My Italian - Chapter 600
A war broke out between the two camps, which was a sensation for the whole world.
In North America, the news of the outbreak of war in Europe was published on the front pages of major newspapers. In addition to the headlines on the front page, the newspapers also set up many comment sections, where various experts evaluate the odds of the two parties, as well as their advantages and so on.
The same is true in East Asia, and the news of the outbreak of war in Europe is also flooding the major newspapers, and it is also the front page headlines.
All over the world, news of a war breaking out in Europe is the treatment of front-page headlines. And in addition to this, governments and people of various countries are talking about the war that broke out in Europe. It seems that if you don’t talk about it, you’re even more out of step with the times.
This shows the position of Europe in the world. And since the age of great voyages, Europe has been the center of the world, and now it has reached its peak.
Also affected by the news of the outbreak of war in Europe, the prices of commodities in the world also rose in response, with a general increase of 10%. This is still the outbreak of the war, and the increase is not large.
However, for other European countries that did not participate in the war, this is also a big increase.
Of course, for the rest of Europe, neutrality is the best way to deal with this war. After all, a few powerful countries can mobilize millions of people into the war every minute, which is more than the population of many countries.
Anyone who wants to be an ant stepped on by an elephant fight, everyone wants to stay far away.
But unfortunately, sometimes you can’t hide if you want, such as Romania.
Romania is the second largest grain producer in Europe and the third largest oil exporter in Europe. Now that the internal combustion engine is driven by Italy, the importance of oil is also revealed.
In addition, Romania’s own population of nearly 10 million is also the country with the largest population besides the participating countries and Spain. In addition, Romania’s location is also very important, bordering Russia to the east, Austria-Hungary to the north, and Serbia to the west. It can be said that whoever pulls Romania into its own camp will have an advantage in the strategy of the Eastern Front.
Since Romania is so important, it naturally makes the participating countries very tempted. Therefore, in the past few days, the ambassadors of the participating countries have contacted the Romanian government one after another, trying to influence the country’s diplomatic trend.
In the process of winning over Romania, the Allies occupied a huge advantage.
First of all, the Romanian royal family comes from the Hohenzollern family (Swabian family) and the Hohenzollern family (Franconian family) who ruled Germany, and they are from the same source.
It is precisely because of the close relationship between the two families that the Romanian royal family has a good relationship with the German royal family.
In addition, Austria-Hungary’s influence on Romania is not weak, because after Romania’s independence and the stalemate with Russia, Germany and Austria provided it with a secret security guarantee.
This guarantee is very interesting. When Russia launched a war against Romania, Germany and Austria were obliged to protect Romania’s sovereignty. When Russia attacked Germany and Austria, Romania did not take any responsibility.
Such a selfless dedication agreement, as long as any country is willing, and also expressed that it can accept a dozen.
In fact, it was Deau’s selfless dedication, but in order to block Russia’s land penetration into the Balkans, Deau was willing to let Romania receive this benefit.
Of course, this secret guarantee also made the Romanian people feel good about both countries. Of course, Deao is not able to occupy absolute influence in Romania. Because the Romanian upper class is more close to France, they basically go to France to study and have a great impression of France.
Maybe someone here will ask, what about Russia? Why didn’t Russia, Romania’s neighbor, say anything?
Sorry, Russia has very little influence in Romania. It can even be said that after independence from Romania, the biggest requirement of national defense is to guard against Russians.
Being so feared by others, one can imagine what image Russia has in the minds of various countries.
Since Romania has such weight, and the alliance camp still has such great influence in the country, why not pursue the victory and pull Romania into its own chariot?
Therefore, the Allied countries have made unremitting efforts to sell various benefits to them.
“Prince Ferdinand, as long as your country can join our camp, then after this war is won, the Bessarabia region that your country has never forgotten will return to your country’s arms. In addition, in order to help your country improve its strength, as long as your country agrees Join, then 100,000 rifles, 1,500 machine guns, more than 600 cannons, and the corresponding 30,000 tons of ammunition, we can send it to your country at any time. And our three countries are also willing to sponsor your country 100 million Lei (lira) financial aid…”
In the palace, the Italian ambassador, Vangelis, was talking to the Romanian Crown Prince Ferdinand about the benefits of joining the Allies.
In the mouth of the ambassador, Romania’s joining the Allied camp is simply beneficial and not harmful.
As for why he was looking for the Crown Prince Ferdinand, it was not because he married Carol’s sister, but because his monarch Carol I was ill and could not govern, and state affairs were handed over to his heir, his nephew Ferdy Southern Crown Prince.
“Ambassador Vangelis, thank you for your country’s attention to our Romania, but participation in this war is of great importance, and it must be done after careful deliberation. So please wait patiently, Your Excellency Ambassador.”
Facing the Italian ambassador in front of him, Crown Prince Ferdinand said something to reconsider. Even ordinary people can hear his perfunctory attitude, but who made Ambassador Vangelis a person in the diplomatic field, of course, will not show it.
“Okay, Your Highness, I hope your country will discuss the results as soon as possible, then I will leave.”
After sending away the Italian ambassador in front of him, the Crown Prince Ferdinand was also relieved. In the past few days, ambassadors from various countries have come to visit, but Romania has no strength to refuse the visits of these ambassadors. So he spent days doing Tai Chi with these ambassadors, refusing to let Romania join the war.
Although Romania’s size is good, it needs to see who it is compared with, and participating in the wars of various powers, Romania’s small body can’t stand it. Although Romania also wants to get the areas of Bessarabia and Transinia promised by both sides, but now is not the time, let’s wait and see.
Romania wants to wait and see, and next-door neighbor Bulgaria wants to wait and see. However, compared with Romania’s idea of not seeking merit but not fault, Bulgaria is more of a mentality of seeking wealth and danger. Bulgaria wants to bet on the winner’s side for its own benefit.

Speaking of which, the Balkan Wars have greatly damaged Bulgaria’s vitality. Not to mention that it did not get the desired territory from the Turks, but instead lost most of the Macedonia area in its own hands. This move greatly increased the strength of the traitor Greece and the sneak attack Serbia, and also plunged Bulgaria into turmoil for a long time.
That’s right, losing territory after losing the war has caused turmoil in Bulgaria, and various organizations such as ultra-nationalists, populists, anarchists, etc. have developed vigorously in Bulgaria.
These people have made Bulgaria smoky and confused the minds of the Bulgarian people.
Although the government and the military and police have spent a lot of effort to suppress this organization, everyone knows that if the resentment in the hearts of Bulgarians cannot be released, it will cause serious problems.
So for this war, while the Bulgarians were secretly happy, they also thought about how to see the right time to start.
Of course, if you want to start, you must look at the trend of the war, and the most interesting thing at present is the battle between Germany and Italy and France.
