Chapter 246 You Dedicated to the One Who Defeated You
The spring breeze is blowing again, the clouds in the sky are a little more, and the swallows are flying lower and lower.

In the pavilion, Eugene drank some tea to moisten his throat after thanking Mary, calmed down, and changed the subject: "I am very interested in the military geography theory proposed by Staff Officer Helmut, but I have some disagreements. I think he definitely didn’t publish all the theories, and he may have deliberately disclosed wrong content in some places. So I want to discuss it with him.”

Frederick nodded slightly. What Helmut published in the military edition of "Wessen Daily" is indeed just a summary, and some places are inconsistent. If it is a person with a level, it can be seen that from this In a sense, Eugene is qualified.

He asked Eugene: "So, you came to join our army because you were disappointed by the friendly army in that war?"

"Yeah." Eugene sighed, "There is something that has not been made public."

"At that time, the bastard commander-in-chief was the fastest runner. As soon as he returned to the country, he went to His Majesty Louis and said that I had colluded with the enemy, because he heard that I was dead and concluded that I would not survive the war."

"At that time, my mother was giving piano lessons to His Majesty the Crown Prince in the palace. When she heard about this, she broke off a piano leg and rushed over to beat him to the point of bleeding in front of His Majesty. She scolded him while beating... Uh ...maybe not very nice."

Mary covered her mouth with a folding fan and smiled and said to Frederick: "I heard that Eugene's mother asked while beating, did you see that William was dying and going to the Rhine Union to inherit the throne."

At the beginning, William put the blame on Frederick's father, but Frederick beat his lackey to death, expanded his territory, and promoted him to a title. This became a joke.

Eugene picked up his teacup and sipped tea to cover it up, and Mary laughed so hard that she touched Frederick's shoulder.

After Mary stopped laughing, Eugene went on to say: "At that time, my mother assured His Majesty that I had not colluded with the enemy, otherwise she would be hanged in front of the palace. In the end, it was Armand, the mage group and other officers who returned to testify to me, That’s why I didn’t suffer innocent injustice.”

"It's just that the status of that bastard's family is not lower than my family's. The last substantive punishment is still my superior in the army, and the others who escaped are still officers. At that time, I thought it was very boring, so I quit the army and thought about it. Then I decided to join you."

Frederick was silent for a while after hearing this, which made Eugene a little worried that he would reject him.

"I welcome you, but whether you will join the Wessen Army in the end will be decided after you listen to what I have to say." Frederick said suddenly.

Frederick's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "I participated in that war. Of course, I was with the Kingdom of Lisenberg."

"What?!" ×2
Not only Eugene, but even Mary looked at Frederick in surprise.

From the beginning to the end of this war, there was no shadow of Wessen State, and the two places were far away, but Frederick said that he participated in it, which made people puzzled.

Eugene thought about it for a while, suddenly realized, and murmured: "So, no wonder we lost, you know every move of our port, as long as you tell the Lisenberg people, they will be invincible .”

Frederick nodded slightly, and then asked him, "Are you still willing to join us?"

Eugene hesitated and said, "Yes, yes, but are you willing to trust me? Are you afraid that I will leak your information?"

Frederick said disdainfully: "I have nothing to be afraid of. It's okay if I open it up for others to see. Before you learn from me, you must first learn not to embezzle military rations."

Mary covered her mouth with a feather fan and joked with a smile: "The Gallic army is full of onions, and the pot is invincible."

Eugene reluctantly echoed the joke with a wry smile, took a sip of tea, adjusted his mood, and said to Frederick seriously: "I am still willing to join your army, because my thoughts coincide with yours. , I want everyone to know that such an army is a truly powerful army!"

Frederick extended his right hand to him and said solemnly: "You are welcome to join, I believe this is a place where your ideas can be sublimated and become a reality."

"My army will pass by here in a few days. You will serve as a trainee staff officer first, and you will act together with the staff department. You have the right to make suggestions during the war. Can you convince the staff officer, deputy commander, Prince Dragases and me to adopt you? The suggestion depends on your ability."

Eugene shook hands with Frederick excitedly. He didn't expect that he would be able to enter the center as soon as he joined. This is a very high starting point.

But Frederick smiled and poured cold water on him: "However, you are not an officer yet, but an ordinary soldier. In the Wesson Army, you belong to the 'replacing an officer with a soldier', but the salary and treatment are the same as that of an officer. After the war, you have to go to a military academy. .”

Eugene froze for a moment, then said: "It's okay, it should be."

Only then did Frederick say to him: "The ship of the general staff passed the city of Wien on the fourth day. You can board the ship at that time and report to Chief of Staff Helmut. He will arrange the specific work."

"By the way, Lisenberg's army's plan to attack you last year was mainly formulated by him. The original plan was to surround you in the port and capture all the prisoners. We could get half of the ransom, but the last step didn't work because you delayed the time. goal achieved."

Eugene opened his mouth in surprise, a little flustered in his heart, will he be beaten then?

After the employment was settled, Frederick asked his servant to grill kebabs next to him, and everyone chatted while eating, chatting with Eugene about the customs of his house, and asking about the recent situation of Armand and Françoise.

Eugene found an excuse to slip away when he saw that it was raining after eating the barbecue.

He rented a hotel in Wayne City, and it would not be a problem to stay for a few more days, but it would be a big problem if some rumors spread here.

The spring rain fell quickly, and Mary asked the servants to clean up the pavilion and all left.

"I can't understand something." She sat on Frederick's lap and asked, "Why do you want to help the Kingdom of Lisenberg and offend the Kingdom of Gaul so seriously, and still say it?"

Frederick just hugged her gently, without touching her hands, and said a little tiredly: "The year before last, King William's health was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't move his whole body. His last decree was to seek help from the Kingdom of Gaul. A princess married Rudolph. The Kingdom of Gaul immediately agreed, and the woman is a niece of their king. The wedding is next year."

Mary heard what he meant, and how tired he was.

"Thank you." Mary gently kissed Frederick's forehead.

Frederick smiled and asked her, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Mary reached out and pinched his face, and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate me."
