Romanian Eagle

Chapter 173 Pregnancy

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! It has snowed heavily in Romania in November, and people are wearing thick winter clothes. In the capital Bucharest's Royal Palace, Crown Prince Eder is sitting in a warm office discussing the progress of material reserves with Prime Minister Bretianu.

"Prime Minister Bretianu, now Romania's various reserves of materials should be accelerated."

Eder looked at the progress of the stockpiles in his hands and expressed his dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Bretianu.

"His Royal Highness, the temperature outside in winter has dropped to minus ten degrees, which has caused a lot of decrease in the efficiency of workers. Coupled with the huge increase in imports this year, dock stevedores have not been on vacation for two months. So now their efficiency has declined. Too many, and now the throughput efficiency of the terminal can only be achieved”

In the face of the crown prince's dissatisfaction, Prime Minister Bretianu can only speak of the current difficulties.

After hearing Prime Minister Bretianu's words, Edel said it without thinking. "Then increase the number of dock workers and improve their pay."

"His Royal Highness, the government has made such a proposal to the port company before, but most of the terminal loading and unloading business is now done by private individuals. Our government cannot force them to increase their manpower."

Prime Minister Bretianu spoke about the situation that the government is facing now. That's right, port loading and unloading in various countries are now handed over to private companies to operate. They purchase part of the port's wharf and recruit manpower to carry out the loading and unloading business.

Take Romania's largest and most advanced Port of Constanta as an example. There are 18 private companies, large and small, providing loading and unloading services at the port. They divide up the civilian port of Constanta and compete with each other. Today you reduce the loading and unloading costs, tomorrow I will increase the loading and unloading speed, and sometimes they will use some unsightly means to attack the opponent, but in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

It's just that these private companies also have the financial resources to purchase large-scale port machinery and equipment in the face of the sudden busy port scene. Labor alone cannot meet the current surge in imports and exports. Moreover, recruiting more loading and unloading workers also requires greater expenditure. Obviously, these private loading and unloading companies are recruiting more workers to make profits, but the loading and unloading equipment has not increased. Relying on more manpower will reduce efficiency and they are unwilling to do so. reason.

After hearing the reasons stated by the Prime Minister, Eder knew that the government was really not good at intervening in this regard. However, this is not a problem for the crown prince. Under his subordinates, Milok and Carust are both suitable to do such a thing. Obviously, Prime Minister Bretianu also has such an idea.

"Prime Minister, tell me about this, you need to speed up the number of purchases."

Eder had not considered the throughput of the port before. He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Nigeria had also experienced insufficient port throughput, and it took a year for the bulk-purchased materials to be loaded on the transport ship before they were completely unloaded. At that time, after Nigeria's independence, Nigeria had an ambitious plan to develop domestically. They purchased a large amount of machinery and materials from all over the world, and soon a large amount of materials were transported to the Nigerian ports at that time. At this time, the government found that its port throughput was completely insufficient, so a large number of Machinery and supplies can only float at sea, waiting to be unloaded at the port. It was a well-known counter-example at the time, and I didn't expect Eder to make this mistake himself.

"ta~ta~ta"

While Edel and Prime Minister Bretianu were discussing the problems in the port, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in"

Edel stopped discussing with the Prime Minister and waited for the guard's report.

Sure enough, a guard walked into the office with a smile on his face, he walked over to Edel and said a word quietly.

"Really?"

After hearing the news, Edel asked again a little uncertainly.

"Yes, Your Highness, Dr. Rodsk has been confirmed."

The guards told the exact news. Edel knew that Dr. Rodsk, as a family doctor of the royal family, did not dare to say such words under uncertain circumstances.

Then what the guard said was true.

Prime Minister Bretianu saw that the guards and the crown prince were playing a riddle, and he had some guesses in his heart, but he still asked with the same expression. "Your Highness, can you please tell me?"

Edel said with a smile. "It's okay Prime Minister, Sophie Marie is pregnant and Dr Rodske has confirmed that she has more than a month."

After hearing the happy words of Crown Prince Eder, Prime Minister Bretianu also said happily. "His Royal Highness, congratulations on your becoming a father."

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. That's it for today. I don't have the mood to continue dealing with things now."

Prime Minister Bretianu also said with a smile. "Understandable, you must know that when I heard the news of my wife's pregnancy for the first time, I was even worse than His Highness."

After the Prime Minister finished his congratulatory words, it was suggested. "Go and see Her Royal Highness, I need my husband by her side at this time."

After hearing the Prime Minister's suggestion, Edel stood up and followed the guards to his room in a hurry. He was now eager to see his wife.

Prime Minister Bretianu looked at the departing crown prince and was not ready to stay any longer. He will also share the news that the Crown Princess is pregnant. Even in the era when the kingship of later generations has declined, news about the royal family is still the focus of people's pursuit, not to mention that in Romania, a country where the kingship is still very strong, the news of the pregnancy of the crown prince and concubine is believed to be more anticipated. Not to mention these days when members of the Hohenzollern Sigmaringen family are few and far between.

Edel quickly came to his room. His parents, King Carroll and Queen Elizabeth, had come here long ago, talking with his wife Sophie Mary lying on the bed. At this time, seeing Edel who hurried back, her mother, Queen Elizabeth, turned her head and talked about him.

"Edel, you should pay more attention to your wife, I don't want to have tea with Sophie Marie today, and I asked Dr. Rodske to check her pregnancy when she was suddenly nauseous, otherwise we wouldn't even know about it. over a month."

In the face of his mother's education, Edel smirked and accepted his mother's reprimand, and looked at his wife with concern.

Seeing Queen Elizabeth scolding her husband for not caring enough about her, Sophie Marie told Edel to relieve the siege. "Don't talk about Edel, Mom. He is also for this country. He is usually busy with work. I understand him very well."

Hearing Sophie Marie's words to relieve her husband, Elizabeth was just pretending, but Edel could really reprimand her son, she turned her head and said to her daughter-in-law Sophie Marie. "Okay, I won't talk about him, it's all about the couple, but now that you're pregnant, you need to rest more."

"Good mother."

Elizabeth saw the loving couple and told them about it. "Then you can talk more, and your father and I will go back."

Seeing this, Edel planned to send her parents, but was stopped by Queen Elizabeth, who had expected it. "You spend more time with your wife, and your father and I don't need to send it."

After speaking, he and Carol I walked out of the room.

After watching his parents walk out the door, Edel turned around and walked to Sophie Marie's side, leaned down and touched Sophie Marie's hand and said affectionately. "Thank you so much, Sophie."

In the face of her husband's concern, Sophie Marie also said happily. "It's okay. It's my wife's duty."

Soon the news of the Crown Princess's pregnancy spread, and there were cheers in Romania. And Austria-Hungary soon sent people to come to care for Princess Sophie Marie.
