Romanian Eagle

Time passed in 1914, shortly after the introduction of the new refugee management approach. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In the middle of the year, the two major European groups began to fight fiercely. After the western front passed the Battle of the Marne, the German and British and French troops formed a continuous line of defense for hundreds of kilometers in northern France. The Eastern Front also fell into peace after the Battle of Lodz and the German, Austrian and Russian troops. As for Serbia, Austria-Hungary finally occupied Bergered and Valjevo after the third offensive, but the Serbs will not admit defeat. A counterattack is still brewing, it depends on whether the Austrian-Hungarian army can defend against live. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In addition to the dynamics of the two sides of the battlefield, the biggest news is that the German chief of staff, Xiao Maoqi, was dismissed from his post and replaced by Admiral Faginham. This was because General Moltke failed to defeat France on the crucial western front and was dismissed by William II as he had failed his expectations. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Romania is also prospering because of this war. By the end of the year, Eder will receive a report from the Ministry of Finance that Romanian tax revenue will reach 973 million lei this year. Among them, the largest increase is the export tariff, which has directly increased from 8.76 million lei last year to 218 million lei. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The abnormal increase in Romanian tariffs, and only the increase in export tariffs, can explain the problem. That's right, Romania's taxes were set very low (6%-1o%) in order to ensure competitiveness in grain and oil exports. Now because of the war and geographical location, Romania has become the only buyer of several countries, so the tariff has to be increased, and it is generally increased to 25%. On this one, Romania's fiscal revenue increased immediately. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, Romania's domestic tax revenue, etc., only flourished in the second half of the year, so this year's tax revenue growth failed to show a rocket-like momentum. However, it has been reflected in the gross national product. In 1914, Romania's gdp reached 7.647 billion lei, an increase of 21.36% over the previous year. It was within the forecast of Bretianu, but unfortunately it did not reach an increase of 25%, which also has a lot to do with the closure of the Black Sea Strait by the Ottomans. Because of Romania's previous export target, Western and Southern Europe were completely blocked. Now each factory can only provide the goods they need to the surrounding Germany, Austria and Russia. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Now Romania's private economy is basically the processing and export industry that imports raw materials from various countries and then sells them back to other countries. For example, in the textile industry, most of the raw materials such as cotton and wool are imported from the Ottomans, and a small part is imported from Russia. After being processed and produced in Romania, a small part is sold to them. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The steel industry, which is crucial to Romania, is the most prominent. After the outbreak of the war, the purchasers of steel mills in Russia were warned more than once by Russian officials. It is not allowed to export the steel products produced to the Ottomans, especially military supplies, if they will now stop exporting to Romania. They also knew that Germany and Austria did not need Romanian steel, only the Ottoman Empire had this demand. To this end, the Romanian government also specially summoned the Russian ambassador and told him that Romanian steel is only enough for domestic needs and will not be exported to other countries. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In the agricultural machinery and equipment that Edel is most concerned about now, there is also a very large exhibition this year. As a major producer of agricultural machinery, the Ploiesti Machine Works is under the leadership of the director of Puerto Sriku. The factory, which mainly produces agricultural machinery, has been expanded from 10,000 tractors a year to 45,000, and its workers have reached 23,000. After the outbreak of the war, the director of the Podos Riku factory even made the workers work overtime to produce tractors through three shifts.

Hotter than Volkswagen. It is only because of the late start and the fact that these tractors are basically used in the countryside, that the Ploiesti Machinery Factory is not so conspicuous. \u00261t;/p\u003e

However, half of the orders placed by the Ploiesti Machine Works are domestic orders. Now more and more large landowners in China feel the convenience brought by mechanized farming. Moreover, when the situation of farmers quitting their leases and going to work in cities is becoming more and more prominent, the use of machinery to replace the passing farmers has also become their last choice. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In order to allow these landowners to change their thinking more quickly, Edel even ordered the director of Puerto Sriku not to take orders from abroad, and to make every effort to ensure the use of domestic tractors. In the face of the crown prince's request, the director of the Podos Riku factory dared to refute, so he could only refuse the foreign orders from Germany and Austria. It also made the German and Austrian government think that Romania was going to do something wrong. For this reason, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador also asked Eder for the reason, but he used it to raise Romanian food and beat him back. \u00261t;/p\u003e

And now Romania has 68,752 tractors in the country, and other agricultural machinery is not worth mentioning in the face of the comparison of tractor ownership. It needs to be pointed out here that the director of Potos Riku has not always been obsessed with the current achievements. In addition to trying to find ways to expand the production of tractors, he also hopes to expand the variety of his products. In addition to cooperating with Dean Diesel of the power laboratory to strive for another large tractor, he also asked the factory research department to prepare to expand the use of tractors. \u00261t;/p\u003e

At present, most of the use of tractors is still concentrated in transportation and plowing before sowing, and there is no other help for the subsequent grain harvest. The director of Puerto Sriku considered that involving machinery in agricultural harvesting will improve its efficiency, so as not to waste food during the harvest season because it is not harvested in time. Finally, they improved the traditional power harvester and realized the hanging harvester. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The hanging harvester is suspended behind the tractor, and the working parts are driven by the power take-off shaft to rotate, which is suitable for large-scale cutting of shrubs. It is mainly composed of frame, saw blade, transmission device, suspension device and push plate. During the brush cutting operation, the tractor drives backwards, the working speed is 5 km/h, and 2.4 hectares of wheat can be harvested every day. This is also the new farm tool that they developed for the tractor only this year. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Eder is still very satisfied with the economic situation this year, especially several leading Romanian enterprises. Only these enterprises with good profits can drive the healthy development of small factories in the middle and lower reaches. Of course, the economic development is to allow Romania to invest more funds in the army, or to develop new weapons and equipment. In this war, Romania needs to capture too many interests. Without a strong army, there is no guarantee that Romania will hold its share. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In addition, when the red regime appears next to him, Edel will not be relieved. Not to mention that Eder knew a thing or two about what this red regime did in later generations, and the system of the Kingdom of Romania was inherently hostile to this regime. \u00261t;/p\u003e
