After Romania said that it would build only one battleship, Britain and France also stopped.

The construction of the Mirha was also carried out in an orderly manner, first with the development and verification of the required new technologies, and then with the laying of the first keel at the Varna Naval Shipyard by Vice Admiral Lomodan. It also represented the beginning of the construction of battleships in Romania. Although this construction time is extended due to the development of various new technologies (it is expected to take 4-5 years to complete), it also represents a huge increase in Romania's shipbuilding capacity.

At the time of the bustling arrangement and construction of battleships in Romania, time was also passing in a hurry. Soon 1925 passed, and the arrival of 1926 was not different except for the fact that Romania was growing more rapidly.

And in a hall in the palace, a group of people wearing clothes with the words of the national radio station are busy here. Because today Edel is coming to the radio to give a New Year's address to the people. In later generations, New Year's speeches by monarchical leaders were commonplace, but not so many nowadays.

As for the Romanian National Radio, it was the official media established after the war. Before that, there were only a few small private radio stations in China, and they were mainly based on the entertainment economy. Eder, of course, will not let go of the new media such as radio, and has instructed the government to set up an official media in order to take this new type of public opinion channel into his own hands.

As a national radio station that can cover the whole country, it mainly promotes national policies, politics, economy, and humanities and history. And this time, Edel's New Year's speech facing the whole country naturally needs to be placed on the national radio station.

"How's everything going?"

The station director was questioning the busy radio staff. Although he knew that these people were the best technicians in the station, he still couldn't help but ask.

"It's all ready to start recording."

The person in charge of the recording and broadcasting machine gave the director a thumbs up after speaking.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, the director walked up to Eder, who was waiting on the side, and said. "Your Majesty, the recording equipment is ready, I don't know when it will start?"

Eder, who was memorizing the speech, nodded in reply. "So let's get started."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In order to keep his New Year's speech from going wrong, Eder had already memorized the speech. However, in order to prevent accidents, he still needs to look at the script and speak for a while, and he can't see others if it's not a video anyway.

As Edel stood in front of the recording equipment, the staff member in charge of the recording said loudly.

"Ready to go."

"Three"

"Two"

"One"

"Subjects, it was a pleasure to spend 1925 with you. Romania's economic and military strength has developed greatly in the past, and these are inseparable from the contributions of your subjects, who have made Romania prosperous and powerful. Here I need to say thank you to the vast number of subjects for their hard work in the past. Thank you for your efforts to bring Romania to a high enough place in the world. These are the hard work of farmers, workers, soldiers, and people from all walks of life. ”

"Romania has come a long way in recent years. Militarily, in the past, China could only build 1,000-ton warships, but now 40,000-ton battleships are also being built in docks. Weapons and equipment have also gone from being able to buy technology from other countries to now being able to develop them ourselves. Aircraft, artillery, tanks, etc. are independently developed, designed and produced by China, and can even be exported to other countries.

Economically, the total value of China's industrial and agricultural production has also increased from 3.43 billion lei in 1905 to more than 40 billion lei in 1925. In 20 years, it has increased 12 times, and this is all due to everyone. Moreover, China has also changed from a backward country exporting grain and minerals to an industrial country that mainly exports food, machinery and other products.

Moreover, in the past 20 years, China's status in the world has also increased day by day. From a neglected Balkan country to the point where Romania is now valued by all countries in the world. Of course, all these efforts of all the subjects, militarily, our country also defeated Germany and Austria and liberated the people of all nationalities who were oppressed by it. At the same time, it also recovers the land it has occupied. Moreover, our country also resisted the finger staining of Europe by the Red Empire and defended the tranquility of Europe. ”

"Let the glory of the past pass, and the most important thing is to look to the future. So the new year begins, and here I hope that Romania will be stronger in the future. This is not just my wish, but also the wish of all of you who love Romanian subjects. So in the new year, we need to put our heads down and everyone needs to contribute to this. Of course, the strength of the motherland will also benefit everyone. For this reason, I would like to appeal to all of you to work for a better tomorrow in Romania. ”

Eder's New Year's speech was a summary of the development of Romania in the previous 20 years. Everyone present could feel the pride of Romania's rapid development, and this is what Eder would like to see.

So when he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause. Edel smiled and raised his hand to signal that everyone should not be so enthusiastic, and then he walked up to the director and asked. "When will it air?"

"We took it back immediately, it was announced on the radio before, and it was broadcast at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Go ahead."

Edel left after saying that, and on the first day of the new year, he had more to do than that. The usual activities of enjoying the people should be carried out in the same way.

The station director immediately asked his subordinates to speed up the packing of the machine, and also sent someone to send the recorded negatives back first.

…………

On the first day of the new year, as long as you don't need to rush to work, the general business owner will give everyone a day off. And the peasants have to rest at home, and the winter in Romania is not gentle at all.

Thanks to the wide reach of the national radio station, the news that Edel was going to deliver a New Year's address on the radio station was something everyone was looking forward to. The workers of the city asked to hear what the monarch who had led Romania to prosperity had to say. And the barren entertainment in the countryside makes people look forward to the king's New Year's speech.

So at almost two o'clock, people were around the radio, waiting earnestly.

As soon as two o'clock arrived, a heavy voice came from the radio. Next, please listen to His Majesty Eder's New Year's speech.

"Subjects, it's a pleasure to ...... with you"

Edel's voice came over the radio. For the vast majority of people, the voice of this wise monarch was also heard for the first time, so some people couldn't help but stir. But as Eder summarizes the past 20 years, many people reminisce about the hard times of those years before they can feel the riches of today.

It wasn't until the radio was finished that many people realized that Romania was not what it used to be.

So much so that the next day, many newspapers reported on the 20 years of Romania's development.

But no matter how much it is reported, the past is only the past. New beginnings await them.
