Austria 1840

Speaking of which, Princess Maria felt distressed about the sponsorship she promised, and was just trying to get some back from her eldest nephew, the richest man and partner Carl, who knew she was rejected before she opened her mouth.

"Okay, then I won't talk about it, count the time, Uncle Carl and the others should come one after another."

Maria felt that if she made a specific request, as long as it was a little too much, the eldest nephew Carl would refuse without hesitation. Alas, she would not sell this favor at all. Have pity on my 10,000 pounds.

No, I didn't say anything, so I was denied. Suddenly I remembered inviting relatives and friends to come and see Novi Sad and see where the happy story between her and Schmidt happened. She added:

"Guess who will be the earliest? Uncle Carl, Uncle John, Elizabeth and Martha? Or maybe Amari taking Xiao Xianwang? Anyway, the Italian side will come later, I guess."

"Aunt Maria, your guess is similar to what I thought: the Italians came last, and the Austrian and Hungarian ones were the first."

"Don't make pregnant women angry, Carl. You can say anything I say and I can't answer."

Carl also thinks that he has been a bit slapped at his aunt recently. He didn't think of her as a big belly. This has to be changed. She can only slap you, you can't slap her. Well, bear with her for a few more months, and the baby doesn't have to let her be when she is born.

So Carl slowed down his words for a while, making the big-bellied woman feel that the hatred was gone, and came over to communicate normally.

"Auntie, I guessed the same as you, but I expected it to be wrong. It would be better if the northern Italian side came over first."

Time passed slowly in a series of "territorial inspections" by the two aunts and nephews.

They waited for the first guest, Elizabeth, um, and the second guest, Elizabeth's "cousin" and best friend, Martha, who was "gentle and honest".

Um, why did the third person appear in the cabin, a little one, um, this chubby girl who is not as fat as a normal child, is a little thin girl.

"Elizabeth, you beast, who did you give birth to? It's one step ahead of me." Maria called out immediately.

Elizabeth ignored this nervous sister at all. She said hello to Karl and went ashore directly. They came from Budapest by boat, down the Danube, slow or slow, better than sure.

"Well, that, Sister Maria, this was not born by Sister Elizabeth."

Martha hurriedly explained to the princess, her voice was very soft, and she did not blindly comment on "a gentle and honest person".

"Well, that's what you gave birth to? Martha, you are too outrageous. I wanted to talk about my marriage and love, but in the end, you brought all the babies, so do you want people to live a good life?"

"Okay, don't be crazy. The wind on the Danube can't stop your mouth, so I'll scoop some water for you."

Elizabeth is Elizabeth after all, she doesn't like her at all, and she is not like Martha, who has been suppressed by Maria since she was a child, and there are shadows.

"Sister Elizabeth, who is this lunatic? Why didn't Sister Maria come to pick us up?"

When the little girl spoke, she glanced at the pot-bellied mother Maria, her face full of doubts and a little bit of unease, she asked by pulling on the corner of Elizabeth's clothes.

"Mary, this crazy woman is your sister Maria."

Elizabeth took the little girl's hand, picked her up, gave her a reassurance pill by the way, and stepped onto the springboard.

"You lied to me. That's not what my father said about Sister Maria. She didn't say she had a big belly or a lunatic. Dad said that Sister Maria is similar to Sister Martha, with a gentle and honest personality."

When Martha and Karl heard the little girl's words, they couldn't help laughing. This Joseph gave Maria too much face.

Maria was also happy when she heard it, and she was a little ashamed, because she just scolded Joseph, Rena, Ludwig and other uncles a few days ago. share the guilt.

"What Uncle Joseph said is also true. When Sister Maria was in Schönbrunn Palace, she was free and easy at best, but now she's just crazy, eh, I really should put you in Schönbrunn Palace again to keep your temper."

Elizabeth and the little girl explained, then turned to Maria.

"Elizabeth, who do you think this is? The baby of old Joseph's family?"

"Ang, I'm the baby of Joseph's family, my name is Mary Henrietta. I'm the apple of my father's palm, the biggest beauty in Lao Ha's family, crazy woman, are you really Sister Maria?" …”

Everyone burst into laughter, but Mary didn't care about it. With doubt, she continued to ask:

"...Why are you crazy? Did you get married? No wonder Sister Martha didn't get married, and Sister Elizabeth didn't get married either. They were all afraid of going crazy. I won't get married in the future. It's too scary."

This burst of laughter was brought by Mary.

"That's a good interpretation, did you teach it, Elizabeth?"

Maria stared at Elizabeth and asked, regardless of her answer, and turned around to fool little Mary.

"What about Mary, Elizabeth and Martha? They didn't get married because they couldn't find a partner, not because they were afraid of being crazy. You won't be crazy when you get married. You see, they are still very happy."

"Then you didn't get married before, and you couldn't find someone? I remember when you got married, Dad was very happy and said that the family's biggest problem was finally solved."

Elizabeth originally wanted to fight back against Maria, but after listening to Mary's words and looking at Maria's face, um, that's enough. Mary, a little personal soldier, beat Maria and discarded her armor. , I don't need Grand Marshal Elizabeth to take action.

"Elizabeth, you are cruel enough to bring Mary here to deal with me..."

Elizabeth looked at the big-bellied woman in front of her with a smile. She was so displeased that she almost nodded. It was brought to you, what's the matter. Maria couldn't help it, she turned to stare at Mary, and continued with a bit of ruthlessness:

"...And old Joseph, you are really amazing. I think there are fewer bad things about you behind your back. It's not enough at all."

"It's not right to speak ill of people behind their backs. Sister Maria, everyone in Lao Ha's family has all kinds of things, and they always say things in person."

That's not right. Lao Ha's family has something to do with people who are not as good as him. If they can't beat him, they can only speak badly behind their backs. Carl said in his heart that children are easy to coax, and he really thought that the old Ha family was so awesome, a little thing that takes pride in the family.

"Is this my brother? You are much younger than my brothers. What's your name, can we be friends?"

Seeing that Maria had died down, Mary turned to Karl and asked a question.

"Mary, this is not my brother, this is Carl. He wants to call your aunt. I told you several times along the way, have you forgotten?"

Elizabeth carried her across the springboard, and then passed a pile of ropes, wooden stakes for ropes, water stains, and then put her down.

"Oh, this is Carl? You say he is very powerful and can make money. I don't think that's what I imagined."

The little girl circled around Karl. Karl was afraid that she would open his mouth and look at his teeth.

This little girl's future husband, Leopold II of Belgium, often does this.

Leopold II was a two-faced man, like Alexander I of Russia, Alexander was a face to his father, a face to his grandmother, a completely different face, Leopold II was a face of Europe and Africa, Completely two faces.

Leopold II was regarded as a benevolent monarch for his European subjects, the Austrian Netherlands, namely Belgium, and his private territory in Africa was comparable to Zhang Xianzhong + Dodo.

Europeans never imagined and could not imagine that the civilized people in this civilized world actually did so many cruel things.

Human nature is really complicated.

Of course, this also has something to do with his experience. The Austrian Netherlands is weak and weak. First, it was oppressed by the Netherlands, and then finally got rid of the Netherlands, and then faced triple oppression by France, the Netherlands, and Prussia.

His father, King Leopold I, often shuttled between Paris, Berlin and Vienna, seeking balance. It was a common thing to be arrogant. As the eldest son, he had always followed his father in diplomatic affairs. .

After he was angry, his father would also analyze with him why he had to endure it. Anyway, the ultimate reason was that the youth was weak, and there were many hooligans around him. The father and son could not see the exogenous power either, they could only practice the internal power.

Therefore, Belgium's industry is only later than that of Britain, and it is similar to that of France, the Rhineland, Prussia, and Austria.

After his father died, he inherited the Belgian throne at the age of 30. On the premise of continuing to increase his internal strength, he discovered the possibility of external expansion.

He quietly ran to Africa and occupied a piece of land. It was very big. He was no longer afraid of Xiaofa, Xiaohe, and Xiaopu to make trouble.

The land he acquired, as his own private territory, euphemistically called it: the Congo Free State, how should I put it, the more beautiful things and the less beautiful things are two sides of the same body and will never be separated.

In the "Congo Free State", he forced the locals to work for him, alas, directly killed 3 million, indirectly died, the ghost knows. It's not rhetoric, really only the Congolese who have been killed and turned into ghosts know.

Ten rooms and nine empty spaces may be exaggerated, but out of the ten rooms, there are nine hanging white flags that he has fixed. It should not be regarded as a rhetorical device, but only a line drawing.

Carl shook his head and got rid of Leopold II in his mind and his shit.

"Yes, Aunt Mary, I'm Karl. Welcome to Novi Sad, the new home of Princess Maria Anna, the new domain of Colonel Schmidt, and the new toy of Karl Ludwig, Neusatz Industrial area. Welcome…”

Carl gave Aunt Mary ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the daughter-in-law of the future tyrant, and said solemnly.

Well, Neusatz is the pronunciation of the Austrian name of Novi Sad.

"Haha, did you hear that? Carl called me aunt, he really called me aunt."

The little girl completely ruined the momentum created by Carl, and Carl can feel the feeling of Aunt Maria going to Grants John's uncle's house.

"I told you a long time ago that Karl is going to call your aunt, Mary, what are you making a fuss about."

Elizabeth gave her a dissatisfied look. Wouldn't that embarrass me? It's embarrassing in front of Maria.

"Sister Elizabeth, I heard rich people call me sister. I'm happy. Dad worries about money all day long. Can you lend me some money to my dad?"

She explained it to her sister, then turned to Carl and asked.

"No." Carl blurted out, without thinking.

"Okay, don't be afraid, Uncle Joseph not only doesn't lend you money, but also invests it in your fund. Like us, it's half stable and half risky."

"Aunt Elizabeth, the profit in 1841 may be less than this year. I wonder if Uncle Joseph knows."

"Don't worry, my dad told him that he should count. No matter how low it is, it's better than rotten hands."

"It's rotten in your hands? Uncle Joseph didn't invest in Hungary?"

"He was tormented by those Hungarian nobles, how could he pay for them to increase their strength?"

It seems that Lao Ha's family is doing this, and it is also in northern Italy. The nobles of these two states have, in fact, lost mutual trust with Lao Ha's family.

But no matter what, the money can't be rotten in your hands. Welcome to Newsatz Industrial Area, Uncle Joseph, um, money.
