Carl Moorley, a nobody, Eder forgot after the summons, he had so many things to deal with every day, where was he in the mood to care about him.

After temporarily suppressing the possibility of a nationalist outbreak in the country, Eder immediately recruited the chief of the general staff, Prissan. He intended to stop when the existing Romanian army was expanded, which was now too conspicuous. He planned to combine the experience of Germany and the Soviet Union after World War I in his previous life to carry out a stealth military expansion.

Hans von Seckt, the founder of the 100,000-strong German Army after the war, was now serving as chief of staff of the newly formed 11th Army. The commander of its army group was the famous General August von Mackensen.

In 1915, the newly formed 11th Army performed quite well. They captured more than 250,000 prisoners when they captured Lemberg at the end of June, then took Warsaw on August 4, 1914, and the Brest-Litovsk fortress at the end of August. Under their leadership, the 11th Army advanced a total of 300 kilometers, completely uprooting the Polish salient by the end of September, and completely removing the Russian threat to Galicia.

Von Sickert was promoted to brigadier general, and his superior, Sima Kensen, received the rank of marshal. At the same time, they were transferred to the newly formed "Army Group Mackensen", and then they continued to fight in Serbia. Of course, the Serbs could not resist the German, Austrian, and Bulgarian forces, and by the end of November all Serbian forces had either been annihilated or fled to Albania and Greece. A total of 150,000 prisoners were captured, and von Sickert was awarded the Oak Leaf Medal for Valor.

Now they were in Bulgaria, preparing to attack the Allied forces entrenched in Paralia. Faced with the master of mobile warfare, Field Marshal Mackensen, Eder also asked for the opinion of Prissan. His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff praised him and considered that there was no general, including him, in the Romanian army who was an opponent for his mobile operations.

This is one of the reasons why Eder was reluctant to declare war too soon. Now the German army is full of talents on the Eastern Front, and generals such as Hindenburg, Ludendorff, and Mackensen are the main promoters of the collapse of Russia that Germany fought on the Eastern Front. Moreover, the terrain of Romania determines that only sports warfare can be fought, so in the face of Marshal Mackensen, a master of mobile warfare, Eder also made difficulties.

So Eder had to conceal his goal and remain neutral between the two camps, while trying to disarm both sides of Romania's war. Not expanding the number of troops and troops is the best way for Eder to get along at the moment.

However, Seckert's stealth expansion plan for Germany was too time-consuming, and Eder incorporated some of the practices of later Soviet armies.

In a unit, the combat effectiveness of a unit is affected by weapons and equipment, the level of personnel training, the ability of commanders, etc. Among them, the ability of the commander, Eder thought of a way from the later Soviet army, that is, to have a new deputy in each level of military units. A new deputy division commander was added at the division level, a new deputy brigade commander was added at the brigade level, and a new deputy squad commander was added to the class. As for the effect, he saw it from the stall in his previous life, and he felt that there was still some truth in it, so he used it.

Such a Romanian army division could be divided into two complete top-down command systems overnight. Because they are all a division of the command system, the officers at all levels know each other, which can minimize the weakening of command capabilities.

However, after solving the problem of command, Eder could only consult with the chief of the general staff about training and weapons and equipment. He wanted to put some effort into the militia, so he needed the reasonable advice of Admiral Prishan and, presumably, a little advice from the Minister of War.

After receiving Eder's summons, the two military bigwigs immediately put down their work and rushed to the palace.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

Eder looked at the Chief of the General Staff, Preshan, and the Minister of War, General Courtois, who had saluted him. In particular, Admiral Courtois is 71 years old this year, his hair and beard are completely gray, but his spirit is not bad. According to the news from his guards, he can handle things for 7 or 8 hours a day at the War Department, and it seems that he still loves military life deeply.

Edel retracted his thoughts and spoke to the two of them. "Let you two come this time, I have a little military problem and need your help."

After looking at each other, Prisan and Courtois wanted to know about the king's 'little problem'.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Eder first explained the method of preparing for the expansion of the Romanian army in the future, and he wanted to hear the opinions of two senior military figures. As for the ideas of training and weaponry, we still need to wait for the change of the command system before we can talk about it.

After listening to Eder's thoughts, both admirals were silent. Eder didn't rush either, he knew that his idea would have a great impact on the army, and he should consider it carefully.

After a quarter of an hour, the two military bigwigs finally stood up for Admiral Prieshan. "Your Majesty, after our careful consideration, this plan is not bad, and it will be of great help to the command system in the future expansion."

Hearing Prishan's words, Eder was also extremely happy. He was most interested in the expansion of the army, which would guarantee the expansion of Romanian territory in the future, and the rich Ukrainian and Hungarian regions were on his radar.

"I have an idea."

Edel struck with a hot iron and struck with his idea of expanding the technical arms of the militia and training them to become semi-professional soldiers. When Prisan and Courtois heard Eder's idea, they were dumbfounded, for no one in their minds would have such a novel idea as the king.

Looking at the expressions of Prishan and Courtois, Eder couldn't help but ask. "What do you think of my idea?"

Both of them were silent about Eder's inquiry, which made Eder, who was still a little happy before, a little embarrassed. Seeing Eder's embarrassment, Admiral Prishan, who was a confidant, was also very eye-catching.

"Your Majesty, this is a very important matter, we need to go back and study it carefully."

After seeing that Prishan helped Eder relieve his embarrassment, Admiral Courtois took over and expressed his initial judgment. "According to the judgment of the old minister. According to His Majesty's idea, the military expenditure will be very high in this way, and its effect is not at all as good as the effect of expanding the establishment. ”

Eder glanced at Admiral Priemont after hearing Admiral Courtois's words. However, His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff seemed to see something new on the carpet and did not notice Eder's eyes. Seeing Prissan's performance, Eder knew that even he thought it was an expensive and inefficient idea.

Seeing this, Edel came up with a way to prepare for a long time. ()
