Inside the palace, Edel sat in a chair carefully reviewing the negotiated contract terms. In front of him stood the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs who were in charge of negotiations. This contract had passed the parliamentary review, and the king had to sign it. Even though he had read the copy before, Edel carefully reviewed the terms of the contract. It's not that he doesn't trust the two, but that he is responsible for his work.

After reading it, Edel put down the contract and said to the two of them: "Thanks for your hard work, I am very satisfied with this negotiation."

Faced with the king’s gratitude, the two replied in unison: “It’s not hard work, it’s all for the benefit of the Kingdom of Romania. The main reason is that the Ukrainians recognize the huge power gap with the Kingdom so that the contract can be negotiated.”

Hearing their polite answers, Edel picked up the brush and signed the name on the lower right corner of the contract. Now that the contract is signed, it can take effect.

Then he handed it to the Prime Minister, and when the Prime Minister received the text of the contract, he said: "This time the peace talks will take a lot of energy, so you can rest for two days."

Faced with the king’s concern, Prime Minister Bretianu who took the text said with a wry smile: “After walking for so long, the documents that the government is waiting for me to process have been piled up to more than two feet high. Now there is no time to rest. Next time. Right."

Faced with the Prime Minister’s concerns about government affairs, Edel couldn’t help but say: “Well, after the war is over, I will give you a vacation. It’s good to take care of your body, and your gray hair has grown a lot. It's tired."

Seeing the king caring about his gray hair, Prime Minister Bretianu couldn't answer this, so he shrugged and smiled awkwardly.

The Prime Minister could not rest because of work, but Barnosk, the Foreign Secretary, was moved.

"Thank your Majesty for your concern. Don't say, my old bones really need a rest after nearly a month of tossing."

Facing the foreign minister's gag, Edel smiled and said: "It's okay, but I can't tire my foreign secretary. You will be needed for major negotiation tasks next."

Neither of them were dumb people. They knew that the next most important thing was, of course, the meeting to divide the spoils after the war. At that time, a dozen or twenty countries, large and small, will compete for their own interests from the allies. This will not be an easy job at that time.

Now that Germany is struggling to support it, everyone knows that its failure is in sight.

After sending the two away, Edel was about to visit the General Staff. By the way, I went to Admiral Preysan to talk about the post-war army. I just walked to the door unexpectedly and almost collided with someone.

After Edel saw the person in front of him clearly, he asked curiously: "Carust, what's wrong with you today, so anxious?"

After the captain of the guard saw that Edel was in front of him, he gasped and said to the king: "Your Majesty, we have just received the news that a sailor rebellion has occurred in Kiel, Germany. This is a telegram."

Carust's shocking words immediately opened Edel's dusty memories. The Kiel Marine rebellion, the surrender of Germany, the Treaty of Versailles.

Edel did not receive the telegram, but pulled the chief guard and said, "Let's go in and talk."

After pulling his captain of the bodyguard into the room, Edel took the telegram and looked at it. The Kiel Marine Uprising was an important sign event of Germany's defeat. Before that, he was worried about whether he would let this event disappear because of his own disturbance, but it still seems to have happened. I just don't know how this incident is different from my previous life.

According to intelligence, the cause of the Kiel Marine Uprising was the same as that of the previous life. It was caused by ordering the High Seas Fleet to fight. In June and July, in order to prevent the German army from transferring reinforcements to the attacked zone, the Allies moved from Verdun to On the Atlantic coastline, the entire front line with a width of 400 kilometers launched a full-scale attack.

As the German army had been fighting for four years and was exhausted and unable to withstand such a massive offensive, the front line steadily advanced to the German-French frontier before the war. In this battle, the Allies captured a total of 190,000 German prisoners of war.

The decline in resistance and the increase in the number of captured Germans in this offensive shocked the top. In order to boost the morale of the army, Ludendorff, Hindenburg and others thought of a way to get the navy to attack.

Therefore, on August 23, the Naval Command ordered the German High Seas Fleet in Kiel Harbour to go to sea to fight with the British army, and if it fails, it will "sink honorably". In an attempt to get the High Seas Fleet to pass a decisive battle, to inspire the currently low morale of the German army.

However, the fleet officers and soldiers who were abandoned are extremely angry at the command of the Navy Command. No one wants to be sacrificed, and there is still no hope in sight. Therefore, with the connivance of high-level officers of the fleet, on August 27, nearly 80,000 sailors stepped off the battleship and swarmed the streets of Kiel City to hold demonstrations.

The actions of the sailors quickly received an enthusiastic response from the workers. Under the leadership of the sailors, the demonstration quickly developed into an armed uprising. And it quickly occupied strategic locations. At the same time, Soviets of Workers’ Deputies and Soldiers’ Deputies were also established in Kiel.

In order to make the uprising a success, the Kiel workers held a city-wide general strike on September 5 to support the sailors' uprising.

When the German government got the news of the sailors' uprising, it was shocked. Six infantry companies were immediately sent from the field to suppress it. But what the German government didn't expect was that four of them turned the other way around and joined the ranks of the insurgents. Soon, the city of Kiel was under the control of the Soviets of Engineers and Soldiers' Deputies.

The news of the uprising of the Kiel sailors immediately spread to the world via telegram. As the head of Romania's intelligence department, Carust also found Edel and informed the news.

After reading the telegram, Edel walked back and forth in the room, thinking about the impact of this incident on Romania. This incident will make Germany surrender quickly ~www.readwn.com~ However, there are still many things in Romania that have not yet ended during this period. For example, the Hungarian cleaning work in the occupied area, the referendum in the East Moldavia region, and how the Poles in the Galician region should solve it. Whether to discuss with the future Polish government, let them pick it up or not, you need to make your own decisions.

Carust looked at Edel, who was constantly walking and thinking about problems, and he didn't dare to get out of the air.

Edel, who had been wandering all the time, finally stopped. He told Carust before him: "Now I send people to pay close attention to the situation in Germany. I want to know their movements at any time. In addition, I will send a report to General Salamik. Let him speed up the cleaning work. Also, let the Prime Minister speed up the referendum in Eastern Moldavia. I will see them join the Kingdom of Romania within a month.”

Facing Edel several consecutive orders, Carust took it down quickly.

"Your Majesty, I will do it now."

"Go ahead."

After sending off the captain of the guard, Edel thought inwardly. It seems that this war is coming to an end, so the next step is to ensure Romania’s interests.
