Austria 1840

"Uncle, you must have something else to say. As far as Miller's situation is concerned, it's not worth talking about with your smart niece and nephew."

Little Carl asked suspiciously.

"It's true, little Carl is getting better and better."

"Presburg, the gateway to Vienna, why did you arrange for him to preside over the defense here?

"Miller has worked in the military reform center and knows its importance. Other places with the same status are generally presided over by a major general, or at least a brigadier general.

"But Miller's ability to fight is definitely not inferior to that of general major generals, and his experience in the military reform center can reassure me even more."

I remember that Aunt Maria said that the grandfather was at the level of a major general at best, that is, no more than the level of Colonel Miller. After all, Miller is the title of Colonel with the ability of Major General. Little Carl was not without mischievous thoughts.

"However, these are still not worth talking about here. Do you think that Miller's soft face is because he has reached the top and has no chance to upgrade, so he is calm and soft?"

In other words, if your imperial brother is not an emperor, it is not worth talking about. It seems that the level of Emperor Franz is really inferior. Little Carl ridiculed his cheap grandfather again in his heart.

"...No, it is Miller's complete life that makes him so soft, and his completeness is far more than his own.

"Miller is a good godson. He has four sons and two daughters..."

Not bad, old Carl doesn't seem to have so many children. Miller was in the army all day, and he was able to win the bid once he went home, which shows that their family is full of vitality. Little Carl interjected again in his mind.

"...Miller's eldest son, who was given to him as his heir by one of his compatriots. The compatriots' family is not bad. He was born as a big farmer, similar to Schmidt, but he does not have a title. Miller's eldest son is also in the army, like Schmidt, he has earned himself a baron, and he's been promoted to major for a few years, and the next wave of lieutenant colonels should have him. Now in Vero, northern Italy Na stationed.

"Miller's second son, also in the army, has been promoted to major and is now stationed in Krakow, Galicia.

"Miller's third son is still in the army, but he is studying in my military academy at this time. Before entering the military academy, he was already a captain. If nothing else, he will be promoted to major soon after graduation."

"So powerful, wouldn't the fourth child also be a lieutenant?"

Maria was startled again.

"Miller's fourth son is not in the army. He studied at the University of Vienna and is currently teaching at the University of Vienna."

The old war **** looked at Maria and continued.

"His two daughters are both studying at Charles University in Prague. The eldest is a teacher at Charles University, and the second is a teacher at Munich University."

"I'm pretty good too. I graduated from the University of Vienna."

Aunt Maria spoke up. It's a pity that the **** of war ignored her and continued his topic about Miller.

Little Carl complained about his aunt, who also graduated from a famous university. Everyone is teaching in the university. You are unemployed at home, or you are old, and it is ugly to call you a fool and wait to die. Is there any comparison?

"I'm going to promote him to a brigadier general this year. Then in two years, let him retire as an honorary major general. Now they are a fourth lieutenant, which is worthy of attention."

Isn't this still for the benefit of one's own people? I value not only Miller, but also his four sons and two daughters, but they are indeed worthy of preferential treatment and win over. The door of our Lao Ha is always open to outstanding talents.

Following the Galician uprising, if the second son of the Miller family could be promoted to lieutenant colonel before 1846, it is very likely that he would be promoted to colonel quickly by suppressing the uprising.

After two more years, that is, 1848, there were revolutions and turmoil in various places. He had experience in suppressing uprisings, and he would soon be promoted to brigadier general. Then there would be many wars to come, and opportunities for promotion and fortune were everywhere.

Carl, who knows the historical process, sees the power of the Miller family more and more.

Of course, it's not only the route that Miller arranged for the children, but more importantly, the children are self-sufficient, and they are all outstanding talents on their respective routes.

Not only are there four captains, in fact, they are four generals, and there is even a grand marshal among them. This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

In the evening, Colonel Miller came to visit his old leader, who was also his thickest thigh in court, Archduke Karl. Maria and little Carl served as waiters, serving tea and pouring water.

Miller didn't wear a gray-blue military uniform like he did during dinner.

This time, I changed into civilian clothes, and the people looked more rounded, but the shape of the soldiers was no different from when they were wearing military uniforms. They were tall, straight and tough.

"Marshal, you are in good health, which is a blessing for Austria."

"Miller, just say a few polite words, haha. Today, I see that you have implemented the military reform requirements in place. I am quite satisfied. You must know that you are an important barrier to protect Vienna."

Archduke Karl was obviously very happy.

"Marshal, thank you. This is what I should do. I came out of the military reform department and have a good understanding of this, so the execution will be better."

"Okay, Miller, these are the things we talked about during the inspection. Let's put it aside for a while, and we'll talk about it during the official inspection or report. Let's talk about personal affairs and family affairs."

Only the leader has the right to violently decide the direction of the topic, while the subordinates can only use the silent induction technique.

"Miller, we'll have dinner with Lieutenant Colonel Schmidt tomorrow, plus you."

"Okay, thank you, Schmidt also told me, it seems that you have some personal things to talk about?"

Hearing this topic, Maria Anna withdrew, leaving little Carl alone to carry the tea and water.

"Yes. After Schmidt's wife died, did he go on a blind date recently?"

"I heard that someone introduced him. After all, Schmidt is not very old, and he is similar to our Kochbauch. He has been promoted to lieutenant colonel. "

"Oh, yes. Miller, this time, I also have the intention of bringing the Grand Duchess Maria Anna and Schmidt into contact. Both of them know this meaning, which means that now adding you and me, we have a total of Four people know..."

In the eyes of my uncle, am I not a person? Little Carl wailed in his heart.

When Miller heard the meaning of this sentence, he knew that the old leader would not let it go out.

"...If they can talk to each other, we can get married. First, our Maria Anna doesn't pay much attention to the nobles. Second, as you mentioned, everyone agrees with Shimi. This is what we mean by such a talented person. Who doesn't want their daughter to marry someone who is capable?

"Maria also trusts my uncle more, so I helped her find it..."

The two of them were chatting here, without mentioning the **** of war, and Miller wouldn't pay special attention to how little Carl could understand all of them. This gave little Carl an opportunity to observe military talent up close.

"...Everyone knows that to find better talents to combine, not only marriage, generals want to bring good soldiers to fight in the war, and soldiers also want to go out with good generals to fight."

Old Carl said.

In doing business, you also need to find excellent people to partner with, otherwise you will lose your life. Little Carl added another scene of finding excellent people to work with.

"European countries are saying that our Habsburg family is the lower half of the body to expand and rule. In fact, our family has grown a lot by marriage, which is why our Austrian Empire is so vast..."

Marriage is really a fast and economical way. Don't blame everyone for doing this. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan also married a bunch of the emperor's nieces to his ministers, and at the same time let his sons and nephews marry a bunch of his sisters and daughters.

"...Not only our Habsburg family, what empire in Europe didn't do this? But we used too much force. Although the territory was large, it was not stable, so when Napoleon came, we were killed. lost ground."

"Napoleon was indeed born out of nowhere and beat Europe violently. But, leader, I was lucky to have you at that time."

Miller sincerely flattered.

"The Habsburg family, like the royal families of other ancient empires in Europe, used to have to find ancient nobles to marry. But now, we want to marry excellent nobles and excellent emerging families."

The God of War nodded to the old subordinate, thanked him for his praise, and continued.

"This is also normal. Top-level nobles need fresh blood, and emerging nobles, or emerging ordinary families, also need the names of even more top-level nobles. Everyone takes what they need, and it is human nature."

Colonel Miller also agreed with the meaning of the old military god.

"As for my niece, she is different from our generation. Of course, the family needs to be taken care of, and she also likes the person herself.

"Schmidt, I don't have too much contact with him. I just heard from you that he is motivated and has a good personality, so I plan to let my niece meet with him to see if it is possible to make a couple."

Colonel Miller sighed with emotion. The old boss had to worry about not only the empire, but also his niece. Of course, the old emperor died. As an uncle, he has the obligation and the right to worry about it.

Of course, Miller also understands that, as far as he is concerned, he is also worried about military matters, and he has to plan a path for his children and push them to go further.

Although several children have performed very well, and they mainly rely on their own efforts, but without the support of the old man behind the back and guiding the children in the early stage, maybe the children can achieve the current achievements, but the time will be later. The process will be more painful.

"My own child, Teresa got married and had a child, but I had a problem; Elizabeth was worried, similar to Maria; Albrecht was fine, and in the army, his ability was far beyond average, more or less I have little influence to help, but his current status is mainly earned by himself~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The fourth oldest Ferdinand is also in the army. The military indicators are only passing every time. I think he is in the army. There's nothing special about it. Fortunately, when he treats people and things, according to his chief officer's evaluation, he is far above the average level. It's really not good. In the future, he can also be in politics. My plan is to ask him to go to college to study seriously after he leaves the army. Books, and then go to government departments to experience."

Old Carl and the old man really started chatting together.

"A few of the old leaders are actually very good. Teresa and Elizabeth, I heard that they are both from the University of Vienna, which must be different, but I have not seen them and I will not comment.

"Albrecht, came to me for an exchange visit, and I went to the headquarters to communicate with him. His military literacy is far beyond ordinary people.

"Ferdinand, he is indeed a lively man, with a quick mind and a clear mind. If you don't mind, you can let him work with me for a few years. I think it is very good to be a staff officer. You know, the Prussian staff system, I am very Respected, I really want to do a pilot test on my hilltop."

Why didn't Miller follow the leader completely and insisted on getting Ferdinand over? First, he could realize that the leader was a little bit worried about his second son's lack of success in the military; secondly, his communication with Ferdinand found that it was not that he was not good, but the old way of leading troops to fight. Third, if the youngest son of the old leader's family is here, he will have a better chance of winning if he has any resources to compete with his colleagues.

He didn't know that the old leader was going to promote him to a brigadier general this year. It's not a reciprocation model, and you take the initiative to think about the other party, then the relationship must be really unusual.

Slowly, the two of them chatted for a long time, and Miller bid farewell.
