After establishing the automobile industry, Eder consulted with Chief of Staff on the option of switching logistics to automobile transportation. After research, the two found that replacing the logistics horses with cars had an advantage in maintenance costs, and the horses were too easy to eat. Moreover, the transportation distance can also be increased, and the maximum distance can be 40 kilometers a day for horse transportation, and 100 kilometers for people to march. Horses are very delicate creatures, and they must be transported in the first place, and continuous marching will hurt horses greatly, and the fat loss is very serious.

The car does not have the above problems, a car theoretically walking 200 kilometers a day will not be a big problem, according to the current car standards is a simple maintenance and can be on the road. And a large number of artillery, ammunition, machine guns, and all kinds of large items for logistics can be taken away by cars.

After calculation, a division needs to reach 800 vehicles to achieve rapid mobility, and the mobility here refers to 60 kilometers per day, compared with the current march speed of 30-40 kilometers of the European powers, which is already considered a fast force. In this way, it seems that the national army plus several heavy artillery regiments need 15000 vehicles. Under Eder's agreement with Ford, the cost of producing a van is now expected to be around £200, with the assembly line being reduced to a maximum of £150, which is a higher cost than the retooling costs. Edel and Presan were silent when they saw how much they had calculated.

"Your Highness, this is something that the government will never agree to, and the country does not have that much financial resources." Preshan took the lead, "I know that I can only modify, let's build a division first." The rest can only wait, and this can only be done when the finances improve. Eder had no choice but to abandon the plan.

After returning to the palace, the chief of guard came to Eder's side, "Your Highness, news from England that they have built a new type of warship, using a unified type of heavy artillery, which can run at a speed of 21 knots. When Edel heard this, he immediately thought that this was a dreadnought, and it seemed that the era of big ships and big guns had begun. The impact on the Romanian navy will not be too great, but the impact on the situation will be too great, and the First World War is inevitable. Now what Romania has to do is strengthen itself in order to sell it at a good price.

Feeling that time was not waiting for me, Eder could only watch the great power game in Romania. After Britain finished building the Dreadnought-class battleships, Germany, France, the United States and other major powers followed up, Britain's main rival Kaiser announced that the Nassau-class would also switch to the Dreadnought-class design, and the United States announced that it would build the South Carolina-class battleships also based on the Dreadnought-class. Russia now says it has no money and will follow suit when the finances improve. France is studying funding for the construction of dreadnought-class warships. Japan said I would buy it back in the UK and study it. Italy and Austria-Hungary said you build it first and I'll look at it later.

Because the strife caused by the appearance of the dreadnought was boiling in the international community, Eder was dazzled. At this time, the chief of the guard told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the first phase of the arsenal had been completed. Eder's main concern about the military problem was partially alleviated, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided to visit the arsenal.

The next day, Eder went to the arsenal on the outskirts of Bucharest, accompanied by its director, Valicia, to tour the finished building. The factory manager, Valicia, studied economics in Germany and later helped his father run the family's small arsenal. Later, Eder borrowed money from Germany to build a military factory, and then acquired and merged several small factories in the country, and found that Valicia was doing quite well, so he appointed Valicia to manage this large military factory.

"Your Highness's side is the main butt and body of the gun in the lumber workshop." Edel looks like a timber workshop without a hint of beauty, not much different from the Chinese architecture of the fifties, all brick and tile, and the wires are pulled like spider webs in the air. "Take me to the assembly room." Eder said a little bored, and Valicia led Edel to the assembly hall and watched the workers assemble the parts into rifles.

Edel asked about the topic of most concern, "What is the production now?" "Now because the workers are newly trained, the production is not high, and 150 rifles a day is the limit now." Edel said after hearing Valicia's explanation. "Now you need to train more workers so that they can become proficient in the work at hand as soon as possible. By the way, what about artillery production now? ”

Faced with Eder's question, Valicia replied a little embarrassed. "Now the heavy artillery workshop is still being commissioned, the requirements for workers are relatively high, and the training has not yet been completed. 75 artillery guns can now produce 8 guns a month, which is also the result of the unskilled workers, 105 light howitzers are now due to the poor mastery of the workers, plus we have not manufactured 100 caliber guns, the main rifles, or the people sent by Germany to do our workers can only do it, and now there are two or three guns in January. 150 and 210 are still training workers without production. ”

Hearing Valicia's answer, Eder thought that it would be impossible for the arsenal to achieve the expected output without two or three years of hard work. "What about machine gun production now?" Eder asked, seeing that the crown prince cared about production, Valicia also told everything she knew. "Your Highness, now we can produce 60 Madsen machine guns a month, 30 Maxim machine guns a month, 7.92 rifle ammunition can now reach 3 million rounds a month, and machine gun ammunition can reach 3.5 million rounds a month. Various shells can do 1000 tons a month. ”

After hearing Valicia's answer, Eder felt that the production of ammunition was still insufficient, and the crown prince still knew that ammunition was more complicated than that of the military. In addition to encouraging Valicia to train workers as soon as possible, the introduction of an ammunition production line could also be considered. But now the government's finances are really too poor, and there is no money to do anything else. Thinking of this, Eder is also a scoundrel, for the small country of Romania, the financial situation has always been not good, and the crown prince said that I will spend money when it comes to making money. And for the construction of the whole country, the crown prince, who was the author of the street in his previous life, said that I will only say.

PS I'm quite depressed in this chapter.,My head is going to be big.,I'm going to carefully analyze the development of the follow-up plot.。
