While the little man was fighting for his own fate, Eder was inspecting the 10th Division, which had just been reorganized, with Preshan.

As the hardest hit area of the army's conspiracy that year, only the division commander of the 10th Division participated in the operation that year. However, there were not a few officers who fell in corruption, which made Major General Yakcha, who took over the division commander at that time, also a headache. After four years of rectification, coupled with the strong support of Principal Prossi in the distribution of officers, he has finally done a good job.

"Your Highness, please see, this is a soldier conducting a shooting drill." Pointing to the soldiers who were shooting, the division commander Yaqta said to the crown prince and the chief of the General Staff.

Both of them looked in the direction of his finger, and a platoon of soldiers was doing shooting training such as standing, lying down, and moving.

The soldiers were in standard posture, but they both shook their heads as they picked up their binoculars to check their results. The results were worse than those of the previous divisions, which was also shown when the results were checked later. When Commander Jacques saw this report card, he felt that his face could not be hung up.

"I've disappointed Your Highness, I will definitely let you see the new Tenth Division next time."

"Commander Jacquessa, I know the situation of the Tenth Division, I don't blame you, the training needs to be strengthened." Edel told him.

The chief of the General Staff, Pressan, had already told him that it would not be feasible to reorganize this year if the cost of reorganization was exactly the same as in previous years. The reorganized army needs training to ensure combat effectiveness, plus the cost of purchasing weapons, so the 10th, 14th, and 17th divisions that have been reorganized will have their training expenses reduced this year. Eder had known about this for a long time, and the old prime minister had already said it when he helped the prime minister issue government bonds.

Romania's fiscal revenues have now grown from 252 million lei in 1905 to 451 million lei in 1909 (50 million lei higher than in history). Among them, oil exports and automobile manufacturing accounted for 41.3% of the increased tax revenue, and were the absolute main force of Romania's fiscal revenue. The rest was obtained by the increase in corporate taxation, commercial taxation, import and export duties, and inheritance tax, and the increase in traditional agricultural taxation was not too small, but from 87.4 million lei in 1905 to 96.14 million lei

However, Romania also saw rapid growth in expenditures, including 27 million lei in annual repayments, and 61.57 million lei in 1909 in infrastructure such as roads, docks, railway stations, and waterways, which was due to Romania's weak infrastructure. Expenditure on public security and health care in 1909 was 47.6 million lei. In 1909, 86,400,000 lei were spent on education, and 35,900,000 lei were spent on government offices.

At present, the bulk of the financial expenditure on military expenditure is 97.1 million lei, of which the navy spends 10.75 million lei, and the army spends 86.35 million, which can fully see the focus of Romania's national defense, in the army, the salary of personnel is 15.67 million lei, the training cost is 18.7 million, the procurement of weapons and equipment is 34.7 million lei, the procurement of other equipment is 10.78 million lei, and the remaining more than 6 million lei is ordinary living expenses.

In terms of specific training expenses, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the 10 divisions that have been reorganized before, it is certainly not possible to reduce the amount of training, and this year's training funds are only so much, so we can only reduce the expenses of the three reorganized divisions.

From this, it can be seen that military spending accounts for 21.5 percent of fiscal revenue, while army expenditure accounts for 19.1 percent, and this year's procurement of weapons and equipment accounts for 40 percent of the army's expenditure. It can be expected that with the completion of the reorganization of the army this year, the government will breathe a sigh of relief, even if it has to pay Germany more than 17 million lei a year, which is much stronger than it is now. At least the loss of weapons is not as large as the amount of procurement, 10 million lei a year is not bad.

Eder and Presan also fully saw in the subsequent exercises that the lack of training funds still had a great impact on the 10th Division. It is particularly prominent in the technical arms, among which the artillery shooting results can be regarded as the worst in the previous years of reorganization, and the machine gun shooting results are not much better. This made Eder and Preshan also secretly hurt themselves, and the division commander Jacques was about to shed tears when he saw it.

"General Yakcha, don't be discouraged if the results of this drill are not satisfactory. I can give you a year and make it up next year. Chief of the General Staff Preshan said to the hapless division commander.

"Thanks to the trust of the Chief of the General Staff, I will definitely show excellent results next year and regain the face I lost today." The commander of the Yakecha division hurriedly assured Prishan.

"Well, I'll come back to see your drill next year, if it's still so bad, I'll be punished."

When Commander Yakecha heard Prishan's words, he spoke in a hurry in his heart. "Please rest assured, Chief of General Staff, if it is so bad next year, I will resign and leave."

"Well, next year depends on your good grades."

After Prishan finished speaking, he got into the car and left with Crown Prince Eder who was standing on the side, leaving Yacquetsa, who was secretly ruthless in his heart, it is conceivable that the officers and soldiers of the 10th Division must have a hard time this year, what is the matter with the crown prince and the chief of the general staff, who told you that you can't get a good report card.

Prishan, who was sitting in the car, spoke to the crown prince. "Your Highness, I'm so sorry for letting you watch a bad drill."

"The Chief of the General Staff does not have to do this, I know that it is not your responsibility. The main reason is that the fiscal revenue is not enough to support it, so that there is the current result. Edel comforted Prishan. The crown prince himself did not expect such an obvious result of the shortage of training funds, the previous prime minister's complaints, let the crown prince know the government's financial suffering, and now the performance of the army let him know the importance of training.

It is no wonder that the armies of several major powers can show overwhelming superiority in the face of the armies of other countries with the same equipment. This is all the role of training, and in the case that the cost of a 75 artillery shell is more than ten lei, the cost of training is also directly related to combat effectiveness. Now the weapons and equipment are becoming more and more advanced, and the requirements for personnel are also getting higher and higher. To reach the level of the great powers, given the level of the people, it was impossible for the Romanian army to achieve without a lot of training. (Except for the Russian army, which is the presence of volume.) ）

"Thank Your Highness for your understanding, I will pay attention to this situation in the future to avoid recurrence."

For General Presan Eder was still satisfied with his performance in the position of Chief of the General Staff. Although there are some minor problems, it doesn't hurt, and who can not have a little problem.

The two returned to Bucharest by car, and sure enough, the 14th and 17th Divisions that followed had these problems. This made Edel sigh, this is really no money, and he really can't do anything.
