Romania and Ukraine are very sincere in the peace talks. So they quickly decided on the location of the meeting, which was in Odessa, the largest port city in Ukraine.

The Romanian delegation was led by Prime Minister Blettianu, Foreign Minister Barnosque, of course, and was accompanied by personnel from the industrial, commercial, and financial sectors. The Ukrainian delegation was led by Prime Minister Morakov, and the attaché included Foreign Minister Tolskov, Finance Minister Tikol, and Chief of the General Staff Lieutenant General Nomitov.

After the delegations from both sides arrived, they went to the city hall in Odessa, where the peace talks took place. The Ukrainian group looked at the Odessa City Hall, which was supposed to be guarded by their own guards, but now it was guarded by Romanian soldiers, and the group felt uncomfortable. The Romanian delegation that walked into the town hall with them was completely different, with a nonchalant attitude towards them, only a slight smile as they shook hands.

A long table covered with white cloth, with dozens of stools and chairs on either side, and a cement-colored corner peeking out of the corner. This council chamber, which was not at all dignified or even rudimentary, was the place where they negotiated.

After the two parties took their seats, Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosque was the first to speak: "There is not enough time and the place is relatively simple, so don't be surprised." ”

In the face of the rhetoric of the Romanian Foreign Minister, Molakov, as the Prime Minister of Ukraine, unceremoniously pointed out: "Your Excellency, your words are unfair. Odessa is our inherent territory, and we have not signed any treaties and renounced sovereignty over this territory. So to be precise, it should be that there is not enough time and the place is shabby. Welcome back to Odessa. ”

Prime Minister Morakov's sensitive remarks about diplomatic vocabulary surprised Romanian negotiators. You must know that there are not a few heads of government who understand diplomacy, but the Ukrainian government has only been established for a year, and it is not easy for this Prime Minister Morakov to find out the doorway. The fact that the official foreign minister of the Ukrainian government did not react to this shows that he is completely insensitive to this.

Seeing Prime Minister Morakov point out his mistake, Barnoske casually said: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention. ”

"I hope Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary will pay attention."

In the face of Barnosk's nonchalant tone, Morakov could only endure it.

Regarding the bickering of the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Prime Minister Bretianu saw it in his eyes. The fact that Barnosk deliberately said it wrong is also a trick before the negotiations, which can help them test the level of Ukrainian negotiators. And at present, it seems that the Ukrainian prime minister still has a qualified diplomatic level, so the next major negotiations need to suppress His Excellency the prime minister.

After seeing Barnosque complete his mission, Prime Minister Bretianu tapped on the table and said. "Okay, let's stop dwelling on these little issues, and the peace talks can start now."

Seeing that no one objected to this, he gestured to the minister Barnosque to state the conditions of Romania. After receiving the Prime Minister's signal, Barnosque took out a list that had already been drawn up and stated the conditions of Romania.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the following are our terms for this peace talks. First of all, this fight was caused by the border conflict between the two sides, so in order to plan the areas of their respective borders more clearly, we proposed to redraw the borders. ”

Faced with the first article proposed by Barnosk, Morakov immediately objected. "I'm against it, there is no problem with the border between our two sides. The border between Russia and your country is quite reasonable, and you have no right to make such demands after the Treaty of Brest and after the birth of our new government. ”

In response to Prime Minister Morakov's objection, Barnosk glanced at him, and then said with a blank face: "The current situation in Russia is turbulent, so we must reconsider the demarcation of the border. Moreover, the Brest Treaty was signed between Germany and the Soviet Russian regime, and we have never recognized it. ”

In the face of Barnosk's words, Morakov was about to refute when Prime Minister Bretianu, who was the head of the Romanian negotiating delegation, interrupted: "Your Excellency, let me finish first. We have plenty of time to negotiate the terms of the agreement, which is also basic diplomatic etiquette. ”

Facing Prime Minister Brettianu, who opened his mouth, Molakov held back his rebuttal and motioned to Barnoske to continue speaking. Then he glanced at the Foreign Minister Tolskev, who sat like a stake, and then he assumed a posture of attentive listening. It's just that no one knows what's going on in their hearts.

Seeing that no one was bothering, Barnoske continued. "Secondly, the region of East Moldavia has always been a gathering place for our Romanian community. And the people who lived here were oppressed in Russian times. In order to avoid being oppressed, the local population has decided to return to the embrace of the Kingdom of Romania, and your government must not obstruct the demands of the people of the region. So we want to merge with the East Moldavian region. ”

"Thirdly, according to our investigation, this conflict was caused by your infliction of harm to our soldier Dorke. Therefore, you must apologize and compensate us for our losses and the cost of sending troops. Compensation for the personal injuries of our killed soldier Dork and moral compensation for his family, a total of 280,000 lei. In addition, the cost of our troop contribution this time totaled 2.7 billion lei. ”

"And. About ......"

Barnosque crackled and said a lot about the proposed conditions, but the main ones were the first three, and the latter was just some leftovers such as trade, personnel exchanges, and mutual communication. And he also observed the expressions of the Ukrainian representatives as he spoke, but these people had serious expressions and no superfluous expressions, but he estimated that few of them could fully understand.

"Finally, the question of the withdrawal of our troops. Until we receive compensation and the cost of sending troops, we have the right to station and train in the area where we are currently located. In addition, in view of the poor public security conditions in the area, in order to protect our own rights and interests, we carry out security patrols in the area and arrest everyone who tries to commit a crime. Of course, depending on the nationality of the victim, the trial will be handed over to China or to you. ”

When Barnosk finished speaking, he took out a list and handed it to the Ukrainian representative, and then said: "This is a list of troop expenses, please take a look." ”()
