Romanian Eagle

In the face of what happened in the new territory, Edel did not know everything, and this strategy basically came from his hands. Now facing the increasingly intense atmosphere of war, he just wants to make Romania, a small Balkan country, ready in advance as soon as possible.

This news is really surprising.

Edel took the information he had just obtained and spoke to the captain of the bodyguard, Carust.

Carust also said in disbelief. Yes, Your Highness, I didn't expect that the United Kingdom would propose a 'navy holiday' proposal to suspend the construction of warships for one year. And this proposal was proposed by the British Secretary of the Navy. This is really surprising, isn't it?

In fact, it is not only Carrust who thinks this way. Most people in Europe now have the image of Britain that was in full swing in the Victorian era. In fact, most people were blinded by the glorious image of Britain before, which can be seen from its shipbuilding plan for the 1913 fiscal year.

From fiscal year 1913 onwards, the Royal Navy made plans for the construction of 8 Vengeance-class superdreadnoughts (5 actually built, 2 converted to battlecruisers, and 1 cancelled). However, compared with its predecessor, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, the Vengeance-class battleship has a considerable backwardness in technology: the full-load displacement has dropped by 500 tons, the speed has dropped to 23 knots, and the endurance has dropped from 8,600 nautical miles to 4,200 nautical miles. Obviously, this not only reduces the cost, but also meets the requirements of the Royal Navy to fight the German Navy in the North Sea.

And Eder vaguely remembers that in World War I, Britain concentrated all its main dreadnoughts on the mainland to deal with the German navy. Then the Mediterranean Sea should have been jointly taken over by the French and Italian navies. In fact, the allies lacking the Italian navy had absolutely no room to play in the Mediterranean Sea. The combined strength of the four ships of Austria-Hungary is not enough for the French family to fight, not to mention the addition of Italy. The Allied countries that have mastered the ocean are actually invincible. The four-year-old World War I can rely on Germany's powerful army, which is why Edel is reluctant to join.

Regarding the results of the original time and space Romania's participation in the war in 1916, the Crown Prince now believes that 1918 is actually a good time to seize the best interests for Romania. Austria-Hungary was dying, Tsarist Russia had been overthrown, and Red Russia had signed the Treaty of Brest to withdraw from World War I and was busy with the civil war. The two countries that threatened Romania the most for a while have collapsed, and Romania can take advantage of this time period to snatch the heritage of these two countries, and then concentrate on dealing with the power from the red.

Thinking of this, Edel suddenly remembered a piece of news that has spread widely in later generations, that is Kolchak Gold. Kolchak was born into a noble family in St. Petersburg. He graduated from the St. Petersburg Naval School in 1894 and participated in battles at Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War.

In 1916 he was appointed commander of the Black Sea Fleet. Promoted to Admiral in 1917. In 1918, he served as the Minister of the Army and Navy of the Siberian Government, and then launched a coup with the support of foreign armed forces, established a military dictatorship, and proclaimed himself the supreme ruler of Russia and the supreme commander of the Russian army and navy armed forces. Then he became the commander-in-chief of the White Guards when the Allies first intervened in Soviet Russia, and once occupied Siberia, the Urals and the Volga River. Captured after being defeated by the Red Army in late 1919, executed in Irkutsk in 1920. Now seems to be the captain of the mine team in the Baltic Sea.

As for the about 600 tons of gold he owned in the original time and space, it came from the Russian Reserve Bank in Kazan. Because of the brave performance of the German army in World War I, Tsar Nicholas II ordered most of Russia's gold reserves to be transferred. Transfer to Kazan, located in the middle of the Volga River. It has always been the rear of Russia, with convenient transportation and rich products nearby.

Kolchak found the gold from the Reserve Bank after he captured Kazan in 1918, and he transferred the gold to his Siberian capital, Omtsk.

As for some people in the original time and space who said that the gold was transferred here by the Soviet government,

Edel has always sneered. Nearly 600 tons of gold, if the Soviet government really knew, could have been transported by a train within half a day, where would it be left to Kolchak. This is gold hard currency worth more than 80 million pounds now, and it is completely possible to build a new German high seas fleet. Thinking of the financial difficulties of the Soviet Russian government in the early stage, it is completely unknown.

Thinking of this batch of gold now worth more than 80 million pounds, Edel thinks he should do something about it. However, considering that the place where gold is usually stored is closely guarded, then you need to prepare in advance.

Thinking of this, Eder couldn't sit still. This is Romania's financial income for four years now. If you can put this money into Romania, you can do a lot of things.

Calust, go and call Milok over, I need him to do something.

Okay, Your Highness.

Hearing that the crown prince got the British proposal to stop the one-year naval holiday, and suddenly asked for the intelligence chief Milok, he did not think much, and immediately agreed. I didn't know that Edel's thinking would spread so fast, and I thought about the Russian Civil War.

While Edel waited patiently, Milok, who looked ordinary and unattractive at all, was sitting in his office thinking about his future. Although the sun is shining outside, it still looks dark in his office because of the thick curtains.

He has done a lot of things for the old king and knows too much that he did not retire. He could only work in this position until he died of old age. Now the crown prince rarely uses them, and usually asks his chief guard to do it. This makes Milok deeply worried. If you know that an intelligence department is not used, then it will not be too far away from disbanding. Others estimate that they will change departments at most, and no one knows what will happen to them in the end.

When Milok was thinking about his way out, a subordinate walked in and said softly. Head, the man named Carust is here. He said that the crown prince summoned you.

Due to Edel's relationship, the royal family now has two intelligence departments, and most of the party led by Milok is not used by the crown prince, so the relationship between the two intelligence agencies is known from the tone of Milok's subordinates .

Although he was worried about his future, Milok would not show it in front of his subordinates, he said in a flat tone without a trace of emotion. Please come in.

PS Some people actually don't keep up with the new because I haven't updated and I'm in a low mood. This excuse is terrible. I strongly despise those authors who don't update.
