"Prime Minister, thank you for your hard work. We have been able to achieve such a fruitful result this time, and you have an irreplaceable role. ”

In the palace, Eder spoke to the Prime Minister as he flipped through the Treaty of Trianon, which was still written in French, Hungarian, and Romanian with ink incense.

"The outcome of the negotiations will depend on the performance of the military on the battlefield and the support of the population for the war. And I just brought back what should have belonged to Romania. ”

The Prime Minister remains as modest as ever.

Despite the Prime Minister's modesty, Eder will not forget his credits. In addition to the results of the negotiations, the prime minister has also contributed greatly to stabilizing the situation in the country and providing sufficient material support for the army. After all, two thousand years ago, Liu Bang said that Xiao He could be regarded as the first meritorious.

For Romania, the Treaty of Trianon was far more important than the Treaty of Versailles and other treaties, and was considered its greatest achievement in the war. So for Prime Minister Bretianu, who has been negotiating in France, it is also appropriate to say that it is hard.

Prime Minister Bretianu, who has been in France for more than half a year and has lost more than ten pounds, can also afford it.

So when the prime minister and his entourage returned home, Eder held a welcome banquet for them. He also highly praised the role of the negotiating delegation in achieving this fruitful outcome for Romania.

And at this banquet, Eder also revealed his tone. For those who have made meritorious contributions to Romania's acquisition of new territories, the royal family will give noble seats to those who have made outstanding contributions. Eder's words stirred the hearts of everyone present at the time.

It is well known that after the establishment of the Kingdom of Romania, the Hohenzollerns were very stingy with the distribution of noble titles. During the reign of Eder's father, Carol I, there were less than twenty nobles in Romania. These also included the Tenth Turkish-Russian War, which gave Romania complete independence. (In this war, Romania divided eleven nobles)

After Eder came to power, Romania had never been crowned with nobles, and the Second Balkan War and Eder's accession to the throne were considered to be very likely to be knighted. So much so that many people think that Eder is very stingy with the feudal nobility, and does not know what conditions are needed to deduct the noble title from his hands.

In fact, these people's speculations are somewhat wrong to Eder. The real reason why he is so stingy is that the influence of his later memories is not favorable to the aristocratic class. In his heart, he believed that most of the aristocracy was dependent on society to absorb nutrients. And since he was born as the heir to the kingdom, the desire for nobility and titles among the ordinary class during this period is also underestimated.

Thankfully, though, Eder decided to open up the title of nobility thanks to his victory in the war. However, despite the opening of the title of nobility, it is extremely harsh on the issuance. Eder's aim was to make it go hand in hand with honour in order to arouse the Romanian people's desire for what he wanted most. In addition, there are also awards for some people who have made great contributions and cannot be promoted. For example, Admiral Prishan and Prime Minister Brettianu, etc., such figures.

Eder put down the finished Treaty of Trianon and continued to the Prime Minister: "The territory has been laid down, and the next thing is to digest it into a solid foundation for the kingdom. At this point, the government needs to be adequately prepared for this. ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the government has made plans for the new territory last year, and will not let the territory that the army has worked so hard to build become a factor of instability."

Prime Minister Brevyanu has enough confidence in this. Because since last year, the government has been training officials who can speak Hungarian, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian and Russian. The government has brought these officials together for training, mainly in the handling of ethnic issues, in the handling of religious disputes, and more importantly, in the monitoring of local grievances. These government officials have ample rights to deal with suspicious elements who wantonly spread dissatisfaction with the government and stir up ethnic antagonism, even if it triggers local ethnic conflicts.

After all, this is the beginning of the twentieth century, a time when nationalism prevailed, not the era of the twenty-first century.

These officials are carefully selected by the government, and each official is a versatile person with outstanding local government ability, high political awareness, and how to mediate social emotions. And there is no political stain, and at the same time it has its own opinion on the work of the government in multi-ethnic areas. Moreover, with regard to the multi-ethnic problems of the new Territories, the Government had focused on the ways in which they could deal with them.

For the Hungarian nation, it is mainly to squeeze their living space and force them to leave the local area. This is also the fact that the Hungarians have a lot to do with the tension between the Hungarians and other local ethnic groups. The main reason is also the Hungarians' own pot, setting a target, allowing other peoples to vent their inner feelings, and also conducive to Romanian rule.

And for the Poles, where Galicia is located, Romania is another disposition. The main thing was to open the channel with Polish immigrants, and even acquiesced to the Polish government to send people to mobilize these people to emigrate to Polish soil. For the newly-born Poland, it was a good choice to introduce its own nation from Galicia to enrich the region of Lower Silesia and West Prussia when Romania was stronger than itself.

As for other ethnic groups such as Ukrainians and Czechs, as long as they do not misbehave, the Romanian government does not have much policy on dealing with them at present. In a word, when you are a good citizen, you will be treated as a citizen.

Upon completion of the training, these officers will be assigned to different regions in batches based on merit and competency. The main basis is that for areas that need to be cleansed, officials with outstanding ability and tough style will be sent to areas where assimilation is required. They became the backbone of the government's ruling power in the new territory and made the greatest contribution to the new territory.

"I believe in the competence of the government, and the geological exploration work cannot be relaxed in the new territory, in addition to the national question."

Eder's thinking turned quickly, one moment he was still discussing the national question, and the next moment he was talking about geological exploration. Because he had the impression that Transylvania and Transcarpathia have more mineral resources, and for the current Romania, mineral resources are the booster of the Romanian economy. In the past, Romania could only get its hands on oil except for grain. (Potash is after getting Transylvania, and the region is not rich in mineral resources, as long as it is stone and gold ore, it is not bad)

Eder turned fast, and Prime Minister Brettianu answered quickly.

"In this regard, our government is prepared. At present, in addition to the four geological exploration teams we have prepared, we have also formed two teams in conjunction with the University of Bucharest, the University of Iasi and other schools. Moss explores the current new territory. ”

"Not enough."

After hearing the Prime Minister's words, Eder knew that he was only focusing on Transylvania, east of the Tissa River and eastern Transcarpathia, which was not enough. In later generations, Ukraine was not only a country with superior agricultural conditions, but also a large country with resources, otherwise it would not have qualified as a heavy industrial base for the Soviet Union. In later generations, the resources of Western Ukraine were not famous, and that was also based on the fact that Eastern Ukraine was too rich.

"At present, the territory of Ukraine, where our troops are stationed, is also secretly sending people to explore."

It was clear that Edel had the idea in mind.

"This is Ukrainian territory, so it's not good for us to explore."

Eder's words startled Blettianu a lot, and if the secret exploration of resources in neighboring countries was exposed, it would be very serious.

"Don't be afraid, there is our garrison in the local area, just let them send troops to protect the exploration team in the name of training."

It's clear that Eder is a king who is determined to explore the resources of his neighbors.

Seeing that his own king did not care about his diplomatic reputation, he also wanted to explore neighboring countries.

"Your Majesty, please consider this matter carefully."

The prime minister was a little unhappy, after all, it was a loss of face for the kingdom.

"I've thought about it. Just do what I say. ”

In the face of the king's obstinate and even hard-line attitude, Bretianu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Your Majesty......"

"Go ahead and do it."

Edel waved his hand and let the prime minister swallow his words hard.

Looking at the back of the Prime Minister leaving, Eder didn't know what he was thinking.
