"Your Majesty, this is information sent by the Soviet Union."
Edel, who had just returned to Bucharest, saw Horia, the captain of the bodyguard, rushing in with a telegram.
Edel attached great importance to the Soviet Union, his lifelong enemy, so he immediately received the telegram and read it.
This is the news that the Soviet Union has decided to carry out the first five-year plan. At this time, there is no precedent for such detailed planning and construction in the world, and the Soviets have seen the precedent. In fact, the industrialization implemented by Edel in Romania has to some extent
There are some shadows of this kind of plan. However, Romania does not have the super high execution ability of the Soviet Union, and it cannot have the ability to execute the plan in strict accordance with the plan.
Edel can only carry out guided development in Romania, and at most introduce preferential policies to attract capital to the industry.
The Soviet Union's five-year plan in front of Edel deals with the construction of heavy industries related to national strength such as automobiles, aircraft manufacturing, chemical synthesis, and large-scale machinery and equipment manufacturing.
In this five-year plan, Edel also saw the goal of building collective farms. The word collective farm was not unfamiliar to Edel. In his previous life, his family was from a rural background, so he knew its essence clearly. This is just
A quick way to use the scissor gap between workers and peasants to harvest farmers' income and subsidize it to industrial construction.
The agricultural reform of the Soviet Union was not based on tenderness, but was based on sucking the blood of farmers. From the machine gun grain collection team, we can see the attitude of the Asian Federation towards farmers. In the future, farmers in the Soviet Union will suffer.
However, although the style of doing things is a bit uncomfortable, it must be said that the speed of industrial development in the Soviet Union is also very fast. In less than five years, it turned its semi-industrial and semi-agricultural country into an industrial country that has begun to take shape.
Although there are various problems, this speed of development is unprecedented in history, which is also the terrifying thing about the Soviet model.
Thinking of its terrible development speed, Edel felt deep pressure. It seemed that Romania also needed to make countermeasures. Of course, it was not to destroy the development of the Soviet Union, unless Romania had the idea of death with it. A large-scale war broke out with the Soviet Union. In it
Edel did not think about it this way during the civil war, nor does he think about it now. Since the Soviet Union is developing rapidly, Romania cannot relax. It does not seek to catch up, but it does not want to fall too far behind.
Thinking of this, Eder immediately called Prime Minister Karaturi to discuss Romania's economic development. There was an issue that could not be delayed any longer.
…
"Your Majesty, do you want to reform agriculture?"
When Karaturi arrived at the palace, he was amazed when he heard Edel's plan.
It’s no wonder that Caraturi was not surprised, because this time Edel plans to deepen Romania’s mechanized farming, free up more labor force to move into the city, and accelerate Romania’s industrialization.
Of course, Edel did not intend to implement the mechanized farming model of large farms like the United States. Instead, he decided to use industrial agriculture according to local conditions.
In later generations, industrialized agriculture in the motherland often appears in the news and newspapers, and Edel believes that it is just a sublimated version of Eastern intensive farming. If politicians switch to industrialization, their country will not need so many farmers. One or two hundred million will be enough.
.
But in that case, it will be a disaster for the country. Too many farmers entering the city will overwhelm various national facilities and public welfare institutions. And too many people flowing into the city will also increase the burden on the city, and there will not be enough jobs to provide.
.
Of course, these problems for future generations of the motherland do not exist in Romania. Of the nearly 500,000 square kilometers of land, plain terrain accounts for 43%, then hilly terrain accounts for 28%, and mountains account for 29%. The vast plains give Romania enough
Cultivated land, and the current Romanian population has just exceeded 30 million (data from early 1927).
It can be said that the population for industrialization in Romania is not enough, which makes migrant workers have many problems in Romania. Of course, every country has nationalism, especially when the national power is rising rapidly, this problem is the most serious (for example, South Korea
, Japan). Fortunately, domestic public opinion has been guiding these national sentiments so that they should not focus on these foreigners who come to work.
This time, stimulated by the Soviet Union's five-year plan, Edel decided to start with Romania's mainstay agriculture.
Even though Romania’s agriculture is usually not prominent, its importance in Romania is not low. It is famous as the second largest exporter of grain in Europe (it climbed to the first place for a while), and this name alone can explain Romania’s importance.
agricultural foundation.
However, although Romania has a strong reputation as a major grain exporting country, Romanian agriculture still lags far behind that of developed regions in Western Europe. This is under the premise that Edel is promoting mechanized farming in the country. As for new countries such as Western Ukraine,
The land captured was still dominated by livestock farming, and the nature of Romania's agriculture, which was large but not strong, remained unchanged.
Now, Eder believes it is time to change the production structure of agriculture.
So when faced with the Prime Minister's inquiry, Edel replied firmly. "That's right. I plan to upgrade agriculture. There are still a lot of livestock farming operations in Romania, which restricts too many people to rural areas. At present, industry is the main
The timing of development cannot allow these people to be tied up in the land like this."
Although Karaturi has always been involved in industry, it does not mean that he does not understand agriculture. Especially after becoming prime minister, he needs to know more about the situation of all walks of life in the country. So he couldn't help but say. "
Your Majesty, the current agricultural reform in the old territories is okay, but the agricultural reforms in the new territories may be a little difficult. Especially in the former Russian territories, there are still some Russian serf styles. Although after joining our country, its serfs
The atmosphere has weakened a lot, but if there is no guarantee that there will be no opposition voices in the region."
After hearing the Prime Minister's concerns, Edel replied calmly. "What are they dissatisfied with? Do they still want to return to Russia? Tsarist Russia has become history, and there is only the Red Soviet Union. Do these people still dare to go to the Soviet Union?"
You must know that the Soviet collectivized farms were a big pit that could kill those Soviet farmers.
Karaturi heard the monarch's determination from Eder's words. This was to upgrade agriculture at the expense of the landowners in the former Russian territory. Perhaps these beneficiaries saw the agricultural scene in Romania's interior.
, they will endure the temporary pain. Otherwise, what else can these people do? To vote for Russia is to seek independence. To vote for Russia is to seek death, and for independence, the same is true. No one in the surrounding countries wants to see Ukrainians having the idea of independence.
At that time, it was suppressed by several countries.
"Your Majesty, I will go back to discuss with other ministers and come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible."
"Go ahead."
Watching the Prime Minister leave, Edel wanted to see if these former Russian residents were patriots.
