Princess Katrina Kaaf also joined the conversation between Emperor Hua and Carol I.Zhao Qingluo, Gege Gege, Yakoterina Klimova and Catherine chatted enthusiastically with the wife of Grand Duke Carol I.Zeng Jize now understands a little, Emperor Hua directly regarded state affairs as a family affair with Archduke Carol I At the beginning of the 2nd century AD, the Roman Empire defeated the local Dacian kingdom and organized this region into a province of the Roman Empire.The vast majority of the Roman Empire was south of the Danube, and almost no provinces were north of the Danube, with Romania probably the only one.This province was very important to the finances of the Roman Empire, as it was home to gold mines.The gold mines attracted a large number of Romans to pan for gold, who brought with them the Latin language of Rome, which washed out the language of the locals, and the Dacians were Thracians, close relatives of the Greeks, so the land on the north bank of the Danube was rapidly Romanized.Romania is rich in minerals, and in addition to being famous for its gold mines, it is also famous for its oil.In the 1930s, Romania was one of the largest oil producers in Europe, and a large amount of oil needed by Nazi Germany in World War II came from Romania, which was its lifeline.After World War II, Romania became a socialist country, built many oil refineries, and many oil-intensive industrial heavy chemical industries.The development of these industries has led to a growing need for Romania to import oil.The oil crisis of the 1970s and the soaring price of oil caused a large trade deficit for Romania, which had to borrow foreign currency to pay for oil imports.At that time, several Eastern European socialist countries had begun to borrow from countries and institutions outside the Soviet bloc, such as Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, etc., and these countries borrowed foreign exchange mainly for Western consumption.Although Romania also has a shortage of consumer goods, it borrows money to import oil.Romanian leader Ceausescu was an outlier in the Eastern Bloc, and his policy in dealing with foreign debt and consumer goods behaved very heterogeneously.In 1979, the United States suddenly raised interest rates by a large margin, and loans in the world capital market became very expensive, and countries that had borrowed foreign debts had to use more and more foreign exchange to pay interest and borrow new debts to repay old debts.In 1982, Romania needed to pay interest on its external debt with about 80 percent of its export earnings, which was unsustainable.The luxurious Pelles Fort in the Carpathian Mountains, the summer residence built by the first king of Romania, Carol I, for himself.Carol was not a Romanian, but a prince of Germany, and his accession to the throne reflected the great power game in the process of Romanian statehood, as well as the "1848 revolution" that swept Europe in the mid-19th century.This revolutionary wave began in France and later spread to many countries, with revolutionaries pursuing the romantic ideals of liberalism and pushing for radical social change.The "48 Fighters" also appeared in the Romanian region, and their struggle also had local characteristics to oppose Turkish rule and achieve national independence.Kusha, a prince of Moldavia, was a brilliant fighter who united the two small Turkish-controlled states of Moldavia and Wallachia through elections from above, and then aggressively pursued land reform and universal education, as well as institutional reforms to strengthen his personal power.His reforms touched the interests of many and were eventually forced to step down and go into exile.He was succeeded by the German prince Carroll, with whom the emperor is now talking and laughing, and this was a decision made after the game of Western countries, which feared the expansion of Russia's power here, and the instability caused by radical reforms could easily "lure the wolf into the house".Germany was already very powerful in Transylvania, and the addition of Carol to the throne could also bring Transylvania into Romania, thereby strengthening the pro-Western element of Romania and making Romania a country that was opposed to Turkey and not close to Russia.The emperor knew that when Carol I was officially established in Romania and Carol was crowned king, his power would reach its peak and last for a long time, and such an alliance would be solid.Between allies, it is not about the short term, but about the long term, and the long term is king.As for the fact that Carol I's reputation among the common people of the Kingdom of Romania is not good, and the emperor does not care about these things, and there is no need to care, it is just a combination of interests, not to marry a wife.After eating, Carol I was very enthusiastic to show the Emperor Hua around his palace.The Château de Pelles is extremely luxurious, with intricately carved wooden walls, beautiful stained glass windows, some rooms in the Italian Renaissance style, some rooms in the style of Louis XIV of France, and even the lavish and gorgeous Ottoman living room.President Moe asks a little question from time to time, although he is not very keen on visiting the palace.When Carroll I introduced the Château de Pelesburg to the Emperor, he showed pride in Fort Peles, as if this luxurious beauty was the pride of the nation.Pelesburg is the private residence of King Carol, and it is a very luxurious summer residence built for himself by the first king of Romania, Carol I.Each wooden wall is intricately carved to exud luxury.The Kingdom of Romania is not yet fully independent from the Ottoman Empire, and Carol has not yet been crowned the first king.But this country, already in the hands of Carol I, with the support of German forces, the eyes of Tsarist Russia, and the remnants of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, this is the current situation of the Kingdom of Romania, which can be said to be very poor.The Emperor believed that such a country would basically never be able to develop, especially in Europe, which was a little bigger, and there was no room for development at all, and it could only become a vassal of the great powers.In 1806, the Ottoman Empire, at the instigation of the French Emperor Napoleon I, launched the Seventh Russo-Turkish War against the Russian Empire.Although the main forces of the Russian army were pinned down in distant Prussia, the "sick man of Europe" in the twilight of the sun was not as good as before, and the Ottoman Empire could not afford to face the simultaneous attack of the Russian Empire on three fronts in the Balkans, the Caucasus and the Black Sea alone.Kutuzov led the Russians to defeat the Ottoman army in numbers and forced it to surrender in 1812, thus ceding part of the vassal state of Moldavia, Bisabilara to Russia in present-day Moldova.As a result, Russian forces entered Romania and hoped to use Bisabiraya as a front-line stronghold, continuing south to control the southern shore of the Ottoman Black Sea and its straits into the Mediterranean.Compared with the Caucasus, the Danube River basin, where Romania is located, is more suitable for Russia on the northern shore of the Black Sea to attack all the way to Constantinople, completely control the Black Sea, and then enter the Mediterranean.As the Ottoman Empire declined, Russia saw it as an opportunity to gain control of the Black Sea, occupy the Balkans, and gain access to the Mediterranean.The expansion of the Russian Empire aroused opposition from Britain and France, which regarded the Near East and the Eastern Mediterranean as their sphere of influence.In Russia's southward march to warm seas, control of Crimea and the Black Sea was crucial.In 1853, Russia declared war on the Ottoman Empire under the pretext of protecting the Orthodox Christians, Britain and France supported the Ottomans against Russia, the Crimean War broke out, and Russia was defeated due to backwardness in technology and transportation.In 1859, in order to counterbalance Russia and prevent it from moving south again, France encouraged the two Ottoman vassal principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia to merge into the United Duchy of Romania, and in 1877, the Kingdom of Romania became independent from the Ottoman vassal states.Although the Romanians succeeded in recovering their country after more than 200 years, this was not the result of their own efforts, but only the product of a compromise between the great powers in the Balkans, and in the eyes of Britain and France, Romania was only a buffer zone between Russia and the Ottomans, delaying Russia's expansion in southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean.The distribution of the Slavs in Europe shows that Romania was not only a place of contention between several great powers, but also between the three major Slavic peoples, and the Romanians considered themselves descendants of the Romans.At this time, due to the long-term stagnation of the development of its suzerainty Ottoman state, and its distance from the center of industrialization and modernization in Western Europe, although Romania had a large amount of food and oil resources, it was weak and unable to recover the remaining Austro-Hungarian rule in Transylvania and Bisabiraya in present-day Moldova and the Russian Empire.In 18591878, with the establishment of the state and the influence of Western European nationalism, Romanian nationalism began to flourish, and the political goal of Romania's modernization and the establishment of a unified Romanian nation-state was gradually established.In Transylvania, a multi-ethnic land under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as Romanians came into contact with other ethnic groups and later the political oppression of Romanians under the rule of the Hungarian aristocracy, Romanian native speakers gradually became more and more ambitious to break away from Austria-Hungary and merge with the independent Kingdom of Romania.It can be seen that a large number of Romanians were still under Austro-Hungarian and Russian rule.However, in Bessarabia, another lost part of Greater Romania, the Russification policy had some effect among the upper classes, and the Romanian landlords were Russified under the influence of the policy of entrapment, and Russia opened up high government posts to them, and although the peasants were little affected, they also cared little about the national question.As a result, the Romanians of Bisa Bilaya as a whole did not have a strong sense of breaking away from Russian rule and returning to Romania.Carol I, who was exactly forty years old, married Elizabeth of Vader in 1869 and gave birth to Princess Maria on 27 September 1870.Four years later, the little princess died tragically, and they had no other children since.Because he was politically pro-German, he was greatly unpopular during the Franco-Prussian War.A revolution in 1871 almost forced him to abdicate.But during the Russo-Turkish War, he regained the support of the people thanks to his outstanding military command skills in the Battle of Plevin.One of the things that Emperor Hua admired about Carol I was that this person was very much like Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Hua liked Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty of Huaguo very much.Like Emperor Chongzhen, Carol I was a very strict man who had been tempered and had very high moral standards.Elizabeth, the wife of Carol I, smiled and said to Princess Catlena Kaf: "The life of the Grand Duke is very regular, every day to get up, sleep, even dress, eat, are all set, never change. ”The hot Princess Katrina Kafu and Catherine covered their mouths and laughed together, Zhao Qingluo, Jiegege, and Lee Tae-hee didn't understand, and after Princess Katrina Kafu translated, they all smiled slightly.A person who has reached the highest level of the country, lives like a soldier in a military camp, this is an act that the emperor requires himself, but can never do.Huahuang can go to bed early, but he can't get up early on time, not only because of Huahuang's age, in fact, Huahuang is not young now, 9 years old, but he still often goes to bed late and gets up late.Everyone talked and laughed, and before they knew it, it was time for Carol I to sleep, and the emperor returned happy.Carol I personally sent the Emperor Hua to the gate of the palace: "Tomorrow I invite Your Majesty to visit the factories in Bucharest, as well as our naval fleet." ”Emperor Hua Khan, said in his heart that your Kingdom of Romania has just a little coastline, what kind of name can you make
