Chapter 226： National education (above)

The news of the battle between the German and French forces in Verdun was immediately passed to Edel. Facing this battle, Edel only knew that it was the battle with the heaviest casualties in the First World War, and everything else was almost forgotten.

However, the decisive battle between Germany and France has now eased Romania’s pressure from the side. Not everyone can calmly face that all their neighbors join the war, and they are as stable as Mount Tai.

At least stationed in Bulgaria, the German 11th Army led by Marshal Mackensen is not expected to stay long. When the German army was not seriously injured, Edel did not want to face the world's strongest army. This is not in Romania’s interest, and certainly not in his interest.

Edel put down Verdun's intelligence and brought out a piece of news about the country. This is a report on the statistics of Romanian school students sent by the Ministry of Education, and Edel is looking at it carefully.

As for education, Edel, a good young man born in New China and raised in a red flag in the new century, is certainly not unfamiliar. There are still some memories of the education I received in my previous life.

The current situation in Romania is somewhat similar to that of his home country in the previous life, so some methods in the previous life can also provide some references for Romania. Now Adel is thinking about using education to improve the quality of Romanian citizens and prepare for the future.

Edel, who has lived in Romania for more than 20 years, has a deep understanding of the characteristics of the Romanian people.

Because of Romania’s fertile land, the Romanians are not very good. From the earliest rule of the Roman Empire, to the Avars, Slavs, Kumans, Tatars, and finally the Ottomans. In the history recorded in Romania, Romanians have been ruled by various ethnic groups. This makes Edel, who has memories of later lives, feel a little helpless. In the textbooks of previous lives, the small amount of time ruled by other peoples has always been a history of humiliation.

If you read Romanian history books, they are all kinds of oppressed history, which makes Edel feel that it is urgent to transform Romania's habits. In fact, Romania has been doing it in recent years, but they are more from the direction of nationalism. But nationalism is a double-edged sword. If you don’t master it well, it will turn into populism, which can easily hurt yourself.

So Edel has always believed that a new direction is needed, but fortunately there is a ready-made reference target, that is, the method of reunifying Germany. Someone might say that the future generations of the motherland also did a good job in this regard. In fact, Edel also considered it, but in the end he gave up this idea. Because Romania does not have a strict political group that is ordered to take effect, the way to learn from the motherland in the previous life is too much for granted.

As we all know, Germany did not become a major European power until Prussia unified Germany in the loosely divided Central European land in the early to mid-nineteenth century. Among them, continuous investment in education is the key to Germany's strength, and Edel also intends to take this path.

However, unlike Germany, Romania is under greater pressure to rise. With the development of science and technology, the gap between European countries is getting bigger and bigger. It is better than Germany to face Britain and France alone in two-line combat, and it can free up one hand to fight Russia. A weak country can only survive by relying on a strong country.

Edel, who is a Chinese in his bones, can't bear it, his own destiny is in control of others. That's why he needs to lead Romania into the negotiating table of the great powers to have his own seat, instead of waiting for the rulings of the great powers.

Then increasing investment in education will also be the main means. Of course, controlling the direction of public opinion is just as important, and Edel will not relax neither.

There are now 951,600 students in Romania and 15,700 teachers. The number of students has reached 10.5% of the population, and the number of students taught by each teacher has dropped to 60.6. It is much better than Romania in the previous life, but it still falls short of Edel's expectations.

We must know that Germany, known for its emphasis on education, has reached a terrifying number of 11.67 million students in schools across the country with its 65 million population. This will mean that the students at school will reach 17.95% of the total population, which basically covers all the education-aged population in Germany. Every German is educated, which allows Germans to compete with other countries in all aspects.

The education in Edel's mind will also look like this, but his goal will also be bolder. He intends to take advantage of the current good economic situation in Romania to launch nine-year compulsory education. This is not the result of Edel's swelling heart that wants to be the world's number one country that values ​​education, but the result of his careful consideration.

To transform the characteristics of a nation requires long-term funding, a change in social cognition, and the guidance of public opinion. Moreover, this kind of investment can only be guided slowly, and it will take decades. Now Romania can’t wait for decades.

In Edel's mind, World War II was the last chance for Romania to rise. If this opportunity is missed, unless Romania has a territory of 9.6 million square kilometers, a population of over one billion, plus a political party with super organizational capabilities. Keep moving forward in accordance with the established goals, and only then can we achieve a breakthrough in the fixed social pattern after World War II. None of these Romanians are available, so World War II will also be the last chance.

At the same time, educated and highly qualified citizens ~ www.novelhall.com~ no matter what job they will do in the future, they will be better than those without education, including the military. This is what Edel thinks is the key. Although Romania now has a strong standing army of 400,000 troops, it has been trained for decades.

You should know that the training of recruits in Romania reaches 15 weeks, which is longer than the training time of recruits of various powers. In this respect, it can be said that the Romanian army attaches great importance to training, but is it not a way that the quality of the people's resources is not as good as that of other powers and is a last resort?

You know, according to the Romanian military's investigation, the effect of German recruits training for 12 weeks is better than Romanian recruits training for 15 weeks. Regardless of the understanding of skills and tactics, or the understanding of military orders, it is a goal that Romanian recruits cannot surpass. This is the convenience brought by high-quality citizens, and it is also the temptation that Edel cannot refuse.

What's more, Romania has a population of only 16 million, even with ethnic people from abroad, which is far less than the current 30 or 40 million population of the great powers. Romania can't use the tactics of competing against consumption. Therefore, cultivating high-quality citizens belonging to Romania has become the top priority of Edel's consideration. ()
