When Germany signed the armistice agreement, everyone cheered for the end of the war.

Soldiers from both sides left the trenches one after another to bid farewell to their previous opponents. They will leave this hellish environment, put on clean clothes, eat delicious food, and then sleep beautifully on the soft bed. Don't worry about shell attacks, don't worry about enemy sneak attacks.

People in Germany are also thinking about a peaceful life in the future. When the war is over, the current shortage of supplies will also be alleviated. Soon they will be able to get supplies from all over the world, and they will no longer be dominated by hunger and severe cold. The predicament of shortage of supplies in the past few years will also be improved, and everything is a good start.

It's just that in the last few days, there were no German ports that foreign civilian ships sailed into, and no trains for daily necessities arrived on land. Faced with the doubts of the German people, the answer given by the Allies was that they would not release the blockade until the German army was disarmed.

Faced with the reply from the Allies, the naive German soldiers and civilians believed it, and they handed over a huge amount of arms and supplies to the Allies.

Under the **** of the Allied Powers, the heavily-built German naval ships were driven to Scarpa Bay. In order to disarm these German warships, which were regarded as confidant, the Allied Powers ordered that all the guns of its warships have been dismantled, the number of sailors was restricted to a minimum, and the fuel carried could hardly allow the fleet to sail away from the surrounding Orkney Islands. Waters.

However, after disarming the German army, the Allied Powers still did not let go of the blockade against Germany. And this time their rhetoric is that they must wait until Germany agrees to the compensation clause. As for the amount of compensation for Germany’s invasion of other countries, data is still being collected.

Faced with the rhetoric of the Allies, the German people now have absolutely no way of opposing it. After being disarmed, Germany is like a lamb to be slaughtered and can only wait for a while. The government can wait, but the people can't wait any longer. Years of war not only caused many casualties to German soldiers and civilians, but also domestic production was reduced to a minimum, especially agricultural production.

Because too many people are invested in war-related departments, the German grain production is also decreasing year by year, especially this year, it has been reduced to 68% before the war. More importantly, Germany's original production of grain is not enough to be the point where it needs to be imported.

The continued wars have prevented them from importing food and other daily necessities from other countries. Facing the unwillingness of the countries that cannot treat the treaty to unwilling to lift the blockade, the German people can only wait in torment, hoping that the review of the compensation will be completed as soon as possible.

However, the food shortage caused by Germany this time has allowed a person to see an opportunity.

In the Royal Palace in Bucharest, Edel was very interested in the current extreme food shortage in Germany. To this end, he also specifically asked the intelligence department to collect the current level of food shortages in various parts of Germany.

"Your Majesty, the current food shortage situation in all parts of Germany is very serious. In Stuttgart, the German people can only get 300 grams of subsistence food per day. In Munich, people in this area can get 310 grams of food per day. As for Berlin Here, its daily food can get a ration of 350 grams. Our investigation found that the food gap between the west and the east cities in Germany is gradually widening. Compared with the food shortage in the west, the east is much better. The main reason is that the east Poland and the former Russian territories have been partially supplemented. However, with the signing of the armistice agreement, the gap between the east and the west will gradually decrease."

After Edel listened carefully to the intelligence surveyed by the Chief Guard, it seemed that the German people's current life was really difficult. Then it’s time to show the German people the hand of friendship from Romania. In Edel’s view, a warm and selfless help will reap endless gratitude when the German people are caught in hunger and cold. This will help change Romania’s The image in the hearts of the German people.

Think about it, when you were too hungry, the previous enemy gave yourself a piece of food, and then said: "Sorry, I had no choice but to beat you with them before. I have no choice. This food hopes to relieve you. pain of."

Faced with him holding life-saving food and sincerely apologizing, there is a lot of resentment left in your heart against him. Next, I will accompany you for a while, caring about your condition, and then hesitate to ask him warmly. It is estimated that you will immediately regard him as a true friend. Of course, it is not so simple between countries, but the ideas are the same, but there are some differences in approach.

So after learning about the current food shortage in Germany, Edel immediately called the Prime Minister to discuss. After all, the government still needs to mobilize supplies for this matter, and it cannot do it arbitrarily. It is good to discuss it and listen to the Prime Minister's opinion.

After bringing in Prime Minister Bretianu, who was busy with his feet on the ground, Edel told him his intentions.

After listening to Edel's words, Prime Minister Bretianu frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this is a bit difficult."

Hearing the prime minister’s difficult words, Edel smiled and said: "Are you worried about the attitude of the United States, Britain, and France?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that his monarch understood the relationship, Prime Minister Bretianu also let go and said: "It is obvious that this incident was initiated and organized by the Three Kingdoms. If we break the blockade against Germany first, I am afraid it will be annoying. The attitude of the United States, Britain and France towards us has changed drastically."

Regarding the Prime Minister’s concern, Edel first nodded and admitted: "You are right, this will indeed cause the Three Kingdoms to be unhappy."

After acknowledging one sentence, Edel's conversation turned: "But we are not trying to completely solve the German famine problem, and the current food storage in our country is far from reaching that point."

At the end, Edel gave a number that he considered: "200,000 tons of food. In the name of the Hohenzollern family where I was born, I will help the German people. I also pay for the expenses, so that the German people feel that they come from Romania. bona fide."

"but……"

"Okay, Prime Minister."

Seeing that Prime Minister Bretianu wanted to persuade himself, Edel interrupted and said: "Expressing goodwill to Germany is good for us Romania. Moreover, it is impossible for the Allies to change their treatment to us because of this. That’s how it’s settled."

In the face of Edel, who was strongly determined, Prime Minister Bretianu could only answer: "Okay, Your Majesty. But this gift can only be done once."

Seeing that he was forced to agree to some unwillingness to the Prime Minister, Edel knew he needed to be appeased. "Prime Minister, please rest assured, this is only a special case and there will be no next time. I can guarantee this."

Prime Minister Bretianu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Edel's assurance. My own monarch is too strong and opinionated. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for the kingdom.

After the two chatted for a few more words, Prime Minister Bretianu was about to leave, but at this time Edel remembered something and stopped him loudly: "Prime Minister, wait a minute."

Bretianu turned around and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what else is there?"

"How are you preparing for this Paris Peace Conference?"

The Paris Peace Conference that Edel asked about was a meeting where the Allies negotiated to demand compensation from the Allies. As one of the countries participating in the war, Romania certainly has the right to participate. And in order to get the victory that Romania deserves, Prime Minister Bretianu certainly did not dare to relax, and he had delineated candidates early to prepare for the peace meeting.

"Almost everything has been prepared, this time the team will be led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and I."

"That's good."

After hearing the prime minister's answer, Edel waved to indicate that he had understood.

After sending the Prime Minister away, preparations for the donation of food to Germany were quick. In fact, the needed food can be obtained from the king's territory. On the fifth day after discussing with the Prime Minister, Edel publicly announced the news.

On the German side, it is also very welcome for the King of Romania to donate food to the people. Albert, who had just taken over as the head of the coalition government, also publicly praised the Romanian monarch's righteous deeds during his busy schedule, calling him a noble and compassionate saint.

Albert's words made Edel's face blush. Listen to the saint, if he donates more times, he will be the spokesperson of God in the world. However, he knew that the president of the future Weimar government just wanted to express his goodwill to the Allied powers through him, but it was also good for him.

Among the German people, there is also a lot of praise for the Romanian monarch who gave donations in the suffering of everyone, and even the image of Romania in their eyes is a lot better.

One voice came out, saying that Romania did not want to fight with Germany, but in order to regain the Transylvania area occupied by Austria-Hungary, it had to be forced to join the war. And Romania is already very grateful to Germany, because most of their achievements are built with the help of Germany. In their minds, Romania has always been a German student, and it is the kind with very good grades.

This kind of remark makes the people who are currently depressed feel much better. No one wants their country to fall into a second-rate status, especially since they were still in the top class before.

These remarks gradually dispersed and spread to a corporal from Austria: "It seems that these Romanians are not bad in nature."

In a blink of an eye, he thought of the current sufferings of his beloved empire~lightnovelpub.net~, holding back his anger and said: "These **** Jewish capitalists have destroyed the empire, and they should all go to hell."

Regarding the issue of Romania providing food aid to Germany, there was also a small wave within the Allied Powers. However, the Romanian government telegraphed that this is just a little relief from the king to the current suffering of the German people, and only this time, and the small waves about this have also subsided.

Two hundred thousand tons of food seems to be enough, but for the German people, it is only enough for the whole country to eat for three days, which is not a big problem. And judging from the performance of the Romanian army in the war, this is not a big problem.

In this way, Edel's donation of food to the German people passed away. Edel and Romania gained a good reputation, while the German people got benefits.

As for now, Edel has also withdrawn his gaze on Germany. Many domestic affairs in Romania need his attention. However, he is most concerned about the upcoming Paris Peace Conference, which is the topic that Romania is most concerned about.

Everyone is extremely concerned and excited about harvesting trophies, and no one can avoid it.
