War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

If anyone in the British government is the most anti-Austrian, then Viscount Stratford dares to recognize first, but no one dares to recognize second.

After all, most British politicians actually have no holiday with the Austrian Empire. Even if there is an act against the Austrian Empire, it is just a political need.

Unfortunately, Viscount Stratford happened to receive news that Maximilian and Ludwig were in Istanbul at this time.

As the British Consul General in the Ottoman Empire, Viscount Stratford's power can almost be described as being too great to be boundless.

Viscount Stratford sat at his office desk, holding a secret letter just sent from Vienna in his hand, and an Ottoman with an excited face stood in front of him.

The Ottoman in front of him is named Raust Parayev. Although he is wearing traditional Ottoman costumes, he is a real Cambridge University graduate.

“Mr. Canning, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the Austrians should pay for their carelessness!

As long as two Habsburg royals die in Istanbul, the Ottomans will never have a way out!

Your great revenge can be avenged, the Ottoman Empire will also usher in liberation, and our cause is just! ”

Viscount Stratford's eyes swept across the letter paper quickly, and the news above confirmed the words of Raust Parayev.

There are many passionate young people like Laust Parayev in Istanbul. It is not difficult to plan an assassination without knowing it, and there are as many scapegoats as you want.

Even if those guys are scapegoats, I'm afraid they will thank themselves in the end.

Killing two important members of the Habsburg family will definitely cause a heavy blow to the reputation and influence of the Austrian Empire, and you can also exert a rant in your heart.

But Viscount Stratford is not a lunatic, what will the result of this assassination be?

The Austrian Empire participated in the war, a bloody battle that never ended.

If Britain chose to stand idly by, the Ottoman Empire would probably suffer an irreversible heavy blow.

If Britain chooses to participate in the war, it will be a recurrence of the anti-French war, and this time the British Empire will play the role of France.

But no matter what, the Russians will become the biggest winner, and the Austrian Empire's participation in the war will greatly reduce the pressure on the Russians.

Russian expansion will further threaten the interests of Britain in the Near East and even Central Asia.

Although the Austrian Empire developed very quickly, it still did not have the ability to compete with Britain for the world. However, Russia's expansion will directly threaten the survival of the British Empire Egypt, the Persian Gulf, India, the Far East, and even North America.

"I already know what you said. Thank you Mr. Roust. I will pass the news back to the country. I believe the Prime Minister will make an informed decision.

Until then, I hope you will remain restrained and not act without authorization. ”

Laust Parayev was stunned for a moment. He thought his chance had come, but he was poured with a basin of cold water on his head.

Kraust Parayev was not discouraged, he still had a solution

Viscount Stratford could only say helplessly in a pleading tone when he saw the other party's expression.

“I want to tell you as a friend that the Ottoman Empire and Russia and Austria are deadlocked now.

I know you hate corrupt religions and fallen kings, but now is not the time. Before your revolution is completed, the country will be divided up first by evil Austria and Russia.

I hope you can consider the future of your country and the freedom of the people. I believe that the only thing that my royal power brings is oppression, and only democracy can achieve true freedom. That is our true mission.

If you really want to help, then keep an eye on the Russians, Russia is a barbaric country in the guise of civilization. ”

Laust Parayev's eyes were filled with tears, but he was a little depressed, and he left the room with just saying "thank you".

Viscount Stratford was very satisfied with his trick of killing people with a knife, but the other party's performance made him feel at ease.

Viscount Stratford called his confidant and asked him to stare at Loust ​​if the latter wanted to do something that was not conducive to the British Empire.

At the same time, Viscount Stratford also sent a group of people to stare at the Russians, who felt that Russians were the biggest threat. Assassination, even more despicable things the Russians can do.

The Russians naturally knew that Maximilian and Ludwig arrived in Constantinople, but Russia really didn't have many ideas.

First of all, the first question, that is, the biggest problem, they have no one.

The second question is that they do not have the permission to do such things.

At least for the vast majority of Russians in Constantinople.

Vienna, Hofburg Palace.

Due to the multiple expansions of Schonbrunn Palace, Franz did not follow the precedent and Olga lived in Hofburg Palace, but was still living in Schonbrunn Palace, except when working.

In fact, Franz spent much more time in Hofburg Palace than in Schonbrunn Palace, which made the newlywed Queen Olga feel lonely.

Usually, the queen would relieve her worries by participating in upper-class activities, but Olga soon discovered a problem, and her age at twenty-eight made her look extremely embarrassed.

Olga was even older than Franz's aunt Friedrich's wife Princess Sineka, and Franz's sister and younger brother were more like her children.

Moreover, Olga was somewhat too awe of Mrs. Sophie, and there was nothing he could do about it, after all, the latter had a reputation.

In addition, Olga understood a little bit why Franz didn't like to attend public places, and his elder brother became a deserter in the social field at all. The cumbersome etiquette was really fatal.

Taking a dance as an example, she had to accept greetings from everyone for at least one-third, or even more, and often inadvertently robbing the main people.

Olga knew it was a responsibility, but she wanted to do something more meaningful like Franz.

So Olga rarely offered to open his own Queen's Hall next to Franz's Royal Hall.

Franz readily agreed and moved the Charity and Public Utilities Department into Queen's Hall the next day.

Then Olga saw a mountain of documents and petitions from all directions. She suddenly thought it was good to be a mascot

Olga's original purpose was actually to get closer to Franz, but after seeing this exaggerated workload and Franz's attitude, she gave up this idea.

Olga also began to help with some official duties. Although she didn't understand very well, fortunately, there were secretaries to help. Moreover, charity and public utilities mainly mean to speak out for vulnerable groups, improve social welfare, and improve the quality of life of the people. This can be considered as A job that makes people feel happy.

At least in Olga's eyes, she and Franz were engaged in a great and noble career
