Romanian Eagle

Chapter 107 Summary of the year 1911

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the end of 1911.

After patrolling the army, Edel lived together with his wife, Sophie Marie.

In the middle of it, he also went to Constanta by the way, and cared about the two former maids who had been neglected. This care almost made Eder unable to get out of bed. If it weren't for his good health, he would have been helped back to Bucharest. It seemed that the two maids were very resentful towards him, which made the road for Edel to be co-sleeping a bit bumpy.

At the end of the year, Eder is watching the latest developments in the Italian-Turkish war. Now the situation in Libya makes Italy a little bit difficult to ride a tiger. Moreover, the Italian army's invasion of North Africa aroused opposition from Arab countries. The guerrillas and volunteers of Arab countries such as Tunisia, Algeria, and Egypt fought heroically against the invaders, which caused heavy losses to the Italian army.

Now Italy can only barely defend the cities along the coastline with the increased troops, and there is absolutely no place for them in the vast inland areas.

This greatly increased the cost of war in Italy from 300,000 Italian lire per month to 800,000 lire per month (lire and lei were one to one).

Eder saw the latest Italian intelligence, which made him see the dilemma of the Italian army in North Africa. It is estimated that Italy can only find a breakthrough in other places, and there is no good way in Libya. These local tribal armed groups are all nomads, with a large number of horses and camels, which makes Italy's infantry-based army can only sigh.

Just when Eder checked the Italian predicament. After the captain of the guard Carust knocked on the door, he walked in with a document in his hand.

"His Royal Highness, this is Romania's economic report this year."

"Thanks a lot."

Edel took over the report, thanked his captain of the bodyguard, and began to read it.

In this Romanian economic data, this year's gross domestic product (GDP) reached 5.53 billion lei, an increase of 7.8% from last year's 5.13 billion lei, and a deceleration of 0.2%.

The main reason is that the car share of Volkswagen, the leader in the automobile manufacturing industry, has decreased compared to before. From the previous drop in the European market share from 80% to 76%, it can be seen from this that other countries will not allow Volkswagen to conquer cities in Europe. A lot of capital has been invested in the automobile manufacturing industry. Although Volkswagen has the artifact of the Model T, it is still gradually giving up market share.

However, the reduction in share is not due to the reduction of Volkswagen's production. In fact, his car production reached a new high of 120,000 this year. It's just that cars in the European market have become popular, and that's because cars have begun to enter thousands of households. At present, it is not possible for ordinary families to have one car per household, but one car per twenty households can still be expected.

However, in the deep processing of grain in Romania, the export value is increasing steadily, which is due to the large-scale use of tractors in agriculture. This data shows that the number of tractors in Romania has increased from zero to nearly 20,000 in one year. The machinery factory in Ploiesti has been expanded for a year and is already a large factory with 20,000 employees. Now they can produce 120 tractors a day, which is still in short supply. Both Europe and China need this product that can liberate labor and improve agricultural production efficiency.

It is not that other countries have not thought about imitation, but the time is too short and the technical content is much higher than that of cars, so that tractors in other countries have not appeared yet, so they can only watch Romania eat alone. It should be noted here that the price of tractors sold in Europe has also risen, from £180 to £200 per unit. Now tractors have become another powerful tool for Romanian exports, making other countries the envy of them.

This year Romania's agricultural planting area has increased by 110,000 hectares compared to last year,

reached 6.24 million hectares. This was achieved by a drop of 50,000 in the agricultural population, and Eder was happiest. This shows that Romanian agriculture is gradually changing to mechanization, which shows that his thinking is correct. It is believed that Romanian agricultural mechanization will speed up the process after the outbreak of one station.

However, with the use of various internal combustion engines in Romania, oil exports have declined this year. In the export of refined oil and generic products, Romania exported only 201 million lei this year, which is 12 million lei less than the previous year. This is the result of domestic consumption. Mr. Smith, general manager of PetroRomania, has applied to the Crown Prince to expand the scale of crude oil extraction and increase refining capacity. And Eder has approved his plan to increase Romanian oil production to 2 million tons a year, while refining capacity has also increased to 1.8 million tons.

In terms of imports, Romania is still experiencing an increase in machine imports this year. Now many people in China see the benefits of industrialization, and a large number of people are looking for funds to open related businesses.

You set up a grain deepening processing plant in the grain growing area to produce canned flour, and I will do business in the potash mining area. The industrialization atmosphere in Romania is very good now, which is what Eder would like to see.

According to the latest data, there are more than 80,000 small and medium-sized enterprises in Romania, most of which are hired by relatives and friends. There are only more than 5,000 companies with more than 50 workers, only more than 400 companies with more than 200 workers, only 65 companies with more than 500 workers, only thirteen companies with more than 1,000 workers, and none of them has more than 3,000 workers. .

There are only seven state-owned or royal family enterprises in Romania with tens of thousands of enterprises. Among them, the royal family's enterprises occupy the majority share, which is one of the reasons why the government is suppressed by the royal family. There are far more people who eat from the royal bowl than those who eat from the government bowl, and they all know that they have to listen to the boss's words or they won't be able to eat.

The Romanian Army has also completed training this year, and it is considered a regional hegemon in the Balkans except for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The navy also added new warships. Although it is not as good as Greece, it is not a problem to coerce Bulgaria.

After reading the summary in his hand, Edel thought in his heart that Romania's national strength can be said to be booming now, which is also his confidence in carving up the Ottoman European territories. He manages not to border the Ottoman Empire, but who can ignore his opinion?

Now he is waiting for the Balkan countries to come to the door when they can't stand it, and they turn a blind eye to Romania. They are all people who are leaders of various countries, and they all have this common sense.
