Chapter 249: Pillow Wind

The negotiations with the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz are now over, and all that remains is some polite words, Gao Hongsheng didn't think that he would finish the talks at once, this kind of thing can't be solved in one or two conversations at all.

After meeting with the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Joseph, Gao Hongsheng resigned the invitation of the emir to let him visit the Skoda Arsenal, and only asked him to send all the cannons that had been successfully made to the training ground prepared by Archduke Ferdinand.

He was busy giving a great gift to the princess Sisi and the Emperor Joseph, an extraordinary gift.

On the fourth day in Vienna, Heroes' Square is not called Heroes' Square now, it is just the outer square of the Hofburg Imperial Palace, which is part of the "Imperial Square" that has not been fully built, and it is the Hofburg Imperial Palace to the east, where you can have a good view of the Reichstag, the City Hall, and the city of Vienna.

In the middle of the square, a group of workers began to build a two-story high scaffolding, when the scaffolding was completed, the entire construction site was surrounded by a long curtain, especially the surrounding strict guards, but also surrounded by the construction site, so that curious people can only watch from a distance and guess what is going on inside.

After Gao Hongsheng gave a series of construction drawings of the entire project to the engineer Albert brought in, he said to Albert with some anxiety: "I hope this guy can assemble that thing perfectly, is he the best?" ”

"Yes, the shopkeeper, he's the best building engineer in the country, and if he can't do it well, then we really can't do it. The one-centimeter-thick flakes are butted together, there can be no gaps around, and the appearance can not make people see the traces of splicing, the number is not much, only one hundred and forty pieces, but it can only be successfully bonded at one time, and it cannot fail, God, this is simply too difficult. ”

"No way, it's the thickest thickness that can be processed, but after that thing is put together, Albert! You'll be amazed. ”

Gao Hongsheng looked at Albert triumphantly after speaking, that thing can definitely make people unforgettable, lingering, even in modern times, not many people have seen it.

"Well, after looking at that rendering, I admit that it's a rare work of art, and no one can resist its charm." Albert said sincerely.

"Okay, whatever, what's going on with the drills, what's going on with Archduke Ferdinand?"

"It will take a day or two, and the drawings of the fortifications you gave him are confused by the generals under him, especially when you say that with this fortification, your small army can resist the attack of ten times the number of Austro-Hungarian ** troops, and even more so that they will teach you a good lesson, and there are other exercises that are even more unheard of, but Archduke Ferdinand is very interested. He's glad you to teach those old-fashioned, anyway, old-fashioned generals who call you old-brained.

It is estimated that many people will come to see how your small unit was on the day of the exercise, defeated by the heroic Austro-Hungarian ** team.

However, shopkeeper, I have confidence in your army, they are equipped with the best and most advanced weapons in the world, I have seen their training, especially the scene when those guys called machine guns shoot, it is really spectacular, a metal storm composed of particle bullets, forming an impenetrable line of death in front of the position, this is what Mr. Feng said, no one can cross that line of death, not even immortals. ”

"I really don't know what those old guys in Austria-Hungary think, they even fantasize about the tactics of cavalry charge, don't they know that the era of cavalry charge has long been outdated? When I talked to Archduke Ferdinand about the tactics of skirmishing, they actually said that it was a sign of fear of death, and that the valiant soldiers should line up in a column like a continuous wave to crush the enemy in front of them, which was simply to send them to death. I argued with them, and they insulted my soldiers as cowards. Let my cowards teach them a good lesson and let them know how far modern warfare has come. These stubborn old stubborns, I'm sorry for not giving them some color. ”

It's no wonder that Gao Hongsheng was so angry, after meeting His Royal Highness the Emperor that day, he turned around and ran to Archduke Ferdinand to study the exercises, and at the same time, he also went to set up a set, but he didn't expect that when he discussed the current tactics of infantry application with Archduke Ferdinand, Archduke Ferdinand's generals didn't know how to match him, and raised strong questions and contempt for the trench defense system and skirmish line offensive system he proposed.

A very harmonious meeting was disturbed by those generals, and he also wanted to win over Archduke Ferdinand and ask him to help Joseph talk a few good things about the Philippines, but the Philippine affairs did not even have a chance to talk, so he became angry.

Fortunately, Bo Caiyun went very smoothly, and he got to know the beautiful Sophie Lady Sophie, the future daughter-in-law of Archduke Ferdinand, and became friends with her, and at the same time entrusted her with the right to sell their goods in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so that Archduke Ferdinand was kidnapped in Gao Hongsheng's chariot in disguise.

However, this matter is also a good thing for him, the goods supplied by Gao Hongsheng are all in-demand goods exclusively distributed in the market, and the huge sales profits of medicines, stockings, and condoms are enough for him to establish a distribution channel and make friends with a large group of powerful people.

As the heir to the throne, Archduke Ferdinand's property is not very much, and if he wants to get more property, he will inevitably have to conflict with other nobles.

At that time, the main reason why people looked down on Sophie was that first, her status was low, and secondly, she had no money, and marrying Archduke Ferdinand was simply a real-life version of the legend of Prince and Cinderella.

The legend is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, her status determines that she is an arrow target, you are embarrassed to mix in the aristocratic circle if you don't shoot a few arrows on it, and after shooting a few arrows, the target will not even have a little means of counterattack in addition to sulking itself, such a good target who does not shoot a few arrows up, the result is also the tragedy of Sophie, which is also the main reason why Archduke Ferdinand went to Serbia with her.

Now with the right to sell Gao Hongsheng's goods, those nobles want to get the right to distribute, they must befriend Sophie, which will be of great help to the improvement of her status, through the distribution of those goods, on the one hand, she can get huge profits, on the other hand, she can also get through the distribution of the distribution of guò distribution rights, and compile a huge network, which will be of great help to the improvement of her status, no one will have trouble with money, let alone a large amount of money.

The pillow wind is not strong, but it can't withstand the long-term blowing, and the pillow wind is the best means of bribery.

(The following is a legend, the legend of the car that Archduke Ferdinand had an accident, which can be described as the most terrifying vehicle in history. I don't say exactly what his ride is like here, but you can refer to the open-top four-seater sports car, which basically looks like that. )

The first accident occurred on June 28, 1914, and in the early morning of June 28, the "Young Bosniaks" group placed seven Assassins on the street where the Austrian crown prince was passing. At around 10 a.m., after reviewing military exercises on the outskirts of the city, the Ferdinands proudly entered Sarajevo in an open-top car. A long line of royal cars slowly drove through the crowded streets, with only a sparse line of gendarmes and police on both sides of the road. Ferdinand sat in the second car and Sofia sat to his right. The head of the Bosnian military junta, General Oscar Potiorek, sat on the left seat, and next to the chauffeur was the attendant, Count Harahi. When the convoy crossed the Chumurya Bridge over the Milyatska River in the center of the city and entered the Appel Pier, the first assassin who was ambushed there failed to make a move because a policeman came up and stood in front of him. Another assassin, Chabrinovich, not far away, suddenly burst out of the crowd and threw a bomb at the car in which the Ferdinands were travelling, but it was bounced to the ground by the canopy and exploded in front of the third car, injuring General Portiocre's deputy and Sophie's maid. After the incident, Ferdinand thought that there was nothing wrong, so he wanted to go to the hospital to see his injured subordinates to greet him, and he was supposed to go to the hospital, but the driver deflected in the wrong direction and happened to bump into Princip, who was waiting at the corner of the street. The opportunity for assassination came. Principo drew his pistol and was about to raise his gun to shoot when a policeman not far from him spotted him and rushed up to grab him by the arm. What a coincidence. At this moment, a member of the "Young Bosnia" named Mihailopsala, who had just arrived here, waved his hand like a bolt of lightning and punched the policeman in the neck, and the policeman was caught off guard. At this time, Princip's gunshots rang out, and the Austrian crown prince and his wife were killed. Suddenly, there was chaos in all directions, and Mikhailo took the opportunity to flee the scene as quickly as possible, while Princip was arrested on the spot and died in prison.

This incident later became the trigger for the First World War, and anyone who knows a little bit about world history knows about it. However, there are many "excellent watches" of this car later, which are little known.

While the war was still in the making, the Austrian royal family felt that the car was a hoodoo because of the misfortune it had brought to the country, and was ready to send it to the "cold palace". Just then, an unfortunate man came to the door. At that time, a prince happened to see this car, fell in love with this luxurious and magnificent luxury car at first sight, and felt that if he could drive such a car on the street, it would be majestic, so he proposed to borrow this car from the royal family. Although the royal family thought that the car was a hoodoo because of the death of the crown prince, they did not think that the matter had much to do with the car and agreed. After the prince borrowed this car, he asked a friend to drive the car for a ride, and the result was very tragic, and the two of them went to Huangquan together, but the car was almost intact. Immediately after that, the First World War broke out, and the European theater of war was in full swing. The commander of the 5th Division of the Austrian Army was a brave and skilled general who had made many great achievements at the beginning of the First World War. As he marched forward, the car was contained by his army, then handed over layer by layer, and finally reached his hands, and he fell in love with the car at first sight, as his "mount". Unfortunately, on the twenty-first day after he got the car, the Battle of Salzburg began, and the victorious general, known as the "God of Luck", was defeated in this battle and was dismissed and forced back to Vienna, where he went insane not long after. After the general was severely punished, the car was obtained by one of his staff, an army captain. The captain was ninth to get the car, and he drove out and killed two walking farmers on the road. When the captain saw the tragic accident, he hit the steering wheel in a hurry, but unexpectedly, the car crashed headlong into a tree on the side of the road, and the captain flew up from his seat, smashed through the windshield in front of him, and fell out of the car, bleeding from his head. After the First World War, this car is already full of holes, but its luxury style has not diminished, and it is still loved by everyone. After the war, the first owner of the car was a local administrator, who repaired the car as his own special car. Little did he know that the car had been involved in four crashes in four months, and in the fourth crash, the officer broke his spine and became disabled for life. A series of misfortunes made the car "famous", and the unfortunate administrative official wanted to get rid of the car, although the price dropped again and again, but no one dared to care, and people were talking about the "car" discoloration. The official had no choice but to disassemble the car and sell its parts. Just then, an unbelieving buyer came to the door, a doctor in Sals. He was a man of great scientific belief and found the car ridiculously naïve, so he bought it for a very low price and drove it safely for six months. Six months can be said to be a safe driving record for this car. Because of this record, the doctor began to become complacent, and he was no longer as careful as before. One morning, he drove to the doctor's office, and when he was found, the car had overturned on four wheels in a low-lying area, and to his surprise, the car was intact, and the doctor had died on the side of the road. Because there is no proof of death, no one knows how the car accident happened. The doctor's widow sold the car to a jeweler, who accidentally committed suicide a year later. The car changed hands again, and the new owner was a doctor, a doctor with a very good reputation, and it took a long time for people to see him. However, since he got the car, people are afraid of being infected with magic and will be unlucky, so they stop looking for him, and business plummets. In desperation, he had to run around looking for a new buyer. Because of the excellent performance of this car, the appearance is luxurious, and the price is getting lower and lower, there are always those who do not believe in evil and are willing to buy it. The new owner of the car was a young and energetic racer, but unfortunately the driver had an accident in his first race after getting the car, and he was thrown out of the car and died. The car then returned to Salzburg with a new buyer from a farmer near Salzburg. A few months later, on a sultry afternoon, the farmer was driving to Salzburg, and on the way, the car suddenly broke down mechanically and could not move, and when the farmer was helpless, he saw a farmer coming with a horse-drawn cart and asked the farmer to help him tow the car to the nearby area for repairs. Just after the carriage dragged the car, the engine suddenly started and sped forward, smashing the carriage to pieces, killing both the farmer and the farmer, and the car overturned by the gutter on the side of the road before stopping. A taxi operator saw that the price of this car was very low, and it was luxurious and beautiful, and he thought that he would be able to sell it for a good price after modification. So I bought the car, repaired it and repainted it to give it a new look. However, people know that this car is a "magic car", and many days have passed, and no buyer has come to the door. A few days later, in the evening, the owner of the car was in a hurry to attend the wedding banquet and could not find another car for a while, so he drove this car and went with six friends. But halfway through, the car crashed into a telephone pole on the side of the road, killing four people on the spot and leaving two disabled for life. It was not until the outbreak of World War II that the car was blown to pieces by Allied planes, and the bones remained. That's the story of that car. I identified that the car had no seat belts, no airbags, and no four-circuit ABS braking system. Haha, everyone just look at it and smile, don't take it too seriously.
