Romanian Eagle

Chapter 179: News from Austria-Hungary

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! The palace at the end of March is also full of greenery, but now there is only one royal member of Edel in the palace of Bucharest. The Carols took their wife Sophie Marie to Peres Palace for vacation, leaving only Edel to deal with domestic affairs.

In the middle of the Southern Carpathians, about 130 kilometers north of Bucharest, there is a 300-year-old fairytale-like beautiful mountain town Sinaia, where the current Peres Palace is located on a slope.

In 1866, the then Council of State of the United Kingdom of Romania made a decision to invite Prince Carroll of Germany to be the king of Romania. In 1872, King Carroll invited a German architect to design and build the Peres Palace. After its completion, the achievement has always been a holiday place for their Romanian royal family, Hohenzollern. They come here to rest for two or three months every year.

But now this year, because it was Romania’s final preparation time before World War I, Edel did not come with his parents and his wife, who was five months pregnant, with a bulging abdomen, citing too much domestic affairs. All of Edel's energy is now to make the Romanian economy adapt to the war that started in the second half of the year.

"His Royal Highness, this is the latest information on imported raw materials."

A guard took the latest raw material import statistics list from the customs and put it on Edel's desk.

"Okay, I know."

Facing the report from the guard, Edel continued to deal with the report in his hand without raising his head.

Seeing that the crown prince had no other problems, the guard quietly left the crown prince's office, leaving Edel, who was still working hard.

"Uh…"

Edel stretched out after finishing the tasks he had to deal with. The document he was dealing with was that the Romanian government intends to issue the latest decree to encourage farmland reclamation. In this decree, the government has stipulated that as long as it is newly reclaimed farmland, it can get five years of tax exemption, and as long as each family can reclaim more than 2 hectares of new farmland, it can get the government's purchase of agricultural machinery. allowance.

After reading the decree carefully, Edel was still very satisfied with the provisions listed by the government. This took full account of the actual situation in Romania, and the allowances given were within the scope of the government's tolerance. Finally, Edel signed his name on the bill.

After Edel finished processing this document, he began to pick up the raw material statistics list that the guard had put on his desk, intending to look. Because Romania is not rich in industrial mineral resources, Edel also attaches great importance to the import of raw materials that can ensure the operation of domestic industries. Especially now that World War I is approaching, Edel intends to hoard more when the price is not too high to ensure the operation of Romania's industry. He was also broken for the Romanian economy.

"Da~Da~Da"

Just then there was a knock on the door, and Edel put down the information he was about to check and shouted.

"Come in"

At this time the door opened and a guard came in.

"what's up?"

I heard this guard talk to Edel. "His Royal Highness sent a telegram from Sloboria that the Food Import and Export Association was established, and our people became the president of this association. This is a telegram."

After hearing the news, Edel stood up and took the telegram from the guard and began to check it. This association is very important to Edel. At present, the three main export goods of Romania are petrochemicals, grain, and automobiles and their spare parts.

Among them, petrochemicals are well managed because there is only one Romanian Petroleum Company in the country, and automobiles are also easy to manage because of the existence of Volkswagen, a giant automobile.

Because of its scattered nature, there are only some local associations such as the Iasi Grain Association and the Bacwu Grain Association. Among them, the various local food associations are fighting for various reasons, and some associations still have internal disputes, so there has never been a national type of association.

These are all things that Edel wants to use Romania’s strong export of grain weapons to benefit the country and cannot be allowed. Therefore, he asked the palace chief Viscount Adri to find suitable candidates to the various food associations, through coercion and lure, etc., to integrate the domestic food associations that are like a pan of sand.

After nearly a month of hard work, the results are now in front of him, but considering that the royal family will come forward, the land nobles have no sufficient reason to oppose the Romanian royal family that is now in full swing.

The telegram sent not only the news of the establishment of the Food Import and Export Association, but also several important rules. Among them, the uniform price of grain and the uniform export, which Edel attaches most importance to, are included. In this integrated association, it is inevitable that there will be some people who can't see the situation clearly. I believe that they have also used many methods. As long as the results are good, Edel will not care. He is not where God can manage all the sufferings in the world~www.readwn.com~ does a good job. "

After seeing this telegram that satisfies him, Edel showed a happy expression. With the establishment of the Food Import and Export Association, the vast majority of Romania’s grain exports are now in the hands of Edel. Although it is still inevitable that there is no fear of death, these are irrelevant to the overall situation, as long as Edel can determine the export volume to reach 3 million tons. Whoever exports the country’s grains, then it can bring rich returns to Romania.

After calming down his mood, Edel picked up the raw material statistics list that he had sent before to check it. The industrial raw materials imported in this list have also reached a new high, of which rubber is the largest import. For this kind of gum, which was originally produced in the tropical rain forests of Brazil and has now been extended to Southeast Asia and South America, he can only import a little more to ensure that it is used in Romania. Whoever allows Romania to be located in the Black Sea, except in the Balkans, has no influence on the outside world, and can only purchase it in advance and hoard it and use it slowly.

Imported raw materials are second only to rubber in coal and iron ore. Coal and iron ore, which is the basis of Romania’s industry, is now completely dependent on imports. This caused Edel to drool secretly at the map, the Austria-Hungarian Bohemia region closest to Romania and the Russian Eastern Ukraine region. It's a pity that I can't reach it, even taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of World War I is impossible to obtain. Who made these two regions in Romania too far away? The nearest is 340 kilometers away. After the war, Britain and France won't let their own hands, so Edel can only look at starting from other places.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in"

This time it was Carust, the captain of the guard, who came to Edel and spoke to the crown prince. "His Royal Highness, we have just received news that the Crown Prince of Austria is going to visit Bosnia and Herzegovina in early summer."
