Golden Greenery

Chapter 247 The Grand Duke keeps a low profile

Otto von never expected that Joseph's family would mobilize such a force to attack him, and it was obvious that they would not give up.

After Austrian Archduke Frank Joseph obtained solid evidence from the Zieglinski family, a descendant of Lord Chiglen, he looked through the old palace archives of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Instead of going to Otto von himself, he reported the matter to The governments and royal families of Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Hungary, and Croatia, as well as the Knights of Malta and the Vatican, who are closely related to this period of history, asked them to come forward to seek justice for their ancestors.

Therefore, Otto von had a big head. Even if he lived for a long time and experienced ups and downs, he would not be able to withstand so many accusations. Father Kou asked Otto Feng to hand over the missing part of the palace archives, the content about Archduke Ferdinand’s private handwriting, and to announce all the truth to the relevant countries and the entire family; he also asked the Feng family to formally apologize to the ancestors of the Joseph family. , reburied his great-grandmother Mrs. Meredith; asked Otto von to represent the Feng family in front of the coffins of Franz Joseph I, Princess Sissi and the late Crown Prince Rudolf to confess; asked Otto von to abdicate.

Of course Otto Feng knew about this hidden history a hundred years ago. It was fully recorded in the Feng family's secret files, and his father also told him about it back then. Not only the case of Lord Cheglen, Otto von knew much more than the Joseph family.

The Feng family is the spare tire of the Joseph family. The spare tire means hope and despair. There are few people who are spare tires who don't have random thoughts. In fact, the late Prince Rudolf's suicide by swallowing a gun was closely related to the Feng family.

Baroness Marie Vesela from the Czech Republic was secretly introduced to the playboy Crown Prince Rudolf by Archduke Ferdinand. It was Archduke Ferdinand who constantly encouraged the 17-year-old Marie Vesela to force Rudolf to divorce and marry her instead.

Archduke Ferdinand did this in order to "degenerate" Rudolph and make his impression worse and worse with the emperor, empress, the Senate, and the Holy See, so that these people who could decide the throne of the empire would hate Rudolph. In this way, as a backup, I will have a chance.

But Archduke Ferdinand never expected that Rudolf ended up committing suicide for his love with Marie Vesela, and it was simply getting twice the result with half the effort. As a result, he naturally became the new crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The subsequent attacks on Meredith and Hubert were all actions of self-protection after he became a regular, and Archduke Ferdinand had to do that.

A hundred years later, Archduke Ferdinand's grandson Otto von didn't expect that after so many years, things would be revealed by mistake, and Lord Ceglun would survive and have descendants. He didn't expect that Joseph's family would be so determined. , Dare to make such a big deal.

The case of 'Lord Cheglen' can be considered major or minor, depending on the perspective from which it is viewed. To put it mildly, it was just a nasty internal fight within the family a long time ago. It was not unusual at all, and it happened to every noble and royal family.

But speaking more broadly, this incident changed the fate of the Habsburg-Lorraine family, European history and even world history.

First of all, the death of Princess Sissi is inseparable from this incident. She went to Switzerland to find Hubert. Secondly, His Majesty Emperor Franz Joseph I, who was wise and powerful throughout his life, made many mistakes in his later years and his performance in power was a mess.

Although World War I was an inevitable duel between the old and new forces of capitalism and colonialism, the war was always started by Franz Joseph I's order, and he was stubborn and refused to listen to persuasion. If he had not been such a simple-minded king when his beloved wife, beloved children, and grandchildren were still alive, he would have had a more appropriate response.

World War II was essentially a continuation of World War I. After hundreds of millions of people died, the current world structure was determined. If we insist on saying that these are all related to the case of Lord Chiglen,

It's not that it's unreasonable.

Today, there are probably hundreds of thousands of people around the world who have Habsburg blood, and there are about 20,000 to 30,000 people who have relatively close ties with the family. There are as many as 3,000 core members with relatively close ties. Otto von knew that many people in the family were dissatisfied with him as the head of the family, because he was stingy and cold, and did not take care of them on weekdays. Moreover, the family members were very dissatisfied with him for not developing and growing Habsburg over the years. Every year, he was so pitiful. The income is really not worthy of this glorious name.

In fact, Otto von did this intentionally. He had the ideal of restoration in his heart, but he could not let the tree attract the wind, and he could not let the powerful governments be wary of him now. The hidden financial resources of the Habsburg family far exceed those on the surface, and may be more than ten times what is on the books. Otto von is hiding his strength and biding his time, leaving capital to be returned to us by his descendants when the time is right.

That's why Otto von chose his grandson Thomas von as his successor. His age and ability were the most ideal candidate to complete the family's great cause. Although the younger son George Feng looks outstanding, he is too sharp and is not conducive to the overall strategic situation of the family. Moreover, in Otto von's view, the time for restoration should be 30 to 40 years later. By that time, Europe will be in chaos. The Habsburg family who has accumulated enough may be able to fish in troubled waters and win the unification somewhere. At that time, the age of the second son George, who is now 47 years old, was not very suitable, but Thomas, who was only 29 years old and equally outstanding, was quite suitable.

.

Everyone is not stupid. Otto von tried his best to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but he could not hide it from the Archduke of Austria, nor could he completely deceive the governments of various countries. Because of their feelings, they respect Habsburg, but they will never allow such a giant to reverse the course of history. Therefore, Frank Joseph's request for help gave them an opportunity to intervene in Habsburg's internal affairs, and it was a natural move to take the opportunity to eliminate this small hidden danger of instability.

Otto Feng was also not a fool. Although Kou's father didn't reveal anything, he still followed the clues and discovered the 'culprit' of this incident. With his experience and vision of the old world, Zhuo Yang's small actions here were quickly revealed. He analyzed it thoroughly.

well--! Old Otto sighed softly and pulled the blanket up again. I didn't expect that a small Chinese could cause such a big disturbance in the middle. Maybe I should have listened to my grandson Thomas's advice and ignored the troubles in Joseph's family. I would have nothing to do with Zhuo Yang.

Otto Feng doesn't think about how to retaliate against Zhuo Yang and Zygrinski now, because it's useless to try to stop him after the incident is exposed, and now his every move has become the target of public criticism, so he can't touch Zhuo Yang at all. To be honest, Otto had to admit that he actually had nothing to do with Zhuo Yang.

Otto Feng, Archduke of Habsburg, was thinking hard about how to deal with the rebellion of Joseph's family, and Zhuoyang, who was worried about him, was facing the challenge of the Japanese team, and the Asian Cup final was coming.
