Romanian Eagle

Chapter 4 - Housework



   “Where is my mother” Edel asked his captain of the bodyguard Carust. As the second son of a little nobleman, he has a good education and taught etiquette in his mother since childhood. At the age of 15 he went to a military school and at the age of 21 he served as a company commander in the guard division. Loyal to the royal family. In the favor of King Carol I, he was chosen as Edel as the head of the guard.

   “His Royal Highness, the Queen is drinking afternoon tea in the garden.” The Carrust Guard said seriously. Since becoming the crown prince’s chief guard, Carust has always used court etiquette to demand himself, and he has meticulously completed what Edel asked to do, and is usually silent. He was a confidant who made Edel very satisfied.

   June is the season of lush foliage and blooming flowers. Edel walked to the garden and watched Queen Elizabeth chatting happily with a group of ladies.

“My Edel, you finally came back. You are still so young. Your father asked you to visit alone.” Queen Elizabeth was obviously dissatisfied with Edel’s visit to Germany. It was obvious that General Pretzel and a large group of government officials were Ignore it.

“Mom, didn’t I come back, and I’m not too young. I’m an adult at the age of 16.” Edel obviously resisted his mother’s words, “My Edel, as long as I haven’t gotten married for a day, I’m my little Edel. .” Apparently Edel’s resistance was ruthlessly suppressed by Queen Elizabeth. It seems that mothers in any age are the same. I am very concerned about the marriage of my children, even if Edel is really young, obviously it doesn’t make sense. The ladies laughed obsessively as they listened to the conversation between Edel and the queen.

   “His Royal Highness, do you need us to find some maids for you to sleep in.” A courageous lady also teased. “Yes, each of our families contributes a maidservant. It is estimated that His Royal Highness Edel will be too busy.” “We will find His Royal Highness Edel, it must be the complete maid” “His Royal Highness Edel can seriously consider our proposal. “There was obviously a beginning, and the lady behind bombed Edel with full firepower.

   “Mother, let’s wait for the meeting.” Edel whispered to Queen Elizabeth who was also laughing, and fled after speaking. It seems that a woman of any age is so terrible to gossip, even if she is a nobleman.

In the evening, Edel’s family of three ate dinner. The mother, Queen Elizabeth, looked at Edel and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect my Edel to be afraid of women.” “Mom, you laughed all afternoon, and you too Seeing those noble ladies is just joking.” Edel said with a rascal look. “Edel, you can’t do this. In the future, as a king, you cannot be suppressed by women.” Carol I also made comments. Obviously, as a conservative Prussian royal family, King Carol must correct any possible fears of Edel.

“Queen you stay, it’s time to find the bedmaid for our Edel. I believe he will grow up if he enters the moisturizer.” Before going to bed, Carol I was still thinking of a way and said to Queen Elizabeth .

   “I will pay attention, but do you have a good choice for Edel’s marriage?” It seems that the queen’s words in the afternoon also have profound meaning. “The current situation is very difficult to choose.” The old king thought a little rascal and said.

   “You can find aristocratic women of the right age in China. We are all so old. I really hope that Edel will get married soon.” The queen asked a little bit unwillingly. “The nobles in the country can’t do it. They don’t have much help for Edel’s future reign. And it’s better to be a royal marriage. He can wait a few years to see it.” The old king said slowly.

   The next day the chief guard Carust took a telegram and came to Edel. “His Royal Highness, this is a telegram sent from Denmark by General Preeshan.” Edel took the telegram and looked at the message on it. It turned out that General Preeshan soon saw this Madsen machine gun in Denmark. For the current mainstream 30KG machine gun, the Ma Keqin heavy machine gun has been installed.

  , the Madsen machine gun of only 9KG is an epoch-making masterpiece. Although its range and rate of fire are far less than Ma Keqin, it can charge with soldiers. As an experienced commander, General Preeshan cannot fail to see it. The tactical changes after the installation of this machine gun are also worthy of the general’s thinking.

However, the epoch-making masterpieces also have epoch-making prices. The selling price of up to 45 pounds also makes General Preeshan a bit big. You can buy 6 Mauser 98s. If it is installed in the row, its ammunition consumption will make Preeshan not. Dare to make the decision on his own, so I sent a telegram to Edel and let His Royal Highness decide.

   Edel looked at the telegram and calculated the cost of equipping the entire army in his heart. It seems that only two divisions can be equipped first, and the others can only be built slowly by buying patents. It is estimated that the ammunition problem will become more and more serious. , But there is still time to change.

“Carust sent a telegram to General Pretzel to buy 700 Madsen light machine guns and asked about the price of the patent. UU reading www.uukanshu.com in total does not exceed 60,000 pounds and he can decide directly.” Edel thought for a while. Said to his head guard.

   A few days later, General Preeshan sent the telegram back. Obviously, as an excellent general, he was fascinated by a good weapon, and he seemed unsuitable to be a negotiator. Exactly 60,000 pounds obviously Denmark has pushed him to the bottom line.

   Is this my mistake or too little experience. Edel thought to himself that now the agreement facing General Pretzel can only be signed.

   Edel, who was feeling a little depressed, saw his head of guard Carust coming over. “His Royal Highness Mr. Smith came to visit.”

  ””Let him come in. “Edel thought that maybe our American friend would bring some good news back.

   “His Royal Highness, I bring you good news.” Who says Americans are rude? Obviously it just didn’t work the right way.

“I don’t know what good news Mr. Smith has brought.” Edel asked. “The survey team from the United States has arrived. Now we need to survey the location of oil production and the location of the oil refinery.” Smith said his good news, obviously on the standard of money. Oil has an extraordinary speed.

   “Well, I’ll go take a look too.” Edel, who obviously wanted to go out and relax, said to Smith. “At that time, your Royal Highness is very welcome to visit.”

   “His Royal Highness, I will arrange it first.” Carust said to Edel after Smith had left. “Go, my captain of the bodyguard.” Obviously Edel still cherishes his life, but he doesn’t want to, because he has caused some war. Many things can happen for the throne, and Edel has read too many books and TVs in this area in his previous life.

   Speaking of King Carol’s idea of ​​going to the oil field in the evening, the old king still approves of it, except that the queen is a little worried, this is also persuaded by Edel.
