In the last book, it was said that in addition to Martha, several cute loli were also interested in Divacvich.

As a result, it was not the case when asked.

After the three cute loli here asked, the old war **** over there was almost talking with his niece.

He came over, found Schmidt, and asked again:

"Schmidt, what do you think of this Divacwich?"

After all, the uncle left the title to old Carl, but not to his own niece, and this niece, that is, old Carl's cousin at Duke Cheshen's house, is the child of Martha. Of course he will be responsible, then Can't be careless.

Schmidt straightened his back and answered solemnly:

"Uncle Karl, Divacvich, is still good. Although his current title is a little lower, he is only in his early 20s. I'm not as good as him at that age."

"Then take the time to ask and see what he means."

The old warlord saw that Schmidt was a little hesitant, so he softened his tone a little, and said again:

"I know what you mean, Schmidt, it depends on how well the two of them get along? But no matter what, ask Divacvich first. If he wants to, it's better to continue with it. try."

Schmidt was afraid of this. Since the old military **** understood this, it was not a problem. He hastily replied:

"Okay, I'll go over tonight to find out what he means."

When the old military **** saw Archduke John coming over, he knew something was wrong and said:

"It's not in such a hurry, Schmidt. You can accompany Maria first and follow your original plan."

"John, let's go, the two of you have a circle."

Karl turned to Johan, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the Danube.

"Brother Carl, we didn't see you when you were in Graz last time. We only met you this time through Maria's place. The traffic is still inconvenient."

Archduke John accompanied his elder brother Carl, and walked downstream along the Danube River, slowly passed the Princess Teachers College, and came to the factory area.

"Isn't the construction of the railway from Marburg to Novi Sad started? In the future, railways in other places will be built one after another, and it will be convenient for us to meet, and we will meet less frequently."

Old Carl looked at the slide rails of the machinery factory in the industrial area and said.

"Brother Carl, look at what you said. You are only 70 years old. You want to visit the King of Hell, but the King of Hell doesn't have time to receive you. He drove you out with a stick before you entered the gate."

John also looked at the rails and said to old Carl:

"Brother Carl, the reason why we were able to build this railway this time is that Maria and little Carl paid 10% of the cost. Otherwise, they would not be able to compete for other places."

Old Carl looked up at the fortress on the other side of the river. It was majestic and majestic, with a look of "You can beat me, you can be exhausted by hitting me." He turned his head and said to John:

"I think they are very obsessed with railways. Little Carl said that in this area centered on Novi Sad, they have to build their own railways and wait a few years for the empire to buy them back."

Archduke John also followed Old Karl to look at the opposite fortress group, which was much larger than when he inspected it a few years ago, and the forts and fortresses were also much denser.

"Little Carl is small, but he sees it very clearly. Now the empire has to build railways everywhere, but he can't sprinkle pepper noodles, and he has to pay attention to key areas."

"Novi Sad, from the perspective of the empire, is definitely not a priority area for construction, so they have to start the construction themselves."

Old Carl walked up to a big tree and patted the tree vigorously. He didn't know if he learned from Fan Wei, the medicine box in "Liu Laogen".

"The most important thing is that he wants to isolate Budapest and several cities around Budapest. In Carl's little head, Budapest and Milan and Venice are the key points within the empire."

John looked at the big tree, under the beat of old Carl, he didn't move. The big tree seems to be saying, I can't even blow the wind from the south, east, north and west, not to mention you old man.

"Yes, little Carl told me this too. No wonder you said he was a little genius."

Old Carl looked at John with joy, like a child who had not grown up, an old child in his 50s.

But 50 years ago, it seems that the time is not far away. With his eyes closed, John was a child, similar to the current little Carl.

He reached out to rub John's head. John, an old man, quickly bent down and let old Karl touch it.

Carl burst into tears:

"John, time flies by so fast. It seems like yesterday in Florence. We played carefree and laughed happily."

"Brother Carl, I remember that at that time, we were divided into two groups to fight. One group followed Brother Franz, and the other group followed you. Brother Franz, alas, has been gone for 6 years."

"Ah? Big brother has been gone for 6 years..."

Old Karl was in a trance for a while, that imperial brother, who has been gone for 6 years, alas, the love of his life, Maria Ludvica, who has been gone for 25 years, that Napoleon, who is also a teacher and a friend and an opponent, also left for 20 years. years.

Old Karl stared at the rolling water of the Danube and said in a low voice:

"Our old Ha family also had a lot of troubles. In the generation of Teresa the Great, when we met Frederick II of Prussia, if it wasn't for the high level of my grandmother, the Holy Roman Empire might have been lost at that time. Fortunately, with my grandmother and the emperor Uncle, we rushed over."

John was taken by his brother, and he felt a little lonely. He hugged his brother, patted his back, and hugged him tightly before letting go.

John let go of his brother and also stared at the river, and then said the topic of his brother:

"Yeah, it's a pity that we just had a few days of stability when we encountered the French Revolution, encountered Napoleon, and became neighbors with such a strong man. The old Ha family really suffered."

He paused for a while, turned his head, faced old Carl, and continued:

"It's fortunate that we have you, brother Carl, otherwise we might not even be able to keep the Austrian Empire."

He was referring to the fact that the Holy Roman Empire was not saved. Under the deterrence of the old Karl, Napoleon did not dare to shake off his shoulders. Therefore, it can be said that Karl saved the Austrian Empire.

Old Carl didn't wave his hand, no longer modestly saying no, no, no, no, he said very distressed:

"When it comes to Ferdinand's generation, Ferdinand and Franz, neither of these brothers can do it. Sigh, if I hadn't looked at the next generation, these three brothers are not bad, I would be worried to death."

John smiled and said:

"It shows that our old Ha family has come and gone, and we are destined to return to the top of Europe."

"Well, little Carl is quite outstanding, and his two older brothers are also good. Well, your little Leopold is also good. I heard from Maria that he is very interested in the navy?"

Old Carl patted his younger brother on the back, not rubbing his head like he did just now.

"Yes, he is more interested in the navy. Leopold, that is, after meeting you last time, he started to shine. Before, he knew that he would quarrel and fight with his younger siblings."

Speaking of Leopold, John's eyes lit up, as if a dusty gem had been wiped with a rag.

"Old Ha's family used to be concerned about the army, and there should be a few concerned about the navy. After all, Britain relies on the navy to overwhelm the entire European continent. This also shows that the navy still has something to do."

Because thinking that the next generation will be good, old Carl also swept away his dull mood and turned his eyes back to his younger brother.

"I think Max seems to be more interested in the navy, and he should train him well. In the future, whoever can do better will lead the navy."

When Carl said this, he paused for a while, then suddenly laughed:

"My children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren. I will definitely report to **** by then. I'll do whatever they want. I'm still arranging things here. I worry too much. My hair falls out like this."

Old Carl also stroked his head, struggling with a few sparse hairs, watching other brothers and sisters leave Carl one after another to pursue a better life.

The old brothers walked all the way and didn't speak for a while. Carl looked up and looked at John as if he had something to say.

"John, why are you acting like you are constipated, just say something, we two brothers, are you shy or what?"

John also touched his head, which was much more hairy. He rubbed his index finger between his nose and mouth again, and then said slowly:

"Brother Carl, do you still remember, because of my marriage with Anna, we had a fight? It was about 18 years, if I remember correctly, it was in 1823, and 18 years have passed. "

Old Carl looked at his younger brother, and the cowardly look was exactly the same as 50 years ago. He patted John on the head, and the action was the same as 50 years ago. He reprimanded:

"What's the matter, John, why are you hesitating, hurry up and don't fuss."

John blushed, and said in one breath:

"Brother Carl, you still remember that you said at the time that you had an idea. If you want to tell me about it, I will despise you and tell it to Brother Franz. Although he doesn't like you, he will slap his legs and be amazed. I called him at the time. You tell me, let me despise it, you say that I am too young, wait until I mature, wait for my child to be ten or eight years old."

John took a breath and continued:

"My child is ten or eight years old. Am I mature enough to listen to me?"

(see chapters 65 and 66)

Old Carl smiled and pointed to John:

"You can really hold back. It's been 18 years. I remember that."

Old Carl slowly stopped laughing and said to John:

"Actually, I want you to be a spy, a clear-cut spy."

John looked incomprehensible and patted his head. Could it be that my intelligence and brother Carl are so different?

Carl looked at him and continued:

"John, you are the most popular person in the German state, except for Opp's small state. So I plan to let you, with your influence on them, help Austria."

Old Carl rubbed his hands together, as if he was a little embarrassed to assign this task to John, UU reading www. uukanshu.com He went on to say:

"After all, there are too few main ethnic groups in the empire. If you can convince Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria, and Saxony in the South German region to join our empire, then our strength will be greatly increased."

Old Carl sighed again and said:

"It can also put a little pressure on Hungary and Northern Italy, and stop them from jumping out and sing opposite Vienna all day long. In this way, the strength of Hungary and Northern Italy can be aligned with the strength of our Austria."

John scratched his head again and asked:

"What does this have to do with spies and not spies?"

Carl answered bluntly:

"The German states other than Opp treat you as their spy in Austria. I mean, let you become a counter-spy. Although it seems that you are thinking of them, you are actually serving Austria."

John shook his head vigorously and lamented:

"Oh, how unreliable my words and deeds were in the past, so that they could treat me as their own, as their spy in Austria."

"Then what should I do?" John asked.

Carl breathed a sigh of relief. This younger brother didn't scold him or despise him. It was strange.

"There is no need for all kinds of conspiracy and tricks, just reveal it to them clearly. First, with Britain, France, Russia and other big countries, small countries have no prospects; second, they can only choose one of Austria or Prussia to follow; Thirdly, Austria is more suitable for them than Prussia."

"It's the same as what little Carl and I said. If he hadn't been born 18 years ago, I'd doubt that the two of you would have unified your caliber."
