Chapter 161: The Romanian Storm
What surprised Zhang Jun even more was that his guard actually ordered so many famous dishes at one time, basically sweeping away all the famous dishes in Poland, of course, it was not that Zhang Jun couldn't afford the money, but this girl was too polite, so he asked him to order food, and slaughtered Zhang Jun like this. Zhang Jun's salary in the SS was also more than 2,000 marks, which was already a very high salary, which was about 1,000 US dollars, and if it was converted into Polish dollars at an exchange rate of 4:1, it would only be 8,000 Polish dollars. After adding the salary of the Polish governor of Poland of 10,000 Polish dollars, Zhang Jun's total income was only 18,000 Polish dollars.
Zhang Jun owned the Polish bank, but Zhang Jun never regarded the bank as his private property, and if that would only be self-defeating. Zhang Jun will never use a penny of the Polish bank privately, Zhang Jun's expenses are all from his own salary, and Zhang Jun who came through the time has really not considered money, then everything is just a passing cloud, Zhang Jun will not live for money, Zhang Jun is a house slave before he crossed, a slave of money, and now Zhang Jun definitely does not want to take the previous road.
Zhang Jun had no choice but to comfort himself in his heart, hoping that the money he brought would be enough to pay for the foodie in front of him. Zhang Jun looked at Bai Qingyue who blinked with a pair of big black eyes, his eyes were full of longing and hope, and he looked at Zhang Jun pitifully, with a shy flush on his face, it felt like a little girl who had done something wrong. It seems that this Bai Qingyue may not have had much time to contact the society before to have such a performance, Zhang Jun can only lament in his heart, admitting that he was unlucky to meet a foodie guard.
Soon the waiter brought Bai Qingyue's dishes up, a table full of dishes, looking at the dishes on the table, Zhang Jun's appetite was also opened, and Bai Qingyue didn't need Zhang Jun to greet him at all, knives and forks flew together, eating in his mouth, his eyes looked at the dishes on the table, and the lightning-like action made Zhang Jun sigh to himself, Zhang Jun originally thought that it was indeed a little difficult for two people to eat so much food, but what Zhang Jun didn't expect was that Bai Qingyue was too good to eat, and the food on the table was almost wiped out in more than ten minutes.
That's what it's called: don't eat for seven days, eat one meal for seven days.
Bai Qingyue touched her belly with satisfaction, and looked at Zhang Jun very shyly, like a gluttonous cat. Zhang Jun saw that there were still some food residues left at the corners of Bai Qingyue's mouth, so Zhang Jun had no choice but to take out a napkin and say to Bai Qingyue with a pleasant face:
"Girl, put your face out."
Zhang Jun's meaning Bai Qingyue still understood, blinked a pair of big eyes, there was no longer the slightest coldness in them, looked at the napkin in Zhang Jun's hand, and then stretched out her face in front of Zhang Jun with a little girlishness, and asked Zhang Jun to wipe the residue from the corner of her mouth with a napkin.
Zhang Jun's gentle movements made Bai Qingyue's body tremble obviously, what was the specific reason, of course Zhang Jun didn't know, Zhang Jun also thought that his guard was because the man helped her wipe her mouth, so that this girl was not comfortable!
……
German Foreign Minister Joachim arrived in Bucharest, Romania, on September 26 to begin diplomatic negotiations with Poland.
Yang? Antonescu is the prime minister of Romania, in fact, Antonescu is the ** of Romania, Antonescu used his absolute power to cancel the constitution, dissolve the parliament and expel Carol II, and replace Mihai I as king, at this time the king is already a puppet, and all rights are in the hands of Antonescu.
Of course, the German Foreign Minister is directly looking for the person in charge of Romania, Romania at this time is a neutral country, Antonescu is not a fool, now Britain, France, Germany and the Soviet Union are eyeing Romania, on the surface Germany has a slight advantage militarily, but Britain, France and the Soviet Union are not weak, Antonescu of course will not choose to stand in line now, Antonescu's plan is to stand there if it is strong.
In this case, the diplomatic efforts of the German foreign minister can be imagined, and the three countries of Britain, France and the Soviet Union have not received any valuable commitments, and Antonescu just does not express his position anyway, whether he agrees with Germany's arms for oil plan, does not deny or affirm.
This was a big deal for the foreign ministers of the three countries, who circled around Antonescu almost every day, but things soon took a turn for the better, because Antonescu held a meeting to discuss which side Romania should be on, some pro-German, some pro-British and French, but not pro-Soviet, because the Soviet Union had just occupied a state in Romania. In this case, there can only be a quarrel, and it seems that the result cannot be obtained by means of discussion, and it can only be Antonescu's own idea, and Antonescu has no choice but to express his opinion at the meeting, "Whoever is good will stand over there".
In the afternoon of the same day, the German News Bureau and the British News Bureau received the news, but the Soviet Union did not receive the news. It is impossible for the Romanians to send information to the Soviets who invaded their own country, it is treason, pro-German or pro-Anglo-French, it is only a matter of political choice.
The Ministry of Defense will hand it over to the High Command, the High Command will hand it over to Hitler's office, and after Hitler's chief of staff Bauman has sorted it out, it will be reported to Hitler for approval. In such a process, the Soviet Union obtained information about Romania from Germany.
In this way, the German Military Intelligence Bureau, the Ministry of Defense, the High Command, and the Führer's Office absolutely hide the high-ranking spies of the Soviet Union, and the position of this spy is not low, otherwise it is impossible to easily steal German intelligence, who will it be? Now no one knows.
In the light of this update, the three countries began to study new options to deal with the unexpected situation in Romania.
……
Germany has long drawn up a plan to conduct simultaneous exercises in both directions on the Romanian border, and to demonstrate to Romania nakedly, the meaning is obvious, if you do not agree with my arms-for-oil plan, my exercises may turn into attacks.
The Kremlin's war conference room was also a gathering of generals at this time, and more than a dozen famous generals such as Zhukov, Chuikov, Petrov, etc., were all summoned by Stalin to study countermeasures. Those who opposed Stalin or made Stalin feel a little disloyal were all purged, and Stalin was able to choose a few of the remaining people who could fight, and there was still some discernment.
The first to express his opinion, of course, was Stalin:
"Comrades, Germany has begun to carry out a very urgent strategic plan, which is now in your hands, which basically consists of exchanging the captured Czech and Polish weapons for Romanian oil, and Romania's total oil production has reached 8.7 million tons, and the Romanian government has 4.35 million tons at its disposal, and Germany has demanded that Romania export oil to Germany no less than three million tons per year.
If Germany is allowed to obtain Romanian oil, Germany will completely get rid of our control over their oil, which is very dangerous for the Soviet Union, so we must find a way to sabotage Germany's arms and oil deal with Romania, and Romania's idea is that if it is strong on that side, it will go to that side, and now you will talk about your views. ”
Zhukov was the first to stand up and speak, not because Zhukov thought he was deeply trusted by Stalin, but because Zhukov had such a temperament and was finally dismissed by Khrushchev because of his character.
"Comrade Stalin, I don't think we can use force against Romania at this time, some time ago we occupied a Romanian oblast, if we send troops to threaten Romania, we will quickly force Romania into the arms of Germany, Germany can send troops to Romania and we have an armed conflict head-on, this is completely contrary to our current strategy, we have decided earlier that we cannot participate in the war between imperialists, so we should find ways to show our strong armed forces from other aspects."
Stalin thought for a while with his pipe in his mouth, and then agreed with Zhukov's opinion:
"Then you talk about how to show our strong armed forces, don't talk about exercises on the Romanian border, Germany has already started exercises, and it is very unwise for us to provoke the Germans at this time, talk about other methods."
Stalin's political acumen is very powerful, although Stalin's command level can only be equivalent to an infantry regiment commander, but Stalin's iron-blooded political skills are not many people can catch up, China's Jiang Zhongzheng's command ability is only a battalion commander level, it seems that Stalin is not at the bottom.
Chuikov took Stalin's words and began to talk about his thoughts:
"Comrade Stalin, since we can't find a way on the Romanian border, we can completely take Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, and these small Baltic countries have a large number of coastlines, which will also be used by us, and to deal with these three small countries, we only need to mobilize 200,000 troops."
"Well, Comrade Chuikov's idea is very good and feasible, I think it can be considered."
Stalin set the tone for Chuikov's opinion, and it seemed that the fate of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia was almost over.
"Comrade Stalin, I don't think that just attacking the three small Baltic countries will not show our strength, and we can take action against Finland after fighting these three small countries, so that we can grab the Finnish port of Hanko."
"I agree."
"I'm in favor of it too"
……
Britain and France are not as domineering as the Soviet Union, their methods are much more tactful, not that Britain and France do not want to be tough on Romania, or use the threat of force, but Britain and France have a secret agreement with Germany, so Britain and France cannot and dare not openly sabotage the arms-for-oil deal between Germany and Romania. Of course, it was impossible, Britain and France had their own methods, so Chamberlain still convened the cabinet members to discuss countermeasures.
