Romanian Eagle

In winter, Lviv is wrapped in silver, which makes the whole city look much better. But today's Lviv is more lively. The military and police are on duty around, and there are many people on both sides of the street holding national flags and cheering for the passing motorcade.

Eder was in the convoy, and with him was Lviv Mayor Osbyk. This time, Eder took time out of his busy schedule to come to Lviv, mainly because he paid attention to this heavy industrial city.

"Your Majesty, Lviv's steel and petrochemical industries are currently the most abundant, followed by machinery manufacturing, and then other heavy industries, while the textile industry is the most nervous in light industry."

In Chelyosbik the mayor is reporting to Eder on the current industrial production in Lviv. Because he knew that Edel's visit this time must have a lot to do with the decline in Lviv's industrial production capacity this year.

This year, the industrial output value of Lviv has decreased by 5-15% compared with last year. Among them, the light industry has decreased the most, followed by other industries that have nothing to do with the military industry. Not much, but still somewhat lower.

If nothing else, Lviv steel production this year was 4.21 million tons, 210,000 tons lower than last year. Although steel mill workers have not declined much, they still have a great impact on raw materials and transportation.

This is still the main focus of industries such as the steel and oil industry. As for other industries, it is even worse. In particular, the service industry has suffered a lot, which has been reduced to 64% of the employees. This is only the case in industry, the situation in agricultural production is even worse.

Since more conscripts are recruited from rural areas, the number of agricultural practitioners is decreasing. At present, the number of agricultural employees in Romania has dropped from 11.34 million to 10.47 million. Half of the lost population has entered the army, and most of them are young men.

If we want to talk about Romania's top priority to ensure production, agricultural machinery is definitely the first. Among them, Lviv No. 2 Machinery Manufacturing Plant, which is the main agricultural machinery, has reduced its tank production from 45 at its peak to about 24 now. The rest of the production capacity is all about producing tractors to help with the possible reductions in agricultural production due to population loss.

As for other industries, the extractive industry expanded to a certain extent due to the war. At present, the number of employees in the extractive industry has increased from 1.13 million to 1.2 million. Because many resources in Romania currently need to be mined by themselves.

As for the manufacturing industry, Romania currently employs 10.76 million people in the manufacturing industry, 130,000 less than before. The main reduction is mainly in light industry. At present, the living needs of the domestic people have been suppressed due to the wartime.

Therefore, the scale of light industry has also been suppressed to a certain extent.

Whether it is in raw materials or transportation and distribution basins, it is ranked at the back.

And the government is mobilizing more women into factories to free up the male labor force to meet the needs of the military.

At present, the number of troops mobilized in Romania has reached 2.6 million. The growth is so fast that it has increased mobilization efforts from the beginning, and the military plans to mobilize 3 million by June 1940. In order to increase mobilization efforts, Romania has now recruited the fourth batch, mainly men aged 20-35 without disabilities. The militia and reserve forces that were recruited before have been mobilized, and the fourth batch of mobilization is mainly to use them as supplementary troops to supplement damaged troops and dissatisfied troops.

No one is immune to this war, and every manpower must be squeezed clean.

Of course, we can't forget the Jews who were exchanged. At present, more than 1.5 million Jews have been sent from Germany and Italy. With Germany's collection in Poland, it is expected that within three months, Germany will send more Jews. 500,000 Jews. And these Jews were able to free many workers from the heavy work.

And this is already very good for the Jews, they always want to go back to the concentration camp. Coming to Romania is a bit tiring, but at least my life is safe. Of course, the talents who are useful to Romania will be selected.

In addition, the current number of employees in commercial finance is continuing to decrease. Currently, there are only 1.81 million employees in Romania, which is 310,000 less than before. This also has a lot to do with Romania not being too prosperous in this regard, and of course it has a lot to do with whether the government has much support.

However, in the transport industry, that is a different picture. At present, the Romanian transport and communication industry is growing rapidly even during the war. Of course, wartime transportation needs to be regulated, but it still does not affect the prosperity of the transportation industry.

Eder came here this time because Lviv is too important in Romania. Before acquiring a new heavy industrial base, the importance of Eastern Galicia to Romania is the most important.

"I can see the efforts of the mayor of Osbek and the development of Lviv, and these are unavoidable."

Edel comforted the mayor in front of him and told him not to worry too much.

Because Eder also knows that the industry and agriculture of any country will be affected by the war. Romania's previous semi-mobilization system has actually been producing at full capacity. It can be said that Romania's current advantage is due to Romania's early mobilization.

Of course, Romania is much better than the poor German government. The German government is on the brink of bankruptcy all the year round. It can be said that war is the only way out.

However, the semi-mobilization system has actually emptied Romania's finances. If the war does not come for another year, then Romania will also follow the footsteps of Germany, and the only way to go is bankruptcy. It can be said that if Germany does not fight, Romania will have to fight in a year, because Romania has no money left financially.

Of course, this is why, with the strength of the fifth industrial country in the world, Romania was able to play like a giant in the early stage, because it was all the wealth that Romania has accumulated over the years.

And Edel's motorcade drove through the city and into the suburbs, which opened up the field of vision. There are more factory buildings protected by walls on both sides of the road, and the mayor of Osbeek keeps introducing Edel.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the Rasl Machinery Factory. The wire drawing machines produced by this factory are exported to all parts of the world, but due to the outbreak of the war, the factory is trying to switch to the military industry."

"This is the Lore Textile Factory. The canvas produced by the factory is used in all walks of life, but the production capacity of the factory has been absorbed by the military industry, mainly producing backpacks and lanyards."

"This is……"

On Edel's way to the Second Machinery Factory, the mayor kept introducing the factories along the road. It can be seen that the mayor is very familiar with this, and many data are readily available.

In the mayor's introduction, Edel came to the door of the Second Machinery Factory.
