Romanian Eagle

After the meeting, Edel couldn't help rubbing his temples. The competition for these funds between these important ministers was too fierce, and even he, the arbiter, was dizzy. But in the end, in addition to throttling the $500 million invested in the U.S. stock market in advance, Edel still held up to $480 million.

Because he has other uses for these funds, he can't spill them all.

As soon as the government personnel left, the military personnel came after.

The guards came in to report. "Your Majesty, Admiral Freiette and others ask to see you."

Edel cheered up and ordered. "Please come in."

Following Edel's orders, the chief of staff, Admiral Fereit, and the minister of the navy, Vice Admiral Lomodan, came in.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this time, US$2 billion of national debt was issued in the United States, so Lieutenant General Lomodan and I hope to put some of the funds into the defense cause."

Admiral Freiit was a soldier in the end, and his words were not so euphemistic. As soon as he entered the door, he revealed the purpose of the two's trip. It is clear that this time the military also wants to profit from the issuance of the national debt.

Admiral Fereit's words made Edel couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. He was about to become a Tang monk and everyone wanted to share a piece of the pie. However, the attitude of the military still needs to be considered, and to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army does require investment.

"Then tell me what plan your military has prepared for this. Let's talk about it first. This money is mainly used for the domestic economy, so it is impossible to invest too much in the military."

Edel was vaccinated first, otherwise, according to the character of the military, he might want to surprise him.

"Your Majesty, we know this. The main purpose of this visit is to obtain some funds for the research and development of new weapons."

After Admiral Freiit finished speaking, he put the two documents in front of him. It seemed that the military had come prepared this time.

Edel picked up the two documents and found that one was the Army's new equipment development and troop reorganization plan, and the other was the Navy's ship construction and new equipment research and development plan.

Edel did not read the two plans first, but asked instead. "How is the reorganization of the Army Corps going?"

Admiral Freiette who was inquired immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the work of dismantling the regiment is going very smoothly. Twenty-one of the twenty-four divisions currently owned by the Army have been reorganized and will be completed next year. All the adaptation work."

Admiral Fleet's words made Eder very satisfied. It is also a general trend to change the two-brigades system to the three-regiment system. It seems that Admiral Fleet has done a good job.

Edel then asked another topic of concern.

"How is the military exchange with the Germans?"

"At present, the first batch of exchanges in Germany has arrived in China. I went to see them in person. These are young officers with rich experience. We communicate with them fairly well. It can be seen that the Germans still attach great importance to exchanges with us."

"In addition, our exchange of military technology with Germany is also good. Their aircraft and heavy artillery technology is worth learning from. And we are not bad. The Germans are full of praise for our tank technology."

Hearing Admiral Fleet's answer, Edel said with satisfaction. "That's good. The military exchanges between our country and Germany are very important, which greatly improves our national defense."

"I will go down to supervise, and there will be no setbacks in the exchanges between the two countries."

After talking with Admiral Fereit, Eder asked about Admiral Lomodan of the Navy. "How is the progress of the ships currently under construction?"

"Your Majesty, the current progress is good, and it can be guaranteed to be completed according to the plan. Especially the Brebisa is more focused on ensuring its construction efficiency."

The Brebisa that Lieutenant General Lomodan mentioned was the 10,000-ton heavy cruiser in the previous five-year plan of the Navy.

The ship Brebista is 194 meters long, 18.5 meters wide, has a standard displacement of 11,000 tons (9,950 tons declared to the outside world), and a full load of 13,670 tons. Four heavy oil boilers, four steam turbines,

The maximum output power is 110,000 horsepower, and the maximum horsepower is 34 knots. 7000 nautical miles/14 knots, 3800 nautical miles/18 knots

The weaponry is equipped with eight 203mm 45-caliber naval guns, in a layout of two fronts and two rears. Six single-barreled 88mm 50-caliber high-level dual-purpose guns, six twin-mounted 20mm-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and 4x twin-mounted 610mm torpedo tubes.

The armor is; side armor 127-146mm, deck 37-46mm, mine armor 25-58mm. The main turret is 35mm, the gun mount is 25-38mm, and the ammunition magazine is 52-90mm.

It can be said that this heavy cruiser, named after the founder of the first Romanian kingdom Dacia, fully meets the needs of the Romanian Navy.

After asking the two of them, Edel finally picked up the top army plan. Turning to the first page, Edel saw the eye-catching title, Suggestions for armored brigade reformers.

For the current armored brigade in this proposal, it is believed that its small size is not conducive to a breakthrough role in the war. And in the future the enemy will certainly have a large number of anti-tank weapons, even armored units. And in view of the increased military capabilities of Romania's main threat to the Soviet Union in the future, the brigade-level armored forces are also reducing its deterrence. Therefore, Romania needs to strengthen the armored forces, mainly to upgrade the current armored brigades of one brigade and two regiments to one division and three regiments. Chief among them is the addition of an infantry regiment.

In addition, in view of the fact that the motorized infantry regiment Bunsen's breakthrough ability was found to be poor in the previous battle, the vehicle trucks used by its troops did not have the ability to travel in the wild. So I hope to improve this situation in the future. It is mainly necessary to develop tracked vehicles, preferably with certain protection capabilities and firepower to deal with emergencies.

In addition, the current number of tanks in its core armored regiment is relatively small when facing the enemy, and it is also hoped that the current 112 (3x4x9+4 supplementary tanks) will be changed to 148 (4x4x9+4). In addition, the mechanized infantry regiment also needs to be assigned an armored battalion (4x9+2) for each regiment to allow it to have a small-scale independent breakthrough capability, so the final armored division needs to have 224 tanks.

In addition, with the expansion of the armored division, the demand for air defense, reconnaissance, and support firepower will also increase, so its subordinate air defense battalion, artillery battalion, transportation battalion and other units also need to increase their equipment and personnel.

Edel gasped when he saw this, but it wasn't that he scared him. But the armored troops are very expensive, this brigade reform division is burning money completely, he is distressed.

Edel resisted the urge to refuse on the spot and continued watching. The following is normal. It is all about the research and development requirements of new equipment, such as the research and development of bombers, transport aircraft, new artillery and other weapons.

It was only then that Edel discovered that Admiral Freiette knew that the Brigade Reformer was spending too much, and did not dare to speak from other aspects.

Edel put down the army's plan and picked up the navy's plan. He was shocked when he didn't read it. The navy actually wanted to do this.
