Chapter 682: Bucharest Diplomatic Battle (Medium)
"Your Majesty Eder, I am here mainly to improve the relationship between the two countries. We apologize for the negligence of the staff who failed to inform your country of the previous Czech issue. Japan attaches great importance to the relationship between our two countries, so I am here to make up for my mistakes. ”
Ribbentrop, who was meeting with Eder, told the ruler of Romania about the mistakes of the German Foreign Office.
In fact, this can't be deceived at all, and he knows this. But diplomacy sometimes fucks up like this, knowing that it's just a cover-up, but the two of them still have to pretend to be disgusting politeness.
"I see, and I said why we only found out about it afterwards."
After Eder said that he had exposed the subject, Ribbentrop immediately followed suit.
"Your Majesty, in addition to making up for previous diplomatic mistakes, this time I hope to further deepen the relationship between our two countries. As we all know, our two countries have a long history of exchanges, and our country and Romania have been very close since the time of His Majesty Carol. And by the time of His Majesty's regency, the ties between the two countries deepened even further. Although there were misunderstandings, we were more cooperative. Especially after World War I, cooperation between our two countries in both the economic and military fields has been further deepened. I am here this time in the hope that we can further deepen cooperation in diplomacy and other areas. To this end, we have prepared terms that are very favorable to our two countries......"
As Ribbentrop was babbling about the need to continue the link between the two countries, Eder waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
"Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, you need to discuss this matter with the government, and the government is in charge of these diplomatic matters."
What's going on?
Ebbentrop's words made Ribbentrop a little confused, and how could it be that he said that he no longer cared about Romanian diplomacy. Who in Europe does not know that you are the most powerful monarch, what can be done in Romania without your consent.
However, although Ribbentrop was talking about it in his heart, since Eder said that he didn't care, then the next words were really difficult to say.
So in the face of such a sudden situation, Ribbentrop had nothing to do for a while. He had no choice but to say to Eder. "Since Your Majesty no longer cares about diplomatic matters, then I will not say it, so as not to disturb Your Majesty."
Since Eder had said that he was not interested in diplomacy, Ribbentrop naturally needed to find another way. After a little chatter with Eder, the Foreign Minister left in a hurry.
Eder smiled playfully as Ribbentrop departed. These Germans want a breakthrough from him every time, and let the government talk about it this time.
That's right, Eder is going to take the matter to the government. Although he has been leading the negotiations in the past, although it can speed up the negotiation process, in many cases there is no room for recovery. And he was honestly not very suitable as a negotiator, although no one told him, but he knew it.
And this time the Germans did not make some detours, how could they attach importance to the attitude of Romania. Of course, Eder still needs to master the degree, but he is not worried about this at all.
Ribbentrop walked out of the palace with a worried face, and he always felt strange during the whole meeting. But before he could straighten out his thoughts, he saw the secretary waiting outside walking by his side in three steps and two steps.
"An hour ago, Polish Foreign Minister Colonel Beck went to visit Deputy Minister Kirstöf."
He was not at all surprised to hear the secretary say about the movements of the Polish foreign minister, just as he had visited the Romanian king this time, and the Poles would have watched his movements as well.
"I see, keep an eye on the Polish embassy and the Polish foreign minister, I want to know what is going on at all times."
But if you know it, you still have to keep an eye on it, at least until Romania makes a statement, there will be no shortage of such things.
Once back in the car, Ribbentrop needed to think about the rest of his itinerary.
After a while, Ribbentrop commanded the driver. "Go to the Prime Minister's Office, let's visit Prime Minister Mihalakei."
Since King Eder didn't care about it, he started with the Prime Minister.
And when Ribbentrop was preparing to visit the prime minister, Deputy Prime Minister Kirsteff was personally sending Polish Foreign Minister Beck out of the door.
"Minister Baker, I understand what you said. I would also like to see further development of bilateral relations. This is not something I can decide, but from the bottom of my heart I support further relations with Poland. Then I will use my influence to fight for your country. ”
In the face of Deputy Prime Minister Kerstoff's blatant words, Baker was naturally grateful. "Thank you for the importance you attach to the relations between the two countries, and Poland will not forget your old friend. If you have anything you can use, you can go to the Polish Embassy and find Ambassador Bolewski, who will help you in any way you can. ”
That's right, Baker is off the beaten path now. In addition to normal diplomacy, he also began to engage in smuggling diplomacy, and his first target was Deputy Minister Kerstev, and the result was not bad, the deputy from Bulgaria was very satisfied with the gift he had given him, and promised to run for Poland.
Baker was overjoyed by this result, considering that this politically influential figure, who can currently influence almost 30% of the government's senior officials, turned to Poland for the next diplomatic work.
Although it took a lot of money to win this deputy minister, it seems that everything is worth it now. At the very least, Poland has an advantage in the diplomatic battle for Romania, although it is likely that this advantage will not be long in coming.
Because Beck knew that the presence of a large number of German technicians and Droz's many years of cooperation made many people in Romania full of good feelings towards Germany. But at the moment Poland is ahead, and the next step is to maintain that advantage.
After sending Baker away, Vice Minister Kersteff, who had been smiling before turning around, was dripping with a gloomy face when he returned to the office.
"These Poles insult me like this when I am what I am."
As he spoke, he was still angry, picked up a precious antique sent by Poland, and threw it on the ground with a snap.
There was no way, Kersteff was depressed. He negotiated with the Prime Minister that each man would be in charge of one side, and that he would choose the Polish side. I thought that the Polish foreign minister had some means, but I didn't expect to come up with this means. While this works for many people, it can only be counterproductive for him.
If there's anyone in Romania who doesn't have a passion for money, Kerstev thinks he can be in the top three. It seems that the Polish foreign minister is not doing a good job, and he has not even figured out his temperament.
