Romanian Eagle

The 489th chapter Europe 3 axis (5)

Negotiations between Italy and Germany accelerated after Mussolini's instructions.

On the one hand, Mussolini hoped to negotiate the accession work as soon as possible, and on the other hand, Germany was willing to give better conditions. The acceleration of both parties was caused by Edel's words, that is, they both believed that Romania wanted to solve the Greek problem and expand Romania's territory in the Love Sea.

So isn't it?

This is not easy to say.

Of course, in addition to the negotiations of the German-Italian alliance, the negotiations between Italy and Italy are also going on. However, it was only tentative contact between the two parties at the beginning, and the real negotiations began after the German-Italian alliance was signed.

However, unlike the German-Italian negotiation, the negotiation between the two countries relies more on the two leaders to reach it.

In a room provided by the German side in Nymphenburg Palace, the negotiations between the two sides officially began. Negotiations for an alliance this time were small but heavy.

The Romanian side is led by Edel and the Foreign Minister Costel, and the Italian side is Mussolini and his son-in-law Ciano. The whole negotiation will start among these four people.

Our two countries have always maintained cooperative relations in the Mediterranean Sea and the Balkans, and the two countries have frequent exchanges because of this. At the same time, they have also achieved fruitful results, such as in warships, radar, communications, etc.

Eder took the lead in speaking about the relationship between the two countries, and everyone present knew that this was also the beginning of the negotiations.

Facing Edel's words, Mussolini took it. His Majesty Eder is right, the cooperation between Romania and Italy has indeed yielded fruitful results, and we have not only achieved results in science and technology, but also have close cooperation in military, energy, economic and other fields. But I think that in Diplomacy Our cooperation benefits the two countries the most, and only when the two countries join forces can we only ensure the interests of both of us in the Mediterranean and its surrounding areas.

Eder knew that Mussolini would talk about this, but he was prepared for it. Seeing his gesture, Foreign Minister Costel took out a map of the Mediterranean and spread it on the table.

Seeing the Romanian side's actions, Mussolini and Ciano both had a strange look in their eyes. The Romanian side is too direct, is it ready to discuss the division of interests between the two countries as soon as they enter the negotiation?

Shouldn't everyone talk about other things first, and then slowly get to the point?

Eder did not care about the difference between the two, because only he knew that Romania could not afford to delay. Only after the alliance between the two countries has been negotiated can Romania be better prepared for the coming world war. Romania is running out of time. After Germany got better external conditions, the ghost knows when they will start an attack on Poland and start the war. And Romania must achieve the best conditions for all parties before that.

Edel immediately pointed to the map and said. Our country has already negotiated with Germany that, with the exception of Slovenia, Germany will no longer intervene in the affairs of the Balkans.

Mussolini was immediately surprised by what Eder said.

If Germany is excluded from the Balkans, the interests of the region will be decided by Romania and Italy. Although there are also Britain and France, Italy and Romania can also compete with them.

And Edel looked at Mussolini and continued. My country's idea is to expel the British and French forces from the Balkans. Among them, our country will take the lead, give priority to provoking a conflict with Greece, and attack it along the Thrace line, attracting the Greek army to our line. Italy was behind Albania on the front line, and went straight to the back to encircle it on the frontier. Then it went all the way to Athens and ended the war with Greece.

After Edel finished talking about the battle against Greece, Ciano spoke immediately. Will we not trigger the British and French to intervene?

Without waiting for Edel to answer, Costel said. We will choose to do it when Germany makes a move against Poland, and we won't be the first to do it before.

Costel's words are obviously to take advantage of Germany,

However, this matter can not be said to be used, it can be regarded as mutual benefit. And while Hitler wished Germany was dealing with Poland, Romania and Italy stirred up trouble elsewhere to distract Britain and France.

However, Ciano was not too satisfied with Costel's words, and I saw him continue to speak. But our country is not ready for war, and there are not enough reserves for many materials at present.

What he said is also true. At present, Italy is not ready for the imminent war. All kinds of reserve materials are in short supply, and the prices of various materials are soaring. The international market for military-related strategic materials has doubled, and other raw materials have also risen by 50%. Of course, the panic buying from Romania is also one of the main forces causing the price increase.

As for Ciano's words, Edel said directly. As for the issue of insufficient reserves, my country and Germany can coordinate some of them for you. In addition, in response to the current situation of insufficient armaments in Italy, Romania can also mobilize a part to replenish Italy first.

Obviously, for Italy's lack of preparation, Eder intends to have some supplies from Romania and Germany.

Is the Edel spirit Italian having a seizure?

What are you thinking, Edel gave up even when the motherland in her previous life said she would give up, and would do her best to help Italy?

Everything Eder did was for Romania's consideration, and strived to maximize the interests.

Eder's real idea is to pull Italy into the water ahead of time, even if he gives a batch of aid. Can't be like the previous life, Italy has to wait until France is almost defeated before ending.

And Eder, like Hitler, valued the Italian naval power. In future operations, Eder intends to use the Italian Navy to contain the French fleet, and then the Romanian Navy will smash the British Mediterranean fleet, laying a good foundation for Romania to attack Egypt and seize Suez.

In the previous life, it was because the time was too late that the German-Italian coalition did not receive enough support. After Barbarossa starts. Rommel could not get enough tanks and soldiers from Germany, and there was not enough material to replenish, and was expelled from Egypt by the British reinforcements who arrived later.

Eder clearly did not intend to give Britain a chance to breathe. He planned to start military operations immediately as long as the British Mediterranean Fleet was crippled, without giving Britain a chance to breathe, taking advantage of the predicament of Britain and France facing the enemy, to give priority to the capture of Suez. As long as Suez strikes, the United Kingdom will immediately feel as if it has been pinched seven inches, and will no longer be able to pose a threat to Romania.
