Romanian Eagle

Chapter 617 The arrival of one thousand nine hundred and thirty-four

For more than a year, Hitler continued to purge the destabilizing factor Roma, disbanding the SA in exchange for military support for the party.

In Romania, Eder continued to vigorously develop the economy and at the same time increased the development of new weapons. The Romanian economy developed rapidly during the year, with an annual growth rate of 784. A large number of goods are dumped to neighboring countries, and ship after ship full of goods are shipped to other regions.

Among them, the implementation of the Far East military reorganization plan has greatly increased Romania's arms exports. This was approved by the Chancellor by drawing up a plan for the reorganization of their national army by Lieutenant General Modelk and Admiral Seekert.

Regarding the early appearance of Admiral Seekert in the Far East, Romania is credited with it. The German side will naturally not sit still when it sees Romania encroaching on its military domain in the region. Although the two countries have good relations in Europe, the German side will not be reconciled when it comes to the Far East market and important raw material importers. They have dispatched several batches of military delegations to try to regain their military influence in the country, but with little success. Finally, the German government sent its own ace, General Seekert, to gradually suppress the penetration of Romania's military influence.

After all, Admiral Seekert is well-known in the reorganization of the army, and Modelk is indeed inferior to the other party in ability, unless Romania sends Marshal Prieshan or General Feleit, the chief of staff. However, it is a pity that Marshal Prieshan is not in good health and cannot travel far, and Feleit is the active chief of the general staff. He is too busy with Romania's military reform. How can he go to the Far East. So in the end it was the Germans who had the upper hand in the military regiment.

According to the plan of the latest Army Reform Proposal, a total of 60 divisions across the country are called reorganization divisions, and they are reorganized according to the suggestions of the two countries.

Among them, since Romania has exported several batches of ordnance to it, the plan intends to concentrate on using these remaining ordnance, and then purchase some ordnance to complete the reorganization of the first six divisions. Because many of the ordnance of this first batch of divisions were adjusted from other units, they were also called adjustment divisions.

Each of these six divisions has jurisdiction over an artillery battalion, a chariot defense artillery company, and an anti-aircraft artillery company, and the regiment directly subordinates an infantry artillery company and a small artillery company. Its entire division has 11,423 people (wild artillery horse-drawn division) or 11,579 (mountain artillery and horse-drawn division), equipped with 12 wild (mountain) artillery, 24 small artillery, 24 82 mortars, 74 heavy machine guns, 336 light machine guns.

These units are called adjustment divisions, which are characterized by a mixed system of 9 infantry companies, and the addition of light machine guns to the squads; the original regiment mortars belonged to each battalion as a platoon to enhance the firepower of tactical units; the original battalion belonged to small artillery The platoons are concentrated into companies, under the direct jurisdiction of the regiment, as a firepower for war.

As for the advanced reorganization plan of Dero's mechanic, many weapons and equipment were purchased from Romania because of Romania's involvement. (Because Romania is starting to change its clothes, the price of export arms is relatively cheap)

So in 1933 Romania exported to the Far East, more than 17,000 g98l (the Romanian improved version was similar to the 1924 version of the Mauser rifle), and more than 16,000 bullets. 3,000 zb26 light machine guns, 24 37mm anti-tank guns, and 48 75mm mountain and field guns. There are also a batch of gas masks, radio stations, field telephones, and other military supplies.

This batch of arms purchase contracts worth nearly 50 million US dollars uses domestic specialties such as tungsten, zinc, tin and other combat readiness materials as funds for the purchase. Romania was one step ahead of Germany and began to prepare for war. Moreover, Romania has gradually updated its equipment through arms sales to the Far East.

In addition, the first fighter prototype requested by the military also made its maiden flight at Coanda Aircraft Manufacturing Company. This new aircraft uses a lot of pioneering technology, using a series of advanced technologies such as retractable landing gear and all-metal structure, so that this new aircraft can fly at a speed of 467 kilometers per hour. The modified aircraft adopts a single wing under the cantilever, and adopts more straight-line modifications in appearance.

In terms of structure, it reasonably chooses high-strength thin aluminum plates and precision die-casting parts.

The wing load of the aircraft is 170 kg square meters, the aspect ratio is 6065, the vertical tail is semi-circular, and the horizontal tail is rectangular, in order to ensure a larger angle of attack in level flight.

The performance of the prototype made the military very satisfied, and then began to further optimize it by Coanda Aircraft Manufacturing Company. Strive to make this fighter a world-leading existence in the future.

In addition, the development of radio reconnaissance equipment (radar) jointly developed by Romania and Italy is also progressing smoothly. At present, with sufficient funds, the personnel of the two countries have basically solved the impact of severe weather and environment, and also initially solved the problems of high-power heat dissipation. It is believed that the radars of the two countries in the future will not be later than others, and researchers of the two countries are convinced of this.

Of course, these military studies are still ongoing, but Romania has also made new contributions in the military. In view of the performance of the armored division in the local war against the Soviet Union, Romania established a new armored division, the second armored division.

The establishment of the Second Armored Division has also made other countries see Romania's emphasis on armored troops, and many domestic generals are eager to compete for the division commander. In order to compete for the position of the division commander, many generals expressed their opinions on the armored forces during this period.

Moreover, the movement of the current three giants of the military has reached a very frequent level, and even the last one is waiting outside the door before the next one. Even Marshal Priest, who was unwell, was troubled by the visits of these people. However, in the end, the commander of the division fell to Jan Antonescu, deputy commander of the cavalry division, which surprised many Ren.

Speaking of which, Major General Antonescu has his own advantages as the commander of the Second Armored Division. First of all, the cavalry division and the armored division have something in common in the way of fighting, and secondly, Major General Antonescu's own ability is also outstanding, and he also has an advantage in age. In addition, he is a good friend with Lieutenant General Hoffman, who led the development of the Romanian armored force.

Therefore, after careful analysis, it is not surprising that he served as the commander of the Second Armored Division. However, the second armored division has just begun to form, and it is full of new recruits, which is also a huge test for it. If he does not do well, I believe that many people are willing to take his place.

As for other projects that are still in the intense research and development process, there is no good news yet. However, some media from countries such as Britain and France claimed that the newly built battleships in Romania were seriously exceeding the standard, and they did not look like 35,000-ton battleships at all. For this kind of news, the Romanian government has made a just-worded criticism. The Romanian battleship is completely in line with the Washington Naval Treaty. I hope these tabloids will not make random guesses.

In any case, Romania spent 1933 at a time when the continent was getting busier.
