Austria 1840

"By the way, let's get down to business, Aunt Maria, I thought you could speak Serbian, then you can talk a few words in Serbian to get closer.

"If you can't know the Austrian language, you should stick to the Austrian language and talk about it. You can talk about the Austrian language baldly. What's the difference between catching a sheep and squeezing a sheep?

"Besides, the scholar of Uncle Carl's generation, isn't he Uncle John? It is said that he can do anything and be strong in everything except that he is unreliable."

Little Carl did not allow her to end the conversation.

"Serbian, I can speak a few words too, stumbling. Besides, who said that about Uncle John?"

Maria is not happy anymore. Uncle John is her idol. She pursues love and can even give up her royal welfare.

"Student Franz, and classmate Maximilian, I don't know who they listened to."

Little Carl immediately pulled two meat shields, but he couldn't say that he saw it on the Internet in later generations.

"Okay, when you are talking, you can also show respect in Serbian language. We are the top dignitaries, so please show some respect for our subjects, so that he can be moved."

Little Carl is skinny again.

"Oh, little Carl, can you use your words normally? I won't talk about you. Well, you don't need to tell me about it. I know it. I'm not a child."

"Auntie, I didn't plan to teach you, and I didn't treat you like a child. But you jumped and jumped on the boat. What's the difference between you and little Maria Anna? That's why I reluctantly warned you.

"After all, if we marry you, our Habsburg family will have a new skill."

"What new skills?" Curiosity really killed the cat.

"Turn waste into treasure." Little Carl ran away after saying that, but unfortunately he didn't.

"Little Carl, you can even make fun of your aunt. You have the guts to get fat."

He grabbed little Carl, this Maria Anna was actually quite sturdy.

"Maria, why are you bringing up little Carl?"

Here, old Carl has come back. I heard from the guard that they are here, so I came to have a look.

"Uncle, little Carl is going to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff. As an aunt, how can I allow him to do such an unreliable thing and disgrace our Habsburg family."

Maria was talking nonsense in a serious manner.

"That ravine is only ten meters deep, and it is full of bushes. If he jumps down, he will be blocked by the bushes. If he jumps down, he will not die, and he may become disabled and suffocated for the rest of his life."

Maria led little Carl in front of the old war **** and said:

"So I escorted him up, and there was a big protruding rock on the left. Although the ravine below was not much deep, there was no bushes blocking it. It should allow him to do as he wished and be sure to fall to his death."

Aunt Maria is also a waste of oil, little Carl lamented in his heart.

"You two, the big one is not like the big one, and the small one is not like the small one."

The old military **** has the feeling of the proprietress Tong Xiangyu, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I should not have brought two guys out in the first place, because the extra hard work they put out far exceeded my serious work.

"Have dinner with Colonel Miller, Lieutenant Colonel Fisher, Lieutenant Colonel Webb, and a few majors in the evening."

After the old God of War finished speaking, he left. But the smart aunts and nephews knew what it meant.

······························································································ ･･･

Colonel Miller is over 60 years old, with a very ordinary appearance, a soft complexion, a mustache on his lips, and the sides are slightly upturned.

He is from the Kingdom of Hungary, but he is not a nobleman. He earned his own title, and he is not high. He is just a viscount.

Lieutenant Colonel Fisher is not too young. Looking at his hair and beard, he should be similar to Miller, but his face is ruddy, which makes him much younger.

Fisher is a small nobleman, a viscount, who was awarded military merit in the generation of his great-grandfather.

Lieutenant Colonel Webb is relatively young, with a bare face and no beard. He looks like he is in his early 30s. In fact, he is similar to Schmidt, who has not arrived this time. He is almost 40.

Webb is also a noble, from the Bohemia region, but a title awarded by Austria.

The following majors are indeed in their early 30s. Except for one commoner, the others were all minor nobles.

Carl looked at these and could make a guess.

Miller should have been a viscount who earned a military award in the Napoleonic Wars, but now that his singing and dancing have risen, he has no chance to improve, and he has no plans for this, so people are softened.

Fisher's level should not be very good, otherwise, he has participated in the Napoleonic Wars, and he has the background of a viscount, so why is the military rank not as good as Miller, who came out in white.

Webb didn't have too many opportunities, but Schmidt was the same age as him, and he had a chance to earn a title, which also showed that Schmidt's level should be higher. Of course, it does not rule out that Webb has no pressure. Mitt came from a small civilian and wanted to stand out. He did pay more attention to military merit, and worked hard or drilled more.

Those majors, except for Hoffman, who came from a civilian background, must have worked hard, otherwise they couldn't be majors in their early 30s. You must know that this is the Chengping period.

The other aristocratic majors should also be mediocre, at least they haven't shown their ability beyond the bland.

For dinner, there is a princess from the royal family, so it's hard to let it go too far. It can only be nonsense like admiring the leader, expecting the leader to be healthy, and continuing to lead us forward.

Even Hoffman, who was a commoner, and Colonel Miller, who became a viscount in white, are like this. Although they dare not say how superior their emotional intelligence is when they get to this position, at least they will not be disconnected. The basic social skills are skilled and decent. .

It may be the nobles who are really socially indecent. It's not because they don't understand, but because they don't do it. But that's only because of the old hat.

Now these three are all princes and princesses. In the case of the current emperor, they are the uncle, sister and prince (although they are the emperor's nephew, but the emperor has no heir, and the emperor's nephew is equal to the prince), what do they dislike? Nor will it appear inappropriate.

Therefore, several majors from aristocratic backgrounds also behaved quite well. Although not brilliant, there is no omission. This is also the confidence of the nobles, in other words, it is also a manifestation of the no pressure of the nobles.

After eating and returning to the residence, the old guy went to chat with his niece and grand-nephew.

"Uncle Carl, Colonel Miller and Lieutenant Colonel Fisher, aren't they a few years younger than you?"

Quick-mouthed girl Maria started.

"Fisher was born in 1779, he is nothing special, everything is in order."

"Miller was also from 1779. He was originally a teacher. Later, we were defeated by Napoleon again and again, and there were not enough soldiers, so we captured his strong men.

"But after all, I have read books. I have two brushes. I quickly stood out and was promoted. Later, we signed a peace treaty with Napoleon. He had no power or power, so he retired from the army, got married and had children.

"How could he know that after two years, the fight broke out again, and he had to leave his wife, two sons, and the baby in his wife's belly to fight again.

"This time he was very lucky. He joined my team and just defeated a few waves of Napoleon's servant army. His military rank rose higher and higher, and he became a major. Although the war with France was peaceful, he did not return to the army."

Old Carl should have admired Miller very much. Fisher just mentioned it in one sentence, and Miller has introduced it for a long time.

"Uncle Carl, Miller is your confidant, but he is also old. Although his position is important, since he is not a general, he will retire in a few years."

Little Carl was in a hurry and asked a question.

"Don't worry, little Carl. Miller showed his prowess and registered with me."

Grass, isn't this the famous "Jane in the Emperor's Heart" in the legend?

"I transferred him back when I was doing military reform to help me with top-level design. Apart from fighting wars, I did a good job in this area. But I didn't go to the front line to fight, which delayed the upgrade of military rank.

"In 1809, Metternich took our army, which had not been reformed in place, to fight with Napoleon. As a result, the semi-finished products that I had painstakingly forged were directly scrapped. Unfortunately, Miller was in it, and the battle was huge. Lost and lost, his people also retreated."

Metternich, what qualifications does he have to drag your army to fight? Did Kaiser Franz take your soldiers away?

It's not good for you to scold him in front of us, Franz's grandson may not care about his cheap grandfather being scolded, his daughter Maria Anna may care, you can only pull Metternich over and use it as a meat pad A few punches.

Poor Uncle Carl, you are so embarrassed.

"This time, he almost didn't keep his major title. Fortunately, I beat Napoleon violently again. With a little face and an intercession with Miller, he took the blame.

"Miller is also very good, and he gave me a big face as the leader. Soon he organized several battles, and all of them completed their tasks with great success, and even got promoted to lieutenant colonel.

"Until the end of this war. I transferred Miller back to the center and continued the military reform. This time, the military reform was continued from scratch. The family property accumulated before was completely defeated by Metternich and the royal brother."

Hey, Uncle, you finally couldn't help it, so you started scolding.

"Uncle Carl, if you want to scold your royal brother, feel free to scold him. His ability to lead troops to fight is commonplace, and everyone knows it.

It is said that at most he is a major general, but he always thinks of doing the job of being a general of the military and horses of the world. "

Maria opened her mouth to instigate her, and by the way, she hacked her father. As a result, it was difficult for the old God of War to speak, so she had to smile at her niece.

"Miller also understands me and continues to do the military reform with me. I know that bringing him back to the center will delay his military rank, but he won't be promoted if he doesn't fight, so I have to give him credit for the military reform. , to help him with his entire baronial title.

"Afterwards, I fought with Napoleon a few times. I didn't go out. I just arranged for a few of my favorite subordinates to fight. Miller's overall performance was good. In 1814, he was promoted again and became a colonel.

"The last time Napoleon escaped from the island, everyone was very scared. He encircled and suppressed again, and Miller made another contribution. This time, he could be promoted to brigadier general, but he found me and asked if he could help him increase his title. strive."

This is a smart man. At that time, the nobles were satisfied with the title, and they expected more practical benefits such as military rank and position. He did the opposite and asked for a title upgrade.

"At that time, except for the military reform. I had no desires and no desires, so my words were even better than when I won a war. Soon his viscount was approved."

The old guy changed the case to scold his imperial brother for being too small.

"Actually, his credit can't actually be given to the Viscount. It's equivalent to the credit after the overdraft. That's why I sacrificed my face to do this."

This is to rely on the royal relatives and the high power to benefit his subordinates, and his subordinates will not thank the country for promotion, but thank you.

"Of course, I also told him, don't prepare to be promoted to brigadier general, do it well, the normal credit for ten or twenty years is to fill the credit gap of this viscount."

"Miller is good, although he knows that he has made up for the previous arrears for more than ten or twenty years and cannot be upgraded, he still works very seriously, so I think he is also a German, serious, responsible and reliable. "

The old guy definitely goes to his own basket when he sees something good.

"I can't tell at all, this grinning old guy who looks like a pollution-free caterpillar is so scheming."

Princess Maria said with emotion.
