Romanian Eagle

Chapter 506 Returning to China

The Port of Constanta has always been the largest port in Romania, and the number of goods and passengers passing through here every day is not counted. Although Osad Port has better natural conditions after the capture of Western Ukraine, it still cannot shake the position of Constantine Port as the largest port in Romania.

Because Osad is the first choice for shipping in Ukraine, while Constanta is the first choice for shipping in the original Romanian territory. At present, only Western Ukraine is in Romania's hands, and the rest are in the hands of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union will never put its own shipping in Odessa. Now they are building the naval port of Sevastopol, which they intend to use as a commercial port. As for its Black Sea Fleet, it can only squeeze with merchant ships in this port. I heard that the new military port has already been negotiated in the Soviet Union.

Today, the Port of Constanta is crowded with people, and many residents flock to the port spontaneously. Because King Eder, who has been away from Romania for half a year, will arrive today.

As a loyal and patriotic subject, how can you miss the return of the king (to watch the fun).

As for the people who greeted Edel, it was headed by Prime Minister Caraturi. The taste of being in power for half a year made Karaturi very addicted. But he wasn't fooled by power, and he knew exactly who gave this situation. This is also when he got the date of Edel's return, and immediately brought someone to Constanta to welcome him.

The cruise ship that Edel was on soon appeared in front of everyone, and some onlookers began to cheer spontaneously. And Eder, who was on the boat, couldn't help but look at the crowd who greeted him at the Port of Constanta. I haven't been home for half a year, but I finally got home.

When Eder stepped on Romanian soil, the cheers on both sides were fully released.

Prime Minister Karatuli walked quickly to him. "Welcome back, Your Majesty."

"Thanks to the Prime Minister for coming to the port in person to greet him during his busy schedule."

"Nowhere, nothing compares to the contribution His Majesty has made to Romania during this visit."

After talking with the Prime Minister, Edel also greeted several other ministers who greeted him one by one.

"Sir Edward, you are here too."

"Hello, Hulk."

Of course, Edel did not forget to greet his subjects after greeting the ministers. Edel waved his arms at the crowd around him, which seemed to be a signal, and the cheers in the audience reached their peak.

After doing all this, Edel left in a car with the Prime Minister and others. Today he doesn't plan to stop in Constanta and takes the train directly back to Bucharest.

"Your Majesty, we have already discussed with the Italian side about Mobil's acquisition of a stake in the Italian oil company. The Italian side agreed, and the final result of the negotiation was that we and Italy each gave up 10% of the shares, and Mobil drilled and drilled , pipeline and other technologies, and obtain 20% of the shares.”

On the train, Prime Minister Caraturi was reporting to Eder about Mobil's stake in PetroItalia.

And Edel listened to the Prime Minister's report and couldn't help but say. "This is what Mobil should get. Their drilling technology is much better than ours. I heard that they can produce oil from a depth of 1,500 meters. Moreover, its oil refining technology is currently the best in the world, which is worth learning from our country."

Edel said this for a reason. At present, the oil refining technology used by Mobil can achieve 1 ton of crude oil to extract 0.215 tons of gasoline and 0.394 tons of diesel oil. The rate of refined oil is 63.7%. At present, the Romanian Petroleum Company can only reach 0.170 tons of gasoline and 0.371 tons of diesel oil per ton of crude oil. The refined oil rate is 54.1%. A full 9.6% less, close to 10% of refined oil, which is a huge waste.

Eder's words attracted the approval of Prime Minister Karatuli. "Your Majesty, I will write a letter to the oil companies. Let them increase their investment in oil refining technology, and strive to make them narrow the gap with Mobil."

"That's all it takes."

Edel knew that Caraturi's can only comfort himself, because the improvement of oil refining technology requires a lot of money.

This is very impractical given the current tasks of oil companies. Because the current government needs the profits of the Romanian oil company to develop the economy, it will not leave them too much money. In addition, the size of the Romanian oil company is still too small compared to Mobil and Shell, and its capital is not strong.

In the final analysis, the oil field owned by this company is still too small, unlike several other large oil fields. And Eder knows the location of the big oil field, but Romania is currently out of reach. In the future, there will be oil everywhere in the Middle East, which is currently the sphere of influence of Britain and France. Not state oil, also in its colonies. Only by exploiting Italy's connections could oil be mined in its colonies, but this was instead used by Mobil.

In the final analysis, Romania is still not strong enough, and the current strength is heavy industry. At present, Romania's heavy industry still needs to develop. However, heavy industry needs raw materials, which in turn involves minerals. It can be said that the whole body is affected by the first, and there is still a long way to go to develop Romania.

In addition to this, Eder is not very satisfied with the current Romanian agriculture. Although Romania's agriculture is not bad at present, too many people are involved in the land. This will affect the industrialization of Romania. While Edel visited so many countries, an idea gradually came to mind. That is, mechanized farming needs to be expanded, and more peasants need to be converted into workers in cities. Anyway, they have enough education, and there is no problem at all to be ordinary workers.

The big farms in the US, Edel, don't have that much money, and Romania doesn't have that much arable land. However, the Soviet Union next door has done a good job in this regard, but it is impossible to use that model directly. There are too many links that need to be improved, and these require him and his officials to slowly explore.

From this, we can see that running a country is not easy, and the ancients did not deceive me. There are too many aspects to consider, and there are too many problems in Romania that need to make up their own minds. Eder can only learn from the experience of later generations.

On the train, Eder and the Prime Minister discussed issues such as oil and agriculture. In this regard, Caraturi is much worse than the former Prime Minister Bretianu, because he was the Minister of Industry before, and he knows all about agricultural issues, but knows nothing. As for oil, the former mayor of Ploiesti still knows a little bit about it.

Edel could only smile helplessly. I know his shortcomings, but still choose him, I should think of this result.

The conversation was not pleasant, but it was not dull either. When the lights came on, Eder and his party finally arrived in the capital, Bucharest. I don't know if his son Victor has turned the palace upside down.

"Bear boy, your happy time is over."
