Rebirth: Romania Rising

"Did you see that high flagpole?" Victor stretched out his arm and pointed to the white, green and red Bulgarian flag that could be vaguely seen in the distance.

Then he introduced: "That is the Bulgarian Embassy. It is established in the capital. Every morning, the Romanian and Bulgarian flags will be raised together, but it seems that it may not be possible today."

The police in charge of security were so nervous that they formed a human barrier to prevent the marchers from getting any closer.If such a team entered the embassy, ​​it would definitely cause a major diplomatic accident.

"What's the matter? Alas, Alexei, let's go."

After getting rid of the chaotic parade, Victor thought about it again. I'm afraid he won't have many opportunities to go home in the next year. All the rewarded land will be left to his parents to hire workers to run, so he might as well send more money. Let the family in the countryside get an extra cow. One cow is equivalent to three more laborers. I also mailed a lot of my bonus to my parents, and in the end I still have a lot on hand.

The two left the post office and walked slowly towards the market. In the evening, the sun was about to set. Victor shook his head, fearing that he would have to rush back to the military camp early.

"Victor, aren't you too lazy to walk? Why don't you come and see the horses." Alexei pointed to the stables and smiled: "Now that you have the bonus, why don't you buy something for yourself? Come on, let's go together Go look at the horses."

Victor walked around the stables of the market again and looked at the horses.It was a car in the previous life, but now it is a horse. A means of commuting is the first thing Victor wants to buy after receiving the reward.

"Although it is difficult to raise horses, commuting can always make you less tired and avoid wasting a lot of time walking. Why don't you buy one, Victor..."

Victor continued to walk around the stables, and was startled when he saw it. After he walked around in a circle and asked about the price, he realized that his thinking was too simple.Good horses are too expensive, and they are also very edible. I can't even afford to keep them.

At this time, Victor felt that it was indeed a bit too much to send a large sum of money to his family in the blink of an eye.But he didn't regret it, it was what he should have done.

Selecting horses is a science. There are specialized horse-study masters among the people, and schools offer courses to teach it.The first thing to look at when looking at a horse is its age; the second thing is to look at its pedigree; the third thing is to look at whether the growth and development of the muscles throughout the body is even and strong; the fourth thing is to look at whether it is docile; the fifth thing is to look at the running speed, endurance, and bounce, and then combine various aspects to divide the horses into Victor happened to not understand the different levels at all. While listening to the boss's explanation, he secretly learned about it. In fact, when he saw it in person, he was still confused.

Horses are so valuable and are the most valuable property of many middle-class families. It is equivalent to buying a car in future generations. You cannot just pick one at random...

Speaking of which, Romania doesn't even have a decent automobile and engine industry... Victor violated the instinct of a time traveler and wanted to promote the science level at the right time and click on Romania's backward technology tree.

Later, Victor bought some gifts and visited his boss Yan and his colleague Andrew.You must always have a good relationship with your leaders, especially those who have helped you. Victor also has to rely on Ion to prevent John from touching him.Victor knew very well that although he had become an officer, he was still a small person in the eyes of the big guys until he stood out from the Third Army.

Victor and Alexei returned to the dormitory to pack their luggage, only to find that Anton, a comrade from the same hometown, was still there.

Victor and Alexey pulled the heavy box and asked: "Everyone else has left, why are you still here?"

"Isn't it just to wait for you and Alexei!" Anton grinned. "Ku Ziming and the others are anxious to go back first. I thought that I would have to wait for you two to come back and say goodbye to you in person." He is a person who values ​​friendship.

"Besides, we are fellow villagers. We go home together and take care of each other."

"That's it." Victor suddenly realized that it seemed that these people were waiting for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.It seems that Alexei is not the only one who cares about the comradeship of the generals and brigade soldiers.

A few days later, several people took a train together and headed back to their hometown in the northeast.In addition to the backward horse manpower, we must not forget the trains and railways that symbolize progress.

Under Carol I, Romania's railway network underwent expansion and reconstruction.By the time Romania entered World War I in 1916, the total length of railways reached about 4,000 kilometers, and the density of the railway network was relatively complete.

……

Victor asked the two of them to sit together and asked: "It will probably take half a month before we can meet again in the military camp after returning home this time. What will you do after you return home? What are your plans for the future?"

"What else can I do, save money." Alexey felt a little discouraged when he thought of going home: "I have many brothers in my family, and several of my brothers have already separated their families one after another. If I had continued to be a policeman, I will probably inherit the land, but the little land my family owns is remote and barren and has little income. If I hadn’t met Victor at that time and begged Director Russ to write a letter to let me join the army... I might have stayed here for the rest of my life. This is a small county town and rural area.”

Anton said: "I am about the same...of course I will go back to my hometown to farm and work in the city." Then he talked a lot about it. Anton's family is the poorest among the three. The land was not only scarce but also barren. When I came to serve in the army, I just wanted to make a living, otherwise my family would hardly be able to eat bread.

During the competition, after Victor led the team to first place, he received a bonus, which really solved his urgent need to be short of money. That's why Anton was grateful to Victor and even took the initiative to stay in the dormitory and wait together. Set off.

But the problem came again. He was the only one among the three who was married. He came from a poor background, his family was poor, he had a lot of expenses, and his future was not very bright. After all the money was spent, he had to find another way to make a living.

Victor nodded, thoughtfully.

"Victor, what about you? What are your plans?" Alexey asked.

"I was just about to tell everyone." Victor smiled and told everyone about how Alexi called him to go shopping in the city yesterday, only to find out that the Romanian people launched a massive anti-Bulgar demonstration. G.

"So, Victor? Is this going to be another good thing?" Alexei scratched his head and asked, "Sir, does he have some new news?"

"Hey, don't say you guessed it right. There is really a great opportunity to make a fortune and achieve military success in the future. You and I here can participate. I have a hunch that war will break out again in the Balkans this summer, and Romania will also Join the war.”

Anton was shocked and his eyes widened: "If we can win, then wouldn't we, a group of people, be able to achieve military success, make a fortune, and even become officials? Then wouldn't the officer be able to become even more prosperous!"

Victor waved his hand quickly: "Don't say that. If you don't command well on the battlefield, it will really be a near-death deal. If you want to achieve military success, you must not only look at each person's true ability, but also consider the level of the commander. .”

Alexey said: "Victor, you have both talent, ability and reputation. You will definitely be qualified to serve as a battlefield commander!" After finishing speaking, he thought of his own future and couldn't help but feel a little envious in his eyes.

Victor saw their attitude. On the one hand, he was happy for him, but on the other hand, he was envious.

Seeing that both of them were yearning for it without any fear, it seemed that my idea might be realized.

So Victor stood up and whispered in their ears: "Brothers, actually, I have a bolder idea! The risk is high, but the reward is also greater!"
