War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Tuesday, December 11, 1849.

Everyone in Vienna got up very early on this day, but today was not a holiday, just a wedding.

Of course, maybe from now on it will be a legal holiday in the Austrian Empire.

In fact, usually the citizens of Vienna should welcome the escort of the queen at the city gate, but due to the actual situation of Austria and Russia, this tradition had to be changed.

Vienna is nearly 1,800 kilometers away from St. Petersburg. Considering the actual situation of the road at that time, the bride-picking is more like a long-distance journey, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take about forty days.

In addition, Russia has entered winter, and the two countries are alternately at war. It is a dead end to continue this tradition. After all, there are too many unexpected situations that may occur, including but not limited to: disease, natural disasters, traffic accidents, war, political assassination.

So this tradition became a wedding parade. The parade will start from Schönbrunn Palace to St. Stephen's Cathedral for the wedding, and then go to the pier, take a boat to receive the blessings of the people on both sides of the strait, go down the river, land and bypass Central Park, and then return to Schönbrunn Palace.

The route covers the entire inner city, which is also the tradition of the Austrian Empire. However, the inner city of Austria at this time is larger than the entire Vienna in history, so they have to use boats to speed up the parade.

At four o'clock in the morning, the crowds of people gathered outside the Schönbrunn Palace to watch the excitement. The scene inside the Schönbrunn Palace was even more amazing. Almost all the royal families in Europe sent people to celebrate Franz's wedding.

Needless to say, the current royal families of Germany and Italy, the Bourbon family, the Braganza family (Portuguese royal family), the Bernadotte family (Swedish royal family), and even those families that had long lost their ruling power squeezed in.

These people came to congratulate naturally with impure purposes. Franz was one of the most powerful monarchs in Europe at this time, and he had a precedent of saving the Orleans family and the Bourbon family, and changing the dynasty in Spain.

This made him a god worshipped by those ambitious people, politicians, and delusional people.

In addition to the familiar faces of the European royal families, there were many Arabs in white robes, and even some Asian faces, but they could only stand on the periphery.

Waiting always makes people anxious, especially for those big men, whose time is very precious.

For example, several sons of Said the Great, they don't think the Austrian Empire is great, so they are very dissatisfied to be forced to stand on the periphery.

Suweini is Said's favorite son. He has never been treated so coldly in his life. He is extremely dissatisfied and is complaining endlessly in Arabic with several brothers.

The Indian merchants kneeling on the ground reminded them to pay attention to etiquette. Suweini naturally couldn't listen, but he didn't want to offend these gods of wealth, so he pretended not to hear.

These Indian merchants are actually all royal blood, but there are too many of them, and as merchants, they don't have such strong self-esteem. In addition, they know Franz's horror better after traveling all over the country.

On the other side, several heirs of the Japanese feudal states were also somewhat unconvinced, but these guys were very good at pretending, but deep down they had already planned how to carry out a massacre in Vienna after breaking through the Austrian Empire.

Suddenly the lights came on, and the sudden white light was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes. Then a sharp whistle sounded, and countless fireworks rose into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.

Outside the Schönbrunn Palace, there was a tsunami of cheers, but the guests in the palace were all worried.

Especially Prince Souveny, who had been indifferent before, was lying on the ground and dared not move. The Japanese who had just been full of fantasies were even more frightened.

I saw a whole fleet of airships appear in the sky. This is definitely an unforgettable scene for those who have never seen airships before.

Gradually, they heard footsteps like war drums in the dark, and the uniform footsteps made people's scalps numb.

Appearing in the front was the Royal Guard of the Austrian Empire. They were tall and resolute, and the majestic momentum made people feel awe naturally.

Under this overwhelming sense of oppression, some big figures performed worse than ordinary citizens of Vienna. After all, the citizens of Vienna have seen these things and these people.

The uniforms of the Austrian Empire in white shirts and black pants are already eye-catching. Franz also deliberately added some elements of a certain empire and invited the top craftsmen in Europe at that time to carry out localization reforms.

Franz can be sure that he will change the trend of European aesthetics.

It has to be said that the things designed by art students are beautiful and have a shocking beauty.

It is well known that the Austrian Empire has never lacked talents in art. Franz just took this opportunity to interrupt the rhythm of British cultural output. Austria does not need the British to dominate the West.

After the guard of honor is the royal motorcade, among which there is a carriage made of pure silver that is extremely conspicuous. It can be said to be extremely luxurious.

However, it seems out of place in the entire motorcade. After all, the design style of the whole car is too low, just like a nouveau riche.

But soon someone recognized the origin of the carriage.

"You country bumpkin, you don't know anything! That's the spoils of the empire!"

"Trophy?"

"That's right! It originally belonged to a rebellious noble in Hungary. It is said that it used a full three million florins worth of silver."

"What a waste! The Hungarian rebels are nothing! If I get three million, I will live in a bar every day and find two waitresses to accompany me, but I won't come out!"

"Look at your achievements! His Majesty the Emperor has put down the rebellion, and this carriage has naturally become a trophy of our Austrian Empire. It was previously exhibited in front of the Hofburg Palace."

"Our emperor is really awesome!"

After this explanation, the people became more excited. They like to stand on the side of the winner.

But what people don't know is that this carriage was the last time it was paraded in the city. Franz didn't like this kind of silver lump. It would be better to melt it into silver coins than to exhibit it in a museum. However, considering the fragile pride of the people of the Austrian Empire, it was sent to the museum.

The airships in the sky also began to sprinkle paper-wrapped candies and petals, and the cheers of the people were higher and higher.

Finally, it reached a climax in front of Stephen's Cathedral. Franz wore a crown and stood in front of the church gate with a scepter in his hand. Princess Olga finally appeared in front of everyone wearing her luxurious wedding dress at the bottom of the steps.

Princess Olga's skirt is like a flowing galaxy, and the countless treasures inlaid on it are shining like stars.

This scene can definitely make many people jealous. Princess Olga walked slowly to Franz's side accompanied by eight escorts.

At this time, the sun had just risen, and the two peerless beauties almost blinded everyone.

Chapter 1, studying the map editor, but it seems that I don't have the talent in this area.
