Chapter 110

Time flies quickly, and it was the end of 1911 in a blink of an eye.

　　 After patrolling the army, Edel lived with his wife Sophie Marie.

　　 In the meantime, he also went to Constanta from the head to show concern for the two former maids who had been left out in the cold. This care almost prevented Edel from getting out of bed. If it weren't for his health, he would have to be supported back to Bucharest. It seems that the two maids resented him a lot, which made Edel's way of sleeping together a bit bumpy.

　　 At the end of the year, Edel is watching the latest situation of the Italian-Turkish war. The current situation in Libya has made Italy a little difficult to overcome, the Ottoman army is not difficult to deal with, but the local people have a lot of resistance to the Italian invasion. Moreover, the invasion of North Africa by the Italian army aroused opposition from Arab countries. The guerrillas and volunteers of Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and other Arab countries fought bravely against the invaders, which caused heavy losses to the Italian army.

　　 Now Italy can only barely guard the cities on the coastline when it increases its troops. The vast inland areas have no place for them.

　　 This greatly increased the cost of war in Italy from 300,000 Italian lire per month to 800,000 lire per month (lira and leu are both one to one).

　　 Edel saw the latest Italian intelligence, which allowed him to see the dilemma of the Italian army in North Africa. It is estimated that Italy can only find breakthroughs elsewhere, and there is no good way in Libya. These local tribal armed forces are nomads, with a large number of horses and camels, which makes Italy's infantry-based army can only sigh.

　　 Just when Edel looked at the Italian dilemma. After the captain of the guard Carust knocked on the door, he walked in with a document in his hand.

　　 "Your Highness, this is Romania's economic report this year."

　　 "Thanks for your hard work."

　　 Edel took the report, thanked his chief guard, and began to read it.

　　In this Romanian economic data, the gross national product (GDP) reached 5.53 billion lei this year, an increase of 7.8% from last year's 5.13 billion lei and a slowdown of 0.2%.

　　The main reason is that Volkswagen, the leader in the automobile manufacturing industry, has a lower car share than before. From the previous European market share of 80% dropped to 76%, it can be seen from this that other countries will not allow Volkswagen to conquer cities in Europe. A large amount of capital has been invested in the automobile manufacturing industry. Although Volkswagen has this artifact of the Model T, it is still gradually giving up market share.

　　 However, the reduction in share is not because Volkswagen's production volume has decreased. In fact, this year's production volume has reached another 120,000. It's just that cars in the European market have begun to spread, because cars have begun to enter thousands of households. At present, it is not possible to make one car for one ordinary family, but one car for twenty households can still be expected.

　　 However, in Romania's deep processing of grain, the export value is steadily increasing, thanks to the extensive use of tractors in agriculture. This data shows that the number of domestic tractors in Romania has increased from zero to nearly 20,000 in one year. Now that the machinery factory in Ploiesti has undergone a year of expansion, it is already a large factory with 20,000 employees. Now they can produce 120 tractors a day, and the demand is still in short supply. Europe and the country need such products that can liberate labor and improve agricultural production efficiency.

　　It's not that other countries haven't thought about imitation, but the time is too short and the technology content is much higher than that of cars, so that tractors from other countries have not yet appeared, so I can only watch Romania eat alone. It should be pointed out here that the price of tractors sold in Europe has also increased, from 180 pounds per unit sold to 200 pounds. Tractors have now become another great weapon for Romania's exports, making other countries the envy of them.

　　 The agricultural area in Romania this year has increased by 110,000 hectares compared with last year, reaching 6.24 million hectares. This is the result of a decline in the agricultural population of 50,000, which is what Edel is most happy about. This shows that Romania's agriculture is gradually turning to mechanization. It shows that his thinking is correct. I believe that Romania's agricultural mechanization will speed up the process after the outbreak of the first station.

　　 However, with the use of various internal combustion engines in Romania, this year's oil exports have declined. Romania's export volume of refined oil and panbiotics was only 201 million lei this year, which is 12 million lei less than the previous year. This is the result of domestic consumption. Mr. Smith, the general manager of the Romanian Petroleum Company, has applied to the Crown Prince to expand the scale of crude oil extraction and increase refining capacity. And Edel has approved his plan, intending to increase Romania's annual oil production to 2 million tons, and the refinery capacity to 1.8 million tons.

　　In terms of imports, Romania still saw an increase in machine imports this year. Now many people in China see the benefits of industrialization, and a large number of people are looking for funds to set up related companies~www.mtlnovel.com~ You set up a grain deepening processing plant in the grain planting area to produce canned flour, and I am mining in potash mines. The district does supporting business. The industrialization atmosphere in Romania is now very good, which is what Edel would like to see.

　　 According to the latest information, there are more than 80,000 small and medium-sized enterprises in Romania, most of which are called on relatives and friends to work together. There are only more than 5,000 employees with more than 50 employees, only more than 400 employees with more than 200 employees, only 65 companies with more than 500 employees, only 13 companies with more than 1,000 employees, and no company with more than 3,000 employees. .

　　 There are only seven state-owned or royal companies in Romania, including Constanta Steel Plant, Volkswagen Company, Ploiesti Instrument Plant, and Romanian Petroleum Company. Among them, royal enterprises occupy most of the shares, which is one of the reasons why the government is suppressed by the royal family. There are far more people eating in the royal bowls than in the government bowls, and they all know that they have to listen to the boss, otherwise they will have no food.

　　 The Romanian Army has also completed training this year, and it is considered a regional hegemon after the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Balkans. The navy has also added new warships. Although it is not as good as Greece, it is not a problem to coerce Bulgaria.

　　 After reading the summary in his hand, Edel thought in his heart that Romania's national strength can be said to be thriving. This is also his confidence in the partition of the Ottoman European territory. He is not bordered by the Ottoman Empire, but who can ignore his opinions?

　　 Now he waits for the Balkan countries to come to the door when they can't stand it, and they turn a blind eye to Romania. They are all leaders of various countries, and they all have this common sense.
