Romanian Eagle

Chapter 636: The naval shipbuilding plan code-named H

With the arrival of Edel in Bulgaria and aid funds from Romania, Bulgaria was immediately full of vitality.

   Although the current political forces headed by the People’s Party are still opposing Edel’s admission, with Prime Minister Kirsteff’s resolution, its momentum has long since fallen.

  The principle is very simple, whoever can provide them with food, who can provide them with work, they will support whoever. These are things that the opposition parties cannot give at all, but the Bulgarian government, which is supported by Romanian funds, can give it.

   As long as you don’t be lazy, you won’t be hungry. So busy figures can be seen everywhere in Bulgaria, some of them are working in the facilities of the irrigation canal and irrigation station, and some are working in the road or in the city. Despite some hard work, everyone has a look of hope on their faces.

   And all of this, as the Romanian Navy Minister, Admiral Lomodan couldn't feel it.

  Although Admiral Lomodan who took the train could not feel the earth-shaking changes in Bulgaria, at least he could still see the gap compared to the domestic ones.

   "Compared with the domestic, Bulgarian folk customs are more simple."

   Lo Modan compared the experiences of the two countries and gave a fair evaluation.

   Although he is praising the customs of Bulgaria, he still can't hide his worries from the depths of his eyes. Mainly because of the expansion of Romania's naval power, the United States, Britain, France and other countries have increasingly adopted Romania's attitude toward naval treaties.

   And besides Edel's summons when he rushed to Sophia this time, he also wanted to find out from his Majesty what his attitude was.

   For the Romanian Navy, Admiral Lomodan also broke his heart. But watching the battleships in the dock launch one after another, he felt that his hard work was not in vain. I also caught up with the good time, and I can see the rapid expansion of the Romanian navy. When I first entered the navy, Romania did not even have iron armored ships. The navy was full of old-fashioned warships with iron and wood structures, and there were only two or three thousand naval officers and soldiers. The largest battleship was also the training cruiser Elizabeth.

   This warship is also a gift from Germany to strengthen relations with Romania. Other ships are not torpedo boats of dozens of tons, or gunboats of hundreds of tons. Thinking about it, I feel pitiful.

   And now Romania is more capable of building the world's top battleships, and its thrown shells weigh ten tons at one time, making it the backbone of maritime power.

   So in order to ensure Romania’s maritime strength, then you must express your attitude. However, the degree must be mastered, otherwise it will restrict the development of the Romanian Navy. Admiral Lomodan didn't want it to be a means to restrict himself.

   The rumbling train drove Lomodan towards Sofia, and the thick smoke left by the train wafted in the mountains.

  ……

  The Sofia Railway Station has been busy during this time, because Bulgaria is everywhere in construction, so raw materials from Romania have been arriving here continuously.

   But today is a bit special. Many soldiers in military uniforms and weapons appeared in the train station. They protected the VIP passage of the railway station strictly, and many people were secretly guessing that a big man was coming to Sofia.

   And when some interested people saw King Horia, the chief guard of the king, also appeared on the platform waiting, these speculations became even more numerous. Some speculated that it was brought by the king's family, and some even speculated that it was the foreign royal family.

   But the people who eat melons speculate that Horia, who is the head of the bodyguard, is not clear, this time it is indeed a big shot. But this is not important to Horia. The most important thing is that his Majesty allows himself to meet him without any mistakes, so he turned his head to look at the person in charge of the guard work beside him.

   The person in charge who was stared at by Horia quickly answered. "Don't worry, our guards will not let you down."

   When facing the officer in charge who led the team, Horia said lightly. "Your Excellency, how can I worry about doing things. Everything is overworked."

   After following Edel for a long time, Horia slowly learned that Edel’s indifferent body was really black. And his attitude is neither too close nor uncomfortable, just right.

   And these guards formed by the most loyal people drawn from the Edel’s Guard are also Edel’s most assured troops. The main responsibility is to protect the safety of Edel in Bulgaria. By the way, he has also become a force to counter the military with the armed police.

   "Woo woo woo"

   The whistle of a train coming into the station announced another train coming into the station, and the addition of a distinctive carriage at the rear also refreshed him.

   After waiting for the train to stop, I saw from the window that it was the person I was waiting for, Minister Admiral Lomodan.

   When the gray-haired admiral was about to get out of the car, Horia immediately greeted him.

   "Your Excellency, welcome to Bulgaria."

   Lomodan smiled and nodded in response to the personal greet by the chief guard next to Edel.

   "Your Excellency Youlao personally greeted me, this terrible old man."

   Facing Lomodan's self-deprecation, how dare Horia take it. "Your admiral is not old at all, at least you can guarantee the development of the navy for ten years. Moreover, you can only guarantee the stability of coastal defense if you are in the navy, so you must not say that you are old."

   Listening to Horia’s praise, even though he knew that Xiao Xiao was flattering himself, Romodan still laughed and made him forget the troubles during the journey. There are not many people in Romania who can be treated like this by the Chief Guard, even adding Bulgaria is just one hand.

   "Your Majesty must have been busy these days."

  Admiral Lomodan suddenly turned the topic to Edel.

   In the face of the admiral's inquiry, Horia truthfully reported. "Yes, Your Majesty is busy in Bulgaria. In addition to receiving Bulgarian people from all over, it is to inspect the actual situation in various places."

  Horia should be regarded as leaking Edel's whereabouts, but he can say to General Lomodan as long as it does not specifically need to conceal information. After all, these whereabouts are reported in Bulgarian newspapers, and it is not a leak.

"How is it going?"

   And Horia’s answer aroused the curiosity of the Secretary of the Navy.

   Facing Lomodan’s question, Horia shook his head and replied. "Not too good~lightnovelpub.net~ Compared with Romania, the gap between the two is more than ten years, and..."

   Horia went on and on. "Bulgaria has too many mountains in the country, and its agricultural foundation is destined to be incomparable with Romania. However, with the large-scale construction of bonds issued by the government, it will slowly catch up."

   Of course this is just a rhetoric from Horia. He heard the report from Prime Minister Kelstef to Edel that Bulgarian agriculture can at best not be hungry, and it is doomed to be impossible to develop and grow. Its natural terrain defects can only take the small farm economy, and it is impossible to cultivate on the large farms of Romania. But in this case, he didn't dare to spread the word, otherwise he wouldn't have a good fruit.

   And after Romodan asked, there was no more text. Instead, said. "Since your Majesty is waiting for my arrival, then don't waste time, take me to see your Majesty first."

   Hearing Lomodan's words, Horia hurriedly said. "Don't you take a break? We have already prepared a place to rest. Taking a break can meet your Majesty in a better state."

  Horia knows that traveling can be exhausting. Although your admiral sits alone, it is still impossible to rest well, and your admiral is so old.

   "No, I have already rested on the train."

   Lomodan didn't care at all when faced with the chief guard's concern.

   "Well, Admiral, please follow me in the car, let's go to the palace."

   Facing Lomodan's insistence, Horia's head guard could only take him to see Edel first.
