Romanian Eagle

The next day, Edel woke up feeling refreshed, and said to the two maids who covered their heads on the bed. "You were exhausted last night, you should rest more." Last night, Edel and the two maids fought hand-to-hand until late at night before subduing them. Fortunately, Edel relied on her youth to get up in good health, but she was very considerate to the first Edel of the two maids. After Edel left, the two maids showed their heads and smiled at each other, both blushing shyly.

In the next few days, Edel had completely lived a life of sexual happiness. He tried all kinds of tricks and postures, and the two maids became more and more bright. But with Ludendorff reporting Edel got busy too.

"His Royal Highness, this is the report of our advisory group after the inspection." Ludendorff, the head of the military advisory group, handed over the report. Why is Ludendorff the head of the group? At that time, because Edel sent a telegram to Germany, to Ludendorf Dolph is very satisfied. I hope he can help him reorganize the Romanian army, so our poor and unknown Captain Gulista was transferred back, and Ludendorff took over and gave him a first-class rank casually. Now a colonel, he wrote this report with great care after his inspection.

Edel was looking at the report thinking about the problem, more serious than he thought. The military command system was bloated, and the techniques and tactics of senior officers remained in the Franco-Prussian War. The military is underpaid. The situation of stealing and selling materials in the army is very serious, and the tactics of the lower-level commanders are rigid. It seems that the whole army will be reorganized. Ander thought. However, this requires the support of the king, which cannot be accomplished by itself.

In the afternoon, Eder handed Ludendorff's report to Carol I. The old king looked at the report and asked Eder, "What are you going to do?" "The problem of the army is too serious, it should be abolished when it should be abolished, and it must be cleaned up. Assholes, increase army salaries, all officers are organized to study in batches, they can't keep up with the arrangement of the times to retire, and our army is too bloated, there are nearly 30,000 people in a division, we can learn from Germany. First, we will train the guard divisions and then the whole country. A major reorganization of the army. Only in this way can we gain our own interests in the increasingly tense situation in Europe." Eder said ambitiously.

"Go for it, this kingdom needs you to inherit in the future. But you must remember Edel, the army must be in your own hands." Carol I said to Edel with a serious face. "Father, I will, the kingdom will never fall in my hands." Edel assured the old King Carol.

After Edel left, Carol I called the court administrator Adri to instruct him. "Let everyone in the army obey Edel's orders." "Okay, Your Majesty." It seemed that the era of Crown Prince Eder was coming, Adri thought to himself, and walked out after saluting the old king.

In the next few days, Eder, Prieshan, and Ludendorff discussed the formation of the army, and finally made a formation based on Romania's actual situation.

First of all, there are 10 infantry squads, including a squad leader and a deputy squad leader, who are served by corporal and senior soldiers, all with Mauser 98 rifles. Four infantry squads form a platoon plus a deputy platoon leader. The second lieutenant is the platoon leader, and the deputy platoon leader is a sergeant or sergeant. There are 42 people in total, all of which are riflemen. Four infantry platoons form a company plus 10 cooking squads, three Madsen light machine guns form a fire squad of 11 people, a communications team 4 people, plus 2 commanders and deputy commanders and 2 orderlies, the commander and deputy company commander consists of Lieutenant or captain served, a total of 197 people. Four companies form a battalion, a fire platoon equipped with three Maxim heavy machine guns, plus a guard squad of 10, 2 chaplains, 6 cooking squads, and a 6-person communications squad. in charge. The battalion staff was served by a captain, with a total of 847 people. The three battalions form a regiment, plus the 3,158 officers and deputy commanders of other affiliated troops in the regiment have the rank of colonel or lieutenant colonel, and the chief of staff has the rank of major. The two regiments form a brigade, which is either a colonel or a major general. The two brigades form a division plus an artillery regiment. The artillery regiment consists of four battalions, two battalions of 18-caliber 75-caliber field artillery, a battalion of 18 75-caliber mountain artillery, and a battalion of 12 105-caliber light howitzers.

In addition to a logistics transportation regiment, engineer regiment (nine company system), military police, field hospital, cavalry reconnaissance battalion, communication office, etc., the total division is about 16,000 people. The major general serves as the division commander, and the division has 68 artillery pieces.

In the case of the same number of Romanian and German divisions in this establishment, the front-line soldiers were nearly a thousand fewer than Germany's, and they were all strengthened to logistics and sappers, which was strongly requested by the crown prince. According to Ludendorff's calculations, the Romanian division was 10 percent more expensive than the German division, which was still 4 105 guns less than the German one. Although looking at the enhanced version of the German division, Ludendorff's heart is complicated. Although he has his own efforts, it is not his own motherland after all. Ludendorff is also skeptical about whether Romania can be fully adapted.

Edel doesn't know the complicated heart of Ludendorff. He now wants to show the reorganization plan to the old king. Only with the consent of the old king Carroll can the plan become a reality, rather than put it on the shelf, although the old king agreed before. His reorganization of the army, because the cost of this reorganization is too high. Edel couldn't get the government to agree, only the old king had this prestige.

Carol I sat in his chair and looked at the report in front of him and pondered deeply. Chief Adrie stood motionless like an invisible man. Edel stood opposite the old king, waiting for Carol I to decide on the plan. . The only sound in the room was the sound of the clock moving. After a long time, with the sigh of the old king, the room became popular again.

"Does Edel have to follow this plan?" The old king asked reluctantly, "Father, this is the best way to fight for the interests of the family and the country." Edel insisted. "I will ask the Prime Minister to come over to discuss it, and he will agree." After Carol I said this, he seemed to be drained of strength and felt a little dazed in front of him. The manager Adrie next to him saw it and hurriedly prepared to come over to support the old king, but was stopped by the old king. "Adri, you go out first." The manager nodded and walked out.

The father and son were the only ones left in the room, "Edel, you grew up and have your own ideas, I can understand. I saw your bet in this plan, a bet on the situation in Europe, are you sure you want to bet?" Carroll I is old but still has a sharp mind, and he can see the point at once.

"Yes father. I know this is a gamble. You have to believe that your son will be on the winning side." Edel said firmly. Carol I felt in his heart that the child had grown up, and he was not listening to his sudden sadness.

Prime Minister Sturley was summoned into Peresh Palace the next day, and no one knew what the king and Prime Minister had talked about. Later, in the face of the huge military reorganization cost of up to 20 million pounds, the Prime Minister quickly signed his name. Facing triple pressure from the king, the prime minister and the military in parliament, he quickly succumbed. The plan took five years to reorganize two divisions each year, and three divisions in the final year. The plan changed the active duty 11 Romanian divisions (one guard division) to 16 German reinforcement divisions (two guard divisions).
