This is the end of the lecture at Cambridge. On the second day of Scrooge's trip to Cambridge, Prince Albert, as Chancellor of Cambridge, announced that he would build a new hospital in Cambridge based on Mr. Scrooge's 61 MacDonald's speech in Cambridge. Some scholars have suggested that as a token of their appreciation for the Prince's kindness, they would like to name the Cambridge University hospital "Prince Albert's Hospital". His Royal Highness the Prince, who was humble enough to say that he had not made any real contribution to the hospital, humbly rejected the mention and proposed to name the hospital after the person who proposed the criteria for the establishment of the hospital, Scrooge 61 MacDonald. Of course, Scrooge did not dare to grab such a naming right with His Royal Highness the Prince, at least for the time being, and could not see the actual profits, so he also expressed his intention to excuse himself. In the end, it is said that Her Majesty Xià put forward a compromise opinion, and she built the name of this hospital, and adopted the method of "using your name, giving my surname", and named it "Scrooge 61 Albert Hospital".

After the Holy Judgment is down, of course, everyone has nothing to say. So the naming of the hospital was decided. At the same time, the attitude expressed by the royal family is of course seen by more people. Therefore, the Royal Academy's qualification review of Scrooge has become a pure formality. Scott was awarded the honorary title of Fellow of the Royal Society.

Scrooge stayed in England for about half a month, and in addition to going to Hyde Park from time to time to discuss history, science, and current affairs with the great mentor, he also went to Aberdeen to meet another great god, Maxwell. Of course, Maxwell, who was still teaching natural philosophy at Marchar College, had not yet had time to complete his "On Electricity and Magnetism", a great work comparable to Newton's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", and in the field of electromagnetism, which later made him immortal, he only completed "On Faraday's Lines of Force", and Maxwell's equations, which later became the basis of classical electromagnetism, had not yet been formally formed.

Not many people know what Scrooge and Maxwell talked about, but people only know that later, when Maxwell published "On Electricity and Magnetism", he expressed his gratitude to Scrooge in the preface.

It was also during this time that Scrooge received letters from various Carrolls and his partner Rockefeller, and learned of their attack on DuPont. Of course, the statement on the letter is very hidden, and even if it is obtained, it cannot be used as evidence in court.

The Rothschilds also contacted Scrooge, who expressed to them his desire that the Kingdom of Sardinia would accept more Blackwater employees into his army as military advisers, and the Rothschilds, strange giants, agreed to help without any conditions. But Scrooge, who has read the history of the Rothschilds, knows that this is an investment habit of the Rothschilds, and when they feel that a certain person or a certain force has great potential for development, they tend to show great generosity when supporting them, and they are not like Jews. But this qiē is all about reaching a deeper relationship with it, putting a long line and catching big fish.

"Well, in this way, I've become a long-term investment that the Rothschilds think is worth investing in." Scrooge couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Just as Scrooge was about to leave England and go to France, the Rothschilds brought Scrooge a reply from the Kingdom of Sardinia, which agreed to hire at least 300 military advisers to Blackwater. Scrooge immediately wrote to Carroll and Rockefeller, asking them to select and send a military advisory group of 300 men to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

After two years of development, Blackwater now has more than 1,000 employees, most of whom have served in the U.S. military. Sending three hundred military advisers is no longer a particularly difficult thing to do. Although the U.S. Army's Suzhì may not be comparable to the army of a first-class power such as Britain and France at that time, their level is already quite good compared to Italy's comics. Coupled with the new training they received after entering the "Blackwater", Scrooge believed that they would have been able to beat the same number of Englishmen or French as they do now, at least with MacDonald 1857.

The Italian army's failure to fight the war was tested in the original history of World War I and World War II. In World War I, Italy was a soy sauce player, and in World War II, they made a lot of jokes. So much so that there is such a saying, that is: in World War II, the main task of Italy was to be responsible for being funny. Although most of the funny stories about Italians are actually made up and cannot be taken seriously. But compared to the British, Germans, Russians, and even the French, who perished in a few weeks, the Italians were really vulnerable. Therefore, when the American army in World War II had just arrived in North Africa, had not yet adapted to the battlefield, kept making mistakes, and kept losing battles, the mean British gave the American army a nickname: "The Italians on our side." ”

Based on the experience of the Germans in World War II, the best way to improve the combat effectiveness of the tease armies of unreliable client states was to send them a large number of military advisers. The Germans found that if they sent even one German in a platoon of a client state (such as Romania) army, they could immediately raise their combat effectiveness to a higher level, and although their overall combat effectiveness was still not comparable to that of the German army, they could at least be regarded as having the combat effectiveness of a normal army. (Of course, for some of the too bizarre armies, such as those behind the Waffen-SS number 12, no matter what measures are taken, they will not be able to increase their combat effectiveness.)

The 300-man advisory group, according to the ratio of one American for every twenty Italians, was enough to allocate to 6,000 people. And a 6,000-strong, relatively normal unit with MacDonald 1857 rifles is, in many cases, enough to change the tide of battle.

……

At the end of July 1858, a flying clipper ship sent a group of 300 American advisors to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

For the advisers of the "black water" who were shoehorned over by the Rothschilds, the Kingdom of Sardinia was not cold at first. Although, in the history that followed, their various disgraceful appearances in military affairs made it hard to believe that their ancestors were the Romans who once shocked the world. Although if you put the time to more than a hundred years later, they will definitely feel that it is a natural thing to accept the guidance of the Americans, but at this time, these guys are not too clear about how many bowls of rice they can eat, and they always feel that Lao Tzu is a hero. Well, although the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia was beaten to the ground by the Austrians in the last war, they still found a lot of reasons to convince themselves that that defeat was not a crime of war. The reasons for the defeat were complex, ranging from unfavorable weather to the drag of the allies. I don't blame myself anyway. The reasons they found out are basically the same as those summarized by the later Yellow Nazis when they summarized the reasons for the defeat of the German army, and if you look at those Yellow Nazi reasons, you can basically deduce the Sardinian opinion of the last defeat:

The weather was unfavorable and affected the performance of the German army: the weather was too cold in winter, and the German army did not play well; (Battle of Moscow) The weather was too hot in the summer, and it was difficult for the German army to play; The weather (Battle of Kursk) was neither hot nor cold, and could not create an obstacle to the play of the enemy troops. (Battle of Normandy) the sun was too good, the visibility was too high, and it was not conducive to the German concealment; (Battle of El Alamein) The sun was too poor and the visibility was too poor, which was conducive to the concealment of the enemy army. (Battle of Stalingrad)

The geographical conditions were specially used to make trouble with the German army: the road on the eastern front was too bad, which was not conducive to the mobility of the German mechanized troops; The roads on the Western Front were too good to hinder the movement of Allied mechanized troops. The terrain was too complicated, there were too many woodlands, the cities were too three-dimensional, the mountain roads were too rugged (the Battle of Stalingrad), and the German offensive was hindered. The terrain was too flat to create obstacles for the enemy, and (Battle of Kursk, Battle of Falais) led to the defeat of the German army.

Of course, there are also those cheating allies:

The Romanians helped the Germans and annihilated the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad; The Romanians helped the Russian army and caused the German Sixth Army to be wiped out again in Romania. The Italians helped the Germans and caused the Germans to lose North Africa; The Italians helped the Allies, so that an entire German army group was pinned down in the Alps and could not reinforce Normandy......

In Sardinia, there are a large number of people who have similar views, which naturally makes it difficult for the consultants of "Blackwater" to carry out their work. Fortunately, the upper echelons of Sardinia are still sober, and both the king and the prime minister have personally participated in the last war, and they still have a basic idea of how much combat strength their army has. In addition, the advisory group of "Blackwater" gave His Majesty the King a wonderful performance of infantry against cavalry relying on rapid construction of fortifications. The king was very satisfied with the military qualities expressed by the advisers of the "Black Water". So, with his strong support, these advisers were finally assigned.

Major Neville, who was outstanding in the unit's outfit training, has now been unusually promoted to lieutenant colonel. The number of his troops also increased to fifteen hundred. He knew that his previous success was inseparable from the performance of the advisers of "Blackwater", so when other troops used various methods to block those Americans, only the troops under his command gave those "arrogant Americans" full cooperation.
