Hiding is not a way after all, so he returned to the castle and smiled at Archduchess Maria, who had been over for a while, and casually picked up the red wine on the table and poured a glass and drank it all.

"Today you can go to the Morava River, which is well renovated now, and collecting shells and sunbathing, these should be things that you little girls like."

The thirsty Ernst poured another glass of red wine, and at the same time motioned to the Archduchess Maria to ask her if she needed it, and shook her head with a blushing face, and the Archduchess Maria was obviously in a depressed mood.

She was a clever girl, and had been here for some time, and although she had stayed with Czech relatives who had some relationship with Nicholas II, Ernst was undoubtedly the place where she arrived very quickly, but ...... Ernst didn't know why he had been hiding from her.

In St. Petersburg, she heard a lot about Ernst, who was given the title of Son of God since childhood, who went on a pilgrimage to the Vatican with a bishop before the full moon and lived there for six years. Soon after his return to Vienna, he was awarded the title of Count of Moravia. This age should have been an age of fun and playfulness, but Ernst quietly managed a territory, and under his rule Moravia became the most prosperous region in the whole of the Czech Republic.

There was nothing she liked or disliked about her fiancé, Archduchess Maria, she was just curious and compromised with her identity and future, or she didn't resist becoming the wife of the legendary lord.

Archduchess Maria is 12 years old this year, but for members of the royal family who were born at the age of 12, she already knows a lot of things, just like the Sufi lord a few years ago.

"Ernst...... Can you attend for my birthday this year? ”

It was the first time to say such a thing, and the meaning of the words was a little ambiguous, which made the little girl who was only 12 years old very embarrassed, and her face was a little stumbling if she didn't speak.

"Birthday? Saint petersburg? ”

"Yes, it's St. Petersburg."

Seeing Ernst frowning and Archduchess Maria was a little nervous, this was not what she meant but what Nicholas II meant, as a little girl who had never rejected her father, it was really difficult to say bluntly that she invited her fiancé to her birthday party.

"Of course...... No problem. ”

After all, it was his fiancée and the other party had already said it, so the refusal could not be said in any way, not to mention that Ernst also wanted to see what the capital of the Russian Empire was like at this time, as prosperous as Vienna or as religious as Rome.

In fact, for the royal families of European countries, that part of Russia is synonymous with poverty, coldness, and backwardness, which is better than that of the East but far inferior to the countries of Western Europe.

"Really? Don't forget June 15th! ”

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief when she had completed the task of Nicholas II, and at this time she remembered the beach of the Morava River that Ernst had just mentioned, and immediately asked about it.

The new Moravian New Town, which is on the side of the Morava River, has been renovated and the possibility of flooding has been reduced to a considerable extent, so the safety of the new city is guaranteed. The renovated Morava River is now an important transport route for Moravia's foreign trade, with nearly a fifth of the large quantities of wine and local produce being transported from here every year.

At the same time, a few pieces of beach have also become the favorite place for the rich and noble people in the vicinity, and it is a very happy thing to think about lying on the beach and playing and playing, but now Europe is not as open as after World War II, and there are few beautiful bikini beauties.

The bikini was already available, and the birthplace was naturally Moravia, but it had nothing to do with Ernst, which was one of the works of a clothing company founded by a Moravian nobleman at the suggestion of Ernst, and naturally Ernst was a shareholder in it and held a considerable stake.

At this time, the Moravian aristocracy had completely given up the meager interests of the land, and the clothing companies, red wine, and secondary processing industries made the Moravian economy rise at the same time, but also made these nobles make a lot of money.

In recent years, the Moravian aristocracy contributed to the local economy, but Ernst was investing in the British and American financial markets, although there were some losses, but most of the time they were still profitable.

The supermarket, the arms business, the pharmaceutical company, all the lucrative businesses that Van Ernst could think of were all pushed to Bert, and now even the steward in charge of Ernst's finances had begun to lose count of the extent of his count's secret wealth.

£50 million or billions? But if you count fixed assets, Ernst's title of a billionaire will never run away, but what has always puzzled Bert is why Ernst didn't invest all this in Moravia and Austria-Hungary?

No one knew the apprehension in Ernst's own heart, and he was ready to fight against fate, but at the same time he quietly made large investments in the absolute safety of the First World War around the world, leaving himself a way out.

Over the years, Ernst has salvaged a lot of things in the mysterious space, and imitated and copied many items that are more than twenty or thirty years old in the secretly established research laboratory. For example, radio communicators, quick-setting cement, etc., which were much more stable than they are now, may have made a breakthrough in military affairs with simplified versions of tanks and machine-gun fighters.

Cement has been discovered by British engineers since 1756, but it was not until 1824 that it was fully used, and the military importance of Moravian fast-setting specialty cement is self-evident.

The tank is based on a scrap tank salvaged from a mysterious space as the prototype copycat, in which the engine technology has made a great breakthrough, and the diesel internal combustion engine has also been introduced more than 20 years ahead of schedule. Compared with gasoline engines, diesel engines are less likely to catch fire after being shot, which is the main reason why Ernst is willing to replace both tanks and fighter jets with diesel engines.

However, Ernst was also dissatisfied with the tank, that is, the appearance was too ugly, and it was difficult to see that Ernst had some unbearable feelings of looking at it. But it is ugly and ugly, and its combat effectiveness is undoubted, which almost replaces the status of heavy cavalry in the era of cold weapons.

A total of 11 such bulky guys were built in the Moravian military-industrial base, although not much, but because they were too simple, even this number of Ernst was a bit too much. Work is underway on the improvement of the tank in the research laboratory, and the fighter is not expected to make much progress in the near future.

Due to the engine, the fighter at this time was an all-wooden structure, but with a layer of iron plates pasted on the outside, and the machine gun was also hung there and needed to be manually controlled. Such a fighter has a bombing function at the same time, the fighter is piloted by two people, and the one behind can take out the bomb from his hand at any time and throw it, this is its bombing function.

Ernst was on site during the first test flight, and the main problem it had to solve was how to get the bullet through the propeller in front, which had plagued the Moravian laboratory for nearly two years. Although the problem has now been solved, the distance is its most regrettable point.

Fighters are not tanks, they cannot stop to refuel, and once the fuel is insufficient, they must return, which undoubtedly greatly limits the combat capabilities of fighters.

Meals have to be eaten in bites, troubles have to be solved one by one, the Moravian research laboratory has been very satisfying to Ernst today, and it has not been in vain that Ernst has spent a huge fortune recruiting scientists and military personnel in various countries, all the efforts have now been paid off, and this reward will be repaid to Ernst in multiple times of the First World War.

Ernst's mind was that fighter planes were ten times more important than tanks, so even though they were only test planes, the number of them had already reached more than 60, and the pilots had already begun to train day and night when Bert was heartbroken about money.

Air warfare in the 21 st century mainly depends on the performance, weapons, and sophistication of fighter planes of various countries, and the role of pilots is naturally very great, but it will never be the same as it is now. Of course, it is much easier to train pilots in the 21st century, at least than it is now, when the importance of an ace pilot is almost comparable to that of a flying group.

Many people don't understand why Ernst is so urgent at this point, and only four years later will they be glad about Ernst's move today.
