Falling in love with youkanshu..

In the winter of 1922, nothing major happened anywhere in the world.

If you insist that there is, then the establishment of the Soviet Union can also be counted. The Soviet republics under the control of the Soviet Union established the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics at the end of December, and the name of the Soviet Union finally appeared in front of the world.

The establishment of the Soviet Union can also be seen as a change from Lenin and others to abandon the world revolution and concentrate on building a socialist country, because Stalin was the person responsible for forming the Soviet Union.

As one of the most famous figures of World War II, Stalin's temperament has been thoroughly studied by later generations, and Eder certainly knew the character of this "father".

The "father" is most concerned about two things, the industrialization of Soviet Russia and the purge. Of course, from the perspective of future generations, we can comment on its role unscrupulously, but few people can put themselves in his position and consider the problem.

As the only hostile communist country, the Soviet Union faced threats from all directions. At this time, the Soviet Union urgently needed to enhance its national strength, and rapid industrialization was their only option. However, according to Russian temperament, this goal is difficult to achieve without a death order (compare the growth in the era of Khrushchev and Brezhnev). So there must be a whip behind them that drives them forward.

Of course, the result of forcible driving will make people dissatisfied. It is fine for a short time, but no one can stand it for a long time. So at the Seventeenth Congress in 1931, Stalin lost the election, and his name was ticked off more times than anyone else when a secret ballot was held. The loss of a general secretary can be regarded as a very important event, which also shows how many people are complaining about the rapid industrialization.

Facing huge dissatisfaction within the party, Stalin either stepped down or fought back. Of course, according to his tough character, he must fight back. After the final decision was made to increase the number of members of the Central Committee and make up for the number of members of the Central Committee, a major purge was inevitable.

One of the essences of the Great Purge was to allow these officials to continue to complete the industrialization of Soviet Russia. Especially at that time, the situation in the neighboring countries of Soviet Russia was extremely deteriorating, and it was necessary to make Soviet Russia more powerful. Of course guaranteeing his rule is one of them. (But to be fair, it’s hard to say whether the Soviet Union could survive World War II without such a tough leader as Stalin)

As for the news of the establishment of the Soviet Union, Edel just glanced at it and put it down. This is Romania's main threat to the future, but he really has no way to deal with it at the moment. It's better to be concerned about Romania. You need to be hard on yourself.

According to the latest Romanian statistics, in 1922 Romania's GDP reached a total of 32.76 billion lei. Among them, the industrial output value is 18.47 billion lei,

The value of agricultural output is 9.64 billion lei. Now it can be said responsibly that Romania has entered the age of industrialization.

And this value ($6.324 billion) is already higher than Italy ($5.641 billion), ranking after Britain, France, Germany and the Soviet Union, and it can be regarded as the top five economic powers in Europe.

Moreover, Romania has a better advantage than Italy, that is, the vast plain terrain, which allows Romania to maintain one of the top grain exports in Europe. After the rapid development during the war, the Romanian grain processing industry and the food industry were very competitive in Europe. And Romania's traditional strong exports of automobiles and petrochemical products are also consolidating its position. It is worth mentioning that the export of Romanian fertilizers has also grown thanks to the large potash mines in the Carpathian Mountains.

Several large fertilizer plants in Transylvania not only provide fertilizers for domestic use, but also export to neighboring countries, especially Poland, which has the largest export volume.

Relying on Romania's strong economic growth, the government's revenue has also increased significantly. At present, the central fiscal revenue this year has reached 3.67 billion lei, an increase of 5.7% over the previous year.

However, the increase in revenue is still not as good as the expenditure, and the listed fiscal expenditure in the next year amounted to 4.38 billion lei. Among them, the largest expenditure is the expenditure on the new territory. Of course, these funds are not listed separately, but are mixed into the budgets of various departments.

The budget for education funds still occupies the top spot, and the expenditure of 543 million lei is still the top of the pack. Many of these funds were used to open Romanian schools in new territories. Because the Ministry of Education is considering a mandatory requirement, Romanian language and script must be taught in schools at all levels. Of course other languages ​​and scripts can also be taught, but there is a prescribed minimum duration for both Romanian and the script.

In addition to this, they also want to increase the score occupied by Romanian Latin in the exam to entice students and parents to study. Based on the latest considerations, they intend to increase the score for Romanian to 1 (100 for all other subjects).

It can be seen that the Ministry of Education has also worked hard to integrate Romanian nationals.

It is followed by the government's public expenditure of 417 million lei, the reason why this proportion is so high is also because of dealing with a variety of things in the new territory, such as mediating disputes between ethnic groups and so on. There is also giving local governments some powers to help them quickly solve problems that arise. And where does the power come from, in addition to promoting officials, the control of government funds is also one of them.

However, this power is currently the Prime Minister of Karaturi and has plans to take it back. Therefore, by then, the public expenditure of the government will also decrease rapidly.

In addition to unexpected government public expenditures, the next step is transportation construction expenditures. Its expenditure of 379 million lei also remains the mainstay of government spending. This is caused by the renovation of other roads in addition to the expansion of road construction in new territories. At present, the Ministry of Construction is promoting the division of roads at all levels, including national-level roads, provincial-level, municipal-level, and even village-level roads. The Chinese-class roads need to have two-way four-lane roads, and the roads should be paved with asphalt to facilitate the driving of cars. The provincial level is similar, except that the requirements for parking oil roads are lower, and the municipal roads are even lower, until the village-level dirt roads.

The next step is the expenditure of military expenses, and the expenditure of 342 million lei is definitely not low. Because Romania is currently laying off part of its military personnel. That's right, the reform of the three-regiment system under the auspices of Admiral Fereit is in full swing, and many officers and soldiers have been chosen to retire.

According to Fereit's plan, Romania will reduce the total number of troops to 310,000, of which the army will remain at around 250,000. At present, 2 of the 26 divisions of the Army need to be abolished. Except for a few remaining division-level troops, all divisions need to have a shelf infantry regiment.

The Navy has expanded to 60,000 people on the basis of less than 40,000 people at present, because they will usher in a big development next. As a manifestation of their great development, the Navy can get 103 million lei in its military expenditure. This is the largest sum the Navy has ever received, and starting this year, the Navy's funding will also increase year by year.

For this reason, Admiral Lomodan, the Minister of the Navy, Admiral Nestaku, the Fleet Commander, and others have formulated an ambitious shipbuilding plan. They plan to build five destroyers, three light cruisers, and one heavy cruiser in the Navy within five years.

In order to calm the Army’s anger at the huge increase in Navy funding, Edel assured Freiit that it would not cut the Army’s funding, and at the same time increase the Army’s funding at a rate of no less than 3% per year.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Romania currently has a social security and employment expenditure. However, its current proportion is not large, currently less than 30 million lei. However, it is believed that with the passage of time, its proportion is also increasing.
