Chapter 438 Eastern Galicia Heavy Industry Zone (Part 2)

"The situation you said is likely to be his true thoughts."

Stulier, who was lying on the rattan chair, was analyzing Bretianu's true state of mind to his nephew Karatuli.

Karatuli, who got the news from Bretianu that he did not want to continue to be the prime minister, rushed to his uncle's house overnight to inform the old fox in politics of the news he had just received, and his uncle's words made him feel a little puzzled.

"But there's no reason. He has such a high reputation now, and there is absolutely no one in the country who can shake his status. Can he really want to accompany his family?"

Seeing that his nephew still didn't understand, Stulier gave him an analysis: "How is this possible. If you are with your family, just listen to it, you can't take it seriously. According to my analysis of his character, he doesn't want to continue doing it. The reason is most likely our strong majesty."

Stulier's analysis made Caraturi suddenly realize. "Uncle, you are saying that His Majesty is too strong. It makes him feel unhappy with the position of Prime Minister."

"Yes, don't forget that this prime minister is the nephew of Jan Constantine Bretianu. Of course his uncle was the founder of the Liberal Party, and he was trained by his uncle since he was a child, and his political affairs are also smooth sailing. Of course. His ability is also very good, otherwise it would be impossible to serve as prime minister from 1910 to today. And generally people with outstanding ability have their own ideas, but don’t forget the prime minister’s familiarity with and respect for British and French politics.”

Karatuli's eyes lit up when he heard the uncle's clear words. "So our Excellency Bretianu, after being prime minister for ten years, found that his political ideas could not be applied in Romania at all. Therefore, he was arrogant and did not want to continue doing it."

Stulier listened to his nephew's analysis, nodded and replied: "There may be other reasons, but this is definitely his main reason."

In fact, the old Prime Minister Stulier analyzed it well. There are other reasons why Bretianu does not want to continue to be Prime Minister. But Romanian politics is also becoming more like a monarchy, which is definitely the main factor.

If it is said that Romania has gained the most famous new territory this time, Bretianu is not in the top three. The second and third are the Romanian military's Marshal Prieshan and General Freiette. The two generals who have made great achievements for Romania have completely led the trend in the country.

Now the power of the domestic military has risen sharply, and everyone has a good impression of the army that has expanded the country's territory. Many people regard the two generals as the patron saint of Romania. From the number of people who plan to apply for the military academy this year, it can be seen that the public supports the military. The number of people who apply for the military school this year has reached 31 to 1, so that the difficulty of applying for the military school has become the most difficult school.

And the most famous is King Edel,

Most of the people attribute Romania's current strength to the leadership of His Majesty. From the beginning of domestic industrialization, to the choice of the Balkan wars. Of course, it is the first battle on the team. This His Majesty chose exactly what was best for Romania. As for the subsequent occupation of Eastern Galicia and the annexation of Western Ukraine, his keen insight into the situation can also be fully seen.

Therefore, Edel's prestige in the country is now completely unmatched, so that Bretianu, who was inspired to bring Western European political ideas to Romania, was disheartened and planned to retire from the position of prime minister.

Therefore, after his uncle analyzed Bretianuzhen's intention to retire from the position of prime minister, Caraturi felt a little moved.

"And he told me about it alone to push me out to run for the prime minister's office."

"Yes, is there a better candidate in the Liberal Party than you?"

Caraturi analyzes the candidates in the Liberal Party, and no one else can become his obstruction. The ability is stronger than his own, and he can be more favored by His Majesty without himself. And more favored than themselves, lack of sufficient prestige in the government. Not to mention that he still has his uncle behind his back, plus he had no credit or hard work when he was prime minister, the Liberal Party really has no more suitable candidate than himself.

"I'm going to run for the premiership?"

Thinking of this, his heart was a little hot.

"But you have to think clearly about your own ideas and capabilities in governing. If you need to govern, what plan will you use to implement your ideas."

At this time, his uncle pulled him back from his greed for the prime minister's post. Sure enough, there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, not to mention the old man who was the prime minister.

Facing his uncle's words, Caraturi said after careful consideration: "At present, Romania needs to turn its energy to developing the domestic economy, which I am good at. As for diplomacy and other aspects, it is necessary to ask His Majesty's opinion."

It seems that Karatuli is self-aware and knows what he is not good at, and he intends to follow His Majesty's instructions on these issues. Some people may say that doing so is simply reducing the power of the prime minister, but these people are completely standing and talking without back pain. At present, between the Romanian monarchy and the prime minister, it is obvious that the former occupies an absolute advantage, and if there is an advantage, there is a disadvantage. Politics is the art of mutual compromise, and it is understandable to cede some rights to the king for this reason.

Seeing that his nephew is very clear about the current political situation, he also has his own thoughts in his heart. So Stulier finally said: "It seems that you have a very good understanding of what the Prime Minister needs to do next, so I won't say more. But the plan you drafted to establish a heavy industrial zone must be implemented quickly. This can completely become your The last thing to do as Minister of Industry is to discuss with the Prime Minister more. After all, he has no worries about retiring himself. He can do more work in this regard. After all, our Majesty is also a reasonable person."

The old fox is worthy of being an old fox. He is almost eighty years old and still has such foresight.

And his words made Karatuli's eyes bright, and it was completely feasible to package his plan as a remuneration for the Prime Minister's retirement. And even if the promoter of this plan is changed to His Excellency the Prime Minister, the person who can execute it will be himself, which will benefit him a lot in the future. Not to mention that this plan has a great effect on Romania, I believe Your Majesty will definitely see the benefits.

Caraturi did what he said, he left his uncle's house that night and rushed to the Prime Minister's house immediately. After a secret talk between the two, the Prime Minister rushed to the palace with this plan early in the morning.

In the palace, after a secret discussion between the Prime Minister and His Majesty, Karatuli's plan was approved.

Finally, the plan to build a heavy industrial zone in Eastern Galicia will be funded by the royal family issuing domestic bonds. The total investment of the whole plan reached 3.1 billion lei, of which 2.8 billion lei was raised. The major domestic banks are the bond issuance contractors. As expected, these long-term bonds are not easy to sell in China, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer Albert said, but fortunately someone took over.

Among them, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China ate 80% of the bonds, which also led to an extreme shortage of funds for the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Fortunately, the situation was gradually eased with the endorsement of the royal family, but in the subsequent development of Romania, the development of other businesses of ICBC was much lower than that of other banks.

After eating these bonds, the royal family's funds have been almost completely emptied, and the next step is to look at the government's role in promoting economic development.
