As soon as the hatch was opened, the smell of pickled salted pig's feet came to my face, which, combined with a strange, disgusting smell, stunned a musician who had a good relationship with Friedrich on the spot.

Friedrich, however, did not determine, he raised his head and walked in against the stench, but as soon as he entered the door, his feet slipped, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a pool of unidentified vomit, which was still dripping down because of the heat and humidity in the cabin.

Friedrich himself picked up the mop and cleaned up the vomit, which of course was done for the officers.

The officers also understood, and immediately took clean water and cleaning tools, and prepared to clean the cabin.

The sailors slept in the hammocks, the dense hammocks were like cobwebs, and when the sailors heard that the commander was coming, they immediately turned over and got out of the hammocks, and many of them had no clothes on, so they could only temporarily cover them with rice bowls and other things.

Almost all of them smelled of foul odors, and one of the sailors reported that he couldn't hold back his thoughts.

Friedrich, of course, had no reason to refuse, but he saw that the sailors actually ran towards the bow of the ship.

Puzzled, he asked, "How did he get to the bow?" Isn't the toilet in the stern of the ship? ”

Actually, Friedrich had special toilets and special toilets.

At this time, an officer reminded.

"The soldiers' toilets are at the bow of the ship, and the officers' toilets are at the stern."

Friedrich thought that it was too unhygienic to be in the bow of the ship, and he felt that he had to check it out.

In fact, the soldiers' toilets have always been in the bow of the ship, because this is the easiest place to clean the whole ship, after all, there are waves on the sea, with a flushing function, and you don't have to press the button hard, but the specific flushing time depends on the mood of nature.

There is also a battleship of this era, called a sail battleship, which, as the name suggests, depends on the wind, so although it is in the bow of the ship, it is downwind, and it will not blow those strange smells back on the faces of the crew.

This was the first time Friedrich knew that the platform under the bow of the ship was doing this.

After seeing the living conditions of the crew, Friedrich made the bold decision to follow his father and eldest brother's example.

Friedrich's father, Archduke Karl, commander of the Austrian Empire, was the first man to put an end to the myth of Napoleon's undefeated.

Friedrich's eldest brother, Archduke Albrecht, a hero in the two Italian wars in history and the last famous general of the Austrian Empire, was hailed as the future of the Austrian Imperial Army at this time.

They all ate and lived with the soldiers, because Archduke Karl once said that the only way to know the fighting power of the soldiers is to eat their food, wear their clothes, and live in their rooms.

So Friedrich hung a hammock on the deck to experience what it was like for the crew, and although he was too exposed to the sun, he was determined not to rest in the cabin, which was so smelly.

However, soon the wind and waves taught him a lesson, in the past the Austrian navy's range of action was only in the Adriatic Bay, although there were wind and waves, but compared with the wind and waves in the Atlantic, it was simply playing at home, a big wave came and almost knocked Friedrich off the ship, just now it was still sunny, and in the blink of an eye it would rain rain.

What really made him desperate was the food, the crew couldn't afford to make a small stove, they ate some moldy bread, and stinky beef, and yogurt that didn't know what it was stuck to.

The most terrible thing was the constant oatmeal every day, which in the eyes of the aristocracy was actually horse fodder, and the ship's doctor had to constantly ask Archduke Friedrich to do an examination in order to bring him some "real" food.

In the end, Friedrich was no stranger to the occasional rat droppings found in oatmeal and the half-cut maggots found in moldy bread.

Of course, if you think that's all there is to it, you're wrong.

The water on the ship was even more terrifying, the water that Friedrich drank before was distilled and filtered by a special device, then precipitated by a special device, and then added with sugar, lemon and a little tea leaves, and then usually used to make tea or coffee.

The crew's drinking water, which is usually stored in large wooden barrels, inevitably gets bacteria every time it is taken, and the water usually stinks within fifteen to twenty days, at which point the crew often considers replacing drinking water with beer.

When the beer ran out, the rum that the seafarers carried with them came in.

This thing is an artifact that can cure scurvy, but it also has a special task at this time, which is to purify the water source.

After all, after a month of water in those barrels, they are already filled with all kinds of microorganisms, and even the entire barrel may be covered with green moss.

As for the water quality inside, refer to the fish tank that has not changed the water for a month.

That kind of flavorful, sticky and smooth texture is not acceptable to ordinary people.

Adding some rum can not only kill bacteria, but also mask the smell, and also prevent scurvy, which is perfect.

This is also why, the sailors of this era always look dizzy, and almost no one is not an alcoholic.

At this time, one of the classic images of the sailor was that of a tall man, slow in his movements, always looking very melancholy, wearing a blue-collared white shirt, a greasy and dirty scarf tied around his neck, rough hands, scarred face, and a bottle of rum in his hand, which ran down his beard and did not care.

The most unfortunate thing for Friedrich was that once he was toilet at the bow of the ship, and just as a wave came by, throwing the unlucky boy into the arms of the sea.

When the crew saw Archduke Friedrich falling into the water, they threw a cable to rescue him, but Archduke Friedrich refused to hold on to the rope.

So a large group of officers jumped into the sea to save the hapless Grand Duke, only to find that the Grand Duke's trousers had been washed away by the sea, and for the sake of the Grand Duke's face, he had to claim that the Grand Duke was just swimming, and then found a flag to wrap the Grand Duke's lower body before returning to the ship.

Of course, Friedrich would not have said all these words to Franz in person, after all, Talia was also there.

In front of a woman, a man can't lose face if he loses anything, this is a matter of principle.

Vienna, Royal Gardens.

Franz observed three seconds of silence for Friedrich's misfortune.

"Now, have you learned the importance of steam warships? If you use a steam battleship this time, the range will be much less, and you won't have to suffer so much. By the way, do those soldiers now treat you as one of their own? ”

Franz asked, only to hear Friedrich's "wow" and cry again.

"They called me a fool."

Adjani unfolded the fan in her hand to block her smiling face, so as not to hurt the self-esteem of Archduke Friedrich.

Talia also followed Adjani's example, but her movements were not very elegant.

At this time, Friedrich also saw Adjani, and he had only one thought in his heart, Madame Sophie was really good to Franz.

Because a certain book friend always talked to me privately and asked me to write a tasteful article, so I wrote a flavorful chapter.
