The new Great Power Council in Bulgaria did not arouse Eder's idea, after all, it was nothing more than a loose organization formed by a few literati.

And what the two bold guys did finally reached his ears.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a talent under Caust."

This was Edel's first reaction after reading the report sent by the former chief of guard.

However, unlike Eder's understatement, Calustre, as its leader, was not very polite to those two guys. The two men were suspended and put into custody for the time being, and then the whole thing was reported to Eder. After all, this matter concerns His Majesty, and he can't make decisions privately.

Looking at what seemed like a serious thing, Eder didn't think it was serious. This may also be different from the perspective of the two, not only has Caluster been the chief of the guard before, but others are more focused on out-of-the-ordinary behavior.

"Since they claim to have been sent by me, then give them this authority. However, if the negotiations with Krupp were not successful, they would be imprisoned on charges of impersonating envoys. ”

Edel thought for a moment before making a decision on the matter. Of course, this kind of self-imposed behavior cannot be tolerated. However, Eder saw that they could talk to Krupp to this extent, and they were also very capable. It can be regarded as cherishing talents, and intends to give them a chance to atone for their sins. If it can't be done, of course, it will be punished for several crimes, and it can also be a warning to others.

Considering that they need to negotiate, Eder continued: "In addition, the bottom line of the negotiations between China and Krupp is that Krupp will take a stake in technology and equipment, and we will invest money and land to build a new weapons factory. Half of the shares of this plant will be given to the company, and we will give up to 50 million lei to research and development, the results of which must go to the new plant, and the weapons purchased by the German and Romanian military will be exempt from patent fees. ”

When Eder finished explaining the new plan given by Romania, the guards in charge of recording immediately took it and prepared to send a report to Germany.

The new chief of the guard, Horia, walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Marshal Courtois is here. ”

"Let your Excellency Marshal come in."

As soon as Eder heard that Courtois was visiting, he immediately prepared to meet the old coach.

The new chief of the guard had only recently been promoted by Eder, mainly due to the fact that Caust had been busy with German affairs and had a hard time being by his side. And the position of the chief of the guard, who is in charge of the side, cannot always be short of people, so he promoted this steady Horia among the guards.

"Good day, Your Majesty."

The old marshal saluted Eder as soon as he entered.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to do this."

Eder immediately stepped forward to support him, the old marshal was old after all, and he didn't want the other party to make any mistakes.

After holding the other party, Edel asked, "Is there anything going on with the marshal's visit?" ”

Courtois, who was supported by Eder, was really fine, and he said, "Your Majesty, this time I have come to ask for permission to retire. ”

Hearing Courtois's words, Eder said: "Marshal, you can still work for Romania for many more years, why do you think about retiring. ”

Courtois' retirement had been rumored in the military for a long time. However, few people know that Courtois was rejected by Eder several times, and there is no follow-up.

And this time Courtois was obviously different, and he replied to Eder, who kept him: "Your Majesty, I am old and do not know much about new things. If I continue to stay at the War Department, it will be a hindrance to the escalation of the army. ”

In fact, he still has some things to say, and the current three giants in the military belong to him in name only. Because the generals he represents are all officers of the Carroll era, and these people are basically retired at present, and those who have gone elsewhere have gone elsewhere. The young and promising officers in the army, who are still close to him, have also led to a sharp decline in his influence in the army.

As a veteran who has worked in the army for many years, can he still not know what to do at this time. So retirement is the best way for him at the moment, after all, he can't wait until everyone else is about to loathe him before thinking of quitting. And as the first marshal of Romania, Courtois is also beautiful enough, and he can't rely on it because of this.

Although Courtois has many reasons, whether he retires or not depends on whether Eder agrees or not.

And in the face of the old marshal's retirement, Eder didn't really want to agree. "Marshal Courtois, the army is currently unable to do without you. The War Department has your valuable experience in stabilizing the inexperienced militant situation in the military, so can you think again. ”

Eder also has his own reasons for not agreeing to Courtois' retirement. Quite simply, he has yet to find a replacement for Courtois. If the old commander is retired like this, there are not enough prestige in the army at present to form a new triumvirate with Prishan and Fereit.

At present, among the generals in the group of Pulieshan, no one who has been suppressed by him can take the lead. Among the new generation of generals, Lieutenant General Mandiff and Lieutenant General Ankodar lack sufficient prestige and merit. You must know that General Fereit, who is currently in the limelight in the army, only came to prominence with the Balkan War, and only gained a firm foothold after his outstanding achievements in the subsequent World War I. It was also in the two wars of Soviet Russia that he became the most convincing general of the Romanian army.

And Lieutenant General Mandiff and Lieutenant General Ankodar both lack the credit of being alone, who can convince either of them to become giants.

Although Eder had difficulties, but this time it seemed that the old man was determined to retire, so he continued: "Your Majesty, it may be because I didn't pay attention when I was young, and my body is really not suitable to continue to work at present. I hope that Your Majesty can understand my difficulties and let me enjoy my old age in peace. ”

Faced with Courtois already talking about this, Eder couldn't persuade him anymore. After all, the old man has dedicated his life to the army, and it would be a bit unkind to ask the other party to continue to do it. So Eder could only say: "Since the marshal has already thought about it, then I accept your resignation." However, in the next few days, the old man will do his job well and wait for me to arrange someone to take over. ”

Hearing that Eder had agreed to the request, Courtois replied gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Eder felt a headache after seeing off Marshal Courtois. It's a good thing to say yes, but it's going to be a question of who will take over.

However, the news that Marshal Courtois's resignation had been approved soon spread among the army, and many people were surprised by the belated news. However, there are already smart people who want to take on the position of director of education next, which will be another battle for the dragon.

And the actions in the palace quickly dispelled their thoughts. In the subsequent reshuffling of the ranks of the army, the post of Minister of War was taken over by Marshal Prieshan, and the post of Chief of the General Staff was taken over by Colonel-General Fereitt. The post of director of education, which everyone is concerned about, is temporarily represented by Lieutenant General Mandif.

Lieutenant General Mandiv was ecstatic on the news, but it will depend on his performance. As for Lieutenant General Ankodal, he was also given the opportunity in this adjustment, and he was to be the commander of the First Army formed in Romania.

This is an attempt by the Romanian military for the tactical unit of the future troops. In the military's vision of future warfare, the divisional level, as a tactical unit, is not capable. So they experimented with whether they could form a higher level of tactical units, so the military level was born under such circumstances. As the first corps-level commander, Lieutenant General Ankodar still maintains a peep at the giants in the army.
