"Where's my mother," Edel asked Carous, the head of his guard. As a small nobleman, the second son had a good education and taught etiquette to his mother from an early age. At the age of 15, he went to military school, and at the age of 21, he became a company commander in the Praetorian Division. Loyal to the royal family. Favored by King Carol I, he was chosen to be the chief of the guard for Eder.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Queen has afternoon tea in the garden." Chief Calucte said solemnly. Since becoming the chief of the crown prince's bodyguard, Calust has always demanded of himself with court etiquette, and he has also done what Eder asks him to do, and he is usually silent. It's a henchman who makes Eder very satisfied.

June was the time of year when the foliage was in full bloom, and Eder went out into the garden to see Queen Elizabeth chatting happily with a group of noblewomen.

"My Edder, you're finally back, you're still so young. Your father let you visit alone. Queen Elizabeth was clearly unhappy with Eder's visit to Germany, and it was clear that General Présan and a large group of government officials were being ignored.

"Mom, I'm not back, and I'm not young, I'm an adult at 16 years old." Edel obviously rebelled against his mother's words, "My Eder, as long as I don't get married for a day, I'm my little Eder." Apparently Eder's struggle was ruthlessly suppressed by Queen Elizabeth. It seems that mothers in any era are the same. is very concerned about the marriage of his children, even if Eder is really young, it is obvious that the reason does not make sense. The ladies laughed as they listened to the conversation between Edel and the queen.

"Your Highness Eder, do you need us to help you find a few maids to sleep with?" A bold lady also laughed. "Yes, each of our families contributes a maid to the bedchamber, it is estimated that His Royal Highness Eder will be too busy" "We will find it for His Highness Eder, it must be a complete maid" "His Highness Eder can seriously consider our proposal." "There's obviously a beginning, and the lady in the back bombards Edel with all the firepower.

"Mother, let's see you later." Eder whispered to Queen Elizabeth, who was also laughing, and fled. It seems that it is so terrible for a woman in any era to gossip, even if she is an aristocrat.

In the evening, Eder's family of three had dinner, and his mother, Queen Elizabeth, looked at Eder and said with a smile on her face, "I didn't expect my Eder to be afraid of women." "You've been laughing all afternoon, Mom, and you've seen that the ladies are joking." Edel said with a rogue look on his face. "Eder, you can't do this, in the future, as a king, you can't let women suppress you." Carol I also made an observation. Obviously, as a conservative Prussian royal family, King Carroll had to correct any possible fears of Eder.

"Stay for a moment, Queen, it's time for our Eder to find a maid. I believe that if he is nourished by a woman, he will grow up. Before going to bed, Carol I said to Queen Elizabeth, still thinking of a way.

"I'll keep an eye on it, but do you have a good choice about Eder's marriage?" It seems that what the queen said in the afternoon also had a deep meaning. "The situation is very difficult to choose." The old king thought a little scoundrel and said.

"You can find a noble woman of the right age in the country. We're all so old, I wish Eder was getting married sooner. The queen asked, a little reluctantly. Those nobles in the country can't do it, and they won't help Eder much in the future. And it's better to be a royal marriage. He can wait a few years to see. The old king said slowly.

The next day, Calust, the chief of the guard, came to Eder with a telegram. "Your Highness, this is a telegram from Denmark from General Prieshan." Edel took the telegram and looked at the message above. It turned out that General Prieshan soon saw this Madsen machine gun in Denmark, for the now mainstream 30KG has been put on the Makqin heavy machine gun

, the Madsen machine gun, which is only 9KG, is an epoch-making masterpiece. Although its range and rate of fire are far inferior to that of the Makeqin, it can follow the charge of the soldiers. It is impossible not to see General Prieshan, as an experienced commander. The change in tactics after the installation of such a machine gun is also worth thinking about by the general.

However, the epoch-making masterpiece also has an epoch-making price, and the selling price of up to 45 pounds also makes General Prieshan a little big, which can buy 6 Mauser 98s, if it is installed in the platoon, its ammunition consumption makes Presan dare not make his own decision, so send a telegram to Eder and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take the idea.

Edel looked at the telegram and mentally calculated the cost of equipping the entire army. It seems that only two divisions can be equipped first, and the others can only buy patents and build them slowly. It is estimated that the ammunition problem will become more and more serious. , but there is still time to change.

"Calust sent a telegram to General Presan to buy 700 Madsen light machine guns, asking for the price of the patent, and he could decide directly if it did not exceed £60,000 in total." Edel thought for a moment and said to the chief of his guard.

A few days later General Prieshan sent the telegram back, apparently being a brilliant general, fascinated by a good weapon and seemingly unfit to be a negotiator. At just £60,000, it was clear that Denmark had pushed him to the bottom.

Is it my mistake or too little experience. Eder thought to himself, and now he had to sign this agreement in the face of General Prieshan.

Eder, who was a little depressed, saw his head of guard, Calust, coming. "Your Highness Mr. Smith has come to visit."

"Let him in." Eder thought maybe our American friend would bring some good news.

"Your Royal Highness, I have good news for you." Who says Americans are rude? Apparently just didn't work the right way.

"I don't know what good news Mr. Smith has brought." Eder asked, "The survey team from the United States has arrived, and now we need to survey the location of the oil production and the location of the refinery," Smith said his good news, apparently with an unusual speed for money standard oil.

"Okay, I'll check it out." Eder, who clearly wanted to go out for a walk, said to Smith. "Your Highness is very welcome then."

"Your Highness, I'll arrange it first." Caluster spoke to Eder after Smith left. "Go, my chief of guard." Apparently Eder still cherishes his life, and he doesn't want to, because he caused some kind of war. A lot can happen for the sake of the throne, and Eder has watched too many books and TV about it in his previous life.

In the evening, when King Carol told him about the idea of going to the oil field, the old king still agreed, except that the queen was a little worried, which was also persuaded by Eder.
