Chapter 3

　　Edel discussed the details of the list with Prime Minister Bernhard. The capitalists who got the news outside the palace are like sharks smelling blood, ready to share this delicious cake. The most significant of them were taken by Mauser, Krupp, and Fabien, and the rest were divided up by others.

After more than ten days of signing negotiations, the military part of the money was finally spent 120 million marks to build a Mauser 98 rifle with an annual output of 100,000, 1,000 G08 heavy machine guns, 150 105 light howitzers, and 50 Five 150 heavy howitzers, 24 210 cannons, 50 million rounds of 7.92 rifle rounds, 50 million rounds of machine gun rounds, and 60,000 tons of various explosives and shells are a large-scale comprehensive arsenal. The plan is to be fully put into use in three years.

　　 The chemical industry spent 60 million yuan to build dye plants, sulfuric acid plants and pharmaceutical plants. The main task is to build a large potash fertilizer plant and develop Romanian potash mines in depth. And it has a very good role in promoting the increase of agricultural output, and it is planned to be completed in three years.

　　 Other internal combustion engines, locomotives, steam turbines, munitions from a division of a power plant, etc., add up to 70 million marks.

The news of Germany's large-scale payment to Romania quickly spread throughout Europe, and countries expressed anxiety about Germany's win over Romania. The British Times wrote that the Kaiser's payment once again showed that the European order destroyer was always looking for allies. Once the power of the Three Emperors Alliance surpasses the Franco-Russian Alliance too much, war will come. Britain should play a sufficient role in it. The French president and his staff are discussing the possibility of an alliance between Deloitte, and it is the consensus of France and the top to get Russia to turn its attention back to Europe as soon as possible.

　　 Vienna Franz Joseph I and the minister discussed the impact of this matter on Austria-Hungary. "If Romania pulls into our common alliance, it will break Russia's land-based connection with the Balkans from the land, and it will be a heavy blow to Russia's influence in the Balkans."

　　"The empire's actions in Bosnia and Herzegovina should also be accelerated," Franz Joseph I said with a decision.

　　 Although the war against Japan continues. Nicholas II also discussed the influence of Germany on Romania's payment with his ministers.

"Romania cannot be allowed to be taken away by Germany, otherwise our European borders will be extended by one third, and the army will have to expand. The most important thing is that the influence of the empire in the Balkans will be greatly reduced, which is quite detrimental to us." Military representative Jilin Skye expressed his opinion. "I want to expand the army? The treasury has already asked for money, and even the current Manchurian war is almost impossible to sustain." The Minister of Finance heard the military's army expansion remarks. "Let France join us to put pressure on Romania. Now the Huang Manchu plan must be successful, so that these Japanese monkeys will know the strength of Russia. After the war, the troops will be transferred to Bessarabia. I believe this will make the Romanians sober."

After purchasing the equipment and materials from Germany, Edel told General Pretzel, "The general heard that Denmark produced a 9KG Madsen machine gun. I hope you can check it out. If the reliability is good, I would like to platoon. Add some equipment to the first level."

　　 "As you wish, Your Royal Highness, I will reflect this weapon truthfully." As a soldier, General Preeshan will not refuse any increase in the strength of the army.

　　 "How about the cooperation with the German military." The additional condition of the payment is to send students to the German military academy to study. Germany sent staff to help Romania rectify the bloated army and optimize the command structure. Edel knew well that Germany wanted to facilitate the command of the Romanian army in wartime. But it's not Germany that has the final say if it is not on board.

"Basically, we have settled. Every year we send 300 students to Germany to study, including 100 for the one-year system, 150 for the three-year system, and 50 for the five-year system. The German Staff will send a 57-member advisory group, Guliss General Ta is the head of the regiment. Will go back with us."

　　 The advisory team met with Edel four days later. "Captain Gulista is going to trouble you this time."

　　 "His Royal Highness, we will fully understand the problems of your country's army and give reasonable suggestions." Gullista said to Edel earnestly.

　　 "This is Lieutenant Colonel Ludendorff, deputy head of the regiment, a very talented colleague. He used to work in the General Staff."

　　 Edel paused, watching Gulista point to a middle-aged man who was about forty years old next to him, thinking that he was really talented.

　　 Edel and Ludendorff shook hands and thought.

　　 "Welcome your Excellency to Romania, come to me if you have any difficulties."

　　 "Thank your Royal Highness, we will complete the work seriously to satisfy His Highness." In 1894, he entered the General Staff Headquarters and was greatly appreciated by Schlieffen and participated in the revisions of the Schlieffen plan. Last year, he was transferred to the second place responsible for training and mobilization, which was greatly appreciated by the Kaiser. For such a promising person, UU reading www.uukanshu. com can see the German Emperor's eagerness to win Romania.

　　 At the beginning of June, Edel and his team returned to Bucharest. Prime Minister Sturley greeted Edel and his party after arranging the departure of the German advisory group.

"His Royal Highness, because the French and Russian ambassadors have come to ask us whether we have signed an agreement with Germany, and are deeply disturbed by our too close relationship with Germany, the United Kingdom also expresses deep concern." The Prime Minister was a little disturbed talking about the recent situation to the crown prince.

"Prime Minister, please rest assured, this is just a loan. We have not signed any alliance agreement with Germany." Edel said insincerely. This is because King Carol had previously told Edel that they had signed a defensive agreement with Austria-Hungary. treaty. The secret of this treaty is not known to the Congress and the Prime Minister, only Edel told him before he went to Germany. In this very favorable treaty for Romania, if Russia declares war on Romania, Austria-Hungary and Germany will declare war on Russia. And Austria-Hungary and Germany declared war on Russia, so Romania can decide for itself whether to declare war on Russia.

　　 Go back to the palace and see Carol I. "It's a good job Edel." The old king praised Edel.

"This is inseparable from your father's support." Edel said modestly. For this large loan, Edel mainly relies on the memory of his previous life. For a small country, it is definitely difficult to borrow money at a time. This share, but if you can borrow money and spend it locally, then this money is much easier to borrow. It just so happens that Germany has the military, chemical, internal combustion engine and other equipment and technology that Romania needs.

　　 "Edel, go see your mother, she has read it in my ear many times during your absence."

　　 "I'm going to see her now" Edel walked out of the room little to his father.
