Participated in the "historical event" of the Qing Dynasty's order of ironclad ships and proposed that Xiaojian yì improve the performance of the two ships in Dingzhen (although the improvement was limited), and made the Volkeng shipyard more profitable (still not much), and may affect the course of the Sino-French war in the future. Jochen said that as a little butterfly, he has been working hard to flap his wings, but he doesn't know what kind of storm it will turn into. With a little nervousness and more excitement, His Royal Highness the Prince stepped into 1881.

Unfortunately, this excitement did not last long before it was replaced by helplessness. His eldest brother Wilhelm graduated from the University of Bonn, and his second brother Heinrich returned home from a trip around the world. The fact that two older, old-fashioned, stern older brothers, who had a bad relationship with their mother, came home and had to listen to their elder brother for a long time in the future, apparently made the little one express Alexander. And in the past two years, he has been too good at tossing, His Royal Highness Prince Joachim has an unparalleled talent in the military field, and even the Admiralty has to accept the opinion of His Royal Highness the Prince, this kind of rumor that can usually make the little guy's heart feel refreshed, is now like a man's back, the eldest grandson of the emperor and the second prince who is a naval officer (although it is honored) are not as famous as this 13-year-old brother in the upper echelons of the empire, and in his previous life he was taken away by the messy "Nine Dragons" The little guy knows what it feels like to shoot the first bird. In desperation, I had to go back to my life as a bookworm and pretend to be low-key, not only to continue to pretend to be obedient in front of my mother, but also to perform the harmonious atmosphere of brothers, friends and brothers, which is a nightmare.

But what makes the little guy strange is that on February 27, 1881, William was supposed to marry Augusta Victoria, the daughter of Duke Friedrich Augustenberg, and now His Royal Highness the eldest grandson said that he had just graduated from college and hoped to work first, and then he was talking about marriage after he came down. Stimulated by yourself? If you want to deepen your impression in the minds of the bigwigs, you won't be so urgent, right? You're the future Kaiser, right? Could this be a big storm fanned out by my little butterfly? Of course, Yochen just thought about it, but he never dared to really ask it.

However, just as the little guy was trying to lower his sense of self-esteem, Paul Mauser's new gun design was completed and appeared in front of the Imperial War Department. The new gun still uses 11×60R black. The gunpowder metal cartridge case has a round-nosed bullet with a bottom edge, and the barrel length has been shortened from 852 mm in the Gew.71 infantry model to 801 mm, and it is fed by a single row of magazines similar to Mosinagan with a capacity of 5 rounds, but due to the large size of the 11×60R bullets, the downward extension of the magazine looks very large. With a five-round bridge clip loading, Paul Mauser still fitted the new gun with a boring magazine divider. The new gun has greatly increased the rate of fire while maintaining the performance of the Gew.71, and although the 5-round magazine is not as large as the 10-round barrel capacity, the in-line magazine bridge clamp reloading design allows the shooter to no longer have a headache for reloading ammunition.

On June 1, 1881, the Reich War Office inspected the new rifle, and at the range, the new rifle showed ferocious firepower in a matter of minutes. 20 rounds were fired, which shocked all the army officers present, and in the following tests, the new rifle not only retained the accuracy of the Gew.71, but also the design of the new magazine was very reliable, and later heard about this evaluation Jochen laughed in his heart, isn't it right, Mosinagan is of course reliable, the old Maozi's things have always been simple and rough and durable.

Immediately after the acceptance, the excellent new rifle was adopted by the War Department and designated the Gew.81 rifle (Note 2), and it was decided to start mass procurement and gradually reequip it. And Prince Joachim, who proposed a new magazine concept and loading method, was targeted by the War Department bigwigs this time. This makes all the efforts of the little guy who has been immersed in being an otaku all this time in vain. And the little guy who was praised by his father in front of his two older brothers could only stiffly pull the corners of his mouth and smile.

However, when he thought that he had been really on his back recently, he had to continue to pretend to be an ostrich, learn to be low-key, save character, and pretend to be cute to reduce his sense of existence, when an unexpected incident completely hit him blind.

August 6, 1881

It was another sunny morning, and Joechen was sitting in his study to read a book, and it should have been another day that should have been spent as quietly as ever. However, Jochen was distracted by a loud and chaotic noise outside the door. Jumping out of his chair and pushing open the door, he saw the always calm and polite palace attendants running back and forth in a panic that he had never seen before, and Yochen was confused, what was wrong? Could it be that the French have hit Berlin? grabbed a panicked court maid casually, raised his face and reprimanded: "What are you doing in a panic? What's going on? ”

The waitress, who seemed to be in shock, immediately saluted and stammered in response: "Ten ...... I'm very sorry, Your Highness, but ...... His Royal Highness William and ...... and His Highness Heinrich...... Go out...... Something went wrong. ”

Who? …… William and Heinrich? Something went wrong? ……………… Something happened! Jochen, who was shocked by this shocking news, came back to his senses for a long time, and his first reaction was - you meow me?! What happened to His Majesty the future Emperor Wilhelm II and His Royal Highness Prince Heinrich? What could happen? Was it bitten by a mosquito or scratched by a feral cat?

"The two Highnesses went to the royal hunting ground in Tiergarten today to relax, and I heard that ...... I heard that because the horse was frightened, he threw the two highnesses down. Seeing that His Royal Highness Prince Joachim was not good, the panicked maid immediately said everything she knew, "Your Highness, now Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess wants to ...... To rush to the Royal General Hospital in Berlin immediately, I will leave first. ”

Joheng, who was completely stunned, subconsciously let go of his hand, and the maid who was released immediately saluted and fled in a panic. And at this time, Yochen had only one thought in his head: this can't be! That's impossible!! That's impossible!!!

Jochen stood there for a moment before he came to his senses, realized that he had to be by his mother's side at this time, and ran out in the same panic. On the way to the Royal General Hospital in Berlin, although Crown Princess Victoria could still maintain her composure, her clenched hands revealed the panic in her heart. Along the way, there was a deathly silence in the carriage, and Joheng, who was accompanying his mother, didn't even dare to breathe too heavily in this atmosphere, so he could only gently hold the back of his mother's hand and convey that trace of pitiful comfort.

However, as soon as he entered the hallway after arriving at the hospital, Jochen heard his father's voice, which was usually mild-mannered and full of anger: "Bastard! I want my two sons intact! You quacks! You must have not done your best to heal! Listen to me! If my son can't come back to me! I'll send you to hell! ”

At this time, Crown Princess Victoria, who could no longer maintain her composure, stumbled in, and Jochen also followed closely behind her father, and then, seeing the angry Crown Prince Frederick was pulling a doctor by the collar and carrying the other party in front of him and glaring at him, seeing the appearance of his wife and young son, Prince Frederick, who finally calmed down a little, pushed the doctor away. Then he looked at his wife, her lips trembling, but she couldn't speak.

Crown Princess Victoria trembled her body, pursed her lips, and stared at her husband with a look of determination waiting for the verdict but with a desire to hear the good news, and the two looked at each other wordlessly for a while, and finally Crown Prince Frederick lowered his gaze as if he had given up, sighed silently, and then shook his head slowly. And now the crown princess collapsed as if she had lost all the strength of her body, and Jochen immediately held her mother, and seeing that his wife suddenly collapsed, Crown Prince Frederick, who was already nervous, rushed over like crazy, and finally Crown Princess Victoria did not fall to the ground, and was helped to sit down on a seat in the corridor, as if she had only understood what her husband meant, and finally cried: "God, why is that? My two sons, my William, my Henry (Heinrich's nickname), why did God treat them like this?! God took Franz (Note 1) and now William and Henry! Then there was a long whimper, then a suffocating silence.

In the end, it was Crown Prince Frederick who spoke first: "My dear, Jochen is still here, and we have Charlotte, Victoria, Sophie, and Margaret. The kids need you. Then he said to Yoheng, who was standing beside his mother with his head bowed, "Yoheng, Dad has to deal with the next things, accompany your mother to go back first, and now your mother needs you, accompany her, take care of her, okay?" ”

Jochen didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"Good boy, my good boy." Crown Prince Frederick murmured.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to see the children, I'm going to see them!" The crown princess, who came to her senses, shouted.

"Honey, will let you see them, but not now, at least not now, the children have to tidy up their appearance, tidy up, you're seeing them, okay, dear......"

Two days later, the funerals of the two princes took place in Berlin. At the funeral, Crown Princess Victoria was crying and almost fainted, the elderly Kaiser Wilhelm I was pale, Crown Prince Frederick was full of sorrow, and the young Prince Joachim was silent with his mother. The next day, Kaiser Wilhelm I declared Prince Joachim second in line to the throne.

In August, the Second German Reich lost two young princes, one of whom was their imperial grandson. In August, the entire royal family was immersed in grief, in August, the top of the empire was in shock and contemplating the future of the empire, and in August, Jochen was confronted with a completely different history. Becoming the second in line to the throne and the future emperor of the empire is not an honor, for Jochen, it means war, defeat, abdication, and the country of his current parents will sink completely. and then into hell in another, even greater catastrophe. And will he be like Wilhelm II in history, nailed to the pillar of shame of the initiators of the war by the history written by the victors? These known unknowns terrify Jochen.

When the flapping wings of a butterfly really cause a storm, as a person who directly faces the storm, he can only tremble under this force.
