Chapter 619 Playing the Family Card

Located in the middle of Europe, bordering Germany and Czechoslovakia in the north, Hungary in the east, and Austria in the south with Slovenia and Italy, it is a transportation hub from south to north and from west to east in the middle of the European continent, and has played a very important role in European history. ，/

Vienna, the capital and largest city of Austria, has been known as the "City of Music" since ancient times.

Lin Yu, who came here, was infected by the strong classical atmosphere here for the first time, and walked along the avenue, all of which were typical medieval buildings, igniting the romantic atmosphere of Gothic, making the whole city look elegant and atmospheric.

"This is really a good place," Lin Yu, who was sitting in the car, looked at the scenery in front of him, and sighed, the people fed by the mountains and rivers here may also be pregnant with a natural artistic nature and a smart temperament.

Shaking his head and putting aside the rest of his thoughts, Lin Yu once again put his eyes out of the window, his eyes wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, Lin Yu's convoy arrived outside a typical Gothic building, and Lin Yu, who had just gotten off the car, felt the oncoming retro atmosphere, Lin Yu knew that this building was probably a long time ago, not renovated in modern times.

Lin Yu, who had just gotten out of the car, also attracted the attention of the people who came to greet him, it was a fairly tall blonde man, seeing Lin Yu, he only hesitated, as if he was comparing it with the news he had received before, and after confirming the identity of the person who came, he greeted him, bowed down with a smile and said, "If we are mistaken, Your Excellency must be Mr. Lin Yu." ”

Lin Yu carefully looked at the comer, smiling but gentle, respectful but not lacking in arrogance, looking at his words and demeanor, you can feel the harmony like a spring breeze - Sure enough, it is worthy of being cultivated by a big family, secretly affirmed in his heart, Lin Yu smiled faintly, "If you don't know the second Lin Yu, I think I should be the one you said." ”

The man didn't have a trace of surprise or other expressions, but as calm just now, he smiled slightly, and said without humility or arrogance, "Then Mr. Lin Yu, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is White and I am the butler of the patriarch, and the patriarch has been waiting for a long time, please come with me." ”

With that, White made an inviting gesture.

Lin Yu also smiled and nodded, making an inviting gesture, White walked half a step behind Lin Yu halfway sideways, and at the same time kept pointing the direction in his hand, "Please go this way..." His words always made people feel uncomfortable, making Lin Yu sigh again in his heart.

"I wonder who came to negotiate on behalf of the Habsburgs?" On the way, Lin Yu asked meaningfully.

White glanced at Lin Yu and saw his indifferent expression, thinking that he was asking casually, so he replied, "Of course, our patriarch came in person, and I think your identity is worth it." ”

When Lin Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, obviously he didn't want some people to participate, of course, he also knew that it was impossible for her to participate in this, after all, not everyone in this world can understand many things at such a young age.

Soon, White led Lin Yu and his party to a golden hall, which is not an exaggeration to describe this place, the empty hall is placed with a huge long table, the table is full of decorations, and the hall is directly above the golden transparent ceiling, the whole hall looks magnificent.

Around the hall stood in an orderly manner, some men dressed in medieval warrior costumes, except for the sword at the waist, there were no other weapons in sight, Lin Yu knew that this was the rule of aristocratic negotiations, and it was also agreed by the two families before, that no hot weapons should appear in the venue.

As soon as Lin Yu arrived in the hall, an old man in gorgeous and simple clothes walked on the other side, his eyes focused on Lin Yu surrounded by everyone, and he slowly came with a kind smile.

From his eyes, Lin Yu couldn't feel anything else, only warmth and kindness, he could imagine that as a grandfather, he must be very kind.

At this point, Lin Yu's heart suddenly cooled, as if he had been splashed with cold water on a winter day wearing a cotton jacket, and his eyes became strange, and a feeling appeared in his heart that he did not mean this.

You must know that people's first impressions are very heavy, and he will more or less affect people's judgments, if Lin Yu sees him at the first glance and gives him a gentle label, then wait for the negotiation, I am afraid that he will become soft-hearted because of this.

Lin Yu wasn't sure if he was intentional or pretending, but this didn't prevent him from spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain in his heart.

Lin Yu paused, and then with a hint of a smile, he slowly greeted him, and on the side of the long table, he looked at the old Habsburg head-on.

He was flanked by Mero, Kafu of the Württemberg family, German Chancellor Kohl, and a number of other unknown people.

On the old Habsburg side, in addition to the man named White just now, on the other side is Austrian President Kirchschleger, and his people include the German Minister of Finance whom he has met before, and some other important people.

"It's a pleasure to meet His Excellency the Habsburg Grand Duke here," Lin Yu looked at the old man opposite with a smile and said in an indifferent tone.

"I'm glad to see you again, little one."

"Grandpa, please be seated." Lin Yu said.

The last time he came to the Habusburg family, the old patriarch of Habsburg talked to Lin Yu about a very personal issue for Lin Yu, that is, the issue of marriage, so there is now Lin Yu called the old Habusburg grandfather.

After the two of them sat down, the others sat down as well.

Next, it is the beginning of the main topic, and it is also a division of interests.

In the Golden Hall, Lin Yu and the Habsburgs opposite quietly flipped through the documents on the table, these were some directional questions about the discussion of this meeting, and both sides were very cautious.

"As we all know, the unification of the German regions was completed under the leadership of our family, and historically, the German regions have been under our Habsburg rule for a long time, such as the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire," the old Habsburg said, flipping through the documents, to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, grandpa, if you really want to investigate history and use history to prove the belonging of Germany, then there is no need for us to sit here and negotiate with it, I prefer to sit together and drink tea." ”

"You stinky boy, well, we don't talk about history, only about interests." Old Habsburg said with a smile.

"If you don't use this method, then what do you say will be used to determine the belonging of Germany?" Habsburg nodded without a trace, then thought for a moment and said.

"According to the current division of forces," Lin Yu said directly without hesitation, "We, you and the Junker bourgeoisie have always been divided into three parts of Germany, whether in politics, economy or the military, almost all of them show this situation, so let's talk about the current sphere of influence we have." ”

"But now you have three major German intelligence agencies in your hands, don't you?" Habsburg reminded that Lin Yu had mastered the intelligence agencies and had actually extended their advantage in the Federal Republic of Germany, "which is not fair to Habsburg."

If we talk about it according to Lin Yu's method, in fact, their influence in the Federal Republic of Germany will be relatively squeezed out, their value in Germany will be reduced, and the benefits they will get will also be reduced, and if we talk about the influence of the Habsburgs in Germany in modern times, then their weight in Germany will increase.

So Habsburg continued, "I think there is one thing you have to admit. ”

"What?" Lin Yu frowned slightly, looking at him, he was also slightly unhappy in his heart, could it be that this old man wanted to bring the German issue to history to get bigger bargaining chips?

Lin Eun knew that the old guys always wanted to talk about history when they had something to do, so as to show how deep his knowledge and understanding were.

"Germany is our unity, isn't it?" Habsburg said softly, and then seeing Lin Yu's frowns and an unhappy look, he smiled and continued, "Austria and Hungary, to which Germany belongs, have always belonged to us, haven't they? ”

"I said it, you mention history, it's useless," Lin Yu has repeatedly emphasized not to talk about history, but the old man still doesn't forget to mention it to kill his patience, Lin Yu said helplessly, "For history, don't say admit it, many things can't prove anything." Grandpa, if you do this again, let's just go and have tea. ”

"No, but I can prove it," Habsburg said unhurriedly, ignoring Lin Yu's expression.

"What?" Lin Yu wondered.

"We originated in Austria, we belong to Germany, we have a natural connection with Germany, you can't deny that, this is where our ancestors lived for generations, and you can't deny that if Austria is compared to Switzerland, then Germany is like China and a treasure island for us, isn't it?" Habsburg sighed softly, his tone was full of nostalgia and helplessness, which made Lin Yu on the side feel a pang in his heart.

Lin Yu felt that the Habsburgs were reminding him that even if they didn't mention history, then in terms of the connection with the times, for them, this place itself was not something that the Habsburgs were willing to give up, in their opinion, Germany was their reverse scale, although they couldn't control the overall situation now, but they didn't want to be sold cheaply.

Lin Yu was awe-inspiring in his heart, it turned out that the Habsburgs actually wanted to play the family card and improve the bargaining chips of the Habsburgs, there is a way, brothers, settle accounts, not to mention that Lin Yu and the Habsburg princess are not married yet, so there are some things that should be talked about. Lin Yu didn't want to rely too much on the Habsburgs, and the Habsburgs also wanted to completely control Lin Yu, but at the same time, the two sides didn't want to hurt the feelings between the two parties, which was a little difficult.
