In the royal palace of Bucharest, Romania, since Eder decided to speculate, more attention has been paid to the statements of Russia and Serbia.

The guards in the palace all knew that the crown prince was in a bad mood and was easy to be impatient, so everyone was careful about doing things for fear of being reprimanded, only the chief of the guard, Calust, was still so calm and indifferent. On the sixth day of the Romanian military exercises, the chief of the guard walked down the aisle with hurried steps. Those who knew him well knew that something big must have happened, so that the captain of the guard, who showed his calm and indifferent face, had a hint of eagerness.

"Your Highness, this is Russia's latest statement." After walking into the crown prince's office, the chief of the guard Karuster told the anxiously waiting Edel.

"Show it to me." Edel approached him and took the message from the head of the guard's hand and read it.

After carefully reading the telegram in the hand of the chief of the guard, Eder sighed inwardly, and his whole body relaxed. After tidying up his clothes and recovering again, he spoke to the head of his guard.

"Calust I know, so those guards don't have to be so careful, and I don't eat people."

"Okay, Your Highness, I'll tell them." The chief of the guard said secretly happy when he saw the crown prince recover. In the face of the crown prince's recent state, the chief of the guard could only try his best to arrange for the clever guards to come and stand guard, so as not to make Edel angry.

After the chief guard had gone out, Edel took the telegram and walked briskly to Carol I's chamber to share the good news with his father. After stopping the Governor, Viscount Edri, from trying to make an announcement, the Crown Prince went into his father's room.

"Is Edel you?" Carol I asked without looking up when he heard the footsteps.

"Yes, father."

"It seems that Russia has given in." Not to be a loss to the old fox who has been able to control Romania for so many years, Eder can guess the result with a word.

"Father seems to be so shrewd that he can't hide anything from you." Edel also found a random stool to sit down.

"There's nothing in Romania that can hide it from me." The old king put down the pen in his hand, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and continued to Eder with a smile. "I'm older now, and I don't have enough energy. If I could go back 10 years, I could work for days on end. ”

"In my heart, my father is still so energetic, nothing can stump you." Edel said, remembering his father who had been able to work for days on end as a child. Now his father is older than before, and his hair is gray, but he still feels so majestic and inviolable to Eder.

"After Russia retreated, Serbia could no longer hold out. But the contradiction is intensifying, and I don't know if we will have such luck next time. After a brief chat of affection, Carol I resumed his role as the king of a country.

"Now we can't do without Germany's help, and we can only hope that next time we won't be so passive." Eder also had lingering fears about the crisis, as he had thought that he knew the outcome of history and that he had always had a sense of superiority in his heart. This time, the Kaiser taught him a lesson, letting him know that none of the people who can leave a name in history are simple.

After continuing to talk to his father, Edel left Carol's room. Now that the crisis is basically over, the exercise will continue, and the crown prince is also very interested in the results of the exercise.

At the General Staff, Eder sat with the Chief of the General Staff. Listen to his staff officers tell a summary report on the problems that have been exposed during this exercise.

"During this emergency exercise, we found a lot of problems, first of all, problems of our staff itself. In terms of the time period for the use of transportation, reasonable arrangements were not made, so that the Sixth Division waited for six hours in Mokshani because the transportation could not be arranged in time. Fortunately, the Sixth Division made its own arrangements in time, so that they could reach their destination in time. ”

After talking about the responsibilities of the staff itself, the staff officer began to talk about the problem of mobile units.

"There are also quite a few problems in the mobile units of the exercise. The most important of these is the problem of falling behind, many soldiers have fallen behind for various reasons, and although each division has organized a follow-up containment team, there are still many soldiers who cannot find their own troops, and there are even cases of running to other divisions. There are also incidents of disturbance to the people, and there have been many cases of forced requisition of civilian vehicles in order to speed up the march or reduce the pain of the march. There have already been several complaints. There was also an incident where an officer ran to another place by reading the wrong map......"

Eder was able to understand the problems of this exercise. In the past, the army was too lacking in training, and although it has been gradually improved in recent years, small problems still exist in the army. Rome wasn't built in a day, it took a process, and as long as he insisted on believing that it would improve gradually, Eder could afford to wait. However, it is also necessary to put a little pressure on the military in order to better spur them to work harder, and the crown prince still understands this very well.

"It needs more training," Eder said to Chief of the General Staff Preshan, who was sitting next to him.

After hearing the crown prince's dissatisfied, Preshan replied with a somewhat serious face. "I'll criticize them after the drill."

"Don't be so serious Chief of the General Staff, I believe the officers below are more anxious than you." Edel comforted his henchmen and continued. "In fact, this kind of exercise is very good, and it can improve our reaction speed in the face of war."

"I will do more such exercises in the future so that they can better adapt to this wartime environment." Knowing that Eder did not intend to pursue these issues, the Chief of the General Staff made his own proposal.

"It's a good idea."

After listening to the report on the exercises, the crown prince left the General Staff.

"Don't go back to the palace yet, go to the military academy." Eder, who was sitting in the car, looked at the sunny street, and thought that he hadn't been to the military academy for a long time, so he commanded the driver.

At Eder's orders, the crown prince's motorcade turned around and headed for the Romanian Military Academy, which was located on the outskirts of the country.

The vehicle arrived at the entrance of the Military Academy, and Edel asked the guards to come forward and report. Within a few minutes, I saw the principal Prossi running over in a hurry with several high-ranking officials of the military academy.

"I've seen Your Highness." Seeing a group of people saluting themselves steamingly, it seems that the crown prince's raid was successful.

"Hello Headmaster Prosi, I hope it didn't bother you." Eder confronted the principal of the military academy.

"It's our honor that Your Highness can come, how can it be bothered."

As a good friend of Preshan, Prossi still knows Eder better, and said it after greeting the crown prince. "Your Highness, please inside."

Edel walked into the campus under the guidance of Principal Prossi. As he walked through the playground, looking at the young military cadets who were undergoing military training, Eder asked Prossi, who was walking behind him.

"How are these students?"

"This batch of students has only been recruited for less than three months, which is very good in the classes that have been recruited. Most people have a lot of cultural skills, and there are many people who can have a thorough understanding of tactics, and it is estimated that they have either read books on this subject before, or have been taught by their families, and I believe that a few good seedlings will emerge. ”

Eder was also a little interested when he heard Principal Prossy praise the students with a little pride, and for a moment he had a bad taste in his heart, so he stood by and watched. After all, it was only three months after entering the military academy, and these cadets saw that a group of big people who could control their own futures in the military academy accompanied a young man in his twenties to watch his military training. It is inevitable that I am nervous, and there are smart estimates that have already guessed the identity of this young man. For a while, I was nervous, excited, and wanted to perform, and all kinds of thoughts came to my heart, and the neat and uniform team made waves.

The instructor who led the team was also secretly anxious, and after several mistakes in the queue in a row, beads of sweat climbed onto the instructor's forehead. Looking at the instructor's appearance of wanting to be angry but not daring to be angry, Edel secretly laughed in his heart. I knew that I couldn't watch it any more, or it would ruin his training today. Edel left the playground and took away all the thoughts of the cadets.

"Today I'm going to let you know the consequences of not taking your training seriously."

Edel heard a shout from the playground after walking some distance, it seemed that these students were suffering, and a group of school officials could only feel helpless in their hearts about the Crown Prince's bad taste.

Eder, who was in a much happier mood, inspected the school's facilities under the guidance of Principal Prossi. The classroom, armory, canteen, auditorium, etc., all left the figure of the crown prince, and as he walked to the combat rehearsal room, Edel heard the sound of argument coming from inside.

"Instructor Hoffman, your infantry is moving too fast on the plains, and now even our fast mobile division does not have the speed you say, and I will not believe that in twenty years you will be able to achieve the mobility you require."

A rough voice sounded in the combat rehearsal room, and Eder's group outside could hear it clearly, and they could see the intensity of the dispute, which aroused Edel's interest, and motioned for everyone to stand outside the house and not disturb the dispute.

"Faculty member Ricksiva, we said before the deduction that everything is based on twenty years from now, and I think my conclusions are reasonable. Now that science and technology are changing with each passing day, you should see that airplanes and trucks have appeared in recent years, and we have reason to believe that in twenty years, the army division level will be able to reach a speed of 80 kilometers. "It should be the Hoffman teacher who is explaining his reasoning.

"Instructor Hoffman should know that twenty years ago, the army marched at a speed of 20 kilometers, and now it is only more than 30 kilometers, which is still a march. It took less than a day to attack a line of defense in your deduction, which is the most incomprehensible thing for me. You know, the current format is that the defense has an advantage. Personally, I don't think your reasoning is realistic. "It's still the skepticism of the Ricksiwa instructors.

"In my understanding, there is still a lot of potential for cars that are being developed gradually. With the development of the times, it is entirely possible that a car weighing more than ten tons will appear in the future, and we can completely put it on armor, plus machine gun artillery, to form a modern heavy cavalry. Can you imagine that the current means of defense can withstand such a heavy cavalry attack? ”

After a slight pause, Instructor Hoffman's voice continued. "Moreover, today's aircraft can provide the army with efficient means of reconnaissance, and the current army has no way to resist such methods. It can quickly find the weak points of the enemy's defense, launch an attack before the opponent can react, and quickly tear through the defense line and rush into depth. Maybe we'll be able to attack the ground from the sky in the future. ”

When Edel heard this, he was going to push the door open and go in to have a look, thinking of the mechanized cowman a century in advance.

"But there's a disadvantage of the car that you can't avoid, it can only drive on the road, how are you going to solve this?" Then the question rang out again, and Edel was going to hear what the teacher named Hoffman could do.

"It's a problem now, but I think we can find a way to use it in agricultural machinery, and I've seen that steam is used in the field, and there are huge wheels and tracks, and we can actually use this method in cars as well."

It seems that this Hoffman also has an in-depth understanding of the feasibility of his own ideas. Edel had almost understood his thoughts when he heard this, so he pushed open the door to the combat rehearsal room and walked in.

Seeing the two people who were arguing, one was taller and dressed casually, with messy rice dumpling hair and beard, and the other was more ordinary, neatly dressed, with meticulous blonde hair, and looked like the Germans in the advisory group.

The footsteps of the group pushing the door and entering woke up the two people who were discussing fiercely. Seeing a group of school executives accompanying a young man in his twenties, the two hurriedly stepped forward.

Prossi saw that the two of them looked a little at a loss, and knew that the crown prince was interested in what they had just talked about, so he stepped forward and introduced. "This is Ricksiva, Hoffman."

Under the introduction of Principal Prossi, Eder learned that the tall man was Ricksiva, who behaved more like a German, and that he was more interested in Huffmann, and Principal Prossi paused to preach to them after introducing the two. "This is His Royal Highness Crown Prince Eder."

The two saluted a little nervously after Principal Proxi's introduction. "I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"You're welcome." Edel continued with a smile after gesturing. "Your discussion was very wonderful and it was an eye-opener for me, can you tell me how you thought of doing such a deduction at that time?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

As the two of them recounted, it turned out that they were bored without class today, and Ricksiwa proposed a tactical deduction, and it happened that Hoffman was studying the model of future warfare, so he proposed to use twenty years as the standard. Then there's what Edel hears, and the two argue over the standard.

Eder spoke to Teacher Huffman. "I'm more interested in your previous remarks, and I hope to continue to hear your wonderful speeches next time."

"Okay Your Highness, I will continue to refine my ideas, and I hope that Your Highness will be satisfied."

After receiving Huffman's reply, Eder did not linger much and had little interest in continuing to wander around. Led by Prossie, he returned to the gate of the campus, and after getting in the car, he instructed the guards beside him. "Get to know the instructor named Huffman, I'm going to see his profile."

The day after returning to the palace, Edel was given detailed information about the genius's idea. Haines. Feng. Hoffmann, his full name, was born in 1880 in Craowwa, northwestern Romania, and was a Romanian German from a Romanian baronet family. After graduating from the Staff Department of the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, he served in the German army for a time, and was rejected by his colleagues during his time in Germany because of his advanced theories. Feeling that he had no future in the German army, he returned to Romania and was placed to teach at the officer school.

Edel muttered to himself after reading the information. "If you weren't lucky enough to meet me, you probably would have taught for the rest of your life."

At the time of Eder's interest in this Huffman, the message that Serbia had finally capitulated was reported to the crown prince.
