Bert also thought it was very strange, it would be normal if the gift was given by other nobles, but the giver was Richard, who had always been known as Grande? Baron Karpacz, this ......

"I just saw Richard? The gift from Baron Karpac was a small stallion, which should be worth no less than £300. ”

300 pounds, which is a fortune that ordinary people cannot earn in a lifetime, but now this Moravian Mr. Grande has given such an expensive gift, which is really unsettling.

"Bert, shall we send the present back?"

Even Ernst, who had a lot of courage, did not dare to accept this gift easily at this moment, and he couldn't help but hesitate to ask Bert about it.

According to his education, gifts exchanged between nobles could never be returned, after all, it meant to provoke and humiliate, but now...... Bert was really afraid that Monsieur Grandet would make some excessive request.

"Well, maybe that's a little out of place."

Bert's appearance at this time made Ernst suddenly laugh dumbly, he wouldn't have thought that Bert was so afraid of this Richard? Baron Karpacz.

"Perhaps we are too cowardly, but it is only a gift, and I believe that our Baron Grandet should also know what can and cannot speak."

Now Bert can only follow Ernst's words and think about the good, but this does not mean that Bert will be discouraged by this, and it turns out that Bert's butler is indeed a little distracted in the next few days.

The following days were very peaceful, reading books every day, walking around the land being cultivated, and meeting a few important people in the town......

The Moravian Army Regiment was in complete control of Ernst, and Colonel Freud, who lived most of the day in the city, was politically active, and even went to Prague to attend a high-level meeting within the police department.

Most of the internal affairs of the army were handled by Andrei, and although the army was still stationed on the outskirts of Moravia, the preparation of the army had been completely converted.

Although some of the army-green cotton coats and black leather boots were not suitable for the Moravian climate, with the distribution of thin tweed military uniforms in spring and autumn, some bloated soldiers began to be much more sophisticated.

However, according to surveys in the military, soldiers are not very fond of single-layer tweed military uniforms in summer, on the contrary, they prefer warm but unsightly military cotton coats.

Andrei's training ability is not bad, the combat effectiveness of 3000 soldiers continues to rise in training, plus sophisticated weapons, Andrei even said that he can fight with ordinary German troops after getting drunk.

It is not obvious that the German Army is the first in the world, but the army generals of various countries privately acquiesce that the German Army is strong, not only the combat ability of the soldiers, but also the ability of the officers.

The most glorious of World War I and World War II was Germany, and countless German generals and marshals showed their skills in the war, and its splendorness can be compared to the period of the Three Kingdoms in the East.

Rumble!

This was the roar of the French Type 1897 Type 75 field gun, and Ernst, who was wearing sunglasses, nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the smoke in the distance. Of course, in fact, he was just pretending, as a guy who knew little about military affairs, how could he tell the power of this artillery?

This was Ernst's second review of the Moravian army, but unlike the previous one, this time Ernst was his own.

At first, when the soldiers in the army green cotton coats appeared in front of Ernst, Ernst had the feeling of being in the 70s in the East, but the skin color on the faces of the soldiers and the guns behind them indicated that it was now in Moravia, the Czech region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in early 1901.

"This is a new type of French artillery in service, with a caliber of 75mm, a weight of 1,544kg, a rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute (maximum), and a range of about 8,550m (grenade)/6,800m (grenade)."

The rate of fire of the Type 1897 Type 75 field gun is good, and the weight allows two horses to easily drag and run, and the comprehensive score can reach more than 60 points, but Ernst, who is accustomed to the rate of fire of artillery in his previous life, is very dissatisfied with the fact that he can occasionally fire 15 shells in a minute.

Why did the new French artillery appear in Moravia? This was thanks to powerful piracy, which was actually sold to Austria-Hungary at a low price by German intelligence officers, after obtaining the specific parameters of the artillery.

Although it is not suitable to put it out directly, all the legions are secretly equipped with this artillery, and I believe that after a period of time, the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will make new progress in negotiations with France, and then this artillery can be openly displayed.

"We have a total of six guns, and this is a special approval from the Quartermaster Service with the help of His Royal Highness the Archduke Ferdinand......"

Seeing Andrei's intention to improve his relationship with Archduke Ferdinand, Ernst was amused in his heart but on the surface he changed the subject flatly: "Let's take a look at the other weapons!" ”

Andrei was somewhat disappointed by Ernst's attitude, who had come on the task of Duchess Sophie, but Ernst was clearly not interested in talking about these topics.

The M1910 Maxim heavy machine gun, placed in 1901 it was quite an advanced weapon, and at the same time it was also available only in Moravia.

The wheels increase its transfer and marching speed, the baffle gives the soldiers who operate it a safe place, and the rate of fire is needless to say, and the swept fire net can block any enemy.

War horses! Steed!

Now Ernst estimates that what is most lacking is war horses, heavy machine guns, manpower is also possible, but where is there a suitable war horse? Even without the formation of a cavalry battalion, the number of horses needed in the Moravian military camp now reached 200.

Officers are not counted for the time being, and six guns need to occupy twenty horses (spare). The M1910 Maxim heavy machine gun is equipped with a total of 40 guns, which also requires more than 80 horses, plus the vehicles that pull and transport pills and logistics, 200 war horses can only be regarded as barely enough.

A good war horse costs at least 20 pounds, and 200 horses are about 5,000 pounds, not to mention the current Moravian Army Regiment, even Ernst himself can't afford so much money now.

Andrei was also aware of Ernst's situation, so he didn't cry anything, after all, even crying didn't gain anything.

"The quickest way for an army to combat is in actual combat, and I hope you can understand that."

Ernst knew all the things Andre naturally knew, but now there was no chance for him to fight, he could only look at Ernst who was standing and talking without backache with some depression.

At this time, Ernst also realized the mistake in his words, but as the Count of Moravia and the honorary commander of the Army Regiment, Ernst would never admit that he was wrong, so he chose to turn a blind eye to Andrei's gaze.

The jungle special soldiers trained by Leo and Kuipa have also begun to take effect, but the soldiers who died unexpectedly cost Ernst a lot of money, so Ernst is very dissatisfied with Leo and Cuipa.

The jungle special soldiers are not mainly engaged in a head-on confrontation with the enemy, their purpose is to snipe local officers and cut off the opponent's headquarters, so the individual combat ability required is very demanding.

Unfortunately, Leo and Cuipa have never seen the dragon in sight, and now even Ernst can't find anyone to review their results.
