After listening to the conditions given by Prime Minister Morachevsky, Bretianu held back a smile and said, "Your Excellency, we have received the conditions of your country. However, I will need to deliberate before I can give you an answer on whether or not you will send troops. ”

As soon as Morachevsky heard the words of Prime Minister Bretianu, he secretly said something bad. So he immediately said, "Your Excellency, can you tell me what kind of conditions are needed to send troops to help our country?" ”

Seeing Prime Minister Morachevsky, who did not even care about diplomatic etiquette, Bretianu then stated the conditions of Romania.

"We have no other claims, except that your country refrains from making any territorial claims to the region of Eastern Galicia. The other is to sign an economic and trade friendship agreement to reduce the tariffs between your country and China to 5. ”

Unexpectedly, after Moraczevsky heard Prime Minister Brettianu's conditions, he immediately stood up.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this condition is unacceptable to our country. Tariffs are too low, and they are too harmful to our economy. ”

Morachevsky was the prime minister, and he immediately found the most crucial part of Romania's condition. Tariffs on the other side5 will indeed bring the two countries closer to each other's economies. However, it is necessary to consider what Poland produces and what Romania produces to understand how much this condition is in Romania's interest.

At present, Poland produces mainly grain and light industrial products, while Romania mainly produces grain, oil and industrial products mainly automobiles. Among these products is grain is excluded first, neither country imports from the other, while Romania itself has light industrial goods, while Poland does not have goods such as oil and cars.

The treaty was entirely about using Poland as a dumping ground for Romanian goods, and it would be a hundred times more difficult for Poland to establish the same industry in the future. Because they will have no defense against Romanian like-minded goods, how can this not make Moachevsky oppose.

He is here to ask for help, not to betray the country.

Prime Minister Morachevsky's reaction was expected by Brettianu, and in fact he even took into account the fact that His Excellency the Prime Minister left at dawn in a fit of rage. The dangers of this trade agreement are well known. Romania is not an open church, how can it be possible to send troops to help Poland in vain. Please, we are not familiar with it, of course we need to talk about interests.

And this condition is just to test Poland's reaction and endurance first, and it seems that Poland is indeed very urgent at the moment, so it will be easy to talk about it next.

Prime Minister Brettianu said with a smile. "This condition is just a preliminary draft made by our country because we do not know much about the actual situation in Poland, and we can still talk about it."

Hearing that Romania could negotiate this condition, Morachevsky immediately reacted that he was a little urgent. So after calming down, he said: "The first condition of your country is acceptable to us, but the second is too harsh on our country, and I will not accept it even after I talk about it, the parliament and the government." ”

After seeing Prime Minister Morachevsky's tone soften, Bretianu continued: "That's why we need to negotiate mutually acceptable terms. At present, it seems that our differences are mainly over tariffs under the Economic and Trade Friendship Agreement. So how high can your country accept tariffs? ”

Prime Minister Bretianu's words made Prime Minister Morachevsky think. At present, the overall tariff opposite Poland is about 22, and since Romania's conditions are for economic benefits, it is impossible to continue to give such tariffs. However, the issue of tariffs affects all sides, not only domestically, but also in other countries, and the reaction of other countries will also need to be considered by Poland.

If you want Romania to send troops to help Poland, then you can't talk about it if you give it high, and you will suffer if you give it low. At this time, Prime Minister Morachevsky was in a dilemma, so he tried to say, "I think our two countries are more closely helping each other, and the tariff of 15 is a reasonable number." ”

Unexpectedly, after Prime Minister Bretianu listened to his conditions, he said without thinking about it, "It's too high, and this will make the military dissatisfied." After all, it takes persuasion of the military to send troops. ”

After hearing Prime Minister Brettianu's words, Prime Minister Morachevsky couldn't help but say, "So what are the tariffs that your country thinks are reasonable?" ”

"Considering what is acceptable to your country, I think 7 is a mutually acceptable number."

In response to Morachevsky's inquiry, His Excellency the Prime Minister gave the latest figures with a fully considerate face.

"It's not good, it's still too low. Such a minimum tariff will not only be accepted by our country, but also by Britain and France. ”

This time, Prime Minister Morachevsky not only said that his country could not accept it, but also brought out Britain and France. Taking into account the possible reaction of Romania, he also re-quoted a price.

"For the sake of the relationship between the two countries, we can also grit our teeth and lower 1. It is impossible to lower this, otherwise there is no way to explain to either side. ”

"I believe you're a ghost."

Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, who is an old fritter, will take the other party's words as the last condition to heart. In the end, I have heard too much about the low price, and who really takes it seriously?

"The military will not agree to the conditions you give. It's too high, these armies have a lot of thoughts in their minds to expand their territory, and they don't know much about the economic aspect. Your country doesn't want to suffer in this regard. ”

Hearing that Prime Minister Brettianu always used the military as a shield, Morachevsky couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency, can your country not be able to command the army?" ”

Seeing Prime Minister Morachevsky, he was dissatisfied with his constant use of the army as an excuse. Prime Minister Bretianu not only truthfully informed him, "Your Excellency, the situation in our country is different from that of your country, the military has risen in power since the end of the war, and the government is indeed a little indirect. Because our country is a kingdom system, and the senior commander of the army is His Majesty the King, you will not let me command the king. ”

Prime Minister Bretianu's explanation, which left Prime Minister Morachevsky somewhat dumbfounded, can still explain the monarchical regime in this way.

So the two of them then went back and forth on the tariff issue, you raise 1 and I lower 1. It was only at the beginning of the day that the terms of Romania's troops were finally negotiated.

Romania will send troops to Poland within four days, including at least 200,000 troops. As for the question of command, Romania will be used as a strategic unit and will not be split. The Polish side only needed to give the goal, and the Romanian army itself was responsible for the route of march and the battle plan. Moreover, in order to facilitate the command of the two sides, Poland will send liaison officers to Romanian reinforcements, and Romania will also send liaison officers to the Polish side to ensure that the two sides can cooperate in their operations.

As a condition for Romania to send troops, Poland would not be allowed to claim sovereignty over the region of Eastern Galicia. At the same time, the two sides signed a mutual defense treaty, under which the other side must give the other side all the help, including the army, in the event of an attack by Soviet Russia (this was strongly requested by Prime Minister Morachevsky, and the prime minister agreed to make concessions to the other side in tariffs).

Finally, on the economic and trade friendship agreement that the two sides are most concerned about, the two sides have decided to use 10 tariffs as the benchmark. The trade friendship agreement is valid for 15 years, the same period as the mutual defense treaty.

That night, the terms of the Lobo friendship agreement appeared in Eder's hands, and after reading the agreement, he said to the prime minister, "The prime minister has worked hard to negotiate such generous terms for Romania." I expected a tariff of 12, but I didn't expect to talk about 10, and it's all the credit of the Prime Minister. ”

At this time, His Excellency the Prime Minister, who consumed too much energy because of the negotiations, said with a smile, "This credit belongs to Soviet Russia, and whoever made them have to come to Warsaw." ”

"Hahaha"

Hearing a rare joke from His Excellency the Prime Minister, Eder and Marshal Prieshan on the side both laughed. If you think about it carefully, the prime minister is right, if it were not for the Soviet Union and Russia forcing Poland to an existential point, Poland would not have signed such a treaty.

After Eder suppressed his smile, he asked the chief of staff on the side, "Can your military send troops in four days?" ”

His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff, who had already reached the pinnacle of military service, patted his chest and said reassuringly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the army has already been assembled." The Polish Army Group, with 11 divisions, 1 brigade and five heavy artillery regiments, was ready, and this time it would still be under the command of Colonel-General Fereit. As long as His Majesty gives an order, they can be reinforced immediately. ”

Edel thought about it for a moment and said, "That's good, we can't let the neighbors wait too much, so we'll leave in two days." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Next, it depends on whether Tukhachevsky, a talented commander, is considering reinforcements from Romania.
