: 0.337s Scan: 0.028sAfter the defeat in Gaul, Romania was in a very difficult situation!
All their hopes on the British Empire and Gaul were bankrupt!
The defeat in Gaul and the British Empire’s retreat back to their homeland meant that they could no longer sit on the fence and wait and see, because the German army was likely to have time to deal with them!
Therefore, after the Battle of Gaul, the reason why European countries were so shocked and lined up to run to Hans’s house was because they realized the seriousness of the matter and felt the danger, so they all wanted to run to Hans as soon as possible to establish good relations and explain clearly, so as not to become the first target of Hans’s attack!
With Hans’s unstoppable momentum now, any country that stands in front of Hans’s million-strong army will have only one result, that is, being crushed!
So after hearing Mainz’s words and feeling the other party’s anger, Prime Minister Windile immediately panicked!
“President, calm down. I think there must be some misunderstanding about this matter. We have issued orders long ago to let the people below implement the transfer of the oil fields to your country, but I don’t know why it has been delayed until now. After I go back, I will personally supervise this matter and give you and your country an explanation!”
Mainz glanced at the other party coldly and snorted,”It’s better to do so. I think you know without me saying it that many people in our country are dissatisfied with you. After all, you were our enemy during the First World War, the running dogs and accomplices of the British Empire and the Gauls. Therefore, whether it is civilians or the military, there have always been people who hope to teach you a lesson to avenge the arrow of the year!”
Wintier’s forehead was covered with cold sweat. He was terrified and restless after hearing Mainz’s words!
Romaniya did side with the Allies during the First World War and attacked Hans together with the Allies. Moreover, they were very dishonest after the war. They once coveted Audili and fought a war with Hans. With such a dark history, they themselves could imagine what kind of impression they would leave in Hans’ mind!
Not to mention that the Hans people don’t like them and hate them, even if the Hans people wanted to declare war on them and destroy their country, this idea would not be surprising!
After the failure of the war with Hans, there were also voices of extreme hatred towards Hans in Romaniya. The disastrous defeat of Hans in the First World War, coupled with the humiliation that followed, was greater than the humiliation of Romaniya, and the hatred in their hearts must be deeper!
“Mr. President, we will definitely give you an explanation this time. We hope that you will not bear grudges and forgive our previous mistakes. We have never had any ill will towards Hans. Hans has always been the country we admire the most and are closest to, as it was in the past and is still the case now!”
Not a single word out of a politician’s mouth is true, not even the punctuation marks can be trusted!
Mainz sneered in his heart when he heard the words of Prime Minister Romani. What this man said sounded good. If you didn’t know the inside story, you might really be deceived by him and think that the relationship between the two countries is very friendly, right?
However, in fact, the relationship between the two countries is very bad. Before the defeat of Gaul, the two countries had always been in a state of hostility. Only after the defeat of Gaul, Romani, who lost its protection, became much more honest!
“I will take your words as the truth, but whether you are the closest country or not is not something that can be determined by just talking, it depends on your actual performance!”
This is blackmail!
Mainz’s words are almost not a hint, but an explicit statement! If the other party wants to gain Hans’ friendship and Hans’s return of not attacking, they must take actual actions!
However, although Hans’s blackmail was so obvious, after this sentence, Prime Minister Romaniya was not only not angry, but happy!
He breathed a sigh of relief, Mainz’s words were equivalent to confirming that the German army would not use force against them.
Of course, if they want to exchange Hans for military action, they must deliver various benefits to Hans according to Hans’s requirements. If there is no delivery of benefits, Hans will turn his face in minutes!
However, while Prime Minister Romaniya was happy, he began to worry again!
Benefits ?
What else can Romaniya have to offer?
He thought about it for a long time, but still couldn’t figure it out.
Romaniya is not a resource-rich country. Except for some oil reserves in the country, other natural resources are very limited. They are just an agricultural country and have nothing to offer.
So, he racked his brains, but couldn’t figure out what Hans wanted!
However, if they don’t know what Hans wants, it will be difficult for them to satisfy Hans.
So, as a last resort, Windtler had to bite the bullet and ask Mainz:”Mr. President, I’m sorry to ask a sudden question. I don’t know what your country wants. It seems that we don’t have anything to offer except oil.……”
This is a bit humble!
Although they are both European countries, there is a world of difference between Western Europe and Eastern Europe!
The main reason for this phenomenon is historical reasons!
There were not many countries in Eastern Europe. The countries in the Balkan Peninsula were all Ottoman territory before. Countries like Romania and Bulgaria were fought by the bears from the hands of the native chickens in one war after another. If it were not for the support of the bear army, they would not be independent at all.
Although these countries are independent, because the Ottomans themselves are very rubbish, they are called the sick man of West Asia. They have almost nothing in their domestic industry. The long-term rule over these countries has led to serious religious problems in these countries, and the domestic wealth has also been looted by the Ottomans, making them almost penniless after independence!
At this time, Western European countries have basically completed industrialization and have seized the market in advance. They have just become independent, have no money and no technology, and cannot compete with Western European countries, so they lag behind everywhere and have never developed as well as Western Europe.
This has not changed even after a hundred years. Eastern Europe has always been behind Western Europe.
Windiller realized this point clearly and admitted it openly. Although it was humble, his frank attitude still won Mainz’s favor!
“Don’t you have 150,000 square kilometers of arable land in your country? You have less than 20 million people, so you don’t need so much arable land. So, you can use 50,000 square kilometers of land to build pastures to provide us with various meat, poultry and other products such as pigs, cattle, sheep and chickens.
By the way, the Black Sea region is rich in fishery resources.
You have a large number of fishing grounds in the Black Sea region.
You can also go to the Black Sea to fish and then export these marine fish to us.
We have more than 100 million people in Hans now.
The people have a very high pursuit of a better life.
This 100 million people have a huge domestic demand market.
I can give you the status of a preferential trade country and reduce your tariffs.
You can help us raise pigs with confidence!
”
Huh?
Raising pigs?
Windiller was stunned when he heard this!
What he wanted was industrialization, not agriculture or ranching!
Asking them to set aside 50,000 square kilometers of precious land to raise pigs and cattle made Windiller feel extremely heavy.
But soon, his heavy mood was thrown aside!
Mainz was right. If Hans now includes the occupied areas, the population has exceeded 100 million. With so many people in the market, how terrible must the demand be!
Even if they don’t develop industry, relying solely on agriculture and animal husbandry, as long as they can maintain exports to Hans, they can also earn a lot of foreign exchange and live a rich life! If you think about it this way, it doesn’t seem bad!
“Thank you for your advice, President. Don’t worry, I will do everything you asked me to do after I go back, and I will never let you down!” Seeing the other party’s grateful look, Mainz smiled.
