Romanian Eagle

Chapter 516 Germany joins the League of Nations

Although there was a break in diplomacy, and even made a move against Romania in terms of trade import and export, in the end, the shares of Italian company remained unchanged.

Because Romania exports less to Britain and France, it cannot be made to feel distressed, at best it can only be regarded as suffering minor losses.

At present, Romania's exports are mainly to Italy and Spain in southern Europe, Germany in central Europe, Poland in eastern Europe, and neighboring countries in the Balkans. For Anglo-French exports it is only a small share, and to put it bluntly, Romanian products are inferior to their own. As for the Far East and the Americas, the share is not large.

Speaking of the Far East, Edel's new friend sent him a telegram. I hope to hire a retired general from Romania as my personal consultant to help him in the military (historically, he was a German lieutenant colonel, but now he is friends with Eder, so he naturally starts from acquaintances).

In the face of this Far East request to meet new friends, Edel naturally could not refuse. Not to mention that the Far East has a large enough market, various strategic resources alone cannot make Eder ignore the requirements of future leaders in the region.

So Eder recruited the chief of the general staff, Admiral Freiette, and asked for a suitable candidate.

"I don't know, Your Majesty, what are your requirements for this?"

Fleet had no reason to disagree about sending a retired general to serve as a personal military adviser. He also has some understanding of the current situation in the Far East. This can be regarded as the top leader of the organization, helping his industry to expand Romania's influence in the region.

And as far as he knows, the military industry in the Far East is poor and weak, and the demand for ordnance in this region is extremely large. Romania also produces German weapons that the region likes. In the future, selling weapons can also help the country's military industry.

Therefore, Admiral Freiit naturally agreed with this, and the only request was to ask King Eder what requirements he had for the generals he sent, so that he could send retired generals according to the requirements. Because the generals also have different focuses on their abilities, some have a deep understanding of campaign command, some are proficient in scattered attacks by small units, and there are generals who are known for training soldiers and managing logistics. It all depends on what general Edel thinks is appropriate to send.

After thinking about the habits of this Far Eastern friend, Edel said. "Being proficient in strategy and tactics, and able to give answers to military questions based on national conditions, and also need to handle interpersonal relationships well, even if the plan is rejected, he can quickly come up with a new plan."

Eder's words made Feleit's mouth dry. This is where he chooses a personal adviser, but a chief of staff. So he couldn't help but say. "Your Majesty, according to your request, only I and Marshal Pulieshan are suitable candidates."

Listening to the words of the chief of staff, Edel realized that his demands were too high. However, he sincerely hopes to enhance the military strength of the motherland in later generations, so that it can retain more strength in the future catastrophe. Although he knows that this party has many problems, the suffering people are innocent.

"Then there are enough generals who are proficient in strategy and tactics and have good interpersonal relationships."

Eder lowered his requirements, and he attached great importance to the interpersonal relationship. Doing it well will not only expand Romania's influence, but it will also benefit the country (like the future General Von Seeckert, and vice versa, General Stilwell).

This time, Eder lowered his requirements, which made it easier for Feleit. He was making a choice in his mind. First of all, the rank should not be too high, so as not to attract too much attention, those generals and lieutenants can be excluded. Then you need to look for major generals, and it is really hard to find major generals who meet Edel's requirements and who have to retire from active service.

Suddenly he thought of it, and a person's name flashed quickly in his mind, the former eighteen division commander Major General Moderke. The major general had fought in the Balkan Wars and World War I before, and he performed well. Originally, there was still hope for a promotion, but later he retired from active duty due to physical reasons.

And then under the careful convalescence of the family. recovered.

When did Admiral Freiit plan to call him back into the army, but now he needs the general as a personal advisor, and that's him.

"Major General Moderke, the former commander of the Eighteenth Division, meets His Majesty's requirements."

Edel seemed to have some impressions in the face of the name mentioned by Feleit.

"Then it was decided that it was him."

Major General Modelk, who was full of returning to the army, was sent to the Far East like this.

After sending Fereit away, the captain of the guard, Horiya, hurried in with a telegram.

"Your Majesty, urgent telegram from Geneva."

Eder took a look at the telegram and saw that the League of Nations had just made a resolution that Germany was allowed to join the League of Nations.

Perhaps people in the future will scoff at this international alliance. Because after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Japan used to wipe its ass when the League of Nations made unfavorable resolutions.

This needs to be explained, because Britain and France have limited military intervention capabilities in the Far East, and the relationship between Nanjing and Britain and France was not too friendly at that time, and Britain and France were greatly damaged by the world economic crisis. Didn't I see that the Italian leader had to wait until the 1930s to do something in Ethiopia? At present, Britain and France, which dominate the League of Nations, are more powerful in Europe, so joining the League of Nations is also the most critical step for Germany to emerge from the status of a defeated country and become a normal country.

But this step is not good at all. In 1920, Switzerland and Argentina first proposed to let Germany join the League of Nations at the first meeting of the League of Nations, but it was rejected by France.

The reason is that the League of Nations was established on the premise that the whole of Europe paid a huge price, and Germany, as a defeated country, could not become a member of the League of Nations. Moreover, the diplomatic structure at that time was very unfavorable for Germany, and the resistance of Germany to join the League of Nations was beyond imagination.

The situation was relieved by the establishment of diplomatic relations between Germany and the Soviet Union on the eve of the Genoa Conference. Because Britain and France discovered that not allowing Germany to join would pull it into the arms of the Soviets. At this time, except for France, other countries' attitudes towards Germany's joining the League of Nations changed.

When the Ruhr crisis broke out, France suffered heavy diplomatic losses, and Germany received a large number of sympathetic voices in its diplomacy. This gave Germany an excellent environment for joining the League of Nations. However, the obstruction from France still cannot be ignored.

Finally, in 1926, in order to cooperate with the smooth implementation of the Dawes plan, the League of Nations made a decision to let Germany join.

In the final analysis, Britain and France want to use the carrot of returning Germany to become a normal country, so that Germany can continue to pay the reparations. However, Germany, which will gradually regain its strength in the future, will allow Britain and France to steal chickens without losing money. And the reason for all this, in the final analysis, is its money trouble.
