Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 89

Ask for a recommendation ticket.

Thanks!

Everyone disagreed, but the old military **** insisted, Schmidt hurriedly arranged for someone to go to the princess’ house, and called Archduke John, Mary, Elizabeth and other people to persuade him.

“Uncle Carl, don’t be too self-willed, go back to me quickly.”

Maria Anna pulled old Carl aside and gave him a stern lesson.

Maria’s stern voice was useless in the end.

Archduke John had absolutely no way to persuade him, and as soon as his brother glared, John withdrew.

Elizabeth said a few words, but it didn’t work.

When the three of them came together, they had to send little Carl on the field.

“Uncle Karl, you take me with you. I just happen to be going to Smederevo.”

Everyone lamented that Carl’s method was different. Now, for the safety of little Carl, the old Carl won’t go either.

“What, you want to go together, are you going to Smederevo?” Old Karl was stunned.

Little Carl, regardless of his shock or what other relatives think, answered directly:

“Yes, Uncle Karl, I am going there. Do you know why they attacked Smederevo?”

“Don’t tell me, you let them go. In that case, Austria will be doomed. You, a little prince who is nothing, can command the army indiscriminately?”

Old Carl shook his head, as if he believed you were a ghost.

“It’s also not true. If you say yes, what they attack is what I want them to attack. If you say no, it’s because I didn’t order them to attack Smederevo, because I induced them to attack this place.”

Carl said sternly, that feeling of having everything under control is simply disgusting.

“Tell me, how did you induce it?”

The old military **** smiled, you 13-pack, I will give you 90 points.

“Our strategy is to surround Belgrade and attack other cities, right, Uncle Carl?”

“Yes, but what does their attack on Smederevo have to do with this?”

“Now the surrounding area of ​​Belgrande has been taken down. Only the Smederevo Fortress on the lower Danube River is still in the hands of Turkey. I’m not talking about this city, but this fortress is still in the hands of Turkey.”

“Then what exactly do you mean?”

“We want to take Smederevo Castle quickly, the sooner the better.”

“Why so fast?”

“First, it and the upstream Novi Sad, Banstadt (Panchevo) across the Danube, and Shabats on the Sava River to the east, four towns strangle Belgrade and want to get it done Belgrade, Smederevo cannot be left out.”

“Secondly, I have news that there is iron ore in the Smederevo area, so a steel plant will be built in Smederevo. It will be the center of heavy industry in South Hungary, so it must be taken down as soon as possible.”

“Thirdly, we can negotiate terms with them now that peasants are uprising in various parts of Turkey.”

Karl stood up, took two steps, returned to the old war god, and said:

“We didn’t take Smederevo in such a hurry at first. We can recuperate in other places first, but after the news of the iron ore came, we must take it as soon as possible. Now that they are uprising everywhere, we will have a chance to talk.”

“But it’s too dangerous. That’s the front line. What if you had a problem in the past?”

“Old Uncle, if you can go, of course I can go too. You are the **** of war, and I am just a little boy. You are much more expensive than me.”

The grandfather and grandson, the two Carls were frozen here, so they had no choice but to not go, preparing to cross the river and return to the Princess Novi Sad.

Princess Maria gave the eldest nephew a thumbs up, and Elizabeth and old John also nodded to Carl: This kid has two brushes.

As soon as they walked out of the fortress, they came flying on their horses, and before they dismounted, they shouted: “Great victory, capture Smederevo Fortress.”

Both Carls are not leaving this time.

“Master, if you insist on going, wait until tomorrow. If you leave tomorrow, the carriage will arrive in one day. Today and tomorrow, they should also clear the remnants of the enemy, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Hearing that Colonel Schmidt also asked Carl to go tomorrow, Maria took a look at her husband there.

In fact, she knew that the two Carls were quite temperamental, and Schmidt was right. Instead of blocking them, it was better to push them for a day. It was safe and secure.

Of course, Schmidt would not fight against the princess. He had much more experience dealing with women. After all, he had lived with his wife for more than ten years before she died.

The next day, old and young Carl, Archduke John and Leopold, as well as Schmidt and three majors, rode four and two carts.

Before and after, they surrounded more than 300 riders, and together they went to Smederevo.

Originally thought it was broken walls, broken arms and limbs, blood and flesh, etc., but it turned out, beyond everyone’s expectations, that they did not speak the language of truth, but there was indeed no trace of a strong attack.

This question is again thanks to Divacwich.

how did you make it? If you want to laugh, you bought it.

It cost a total of £300.

The defense chief of the castle, a lieutenant colonel and two majors, took the money and left.

As for the soldiers in the castle, they have now been arranged to undergo reform through labor. For a month of labor, of course, a month of brainwashing.

Some qualified soldiers will be screened – young, good physical strength, flexible mind, not extreme, um, and one more point, if they are willing to be loyal to the Habsburg family and Austria, they will be added to the Novi Sad Corps.

“You boy, why do you remember doing this?”

Schmidt asked with a smile.

“Didn’t His Highness Karl ask us to communicate with the factory owner? Consider the cost-benefit ratio in everything.”

The lieutenants of Novi Sad, laughing, this is really a new idea, all the soldiers, even the second lieutenant, have to communicate regularly.

After everyone laughed for a while, Divacovic continued:

“I thought about it. If this fortress is shot down, three hundred people will not be enough to die, and there is a high possibility of 800 or 1000 disabled children. These pensions, disability allowances, and nursing funds will not necessarily come down to six or seven thousand pounds. enough.”

Everyone sighed for a while, listening to this algorithm, it is indeed a huge cost.

“The key point is that there may not be anything that can be grabbed in the fortress. Because they already knew that we were going to fight over, except for food and drink, there was basically no extra money. Oh, yes, if it is knocked down, the fortress needs to be rebuilt, which is another sum of money. money······”

Everyone looked up. This is a city wall with a thickness of five meters. If it were shot down, how many shells would be needed, and how many barrels would be destroyed? How many soldiers were killed and how many were maimed?

“…I thought, let’s just pay and allow a few of them to take away the extravagant money. If the rest can be used, we can save money for construction. If we have this money, we can add meals to the soldiers. It would be good to invite more teachers for the soldiers.”

Everyone was stunned for a while, this operation is simply too irritating.

“I came in and saw that the food alone is worth two or three hundred pounds, plus guns and ammunition, as well as artillery shells and forts. I dare not say that I have made a fortune. To say the least, the benefit-to-cost ratio is quite high.”

It’s amazing, I love Ottoman, I love Turkey.

“Those three school officials, do you want us to cooperate?”

Schmidt asked, he is also a very smart person, he takes one step and sees three steps.

“Yes, Colonel, what the three of them mean is, let’s not stab this matter out.”

Divacovic answered immediately.

“Then don’t stab it out, keep paying attention to the situation of these three, and maybe there will be cooperation in the future.”

Colonel Schmidt exhorted. Then he said:

“But we can’t relax. After all, this situation is special, and most of them are still shot down. We should make more efforts in the death rate and disability rate of soldiers to bring them down and use technical means to bring them down. Instead of letting soldiers down Depends on the lucky event of this kind of invincibility.”

“Okay, Colonel. We will take care that the soldiers don’t become dependent. Usually, the training will be stricter, and this will be emphasized during lectures.”

The overall fortress group occupies a large area. Visually, it is a triangle of 300, 400, and 500 meters. Later, the longest side is only 480 meters.

The castle in the center, which was paid for by 300 pounds of road money, has a wall thickness of 5 meters. It is a rectangle with a length of 80 meters and a width of 50 meters, with semicircles with a radius of 50 meters at both ends.

It is said that at the beginning, it was to deal with vampires, and people in the whole town could hide in the fortress group, but only the royal family could hide in the central castle.

Among them, 400 years ago, several princesses lived in it.

Alas, didn’t you say that vampires belonged to Transylvania?

Do you still remember, dear book friends, Prince Karl’s uncle, Joseph II, a pan-German nationalist, he was a little expert on immigration, and he immigrated to Transylvania into a German territory.

The German population in Transylvania accounts for as high as 35%, and the German proportion in the entire Austrian Empire is only 21% at this time, which is 67% higher than the total proportion of the country’s main population.

“Schmidt, this is our Second Corps, you run from both ends, here is a deputy to handle daily and certain special events when you are away.”

“Good commander, I’ll make arrangements later. What about the preparation?”

“The organization remains the same, but strengthen the regiment. You are still the head of the colonel. In addition, these majors, which were introduced yesterday, have all been promoted to lieutenant colonel, and this Divacvich has been promoted to captain.”

“Commander~www.mtlnovel.com~ He was promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant just last year. Will it be soon?”

“Of course it’s coming soon, Schmidt, but time waits for no one. He is a talent and will be in charge of himself in the future. Now you can polish it up, and it will be arranged elsewhere in a few years.”

“Besides, after a few of them mentioned Lieutenant Colonel, don’t arrange to be Smederevo as your deputy. The deputy here can be Richter, who has just been promoted to major. Do you understand what I mean?”

“I understand, Commander.”

What a smart man, what old Karl meant, not only because Richter was the son of his old subordinate, but also because if the lieutenant colonel came over to be a temporary assistant, he might become the official Smederevo in charge. people.

It is easier to control if the title is misplaced.

Boss Xi is skilled at this trick. The name is “Hulu Brothers”. It seems that the 7 babies on a vine are all protagonists. In fact, only the eldest brother Hongwa himself is the protagonist, and the other 6 little gourds are supporting roles.

Of course, Emperor Xi was not the first to create it. He learned from Emperor Yongzheng. He replaced the prime minister with the Military Aircraft Department. Emperor Yongzheng learned from Emperor Hongwu, and he replaced the prime minister with the secretariat.

“Cough, cough, um…, Commander, Colonel Schmidt, can I interject?”

Carl followed these two and walked to a place with few people before he wanted to interrupt.

“Carl, tell me if you have any ideas.”

“Commander, first, if we built the railway with our own money and sold it to the Empire in a few years, that’s fine too.”

“Yes, the country is still happy. Isn’t that the equivalent of buying government bonds? Are you planning to build a railway to come here?”

“Yes, Commander, the railway between us and Archduke John can be completed and opened to traffic by the end of this year, and then we plan to build the railway ourselves and build Novi Sad into a railway hub.”
