After inspecting the armored experimental camp in Constanta, Generals Edel and Presan came to Klerahi, the nearest place, where the Danube River that nourished the Romanians was divided into two tributaries. They would
Located 85 kilometers downstream, Gyurdeni merges again. After irrigating many Romanian farmlands and providing people with drinking water, it pours into the Black Sea.
As one of the six divisions formed at one time last year, the 21st Infantry Division trained here. In a small town called Rosage near Klerahi, the headquarters of the 21st Infantry Division is stationed here.
.Today, the division commander, Major General Andokos, together with the deputy division commander and chief of staff, accompanied Eder and Chief of General Staff Preshan to inspect their troops.
Major General Andokos was the deputy commander of the 5th Division before. After failing in the competition for the commander of the 15th Division, he happened to catch up with the major expansion of the army. Faced with the new establishment of the six divisions, he had some shortcomings and quickly solved them.
It became less obvious, so it was natural to become the teacher I dreamed of this time.
Faced with the expansion of six divisions in just one year, Romania's military industry was overwhelmed. Even if it took out the army's inventory, it could only reach full strength of light weapons. This was because Romania had abundant finances after the outbreak of the European War.
The result of the rise. Therefore, the 21st Infantry Division currently has vacancies for 4 75mm field guns and 6 105mm howitzers, and these are all being produced overtime in the arsenal.
In fact, this problem is not limited to the 21st Division. The six newly formed divisions all have this result more or less. There are only 16 divisions that were organized and trained before the war (14 divisions were reorganized and 2 were organized and trained in 2013).
divisions) must be fully staffed, and the six divisions formed last year now have large gaps. Therefore, this year's recruitment work requires General Courtois of the Ministry of War to put more thought into it.
Yes, General Courtois is still serving as Minister of War. Since Edel succeeded to the throne, many "civilian politicians" are predicting when General Courtois, a confidant of the old king, will retire. Only
The confidants around Eder knew that except that General Courtois's body really could not bear the work, there was no other possibility.
Because the new king does not intend to replace him, Edel now needs General Courtois to stand in front of the stage and win over his father's former influence in the army. He will not consider it until he is fully integrated into his own forces. So Courtois will
After the new king of the Eder people, General Wa took over the work of the War Department from scratch.
"Major General Andokos, your soldiers are well trained."
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Edel praised Major General Andokos next to him. What Edel was watching was the 21st Division company and platoon-level infantry attack drill. Although the officers and soldiers were not particularly skilled in their movements, they were in good shape. As long as they continued
If the practice continues, this will be another strong force of the Romanian army. This is also because Edel has inspected many times and has his own understanding of the drill results of the officers and soldiers. If it had just started, he would not dare to say this.
It would be a big joke if I said it wrong.
Facing Edel's praise, Major General Andokos smiled broadly, but he still said modestly, "This is all the efforts of all the officers and soldiers. We just distributed the training tasks."
It was not the first day that Major General Andokos faced Edel. He had met Edel several times when he was still the crown prince, and of course he knew what to say.
Faced with Major General Andokos's humble words, General Puleishan supplemented Edel's words. "Your Majesty is right, he has indeed practiced well. Andokos, don't be modest. Mainly according to what you said, this
The movements of soldiers will be out of shape, and it must be the result of your hard work."
"Of course," Pulieshan casually handed the telescope in his hand to a staff officer behind him and continued. "This is to affirm your work. I also hope that the 21st Division can complete the training as soon as possible so that you can become a new unit.
Be the first to complete the reorganization work, so that you can be corrected as soon as possible."
As the chief of the general staff, General Pu Lieshan still has a good hand in encouragement. He released the carrot of correction to let several commanders of the 21st Division continue to work hard. It needs to be mentioned here that the division-level commanders of the six expanded divisions are still there.
It's just an agent. As for removing the word agent, it needs to be reorganized. So now the six newly expanded division commanders are working hard to train their subordinates, and no one wants to continue to hold the title of agent. This is not just about
Face, more importantly, is related to one's status in the Romanian army. You must know that in the army, only ability is valued. If they are surpassed by others, then the status of any of their six new division commanders in the army will be greatly reduced.
Faced with the carrot of Mount Pule, the three chief officers of the 21st Division were not immune to temptation. In the end, Major General Andokos said with gratitude. "Thanks to the Chief of General Staff for the encouragement, we will definitely be ahead of other divisions."
The reorganization was completed before.”
As a major general, Andokos has been in the army for many years and knows that he must not be timid at this time. He must let the king and the chief of general staff see his stronger side. This is the iron-blooded and perseverance of the army, which is an excellent quality in the army.
Edel and Pleshan were very satisfied with Major General Andokos's answer, and both felt that Major General Andokos was responsible for his work. Of course, if he failed to fulfill what he said, he must also know the result very clearly. He said it in the army.
If you promise, you need to honor it, otherwise the best result is that there is basically no room for further growth.
After visiting the company and platoon training of the 21st Division, Edel and Pleshan continued to inspect artillery training, communication drills, and field medical drills. Especially during the field medical drills, Edel also specially expressed condolences to those who
The medical soldiers who were willing to give up their high salaries to work as military doctors in the army also took photos with them.
Edel and Puleishan stayed with the 21st Division for two days, carefully observed the various situations of the 21st Division, and basically understood the specific situation of the division. In the evening of the next day, Edel and Puleishan would drive overnight to go down.
A location located in Dobrich, formerly part of Bulgaria and now part of Romania, where the newly formed 20th Romanian Division was located.
For more than half a month, Edel took Chief of the General Staff Presan to visit various newly formed division-level units in Romania. The focus was on the units formed during the major expansion. During the inspection, they also found many problems. But it was still quite big.
There were no faults with it, just some minor problems, which made both Edel and Preshan who inspected it very satisfied. No one wanted to spend a lot of money to build a unit, only to be found to be fake.
In fact, other senior officers were a little confused about the king's eagerness to inspect these troops, except for Chief of General Staff Plesan. Because Eder had given him instructions and required him to complete the reorganization of these large-scale expansions within two years, so
Pu Lieshan also ignored everything else and tried his best to complete the expansion of the army.
