After returning to the headquarters of the Liberal Party, a group of high-ranking officials discussed with Prime Minister Brettianu. I didn't discuss a reason, so I could only act at the opportunity to see if the crown prince would make any moves. The reason for this result is that everyone has long warned that the crown prince will take over power. It was already obvious in the previous performance of the king, but he didn't expect that even the power to approve the cabinet was given to the crown prince, and now he only needs to send what should be sent to the king for approval, and the rest is still the same.

After discussing with a group of high-ranking officials to no avail, Prime Minister Bretianu and his cousin Wendiler stepped out. After boarding the carriage, Wendyler whispered to his cousin. "They said they wanted to come and visit tomorrow night."

"Okay, I'll be at home and waiting for them."

Prime Minister Bretianu knew that his cousin was speaking of the ambassadors of Britain, France, and Russia, and that it was a diplomatic victory for them to be able to neutralize Romania now. Because they know that Germany's economic and military penetration of Romania is too high to be pulled back in the short term. (By 1910 Germany had invested £36.7 million in Romania, mainly in manufacturing and mining.) ）

Sure enough, the news of the crown prince's approval of the cabinet list reached everyone's ears after they discussed it. However, the top brass of all parties have long been mentally prepared for this, and they still do what they should do. Only the lower classes are talking about it.

The next day, Prime Minister Buletianu returned home in the evening to await the visit of the three ambassadors after finishing his work with the government. At nearly 7 o'clock, all three ambassadors arrived, and his cousin Wendiller went out to meet him.

Seeing the three ambassadors behind the door, Prime Minister Bretianu stood up and said to the three ambassadors separately. "Hello, Ambassador Richardman. Welcome to the Humble House. ”

Richardman is the new British ambassador, succeeding Liszt, the former ambassador who had made no progress in Romania.

"Congratulations to Mr. Bretianu on his assumption of the post of Prime Minister, and Romania will surely become more prosperous under the leadership of Your Excellency." Ambassador Richardman said to Prime Minister Brettianu.

"Thank you, Mr. Ambassador, for your interest in Romania."

After Brettianu finished speaking, he continued to greet the French ambassador Jean Bard and the Russian ambassador Ferralovsky.

Then everyone sat down in the living room, and after the servant brought tea, Prime Minister Brettianu opened the conversation first. "Mr. Ambassadors, what do you think of Romania?"

Of the three ambassadors sitting opposite, British Ambassador Richard Man was the first to speak. "Your Excellency Prime Minister, Romania has achieved good results in recent years, and many of your products are selling well in Europe. To tell you the truth, before I came to Romania as ambassador, I drove a Volkswagen. ”

Hearing Ambassador Richardman's words, everyone smiled kindly. Having said that, if it weren't for the fact that Romania has developed very well in recent years, and there is an army that looks pretty good, if it were still the same as five years ago, it is estimated that they would not be so concerned about Romania. After all, it is now the first power in the Balkans (except Austria-Hungary), and it is also worth winning over the Entente.

"Thank you, Ambassador Richardman, for your love of Romanian products. In recent years, Romania has achieved its current results under the leadership of the old Prime Minister Sturre, which is the result of the help of friends from all sides. Bretianu said politely. Everyone understands the role of the crown prince in the economy, but it is impossible to say the same to the outside world, after all, the government is the main body of management in the country.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is absolutely right in saying that Romania needs help from friends from all sides. It's just that Romania seems to be a bit unbalanced diplomatically in recent years, which is not good for the country. "Russian Ambassador Feralovsky gave his opinion.

"Mr. Ferralowski, you are too anxious, every country has its own ill-conceived times, and we have to trust Prime Minister Brettianu's vision. And Romania, of course, has its own considerations and cannot be too blame-worthy of other countries. ”

The French ambassador Jean Bard advised the Russian ambassador Ferralovsky not to be too impatient, and the French ambassador did not blush when he said this.

Felarowski stood up and bowed his head in apology before everyone could react. "I'm sorry Your Excellency, Prime Minister, but I was too impatient."

Bretianu also stood up and supported the Russian ambassador and said with a smile on his face. "It doesn't matter, after all, Mr. Ambassador is also thinking about us."

Suddenly, a scene of good-neighborliness, friendship and harmony of society was staged in the living room. In fact, Prime Minister Bretianu knew that the ambassadors of Russia and France were playing a double act, but it just so happened that Romania needed to show goodwill to the three countries and devote itself to the role it should play. In fact, Romania has placed half of its army on the Russian border, which also attempted to overthrow the Romanian government a few years ago. A few years ago, they hated each other to die, but now they look respectful of each other, this is politics.

After the Russian ambassador and Prime Minister Brettianu performed this good-neighborly play, British Ambassador Richard Mann said. "Your Excellency Bretianu, although Ambassador Filalovsky said something unpleasant, it is also his own sincerity, and the current diplomatic situation of Romania is indeed not good."

Faced with the words of the British ambassador Richard Man, Bretianu replied. "Ambassador Richardman, we have a close relationship with Germany, mainly because of their investment in Romania. As we all know, China's economy was relatively poor before, with a single output, mainly relying on the export of agricultural products. With the help of German loans six years ago, China was able to develop from a single exporter of agricultural products to a country with initial industrialization. How can such help not make our people grateful to Germany? ”

After listening to this, the ambassadors of the three countries knew that this was Prime Minister Brettianu saying that Germany had given a loan, so he was close to Germany. Britain, France, and Russia did not give them any benefits, and could only treat them coldly. The ambassadors of the three countries understand and understand, but the work of wooing Romania still needs to be done.

The British ambassador, Richardman, and the French ambassador, Jean Bard, looked at each other and knew that Romania would not be neutral without some capital.

Again, it was Ambassador Richardman who spoke first. "We are also saddened by the economic backwardness of Romania, especially the poor health conditions, which lead to the health of the population. My country intends to provide assistance to Romanian medical equipment. ”

After the British ambassador finished speaking, it was the turn of the French ambassador Jean-Bard. In fact, France had a good influence on Romania before, and many Romanians had studied in France before. For example, the current Minister of Industry, Lacaturi, and the Chief of the General Staff, Presanne, have all studied in France, and now some aristocrats like to send their children to study in France. At the national level, however, France's influence was much worse, worse than that of Austria-Hungary and Germany, and only slightly better than that of Russia. This is all the effect of the alliance with Russia, and now it is for Russia, and the French intend to relieve the pressure on their allies.

That's when I heard Ambassador Jean Bard speak. "I will try to apply for a batch of low-interest loans from China to help Romania develop its own economy."

After finishing speaking, the two ambassadors, Bard and Richardman, glanced at the Russian ambassador Ferralovsky. The Russian ambassador had no choice but to bite the bullet and state his conditions. "I will ask the country to reduce the price of coal, iron and iron ore imported from Romania."

After hearing Ferarowski's conditions, all three of them secretly sighed in their hearts, 'What a slam on the door'. However, considering the current economic situation in Russia, it is indeed difficult for Russia to take money. At present, Mao Xiong is relying on French loans to get by, and the domestic economy is not good, and it is normal to have to rectify the economy and expand armaments and wars, and it is normal that they cannot come up with money.

"I am very grateful to the three ambassadors for their concern for Romania, and I believe that our relations will get better and better in the future." Prime Minister Brettianu also said something kinder about looking to the future, and he will not give results easily when he does not see aid.

The three ambassadors also did not expect Prime Minister Blettianu to agree to anything immediately, this time mainly to make Romania feel the goodwill of the three countries. After chatting for a while, the three ambassadors left with satisfaction with what they had gained today.

After seeing off the three ambassadors, Brettianu asked his henchmen to bring a note to the palace with the terms of the three kingdoms. Changing diplomatic relations is such a big thing, and he doesn't dare to decide privately without the approval of the royal family.

Eder looked at the note in his hand written by Prime Minister Bretianu, which he had already read. Unexpectedly, Romania only signaled, and these Entente countries immediately came to the door. But this is also in line with their own needs, but I don't know how much benefit I can get from them. Thinking of this, Edel wrote a receipt agreeing to continue the conversation, and called a guard to send him to the prime minister.

It didn't take long for Prime Minister Bretianu to receive a receipt from the guards stating that he was allowed to continue.

With the consent of the crown prince, Prime Minister Buletianu negotiated with three ambassadors who also had the consent of the government. After a friendly conversation, the two sides reached an agreement.

On March 4, 1911, the two sides unanimously announced that the three countries had made a loan to Romania. Among them, France will provide Romania with a low-interest loan of 2 million pounds for 10 years, and Britain will provide a loan worth 1 million pounds for the purchase of medical equipment, and doctors will also be sent to train Romania's backward medical technology. Russia reduced the customs duty on Romanian imports of coal and iron ore by five points, but only for the amount imported in 1910, and the excess was to be levied according to the original customs duty.

In the face of the terms signed by Romania and Britain, France and Russia, I do not know what the attitude of the German side is.

(Mantou was very happy, and asked for a recommendation vote, and everyone actively voted for Mantou, with more than 400 votes.) Here, I would like to thank the book friends who voted and the book friends who gave rewards. The book friends who rewarded steamed buns before have not been grateful. Here is a unified voice: "Thank you boss for the reward, thank you for your love for steamed buns." In the next time, I will work harder to codewords and make the big guy happy. ”）
