Chapter 57

After introducing two bullet production lines to the military factory, Edel strengthened the production capacity of the military factory. Prepare to participate in the exercise organized by the army that has been reorganized this year.

　　 Within two days, Edel came to Iasi to watch the exercise of the 14th Division that had just been reorganized. The Chief of Staff Pleven and the head of the advisory group Ludendorff also watched the exercise with the crown prince.

　　 "General Turiaf, your soldiers are well trained." The Chief of Staff, who put down the telescope, told Polly Turiaf, the commander of the 14th Division.

"All this depends on His Royal Highness's concern for the army and the training plan formulated by the Chief of Staff. We are only training in accordance with the standards." As a senior officer, Polly Turiaf is not at all flattering. vague.

　　 "General Turiaf's training program, you are not grateful to me, but Ludendorff, so you are flattering the wrong way." Puleshan teased and pointed to Colonel Ludendorff to tell the truth.

　　 "The Chief of Staff is not my contribution alone. You added many of them. I dare not take the credit alone." Ludendorff was afraid to accept the Chief of Staff's teasing. After all, he is just an adviser, not a high-ranking Romanian army.

　　 "Well, you two can't just flatter each other. If the officer below sees it, he will drop his jaw." Edel was a little bit confused, and prevented the two of them from flattering each other.

　　 Although the crown prince stopped their flattery, Puleshan really admired Ludendorff. After getting along for more than three years, Puleshan was convinced by Ludendorff's shrewd insight and careful design. In the conversation with his friend Prossi, he often talked about Ludendorff's extraordinary staff ability.

　　 In the next exercise, it can be seen that General Turiaf, the commander of the 14th Division, still made hard work. Soldiers are well-versed in military skills and movements, and low-level officers have a thorough understanding of tactics, which are also reflected in the exercises.

　　 After the exercise, Edel spoke to Turiaf, the commander of the 14th Division. "General Turiaf's ability to train soldiers so well is a manifestation of your ability. I like capable people very much. I hope I can perform better in the next exercise."

　　 After speaking, he took the initiative to shake hands with him. Turiaf, who was praised by the crown prince, was also very happy in his heart. He knew that he had left a good impression in the heart of the crown prince and laid a solid foundation for future development in the army.

　　 "Please rest assured that the Fourteenth Division will have outstanding performance in the future."

　　 "I'll wait and see, General."

　　 After inspecting the 14th Division's exercises, Edel and his team got on the train and prepared to return to Bucharest. On the train, Ludendorff told the crown prince that the German General Staff would transfer them back to China in batches.

　　 "As a friend of Ludendorff, I want to ask if you really want to go back?" Edel hopes to make a stay.

　　 "His Royal Highness is very grateful for your importance to me. I am a soldier and it is my honor to serve the motherland." Ludendorff and Edel have been together for more than three years. Knowing what the crown prince wanted to say, he announced his decision in advance.

　　 "Well, I respect your decision. And you are right. It is an honor for everyone to work for the motherland." Edel sees it as inviolable, and can only have a good relationship with this genius general. Edel looked at Ludendorff and continued. "Then notify me when you leave, and I will see you off."

　　 "Thank you, Your Highness."

　　 Go back to what the Crown Prince of Bucharest said to the Chief Guard. "Let me investigate, who is the next head of the German advisory group."

　　 "Good lord."

　　Because the advisory group leader does not need to keep secrets, he can easily inquire if he wants to. Within two days, Carust put the result on Edel's table and attached a brief introduction to his life.

　　 Colonel Markenk von Sterry was born in a family of small landlords in East Prussia in 1867. He attended a juvenile military academy at the age of 13, and later graduated from the Noncommissioned Officer School. He enlisted in the army the following year and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant. Before coming to Romania, he was a deputy director in the third division of the General Staff Headquarters. He was a typical Junker officer of noble origin.

　　 "It seems that the German emperor really attaches great importance to Romania." The crown prince said after reading the information of Colonel Sterry.

　　 A week later, the officer who succeeded Ludendorff came to Romania. In a four-story building on Crudall Street, where the advisory group resides, Ludendorff is hosting a banquet for his colleague.

　　 "Street didn't expect you to replace me. I remember it's been almost 10 years since we first met." Ludendorff talked to Stree, who was sitting next to him, about the time they knew each other.

　　 "I remember the name I heard the most when I entered the General Staff. Except for the Chief of General Staff General Schlieffen, it was Ludendorff." Colonel Sterry said of Ludendorff's scenery at the time.

"General Schlieffen retired shortly after I came to Romania. I want to see him when I return home this time." Ludendorff remembered that he could do such a good job at the General Staff. appreciation.

"I heard that he is still perfecting the plan after retiring. I heard that this time he plans to add car transportation." Sterry whispered to Ludendorff, because he knew that Ludendorff helped Schlieffen many times to improve his plan. .

"I will help him improve the plan when I have time. In Romania, there is a fast mobile division equipped with 800 trucks. During the exercise, this division was twice as fast as the ordinary division. At this point, the Romanians came to us. ." Ludendorff talked about the current situation of the Romanian army.

　　 "I heard that the current chief of general staff, General Xiao Moqi, is also adding trucks to the army as a means of transportation." Sterry said of the actions of the current chief of general staff, General Xiao Maoqi. The newly appointed General Maoqi is also very interested in new things, but the current truck prices are too expensive, and now only a small amount of purchases can be used for logistics transportation.

　　 Two acquaintances sat together happily talking about the information of the past few years. Ludendorff also told Sterry about his experience in Romania. "In the Romanian army, Crown Prince Edel and General Prieshan, the chief of the general staff, are the people you must befriend. You need to pay attention to the Romanian army, the guard commander Brongat, and the principal of the military school Prosi..."

　　 "Thank you, Ludendorff." Sterry said to Ludendorff gratefully. He knew that this information could help him to do his work better~www.mtlnovel.com~ You're welcome. "

After spending two days handing over his work, Ludendorff prepared to take the train back to Berlin that morning. On the platform, many advisors officers came to see off. At this time, someone saw Puleshan and the crown prince also go. coming.

"Ludendorff, General Puleshan and I are very grateful for everything you have done for Romania. This gift counts as a little bit of our heart." Edel walked to Ludendorff and said, taking it from the head of the guard. A small box was handed to Ludendorff.

　　 "Thank your Highness and the Chief of Staff for being able to send me off." Ludendorff took the small box and said thank you.

　　 "Ludendorff, let's open it and take a look." General Plieshan reminded Ludendorff.

　　 Ludendorff opened the small box given by the crown prince and found that it was a medal. Ludendorff knew this medal. This is Romania's Gold Knight Medal, which is only awarded to Romania's own soldiers. Ludendorff has seen the Silver Knight Medal awarded three times in the past three years, and he has never seen gold once.

　　 "Your Highness, is this too heavy." Ludendorff felt a little heavy.

　　 "This is what you deserve. In this regard, the crown prince and I have the most say." General Plesan said to Ludendorff.

　　 "Thanks to the crown prince and generals for their importance to me." Ludendorff is not a hesitating person, besides, any soldier who does not value the medal will soon put it away.

　　 At that moment the train made a whine sound, the crown prince told Ludendorff. "It's almost time to get in the car, I hope you do better in Germany."

　　 Ludendorff boarded the train at the reminder of the crown prince. The crown prince and Puleshan waved to Ludendorff, who was standing in the window of the car, and watched the train slowly start to move further and further until the line of sight was gone.
