Chapter 111: Luo Bao Negotiation on (Ask for Subscription)
When the Bulgarian special train entered the Bucharest railway station, the Romanian reception staff who had been waiting for a long time were ready, and Romanian Prime Minister Blettianu and Foreign Minister Balsnock were already ready.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Bletianu and Foreign Minister Basnock of Romania are waiting on the platform." A member of the delegation stepped forward to report on the Romanian greeting team for Prime Minister Geisov and Foreign Minister Dolas Slázloch.
"Okay, we got it." Foreign Minister Dolasloch waved for the member to leave first. Then he spoke to Prime Minister Gaischov next to him. "It seems that Romania still takes us more seriously."
In the face of the Foreign Minister's words, Prime Minister Gai Shuov did not answer, and after tidying up his clothes, he said. "Don't keep the Romanians waiting." After saying that, he walked to the car door with a smile on his face, followed by Foreign Minister Dilas Rockzi.
Prime Minister Bretianu and Foreign Minister Barnosque, who were waiting on the platform, were greeted by Bretianu and Barnosque as they walked down the door with Dilas Loch with a smile on their faces.
"On behalf of Romania, I welcome you, Prime Minister Gesov, and I believe that this visit will increase the relationship between Romania and Paulia and make us like brothers."
Bretianu stepped forward to welcome Gaisov.
"Thank you very much Prime Minister Bretianu for coming to greet us personally. This time, we in Bulgaria have come to inspect the development achievements of Romania in recent years. I hope that Romanian friends will not hide their secrets. ”
Prime Minister Gaishov did not forget to joke when he said the nominal goal this time.
"We will be honest with our Bulgarian friends and pass on the experience of Romania to you."
Prime Minister Blettianu is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, even telling Bulgaria that they can't do it. After all, Bulgaria has no resources, what to rely on to develop its economy. Anyway, if Romania can still produce oil and grain, it will have a foundation to support development.
The prime ministers of the two countries had a hypocritical conversation together, and neither foreign minister spoke, but both looked at each other with a smile on their faces, as if opposite was their long-lost brother.
In the end, I saw that the two prime ministers had talked about it, and it was Barnoske who asked as the host. "We've prepared a welcome dinner, don't you know if Prime Minister Gaischov needs to take a break?"
"Thank you, Foreign Minister Barnosk, for your thoughtfulness." Prime Minister Gaisov also felt that the conversation was not good, and after thanking Barnoske for a while, he said to Prime Minister Brettianu. "We really needed a break after a day's train ride."
"It's okay." Bretianu spoke generously. "I didn't think it through, I should give you a break, but you must attend the welcome dinner."
"In the face of Romania's enthusiasm, of course, we have to feel it."
After the personnel of both sides made their counterparts feel their enthusiasm, Foreign Minister Barnosque and the Bulgarian delegation were stationed at the Kingdom Hotel hosted by the Romanian Government. After bringing the delegation led by Prime Minister Geshov to the Kingdom Hotel, Barnoske took his leave.
After watching Barnosque leave, Dilasloch looked around at the absence of hotel staff, all members of the delegation, and asked Prime Minister Geishov. "Romania was too enthusiastic this time, and it seems that they have already guessed our intentions."
After hearing the words of Dilas Lodge, Prime Minister Gaishov replied. "I can't hide this from them, who can we deceive by our actions in the Balkans." Prime Minister Gaishov paused and continued. "However, judging from the conversation with Prime Minister Bretianu, Romania should have been prepared for a long time, and it is estimated that the asking price will not be too low."
Hearing Prime Minister Gaisov's words, Foreign Minister Dilas Lodge said with a little surprise. "Isn't that troublesome for the purpose of our visit?"
"It's not a problem, the most troublesome thing is that Romania is indifferent to our visit, and it would be bad if we didn't join the alliance." Prime Minister Geishov said what he thought was the worst outcome.
Hearing Prime Minister Geisov's words, Dilas Lodge thought that the Balkan League was at war with the Ottomans, and Romania, the country with the strongest army in the Balkans, stabbed in the back, then this picture makes people shudder to think about it. Now all the Balkan countries know that Romania has an army that is integrated according to the German army, and that it is not inferior to Germany in terms of equipment, and even if it is inferior in training, it is not comparable to that of several countries. Moreover, Romania has a much higher mobilization capacity than them, and it is no problem at all to pull an army of 800,000 people, after all, it is the most populous of several countries.
Eder actually considered this possibility, but if he really did this, the history he knew would be changed beyond recognition, and it was estimated that the Entente would not be able to join in World War I, and even if he did, he would not get so many benefits. Eventually, he gave up on the tempting idea.
After talking, the two were not young people after all, and took a break in their respective rooms to prepare for the dinner that Romania had prepared for them.
Towards the turn of the lamp, Prime Minister Gaishov and Foreign Minister Dilas Lodge were ready in their evening dresses. The welcome dinner, taking into account the fact that the Bulgarian delegation would arrive in the afternoon, was arranged in the banquet hall of the Kingdom Hotel.
"Are you all ready?" Prime Minister Geisov asked who would be in attendance.
"Ready." These people have all expressed their positions.
"Let's go, then."
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Gaisov, the members of the Bulgarian delegation followed him and the foreign minister downstairs to the banquet hall.
After Prime Minister Bretianu saw Gesov coming downstairs with the delegation, he took Foreign Minister Barnoske to greet him. "Prime Minister Gaisov, welcome to this dinner specially set up for you, I hope you can have a good time."
"Thank you, Prime Minister Brettianu, for preparing a dinner for us, I believe everyone can have a good time." Prime Minister Gaishov also said words of thanks.
At the invitation of Prime Minister Brettianu, Prime Minister Gaischov walked into the banquet hall with the delegation. For a while, the glass of light was staggered, and the dinner party also began to be lively, and the two prime ministers also began to chat.
"His Royal Highness Crown Prince Eder has arrived."
With the sound of a loud voice, the crowd quieted down, and everyone who came to the dinner knew what to do, but they didn't need to command, and the crowd automatically separated into a link to the entrance passage, and the two prime ministers were also at the bottom of the passage.
After everyone had taken their seats, Eder walked directly from the door to Prime Minister Geesov, who was leading the Bulgarian delegation. As he approached, the crowd standing on either side of the passage saluted him.
Eder walked up to Gaisov, took a glass of wine, and turned to the people present. "Let's toast to the arrival of the Bulgarian guests and wish the two countries a more friendly relationship."
When everyone present heard the crown prince's speech, they all raised their glasses and shouted loudly. "Cheers to the friendship between the two countries."
Edel raised his glass and drank it to the group. After Gaisov, who was next to him, also drank this wine, he knew that this was a good opportunity. As Romania's neighbors, they certainly knew the status and power of this Crown Prince Eder. It can be said that Romania's rapid development in recent years is inseparable from the promotion of this young man in his twenties.
From the development of the Ploiesti oil fields, to the large economic loans of Germany, and then the reorganization of the Romanian army, a large number of Romanian industries were established. In particular, the automobile industry and the oil industry are the result of his single push, and now Romania is the second largest supplier of refined oil products in Europe, the first largest manufacturer of automobiles and tractors, and he has brought Romania from an agricultural country to a country with an initial industrial base in just a few years.
I really don't know if this is born with ability or acquired exercise, but it is estimated that he was born with no mistakes in investment. Now Geshov is a little envious of Romania being able to get a wise future monarch, which can make the country develop more quickly.
Gaishov now could not care to lament the good fortune of Romania, and now he knew that this was an opportunity for Bulgaria, and if he could convince the young man in front of him, it would save Bulgaria a lot of money and get the desired result. With this in mind, Gaischov took a glass of wine and walked up to Eder.
"I've seen Your Highness. Your vision of the relations between the two countries is what we in Bulgaria hope for. May we be friendly for generations to come. ”
Eder responded when he heard Gaisov walk up to him with his wine. "May we be friendly for generations to come."
After a polite remark, Gaishov began to get to the point. "I wonder what His Highness thinks of Ottoman?"
Hearing the words of the smiling Bulgarian Prime Minister in front of him, Eder knew that he was testing himself, but he was not so tempting. "Regarding the Ottoman Empire, I think he is changing himself, as can be seen in Germany helping to put his army in order after Al-Shabaab came to power."
Prime Minister Gaishov saw that the crown prince was unwilling to show his attitude and decided to continue. "But now the Ottoman Empire oppressed all the peoples in his European territory, Serbs, Greeks, Montenegrins, and Bulgarians in our country, including more than 100,000 Romanians living in Macedonia. Your Highness, we cannot afford to watch our own people being humiliated like this. ”
Faced with Prime Minister Gaisov's righteous questioning, Eder made up his mind to play procrastination. "I will seriously consider what Your Excellency said, but this is something that the Cabinet can handle."
Seeing that Crown Prince Eder was still reluctant to say more, Gaishov knew that he would not get an answer either. However, it would also be beneficial for the Romanian ruler to know the purpose of Bulgaria's visit in two days. And by the scale of his speech and reception to the crown prince, he could sense that he did not expect the worst to happen.
After talking to Gaisov, Eder left a short time later. And the Bulgarian prime minister also left the dinner scene not long after, citing the need to rest. The other members of the Bulgarian delegation did not return to their rooms until the end of the dinner.
