Mediterranean Hegemony Road
Chapter 4, the next generation of problems
Grand Duchess Senia is worthy of being a prolific mother. After giving birth to Ferdinand's third son at the end of 19o5, at the beginning of 19o8, his fourth son was born!
It is a pity that Ferdinand was not able to hold a celebration for the arrival of the little guy, and a bad news came.
"Your Majesty, King Carlos I was killed on the spot in Lisbon's Main Street Commercial Plaza today; the Crown Prince Louis Philippe was seriously injured and later died; the second son, Prince Manuel, was also shot in the arm!" The attendant hurriedly ran in and said
Ferdinand knew the big things, "Killing the King" is a big event at any time, and more importantly, the two dead, both important members of his Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty, and Ferdinand The relationship is very close!
The former King of Portugal was also the brother of Ferdinand's father, which means that within a day his cousin died, and his cousin also died!
"Has the murderer caught it?" Ferdinand asked angrily
Now Ferdinand has to do something. If he doesn't respond when his family dies, how can he still be in Europe?
Oh, his anger is not fake, it is really angry, although Ferdinand usually does not take the family as a big thing, but after all, he is also one of the beneficiaries of this family!
What happened to the Kingdom of Portugal is likely to jeopardize his Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty's rule in Portugal. Once the crown of Portugal is lost, it will also be a big blow to Ferdinand, and it will weaken the entire family in the country. A worldwide influence that no member of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty would tolerate!
The maid said hesitantly, "Caught, it's still under review!"
Ferdinand nodded. He knew that the domestic situation in Portugal had always been bad. The Republicans thought about rebelling every day, but he still did not expect that someone would dare to directly kill the king!
after all,
Carlos I was not alone either. The Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty is now in its heyday, a bit stronger than it has ever been in history.
Even if you rebel and expel the king, everyone can accept it, but directly killing the king is challenging everyone's bottom line. It will also be boycotted by the royal family all over Europe, even for the family honor Ferdinand has to come forward!
It is not up to Ferdinand to decide whether to interfere with Portugal or not. After all, Bulgaria is far away, so don’t worry about it, let Edward in London decide!
Ferdinand thought for a moment and said, "I will report to the Bulgarian Embassy in Portugal immediately and pay close attention to the changes in the situation in Lisbon.
In addition, contact the British and Belgians to put pressure on the Portuguese government, ordering the Portuguese government to find the murderer as soon as possible and give the world an explanation!
And tell the politicians in Portugal that when necessary, we don't mind using extreme measures, and I believe that the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Dynasty still has this strength! "
On this issue, the members of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty are all in the same position. The murderer must be severely punished, and at the same time, the smooth succession of Prince Manuel must be guaranteed. This is the bottom line for everyone!
Ferdinand doesn't know much about what happened in history. After all, Portugal has fallen in this era, and he didn't pay much attention to it in his previous life. Now he can only take one step at a time!
It's a pity that the strength of the royal family in Portugal is limited now, otherwise this is an opportunity to clear the door! No matter which power it is, as long as it is attached to this one, it can be swept away directly!
Now it depends on whether the future Manuel II has the courage, as long as he dares to do it, Ferdinand will support it to the end!
The Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty will be his biggest backing, even if it kills a bloody river, as long as it is handled properly, it will not be a problem!
Well, Ferdinand just paid attention to this issue and passed it. He is not the original owner and has no plans to avenge his cousin.
Of course, if his nephew wanted to take revenge, he would be happy to support it, and it would not be a problem to contribute money!
Anyway, he tried his best to save the remaining nephew. Unless the politicians in Portugal are really crazy, they will not dare to attack Manuel!
Not only that, they must also ensure his personal safety. Otherwise, Ferdinand would also mind organizing an intervention army, just to carve up their colonies!
As for his fourth son, he can only say sorry. Two of his closest relatives have just died. Now is not a good time to celebrate.
Even if the Europeans are not very taboo about these things, Ferdinand still couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart, thinking it was disrespect to the dead!
As compensation, Ferdinand gave him a very domineering name "Caesar", but now this little Caesar - I really can't see it - is there anything domineering!
Oh, Ferdinand's eldest son, Ferdinand, has now started a hell-like study life. Every day is either studying or training. Ferdinand is completely incapable of getting involved in this aspect.
Every time he wanted to give little Ferdinand a holiday, he would be bombarded by the two mistresses of the family. The reason was that every qualified king must undergo rigorous training to hone his will. Otherwise it will become waste in the future!
By the way, they also listed a series of examples. In their hearts, basically every idiot king in Europe was decided by the education they received since childhood. Even Ferdinand was arrested as a strong man, and he was responsible for teaching the little guys the kingship!
That's right, even the little guys, even the little Caesar who is still breastfeeding, should be listening. No, he should be sleeping next to him. I really don't know what he can understand!
Anyway, whether they understood it or not, Ferdinand had to give the little ones a routine imperial education every week.
After all, Ferdinand is in everyone's heart, and he is now one of the representatives of the successful emperor. He has the qualifications and obligations: to train the next generation of qualified heirs!
As a result, Ferdinand now has to be careful every time he is in class. This can't be messed up. He is afraid that if he is not careful, he will lead some of his sons astray!
In order to prevent him from being soft-hearted or lazy, his mother and wife would take turns to supervise.
At the beginning, Ferdinand was preparing to educate the little guys into a new generation of model youth, but in the end he failed, mainly because he didn't know how to teach it reliably!
Forced to do so, Ferdinand had no choice but to tell stories. In his impression, children are still very interested in stories, and their learning efficiency is probably higher! The historical stories of ancient and modern China and foreign countries are all cases that the little guys learn.
What political struggles are intriguing, what is the cruelty of power struggles, what is the importance of economic development, etc., are all indispensable. The focus is on the French Revolution and the British constitutional monarchy.
Under the strong request of his mother, Princess Clementine, Ferdinand analyzed the causes and consequences in detail, and entrained his own private goods. From the perspective of the greatest conspiracy theory, he cultivated the little guys' trick skills!
There's no way who called her Orleans dynasty overturned? Therefore, she asked Ferdinand to be vigilant and not allow her grandson to follow in the footsteps of her father!
Many times, Ferdinand was worried about letting children touch these things since childhood, whether they would raise them crookedly, and it turned out that he really thought too much.
Now is the transition period between the era of colonialism and the era of imperialism. The strong eat the weak and survive the fittest. Almost all the children of the old aristocrats have to learn, let alone the children of the royal family.
It doesn't matter if you have cultivated conspirators or unscrupulous politicians. If you have cultivated silly and sweet, then you are really finished. It is estimated that he will be the next guillotine!
In this regard, the soon-to-be succeeded Manuel II is a negative teaching material. In history, he has been fooled into playing free politics, delegating power to political parties to form cabinets, and then having one after another infighting, which has made Portugal into a haze.
Of course, the final pot is still up to him. Because every time something goes wrong, the cabinet can step down, but the king has no way to escape!
In the end, the cabinet kept changing, and the Portuguese people's ability to bear reached the limit. Seeing that the momentum was not right, the Republicans pushed the king out of the top tank, ending the monarchy era.
There is no doubt that the situation in the Portuguese Republic will only become more chaotic. It is you who sing and I will appear! It lasted until the 1980s, when the situation in Portugal stabilized!
Ferdinand was still somewhat impressed by what happened to this unfortunate nephew, but there was nothing he could do.
An existence who thinks his brain is crooked and lacks ability, Ferdinand doesn't think he can control so many messy parties!
Unless, now that he is stimulated, he can explode once, taking the opportunity to kill future political enemies on the grounds of revenge on his father and brother, anyway, these political party bosses are also inseparable from this assassination case!
Oh, Ferdinand has done this kind of thing before, but his methods are more clever, and he successfully passed the blame to the cabinet, so he is still the perfect king in the eyes of the people!
Of course, in fact, even if all these are exposed now, Ferdinand doesn't care anymore, and he can't shake his rule anyway.
Even if Stam's cabinet returns to China now, it will be useless to push everything to him. The successful ones will not be blamed!
Oh, the key is that Ferdinand controls public opinion, and everyone must be responsible for what they say, ensure its authenticity, and come up with evidence, otherwise they will be put in jail!
Now Nicholas II of Russia, Wilhelm II of Germany, and Joseph I of Austria-Hungary are all imitating some policies of Ferdinand and consolidating their own rule. The resistance of the forces is not very effective!
In general, the dominance of European governments on this plane should be more stable.
