Eder thought about which other people Romania would urgently need in the upcoming unemployment frenzy in Germany.
So the first one on the list must be educational talents, which are also the most urgent and in demand in Romania.
Yes, universal education in Romania has been carried out for decades. Starting from Carol I, the kingdom issued a decree requiring every child over the age of six to go to school and receive five years of education (because primary school is five years
, later primary school was changed to six years and became six years of compulsory education).
However, unlike later generations of education, schools during this period mainly taught Cyrillic alphabet, and later gradually changed to Latin alphabet. By the time Eder came to power, all had been changed to Latin alphabet. Primary schools mainly involved Chinese, mathematics, geography, history, etc.
Subjects. Compared with other major powers, Romania does not have much difference in subjects. The main difference is the shortage of teachers. From the beginning, there were only 4-6 teachers in a primary school, and gradually expanded to 8-11 teachers now.
Responsible for educating students.
The main gap between Romania and the great powers lies in the shortage of higher education teachers. Take the well-known University of Iasi in Romania as an example. Its predecessors are the Vasily Lup Academy founded in Iasi in 1640 and the Royal Academy of Iasi established in 1714.
After the unification of Romania, it was established in 1860 on the initiative of Cuza and named after him. In the early days of its establishment, the school had three departments: Chinese-Philosophy, Law and Theology, and there were only a few professors.
Later, natural science teaching was introduced and expanded to eight departments: philosophy, law, language and literature, physics, chemistry, mathematics, medicine and economics, with a teaching staff of more than 20 people. From 1908 to 1914, agriculture, electrical machinery, chemical engineering and
The Department of Geography has gradually become a more comprehensive higher education institution.
Until now, the University of Iasi has not added any more departments, but it has subdivided the departments. For example, physics has been divided into mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics, and other disciplines have also been subdivided. At present, the University of Iasi
Including personnel hired from abroad, it currently has a teaching staff of nearly a hundred people, ranking among the top three in Romania.
In Edel's opinion, what is most enviable in Germany at present is of course the various professors and scholars in Germany. Since the end of the 19th century, various world-famous scientists in Germany have emerged in endlessly. Whether it is Gauss, Ohm, or Ein who are already world-famous,
Stein, or the currently unknown Hertz and others, German scholars have always shone in the world.
And what scientists are available in Romania?
It is shameful to say that there is currently only one Konstantin I. Bahon, and he is a medical scientist who is not very famous yet. Therefore, Edel coveted the star-studded German scientists and could not sleep at night.
Fortunately, the current chaotic situation in Germany is an opportunity for Romania. (Someone tried to invite Einstein to teach in Romania, but he was declined)
In addition to educational talents, Romania currently has a considerable shortage of high-level talents in all walks of life.
Take Romania's most famous automobile manufacturing industry and petrochemical industry as an example. Volkswagen, which represents the automobile manufacturing industry, has been unable to make breakthroughs in gasoline engine research on power systems. The main reason is the talent gap for basic research on various materials, which is a drag
The progress of research has slowed down. So far, Volkswagen has still not been able to develop a new major model to replace the Model T and Dongfeng trucks that have been selling well for many years.
In terms of petrochemical industry, it is still mainly producing various basic chemical raw materials, and these are basically technologies imported from Germany. As for the production of various organic chemical raw materials and synthetic materials from basic chemical raw materials, due to the inability to purchase the technology,
At present, Romania still needs outsourcing. Therefore, except for the synthetic ammonia that Edel was trying to obtain at the time, Romania still has few involvement in other industries relying on the petrochemical industry.
So regardless of the current good industrial development in Romania, in fact, the most important reason is due to the lack of industries in the past. This is to make up for the gap in Romania. Coupled with the outbreak of the war, various industries have developed rapidly, so that they can survive the most dangerous initial stage.
Otherwise, Romania's nascent industry would have been wiped out by the country. After all, you can't force people to buy high-priced and low-quality domestic products and give up useful foreign products.
Even Japan, where corruption is the most widespread, forces its people to buy inferior steel produced by Nanman Company. This is still in Asia, and no government in Europe can do this.
As for the military industry, Romania has not developed much technologically at present. Currently, it still uses the technology imported from Germany from Edel, with at most some minor changes in details.
If Romania is still a little unprogressive in the research and development of army equipment, then it can be considered a forgotten child in warship manufacturing. Yes, Romania’s warship manufacturing capabilities are not much different from before. Currently, inland river and offshore patrol boats are the ones that should be considered.
The limits of industry capabilities.
It's all about money. As the main manufacturer and maintainer of Romanian naval ships, the Constanta Naval Shipyard mainly relies on supplying various civil aviation ships. If it relied on naval orders and maintenance, this shipyard would have closed down long ago.
Think about it, in terms of Romania’s military expenditure, the navy is basically only a fraction of the army. After deducting various expenses, how can there be money to buy warships. So let alone the navy is not strong, the Kolburg-class "Count Dazila" is currently purchased from Germany
"Cruisers are the treasures of the Navy. Even when they have to be dispatched in various wars, they are used with great care for fear of getting scratched. It can be said that the Navy has always had a very hard life.
However, there is no way to do this. Romania is located on the Black Sea. Apart from Russia and Turkey, no other country can threaten its coast. And Romania does not have the money to vigorously develop its navy, or in other words, it does not have enough
The needs of developing a large navy for overseas interests.
However, in Edel's view, after the war, great naval development is coming. But it needs to wait until sufficient shipbuilding capabilities are obtained from Germany. Royal Shipyard, Wesel Shipyard, Vulcan Shipyard, Germania Shipbuilding
Factory, Krupp Shipyard, etc., these are first-class shipyards that can build battleships.
Of course, Edel is well aware of the fate of these shipyards in the future. The shipyards that will manufacture warships for Germany will have enough hard times. Among other things, Britain and France will not let these shipyards go. They will not destroy Germany's shipbuilding capabilities.
They will not give up. At this time, Romania appears as a savior and takes over these shipyard equipment and workers. I believe it is also a huge help to Germany. After all, there are fewer hungry people, right?
