Austria 1840

"Uncle Carl, we still want to hear your story."

The next day, Maximilian took his younger brother and sister blindly and met the old war **** on the Royal Walk.

He was a little interested in the story of Uncle Carl, but not that high, but compared with the religion class in the afternoon, he still chose to play with the war god, at least it was not so dull.

"Max, go and call Franz too."

Old Carl was very interested in these three grand-nephews. The eldest is upright, the second is free, and the third can be described as cunning.

"Little Carl, what do you think, do you really want to join the army?"

The old war **** sent Tai Ritian and continued to walk with the two children.

"Uncle, you are the **** of war, and the needle of our Austrian Empire. I really want to learn military knowledge from you. As for sending it to the military academy, I have no interest."

Carl is very familiar with flattering before expressing his will.

The reason to keep an eye on old Karl is that he can live a few more years, and the second is to follow the future war god, Archduke Albrecht, Marshal of the Three Kingdoms, that is, the eldest son of Archduke Karl.

He also hopes to have some influence on the new military god, so that his political conservatives can relax, and it is best to learn from his own military enlightenment.

"It's not that I despise the military academies you founded, Uncle Carl, but, those military schools are for the outstanding people among the commoners, and also for the middle and upper talents among the nobles, but now he is more like for the nobles. The mediocre are gilded, I'm afraid that I can't get in and out, after all, it's easy to learn badly and difficult to learn well."

Little Carl turned around, looked at the old military god, and explained it seriously.

"If it wasn't for seeing that everything was normal for you, I would have suspected that you were possessed by a monster. Your current maturity is no worse than Franz and Max. I will come to the laboratory with me later, and I will find a chief surgeon to give You cut a slice and study it for them."

Old Carl is not a boring person. First praise this little thing, and then make a joke.

"Whether to go to the military academy or follow me? I'll talk about it later. I actually really want to bring all three of your brothers back for training, so that Franz can be more upright and flexible, and Max who has escaped can be more at ease."

"And you, I really want to see how cunning you are. Your last paragraph yesterday surprised everyone in the meeting. My lowest hope is that you all have a passing level or above in the military."

Ding Haishen had his own expectations for the three little things.

Little Carl wanted to hold a moment of silence for old Carl, but your expectations for the three guys didn't come true, and none of them reached the passing level.

"Uncle, uncle, I want to join the army too."

The silly and cute Maria began to steal the spotlight.

"Actually, I have no objection to women being in the army, and I even look forward to it. If you really want to, of course, you have to wait until you are a little older, such as 10 years old, and you are willing to receive military training. I can accept you."

The old military **** said.

Little Carl couldn't believe his eyes at all. This royal pillar of the most corrupt, conservative and backward empire was so immortal, not conservative and not backward.

Then he rubbed his eyes and thought about why the eldest son of the military god, the new generation of the military god, is so compatible with the empire - so rotten, conservative and backward.

How did these two masters become such a stark contrast? There are many shapes of Lake Balkhash appearing in little Karl's heart. Of course, it has to be turned 90 degrees clockwise, otherwise it will not look like a question mark.

"I really hope to see you grow up!"

The old military **** sighed.

"Uncle Karl, although you are almost 70 years old now, you are stronger than my father. Well, even if you don't compare with the patient number of Archduke Franz Karl, you are stronger than most 40-year-old ordinary people. Healthier than most aristocratic 50-year-olds."

Little Carl first gave his uncle a reassurance.

"But uncle, you have to drink less wine, your head is not yours alone, it belongs to the Habsburg family, it belongs to the Austrian Empire, without the approval of our entire family and the consent of the imperial parliament, no You're going to get dizzy from drinking your head."

Then the little thing came to persuade again, at this level, it's all right.

"Little Carl, you really know how to talk. You made me feel a little dizzy. It's better than drinking. When I want to drink, I will chat with you and save money.

"Based on your current situation, you can be a diplomat or prime minister in the future to assist Franz, contribute to the Habsburg family and the Austrian Empire."

After all, old Carl has worked hard for the country for half a century, and he always thinks about this family and this empire. It is really the pinnacle of the empire.

Little Carl knew that this old guy was 7 years later, that is, one day in 1847, he drank too much, he was still walking around, he accidentally fell, and his spine was broken. .

Otherwise, it will not be a problem for him to live for a few more years. You see, he can drink, and after drinking, he can still walk fast. This is a strong old guy, both physically and mentally strong.

When little Carl rolled his eyes, he had four complementary plans to prolong the age of the old warlord.

One is to persuade him to drink less alcohol to reduce the anesthetic effect of alcohol on nerves.

The second is to ask him to drink more milk, supplement calcium, and strengthen his bones, including the bones of the spine of course.

The third is to often do some training to strengthen the protective tissues of the vertebrae, such as chest expansion exercises, waist twisting and hip swinging, etc.

Fourth, find a masseuse to focus on massage and small beats to reduce the damage to the spinal tissue and increase the anti-fall and impact resistance of the spinal tissue.

At that time, I will dig a hole for the opposition of various countries. First, I will not let the old war **** show his face. Anyway, outsiders don't know whether he is dead or alive. The possibility of dying at this age is much higher than living.

In the future, when the war is stalemate, let him show up directly and let reporters send newspapers, which can inspire the hearts of the troops of one's own side and shock the hearts of the troops of the other side.

This guy walked while walking, but the expression on his face did not escape the eyes of the old military god.

"What bad thing are you trying to do? You look like a thief."

Old Carl asked casually.

"No, just thinking of playing tricks on the archbishop in the church, there is a new way."

Little Carl answered casually, talking nonsense, too far from the truth.

"Uncle the **** of war, brother, he will come here in half an hour, let's walk with you first. When Franz arrives, let's listen to your bragging.

Maximilian ran over, panting, to meet his uncle.

"You lied to your uncle, little Carl, you can tell by the way you smile."

The second brother came over and used his rich experience to defeat Carl, but since he has the Chinese core, and with the running-in in the past few days, he has been able to deal with the second brother easily.

"Do you think I'm like you, I often deceive people? Well, I've had the experience of deceiving people, but who do you think would lie to my uncle, the backbone of our family, and the Dinghaishenzhen of the Austrian Empire?"

Little Carl put on a big hat for his second brother while beeping, just like a young national table tennis player interacting with foreign players.

Maximilian stared at Karl for a while, he felt that the kid's tongue was sharper recently.

The appearance of this kid hasn't changed much. Judging from his experience in communicating with the third child over the past few years, it is alright. Within the scope of control, he can continue to carry out Songpi's strategic blackmail against the third child.

"Max, do you want to come with me to the army?"

Lao Ka stared at Maximilian and asked with a serious look.

"Uncle, to be honest, I'm really not very interested in the army, but I also know that our Habsburg family uses force to run the family and establish the country with force. As a boy, I will definitely go to the army for training in the future."

Little Carl didn't expect this second brother to be such a bachelor.

"Since you know that this is the responsibility of the family to you, then go ahead. Our Habsburg family needs warriors too much. I will talk to Mrs. Sophie later to see what she means to arrange the two of you."

After all, Archduke Karl is a military god, not only with high IQ, but also with far more emotional intelligence. Of course, he will respect Sophie and his wife, as well as Franz and Maximilian.

"What Mrs. Sophie said is true. The son of the King of Prussia entered the barracks at the age of 10. Our Habsburg family is not the same as the Hohenzollern family. They are the real ones who founded the country by force."

The old military **** mentioned it. Perhaps in his subconscious, Prussia's military was stronger than Austria's.

"In this era, force is indeed very important. Although the world is moving in a more civilized direction, a country's force value is still the most important."

When little Carl heard his uncle's words, he felt deafened.

"People outside don't think that the Habsburg family built the country by force and managed the family by force. Their common view is that the Habsburg family built the country by relying on the lower half of the body, that is, by marriage. This statement is not bad, but it is only true. part of it."

The reputation of the Habsburg family in the European aristocratic public opinion circle, the old guy knows it too. Carl thought.

"Any strong country must use force to establish its country, but if any strong country wants to continue to be strong, it can't always rely on force to act, otherwise it will be called using force."

What the old military **** said was sonorous and powerful, and little Carl listened with sympathy.

"It is possible to establish a country with military force, but the cost of governing the country with military force is too high, so our family has a new method of marriage. This cost is much lower than the cost of winning with force."

After listening to these few sentences, little Carl felt that the old uncle was too wasteful. He was much more skilled than little Carl's cheap grandfather and the elder brother of the old war god, Emperor Franz.

"Why Prussia still looks like a warrior, that's because they are still in the stage of establishing a state, while Austria is already in the stage of mature governance."

Old Carl further dissects.

However, Prussia is about to enter the second stage, governing the country, so Bismarck and other civil servants have come up. According to the theory of the old military god, little Carl verified the second half of Prussia in his heart.

"What's the problem with Austria? It's a long-standing peace and a decline in military force. Everything is done by taking shortcuts, and I'm not too prepared for what happens when shortcuts don't work."

Old Karl compares Prussia with Austria. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is definitely an insight.

"Actually, when it comes to ruling the country with the lower body, and relying on marriage for peace, this is basically what Europe does. You see that the spouses of these kingdoms and empires are all relatives. past marriage."

Old Carl analyzed it sharply.

Otherwise, how could World War I be caused by conflicts between relatives in Europe, or by Queen Victoria's grandson and grandchildren. Little Carl gave a case in his mind to support the old Carl's words, and then he thought about Chinese history.

Not only in Europe, but also in China, the Central Plains Dynasty sent their daughters to marry when they couldn’t defeat the barbarian tribes. The barbarian tribes couldn’t defeat the Central Plains Dynasty, so they sent their sons to be protons, and even recognized the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty as godfathers.

These are all mature political behaviors. Why don't diaosi understand? Because diaosi are too far from maturity, they are not even savage or jerky, they are at most a tadpole.

As for the brain circuit, the tadpoles don't have a brain, so how can there be a circuit?

"It's just that many of Austria's territorial development was obtained through marriage, and it was used to ridicule by those who developed it by force. In the end, this is a sophisticated behavior of a mature political body."

Old Carl strikes again.

"Equally to get the dominion of a duchy, there are two options, one is to marry a daughter or get a daughter-in-law, and the other is to use force to kill three or five sons, which one is more cost-effective?

"Mature politicians don't hesitate to choose the first plan. Only those with strong self-esteem—in fact, their self-esteem are too fragile, will feel that the first plan undermines his dignity."

As soon as old Carl said these words, little Carl felt that he would be comfortable in China, and he thought about the content of the textbooks on politics and history, and suddenly had a clear understanding.
