Chapter 6
The next day, news about Prince Edel's approachability and gentleness spread from Ploiesti. This is a very popular character for ordinary people. For the nobles and officials, Edel is still a piece of floating ice under the water. No one can know the style of the crown prince in detail. Edel stayed in Ploiesti for three days, letting the people here fully feel his approachable and gentle side. There are also preliminary images of this city.
Three days later, Edel, who returned to Bucharest, saw General Prieshan who had returned. Edel gave a good evaluation of the old general's trip to Denmark, and he was a good commander.
"Carust sent someone to investigate whether there are any flight experiments in our country." Edel looked at the newspaper in his hand and said to his head of the bodyguard. "Okay Your Highness." The chief guard replied simply.
Why did I forget this? Looking at today's newspaper, Edel was quite speechless to himself. I saw a report in today's newspaper called The Prospect of Future Flight. It said that after the successful flight of the Wright Brothers two years ago, there are successful flight cases in all countries in the world. Looking forward to the future, with the development of aircraft, manned Travel becomes feasible.
Edel regrets that he forgot about the appearance of the plane, but now he can quickly develop as long as the capital investment is enough. Now the first thing I need to develop is the engine. Fortunately, the engine is still very simple. Unlike later generations that require a large country to continue to invest in large amounts, private investment is all right now. It doesn't matter if Edel feels late when he thinks of this.
In the evening, Edel had dinner with King Carol and his wife. "Edel, you have done well recently, and I am very happy in my heart." Carol I said to Edel in a very relieved tone. "Father, I just do things better." Edel said modestly. "Edel, I intend to let you participate in the management of the army. Father is old and lacking energy. You have to take over my work gradually. The army is the basis of your rights."
The next day King Carol asked General Prieshan to take Edel to the War Department. "The crown prince now has 10 army divisions and one guard division in the Romanian military, with a total of 298,000 personnel. The main distribution is 6 divisions against Russia. There are 4 divisions on the border and 2 divisions. One of them is our only cavalry division. Hungary has 3 divisions and 1 Bulgarian division. The guards are stationed in Bucharest to defend the capital." The crown prince heard about 27,000 people in each division and felt that this was too bloated. We must know that the German army has only 17,000 divisions, France has almost 16,000, and Britain has 18,000. Russia is not fixed, but it is between 16,000 and 21,000.
Nowadays, most of the armed forces use the 1895 type of Sharriman rifles, some 1888 type rifles, even the type 1871, the artillery is mainly small caliber, there are almost no heavy artillery. If it weren't for Edel to go to Germany to sign the payment for the machine gun, it would be too small for a single battalion to do. Seeing this made Edel, who was determined to seek the best interests in World War I, felt that his task was very difficult. Now the primary goal is to strengthen the army, and it is still time for the help of the German advisory group. Needless to say, the performance of Germany in World War I. But now we can only wait for Ludendorff and the others to finish the inspection, the unknown group leader was completely ignored by Edel.
Edel, who knew the preliminary situation of the army, returned to the palace and saw his head guard approaching. "His Royal Highness, I learned that there is a young man named Henry Coanda doing this experiment in China."
"I want to see him." Edel said to his head guard.
I saw Edel the next day, who happened to be Henry Coanda sponsored by Bucharest. Henry Coanda paid much attention to Edel's summoning, and he knew why the crown prince summoned himself Henry Coanda. In addition to being able to build flying machines, other crown princes will not be interested. If the crown prince can be persuaded to fund himself, then he will no longer have to worry about funding.
"I have seen your Royal Highness." Henry Coanda said after saluting Edel. "I heard you can build a flying machine?" Edel asked. "Yes, flying has always been the desire of mankind. Now we have initially been able to fly to the sky. In the near future, people will travel by flying vehicles. In the future, you don't need to take a train or ship to London. As long as an aircraft can take you there. , Let you go out in the morning and arrive in the afternoon. Of course, this requires a little development, but I believe that with some financial help, I can build such a flying machine." Watching the great goal talked in front of me Henry Coanda. It seems that this aviator has been flickering everywhere, and no one knows the future development of aircraft better than Edel.
"I decided to fund your research of 20,000 pounds per year in the future. The goal is to fly longer, longer and higher. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Edel interrupted Henry Coanda's speech, if not interrupted. It is estimated that an aviator can talk all morning. "Thanks to your generous Royal Highness, I will definitely create works that will surprise you." Henry Coanda said overjoyed. He thought that the crown prince would fund it, but he didn't expect so much. Can you make works that surprise me? The flying saucer is almost the same, after coming here, the experienced Edel thought in his heart. Unexpectedly, I was really surprised by this guy in front of me later.
In the afternoon, Edel was walking in the garden and saw a maid approaching and telling him that the queen was looking for him. "What's wrong with mother?" Edel came to Queen Elizabeth. "Edel, you are almost growing up, my mother arranged for you two maids to clean the room." Queen Elizabeth said to Edel. Seeing two young and beautiful maids walked in outside the door, Edel saw in his eyes, thinking that he really came. The king had said before that he would arrange for his maid to go to bed. As a man, Edel had no reason to refuse.
"I have seen the Queen and His Royal Highness." The two maids said after saluting Edel and Queen Elizabeth. "From now on, you are responsible for following the crown prince and managing his daily life." Queen Elizabeth said to the two maids in front of her. "Edel, take them back." When he returned to his palace, Edel asked, "What is your name." "His Royal Highness, my name is Kariluna." The left side was sweet, with long blond hair and brown eyes, and a pair of slender. The thigh, slender girl like a model answered the crown prince. "His Royal Highness, my name is Emina." On the right hand side, there are blue eyes and long eyelashes, which are gentle and pleasant. They have brown hair and a lordotic body. Especially the chest Edder visually inspected at least 34 and didn't know what to eat. Both of them bowed their heads shyly after speaking. It seems that the queen had taught them what to do.
