Romanian Eagle

While Crown Prince Eder was waiting for the olive branch of the two countries, Serbia was actually talking about the possibility of bringing Romania into the alliance.

This discussion was initiated by King Peter I of Serbia, and was attended by Crown Prince Alexander, Prime Minister Protic, Chief of General Staff Putnik, and Foreign Minister Milanovic.

Milanovic was the first to speak his mind as foreign minister. Your Majesty, my colleagues, I personally think it is a good idea to bring Romania into the alliance to deal with Bulgaria together. Now Romania is the strongest country in our Balkan countries except for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and their borders are very long. Part of it is the border with Bulgaria. If he joins the alliance we can encircle Bulgaria on three sides and leave them alone.

Hearing the words of Foreign Minister Milanovic, King Peter I of Serbia and Prime Minister Protic nodded secretly. Chief of General Staff Putnick felt that he needed to add something and said it. Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I think there is a situation to consider.

Seeing that in this Balkan war, Admiral Putnik, the hero of Serbia, had something to say, the king motioned him to continue.

After getting the king's approval, Admiral Putnick continued. Romania started preparing the army in 1905 and invested no less than 20 million pounds in their army of 260,000. It is very terrible.

Hearing Admiral Putnick's words, everyone from the king to the foreign minister was very surprised. You must know that a state-of-the-art super-dreadnought battleship now costs less than 400 pounds, while Romania's army investment can reach five. A super dreadnought. On the same scale, Romania is the top three in Europe in terms of investment in the army.

Prime Minister asked. So according to the meaning of the chief of staff?

Hearing Prime Minister Protic's inquiry, Admiral Putnick said decisively. We don't win over Romania. If we are drawn over by Bulgaria, we and Greece will definitely not be able to beat Paul's coalition.

Hearing such affirmative words from the Chief of General Staff, Crown Prince Alexander asked the Prime Minister. Your Excellency Protic, why have we not invited Romania?

In the face of the crown prince's question, Prime Minister Protic said with a wry smile. His Royal Highness, Bulgaria gave 4,000 square kilometers of territory in order to pull Romania into the alliance, and Romania has not sent troops. If we pull Romania into the alliance, I estimate the price will be not small. And Russia has already expressed its willingness to support our Territorial claim, did not expect Bulgaria to find support from Austria-Hungary and Germany.”

In the final analysis, the Prime Minister is a little reluctant, and there is also a credit for the Russian ambassador to Serbia Hartwig. During his time in Serbia, the Russian ambassador showed more love for Serbia than the Serbs. During his tenure as ambassador, he vigorously advocated Greater Serbia,

It is advocated that Serbia should form a larger Serbian state with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro. He also contributed to the establishment of the Balkan Alliance, and now he fully supports Serbia in the face of disputes with Bulgaria. According to his words. The most important thing for Russia in the Balkans is to integrate the Slavs into one country.

Obviously the country he was talking about was Serbia. Faced with the possible cost of an alliance with Romania, he believes that with the support of Russia, the two countries can make Bulgaria see the truth. And Prime Minister Protic was clearly influenced by him before.

Seeing the appearance of Prime Minister Protic, King Peter I spoke slowly. I think it's better to get in touch first. After all, we're making random guesses here, so let's get to know them first.

After seeing the words of King Peter I, the chief of staff of the prime minister and others all answered.

As your majesty.

Afterwards, several important officials left the palace. Peter I couldn't help coughing again after seeing everyone left. Crown Prince Alexander stepped forward and patted his father's back lightly.

Peter I said to his crown prince. Okay Alexander, it's all old, I don't have any other problems.

But father, I can't help worrying about you now. Crown Prince Alexander said with concern.

King Peter I looked at his son and said. Alexander, I intend to hand Serbia to you next year.

Crown Prince Alexander said in shock. Father, can I do it, and you can still work normally. Isn't it good now?

Seeing his son's expression, Peter I encouraged him. You have to believe in yourself, don't you see the Romanian Crown Prince Eder next door is just as good. And he is a few years younger than you, you have to have confidence in yourself.

Hearing his father compare himself to Edel in Romania, Alexander is really Alexander. Eder's achievements in Romania in the past few years are obvious to all. Whether he can do it in the future is still a question.

Soon Serbia sent a telegram requesting the alliance through the ambassador to Romania.

Now this telegram is in Edel's hands. Looking at the crown prince holding the telegram in deep thought, Foreign Minister Barnosque asked. Your Highness, what do you think of this telegram?

Hearing Foreign Minister Barnosk's question, Edel put down the telegram in his hand and said. Send a telegram to Serbia, and ask them to take a significant person if they want to talk. There is no way to negotiate in the telegram.

Okay, Your Highness.

Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosque sent Eder's message to Serbia.

Serbian Prime Minister Protic received a telegram from Romania and began to think. It seems that Romania does not resist the alliance, it seems that there is still talk. Thinking of this, he took the telegram and rushed to the palace, and told the news to King Peter I.

Peter I asked. Prime Minister, who do you mean to shoot?

Prime Minister Protic named a surprising candidate. Your Majesty, I plan to go to Romania to talk to them in person.

Hearing the Prime Minister's surprising decision, Peter I asked in surprise. Do you really have to go?

Yes, Your Majesty. Prime Minister Protic replied first, and then explained why he had to go by himself. When I go to negotiate with other people in Romania, I need to consult the country for many things, which is not good for negotiations. If I go to many things, I can make a decision first, and I also want to see the development of Romania in the past few years, and by the way, touch their bottom.

After hearing the Prime Minister's words, Peter I thought for a moment and said. That's fine, so do you need any preparations?

In the face of the king's question, Prime Minister Protic replied. I plan to visit in secret this time, so I don't need to bring many people, just a few staff members.

After visiting King Peter I, Prime Minister Protic explained his work problems, and took a few staff members to take a regular train to Romania.
