Chapter 516 Germany joins the League of Nations

Despite a diplomatic rift, and even targeted Romania in terms of trade imports and exports, in the end, the company's stake remained unchanged.

Because Romania exports less to Britain and France, it cannot be distressed, and at best it can only suffer a small loss.

At present, Romania's exports are mainly in Italy and Spain in southern Europe, Germany in central Europe, Poland in Eastern Europe, and the Balkan neighboring countries. For Britain and France exports are only a small share, and to put it mildly, Romanian products are not as good as their own. As for the Far East, as well as the Americas, the share is not large.

Speaking of the Far East, Eder's newfound friend sent him a telegram. It was hoped that a retired general from Romania could be hired as his personal adviser to help him in the military (historically a German lieutenant colonel, but now he is friends with Eder and naturally starts with acquaintances).

And in the face of this Far Eastern's request to meet a new friend, Eder naturally could not refuse. Not to mention the fact that the Far East has a large enough market, strategic resources alone cannot make Eder ignore the demands of future leaders in the region.

So Eder summoned the chief of the General Staff, General Ferreuit, and asked for a suitable candidate.

"I don't know what your majesty wants from this."

Naturally, Fereit had no reason to disagree with the dispatch of a retired general to serve as a private military adviser. He also has an understanding of the current situation in the Far East, and this is one of the group's highest-ranking leaders, helping to help Romania expand its influence in the region.

Moreover, as far as he knows, the military industry in the Far East is weak, and the demand for ordnance in the region is unusually large, and Romania also produces German weapons that the region likes, and in the future, selling weapons will also help its own military industry.

Admiral Fereit naturally agreed with this, and the only request was to ask King Eder what he wanted from the generals to be sent, so that he could send the retired generals as requested. Because the generals also have different emphases of their own capabilities, some have a deep understanding of campaign command, some are proficient in scattered attacks by small forces, and some are famous for training soldiers and managing logistics. Everything depends on what generals Eder thinks is appropriate.

Edel said as he pondered the habits of his Far Eastern friend. "Be proficient in strategy and tactics, and can also give answers to military problems in combination with national conditions, and interpersonal relationships also need to be handled well, even if the plan is rejected, you can quickly come up with a new plan."

Eder's words made Fereitt's mouth a little dry, where was the choice of a personal adviser, but the chief of staff. So he couldn't help but say. "Your Majesty, according to your request, only me and Marshal Pletshan are the right people."

Listening to the words of the Chief of the General Staff, Eder realized that he was asking too much. However, he sincerely hoped that the military strength of the motherland in future generations could be strengthened, so that it could retain more strength in the future catastrophe. Although he knew that the party had many problems, the people who suffered were innocent.

"Then there are generals who are proficient enough in strategy and tactics, and who handle interpersonal relationships well."

Eder lowered his requirements and took the area of interpersonal relationships very seriously. If it is handled well, it will not only expand Romania's influence, but also benefit the country (e.g., the future General von Seckt, but General Stilwell).

This time, Eder lowered his requirements and made it much easier for Fereitt. He made a choice in his mind, first of all, the rank should not be too high, so as not to attract too much attention, and those generals and lieutenant generals could be ruled out. Then it is necessary to find a major general, and it is really difficult to find a major general who meets Eder's requirements and wants to retire from active service.

Suddenly, he thought of it, and a person's name quickly flashed in his mind, Major General Moderick, the former commander of the Eighteenth Division. This major general has fought in the Balkan War and World War I before, and he has also performed well. Originally, there was hope of being promoted to the next level, but later he withdrew from active duty due to physical reasons.

Later, under the careful recuperation of his family. recovered. Admiral Fereit had planned when he would be re-recruited into the army, but now he needed the general as his personal adviser, and that was him.

"Major General Moderk, the former commander of the 18th Division, meets Your Majesty's requirements."

Faced with the name Fereitt, Eder seemed to have some impressions.

"Then it's up to him to decide."

Major General Moderk, who was full of desire to return to the army, was thus sent to the Far East.

After seeing Fereit away, Horria, the chief of the guard, hurriedly walked in with a telegram.

"Your Majesty, an urgent telegram from Geneva."

Eder took the telegram and saw that the League of Nations had just made a resolution that Germany had been allowed to join the League.

Perhaps the people of the future will scoff at this League of Nations. Because after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Japan used it to wipe its ass against the resolutions made by the League of Nations.

This is because Britain and France had limited military intervention capabilities in the Far East, and the relations between Nanjing and Britain and France were not too friendly at that time, and Britain and France were greatly damaged in the world economic crisis. Didn't you see that the Italian leader had to wait until the thirties to do something in Ethiopia? At present, Britain and France, which lead the League of Nations, are more powerful in Europe, so joining the League of Nations is also the most crucial step for Germany to get out of the status of a defeated country and become a normal country.

However, this step is not easy to take at all. Previously, in 1920, the first congress of the League of Nations was proposed by Switzerland and Argentina for the first time to allow Germany to join the League of Nations, but it was rejected by France with righteous words.

The reason was that the League of Nations was established at a great cost to the whole of Europe, and Germany, as a defeated country, could not be a member of the League of Nations. Moreover, the diplomatic situation at that time was very unfavorable for Germany, and the resistance to Germany's entry into the League of Nations was beyond imagination.

It was only on the eve of the Genoa Conference that the establishment of diplomatic relations between Germany and the Soviet Union eased the situation. Because Britain and France found that not allowing Germany to join would pull them into the arms of the Soviets. At this time, except for France, the attitude of other countries towards Germany's accession to the League of Nations changed.

When the Ruhr crisis broke out, France, which had died badly, suffered heavy diplomatic losses, allowing Germany to gain a large number of sympathetic voices diplomatically. This gave Germany an excellent environment to join the League of Nations. However, the obstruction from France is still impossible to ignore.

Finally, in 1926, in order to cooperate with the smooth implementation of the Dawes plan, the League of Nations made the decision to allow Germany to join.

In the final analysis, Britain and France wanted to use the recovery of Germany to become a normal national carrot, so that Germany would continue to pay reparations. However, Germany, which is gradually regaining its strength in the future, will let Britain and France steal chickens and rice. And the reason for all this, in the final analysis, is still the money.
