"Long live Austria-Hungary, long live Moravia, long live Lord Count Ernst!"

Roar comes from the Moravian Army Academy, and as the founder of this school, Ernst's goal is nothing more than to have a private army of his own in the future.

After the Vojvodina rebellion, the shortcomings of the Moravian army regiments also became apparent, with non-professional background of junior officers and insufficient command ability of middle and senior officers.

For this matter, Bert and Ernst went back and forth between Germany and Austria-Hungary, and the hard work paid off, and the Moravian Army Academy was established in a situation that was half kidnapping and half seducing.

Because there were a large number of officers from Germany, the officers also clearly had the habits of the German Army, but this was a good thing, and the German Army was simply the hegemon after the Middle Ages.

By this time it was already 1910, and eight years had passed in silence, and the Moravian Army Corps had changed a lot, and so had the Moravian Count Ernst Franz.

The Moravian Army Regiment had reached 15,000 men at this time, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had gained great benefits in the Balkans over the years, of which the Moravian Army Regiment had played an important role. Most of the first soldiers were now junior officers, and after a short period of training at the Army Academy, they had reached the standards of German officers.

In the past 8 years, the world has been much calmer, but there are some big things, mainly around the Manchu Empire, Britain and Germany.

In 1903, Liang Qichao of the Manchu Empire went to the United States to meet with the President of the United States, and the Manchu Empire quarreled because it wanted to force Russia to withdraw from the Northeast, and Liang Qichao's trip to the United States was not unrelated to this matter.

But the facts are in front of us, it is impossible for the United States to offend a powerful country like Russia because of the interests of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you must know that the current United States is not the first in the world, and the real hegemon is Britain, which is all over the world.

For the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there have been great changes in the past few years (reforms), but at the same time, there have been many disasters, Russia, Japan, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, all of these countries have been staring at this piece of fat and want to swallow it anytime and anywhere.

In 1904, when Japan attacked Lushun, the Russo-Japanese War officially broke out, which was why Austria-Hungary was able to deal with the Kingdom of Serbia with all its might, and the Balkan Peninsula instantly became the sphere of influence of Austria-Hungary.

For the interests of the Far East, the Siberian Railway, which was vigorously built by the Russian Empire, was officially completed, and considering the future war, Ernst had some small ideas in his heart, and more than a dozen envoys quietly went to the Far East to prepare for an opportunity to meet the Manchu emperor.

At the beginning of 1905, less than a year later, the Russo-Japanese War ended, and to everyone's surprise, Russia surrendered to Japan, and Japan instantly became the object of attention of the world's major powers. Of course, Russia's surrender was also quite linked to the complicated situation at home, and this year was also very important for Ernst, because Archduke Ferdinand had already agreed to Nicholas II's request for marriage, and Ernst somehow added a fiancée.

In the same year, the envoy of Ernst was received by the Guangxu Emperor, although the Guangxu Emperor had been under house arrest for a long time at this time, but there were still many people in the court who were loyal to the emperor, and it was not too difficult to secretly let one person meet with him.

Ernst's purpose was simple, he wanted to train a foreign army in the Manchu Empire, and in the future, they would contain the Russian eastern front from the beginning of World War I, which might not be too big but might be able to change the tide of the war. It's unclear what the future holds, but why not try something?

It was not too difficult to convince the Manchu emperor, everyone wanted to be free, and it just so happened that Ernst was able to give it, provided that the Guangxu Emperor had made up his mind to gamble!

What did Emperor Guangxu say to the two foreigners from the West that day, those ministers who were loyal to Guangxu did not know, the only thing they knew was that the two foreigners were very happy when they left.

At the end of the same year, dozens of 15- and 6-year-old children returned to their homeland from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but at this moment they had no patriotic thoughts in their hearts, and the only object of service was the Austro-Hungarian prince, Count of Moravia, Ernst Franz, who was even younger than them.

In 1906, the Manchu Qing Dynasty compromised with Britain over the Tibetan issue, and the two sides once again signed an unequal treaty.

In July 1907, the Russo-Japanese Agreement and the Russo-Japanese Secret Pact were signed in St. Petersburg, and the two countries colluded with each other to re-divide the Manchu Empire, proposing the so-called Southern Manchurian and Northern Manchurian names.

In two years, Ernst had more than 30,000 foreign legions in the Manchu Empire, but Ernst overlooked one very important thing, such a large number of soldiers had begun to attract the attention of the Manchu governors.

Fortunately, the range of activities of these soldiers was all in the Outer Mongolia region, and except for some Mongolian princes who were very dissatisfied, the governors of the Manchu region were beyond the reach of even if they had any thoughts.

Also out of reach is the plan to rescue Guangxu, Ernst really underestimated the empress dowager of the Manchu Empire, and several adventures to rescue not only did not let Emperor Guangxu get out of the sea of suffering, but also made his situation worse and worse.

In 1908, Ernst's Foreign Legion in Outer Mongolia clashed with the Russian army, and both sides tried to refrain from doing so, but even then the Foreign Legion suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the Kazakh region.

Shortly after the defeat of the Foreign Legion, Emperor Guangxu died in Hanyuan Hall at the age of 38. The next day, the Manchu Empress Dowager Yehenara Xingzhen died of illness at the age of 73.

In December, Puyi succeeded to the throne, and the end of the Guangxu era was changed to Xuantong.

In April 1909, the American Hercules went to Shanghai to compete with Huo Yuanjia of Jinmen, which caused a sensation in Shanghai and the Manchu Empire, even Ernst had heard of it.

On that day, Ernst asked his national art master Du Haibin how big the gap was between him and Huo Yuanjia, Du Haibin shook his head, looked at the sky and then turned to leave.

In September, China and Japan signed the "Majima Entente", and the interests of Japan and the Manchu Qing Empire increased, and the United States expressed its dissatisfaction and threatened Japan, but Japan ignored it.

In 1910, the year Ernst 16.

In 1910, there were still 4 years left in the First World War.

In 1910, Moravia's annual GDP exceeded £10 million, and Ernst was known as the richest man in Austria-Hungary.

In that year, Ernst's personal fortune exceeded 2 million pounds, and his wealth and the Moravian Army Corps made him a force to be reckoned with in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Touch!

The golf club raised high hit the round and snow-white golf ball hard, the action was beautiful, and the posture was handsome, but ...... The goal is not scored.

Bert took it lightly, in fact he was accustomed to his master's golfing talent, and in five years Ernst scored more than three figures and averaged four figures.

A decent suit, a handsome and handsome appearance, and that confident smile make the maids very fantasical. When they didn't know that their master didn't score, how could the Earl not score? This was the thought of most of the servants, including those who were farther away.

This is not to mean anything else, but to say that in the past few years Ernst has become as cheeky as the walls of an ancient castle and it is too easy to believe his expression and ignore the truth.

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Archduchess Maria......"

As Ernst's fiancée, Archduchess Maria naturally came to Ernst when she traveled in Europe, but Ernst did not have a very welcoming attitude towards his fiancée.

It's not that the little girl is not good-looking, on the contrary, her baby fat face is very cute and pretty, but whenever she thinks of the First World War, Ernst can't help but want to retreat, and let such a lovely little girl be sandwiched between her father and husband is unacceptable to Ernst in any case.
