Li Mengyang had not been in the workplace before the crossing, but he had classmates looking for jobs after graduation, so he would inevitably participate in some business banquets...... To put it bluntly, it is to drink to death.

Therefore, Li Mengyang has heard some sayings, that is, these tips for business banquets, one of which is this.

The most important thing is not to say it when you drink and eat, when everyone has eaten and drunk, the banquet is going to disperse, this time is talking!

So why is that?

Li Mengyang really doesn't know this reason, because this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with history and sociology, but this situation seems to be quite accurate, just talked about it with his classmates, and finally said it, and then the other party nodded, haha smiled, and the matter was done.

So now, Li Mengyang mentioned Romania at the end of this farewell dinner, why is this? Or why is Romania so important?

"What do you mean, Brother Clint?" Sure enough, this matter attracted the attention of Joseph I.

"This matter, I actually just saw that you are like this now, so worried, I want to give you a little bit...... It's not too mature, it's ...... anyway" Li Mengyang said a little awkwardly.

However, of course, Joseph I could see that this little brother was probably going to give him some advice, which should have something to do with governance, so wasn't this exactly what he wanted to hear?

Okay!

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it, a smart person like you, then brother, I will definitely listen carefully......"

Let's say that. It's OLD-BROTHER. But it really has to be translated as old brother.

In fact. Joseph I is really not much older than Li Mengyang, and he is also quite handsome, really, but he is handsome, that is when he was young, that is, when he was in his twenties, and now, it is really the central government to support the Quartet. As long as Joseph I and Li Mengyang are put together, there must be a sentence...... Dude! Even calling an uncle, that's appropriate.

Joseph I was bitter, the governance of the country was not good, and there was still a disagreement between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law within the family, hey, he still loved Princess Sissi deeply, but despite this, he also found a lover outside...... White people's view of love is like this, and we really can't understand it sometimes. So, it's weird that he's not bald!

Li Mengyang didn't care about these details. He was right away, and in short, it was......

"Brother, your Austro-Hungarian Empire is now strong, why don't you intervene in the Ottoman Turkish Empire? ……”

What does this mean?

Anyone can understand that Austria-Hungary is advised to engage in Romania.

If you want to talk about this Romania, it is very interesting now, that is, the name of this Romania itself means that the country of the Romans is like this, but there is a question here, who is this Romans referring to?

This matter has to start with the previous Crimean War, which was a fuse in the original war, that is, the prince of Tsarist Russia, Alexander. Sergeyevich. Menshikov went to Ottoman Turkey, and then claimed rights to the Turkish side to protect Bulgaria, Serbia, as well as Romanians!

See, to protect these individuals, then obviously these individuals have an extremely important relationship with Tsarist Russia, the country of Romania was previously formed by the merger of the Duchy of Wallachia and the Duchy of Moldova, but this is not important, from the attitude of Tsarist Russia, that is, they identify with the Romanian people, they are their own people.

To put it bluntly, the 'Romans' here are the Eastern Romans, and of course, the Eastern Romans themselves call themselves Romans, and they don't distinguish between things and things.

There are also some religious ideas involved here, Tsarist Russia is Orthodox, and Romania is the same, but it is not pure, and there is a point of view in the Orthodox Church of Tsarist Russia, that is, there are three Romes, the first two Roman states have been finished, and Tsarist Russia is the third Rome!

So it seems that Tsarist Russia demanded the sovereignty of Romania from Turkey, which has a certain reason, after all, they are a group, but you know, Tsarist Russia lost the Crimean War!

The current Romania is attached to Ottoman Turkey, so Li Mengyang proposed at this time, this matter, Austria-Hungary can do it, the current Romania is still very small, and it is on the edge of Austria-Hungary.

So, what did Joseph I think about this?

"Why bother the Romanians? Isn't that good? And the place is very poor, besides, Ottoman Turkey is a whole mess now......"

Obviously, Joseph I did not want to intervene in Romania, but it was ......

"I said brother, aren't you afraid of the Russians?" When Li Mengyang said this, the look in his eyes was simply ......

"What am I afraid of them? Back in the day! I ...... "Joseph I was immediately stimulated, but his momentum was a little weak, and his confidence was insufficient...... This seems to be relatively rare for a silly old man who takes a cold shower every day!

Why?

Actually, Li Mengyang knows very well that in the famous Crimean War, the Joseph I in front of him is not very good, very inauthentic!

This matter is about to talk about the end of the Crimean War, which was naturally the defeat of Tsarist Russia, but on the eve of the defeat, the then Tsar Nicholas I died.

There are many rumors about the death of Nicholas I, but what is more convincing is that this tsar committed suicide by taking poison and was humiliated, but in fact, there is another factor in this, that is, grievance!

The so-called grievances have something to do with Joseph I, although Tsarist Russia is bound to lose, serfdom is not good, and their weapons are not good, but there is Joseph I in this, this guy originally had an agreement with Nicholas I, but then he was treacherous and stabbed Nicholas I in the back,

According to the grapevine, Nicholas I cursed Joseph I hard before he died, which means. We are all relatives. Are you doing such a thing?

For these things. Li Mengyang, a traverser, has probably heard it, and now there are a lot of gossips, and some people even make up this paragraph very exciting.

However, does this gossip or something have anything to do with Li Mengyang? Isn't he the emperor of America now? Europe is so far away, does it have anything to do with him?

Let's be honest, just now the entire Austro-Hungarian Emperor is visiting. The most important thing is here!

That's really weird, yes, it's really weird, but the relationship between this Romanian thing and Li Mengyang is really very, very big.

In fact, it has something to do with one thing, but this thing can't be bypassed, and the opportunity is very, very good now, and this thing is ......

Petroleum!

Romania has oil, there are big oil fields!

Does it have anything to do with oil?

That's right! It has something to do with oil!

The reason why this is a big deal, and it can't be bypassed, is that it is determined by nature.

What is the state of the world now?

I, the American Empire, have entered the Electric Age. The internal combustion engine has already begun to be used, and many cars have already been exported to Europe. Then the demand for oil is about to come up!

Just this part of the United States, there are oil fields, this land is really good, the land is vast, there is almost everything, the oil fields are also okay, and there are quite a lot of exploits, but Li Mengyang knows very well that when more and more cars are sold and the electric age is further developed, the demand for oil is simply a geometric multiplier.

We certainly don't have enough oil in the United States, we must need oil from outside!

That out there...... Any traveler can immediately think of Saudi Arabia, but there is no such country yet, and in this part of the Middle East, many forces have entered, Britain, France, these old powers have intervened and even gained a foothold, the Suez Canal is an example.

But yet, there hasn't been much to discover about oil over there, so let's go back to Europe.

Right now, the cars have been sold, and most of the oil in Europe is shipped from our empire...... Rockefeller's kid has to eat and drink, otherwise how could he be so loyal to Li Mengyang?

And Li Mengyang knows very well that this place in Europe is actually not bad, and the whole resource is quite rich, but it is short of oil!

In the whole of Europe, leaving behind the later part of Russia, the largest oil field is in Romania!

This is the advantage of the traverser, and now Romania already has an oil exploitation industry, and the development is okay, although it is a small oil well, and it is exploited indiscriminately......

And now, there is a great opportunity in front of us!

Austria-Hungary borders Romania, and in the Crimean War before, they were the victorious powers, and the most important thing is that the dividends of the Crimean War were more taken away by the British, and the French gained prestige, so Austria-Hungary only got a part of the land, but there was not much more benefit.

And after the Crimean War, the Ottoman Turkish Empire declined even more, and the whole country is those four words, the sick man of Europe, although Romania is now dependent on Ottoman Turkey, but if they are given the opportunity, they will definitely become independent, so now if Austria-Hungary comes out to make trouble, such as ......

"Brother, you can help them become independent! And what happened after independence......"

"That's right!"

Speaking of which, it is basically clear, even if Joseph I forced him to understand that after the instigation of Romania for independence, then what happened, such as the debt problem, such as riots, Austria-Hungary could have had the opportunity to send troops, or support an agent, not to mention anything else, this is another great achievement in breaking the territory!

Don't look at the fact that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is very involved in internal ethnic problems, but if it can have more territory, Joseph I will definitely not mind. As for offending Tsarist Russia, this matter is indeed a little worried, but anyway, it was not less offended before, and between Joseph I and Alexander II now, there is simply a grudge against his father.

Don't care anymore!

European aristocrats have been like this since ancient times, they have always been very concerned about the size of their territory, no matter what happens in the end, they die and then the territory is divided, but anyway, I want to see that my place is bigger than others!

So, at this farewell dinner, the American Emperor and the Austro-Hungarian Emperor talked about a major event with far-reaching impact...... (To be continued......)
