Chapter 524 Happiness
The First Town City National Defense Force 101 General Hospital.
The 101st General Hospital of the National Defense Force is the medical institution with the most complete medical facilities and personnel in East Africa. The name alone gives you an impression of its power. After all, in the military environment of East Africa, the military is well paid, so a hospital affiliated with the military is naturally reassuring.
In fact, the 101st General Hospital of the Wehrmacht also assumes the functions of a royal hospital. Ernst did not directly set up a royal hospital, just like the East African Defense Force is not called the Royal Army. Of course, the Royal Army also has it, that is, the Royal Guards Division, but nominally it still belongs to the Wehrmacht sequence.
It is worth mentioning that since the reconstruction of the Little Rhine and the opening of the canal, the Royal Guards Division also has its own naval sequence, but it is essentially a river and lake force, and has imported several fairly advanced inland ships from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to serve as a rank.
If the Austro-Hungarian naval capabilities were far behind those of the British Royal Navy, then the situation for its inland forces was the reverse. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had a much larger land area than the United Kingdom and was located in the center of Europe. It had rivers with extremely high shipping value such as the Rhine, Danube, and Leithania, so the demand for inland waters was quite high.
The Danube and the Rhine are both cross-border rivers, and there are many rivers like this in the European Hungarian Empire, so inland navy is naturally indispensable, and it occupies an important position in national defense, and funding is also quite abundant.
The inland ships introduced by East Africa are also at an advanced level internationally. They are used in conjunction with the inland ships built by East Africa itself and the coastal fortifications. In addition, the mouth of the Little Rhine is located at the Port of Bagamoyo, the headquarters of the East African Navy. Therefore, the water force from Bagamoyo to the first town is quite strong and can be described as impregnable.
The 101st General Hospital of the National Defense Force is responsible for the important tasks of the royal family and the military, so naturally it will not let people in easily. Therefore, there is also a First Town City First People's Hospital in the First Town City to serve the "civilians". However, how to define these civilians is a matter of opinion. However, the medical level of the First People's Hospital is not worse than that of the 101st General Hospital of the National Defense Force. It is regarded as the twin stars of East African medical institutions.
As the hospital responsible for providing medical services to the royal family, the 101st General Hospital of the National Defense Force is not open to anyone in the military. However, it bears the name of the National Defense Force, so there are several branches under the general hospital that specifically serve the military.
Today is an important day for the 101st General Hospital of the Defense Forces. In addition to the personal presence of Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess and their families, an important experimental result will be carried out at the 101st General Hospital of the Defense Forces, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also paying close attention to it.
On the third floor of the hospital, Ernst and his family of three were waiting for the little prince's medical examination report in the service room reserved specifically for the Hechingen royal family.
"Look at this little guy, he must have inherited your beauty, he is so cute!" Ernst teased while hugging the sleepy Prince Friedrich.
Karina said shyly, "I didn't expect you to be so smooth-talking."
Women are used to being praised. Although Karina expressed disdain, the corners of her mouth were actually harder to suppress than a Kalashnikov rifle.
This made Ernst feel very novel. Karina had been with Queen Mother Sophie since she was a child, so she had a more serious personality. When she first arrived in East Africa, she actually smiled fake smiles most of the time. According to Karina, that was aristocratic demeanor.
At first, Ernst was not quite used to it. After all, the person was close to him. Although Constantine was a great nobleman, he only had Ernst as his son, so he doted on him and did not demand much from him. Therefore, since Ernst awakened, he was still as free and easy as in his previous life.
Seeing Ernst staring at her, Karina blushed and said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
"No, I just think you're cute because of your lively look." Ernst learned how to coax his wife without any instruction after marriage.
"So skilled, have you said this to other girls before?"
"No way, don't you understand me? I'm so busy every day, how can I have the time to spare?"
When it comes to being busy, Karina understands her husband. After all, such a large family business in East Africa was mainly created by Ernst himself.
In the past, Ernst was known as the founding monarch, but Ernst had no pursuit for this kind of fame and would rather let his old father be happy.
"You've been busy with the water conservancy construction recently. Aren't you too tired?" Karina said with some concern.
Although it was a political marriage, Ernst and Karina had already met each other and they were willing to marry each other, so their married life was still very happy and they quickly developed feelings for each other.
"I do pay more attention to water conservancy construction. After all, no country can avoid this problem, especially agricultural countries. But don't worry, after a while, when the people below are on the right track, I won't have to keep an eye on it every day."
Ernst was telling the truth. In his previous life, he was a civil engineer in Africa, so he had a lot of experience in engineering construction. He was no stranger to East Africa's urban construction, roads, bridges, water conservancy and other infrastructure. This could be said to be the area that Ernst was best at.
It was also because Ernst had been on business trips to Africa for a long time in his previous life that he was well aware of the situation in Africa and played a huge role in the development of East Africa.
Projects in East Africa all attach great importance to quality, which is similar to the Soviet Union. After all, East Africa also has a planned economic system.
With Ernst, a civil engineer, he is even more attentive to the engineering construction in East Africa. Many of them are long-term plans for East Africa in the future, so they are kept a close eye on.
Ernst looked at his worried wife and said, "When I have some free time, we will give Friedrich a few more brothers and sisters."
Karina, who was concerned about Ernst just now, suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Ah! Why is it related to me again?"
Ernst felt distressed. He took out one hand and held Karina's, explaining, "I know this is a bit embarrassing, but this is our responsibility. Hei Xingen has been the only child of the three generations, so I don't want such a big family business in East Africa to be passed on to others in the future."
Karina was not averse to having children, it was just a little sudden. However, she also thought that what Ernst said made sense. East Africa has definitely developed into a great country now, and of course it would be better to pass it on to her descendants.
She said shyly, "I'll listen to you."
Ernst looked at his considerate wife, put poor Friedrich aside, hugged his wife sweetly, and felt extremely grateful for the education given by Queen Mother Sophie. As for independent women, Ernst didn't like them very much. If they were all independent, it would be too calculating. Someone always had to compromise in the family's feelings. After all, feelings are mutual. Being petty will only lead to misfortune. Franz and Princess Sissi are examples of this.
Ernst and Karina are both relatively traditional people, so they get along well with each other, which is the same as Karina's parents. However, Karina's parents are both quite hardworking. Now both of them have settled down, so they are still living a happy life. The word happiness is the most difficult to find for aristocratic families.
Karina's mother, Princess Charlotte, is a love-brained person. Although she is a little vain, her love for Archduke Ferdinand is unwavering. Although Archduke Ferdinand was a little indecisive when he was young, he has a strong sense of responsibility, is dedicated to his work, and respects Princess Charlotte very much.
As for Constantine, he is definitely a devoted man. He raised his son alone and never remarried. Now he is devoted to helping his son build East Africa. Ernst is also a filial person, and the relationship between father and son is harmonious.
So although the Ernst family has a prominent status, they are actually not much different from ordinary families. Ernst enjoys this family atmosphere.
