Chapter 1 Why are you teasing me, is there a 59-year crown prince in the world?

Next Chapter

Chen Mu lazily poked his head out of the quilt, rubbed his eyes in a daze, he didn't feel comfortable playing games with his roommate all night last night, and he was feeling that he was old, but the scene in front of him made him suddenly sleepy.

The person in the mirror facing him was not himself, but a blonde gringo!

"What the fuck is going on? I just slept for a while, how did I wake up and even the race changed? Chen Mu's eyes widened when he reacted, and he turned his head to look at the baroque furniture in this room and the extremely luxurious crystal chandelier above his head, which didn't look like his own kennel-like university dormitory.

"Wait, I must have not woken up yet, dreaming." Chen Mu twisted his thigh fiercely, but it almost hurt him to jump, and then he believed that he was indeed not dreaming.

Chen Mu couldn't help but accept a fact that he would not believe if he died, he, Chen Mu, an otaku who did not smoke or drink in the 21st century and only occasionally studied history and military affairs, crossed over.

It seems that the synchronization rate with the new body has not yet reached 100%, and only then did the memories of the original owner of this body all pour into Chen Mu's mind, allowing Chen Mu to have a certain understanding of this world.

"It's 1945, just after the end of World War II. The location is Brussels, the capital of Belgium in Western Europe. He is Prince Albert, the second son of King Leopold III of Belgium, and his brother Baudouin as crown prince. ”

Chen Mu read it out word by word, but soon he realized that something was wrong, wait, am I Albert II? The poor guy who became King of Belgium at the age of 59?

Chen Mu, who has a certain understanding of Belgian history, remembered that after Albert's brother Boshean I ascended the throne in 1950, he had no children until he died of a heart attack in July 1993.

Why are you kidding me? There is no crown prince in the world for 59 years. Chen Mu held his forehead weakly, it seems that his tragic fate in the future is comparable to Prince Charles living in the shadow of the standby king Elizabeth II!

"Well, it looks like you're fully awake."

Just when Chen Mu was almost crazy, a sound suddenly sounded in the empty dormitory for no reason, which made Chen Mu involuntarily shudder, involuntarily hugged the quilt, looked at the empty bedroom, and bluffed and shouted, "Who is it, I will call the police if you don't come out again." ”

"Can you stop yelling so loudly, you can't see me, I'm in your head." The voice was obviously dissatisfied with Chen Mu's impoliteness, and said angrily, "My name is Tianyan, of course, you can also call me alien intelligence technology or something, anyway, the name or something like that doesn't matter." ”

"You brought me to this place?" Chen Mu asked cautiously.

"Ahem." Tianyan coughed awkwardly, and patiently explained, "That's the case, I am the high-level artificial intelligence control system in the mouth of your human beings, and my original duty was to collect their weapon development data in the major galaxies where advanced intelligent life exists, but I didn't expect that the system malfunctioned when your earth was collecting data, and there was no way to temporarily attach myself to humans, but when I was attached to you, there was an accident, As a result, your consciousness and my AI have traveled together into this parallel world where the resemblance is only 90 percent. ”

After listening to his explanation, Chen Mu asked without tears, "Then can I go back?" Oh no, should my consciousness go back? ”

"Strictly speaking, it can't anymore." Tianyan comforted, "You are just at a 10% probability of change here, Belgium here is slightly different from Belgium in your original world, perhaps because of our appearance and the butterfly effect, this country has not experienced the baptism of World War I and World War II, and the identity of the royal family and nobles can also make you live a very nourishing life, the original owner of your body has been several times because of smoking big-hemp paparazzi lace news." ”

At the age of thirteen, he began to play sucking big hemp, it seems that the original owner of this prince is really a fierce role, and it is really mixed feelings to have such a body on the stall, Chen Mu held his chin and thought slowly, Belgium is not a weak country, and the performance during World War II can also be described by the word shame, which is not to blame, next to it is a tiger's eye Germany, plus there is an empire that never sets across the English Channel, and he is an important position at the crossroads of Western Europe, which is completely because the communist army has a high rhythm.

"But Prince Abel in this parallel world doesn't seem to have a good reputation, saying that the Belgian monarch has no real power, damn it, it's good to wear it to France or Germany......" Chen Mu was a little depressed, Belgium is a constitutional monarchy, the monarch is only the nominal commander of the three armed forces, and has no actual military power, even if he has the golden finger of the traverser, the starting point is still too low, after all, the five permanent members of the United Nations will be endless in the next few years, you are still a pair of going out shoes, and you will stage a tower killing for you in minutes.

Tianyan, who seemed to know Chen Mu's inner thoughts, explained, "The 1930 Amendment to the Belgian Constitution stated that the Belgian king held the power of the state, was the head of state and the commander-in-chief of the army, and had the power to appoint and dismiss officials, organize or dissolve parliaments, and decide foreign policy. The prime minister is the head of the cabinet and presides over the government, and the prime minister is appointed by the emperor and is accountable to the emperor and not to the parliament, so you still feel that you will do nothing in the future. ”

After listening to Tianyan's narration, Chen Mu almost laughed, is this the Belgian Constitution? It's a copy of the Constitution of the German Empire of 1871!

Chen Mu's personality is the kind of peace that comes with encounters, and he comforted himself to accept Albert's identity, after all, this is much better than a college student who goes to a second-rate university to study a third-rate major, at least he has no worries about food and clothing.

And he still has the omnipotent alien technology existence of Tianyan, even if he can't open a copy of the United Nations to challenge the P5, he should always make some amazing achievements in this world, instead of spending a mediocre life.

In 1945, it was the era when the development of firearms and weapons in Europe was in flux, as the epoch-making Mauser brothers, Browning had been dead for many years, and Kalashnikov, who was shining in the future, was still working on his AK47 in a small workshop, and Heckler Koch, the founder of HK Company, did not know where to hide from the war that the Allies had spread to Germany.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu continued to negotiate with Tianyan in his mind, "Do you know anything about the development of weapons in this world?" Especially in the area of light weapons. ”

Tianyan was silent for a while before replying, "I don't understand, there is no Internet in this world, I have to rely on reading books to understand the information, and then I can provide you with weapons that can be manufactured at the industrial level of this world, and even the design drawings of nuclear weapons will be a trivial matter to me at that time." ”

Chen Mu nodded and said softly, "I know, from today onwards, I will no longer be called Chen Mu." Eye in the sky, please remember my new name, Albert. ”

Albert got dressed and went downstairs to eat, at this time the memory of this body has been 100% synchronized with him, but this brother's character is really staggering, he is only thirteen years old, he can actually take drugs and fight and skip school, think about what he is doing at the age of thirteen, or look at Ultraman's age.

Albert came to the living room and saw his "older brother" Boshean reading a newspaper while eating.

The first heir to the crown prince, who was supposed to be detained in Germany during the Second World War and exiled in Switzerland after the war, is now sitting here reading the newspaper with peace of mind.

Seeing Albert's appearance, Bo Shean threw a newspaper in front of him with a gloomy face, and said coldly, "Albert, you are really enough to give our family a long face." ”

Albert picked up the newspaper and saw the headline that made him laugh and cry, "Prince Albert was photographed taking drugs in a bar", and the picture and text were well described.

As the heir to the country, Boshean does have his excellent points, not only his political ability, but also his good reputation in the military, and he likes light weapons, and he is even close friends with the chief firearms designer of FN Company, Seifer. On the contrary, he is just a useless waste in the eyes of others.

It was 1945, and Seifer had not yet designed the world-famous FAL assault rifle. Even though Sever's teacher, Browning, has passed away for more than ten years, this excellent student is still shrouded in the shadow of Browning's dazzling halo.

At this time, high-power rifles were rampant, but there were already countries with a keen sense of smell that began to set their sights on the intermediate power bullet and the corresponding light fully automatic rifle, and the Germans developed the world's first true assault rifle MP43 in World War II. The key to assault rifles is the use of intermediate-power bullets that are between full-power rifle and pistol rounds, and the British also set up a small arms ideal caliber review group this year to develop a minimum combination of guns and ammunition that can still be effective at 600 meters.

Although Seifer had already designed a prototype of the FN49 rifle in 1937 and refined his rifle design in the following years, and then officially finalized it into production in 1947, Albert did not have high hopes for this rifle, for the simple reason that the weapon of the future would develop in the direction of a fully automatic rifle, and the FN49 would eventually be replaced by a FAL rifle in the early 50s.

Thinking of this, Albela sat down in a chair, and he asked tentatively, "Brother, I heard that Seifer is perfecting the design of one of his semi-automatic rifles and preparing to equip our troops?" ”

Historically, Seifer did intend to replace the Belgian-produced Mauser rifle with the FN49 as the equipment in service.

"Well, probably." Bo Shean San said a perfunctory sentence with a cold attitude, he has no good impression of this younger brother who hates iron and steel, and Albert has the most gossip in the whole family, and lace news has exposed him more than once for drug use, fighting, and skipping school. There are even people in the royal family who secretly ridicule him as "the scum of the nobility", and even threaten to expel the Belgian family.

After hearing Boshean's affirmative answer, Albert said solemnly, "Then please help me tell Mr. Seifer to give up this meaningless semi-automatic rifle design, which is destined to be obsolete in the future." ”

Bo She'an raised his head and said in a mocking and cold tone, "Oh, could it be that my younger brother, who only knows how to smoke, drink, take drugs, and fight, can actually point fingers at a professional firearms designer?" ”

Albert smiled wryly, he knew that it was destined to be difficult to change his opinion of himself in a short time, but Albert threw out his thoughts about firearms, "The Soviet gunsmith Federov once said that the future evolution of individual weapons may appear two types of firearms: one is a combination of submachine guns and light carbines, using new bullets, and the other is light automatic rifles, which should use more powerful bullets. And I happen to have a friend in the U.S. Technical Committee say that the U.S. intends to develop a new caliber 7.62×51mm T65 rifle cartridge, which is an improved version of Enfield's 0.30-03 rifle cartridge. ”

The friend of the Ordnance Technical Committee was Albert's nonsense, but his professional eloquence shocked Boshean III, and Seifer had indeed revealed to him the development of future weapons before, and told himself that future weapons would be more inclined to the German STG44 kind of rifle, and in a few years, the assault rifle would definitely begin to equip the troops on a large scale.

Of course, Albert will not tell his brother that after the establishment of NATO in 1949, there is an urgent need for a bullet of common caliber between member states, and in 1953, the British Pendeon test site passed repeated tests of the British .280 and the United States T65 two kinds of ammunition, and finally the T65 won in long-range performance and the slight advantage of the cold battlefield, becoming the NATO standard bullet, and the later FAL basically used this caliber bullet. Although in the late fifties, the United States took a fancy to the development prospects of small-caliber rifle cartridges, but for at least the last 20 years, this rifle cartridge will occupy a mainstream position.

The whole restaurant was so quiet that it was audible that a pin was falling, and Boshean III took a deep breath and asked, "Who told you all this?" ”

Albert smiled and shook his head, "Can anyone tell me what I'm thinking about?" I also asked my brother to convey what I had said to Lord Sever, and to tell him that I would not mind providing him with a blueprint for a new firearm, if he wished. ”
