Romanian Eagle

News that Romania was going to build a battleship soon spread.

Building a big guy like a battleship requires cooperation from all sides, so it is impossible to cover up the news. When the country learned that the navy was going to build a battleship, everyone was excited. Because in this era, the construction of battleships is a symbol of a country's national strength. The battleship is also the top product of the high-tech technology of this era, and no one does not want their own country to have the ability to build it.

For this reason, some domestic newspapers called on the public to donate money to the Romanian battleship, and the navy even asked the propaganda department to bring people to give speeches in major cities. The ship model allows the public to have an intuitive understanding of the navy. Of course, the most popular among the people is the model of the Mircea-class battleship. The naval officers who are responsible for explaining the model every day are too tired to straighten their waists.

In addition, the Department of the Navy has also set up a special shipbuilding fund. And in order to increase the enthusiasm of everyone to donate actively, the navy not only donated various ship models to donors, but also specially made badges to donate.

Of course, for those large donations, the Navy is better prepared. The model of the battleship Mircea and the letter of thanks written by Lieutenant General Lomodan, Minister of the Navy, are sure to make people feel satisfied.

Under the propaganda of several sets of combinations of the Navy, the shipbuilding fund has raised nearly 10 million lei in just one week. The model of the battleship Mircea alone was sent out, and the thank you letter handwritten by Your Excellency Minister was almost sour. According to the estimates of the Navy Department, the entire fundraising operation should be able to raise funds between 60 million and 70 million lei. This can cover one-third of the construction cost. The construction cost of this battleship Omircha is as high as 190 million lei. Only Romania's most expensive weapon, no one.

Mainly because many devices need new research and development, the cost is high. If you switch to the UK, where the shipbuilding industry is developed and strong, it is estimated that it will only cost 60% of the cost of Romania.

The Navy received such a huge donation that Admiral Freiit wanted the Army to publicize it as well. However, considering the gap between the army and the navy, his budding heart was put down again. The navy is a natural aristocratic arm, which is comparable to the bitterness of the army.

The news of Romania's construction of battleships, of course, not only resonated violently at home, but also caused an uproar abroad. At a time when all countries have stopped building battleships this naval holiday, Romania's shipbuilding action is so conspicuous, let alone a big guy comparable to big7.

Therefore, this incident has caused huge repercussions in the navies of the world, especially Britain and France, which have huge interests in Europe.

In France, Le Figaro reported on this. Romania's shipbuilding plan not only broke the division of naval power in the Black Sea, but also had a dramatic impact on Europe. Because as far as we know, the country's giant ship has help from Germany and Italy. And these two countries from participating in the construction of Romanian battleships, after all, serve their own navies. And France has many disputes with these two countries, so the French government must not turn a blind eye to this.

As for the British side, The Times also commented on Romanian construction of battleships. We should note that in the Balkans, Romania began to build its own battleships. This shows that this country, which has gained huge interests in World War I, has begun to have its own ambitions. For this reason, the British Empire needs to pay attention to the turmoil that may be caused by Romania in the Balkans. For this reason, it is best for my country to warn this ambitious country that the peaceful environment in Europe cannot be broken.

And some British tabloids even sneered, can Romania build a good battleship?

As for the Soviet Union, which had a huge territorial dispute with Romania, it expressed its attitude in the Red Star.

We have noticed the construction of battleships in the Black Sea by neighboring Romania, which in turn has increased tensions in the region. Here we need to show it that the Soviet Union is not afraid of this naval preparation,

Because the Soviet Union also had the same construction technology. If Romania continues to build more battleships, the Soviet Union will surely complete the suppression of the Romanian Navy with ten times the strength.

Of course, the Soviet Union's words are self-bragging. At present, the only thing they can do is the four-class Gangut-class battleship. And its domestic economy has just returned to pre-war levels, so it can only be said in the newspapers.

As for Britain and France, of course, it is not only mentioned in the newspapers.

Today, the British and French ambassadors will join hands to visit.

"Your Majesty, I hope your country's naval construction plan can explain it to us so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

The British ambassador, Reed Plyman, explained his intentions to Edel as soon as he saw him.

In fact, a Mir-class battleship did not cause tension in Britain and France. Don't look at the wealth of the French and British empires. They are really better than the navy. The Romanian navy, which can fight only a fraction, can't find the north. What they were concerned about was whether Romania would take this opportunity to aggressively build battleships and affect the balance of power in Europe.

You must know that in the design of Britain and France, Romania's main role was to prevent the penetration of the Soviet Union into Europe. Not to let it meddle in European affairs. Although the construction of battleships is not to interfere in European affairs, it is also a possible precursor, and Britain and France have to be taken precautions.

For the French ambassador, Monktor, the situation is even more serious. Although France and Italy are currently competing for the interests of the Mediterranean Sea, they have the upper hand, but as the Romanians and Italians get closer and closer, they cannot help but be vigilant. Especially in the construction of battleships in Romania, the depth of Italian involvement is even more disturbing. The Italian and Romanian economies have grown closer together, and if so militarily, then a de facto alliance is not far off.

Edel not only smiled and said after watching the nervous questioning of the British and French ambassadors. "Don't be nervous, the two ambassadors. Regarding the construction of battleships by our country, it is also to protect Romania's interests in the Black Sea. As we all know, our country has a poor relationship with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet navy, which has four battleships, poses a huge threat to our coastline. In order to protect more and more The more prosperous the coastline and trade were, the more our country had to build battleships to increase its strength."

"But there is no need for your country to build such a high-cost super battleship. As far as I know, the cost of this super battleship in your country is enough to build two battleships with good performance. And the combat power of the two battleships will also be higher than this one. Much taller."

British after all, Ambassador Reed Pleman pointed out that the cost of building the warship was unreasonable. For this reason, Edel had no choice but to speak. "Because our navy takes into account the future development, in order to keep this battleship from falling behind, it can only increase the requirements."

At this time, French Ambassador Mencto asked the key to their trip. "Then, Your Majesty, how many more battleships will your country need to build next?"

Facing Menktor's question, Edel spread out his hands and said. "Just this one is going to consume too much government funds. Where can many more ships be built."

...

The British and French ambassadors left with a satisfactory answer, and Eder was relieved.

Originally, according to his plan, the construction of battleships would not start until around 1930, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Unexpectedly, the Romanian Navy is so keen on building battleships, and the country is so eager to have its own sea monster, Eder also agreed.

Although the future belongs to aircraft carriers, battleships also have an irreplaceable role in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. So go ahead as soon as possible, Romania does not need to take care of the feelings of Britain and France in everything.

At this moment, Edel felt that his years of immersion in development had substantial meaning. ,
