Prime Minister Bretianu returned to the Prime Minister's Office after consulting with Eder.

Prime Minister Bretianu, who returned to the Prime Minister's Office, did not rush to open the document bag that the king gave him, but concentrated on dealing with many affairs of the government. Because he knew that if he read the document bag that the king gave him, he would probably be full of negotiation, and he would not be able to do the government work this afternoon, so it was not too late to go home and read.

After a busy afternoon of government work, Prime Minister Bretianu returned home in his car. After receiving greetings from his family, Prime Minister Bretianu returned to the study, and after instructing not to disturb others, he opened the light blue file bag.

In the negotiating conditions carefully prepared by Eder, the Allies were given a boundary along the Tisza River, extending to the Eastern Carpathian Mountains, and southeastern Galicia (Lviv, Ivano, Chernovtsi, as well as the southwest corner of Ternopol and the southwest corner of Khmelnitsky) are also included. According to Prime Minister Bretianu's estimate, this is a territory larger than Romania, but I don't know how the Entente will react to it.

Of course, this is the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Eder knows that the Russian Provisional Government cannot agree to this condition, but he is also preparing for the future. As long as the Soviet Russia and Germany sign the "Brest Peace Treaty", then Britain and France will ask Romania to sign this condition.

In addition to territorial conditions, Eder also prepared political and military conditions. Among them, the first political article, signing a peace treaty with the Allies, must ensure that Romania gets the territory it deserves in the terms of the terms. If there is access to the Allies, it cannot sign a peace treaty with the Allies. This is Edel's guarantee that the Entente will write down words in the future, and it is also the basis for obtaining normality for new territories in the future.

Article 2: When deciding on a peace treaty, the five countries of Great Britain, France, Russia, the United States, and Italy have equal status with Romania, and have no superiority or inferiority. This was also what Eder had prepared carefully in order to improve Romania's position in the war. Otherwise, in the future Paris Peace Conference, Romania is likely to be assigned the same second- and third-rate status as the Republic of China at that time. This is very unfavorable for improving Romania's political and military status, and it is also something Eder tries to avoid.

In terms of military conditions, Edel intends to use the Allied forces relying on the port of Paralia. He planned to attack Romania while the Allied forces, which were still facing off against the Bulgarian army, could launch an attack to contain Bulgaria's return.

Here is a little more about the situation of Greece. After the Entente forcibly landed in the Greek port city of Paralia, Prime Minister Venizelos strongly advocated that Greece join the Entente to gain benefits. But it was always opposed by King Constantine, who advocated maintaining neutrality. And the king, in order to be neutral, also dismissed the Prime Minister Venizelos.

So in 1916, the former prime minister went to Paralia to set up a new government, completely ignoring the neutrality principle of Athens, so two governments appeared in Greece. After the time entered 1917, Britain and France decided to increase their control over Greece.

So in May of this year, there was a lot of remarks in Greece, accusing King Constantine of maintaining neutrality because he received a private gift from his relative Kaiser Wilhelm II. These remarks were inadvertently expanded and spread throughout Greece. In the face of the public's remarks, King Constantine knew that this was forcing himself to step down, and the mastermind behind it must be the Entente Group.

However, in the face of such accusations, Constantine knew that this was the coercion of Britain and France. If he continued to prevent Greece from joining the war, then it is estimated that the popular riots would not be far away. You must know that Greece has always been deeply controlled by the United Kingdom. Now it is even less capable of breaking away from the control of the Entente. This can be seen from the landing of the Allies in the port of Paralia, where the Greek army does not fire a single shot.

According to information obtained by Edel, I heard that the king is planning to abdicate and let his son inherit the throne. However, what is the specific situation, which requires further information.

Prime Minister Bretianu is watching,

After Eder gave himself the Romanian final conditions, he burned it in a brazier.

Looking at the documents that burned to ashes, Prime Minister Bretianu sighed, and the conditions the king gave him were difficult. It is difficult for the Allies to agree to these contents, especially Russia will never agree to Romania's acquisition of Galician territory. Now we can only slowly continue to talk with the Entente countries, and I hope that the Entente countries will not be very angry when they see it.

After the ambassadors of the three Entente countries received the terms of Romania's participation in the war issued by the prime minister, they all looked at each other in dismay, especially the Russian ambassador Firalovsky showed great anger. Because of Romania's request, he did not care about Russia's attitude at all, which made Ambassador Firalovsky very embarrassed.

Even Russia, which was hanged up and beaten by Germany and Austria after the revolution, is not something that Romania can humiliate like this. That's right. That's the word on Ambassador Firalovsky's mind right now.

In front of the British and French ambassadors, Ambassador Firalovsky couldn't help roaring. "Damn Romanians, do they still have Russia in their eyes?"

In the face of the anger of the Russian ambassador, the British and French ambassadors looked at each other, and finally the French ambassador Franck, who succeeded Jean Budd, told him. "Your Excellency Firalovsky, calm down and don't be so angry. We are also dissatisfied with Romania's conditions, but the most important thing for us is to send Romania's conditions back to China."

The French ambassador's words calmed Ferralovsky's mood a little, and the British ambassador, Franlee, who succeeded Richard Mann, also spoke up. "These Romanian people are so rude. We've been talking with them for about a year, and we still insist on our own terms. Now it's better to add more terms. I really don't know why the government is so used to these Romanian people."

Facing the speech of the British and French ambassadors to help him, Ambassador Firalovsky observed that it did not seem like a fake, and it seemed that Britain and France were still on the side of Russia. So he said smoothly. "These Romanians are too procrastinated, they don't do things at all, and they have too much appetite. I think we can mention our government to suppress the arrogance of the Romanians."

If the Russian ambassador tried, he was immediately dismissed by the British ambassador Frankly. "I think it is serious to send Romania's conditions back to China first. In response to Romania's measures, I believe the government will give us instructions."

"I agree too."

Seeing that the British and French ambassadors did not make any suggestions, Ambassador Firalovsky had no choice but to give a speech. "Then I'll send a telegram back to the embassy first, goodbye."

"goodbye."

Ambassador Firalovsky looked at the inactive French ambassador and had to leave first. It seems that the Russian Revolution, combined with this fiasco, has in every way slid it down from the Big Three.

After seeing the Russian ambassador leave, the British ambassador Frankly spoke to Frank. "London sent a telegram asking me to increase my wooing of Romania."

Ambassador Frank, who understood what Ambassador Frankley meant, replied. "Paris sent me the same telegram."

It seems that Britain and France are also worried about the chaos in Russia, but as long as Russia is willing to continue fighting, I believe that Romania is only a backup option for Britain and France. Then it all depends on the development of the political situation in Russia, but the situation in Russia is a bit bad at the moment.
