Jochen and Mary's painstaking efforts did not bear fruit, and the active Crown Prince did not prematurely put his interest in women, so that the most revered couple of the Empire were both relieved and worried.

At this time, Jochen could roughly understand why the then Crown Princess Victoria was nagging in her ear at every turn when she was 16 or 7 years old when she went to stay at the Kiel Naval Academy, and even when she came home from vacation, she would rather stay in her study than attend the ball.

Well, because his wife is now also repeating this scene on her own son. However, Reinhardt's answer was "there is no common language", to which Yochen was speechless, you talk to the noble lady about flying, of course they don't have a common language with you, what can they say except that this thing is dangerous?

Well, Jochen has to admit that these things are also quite dangerous, DELAG's civilian airship has had two accidents so far, but fortunately there are no casualties in the morning. The airships of the army and navy have had serious accidents in which boats have been destroyed and people have died, and it is even more common for planes to crash.

Although the danger caused by such accidents is far less than the danger caused by the increase in the number of traffic accidents caused by the popularization of automobiles, after all, there were traffic accidents in the horse-drawn carriage era, so there is nothing to make a fuss about, and it is indeed more shocking to fall from the sky.

In response to his son's reaction, Jochen could only say that we had no choice but to give up the evil feudal patriarchy, although it seemed that he was actually one of the victims of this system.

However, Frederick III gave himself the right to choose one or the other, and now Jochen decided to give Reinhardt time to spend time with, and after the discussion between the husband and wife, the third daughter of Dwig IV on the Hesse Great Highway, Elenie, who was supposed to marry his second brother Prince Heinrich in history, and the 15-year-old daughter of Ruprecht, the grandson of Ruprecht, the grandson of Prince Luppold, the regent of the Kingdom of Bavaria, became candidates for the German crown princess.

On the one hand, because if Reinhardt and Ilmingard marry. In one fell swoop, the two royal families of Hesse and Bavaria can be encircled, of course, Jochen does not attach much importance to this. Compared with the weight of the two royal families, Ruprecht, who was known as the best military commander among the German royal family during the First World War, was more valuable in the eyes of Jochen himself, and having such an old man was a huge help to Reinhardt.

Of course, another important reason is that Ilmingard has the beauty of his aunt, Alexandra, the Russian empress. Considering that the Bavarian royal family does not seem to have produced a tradition of beautiful women in recent generations, it seems that this gene can only come from the Archduke of Hesse.

Thinking of this, Yoheng also had to sigh again, if it weren't for this butterfly effect, where would he have to find a wife with the right status for his son, the elders can provide assistance, and he will be as beautiful as a flower?

Of course, Jochen wouldn't be stupid enough to go straight to Ruprecht and say that your daughter is good, and I want her to be the future German Crown Princess. It's too explicit, and it's up to me whether my stupid son can react. Therefore, Jochen asked Mary to come forward and Elenie to tactfully express that he liked the child Ilmingard, and very much hoped that she and his daughter would be companions, and the two families would often move around when they were free.

With such hints, the shrewd Prince Lütbold and the future Ludwig III would understand what to do.

Helping his son do this, Yoheng felt that he had done his best, and he didn't have this treatment in his two lives!

When Yoheng had a good image in his previous life, he wanted to fall in love, but he had a thief's heart and no courage, because he wanted to get money from his family when he didn't have independent financial ability. Do you really think that your father's belt from a military background can't be sucked to death? And when he became an office worker with independent financial ability, his image plummeted and became a fat circle. This kind of image to fall in love, my God, what kind of vision can I see your sister?

In this life, the image is leveraged, and isn't it just a matter of saying that you can use the family's money to pick up girls? However, I thought that the conditions were so good, so it didn't matter if we didn't have to be in such a hurry. Take your time and always find what satisfies you, and then, there is no then.

So to help his son do this, his father should also retire, and the next thing is Mary's business, anyway, he is not involved. I still have a lot of things to get involved, and I don't have time to work hard for my teenager's first love. So Jochen stood in front of the gods of HK Company.

"John, I've seen the kind of fully automatic rifle you designed, don't give the weapon in the designed state to anyone in the future, I don't want others to know what we're working on." "Also, I know that you are not willing to put an immature weapon in front of me, and I really don't have much energy to pay attention to your current research, but I hope that at least you will let me know when you have any conclusions, at least I don't have to know about it until my son has used it in front of me." ”

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty." Browning bent down to apologize, and then said, "Please rest assured that we will inform you of our research direction in the future." ”

"That's fine." Jochen nodded, "And don't be too demanding, John, what do you think is a failure, but someone told me on the spot to immediately equip the army?" ”

"Then he must have only seen the advantages of this weapon in terms of sustained firepower, and not its other disadvantages." Browning said solemnly: "It is indeed a huge advantage to improve the durability of firepower, but this does not mean that simply increasing the automation process is enough, if so, each soldier can do it with a Maxim machine gun." Today's fully automatic rifles are too bulky and unsuitable for ordinary infantry. ”

"It seems that you have the same opinion as me, John, and now that you have a research direction, I don't have to worry." Jochen smiled, "Tell me about your current research direction." ”

"Actually, I am not alone, in fact, Mr. Makchin, Mr. Ujezd and Mr. Schlegelmir all have different design goals." Browning said with a smile.

Jochen was taken aback by the news: "You mean that 4 designers, including you, are now working in different directions on the basis of Gew.98?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, several gentlemen agreed that Gew.98 had a very good design, and that its automatic principle had a lot of potential to be tapped, so we all tried new things based on its automatic principle." Browning replied.

"It's a lot of fun." Jochen became interested: "Tell me which direction the four of you are working on. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Schlegelmir was the first to speak: "My main goal now is to develop a semi-automatic shotgun and a semi-automatic sniper rifle based on the Gew.98, because the troops have a sound response to the existing shotguns that use the barrel reloading speed is too slow, and the fire gap is too large, while the bolt-action sniper rifle is too slow to shoot and it is difficult to reshoot once missed, and the Gew.98 is a very good platform."

The research of the semi-automatic sniper rifle was very smooth, the Gew.98 already had a high accuracy, and after the use of a high-precision barrel, the use of a floating handguard, and a certain improvement of the firing mechanism to improve the smoothness and sensitivity of the trigger, the accuracy of the new gun was very ideal.

However, although the semi-automatic shotgun is also in production, the performance so far has not been satisfactory. ”

"It's not very reliable, is it?" Jochen asked, "The performance gains are limited. ”

"Uh...... That's right. Schlegmir was slightly stunned, he didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to say the biggest problem that Schlegelmir is currently facing: "The shelling system of semi-automatic shotguns is more prone to malfunction. ”

Semi-automatic sniper rifle Jochen is more supportive, although in theory, the accuracy of a semi-automatic rifle with automatic shelling, air guide rod operation, etc., in which the parts of the gun are in motion, is lower than that of a bolt-action rifle with manual shelling and no automatic parts, but this gap is not as big as many people deliberately exaggerate.

The deliberate rapid re-firing of semi-automatic sniper rifles and the sound of not pulling the bolt to load after firing are huge advantages, as the rapid re-fire gives the shooter a greater margin for error, while the sound of not pulling the bolt can be better concealed.

However, the semi-automatic shotgun is not as good as imagined, indeed, the semi-automatic shooting has indeed improved in the rate of fire, but the cartridge case of the shotgun and the rifle cartridge case can be very different, and the particularity of its structure is challenged when the reliability of the shell is drawn, and in view of the huge volume of the shotgun, the rate of fire can not be expanded at the same time, the time interval between the loading of ammunition is shortened, although the problem has been solved by a certain amount of time after the use of the magazine to feed the ammunition, but on the whole, The performance gains aren't huge, but the cost of reliability is a bit too much to pay, at least in the current era.

But anyway, this kind of research is a good phenomenon, although it may be difficult to come up with satisfactory results now, but the future is still quite valuable, no technology can do one step to the sky, the Americans in the Vietnam War demand for fully automatic shotguns is very huge, but even so, the Remington 7188 and SOW were not successful, until the emergence of AA-12.

So Jochen can wait. (To be continued......)
