Lviv in winter is covered in snow, which makes the whole city look much better. Today, however, Lviv is a little more lively, with military and police on duty all around, and people on both sides of the street holding national flags cheering for passing motorcades.

Eder was in the convoy, and he was joined by Lviv Mayor Osbik. This time, Eder took time out of his busy schedule to come to Lviv, mainly because of the importance of this heavy industrial city.

"Your Majesty, at present Lviv is the most abundant in the steel and petrochemical industries, followed by the machinery industry, then other heavy industries, and the light industry is the most strained in the textile industry."

In Chellyosbek the mayor is reporting to Eder on the current state of industrial production in Lviv. Because he knew that Eder's visit this time must have a lot to do with the decline in industrial capacity in Lviv this year.

This year, the output value of Lviv's industry has decreased by 5-15 percent compared with last year, of which the largest decrease is in light industry, and then in other industries unrelated to the military industry, as for the vital iron and steel, petroleum, and machinery manufacturing industries, the decrease is not much, but it is still somewhat reduced.

Among other things, Lviv's steel production this year is 4.21 million tons, 210,000 tons less than last year. Although the number of workers in the steel mill has not decreased much, it still has a great impact on raw materials and transportation.

This is still the main focus of industries such as steel and oil, and it is even worse for other industries. In particular, the service sector has suffered a lot of losses, which has now been reduced to 64% of the number of employees. And that's just the industrial situation, it's even worse in agricultural production.

As more conscripts are recruited from rural areas, the number of people employed in agriculture is decreasing. At present, the number of people employed in agriculture in Romania has dropped from 11.34 million to 10.47 million, of which half of the lost population is in the army, and most of them are young men.

If you want to say that Romania has the highest priority to ensure production, agricultural machinery is definitely the first place. Among them, the production capacity of the Lviv No. 2 Machine-Building Plant, which is the main agricultural machinery, has been reduced from 45 units at the peak to about 24 units now. All other capacities are produced by tractors to help agriculture with possible loss of production.

As for other industries, the extractive industry has expanded to a certain extent due to wartime, and the number of employees in the extractive industry has increased from 1.13 million to 1.2 million. Because at present, many resources in Romania need to be exploited by themselves.

As for the manufacturing industry, Romania currently employs 10.76 million people, 130,000 fewer than before. The main area of reduction is mainly light industry, and the current domestic people's living needs have been depressed due to wartime.

Therefore, the scale of light industry has also been suppressed to a certain extent, whether it is in the raw materials or transportation and circulation basins, it is ranked behind.

And the government is mobilizing more women into factories to free up the male labor force to meet the needs of the military.

The number of troops mobilized in Romania has now reached 2.6 million, and the rapid growth is still due to the initial increase in mobilization, and the military plans to mobilize 3 million by June '40. In order to increase the mobilization, Romania is now in the fourth group of conscripts, mainly men aged 20-35 without disabilities. The militia and reserves that had been conscripted before had been mobilized, and the fourth mobilization was mainly used as a supplement to supplement the damaged and disgruntled troops.

No one will be spared from this war, and every manpower will be squeezed out.

Of course, we must not forget the Jews who were exchanged, and more than 1,500,000 Jews have been sent from Germany and Italy, and with the German acquisition in Poland, it is expected that within three months, the German side will send another 500,000 Jews. And these Jews were able to free many workers from heavy work.

And this is already very good for the Jews, who want to go back to the concentration camps without seeing it. Although I was a little tired when I came to Romania, at least I didn't have to worry about my life. Of course, among them, the talents who are useful to Romania will be selected.

In addition, the number of employees in commercial finance is decreasing, and there are only 1.81 million people in Romania, 310,000 fewer than before. This also has a lot to do with the fact that Romania is not too prosperous in this area, and of course it also has a lot to do with whether the government has too much support.

However, in the transport sector, it is a different story, and the Romanian transport and communications industry is currently growing rapidly, even during the war. Of course, wartime transport needs to be regulated, but it still does not affect the prosperity of the transport industry.

Eder also came here because Lviv was too important in Romania, and the Eastern Galicia region was the most important to Romania until a new heavy industrial base was acquired.

"Mayor Osbik, I have seen the efforts of Your Excellency Lviv in the development of Lviv, and these are unavoidable."

Edel comforted the mayor in front of him, telling him not to worry too much.

Because Eder also knew that the industry and agriculture of any country would be affected by a big war. The semi-mobilization system in Romania had been operating at full capacity. It can be said that the current advantages of Romania are all due to Romania's early mobilization.

Of course, Romania is much better off than the impoverished German government, which has been on the verge of bankruptcy for many years, and it can be said that war is its only way out.

However, the semi-mobilization system has actually hollowed out Romania's finances, and if the war does not come in another year, Romania will also follow in the footsteps of Germany, and there is only one way to go bankrupt. It can be said that if Germany does not fight, Romania will have to fight in a year, because at the moment Romania does not have much money financially.

Of course, this is also why, with the strength of the world's fifth industrial country, Romania was able to fight like a bamboo in the early stage, because this is all the money that Romania has accumulated over the years.

As Eder's convoy drove through the city into the suburbs, it was a great way to see it. On both sides of the road are more fenced factories, and Mayor Osbik is constantly introducing Eder.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the Rasr Machinery Factory, which produces wire drawing machines that are sold all over the world, but due to the outbreak of the war, the factory is trying to transfer to the military industry."

"This is the Lohr textile factory, the canvas produced by the factory is used in all walks of life, but at present, the production capacity of the factory has been absorbed by the military industry, mainly producing backpacks and lanyards."

"It's ......"

On Eder's way to the No. 2 Machine-Building Plant, the mayor kept introducing the factories along the road. It can be seen that the mayor is very familiar with this, and a lot of data is at his fingertips.

And in the mayor's introduction, Eder came to the door of the Second Machine-Building Plant.
