In the Galatz railway station, the top brass of the 12th Division, led by the division commander Fereitt, were waiting for the arrival of the crown prince and the chief of the general staff.

After seeing the train entering the station, Fereit and others stepped forward to greet him. Seeing Eder and Prishan stepping out of the train, division commander Fereit stepped forward to speak on behalf of the 12th Division.

"It is an honor for our entire division to welcome His Highness and the Chief of the General Staff to come and inspect the 12th Division."

Eder and Preshan looked at the straight division commander Fereit standing in front of them.

Edel knew it was time to go into battle on his own. "General Fereit, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am very grateful to the officers of the 12th Division for coming to greet me, and I hope that you will perform well tomorrow. ”

After some cordial and friendly exchanges, Commander Fereit went back with the people, and Eder and Prishan arrived at their accommodation by car. After a night's rest, Eder and his party entered the barracks of the 12th Division, preparing to review the 12th Division.

"Your Highness, Chief of General Staff, all the officers and men of the 12th Division are ready and waiting for the review of the two of them." The commander of the division came forward to give a military salute, and shouted loudly after the salute.

After Eder and Presan returned the salute, Fereit led them to inspect the officers and men of the 12th Division. After seeing the crown prince and his entourage coming, the officer on duty shouted a password. "Stand upright."

As the password was issued, the soldiers lined up in a uniform formation, waiting for the crown prince and his party to review.

"The soldier is in good shape." As Eder walked through the queue, he praised Commander Fereitt.

"It's all the result of the hard training of the soldiers." Of course, Fereit will not say that this is the result of intensive training in the last month in order to increase the influence of the crown prince. After the previous review experience, the top brass of the army knew that the crown prince was interested in the queue, and all of them showed the queue and mental state in front of the crown prince like monkeys. Eder, who was deeply influenced by his previous life, certainly liked this way of expression. Preshan also turns a blind eye to this kind of thing, as long as he passes the military calculations, then there is no problem.

After reviewing the queue, Eder watched a rifle shooting drill. This training was much more professional, and officers from the General Staff Headquarters formed a platoon from the 12 th Division to observe their rifle shooting accuracy and movement skills. This move can basically show the training level of a division, which is relatively fair.

After a round of firing at a fixed target of two hundred meters with ten bullets, the statistics came out.

After seeing this report, Eder and his entourage, who were watching the shooting training on the side, were the first to evaluate it as the chief of the General Staff. "With an average score of 76.4, that's not bad."

Faced with the praise of the Chief of the General Staff, the division commander of Ferreut said his own way. "Every month, we have to summarize the shooting training of the soldiers and solve the various problems that arise. Let the soldier who shoots well teach his comrades experience, and at the same time program the shooting essentials to make every soldier memorize. ”

Hearing the method of the division commander of Fereitt, the chief of the general staff, Preshan, thought it was very good. And Eder felt that this method was so familiar, and if he thought about it carefully, it was not President Yuan's method that was improved in Romania.

"Commander Fereitt's method is very much in line with the situation in Romania, and I think it should be promoted." Eder spoke to Prishan beside him.

"I also approve of the method of Division Commander Ferreuit, there is no problem in promoting the whole army. In fact, this method can be expanded, and weapon maintenance and tactical requirements can be compiled into minor tunes, so that soldiers can better remember. "Preshan was worthy of being the chief of the General Staff, and soon thought of more military skills for the soldiers to remember.

Many Romanian soldiers are illiterate and have a very poor understanding of many tactical requirements and weapon maintenance. This made Presan as the chief of the General Staff very nerve-wracking, and the method of the division commander of Fereit was a good choice.

Hearing the praise of the crown prince and the chief of the general staff, Fereit was a little embarrassed to speak. "It wasn't my own idea, a friend wrote to me. He heard about a general surnamed Yuan in China and told me about it as an anecdote. ”

"Commander Fereitt, we don't have to worry about who came up with it, as long as it is a good idea, we can use it." Edel supported the idea with great fanfare. (Look at piracy without this treatment.) ）

After watching the soldiers' rifle shooting, Eder and his party also watched the machine gun shooting performance of the 12th Division, which was also very good, making the group feel that the trip was worthwhile.

When it was his turn to perform the most important artillery, Eder asked the division commander of Ferreut. "Is it possible to do indirect shelling outside the line of sight?"

In the face of the crown prince's question, division commander Fereit of course knew about this now state-of-the-art artillery bombardment technique. However, it required a lot of training, and Commander Fereit answered the Crown Prince's questions truthfully. "Your Highness, our training has not yet met this requirement."

"Your Highness, we are now only half of the divisions that can achieve this standard. Now the reorganization of the 12th Division has only been completed, and the 12th Division still needs to train for a period of time. "Preshan also explained to the crown prince.

When Edel heard the words of Prisan and Fereitt, he knew he had asked a stupid question. However, as a military enthusiast, it is understandable to ask some high requirements, and who dares to say that the crown prince does not understand military affairs, it can only be that the crown prince has higher expectations for the army.

"Mastering indirect artillery technology as an artillery is a new requirement of the Romanian army, and it is hoped that the army can increase the training of artillery and achieve it as soon as possible."

In the face of the crown prince's change of question to his expectations for the army, Preeshan, as the chief of the General Staff, could only cooperate. "Thank Your Highness for your expectations of the army, and after you go back, you will arrange to strengthen the training of artillery."

After opening this chapter, Eder and Presan continued to observe the level of drills of the 12th Division. Here I have to admit that the division commander Fereit still has two brushes, whether it is the artillery shelling of the target, or the display of company and platoon tactics, it shows his reasonable arrangement of the training of the 12th Division. This made both Eder and Presan very satisfied, and felt that this trip was worth it.

After watching the reorganization of the 12th Division, Eder began to inquire about the situation of the Russian troops on the other side of the river. As the most convenient place for the Russian army to raid, Galatz has always been the focus of Romania's defense, but there is an intuitive understanding of where to look at the report, so Eder wanted to ask the opinion of the front-line army this time.

"Commander Fereit, how is the movement of the Russian army on the other side of you?"

In response to the crown prince's question, Fereit knew the prince's intentions and explained the dynamics of the Russian army. "His Highness was stationed on the other side of the Danube, the seventeenth division of the Russian army and a Cossack cavalry division. The cavalry division, which was only transferred in April this year, is currently stationed at a distance of 15 kilometers from the border in Vulkniesti, and the 17th division is stationed on the line of Reni on the other side of the river. In the face of pressure from the Russian army, our 12th Division was confident that it could block the attack on the two divisions. If the cavalry divisions stationed in the rear can come forward to support, we are confident that we will be able to defeat the two divisions on the opposite side. ”

In the face of the rhetoric of Division Commander Fereyt, Eder could see the results of the reorganization of the army in recent years, and now the top brass of the army has turned from fear to fear in the face of the Russian army. In the face of the army's self-confidence, Eder certainly will not fight but also encourage.

"Only a hero like Commander Fereit can make Romania stronger."

After some observations, Eder and Prishan boarded the train back to Bucharest. Both were very satisfied with the performance of the 12th Division, and it was believed that in the near future, the performance of the Romanian army would surprise everyone.
