After inspecting the armoured experimental camp in Constanta, Admirals Eder and Prisan went to Klerlasi, the nearest to the area, where the Danube, which had raised the Romanians, was divided into two tributaries, where they would meet again at Djurdjeny, 85 kilometres downstream, and then plunge into the Black Sea after irrigating numerous Romanian farmlands and providing drinking water for the people.

As a result of last year, six divisions were formed at once, and the 21st Infantry Division, one of which was formed, was trained here. In a small town called Rosezi, near Kăıraşi, the division headquarters of the 21st Infantry Division was stationed here. Today, Major General Andokos, together with the deputy division commander and chief of staff, accompanied Eder and the chief of the general staff, Prissan, to inspect his troops.

Major General Andokos was the deputy commander of the 5th Division before that, and after losing the competition for the commander of the 15th Division, he was just in time for the great expansion of the army. In the face of the new establishment of six divisions, some of his deficiencies suddenly became less obvious, so it was logical to become the coveted division commander this time.

However, in the face of the expansion of six divisions in just one year, the Romanian military industry could not be kept busy. Even if the army's stockpiles were taken out, they could only achieve a full complement of light weapons, which was the result of Romania's abundant finances after the outbreak of the war in Europe. So the 21st Infantry Division currently has vacancies for 4 75 field guns and 6 105 howitzers, which are being produced overtime in the arsenal.

In fact, this problem is not only the 21st Division, but also the 6 new divisions that have more or less this result. Only the 16 divisions that were formed and trained before the war (14 divisions in the big reorganization and 2 divisions that were trained in 13 years) have been fully equipped, and the six divisions formed last year are now in a big shortfall. Therefore, this year's recruitment work requires more effort from General Courtois of the War Department.

That's right, General Courtois is still serving as Minister of the Army. Since Eder's succession to the throne, many "civil politicians" have been predicting when Admiral Courtois, who is the old king's confidant, will retire. Only the henchmen around Eder knew that nothing else was possible except that Admiral Courtois was really physically unable to bear the work.

Since the new king did not intend to replace him, Eder now needed Admiral Courtois to stand in front of the stage and co-opt his father's former forces in the army, and would not consider considering it until he was fully integrated into his own forces. So General Courtois, after the new king of the Eder people, instead took up the work of the War Department from scratch.

"Major General Andokos, your soldiers are well trained."

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Eder complimented Major General Andokos beside him. Eder was watching the 21st Division's platoon-level infantry attack drill, although the officers and soldiers were not particularly skilled, but they were also presentable, as long as they continued to practice, it would be another strong force of the Romanian army. This is also because Eder has inspected a lot and has his own understanding of the results of the exercises of the officers and men. He wouldn't have dared to say that when he had just started, it would have been a big joke if he had said it wrong.

In the face of Eder's compliment, Major General Andokos had a smile on his face, but he still spoke modestly. "This is all the efforts of all the officers and soldiers themselves, and we just send the training task to us."

It wasn't the first time that Major General Andokos had faced Eder, he had met him several times when Eder was still the crown prince, and of course he knew what to say.

In the face of Major General Andokos's modest words, Admiral Prieshan supplemented Eder. "Your Majesty is right, you have indeed practiced very well. Don't be modest, Andokos, mainly according to what you said, this is the soldier's movements will be out of shape, and it must be the result of your efforts. ”

"Of course," said Prieshan, handing the telescope to a staff officer behind him, and continued. "This is an affirmation of your work, and I also hope that the 21st Division can complete the training work as soon as possible, so that you can become the first to complete the reorganization work of the newly formed troops, so that you can be corrected as soon as possible."

As the chief of the General Staff, General Prishan still had a hand in encouragement, and he released the righted carrot for several commanders of the 21st Division to continue their efforts. It needs to be mentioned here that the division-level commanders of the six divisions that have been expanded this time are still only acting, and as for wanting to remove the word "acting", they can only be done after the reorganization is completed. Therefore, now the commanders of the six newly expanded divisions are all trying their best to train their subordinates, and no one wants to continue to hold the title of acting. It's not just about face, it's more about one's own position in the Romanian army. You must know that in the army, they only recognize ability, and if they are surpassed by others, then the status of any of their six new division commanders in the army will be greatly reduced.

In the face of the carrots of Prissan, the three commanders of the 21st Division were not exempt from temptation, and in the end, it was Major General Andokos who spoke gratefully. "Thanks to the encouragement of the Chief of the General Staff, we will definitely complete the reorganization before the other divisions."

As a major general, Andokos has been in the army for many years, and he knows that he must not be cowardly at this time, and must let the king and the chief of the general staff see his strong side, which is the army's iron-blooded perseverance is the excellent quality of the army.

Eder and Prishan were very satisfied with Major General Andokos's answer, and both felt that Major General Andokos was responsible. Of course, if he couldn't finish what he said, he must have known very well what the result would be. The promises made in the army need to be fulfilled, otherwise the best result is that there is basically no room for further growth.

After visiting the company and platoon training of the 21st Division, Eder and Prishan continued to inspect artillery training, communications drills, and field medical drills. Especially during the field medical exercise, Eder also specially visited the medical soldiers who were willing to give up their high salaries to work as military doctors in the army, and also took pictures with them.

Eder and Pryshan stayed in the 21st Division for a total of two days, carefully observing the situation of the 21st Division, and basically understanding the specific situation of the division. In the evening of the next day, Eder and Prisson drove overnight to the next location, in Dobrich, which was in the former territory of Bulgaria and now part of Romania, where the newly formed Romanian 20th Division was located.

For most of the month, Eder took the chief of the General Staff, Prissan, to visit the newly formed divisional units in Romania. The focus was on the troops formed during the large-scale expansion, and they also found many problems during the inspections. Fortunately, however, there were no major problems, only minor problems, which greatly satisfied both Eder and Prissan. No one wants to spend a lot of money to build a troop that is found to be a good thing.

In fact, the king's eagerness to inspect these troops made all the other high-ranking officers a little confused, except for the chief of the general staff, Prissan. Because Eder had given him a request that these large-scale expansion troops must be reorganized within two years, Prishan also made every effort to complete the expansion of the army regardless of other things.
