After returning to the Liberal Party headquarters, a group of senior officials discussed with Prime Minister Bretianu. There is no reason to discuss it, and we can only act according to the circumstances and see if the crown prince will make any move. The reason for this result is that everyone has long been warned about the crown prince taking over power. It was already obvious in the performance of the king before, but I didn't expect that even the power to approve the cabinet was given to the crown prince. Now, we only need to send what was sent to the king for instructions to the crown prince, and the rest will remain as usual.

After negotiating with a group of high-level officials to no avail, Prime Minister Bretianu and his cousin Wentile came out. After boarding the carriage, Wentiller whispered to his cousin. They said they would like to visit tomorrow night.

Okay, I'll wait for them at home.

Prime Minister Bretianu knew that his cousin was talking about the ambassadors of Britain, France and Russia. For them now, it is a diplomatic victory to be able to make Romania lean towards neutrality. Because they know that Germany's economic and military penetration into Romania is too high, and they can't pull it back in the short term. (By 1910 Germany had invested £36.7 million in Romania, mainly in manufacturing and mining.)

Sure enough, the news of the crown prince's approval of the cabinet list reached everyone's ears after their discussion. However, the high-level officials of all parties have been psychologically prepared for this, and they still do what they should do. Only the lower classes are talking about it.

The next day, Prime Minister Bretianu returned home in the evening to wait for the visit of the three ambassadors after finishing the work of the government. At nearly 7 o'clock, the three ambassadors came, and his cousin Wendy Le went out to greet him.

Seeing the three ambassadors after entering the door, Prime Minister Bretianu stood up and spoke to the three ambassadors respectively. Hello, Ambassador Richard Mann. Welcome to the humble house.

Richard Mann is Britain's new ambassador, replacing Lister, who had made no progress in Romania.

Congratulations to Mr. Bretianu for taking up the post of Prime Minister. Under the leadership of His Excellency, Romania will surely become more prosperous. Ambassador Richard Mann said to Prime Minister Bretianu.

Thank you, Mr. Ambassador, for your concern for Romania.

After Bretianu finished speaking, he continued to greet the French ambassador Jean Bard and the Russian ambassador Firalovsky respectively.

Then everyone sat down in the living room, and after the servant brought tea, Prime Minister Bretianu opened the topic first. Mr. three ambassadors, what do you think of Romania?

The three ambassadors sitting across from them were still the first to speak from the British Ambassador Richard Man. Your Excellency Prime Minister, Romania has achieved good results in recent years. Many of your products have good sales in Europe. To tell you the truth, before I came to Romania as an ambassador, I drove a Volkswagen.

Hearing what Ambassador Richardman said, everyone smiled kindly. Having said that, if Romania had not developed very well in the past few years, and there was a good-looking army, if it was still the same as it was five years ago, it is estimated that they would not pay so much attention to Romania. After all, it is now the No. 1 power in the Balkans (except Austria-Hungary), and it is also worthy of the Allies to win over.

Thanks to Ambassador Richardman for his love for Romanian products. In recent years, Romania has achieved the current results under the leadership of the old Prime Minister Stulier, which is the result of the help of friends from all walks of life. Bretianu politely Speaking of. Everyone understands the role of the crown prince in the economy, but it is impossible to say this to the outside world. After all, the government is the main body of management in the country.

His Excellency the Prime Minister is absolutely right. Romania needs help from friends from all walks of life. It's just that Romania seems to have been out of balance in its diplomacy in recent years, which is not good for the country. Russian Ambassador Feralowski offered his opinion.

Mr. Feralowski, you are too impatient. Every country has its own ill-considerations. We must trust Prime Minister Bretianu's vision. And Romania naturally has its own considerations.

Don't be too critical of other countries.

The French ambassador Jean Budd advised the Russian ambassador Firalovsky not to be too hasty, and the French ambassador did not blush when he said this.

Firalovsky stood up and bowed his head to apologize before everyone could react. I'm sorry Prime Minister, I was too impatient.

Bretianu also stood up to support the Russian ambassador and said with a smile. It doesn't matter, after all, Mr. Ambassador is also considering us.

Immediately in the living room, a scene of a good-neighborly, friendly and harmonious society was staged. In fact, Prime Minister Bretianu knew that the ambassadors of Russia and France were playing double reeds, but it just happened that Romania needed to show goodwill to the three countries and devote itself to the role it should play. In fact Romania placed half of its army on the Russian border, and Russia tried to overthrow the Romanian government a few years ago. A few years ago, I wished for the other party to die, but now they look like guests, this is politics.

The British ambassador Richard Mann said after the Russian ambassador and Prime Minister Bretianu had performed the good-neighborly friendship. His Excellency Bretianu, although what Ambassador Filalowski said is a bit unpleasant, it is also his sincerity. Romania's current diplomatic form is indeed not good.

Faced with the words of British ambassador Richard Mann, Bretianu replied. Ambassador Richard Mann, our close relationship with Germany is mainly caused by their investment in Romania. As we all know, our economy was relatively poor in the past, with a single output and mainly relied on the export of agricultural products. With the help of Germany's loan six years ago, our country was able to From a single exporter of agricultural products to a country that is now initially industrialized. Why can't our people be grateful to Germany for such help?

After hearing this, the ambassadors of the three countries knew that this was Prime Minister Bretianu saying that Germany had given a loan, so he was close to Germany. And Britain, France, and Russia did not give them any benefit, and could only treat them coldly. The ambassadors of the three countries understand the understanding, but the work to win over Romania still needs to be done.

The British ambassador Richard Mann and the French ambassador let Budd look at each other, knowing that Romania would not be biased towards neutrality without paying a little bit of money.

It was still Ambassador Richardman who spoke first. Our country is also saddened by Romania's economic backwardness, especially the poor medical and sanitary conditions, which will lead to unhealthy people. Our country intends to provide assistance to Romania's medical equipment.

After the British ambassador finished speaking, it was the turn of the French ambassador Jean Bard. In fact, France had a good influence on Romania before, and many Romanians had studied in France before. For example, the current Minister of Industry, Lakatuli, and the Chief of the General Staff, Prieshan, have all studied in France. Now some nobles still like to send their children to study in France. But at the national level, France's influence is much worse, worse than Austria-Hungary and Germany, and only a little better than Russia. This is all the effect of the alliance with Russia. Now it is still for Russia. The French intend to ease the pressure on their allies.

Then I heard Ambassador Jean Bard speak. I will try to apply for a batch of low-interest loans domestically to help Romania develop its own economy.

After speaking, the two ambassadors, Budd and Richardman, took a look at the Russian ambassador Firalovsky. The Russian ambassador had to bite the bullet and say his conditions. I will ask the country to reduce the price of coal, iron and iron ore imported from Romania.

After hearing Firalovsky's conditions, the three of them all sighed in their hearts, It's really stingy. But thinking about the current economic situation in Russia, it is indeed embarrassing for Russia to take money. Now Mao Xiong is relying on French loans to survive, and the domestic economy is not very good. It is normal to rectify the economy, expand the military and prepare for war, and it is normal to have no money.

I am very grateful to the three ambassadors for their concern for Romania. I believe that our relationship will get better and better in the future. Prime Minister Bretianu also said some friendly words looking forward to the future. He would not take it lightly when he did not see assistance. gives the result.

The three ambassadors did not expect any immediate promise from Prime Minister Bretianu. This time, they mainly wanted Romania to feel the goodwill of the three countries. After chatting for a while, the three ambassadors left with satisfaction with today's harvest.

After sending off the three ambassadors, Bretianu asked his confidants to send a note with the conditions of the three kingdoms into the palace. To change such a big thing in diplomatic relations, he would not dare to make a private decision without the approval of the royal family.

Edel looked at the note written by Prime Minister Bretianu in his hand, which he had already read. Unexpectedly, Romania only gave a signal, and these Allied horses came to the door. However, this is also in line with their own needs, but I don't know how much benefit I can get from them. Thinking of this, Edel wrote a receipt agreeing to continue talking, and called a guard to let him deliver it to the Prime Minister.

It didn't take long for Prime Minister Bretianu to get a receipt from the guard, which stated that he agreed to continue talking.

After obtaining the consent of the crown prince, Prime Minister Bretianu negotiated with the three ambassadors, who also had the government's consent. After a friendly conversation, the two sides reached an agreement.

On March 4, 1911, the two sides unanimously announced the news about the loan of the three countries to Romania. Among them, France will provide Romania with a low-interest loan of 2 million pounds for ten years, and the United Kingdom will provide a loan of 1 million pounds for the purchase of medical equipment. Doctors will also be sent to train Romania's backward medical technology. Russia reduced its customs duties by five points on coal and iron ore imported from Romania, but only on imports in 1910, and the excess will be levied in accordance with the original customs duties.

Faced with the terms signed by Romania, Britain, France and Russia, I don't know what Germany's attitude is.
