"Your Majesty, this is a private request from the German ambassador Baslober, I dare not make a decision privately, I can only hope that Your Majesty will rule."

General Pleshan, the General Staff, was talking to Eder about what Ambassador Baslober had just told him.

In fact, the matter is very simple, the German government wants to buy two planes from Romania for a price of 1 million marks each. Of course, for Germany to pay such a high price, it is certainly not that the Germans are too lazy. They needed two of Romania's latest Condors, or more precisely, a firing coordinator.

As for the information of the Romanian army, Germany, with the advantage of being a consultant for many years, still has many channels to know. This time it was learned that Romania had a new aircraft that could attack forward without damaging the propellers, and the Germans, who were fighting fiercely in Europe, urgently needed this weapon. Berlin not only knows the news of the new aircraft, but also knows about the armored experimental battalion that is being formed, but it has not yet encountered it on the battlefield, and it is reasonable that this kind of formed armored unit has not been taken seriously.

It was after receiving Berlin's request that Ambassador Baslober test the attitude of Romania towards Admiral Prisham. So why didn't he just ask Eder about it? Because Romania is now a neutral country, and Ambassador Baslober will be too conspicuous if he goes to Eder and will be easily noticed by the Allied ambassadors, so he asked the chief of the General Staff, General Prishan.

And the Chief of the General Staff, Pressan, of course, did not dare to make his own decision, and he knew that it was the German ambassador Baslober who wanted to pass on the message to Eder himself. Prime Minister Brevianu is a well-known pro-British French, and it is impossible to talk to the Prime Minister, after all, this is a shady matter, and Ambassador Baslober is very distrustful of Prime Minister Brettianu.

(According to the Neutrality Act, neutral countries cannot sell military supplies and technology to belligerent countries, although this is for small countries, such as the United States in World War I, whose neutrality was completely biased in favor of the Allies, and the Allies did not dare to criticize it.) In the end, it's still about strength, you have strength, and it's up to you to call it neutral. ）

Eder was also very embarrassed by Germany's request, and he was not surprised that Germany knew that Romania had new aircraft, after all, Germany had a military advisory group in Romania for nearly a decade, and it was normal to know some news. Moreover, there are many officers in Romania who have a good impression of Germany, after all, there are not too many officers who go to Germany for further training every year.

"What do you think, Chief of the General Staff?"

Eder asked about Admiral Prishan in front of him, since the outbreak of the war, his confidant has been working to weaken Germany's influence in the Romanian military, but it has been less than a year, and the effect is not obvious at present.

Admiral Prei replied after a moment's thought. "Your Majesty, we cannot afford to supply Germany with our new aircraft in the open, as this would undermine the principle of our neutrality. And the rejection of Germany's demands will also have an adverse impact on our external environment, after all, the situation in the Allies is very favorable now, and it is difficult for us to refuse. So I don't have a good way to do it. ”

Faced with the ball kicked by Admiral Prissan, Eder now thinks differently. He knew that it would not be long before the French would put a prototype of the firing coordinator on the plane, and now offering it would also get a little benefit for Romania. If Germany had gotten this technology from the wreckage of the plane, there would have been nothing to do with Romania, and it would have made Germany wary of Romania. In order to be able to paralyze Germany better, Eder felt the need to give Germany something.

After thinking it through, Eder told Admiral Prishan his decision.

"Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, you can tell Ambassador Baslobo that Romania does not intend to sell new aircraft, but we can give them access to the technology. It's just that this can only be done in secret, and if it is discovered, then Romania will stop supplying technology to Germany, and Romania will never admit it. ”

The reason for Eder's remark was that he was afraid that Germany would deliberately expose its secret dealings with Romania and make the Allies wary of Romania. That's not what Edel wants to see. He also intended to seize the benefits of the latter part of the First World War, and if Britain and France were to be wary of Romania, it would not be something that a small firing coordinator could get back.

After hearing Eder's reply, Prishan replied. "Yes, Your Majesty, I will let Ambassador Basloper negotiate a plan that will satisfy everyone."

He didn't have an answer just now, but this kind of secret technology transaction with other countries still needs Eder to decide. He can't make decisions for the king, and Admiral Pletshire knows that.

"Admiral Presan does not need to charge them when secretly exporting technology with Germany."

As Admiral Préy prepared to leave, Eder added that now that Romania's revenues had increased greatly, he could not afford to spend two million lei.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After watching Admiral Prieshan leave, Eder suddenly missed his wife and children, and he called one of the guards at the door to speak. "Don't call me if there's nothing big today."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With Eder's consent, Admiral Prisan arranged for one of his henchmen to go to the German embassy and tell Ambassador Baslober the news. Ambassador Baslober, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly arranged for one of his henchmen to consult with him on how to secretly complete the technology deal. Eventually, they came up with an unbelievable solution.

The Romanian military will take out the drawings of the Condor fighter from the Koanda aircraft factory, and then leave behind the drawings of the firing coordinator, and will arrange other things for the nearby guards. The German side arranged for a quick person to go to the reference room during this time to pick up the "lost" drawings. The next day, the Keanda aircraft factory will call the police to say that their data is missing, and the police will come to check at random. As for how to send it back home, I believe these Germans will always know.

Thankfully, this plan wasn't seen by Edel, otherwise he would have thought of the phrase "stealing the bell". In the previous life, the story of 2,000 years in the motherland will appear in Romania.

Within two days, the Romanian military approached the Koanda aircraft factory and demanded that the drawings of the Condor be sent to the General Staff, on the grounds that the General Staff needed a backup. Without suspicion, Koanda and Ferraiku asked the military to take out the data of the Condor fighter from the data room, but a staff officer "unintentionally" "left behind" the drawings of the firing coordinator in the data room.

On the same day, the aircraft factory had an "accidental" power outage, and the guards were also transferred to check the situation, so the drawings that were "abandoned" were taken away by someone with a heart, and the data room was turned into a mess. So the next day, the news came out that the aircraft factory had been patronized by thieves. It's just that this drawing has already headed for Berlin on an early morning train.

Thus the secret deal between Romania and Germany was completed.
