Romanian Eagle

Chapter 226 National Education (1)

The news of the battle of life and death between the German and French troops in Verdun was immediately passed to Edel. Facing this battle, Edel only knew that it was the most casualty battle in World War I, and the rest were almost forgotten.

However, the decisive battle between Germany and France now has also eased the pressure on Romania from the side. Not everyone can calmly face all their neighbors joining the war, and they are as stable as Mount Tai.

At least stationed in Bulgaria, the German 11th Army, led by Marshal Mackensen, is not expected to stay long. When the German army was not seriously injured, Eder did not want to face the world's strongest army now. This is not in Romania's interest, and certainly not in his interest.

Edel put down Verdun's intelligence and took out a domestic news. This is a report on the statistics of Romanian students in school sent by the Ministry of Education, and Eder is looking at it carefully.

Edel, a young man of the new century who was born in New China and grew up in Hongqi, is of course no stranger to education. I still have some memories of my past life's education.

The current situation in Romania has certain similarities with the motherland in the past life, so some methods in the past life can also provide some reference for Romania. What Idel is thinking about now is to use education to improve the quality of Romanian nationals and prepare for the future.

Eder, who has lived in Romania for more than 20 years, has a deep understanding of the characteristics of the Romanian people.

Because of Romania's fertile land, the Romanian people are not very good. From the rule of the earliest Roman Empire, to the Avars, the Slavs, the Cumans, the Tatars, and finally the Ottomans. Throughout the recorded history of Romania, the Romanians have been ruled by various ethnic groups. This makes Eder, who has the memory of the later life, a little helpless. In the textbooks of the previous life, the few times when he was ruled by other ethnic groups has always been a history of humiliation.

If you look at Romanian history books, it is all about the history of all kinds of oppression, which makes Eder feel that it has become urgent to reform Romania's habits. In fact, Romania has been doing it in recent years, but they are more in the direction of nationalism. But nationalism is a double-edged sword. If it is not mastered properly, it will turn into populism, which can easily hurt oneself.

So Eder has always believed that a new direction is needed, but fortunately there is a ready-made reference target, that is, the way to reunify Germany. Some people may say that the motherland of future generations is also doing well in this regard. Edel actually considered it, but in the end he gave up the idea. Because Romania does not have a tight-knit political group that works from the top and bottom, the method of learning from the motherland of the previous life is too taken for granted.

As we all know, from the early to the middle of the 19th century, Germany became a major European power until Prussia unified Germany in the loosely divided Central Europe.

Among them, continuous investment in education is the key to Germany's strength, and Eder also intends to take this path.

However, unlike Germany, Romania has more pressure to rise. Now the development of science and technology has made the gap between European countries wider and wider. It is as strong as Germany, which can face Britain and France alone in a two-front battle, and can spare one hand to fight Russia. A weak country can only survive by relying on a strong country.

Edel, who is Chinese at heart, can't stand it, and his own destiny is in the hands of others. Therefore, he needs to lead Romania to the negotiating table of the powers to have his own seat, rather than waiting for the ruling of the powers.

Then increasing investment in education will also be the main means. Of course, controlling the orientation of public opinion is equally important, and Eder will not relax either.

Now Romania has 951,600 students and 15,700 teachers. The number of students has reached 10.5% of the population, and the number of students taught by each teacher has also dropped to 60.6. It was much better than Romania in the previous life, but it still fell short of Edel's expectations.

You must know that Germany, which is famous for its emphasis on education, with its population of 65 million, has reached a terrifying number of 11.67 million students in the country. This would mean that 17.95% of the total population of students in school, basically covering all the German education-age population. Every German is educated, which allows Germans to compete with other countries in every way.

That's what Edel's education will look like, but his goals will be bolder. He intends to take advantage of Romania's current economic situation to launch nine-year compulsory education. This is not Edel's inflated desire to win the world's number one education-focused country, but the result of his deliberation.

To transform the characteristics of a nation requires long-term investment, changes in social cognition, and the guidance of public opinion. And this kind of investment can only be guided slowly, it will take decades, and now Romania can't wait for decades,

In Eder's mind, World War II was the last chance for Romania's rise. If this opportunity is missed, unless Romania has a territory of 9.6 million square kilometers, a population of more than one billion, and a political party with super organizational skills. Only by continuing to move forward in accordance with the established goals can we achieve breakthroughs in the social pattern fixed after World War II. Romania does not have all of these, so World War II will also be the last chance.

At the same time, highly educated citizens can outperform uneducated people in whatever field of work they will be engaged in, including the military. That's where Edel thinks it's key. Although Romania now has a standing army of 400,000 strong troops, it has been trained for decades.

You must know that the Romanian recruit training reaches 15 weeks, which is longer than the recruit training time of the various powers. From this aspect, it can be said that the Romanian army attaches great importance to training, but is this not a last resort because the quality of civilian resources is not as good as that of other powers?

You must know that according to the investigation of the Romanian military, the effect of German recruit training for 12 weeks is stronger than that of Romanian recruit training for 15 weeks. No matter from the technical and tactical understanding, or the understanding of military orders, they are the goals that Romanian recruits cannot surpass. This is the convenience brought by high-quality citizens, and it is also the temptation that Edel cannot refuse.

What's more, Romania has a population of only 16 million even with overseas ethnic groups, which is much smaller than the current population of 30 to 40 million by the foreign powers. Romania can't use the tactics of fighting against each other. Therefore, cultivating high-quality nationals belonging to Romania has become Edel's top priority. ()
