Before leaving for Frankfurt, Wilhelm went to the Royal Guard barracks on the outskirts of Potsdam, which served as the last line of defense against the Hohenzollerns, the most proud of Prussia.
In all wars, this army has been unanimously praised by European countries for its fearless combat posture.
As the head of the royal guard, Buel also accompanied William, and when he came to the barracks to see the high-spirited soldiers, William's interest also rose.
"Your Majesty, this is the garrison of the Third Cavalry Regiment of the Guards, the Third Cavalry Regiment is the strongest cavalry regiment in Prussia, and every soldier there is composed of the strongest of our cavalry in all parts of the country!"
Although there was still a distance, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves and the loud shouts of killing still reached the ears of William and his party, and looking at the direction from which the sound came, Buel also proudly introduced William.
The position of head of the royal family has always been held by the person most trusted by the king, because in addition to the royal palace and the royal intelligence agencies throughout the country, the royal guard is also in charge of the royal guard.
In this way, the status of important positions in the country can be imagined, and Bouel has been able to stay in this position for nearly 20 years, which naturally has his own uniqueness, for example, Bouel's ability to do everything is extremely rare.
"Well, let's go, let's see!"
Saying that, William walked towards the garrison of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment not far away, although the Guards were the last line of defense to protect the royal family and the existence of the King's personal guards, but this did not mean that every soldier of the Guards knew William, just like the current one.
"Stop, who are you!
This is the home of the 3rd Guards Cavalry Regiment, so show your ID!
” Before William and the others approached the gate of the barracks, a junior officer like a captain shouted, and as his words landed, I saw more than a dozen soldiers guarding the gate immediately raise their weapons and aim at William and the others.
Seeing these soldiers so reckless.
Buel was so shocked that he hurriedly shouted: "All lay down your arms for me, I'm Buel, let your regimental commander come to see me!"
While speaking, Bouel also secretly glanced at William, only to see that William had a black line hanging on his head because of the soldier's words, and this black line seemed to Bouel that William's face was blue and in a bad mood.
Buel's heart was even more flustered.
"I'm sorry, please show your identification, otherwise I won't convey your order to our regimental commander, and please leave here immediately, otherwise I will suspect you of being a spy and detain you!"
Hearing this, even Buel, who has always maintained an aristocratic demeanor in case of trouble, became out of shape.
Are you kidding.
Now that William Ke was behind him, it would not be a small problem to let these reckless soldiers ram the holy car, thinking of this, he raised his voice again and shouted: "Let your Ulavi Captain come to me immediately, or the consequences will not be something you can afford!"
The always good-natured Bouel also had to threaten at this time, but his words did not play any role among these creeps.
I saw that the dozen or so soldiers were still unmoving, and even the junior officer directly ordered to reload the ammunition.
Nima, seeing the movements of these soldiers, Buel's heart is not calm at all, this Ulawi is going to cheat his father!
No, it would certainly be inappropriate to call him a father, because Buel didn't have anything more than a friendship with the captain's mother, but there was no doubt about the boss.
William looked coldly at the scene that was happening in front of him.
He did not rebuke Buel for the soldiers who stopped him, but instead watched with interest the movements of the dozen or so soldiers.
I saw that under the officer's order, about seven of the soldiers took a step back to load the ammunition, while the other few people looked at William and his party with fierce eyes, and it was only thirty seconds, the soldiers who loaded the ammunition had completed the task, and now the people who were on guard took a step back to load the ammunition.
This happened in a very short period of time.
From this point of view, the training of these soldiers in peacetime was also extremely rigorous, because although Frederick 1790 was already equipped in the royal guard, only three regiments were equipped because of the production problem.
And the cavalry regiment of the present era because of the performance problems of muskets.
Most cavalry in battle tend to fire a round of fire after the charge begins, then drop their guns and quickly pick up their sabers to attack.
In this way, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment as a cavalry regiment must have been the last to equip Frederick 1790, after all, William had always believed that good steel should be used on the blade.
Loading ammunition from old-fashioned smoothbore guns is very cumbersome, and often only a small number of elite soldiers can reload ammunition in 30 seconds, and the general reloading time is about 50 seconds.
As a cavalry unit, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment was able to complete the loading in such a short period of time, which shows that the training in peacetime is also extremely good.
Thinking of this, William couldn't help nodding, and this small action naturally did not miss Buel's eyes, when he saw that William was not angry because of the rudeness of these soldiers, Buel's heart suddenly relaxed, and at the same time there was a trace of happiness.
But even so, for the culprit who caused his fear, Buel was eager to slap the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment in front of him at this moment.
"Please leave, or I will take action on suspicion that you are the enemy spies!"
After seeing his men reloaded, the petty officer shouted again at William and his men, and this time he raised his saber.
Seeing this, Bouel immediately stood in front of William, and then handed the nameplate he was carrying with him to his attendant, and asked the attendant to send it to the officer.
The nameplate is William's innovation, and as William who has traveled back from the afterlife, he naturally knows the importance of the nameplate to a soldier.
Of course, in China, soldiers do not carry nameplates, of course, China also has the same thing as nameplates to record the basic information of soldiers, that is, military uniforms, in the inner side of the military uniforms of the Celestial Empire, there is a special form for writing soldier information, which is printed on the military uniform, the main content is name, blood type, unit, etc., the jacket is printed on the upper left part, which is about the position of the heart, and the pants are also printed on the upper left part of the left pocket.
Of course, the nameplate was not equipped for everyone, only the Prussian servicemen, and this was mainly for the statistical problem after the death of the soldiers.
In later generations, the nameplate was invented by the Americans in 1916, during the First World War, and the United States, as the Entente camp, because it was often unable to effectively identify the identity of the fallen soldiers after the battle, invented the nameplate, and then the nameplate was popular throughout Europe.
In William's view, every soldier who fights for the country is a hero of the country, whether the hero is alive or dead, he is a hero of the country.
The appearance of the nameplate can allow the dead soldiers to be properly handled, and the nameplate can also be very effective in dealing with the pension of the fallen soldiers.

The reason why the Chinese method is not adopted is that although the nameplate consumes steel and metal, it is not easy to destroy in war, and artillery fire can directly burn clothes but cannot directly destroy the nameplate made of steel.
Secondly, nameplates can be sent to the families of soldiers after they have been killed, which can serve as a comforting effect.
It is precisely because of this benefit that William vigorously promoted the production and use of nameplates four years ago, and William's order was also supported by all the military high-ranking officials, after all, no one wants to become a lonely ghost after his death, and there is not even a priest to pray for himself.
Of course, it was with the support of the huge Prussian military aristocracy that William's request could be passed in the government, after all, there were nearly 200,000 military personnel in Prussia, and the nameplates of so many people consumed not a little bit of resources.
Although the position of the head of the royal family is civilian, it stands to reason that there is no need to handle the nameplate, but because Buel controls the royal guard, he is also equipped with a nameplate.
When the officer guarding the barracks gate saw Bouel's nameplate, the first thing he noticed was the name and title on the plate.
I rub!
This is how the officer felt at first glance when he saw the name plate of Bouel, because in the title column, Bouel's title is duke!
The Prussian nameplate was not as detailed as later generations, and on the nameplate was first the place of origin, then the name, the title, and finally the position.
After just one glance, the officer was a little afraid to look down, he forced himself to calm down, ordered the soldiers to be on guard, and then ran towards the barracks.
Seeing the officer's movements, William's face was a little dumbfounded "Your Majesty, these are all ministers who are not disciplined effectively, and we will definitely punish Ulawi and these soldiers severely in the future!"
"Well, Buel, we are not outsiders, my mood is not as bad as you think, on the contrary, I am a little happy, because the actions of these soldiers and their behavior are very satisfactory to me, and the barracks should be like this!
Besides, we didn't notify the 3rd Cavalry Regiment when we came out this time, so it can also be said that those who don't know are not guilty!
” A smile appeared on William's face as he spoke, and at this moment he thought of an allusion, that is, the fine willow camp of Zhou Yafu in the Han Dynasty, isn't that story the same as the current situation!
Just after William smiled and said a word to Buel, he saw a group of cavalry suddenly rush out of the barracks, and the one at the head, Buel recognized, was the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, Ulawi.
