Ps. Thank you for the Scandinavian Wolverine, the god of war Xiaobu and Pippi for their tips, thank you for your support!

After the late spring, it is the hot early summer, and the palace is as restless as the summer in Germany these days, and the reason for this restlessness is very simple, because William is ready to invite his rival in love, the Grand Duke Sergei of Russia, to the palace for a banquet.

The origin of the whole thing was the late spring night when Joey was called to his father and the old prime minister to talk all night. That late spring night was not only happy for Joey, but also for William, who also brought Princess Elisabeth from Potsdam back to the palace in Berlin under the cover of night.

The next morning, Joey, who was sleepy-eyed, saw the shy Ella cousin and the ruby ring on his left ring finger, which was refracted by the summer morning sun.

Joey glanced at the smug eldest brother who greeted him, made a grimace and quietly gave a thumbs up, and then sat down in their fixed corner with the two dead friends, and whispered while eating breakfast.

As more and more people walked into the restaurant, Princess Elizabeth couldn't bear the fact that everyone's eyes fell on her left hand, a heart of a young girl, mixed with sweetness and shyness, and finally a touch of shame came to her heart, and she was about to quietly remove her left hand from the table.

"Willy, is this beautiful young lady yours? Why don't you give us a formal introduction? "Aunt Anna, who is from Scots, doesn't know what the British subtlety is, and after waiting for a long time to see William's introduction, she asked directly.

"Oh, Aunt Anne, this is my cousin, Princess Elisabeth from Hesse. Ella, this is Aunt Anne, the Earl of Le Flace from England. William was visibly flustered when he made the introduction.

The Crown Prince, who had recently been fascinated by the English early morning walking exercise with Mr. Babbage, first saw the glittering jewel of Elizabeth's left hand as soon as he walked into the dining room, and then heard the dry introduction of his son, and couldn't help but smile and quip, "Willy, is Ella just your cousin?" ”

"We can see that beautiful ring, dare to give the ring, is it so difficult to admit it?" Teacher Elizabeth, who is also called Elizabeth, is not particularly satisfied with William's twisting performance.

Princess Victoria, who was sitting next to Mr. Patrick, also looked at her cousin with crooked eyes, and after hearing Elizabeth's dissatisfaction, she also asked in agreement, "That's it, we've all seen the ring, Willie, have you already proposed?" ”

For some reason, Joey's sister, Princess Victoria, suddenly became interested in Mr. Parsons and Mr. Patrick's Love Boat project, and ran to the project team all day long, and became much more cheerful, daring to laugh at her brother and sister in front of everyone.

Sophie and Princess Margaret, fearing that no one would notice them, shouted in unison, "Cousin Ella, your ring is so beautiful!" Don't hide it! ”

In the midst of the noise, the lovers William and Elizabeth were a little overwhelmed by the laughter of everyone. Suddenly, William felt a hand on his shoulder, and then his mother's gentle voice brought him out of the chaos, "Willie, take Ella's hand and announce your good news to everyone, be brave!" ”

With a strong right hand and a slender left hand, ten fingers clasped, William pulled Elizabeth and told everyone at the early morning table a story about the promise of love, and bravely admitted his promise of love to Princess Elizabeth.

The story of the diamond ring that has been tempered thousands of times. With a strong brainwashing ability, even people like Crown Prince Victoria and Aunt Anne, who have been married for decades, feel a little confused, let alone those young noble ladies.

As soon as William's story ended, Stallin couldn't help but say, "Jojo, Dirk, I think the future of the Foundation must consider the fingers and necks of the ladies, I have never seen a woman who can be immune to the charm of jewelry." ”

Listening to the advice of his best friend, and seeing that the story of the diamond ring he brought was so popular, Joey suddenly wondered if the South African diamond mine was going to be a good kick. The famous imperialist, the predator of the three months' wages of men all over the world, Cecil Rhodes' diamond company seems to have been founded in the past two years.

But Mr. Parsons's words made Joey's mood change from wanting to intervene to kicking.

"Elizabeth, this story is fantastic, I think it's perfect with artificial diamonds." Mr. Parsons challenged Joey's nerves with these words.

Joey, who was just about to lift his foot, suddenly thought of a question, "I have always wanted to plot to bring trouble to Britain through the Boers, but after creating trouble, what good can Germany do?!" ”

"It is impossible for Germany to get involved in a full-scale conflict with Great Britain for the sake of the irrelevant Boers, so the future war will be at most moral support, but morality without the deterrence of force is empty talk. Empty talk doesn't make any sense, and it's worse than not doing anything. ”

"In any case, through this war, the Boers will eventually be settled, and no one in this world can independently challenge the British Empire, since I know the outcome of the Boer War, is it necessary to support the Boers? How should I benefit Germany? ”

"To make a profit, you must always be on the side of the winner. Based on this truth, it seems that we are looking for an opportunity to meet Cecil Rhodes, the British Empire's fivepence maker! Friendship should be early! ”

Just when Joey's thoughts began to diverge again, Mr. Elizabeth taught Mr. Parsons a lesson for Joey, looking at Mr. Parsons's cheeky confession, Mr. Elizabeth said coldly, "A man who is not dedicated to things is usually a guy who is not dedicated emotionally!" Willie's promise of love, but a commitment to one thing, as for you, hum! ”

Hearing this, Joey grinned silently, and couldn't help but praise in his heart, "Well done, Teacher Elizabeth!" Now the speed of his love boat plan will definitely be accelerated! ”

Dreyer, who saw this scene next to him, lowered his face and whispered, "It's over, my sister is training people like this, it shows who she cares about, as a natural Oxford, if there is a brother-in-law in Cambridge.... That's not necessarily a good thing. ”

"Hey, Dirk, stay in Germany, how about we go to the University of Berlin together?" Joey heard the muttering of his dead friend and immediately persuaded him.

"That's right, Dirk stays, we can be friends for life, although Joey is not very good, but being friends is quite reliable, I don't even say it!" Storling immediately joined in, and joined Joey in persuading him.

"Hehe, I like it here too, I have met more friends in the past month than I have in the past ten years." Dirk looked at the two buddies and laughed, then looked at Joey and said, "Besides, I still get paid every month, right, Jojo." ”

"What, Dirk has a salary?! Jojo, you black-hearted fellow, why didn't I! Storling stopped hearing this.

"My dear nephew, Dirk receives his salary for his invention, he has provided the Foundation with an important invention, which has now been ordered by the Royal German Navy, and according to the agreement, I must pay Dirk." Joey explained with his hands outstretched.

"Invention? ...... Does my godfather's invention count! Storling thought and thought, and suddenly asked unconvinced.

"Your Godfather?!" Joey and Dreyer stared at each other, and said in their hearts, "Thomas's operation is a bit level, and he can actually count the godfather's invention on his own head, which is really hard!" ”

"Thomas, the invention is your godfather's, and Joey is going to pay your godfather, obviously you can't get it." Dreyer couldn't help but remind, looking at the unwilling Stolin, he couldn't help but say to Joey, "Jojo, Thomas has to work for the Foundation after all, and we just brought Ginter and William in yesterday, I think it's also necessary to give them a salary." ”

This reason is very good, and Joey immediately agreed without hesitation, directly saying that the salary level of Storling, as well as the other two sworn friends, must be commensurate with his status.

Looking at the smiling Stoling, Joey, who is now extremely sensitive to the word invention, asked the ghost, "Thomas, who is your godfather, and what are your inventions?" ”

After Stoling happily swallowed a mouthful of scrambled eggs, he said with a smile, "My godfather's name is Carl Paul Gottfried Lind, and my father wrote that he was going to come to Berlin with several of his inventions in the past two days to look for investment, and I only know that one of my godfather's inventions is called the refrigerator, and I have one at home in Magdeburg." ”

The words "Linde, refrigerator" hit Joey's brain, and Joey blinked his eyes diligently, and whispered cautiously, "Your godfather is from Munich?" He is a professor of mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich and has an engineering laboratory? ”

"Yes, Jojo, how do you know so clearly?!" Stallin was puzzled.

"Do you know Rudolf Diesel?"

"Yes, my godfather's student."

"Thomas, your godfather came to Berlin that day and invited him to the palace, and I want to invest in his project!" Joey grabbed Stoling excitedly and said vigorously, "Thomas, this thing is done, I'll give you a bonus!" ”

"Jojo, are you optimistic about my godfather's invention?!" Stallin was a little surprised, "The godfather said that his refrigerator was too noisy, and no one wanted to buy it, and this time he came to Berlin to try his luck, and if it didn't work well, he was going back to Munich to continue teaching." Actually, I just ..... I just don't want to lose to Dirk, I don't have a score in my heart about my godfather's invention, Jojo, you can't ...... because of me"

Joey pushed it with his elbow, and Stolin, who was confessing his careful thoughts in a low voice, said with a smile, "Thomas, your godfather's invention is cross-era, this refrigerator is for ordinary people's homes, of course, it is noisy, but it is just right for nobles with many houses!" ”

"Besides, you don't know the greatness of your godfather's research!" Joey said triumphantly to Stolin.

"Great?! Jojo, is this real?! Stallin looked at the smug Joey and asked in disbelief.

"Really? Hi Thomas, I assure you that your godfather, Professor Linde, and his student, Mr. Diesel, will blow the world away! ”

Carl Paul Gottfried von Lind, in 1873, in the era when there was no electricity, invented vapor compression refrigeration technology, and was also the first person in the world to invent the air liquide method, the first person to separate oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, the separation of nitrogen marked the most important step in the ammonia industry.

Vapor compression refrigeration technology was the best refrigeration technology in the 19th century in the age of steam and steel, if it was installed on a cargo ship with steam boilers as the main thing, it would be a fresh cargo transport refrigerated ship, and having such a ship meant that the emergence of a food empire was no longer difficult.

Air liquefaction separation technology is not only used in the synthetic ammonia industry, liquefied carbon dioxide is the best medium for low-temperature preservation technology, and it is also the most important raw material in the Joy beverage kingdom.

The oxygen separated by air liquefaction is not detailed in the field of medical emergency, in the field of treatment of burns, in the field of diving and alpine exploration, and the oxygen blowing method brought by pure oxygen to the field of steel smelting is also an important technology for blast furnace steelmaking.

The most important thing is that the liquefied oxygen technology will open up one of the most important skills in the industrial technology tree: the emergence of oxyacetylene welding technology, and the oxygen used in the oxyacetylene torch invented by the French in 1903 in Joey's previous history was all provided by Linde gas.

It is now recognized that gas welding and electric welding are the two major technologies of metal welding, but before World War I, gas welding was considered the best welding method in the shipbuilding industry, skyscraper construction industry, and other steel structure application industries, after all, arc welding technology was not stable at that time.

At this point, the last piece of the puzzle on Joey's shipbuilding plan has finally been found, as long as it can be put together smoothly, all that remains is to wait for the first order to come to the door.

"I hope that Master Michel Fadrion's ship will bring me good luck!" Joey prayed to himself, "And the second brother, the greatest diplomatic genius in the history of the Hohenzollern family, please come on!" ”

As for Mr. Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine and the proud disciple of Professor Linde, many people have said it, so I won't introduce it here.

"Jojo, you're not bragging, Thomas, his godfather's invention doesn't seem to be appreciated!" Dreyer, however, didn't quite believe Joey's vision.

"Yes, Jojo, you have a precedent for bragging...", Stallin chimed in.

"Bastard, my name is Bull Joe, not a bull shit, it's so damning!" Joey said angrily, and then the three children laughed and made a fuss.

The noise of the three children also fell into the eyes of Crown Princess Victoria, knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, Princess Victoria knows the level of her eldest son's love, behind such a beautiful story, it must be written by her youngest son.

Glancing at Joey, who pretended to be nothing, the crown princess couldn't help but think of the worry that the crown prince said to herself in the early hours of this morning, and couldn't help but smile in her heart, "The stinky boy who can make up this kind of story, and I'm worried that he won't be able to deceive Mary, that good girl, Fritz is really getting older and more careful." ”

In front of everyone, William, who had completely let go of his mentality, began to become extremely brave, and even when he was eating breakfast, his right hand still refused to let go of the left hand of Princess Elizabeth, whose face was flushed.

Looking at the blessed eyes of everyone, William's head was hot, and he got up and announced loudly, "Gentlemen and ladies, in a few days I will invite the Grand Duke of Russia Sergei to come to the Imperial Palace for a banquet. ”
