Romanian Eagle

Facing Edel's question, Ambassador Shao Mingren felt that he didn't know how to answer. The ambassador who just took office is not an economist. I really don't know how to answer this question.

So after thinking about it again and again, he said: "It may be that Romania is not well-known in the country, while other countries have been operating in the country for many years, and the public has recognized them."

Facing the answer given by Ambassador Shao, Preshan thought for a while and replied: "It is true that Romania was not well-known in your country before. However, I believe that with the development of Romania in the future, Romania will definitely be completely in the future. It will make the Chinese people like it. Because we have also grown from a small and weak, and our two countries have no political disputes at all. We have never invaded or oppressed your country. A new friend who has no bad deeds will definitely like your country. ."

Shao Mingren, who was taken aback by what Edel said, immediately replied: "Your Majesty, you are right, the relationship between Romania and China will surely reach a new level in the future."

He had no idea that Eder would make such an evaluation of Britain, France and other powers. That's right, many European countries now call the wars between Britain and France with China as punishment for ignorant societies.

He might be able to use this opportunity to enhance his relationship with the king, and it would also benefit his weight in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After all, not everyone can be a friend of the monarch of a country, especially if this country is relatively powerful.

Thinking of this, Ambassador Shao felt a little hot in his heart. "I didn't expect His Majesty the King to be so sympathetic to China. On behalf of the Beiyang government, I am here to thank you for your sincere speech."

After hearing Ambassador Shao's speech, Edel laughed and said: "It's nothing, a country made up of 40 million Chinese people will definitely have its own place in the world in the future. At present, it is only the dawn before darkness. As long as China To restore unity, no one can ignore the strength of your country."

After saying that, Edel added a sentence in his heart, but it will take a long time to complete the real unity, because there is a vicious dog beside you.

"Thank you very much for your Majesty's attention to the Chinese people. We will not forget those countries that really helped us. For Romania, our people will definitely know your country's goodwill."

Ambassador Shao, who has no special ability and can't hear Edel's inner thoughts, is really happy this time. Because there is really little room for evaluating China, especially since this person is still the monarch of a country.

At present, the general attitude of European countries towards the ambassadors of the Republic of China is that they are arrogant, and even if they hide it, they are contemptuous of some inferior countries. On this point, Shao Mingren, who has been working in European embassies, is very clear. After all, Europe is the core of the civilized world, and it is normal to look down on other countries.

At this time, Edel stated the main purpose of summoning Ambassador Shao this time.

"I heard that your country and other countries have study abroad programs. I wonder if this program can be expanded to Romania. Our schools in Romania are no worse than other countries, and we can also provide funds to help those eager students who have crossed the ocean. them."

Yes, Edel is very interested in the current work-study program. I have already traveled to the famous Diligent Study in France. There is a joke in later generations that studying in the United States is an artist and writer, studying in Germany is an engineer and general, and studying in France is a revolutionary. The most famous class of diligent workers studying in France has traveled, and there are many famous figures in later generations. The long and unspeakable name alone will affect future generations for many years.

And Edel intends to push forward the plan to study in Romania this time. This is not only to expand Romania's reputation in China, but also for his own little wish, who made him a Chinese in his previous life.

Shao Mingren was overjoyed to hear that Eder planned to fund his plan to study in Romania. This was a real achievement. He never thought that such a huge pie would fall on his head when he came to Romania. This would not only increase his weight in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also make him famous in the country. Every student studying in Romania in the future, Who can not think of their own good.

"I don't know, how many students does His Majesty plan to sponsor each year to study abroad?"

Facing Ambassador Shao's question, Eder thought for a while and replied: "I plan to sponsor a study abroad program for 200 people each year, and each international student will be given a living allowance of 840 lei per year."

Don't think this amount is small, it takes at least three years to study abroad, usually four years. One-year preparatory study of language preparation textbooks, four years of university life. According to this plan, Edel needs to sponsor nearly one million US dollars in annual expenses just for living allowances, not counting road expenses and domestic expenses. It is estimated that he needs at least 1.5 million US dollars per year.

Therefore, the cost of studying abroad in this era is really very high, and it is really not affordable for ordinary people. Even the government cannot afford to study abroad for too many people. This is also the reason why Eder is only now starting the study abroad program. Before Romania was poor, where did the money come from to support others. Even if this country is the motherland of his previous life.

Therefore, after hearing the number reported by Edel, His Excellency Ambassador Shao flushed with excitement. This is really a great credit. Maybe he will be transferred back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to serve as a deputy minister. But then Edel's words brought him back to reality.

"I plan to use the money to let Mr. Cai Yuanpei of your country take charge of the admissions work."

Edel intends to pay the money himself. As far as the current situation of the Republic of China is concerned, if it is handed over to others, there may be something wrong. Money moves people's hearts, he understands this truth. Mr. Cai was the most famous educator in the Republic of China, and Eder felt that he would be more at ease when the money was in his hands.

Hearing that Edel did not intend to give the money directly to the Beijing government, Ambassador Shao was of course not ready to say anything. After all, it was Romanian money, and he was afraid that the credit would go to waste because of the jurisdiction over the funds. So he immediately said, "Principal Cai has a noble character. He is responsible for managing the money. Our government is very reassured."

Later, Ambassador Shao suggested to Eder the proposal to establish a China-Romania Friendship Association, and Eder also agreed to the proposal to expand Romania's reputation in China. However, this fund is not as high as the study abroad program, which costs one million lei every year. Mainly to promote Romania's reputation in newspapers and radio, and lay a solid foundation for Romanian products to enter China in the future.

Then, in a satisfactory environment for the honored guests, Ambassador Shao left the palace after saying goodbye to Edel, but he wanted to inform the country of the good news immediately.

Principal Cai, who heard the great news, immediately recruited another group of students to send to Romania. In any case, this kind of study abroad program sponsored by foreign monarchs is also a huge surprise for the impoverished Republic of China. At the same time, the country of Romania has also spread all over the country, and they also have a good impression of Eder, the monarch who sponsored the study.

So in the following August, the first batch of students studying in Romania set off from Shanghai.

A short 16-year-old student with a strong Sichuan accent was also included in the itinerary because of the Edel study abroad program. He is also curious about this country, and intends to go to Romania, which has grown from a weak to a strong country, to learn its way of becoming a strong country.

All this is what Edel did not expect.
