The next day, when the diplomatic delegation began to exchange with the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jochen toured Vienna with a guide arranged by the Austro-Hungarian royal family. Instead of walking around in a horse-drawn carriage, Jochen chose to visit on foot, as Vienna's main attractions are concentrated, and because of the city's environment, there is a unique way to walk through the streets.

Karlshake, State Opera, Hofburg Palace, Musikverein, Castle Park, elegant architecture and lush greenery complement each other. The main entrance of the magnificent Stefan Church is Romanesque, the minaret is Gothic, and the altar is Baroque. The 137-meter-high South Tower, the third largest in the world after Cologne Church and Ulm Church, is also the most striking landmark in Vienna.

And along the way, there can be beautiful melodies from time to time, streets, parks, squares; violin, cello, French horn; "Destiny", "The Marriage of Figaro", "Swan Song"; Different places, different instruments, different players perform different pieces, but the same thing is that the melodies are so moving. The music that fills the streets is a testament to Vienna's long musical history and musical atmosphere, making it a city of music.

Not only that, but as a multi-ethnic fusion country, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's cuisine is also full of the flavor of various ethnic groups, such as bohemian meatballs, Hungarian zander and Milanese-style steaks. Austrian flavors, you say? Everyone is German, and you are talking about German flavor, and Jochen said that he eats it every day in Germany. Walk through the streets of Vienna, admire the elegant architecture, listen to the beautiful music, taste the exquisite food, and enjoy the dessert with afternoon tea and coffee. After dinner, go and soak up the atmosphere of the concert. Jochen has not been so leisurely and enjoying a slow-paced life, and I have to admit that it does make people feel very comfortable and comfortable.

On the third day, Jochen got up early in the morning, because he was invited to accompany Franz on a hunting trip. However, Jochen did not choose to wear a beautiful hunting suit, but chose to wear a combat uniform produced by HK, and then put on a photographer's vest on the outside, combat boots on his feet, and a Penny hat on his head, and Jochen's entourage was also dressed in this way. Armed with the latest Gew.86 rifles and mounted on Hanoverian horses in the Austro-Hungarian stables, the whole team looked less like hunting and more like a cavalry team heading to battle.

Ferdinand, who came to pick up Jochen's companions, was a little stunned when he saw Jochen's strange costumes, and the gorgeously dressed Austro-Hungarian nobles and gentlemen also felt very interesting about the strange costumes of the Germans.

Franz looked Jochen up and down, and then asked in a very strange tone, "Why do you wear something like that?" ”

In the past, the military uniform culture was very popular, of course, it is not accepted by gentlemen now, but Jochen is very indifferent: "This is a military uniform, the official combat uniform of the German Army troops in Africa, since it is a hunting trip, I think it is better to wear it more loosely." And this vest, it's very convenient to hold things. ”

"Haha, I see, yes, it doesn't look gorgeous, but it's very spiritual." Franz could also speak, which immediately set the atmosphere up, and the Austro-Hungarian nobles who came to their senses also praised His Royal Highness's clothes as distinctive and spiritual. Jochen didn't care, so he didn't think anything about this little thing, and Jochen, who insisted on the supremacy of pragmatism, thought to himself, you will know how useful this dress is when you really fight.

After a while, Princess Mary and her best friends also arrived, wearing red hunting suits and riding horses, a kind of men's beauty temperament is very dazzling. After seeing Jochen's outfit, he also thought it was very interesting, and praised it with a smile: "Your Highness's outfit is very distinctive." ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Jochen grinned and said he was listening.

After a short exchange of greetings, the group set off for the hunting grounds on the outskirts of Vienna. Vienna is located in a basin at the northern foot of the Alps, surrounded by forests, and as soon as you leave the city, you are surrounded by beautiful scenery: on the sunny slopes, the forests are green; On the slope of the mountain with the sun back, Sen Senran looked like an ambush of armored and helmeted soldiers. Between the forests are large patches of grass full of flowers, and it is difficult to see the color of the soil. The Vienna Forest on the outskirts of Vienna city, the highest terrain is only 400 meters above sea level, there are few conifers, mostly broad-leaved forests, dozens of trees such as elm locust eucalyptus and so on, intermingling, every spring solstice, the trees bloom, the birds cry, all kinds of wild small animals rush in the meantime.

Arriving at the royal hunting grounds, the group rested and sorted out their equipment, while the Austro-Hungarian nobles became interested in the weapons Jochen carried.

The beautiful appearance of the Gew.86 attracted the attention of many people, and most of the Austro-Hungarian nobles used old Vaundel rifles, and some were the latest Manlisa M1886 rifles.

"Jochen, the bullet in your rifle is smokeless powder?" Franz also knew a lot about firearms, so he got to the point.

"Yes, the new rifle developed by Mr. Mauser and my company HK, the Mauser 1886, has now begun to be officially equipped with the German Army, officially designated Gew.86, using rifle cartridges without a raised bottom edge, and smokeless gunpowder is used." In order to meet the needs of the German army, the German government was prepared to have the Austro-Hungarian company Steyr produce the Gew.86 (Note 1), and it was clear that Germany did not intend to keep this technology from anyone, so Jochen did not have to hide it.

"So the technology of smokeless gunpowder, can we Austria-Hungary?" Franz was also well aware of the value of this technology and wanted to help Austria-Hungary obtain it.

"It's not up to me to say this, but with the relationship between our two countries, it shouldn't be a problem." Historically, Austria-Hungary also took out its own smokeless gunpowder rifle in the same year as the Germans - Manlisha M1888, although I don't know whether it was the technology given by Germany, but now the Germans handed over the smokeless gunpowder technology to Austria-Hungary The meaning is very different, although the Germans are diplomatically partial to Russia, but the advanced military technology of smokeless gunpowder is privately handed over to Austria-Hungary is also regarded as giving Austria-Hungary a reassurance, so it can also be regarded as giving Austria-Hungary an explanation.

"It's not mine, today I only talk about hunting, not about state affairs." Franz immediately adjusted his mind and apologized. Since the Germans were willing to show the guns to the Austrian-Hungarians, it was naturally an attitude, and they were anxious.

After packing up, the group entered the hunting ground, while the retinue followed with hounds. Franz and Jochen were in the front, while Marie and her best friend were surrounded by a group of courteous Austro-Hungarian nobles who looked more like they had come on a blind date than for hunting.

Jochen and Franz chatted with each other, chatting with unnutritious polite words such as "the weather is nice today" and "the environment is beautiful here".

"Shhhh Following the direction of his finger, Jochen saw a gray rabbit, so he turned sideways slightly, signaling that this was Franz's prey, Franz didn't push, took the Manlicia in his hand to aim and then pulled the trigger, and it was dark. After the smoke screen characteristic of gunpowder filled, the hound rushed out, and after a while, the hound returned with its prey in its mouth.

"Good marksmanship, this is the first prey of the day, a good start, our harvest today will be very good." Jochen complimented.

"Thank you, Jochen, and I think it's going to be a great day." Franz patted Jochen's shoulder vigorously, then pointed ahead: "Don't you show me your hand?" There, it seems, there is some prey. ”

"Then I'll be ugly." So he took out a pair of binoculars from the breast pocket of his vest and looked into the distance, and soon found a small herd of stags at the edge of the woods on the hillside ahead, and then took out a bridge clamp from the other pocket, pulled the bolt, and skillfully loaded it. Then he got down on one knee, calmed his breathing, and then pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the front torso of the stag, and it immediately fell to the ground, and the deer fled in confusion, quickly unloaded and loaded, and pulled the trigger again, and a running stag seemed to hit a wall, fell to the ground, and pulled the bolt again to find that the deer had lost sight. Jochen let out a breath, then stood up.

"Wow, how far is that? 400 meters? Two shots and two hits, it was an eye-opener for me, Jochen. Franz exclaimed.

"Thanks, I'm lucky."

"But this vest of yours has also opened my eyes, binoculars, bullets, these pockets do look like they can hold a lot of things, what else do you have in them?"

Jochen silently pulled out a jug from it.

"You're right, it's really easy to hold things."

"Brother Franz, did you hit the prey?" At this time, Mary also came to the side.

"Yes, I hit a rabbit and Jochen hit two deer, but it's a bit far away and the hounds can't drag the two big ones back, so we'll have to get over now."

"So you guys were just talking about marksmanship?" Mary asked with interest.

"No, I'm interested in this vest on Jochen, it can hold anything, binoculars, bullets, and a water bottle!"

"I'll give you a few when the time comes, so that it will be much more convenient for Franz when you go out hunting." Seeing that Franz was interested, Jochen immediately offered a favor.

"Then I'll thank you in advance." For Franz, an item that would help him in hunting was much happier than other gifts.

"Thank him for what to do, it should be him for thanking you. Brother Franz, you are a frequent hunter, and when the time comes, he will help you promote this outfit and it will surely make it famous. When the time comes, he will not be happy. Mary said playfully.

This reminded Jochen that indeed, a prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who likes to hunt, will be the crown prince in the future, and there is no better advertising effect than this to go hunting with HK company products. This is indeed making a lot of money on their own.

"Look, now he must be thinking that he has made a lot of money, and today he must have deliberately worn such a suit, it must have been on purpose." The girl slyly joked about Jochen. God is merciful, I'm really not here to be a salesman.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for reminding me, I did earn it." Jochen winked his eyes at the girl, jokingly.

"Since you thank me, you must show it."

"Then may I ask what Her Highness the Princess wants me to say?"

"I want one too." The girl stretched out her hand and made a begging look.

"Gladly."

Note 1: Historically, the 1888 Committee Rifle was produced with the help of Stairs, and the production was as high as 300,000 units.
