Thus ended the lecture at Cambridge. On the second day of Scrooge’s trip to Cambridge, Prince Albert, as the chancellor of Cambridge, announced that he would build a new hospital in Cambridge concerning Mr. Scrooge McDonald’s speech in Cambridge. The Prince expressed the hope that through the medical practice of this hospital, a standard could be set for hospitals in the whole of Europe and even the whole world. Some scholars proposed that to express their gratitude to the Prince for this kind act, they hoped to name the hospital affiliated with Cambridge University "Prince Albert Hospital". The humble His Royal Highness said that he had not made any real contribution to this hospital that would stand out in the annals of history, so he humbly rejected the proposal, and made a counter-proposal, which was proposed based on the established standards of this hospital. The hospital was named after Scrooge McDonald. Of course, Scrooge did not dare to compete with His Royal Highness for such a naming right, at least for the time being, where the actual profit cannot be seen, so he also expressed his refusal. In the end, it is said that Her Majesty the Queen made a compromise. She suggested that the hospital be named "Scrooge Albert Hospital" in the way of "using your name and my surname". alright.

Now that the Holy Judgment is down, of course, everyone has nothing to say. So the naming of the hospital was settled. At the same time, the attitude expressed by the royal family through this matter is of course seen by more people. Therefore, the Royal Academy of Sciences qualification review of Scrooge has become a pure formality. Scrooge successfully won the honorary title of Fellow of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

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

Not many people know what Scrooge and Maxwell talked about. People only know that 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 Carroll and partner Rockefeller, learning of their attack on DuPont. Of course, the statement in the letter is very hidden, even if it is obtained by others, it is impossible to use it as evidence in court.

People from the Rothschild family also contacted Scrooge, and Scrooge expressed his hope that the Kingdom of Sardinia would accept more employees of the "Blackwater" company into his army as military advisors, and Ross The Childe family were strange giants who agreed to help without asking any questions. But Scrooge, who has read the history of the Rothschild family, knows that this is an investment habit of the Rothschild family. When they feel that a certain person or a certain force has great development potential, they will often support them He was very generous when he was a child, not like a Jew. But it's all about reaching a deeper relationship with it, putting the long line, and catching big fish.

"Well, from this point of view, I have become the object that the Rothschild family thinks is worthy of long-term investment." Scrooge felt a little smug.

Just when Scrooge was planning to leave England and go to France, the Rothschild family brought Scrooge a reply from the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Kingdom of Sardinia agreed to hire at least 300 military advisors from "Blackwater". So Scrooge immediately wrote to Carroll and Rockefeller, asking them to select and send a military advisory group of 300 people to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

After two years of development, Blackwater now has more than a thousand employees, most of whom have served in the US military. It is not particularly difficult to send 300 military advisers. Although the quality of the U.S. Army may not be comparable to the army of a first-class power like Britain and France at the time, their level is already quite good compared to Italy's funny comparison. Coupled with the new training they received after entering the "Black Water", Scrooge believes that at least with the MacDonald 1857, they have been able to beat the same number of British or French Fuck the shit.

The Italian army's inability to fight wars has been tested in World War I and World War II in its original history. In World War I, Italy was simply a soy saucer, 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, Italy's main task was to be responsible for making fun. Although most of the various funny stories about the Italians are fabricated, they cannot be taken as real. But compared to the British, Germans, Russians, and even the French who died in a few weeks, the Italians are vulnerable. Therefore, when the U.S. military 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 U.S. military a nickname, called: "Italians on our side. "

According to the experience of the Germans in World War II, the best way to improve the combat effectiveness of those unreliable vassal troops is to send a large number of military advisers to them. The Germans found that if even one German was sent to the squadron of a slave country (such as Romania), their combat effectiveness could immediately rise to a higher level. Although their overall combat effectiveness was still inferior to that of the German army, At least can be regarded as having the combat effectiveness of a normal army. (Of course, for some too-weird armies, such as those after the number 12 of the Waffen-SS, no matter what measures are taken, there is no way to improve their combat effectiveness)

The advisory group of 300 people, according to the ratio of inserting one American for every 20 Italians, is enough to distribute to 6,000 people. And a 6,000-strong, relatively normal unit using the MacDonald 1857 rifle is enough to change the situation of the battle in many cases.

...

At the end of July 1858, a clipper sailing ship sent an American advisory group of 300 people to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The Kingdom of Sardinia did not take a fancy to the consultants of the "Black Water" forced by the Rothschild family at first. Although, in subsequent history, their various embarrassing performances in the military make it difficult for people to believe that their ancestors were the Romans who once shocked the world. Although if you put the time in more than a hundred years, they will feel that accepting the guidance of the Americans is a matter of course, at this time, these guys are not very clear about how many bowls of rice they can eat, and they always feel I am a hero and a hero since our ancestors are so good, then we must be top-notch in war. Well, although in the last war, the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia was beaten to pieces by the Austrians, they still found a lot of reasons to convince themselves that the failure was not a crime of war. The reasons for the defeat were complex, including the unfavorable weather and the delay of the allies. Anyway, I don't blame myself. The reasons they found are the same as the reasons that the yellow-skinned Nazis of later generations summed up when they summed up the reasons for the defeat of the German army. Looking at the reasons for Huang Nad, you can infer the Sardinians’ views on the last defeat :

The unfavorable weather affected the performance of the German army: the weather was too cold in winter, which caused the German army to perform poorly; (the Battle of Moscow) the weather was too hot in summer, which made it difficult for the German army to perform; (the Battle of Kursk) the weather was neither cold nor hot, which could not give the enemy impediments to performance. (The Battle of Normandy) The sun was too good and the visibility was too high, which was not conducive to the concealment of the German army; (The Battle of Alamein) the sunshine was too poor and the visibility was too poor, which was conducive to the concealment of the enemy. (Battle of Stalingrad)

Geographical conditions were specifically designed to cause trouble for the German army: the roads on the eastern front were 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 the Allied mechanized troops. The terrain is too complex, with too much woodland, (the Battle of Leningrad) the city is too three-dimensional, (the Battle of Stalingrad) the mountain roads are too rugged, and (the Battle of the Caucasus) all hindered the German offensive. The terrain was too flat to be an obstacle to the enemy, (Battle of Kursk, Battle of Falaise) which led to the defeat of the German army.

Of course, those cheating allies are indispensable:

The Romanians helped the German army, which caused the German Sixth Army to be destroyed in Stalingrad; the Romanians helped the Russian army, which caused the German Sixth Army to be destroyed again in Romania. The Italians helped the German army, causing the Germans to lose North Africa; the Italians helped the Allied forces, causing the entire German army group to be pinned down in the Alps, unable to reinforce Normandy...

In Sardinia, a large number of people 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. Both the king and the prime minister personally participated in the last war, and they knew the combat effectiveness of their army. Coupled with the "Blackwater" advisory group, His Majesty the King performed a wonderful performance of infantry relying on the rapid construction of fortifications against cavalry. The king was very pleased with the military qualities displayed by the advisers of the Blackwater. Therefore, with his strong support, these consultants were assigned anyway.

Major Neville, because of his outstanding performance in the training of the troops, has now been exceptionally promoted to lieutenant colonel. The number of his army also increased to fifteen hundred men. He knew that his previous success was inseparable from the performance of the "Blackwater" advisers, so when other troops used various methods to block those Americans, only the troops under his command gave those "arrogant" Americans” fully cooperate.
