"Your Majesty, this is information from the Soviet Union."

Eder, who had just returned to Bucharest, saw the chief of the guard, Horia, rushing in with a telegram.

Eder attached great importance to the Soviet Union, his lifelong enemy, so he immediately took the telegram and read it.

This is the news of the decision of the USSR to carry out the first five-year plan. At this time, there was no precedent for such a detailed plan for construction in the world, and the Soviets saw the precedent. In fact, Eder's industrialization in Romania has a bit of a shadow of this kind of plan. However, Romania does not have the ultra-high executive power of the Soviet Union, and cannot do the harsh execution according to the schedule.

Eder can only lead the development in Romania, and at most introduce preferential policies to lure capital to the industry.

The Soviet Union's five-year plan, which Eder was looking for, was to deal with the construction of heavy industries related to national strength, such as automobiles, aircraft manufacturing, chemical synthesis, and large-scale machinery and equipment manufacturing.

And in this five-year plan, Eder also saw the goal of building collective farms. The term collective farm Eder was not at all unfamiliar, and in his previous life his own family was from a rural background, so his essence was clear. This is just a quick way to take advantage of the difference between workers and peasants to harvest peasant income and subsidize industrial construction.

And the Soviet Union's agricultural reform was not a warm vein, but was built on sucking the blood of the peasants. The attitude of the League towards the peasants can be seen from the machine-gun grain requisition team, and the peasants of the Soviet Union will be affected by it in the future.

However, although the style of action is a little uncomfortable, it has to be said that the Soviet Union is also very fast in the development of industry. In less than five years, it has transformed its semi-industrial and semi-agricultural country into an industrial country that is beginning to take shape. Despite all the problems, this pace of development is unprecedented in history, and this is the terrible thing about the Soviet model.

Thinking of its terrifying rate of development, Eder felt a deep sense of pressure. It seems that Romania also needs to make a targeted plan. Not to undermine the development of the Soviet Union, of course, unless Romania had the idea of ending up with it. and the outbreak of a large-scale war with the USSR. Eder didn't think that way during the civil war, and he didn't think so. Since the USSR was developing rapidly, Romania could not relax either. Don't try to catch up, but don't fall too far behind.

Thinking of this, Eder immediately approached Prime Minister Karaturi to discuss the economic development of Romania, and there was a question that could not be delayed.

……

"Your Majesty, you want to reform agriculture?"

When Karaturi arrived at the palace, he was amazed when he heard Eder's plan.

Karaturi could not help but marvel, because this time Eder intended to deepen Romania's mechanized farming, free up more labor into the cities, and accelerate Romania's industrialization.

Of course, Eder didn't intend to do the same model of mechanized farming on large farms as in the United States. On the contrary, it was decided to use the road of industrial agriculture according to local conditions.

In later generations, industrial agriculture appeared in the news and newspapers, but Eder thought it was just a sublimation of the Oriental style of intensive farming. If the government wants to change to industrialization, there will be no need for so many peasants in the country, and one or two hundred million yuan will be enough.

However, it would be a disaster for the country, and too many peasants would be overwhelmed by state facilities and public welfare institutions. And the influx of too many people into cities will also increase the burden on cities, and there will not be enough jobs to provide.

Of course, these problems for the posterity of the motherland do not exist at all in Romania. Of the nearly 500,000 square kilometers of the country, 43% is plain, 28% is hilly, and 29% is mountainous. The vast plains gave Romania enough arable land, and the population of Romania had just reached 30 million (early 1927).

It can be said that there is not enough population to industrialize in Romania, which is why there are many migrant workers in Romania. Of course, every country has nationalism, and this problem is most acute when the national power is rising rapidly (e.g., South Korea, Japan). Fortunately, domestic public opinion has been guiding these national sentiments not to focus on these foreigners who come to work.

This time, spurred on by the Soviet Five-Year Plan, Eder decided to attack Romania's pillar agriculture.

Don't look at Romania's agriculture on weekdays, but the weight of agriculture in Romania is not low. The name of Europe's second-largest grain exporter (which for some time climbed to the top) speaks volumes about Romania's agricultural roots.

However, although Romania has a strong reputation as a major grain exporter, Romanian agriculture is still far behind the developed regions of Western Europe, and this is still under the premise of Eder promoting mechanized farming at home. As for the newly seized territories such as Western Ukraine, which are still dominated by animal husbandry, the nature of Romanian agriculture is still unchanged.

And now, Eder believes that it is time to change the structure of production in agriculture.

So in the face of the Prime Minister's inquiry, Eder replied firmly. "That's right. I'm going to upgrade farming. There is still a lot of livestock farming in Romania, which confines too many people to the countryside, and now is the time for great industrial development, and these people cannot be allowed to be tied up by the land. ”

Although Karaturi has always been in the industrial sector, it does not mean that he does not know anything about agriculture, especially after becoming prime minister, and he needs to know more or less about the situation in all walks of life in the country. So he couldn't help but say. "Your Majesty, at present, the agricultural reform in the old territory is okay, but the new territory is afraid that it is a little difficult to handle the agricultural reform. Especially in the former Russian territories, there is still some Russian serfdom style there. Although the serfdom has weakened considerably since joining our country, there is no guarantee that there will be no opposition in the region. ”

After hearing the Prime Minister's concern, Eder replied indifferently. "What are they dissatisfied with, do they still want to return to Russia, Tsarist Russia has become history, there is only the Red Soviet Union. Do these people still dare to run away to the Soviet Union? ”

You must know that the collectivized farms in the Soviet Union were a big pit, which could kill the peasants of the Soviet Union.

Karaturi could hear from Eder the monarch's determination to upgrade agriculture at the expense of the landowners of the former Russian territories. Perhaps these beneficiaries will endure temporary pains after seeing the scenes of agriculture in the interior of Romania. Otherwise, what else can these people do, to vote for Russia or for independence, to vote for Russia is to kill themselves, and if they want to be independent, it is the same. No one in the surrounding countries wants to see the Ukrainians have the idea of independence, and then it will be suppressed by several countries.

"Your Majesty, I will go back and discuss with other ministers and come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible."

"Go ahead."

Looking at the departing prime minister, Eder wanted to see if these former Russian residents were patriots.
