In fact, Luschel's proposal and Pichon's proposal were both for the future of the country, but Luscher was for the interests of France after the war. Because Luschel believed that the Allies had no hope of victory after the United States entered the war, he had to prepare for the situation after the war ended.

Pichon, on the other hand, is for the benefit of France now. He believed that France's losses were too great now, and that it was a bit of a cart before the horse to consider the post-war period first, and that France's losses needed to be reduced in order to take care of the end of the war. The most important thing now is to let other countries share the losses of France, which is why the views of the two men are different. However, it will be necessary to see which situation is more critical for Britain and France at the moment.

The proposal also sparked controversy at the meeting, with both sides having national considerations in mind, which also led to a debate among cabinet members who supported their views. Prime Minister Clemenceau, who presided over the meeting, looked at his cabinet members with a little headache, but fortunately he was still in control of the scene. However, it was also found that the members of the cabinet who supported Foreign Minister Pichon had the upper hand, which also had a lot to do with the great loss of France.

"Alright."

The 76-year-old Clemenceau banged on the table to draw attention to himself and that he was ready to end the controversy.

"Cabinet members, I know your love for France. But now pulling Romania into our camp is the primary factor, so we need to discuss this topic. And we don't have much time, we don't know when Romania will succumb to the pressure of the Allies, so we can't waste our energy and time on other links, let's get straight to the point. ”

After Clemenceau had finished speaking, all the members of the cabinet knew his point of view, and it seemed that His Excellency the Prime Minister was more in favor of the proposal of Foreign Minister Pichon. Now that the prime minister has made his own decision, cabinet members who have other ideas can only accept the prime minister's preparation.

Seeing that the cabinet members did not oppose him, Clemenceau spoke to Foreign Minister Pichon. "Regarding the conditions against Romania, our attitude is that we must pull it into the camp and relieve our pressure. This must make our allies feel our attitude. ”

Pichon nodded to Clemenceau. "I will put forward our views on this point to Balfour, and I am confident that the British side will seriously consider our views."

Clemenceau was also deeply sympathetic to Pichon's words, and some of his family's young men were called into the army. "Yes, the French lads are on the battlefield, and we need to get them back from this hell a little more."

Pedestrians in London are also much less crowded in winter, due to the effects of the war that has been going on for three years. The people, who had just begun to be agitated and fanatical, had already calmed down in the death notices.

The majority of young adults in London now join the army or work in military-related industries, which has led to a serious shortage of other factories in the UK. Fortunately, British shipping remained unimpeded, and although the infinite submarine warfare caused heavy losses to merchant ships, the strong shipbuilding capabilities of the Entente were still relieved. The only bad thing is that ordinary people have a harder time in war, especially in winter when they need enough clothing and food and other necessities.

However, this is only a problem among ordinary people, not at all in the wealthy classes, especially Prime Minister David George, who was in charge of the British Empire. Now he is discussing the terms of Romania's accession with cabinet members.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think Romania's demands need to be lowered a little more."

Speaking was Foreign Secretary Balfour, a former prime minister from 1902 to 1905 and a 70-year-old man who had never married because of the early death of his young lover in his youth, and was eloquently expressing his views. He would later be better known for the Balfour Declaration, which proposed the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. It's just that he hasn't made that point yet, but he's already in the works.

Balfour's views were divergent in the Cabinet, with Lord Milner, the head of the Army, immediately opposing it. "But in doing so, can we guarantee that Romania will definitely join us, and if it joins the League, it will be difficult for the lads in France. I can't let these soldiers who worked for the British Empire be wasted like this. ”

As the Governor of South Africa after the Boer War, Lord Milner, who had only taken over as Minister of War after the First World War, was of course responsible for the British soldiers killed in the French and German armies, so he immediately objected.

Faced with the opposition of the Secretary of War, Balfour offered his own explanation. "Of course, I know that Romania's accession will ease the pressure on our front, but it will only require Romania to come up with a reasonable plan."

Balfour took out a map of the Balkans, pointed to the location of Romania on it, and the stained claimed territory and said to the other members. "You see, Romania has claimed more territory than it already has, and this is a lion's mouth. Moreover, Romania does not discount these conditions, and has no intention of reducing them at all. ”

Many members of the cabinet looked at the Balkan map that Belfort had made people hang, and it was true that Romania claimed more territory than it already had, and began to talk about it.

They suppressed Germany not to give other countries the opportunity to develop and grow, even if they did, they needed to be given by the British Empire and could not ask for it themselves, which is the confidence of being the world's number one power. It was clear that Romania was a bit too presumptuous, which made the British a little uncomfortable, which was something that Eder, who had drawn up this plan, did not take into account.

Because it came from the 21st century, when the British Empire was more of a joke, Eder took Britain very lightly when he developed this plan. So let these old people who are mixed in the political arena see through Romania's purpose at a glance, France has to agree to this plan because of the great loss, but Britain is not so easy to accept.

As the cabinet members discussed, a voice rang out. "I think Romania is asking too little and we should give them something more."

The sound of this voice immediately quieted the cabinet members who were talking, and a slightly chubby man stood up and looked at the other cabinet members, repeating it again. "I repeat. I think we are giving too little and need to give more territory to Romania. ”

The words of this chubby cabinet member caused an uproar at the scene, and for a while this person became the focus of attention, and Prime Minister George, who presided over the meeting, couldn't help but say a lesson. "Churchill, do you know what you're talking about?"
