Secret meetings of the Communist Party, unknown to Eder.

However, he believed that as long as Romania developed well and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the Communist Party, which was engaged in wind and rain, would not be able to succeed. Moreover, the propaganda of these years has also made everyone aware of Romania's territorial dispute with the Soviet Union, and many people are disgusted with this party as a tentacle for the Soviet Union to disturb Romania.

If this party wants to grow, unless there is turmoil in Romania, and if it wants to come to power, it will only be possible if it is occupied by the Soviet Union. So Eder didn't take it too seriously.

In order to get a first-hand feel for the development of Romania, Eder once again began to inspect the work. And his choice to inspect in Varna this time is also a manifestation of the importance he attaches to the navy.

"Your Majesty, this is the battleship Mircea."

In front of Eder, the Minister of the Navy, Vice Admiral Lomodan, was presenting him with the battleship under construction.

"Very good."

The construction of the battleship Mircia is only 29% complete, the hull is still unfinished, and the scaffolding has obscured its true appearance, but Eder can still see its majesty.

"By the way, how is the development of the main gun?"

Edel thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, at present, the weapons researchers of the three countries are stepping up the development of the 380MM main gun at the Lviv Artillery Factory, and I believe that they will be able to complete their work on the schedule."

Let Eder ask about the development of the main gun, mainly because he had seen a research and development accident in a report earlier. The accident that killed one German and two Italian researchers, and seriously injured nearly a dozen Romanian researchers, is why he is extremely concerned about this. And this accident also made Lieutenant General Lomodan lose his face.

IN FACT, WHEN THE GERMAN PRE-DEVELOPED THE 380MM GUN ON THE MARKENSEN-CLASS BATTLECRUISERS, THERE WAS A PLAN FOR INSTALLING THE 380MM MAIN GUN. However, in the end, Germany chose the 350 caliber. After the First World War, the Italian side also carried out 380mm research and development in the face of the 380 main guns of the latest battleships of various countries, but the project was later cut due to economic drag. The research and development of the main gun this time was completely carried out by combining the experience and technology of the three countries, so it is understandable that there was an accident.

Eder ignored the embarrassed expression on Lieutenant General Lomodan's face and continued. "The safety of the research needs to be guaranteed, and this research on the main artillery is very beneficial to the three countries, and I hope that the next research work will be smooth."

The drums don't need to be hammered, and Eder's words put Lieutenant General Lomodan under pressure. I saw him answer seriously. "Your Majesty, please rest assured, since the R&D accident, I have ordered that we must ensure sufficient safety guarantees."

Eder also believed his words. Because this battleship was brought about by Vice Admiral Lomodan, he believed that he would not relax on specific things.

Edel asked with concern as he looked at the busy workers on the giant ship in the dockyard.

"Is the supply of shipbuilding materials going well?"

"It went very smoothly, and the Romanian steel company delivered the steel plates and various parts on time and in quantity every month. Moreover, in order to ensure the progress, the shipyard has also built a large ram workshop, and the marine gas welding technology we introduced from Germany has also effectively ensured the normal construction of the ship.

"That's good. Of course, we don't necessarily need to use all new technologies, after all, new technologies will also bring instability, and what warships need most is stability and practicality. ”

Edel left Dock 3, where the battleship was built, because the progress was too low to see its majesty in its entirety. And Vice Admiral Lomodan, apparently with this in mind, took Eder to another dockyard, where the heavy cruiser Brebista under construction was nearing completion, just in time for His Majesty's inspection.

In the adjacent dock No. 5, a sea monster is lying quietly in the dock, and its towering four 203 naval guns tell the world of its might.

This boat is much better.

Edel boarded the soon-to-be-completed Brebista and felt the charm of the cannon ship. Although he knows that the future is the world of aircraft carriers, what man can resist the charm of fighting a cannon giant ship at sea face-to-face? And in the narrow Black Sea, the power of the cannon giant ships is magnified, which is why Eder is willing to build these sea behemoths. Even in the future World War II, battleships still have an irreplaceable role, especially in the Mediterranean in the future.

"Your Majesty, this is a newly developed 203 caliber 45 times naval gun developed by our country. Its projectile weighs 126 kilograms, has a maximum range of 21.7 kilometers, and has a high and low range of -5-35 degrees. It can penetrate all known heavy cruisers in the world, and its speed of 34 knots allows it to escape the pursuit of all battlecruisers. It is a warship that is very suitable for Romania. ”

Vice Admiral Lomodan's words clearly bullied Eder's ignorance of the Navy. WHAT IS IT TO BE ABLE TO PENETRATE ALL HEAVY CRUISERS, AND NONE OF THE CURRENT HEAVY CRUISERS CAN WITHSTAND THE ATTACK OF 203MM 45 TIMES THE NAVAL GUNS. The 10,000-ton heavy patrol is a thin-skinned, fast, and firepower route. If you want to achieve the perfect combination of fire protection speed, you can't help but learn what kind of monster the Führer has made Admiral Hipper. However, that is a serious excess, and Romania does not dare to be so blatant at the moment.

"Yes, that's good."

Eder did not point out the exaggerated rhetorical devices in Lieutenant General Lomodan's words. After all, the navy has been poor for a long time, and it is not easy to meet Eder's mercy and allocate so much money to strengthen the navy. If you don't take the opportunity to show it to him, do you have to wait for the regret to show your merits?

"By the way, has the problem of the allocation of officers and soldiers been solved?"

Eder suddenly thought about staffing. You can't have a warship without an operator.

"Your Majesty, 643 sailors and 68 officers are ready. They already knew all the data of the Brebista, and when the ship was launched, it began to be seaworthy. ”

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Eder's praise made Lieutenant General Lomodan immediately reply. "Everything is for the kingdom, and the navy is willing to meet any invading enemy for the good of the country."

Lieutenant General Lomodan's words drew laughter from Eder.

"Don't be so formal, no one can threaten Romania at the moment." Edel continued as he watched the busy construction of the Mircea not far away. "The number of new warships currently in service with the Navy is gradually increasing, and you need to ensure that they are used to their full strength, which is also a test for your Navy."

Eder's words were a spur to Vice Admiral Lomodan, and the navy butler replied. "Your Majesty, please rest assured of this. In recent years, the number of applicants for the naval academy has increased year by year, especially the construction of the battleship Mircha last year, which has brought the number of applicants to a new high. The Navy is full of confidence in the staffing of the new warships. ”

"That's good."

Edel said as he looked at the busy scene inside the Navy Yard.

He is more confident than anyone else about Romania's future because he knows where the winning report is. However, Romania's current strength is still a little worse, but fortunately there is enough time to catch up.
