Chapter 66: Split in Two

Ernst 23rd Rugby Tournament - 41 days!

The banner hanging at the entrance of the town made the townspeople very happy, and the only person with a straight face was probably Bert, the chief steward of the castle who came to participate in the event, after all, the funds for the event were all in his hands.

Even if the wealth is not his own, as a steward, Bert has the responsibility and obligation to make the master's wealth continue to grow, and not to decrease it as little as it is now.

Ernst did not attend the pre-event ceremony, as he was hosting an important figure for Ernst in Moravia.

"For four weeks in a row, Yankulovsky is consuming your time like this?"

True, standing in front of Ernst was the battalion commander of the Major of the Moravian Army Regiment, and only today he did not have time to return, and the attitude of the commander of the Army Regiment Jankulovsky was clear at a glance.

Ernst was very unhappy, because the legion itself belonged to Ernst, but now that everything was in the hands of the Yankulovsky who didn't know what it looked like, how could this make Ernst happy?

"The situation in Moravia is very complicated, and His Royal Highness Archduke Ferdinand has no choice but to make a compromise!"

I was afraid that Ernst would misunderstand something, so Ernst explained this, but he was not very interested in explaining Ernst, and it didn't matter what the reason was, what mattered was how to take back control of the army.

However, the situation in Moravia is indeed complicated, at the beginning Archduke Ferdinand wanted to set up a legion here, the local parliament was firmly opposed, but for some reason they actually agreed to Archduke Ferdinand's request a few months later, but they had one request, that is, to make Yankulovsky the head of this army.

It's just a person in charge, and Archduke Ferdinand agreed without much thought, but ...... Even Ernst did not expect that the nobles of the Moravian local council had already reached an agreement with some of the nobles of Vienna, which led to the collapse of a large number of officers from Vienna under the banner of Jankulovsky.

Of course, the Moravian local council or its president, Viscount Ladislav Berland, also paid a considerable price, needless to say, the additional annual salary allowance, and the Viennese nobleman needed a lot of money to pay for it.

Just because there are many interests involved, even Archduke Ferdinand can't act rashly in this matter, after all, he is not Ernst, not the lord here, and he does not have much say here. And Ernst was still in the Vatican at the time, and it was too intense and could even make things worse.

"Regimental Commander Yankulovsky is a very capable person, if ......"

"But he was the nephew of Ladislav Berland, and he was completely on a different side from us from the beginning."

André tried to persuade Jankulovsky to persuade Ernst, but Ernst refused without hesitation, not only because of his kinship with Ladislav Berland, but also because of his contempt and negligence for Ernst.

Ernst has never been a particularly generous person, especially in terms of character, and since you have treated me like this, you have to suffer the consequences of such treatment.

Andrei obviously wanted to say something else, but seeing Ernst's somewhat impatient face, Andrei was very amused, and he was very amused.

"I'm going to go to the barracks in three days, after all, I still have the status of an honorary regiment commander."

Honorary regimental commander, brigadier general rank, this may be the nirvana given to Ernst by Archduke Ferdinand, after all, with these two identities, he can largely contain Yankulovsky or Viscount Ladislav Berland behind him.

In his heart, he didn't agree with Ernst's plan, but Andrei didn't dare to say anything, after all, he had already made Ernst dissatisfied with his three weeks of coming to see him, and what he had just said made Ernst dissatisfied again, and if he continued, he would probably lose Ernst's new position.

It wasn't as serious as André thought, but if he continued to stop it, then Ernst would probably consider what to do for his future.

"Andrey, do you think it's possible to split the Moravian Army Regiment in two?"

Divided? What does this mean, does it......

The worst that Ernst considered at that time, after all, Viscount Ladislav Berland had lived in this land for decades, how could Ernst, a newcomer, be his opponent?

The only place where Ernst can call the shots now is the current three-third of an acre of land, once he gets out of here, then it is the territory of Viscount Ladislav Berland, he wants military power without military power, and his economic strength is not too strong, and finding a way to break free from the influence of Viscount Ladislav Berland is the only way out for Ernst.

Frowning, Andrei did not directly veto what Ernst was going to do, he just said in embarrassment: "But the munitions are in the hands of the local council, and it would be ...... if it was divided into two."

"We can solve the problem of food ourselves, and equipment and weapons ...... Let me figure it out, it's not a problem! ”

Andrei was interrupted by Ernst before he finished speaking, looking at Andrei was very confident, Andrei was very puzzled, equipment and weapons are not a trivial matter, even Archduke Ferdinand is not easy to solve!

Naturally, no one would have known that Ernst also had a whole Soviet military base, not counting the machine shops, and the preparation of finished products alone would have allowed Ernst to arm four or five divisions.

"If the issue of equipment and weapons can be solved, then it will be divided into two, and I believe that the local council will be happy to see such an outcome."

Naturally, they would be very happy, because the army regiment is still honorably Ernst's army regiment, and once it is divided into two, it means that Ernst has given up the fight for it.

It was a time of peace, but every nobleman needed some force to protect his interests, and Moravia itself did not have an army, and if they could completely control this army, it is believed that their influence could even cover the entire eastern part of the Czech Republic.

Continuing to talk to Andrei about the Moravian Army Regiment, and knowing something about the situation there, Ernst let André leave, after all, he was the army that had left under the pretext of mailing something, and he had to return to the barracks on time.

Of the more than 3,000 or so army regiments, less than 500 people are now likely to defect to Ernst, and if it were not for the Soviet military base in the 70s, it is estimated that Ernst would probably be discouraged and honestly become the lord of his thousands of acres of land.

At Ernst's behest, rumors began to circulate in the barracks that Ernst wanted to divide the Moravian Army in two, and the soldiers here had a general impression of Ernst before they met.

The soldiers knew what the officers knew, and the officers knew very well, and in addition to the fact that Yankulovsky had ordered a thorough investigation of the people who had spread the information, he went to the house of the head of the Moravian local parliament, Viscount Ladislav Berland, and that night there was no one to know about it, but the next day Yankulovsky expressed his desire to invite Ernst to visit the barracks.

Although it is not explicitly stated, it is clear that this is the response of Jankulovsky or Viscount Dislav Bran.

The Moravian nobles reacted differently to this, with Viscount Disslav Berland's staunch allies delighted that Viscount Dislóf Berland's strength would be further strengthened, while some nobles were disappointed, and they wanted to see Ernst lose both with Viscount Dislav Berland, but who would have thought that Ernst would give up like this.

If given the choice, perhaps they would even have preferred it to be Ernst rather than Viscount Dislav Berland, who had proven to be very aggressive.

No one knows the exact character of Ernst, but he is just a little doll, and even if the news from Vienna is somewhat surprising, it cannot be denied that Ernst is just a little doll.

Just a little doll, what impact can he make?

Even though he has a very special status here, and the title of Count of Moravia, which symbolizes the lord of Moravia.
