Austria 1840

"Didn't you do a good job? In terms of comprehensive military strength, although you are a little far from me, you are still competent for this job."

Archduke Karl asked, thinking he was tired.

"Oh, don't mention it, everyone behind the back is calling him a scumbag, a major general's ability, and he wants to be a military marshal."

"What does that have to do with you? If someone scolds the emperor, you don't do it? Doesn't it make sense?"

Archduke Karl didn't understand for a while, so he asked.

"They won't leave me with too much eloquence. It is estimated that the ability of a lieutenant general has become a military marshal."

Oh, it turns out that I was afraid of being scolded. How could I not be scolded for work? Carl knew what he meant.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, your ability, they know that the people who point out don't know if they have nothing to do, I still know."

Carl comforted John, John is the second best military player in the Old Ha family after Carl.

"They're all saying that if I hadn't held back Napoleon, you could have wiped out Napoleon. Austria dominated the European continent. It was my trashy snack that made Austria lose its chance and saved Napoleon."

John guessed that he had heard something, and said a little unhappily.

"So, John, that's why I'm very reluctant to let ordinary people enter the decision-making level, and that's why I'm conservative. I really can't believe how much brains ordinary people can have."

The conservative boss has found a reason for being conservative.

"Let's not talk about civilians. Even smart people, without understanding the situation, make 99% of their judgments are wrong. Even if the big man wants you to be wrong, you will be wrong."

There seems to be some truth to it. Although John's freedom has not been shaken, he is also not so strong against conservatives.

"At that time, you beat up the famous French general Beauharne, annihilated tens of thousands of his troops, and delayed his attack. Others didn't know, how could I not know?"

It means that his brother can understand him, John is grateful.

"And Eugène de Beauharnais is not only Napoleon's adopted son, but also a French marshal-level general."

In fact, Eugène de Beauharnet is not that powerful. He should be a second-level general in France, but he is the adopted son of Napoleon. He is closer and has more opportunities to fight. So I had a few confrontations with me.

John wasn't completely stunned by his brother's fascination, and he was still a little sober.

"On the way you came for reinforcements, he also bit you and won't let go. He is more stressed than you and can't bite you. Napoleon may be finished, and France may be finished."

Oh, it was really not good to be harassed by this Boarne at that time. The loser harassed the winner, and the harassment that was lifeless was definitely a wonderful thing in the history of war.

"It's the same as the wolf chasing the rabbit. The rabbit is to escape, and the wolf is a meal. The two are different. At that time, you were the wolf, and he was the rabbit, even though it looked like he was chasing you."

John's ears shuddered, and this parable, but it's so interesting.

"And you were also very brave in the Alps. Otherwise, why would you have the nickname of the king of the Alps? I don't even have it."

Hearing this, John was finally in a good mood. After all, Karl knew more about military affairs than those who despised him.

"Brother, you are the **** of war, then let's exchange and give you the King of the Alps?"

John also laughed with his brother.

"Besides, then I will go to the Alps in the future to become king, hunt wild rabbits, and train monkeys."

John is slowly getting ready to plan his retirement life, um, life after marriage. Anyway, the royal privileges are gone, so he can only live on the mountain to reduce expenses.

"You, if you want to say failure, that is the failure of the Battle of Hornlinden, but that is Morrow, Morrow is a wolf, a fox, or a tiger, and he is much stronger than those marshals of France Ken. "

Carl continued to comfort his younger brother, and John was very happy to hear it. It was not the comforting himself, but his brother's attitude towards him that made him happy.

But he still muttered:

"No matter how powerful Morrow is, it's not that you beat him with blood all over his face. Oh, I can't compare with you. You and Napoleon are on the same level. Haha"

"In France, except for Napoleon, there is no one better than him. At most, there are one or two similar to him, which can be said to be Taopu Sirui. It's not ashamed to lose to Taopu Sirui. Don't be embarrassed."

Not only was he happy, but John felt ashamed. He just scolded his brother, but he came to comfort him.

Alas, my elder brother is my elder brother, not a stinky younger brother like me can compare.

Whether it's military or dealing with people, you will always be my brother, my own brother.

"Besides, in the battle with France, who is not a big loser, it is only our family's great career that can survive. Overall, you are considered very good."

John looked at his brother with tears in his eyes.

"Even if you weren't born in Lao Ha's family, you can easily earn a general, and you can earn a marshal if you have a chance. No chance? No chance, you and I are just ordinary people."

John knew that it was his brother who was praising him against his conscience. He really didn't have the ability to be a marshal, but the admiral was indeed stable, so he still had some confidence.

Later, the brothers still talked about Anna.

"Brother Carl, I'm not hypocritical. I have to marry Anna. Don't persuade me on this issue. For her, I would rather leave the royal family."

"Well, actually, let's get married, I'm not as good as you, and Elizabeth's mother, I don't understand, and Ludovica, I don't understand."

John knew that Brother Carl was not a bad person, playing with feelings and playing with women did not exist for him.

His relationship with Elizabeth's mother is not that deep. It is a pity that she died not long after giving birth to Elizabeth, which caused her brother to feel guilty.

As for my cousin Ludovika, the relationship is a bit awkward, but it is the truest love.

"However, according to the rules of the family, your royal privileges will be a lot less. Maybe your temperament may not care, but the annuity will also be much less."

Speaking of which, he looked at John, and continued:

"Besides Brother Franz, I am the richest in the family. I have a large pension, and I also have the territory of Duke Cheshen. I will give you some subsidies then. Don't become a destitute prince just to get married."

"Then thank you brother Carl."

"Oh, let me tell the emperor, if you add a few more jobs, you can also get a few more salaries."

It seems that the two old brothers are the same, they both give a little for the public and a little for the private. The two older brothers are still very good to me.

"John, you scolded and scolded, and I also want to tell you something heartfelt."

Damn it, it's not like Brother Franz talks about conservative freedom.

"You, in the future, you should be a little more careful with your words and deeds. Now the empire doesn't dare to say that the wind is leaking everywhere, and it doesn't dare to say that the wind and rain are precarious, but it is not what it was 40 years ago."

It's really like that, these two brothers, a scumbag and a military god, actually gave me the same money and the same focus.

"Of course, my brother is not qualified to ask for anything? All I can say is, think more about Lao Ha's family, and think more about Austria."

Carl was a little disappointed as he talked. John looked a little distressed.

Among the brothers, Karl and Franz are indeed the ones who worry the most about the Empire.

"John, now in the Austrian Empire, Hungary, Bohemia, and the unfamiliar northern Italy all have their own ideas. You, don't make excuses for them."

Carl still spoke to John very solemnly, for fear that the previous hints were not enough for him to understand the weight.

"I know that, Brother Carl, let's stay silent for tens of seconds before I speak in the future."

John still wanted to shake his wit. Seeing Brother Carl looking at him, he had to add:

"Brother Carl, I will pay attention to it in the future. Don't worry, I'm not a child either, and I'm also getting married. Don't worry."

"Also, why do these guys have their own ideas, which have already been formed. For example, we lost the battle and lost face, so I will not talk about these. There is also a point that has always existed, that is, the number of our main ethnic group is small."

"Then let everyone have more babies. I will have more babies too. I will have babies with Anna when I go back. Alas, we got married late, which significantly reduced the number of Austrians."

John also made fun of himself and brother Carl.

"Hungary has more people than us. You let yourself be born, why don't you let Hungary be born?"

"Brother Carl, I'll be honest, I'm not stupid, but when I get to you, I don't seem to like to use my brain. Tell me what you think, and I'll do it."

"I have an idea, sigh, forget it, I won't tell you, you are too serious, although I don't seem to get along with my eldest brother, but if I tell him this idea, he will definitely slap his thigh. Tell you that you won't approve, You might even despise me."

"Then tell me, let me be contemptuous."

"Forget it, let's wait for you to be more mature. After you get married and your child is ten or eight years old, we'll talk about this."

John left his brother angrily, and of course he left brother Carl with satisfaction.

Satisfied is that my brother didn't set up obstacles and helped him both public and private.

Anger is because my brother still has something to say to him.

Who knows, I haven't waited for more than ten years, and my brother hasn't shared this idea with him until now.

John and his two brothers agreed on this side, and then went back to Anna and told Anna and the old director about the situation.

The old director is not happy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I thought it was bronze, but later found out that it is a king, which is very cool. It's a pity that after a while, this king will become the king whose rabbit's tail can no longer grow.

Of course, if he disagrees, he is not so bold.

"Anna, what do you think?"

He left the problem to his daughter, expecting her to fight for it.

"I don't think it's a problem. When I was fascinated by his nonsense at first, I didn't know he was the Grand Duke. I thought he was just an ordinary person.

"Now, even without a few royal privileges, he and our children can't inherit the throne, which is better than ordinary people I agreed with from the beginning."

Anna is indeed a talented girl, she thinks things are more transparent.

Just like that, the lovely little girl Anna Profel got married with the donkey-faced man who was more than 20 years older than him, the man who said he had a happy life in his previous life and made an appointment to be a husband and wife in the next life.

In order to subsidize the family, John had to do a few more jobs. Of course, the specific ones were done by the people below, and he could just pick the one and get the salary.

Of course, in the army, you still have to pay Brother Carl. After all, in the military, Carl is much higher than him.

Well, a lot of good things have happened recently, and Duke John's donkey's face is full of joy.

First, the senior leftover daughter of the family, Maria Anna, got married.

The second is that this niece is married to an ordinary person. Well, yes, in John's view, a baron and a commoner are divided into seats, that is, there is no difference. That is, there are a few more people in their own positions.

Third, this niece is coming to see him, and she said something good?

It is pregnant? Then there is no need to send someone such a vague notice all the way, just say no?
