Eder, who had just returned to Bucharest from Thessaloniki, was physically exhausted but in high spirits.

There was no way, this naval surprise attack on Alexandria was fruitful, sinking more than a dozen warships of various types, destroying most of the British Mediterranean Fleet, and only paying the loss of 67 fighters (because of the second air raid, the exchange of fire with British fighters).

This made the Romanian Navy famous in World War I, and it also gave Romania control of the Eastern Mediterranean. According to the latest news from Britain and France, at present, the two countries require their merchant transport ships to go as far as possible to the Cape of Good Hope.

Since he has achieved such great achievements, Eder naturally needs to personally ask the officers and men of the fleet who attacked. So the day after the war report was returned, Eder took a special train to Thessaloniki.

And this time, in the face of the king's personal welcome to the return of the fleet, the navy was naturally very happy. This also means that Romania's investment in the navy over the years has not been in vain, and the navy has handed over a satisfactory answer to the kingdom.

Therefore, the Romanian navy naturally did not dare to slack off on the king's condolence action, and not only arranged the strictest protection, but also raised the review to the highest. After all, it was wartime, and the possibility of someone trying to assassinate Eder could not be ruled out.

When the fleet returned, Eder personally stood on the pier to meet them. And the photo of him with the two commanders made the headlines of the major newspapers the next day.

Subsequently, the biographies of Lieutenant General Midrafael and Major General Fernandez were introduced in the newspaper. This also made the names of the two of them the most popular admirals, and their popularity remained high.

Eder sees everything in this regard and knows why the Navy is pushing behind it.

It is nothing more than the navy needs the support of military achievements in order to gain the recognition of the people. On the other hand, the Navy intends to introduce its own famous generals in order to enhance the self-confidence of officers and men.

That's right, that's how the Navy intended. Although the existence of a famous general is a double-edged sword, its existence can help improve the morale and self-confidence of the army, but defeat and death can also greatly damage the morale of officers and soldiers. It's just that the benefits of this thing are too great, as long as there are conditions, which country's military doesn't want to launch several.

In this regard, all countries are the same, otherwise there will be no four or ten famous generals. And Midrafael and Fernandes, with this attack, also have enough capital to serve as famous generals.

However, Eder didn't stay long in Thessaloniki, and after greeting the fleet, he took the opportunity of the celebration party to talk to the local celebrities and returned.

And here it needs to be said that at the celebration party, the commander of the aircraft carrier, Rear Admiral Fernandez, approached Eder at the reception and tried to be able to convince Eder to continue the construction of two more aircraft carriers.

At that time, Edel listened to Rear Admiral Fernandez's gushing speech with a smile, and looked at Lomodan and Nestacu, two old naval foxes, with an expression that had nothing to do with him, which made Eder's teeth itch.

Because Eder had told them before the war that Romania had no plans to build large warships in a short time. At present, these warships are their combat strength, and in wartime, Romania will only replenish such small and medium-sized warships as destroyers, light cruisers, and submarines.

Because after the start of the Romanian war, there will be no more material tilting for the navy, and Romania needs to concentrate its production capacity to prepare equipment for the army.

Because only Eder knew that Romania had just over a year to prepare, and the next step was to fight the largest land battle. So now all resources need to be tilted towards the army, and the navy can only provide it with the necessary construction and maintenance, and it is no longer possible to start construction of large warships.

Besides, the construction period of large warships is too long, and it basically starts in 2 years. Unless the navy is a matter of national security, the army is more effective.

It's just that these two people clearly don't come, and they instruct other generals to come, even if they don't instruct, they get their acquiescence.

Eder guessed correctly, Fernandez's behavior was tacit. Inside the Navy, there is nothing that is not unaware of the mind of Rear Admiral Fernández. And after knowing that His Majesty had a celebration banquet today, he had this idea.

And with the help of others, intentionally or unintentionally, Fernandez came to Eder without a hitch. And Fernandez, who saw Eder, cherished this opportunity very much, and he seized this good opportunity to talk endlessly about the benefits of various aircraft carriers, as if this was a perfect warship with no shortcomings.

In the face of this self-feeling Major General Fernandez, Eder wanted to point out his mistake very much, but after all, he had only made a great contribution to Romania, and he could not refuse and could only listen patiently. However, this Major General Fernandez also talked too much, and he didn't care about Eder's hints from looking at his watch several times.

In addition, on this occasion, it is difficult for him to interrupt his speech. At this time, Edel regretted not bringing the guards in, at least they didn't have to bother so much.

And slowly, Eder saw that if he didn't promise the Major General Fernandez a word or two, he would not be able to get out.

In the end, after weighing up, he agreed to make a decision on building another aircraft carrier.

And after hearing Eder's promise, the Major General Fernandez finally stopped. In fact, he was hesitant and uneasy in his heart, if he hadn't been guided by some people, and he was secretly cheering himself up, how would he dare to catch the king and talk non-stop. If Eder had endured fifteen minutes, Fernandez himself would have been speechless.

But fortunately, His Majesty agreed to build an aircraft carrier. Although it will take at least two years to see it, it can at least add a capital ship to the future of the Navy.

And after His Majesty agreed, Major General Fernández dared to stay here and immediately left. Now he just wants to go as far as he wants, what the hell has he done, he is simply a ghost, forcing His Majesty to agree to his request.

It's just that after he left, Lomodan and Nestaku secretly gave each other a look, and the reason for this was their own experience.

Eder, who was robbed of an aircraft carrier by the Navy, naturally would not have much interest in attending the next banquet. After a hasty meeting with a few local celebrities, Eder left early.

After spending one night in Thessaloniki, he left the next day on a special train. As for whether he will have a bad sense of the Navy for this, the answer is very clear no. Because this is not the Navy embezzling funds, but competing for the share of funds, but the means are somewhat unacceptable.
