Chapter 139: The Big Wedding
Qin Tian stayed in Königsberg for half a year, and did not leave until the reorganization of the 8th Army was completed. www.biquge.info Although the German Arms Company has not yet produced all the weapons and equipment needed by the 8th Army Corps, it will be able to arm the 8th Army to the teeth by the end of the year at the latest. When the time comes, the firepower of the 8th Army Corps will be overwhelming the entire German Army, and even the world.
Under such circumstances, it would no longer be interesting for Qin Tian to stay in Königsberg. The training of the troops was left to Admiral Hindenburg and Major General Ludendorff. Yes, before leaving Königsberg, Qin Tian used his connections to once again let Ludendorff get a promotion and become a major general. In addition, the word "generation" was removed, and he was officially appointed chief of staff of the 8th Army Corps.
There is another important reason why Qin Tian returned to Berlin, that is, Princess Gondrind's eighteenth birthday is approaching. This means that their wedding date is approaching.
Although Qin Tian was busy with official business and had little time with Princess Gondelinde, Princess Gondelind did not complain and had been supporting Qin Tian's work, which made Qin Tian very moved.
On August 12, 1909, Princess Gondelind's eighteenth birthday banquet was held in Munich, and Qin Tian rushed to Munich in person. Their wedding date has been confirmed, and that is a month later.
The Crown Prince's marriage to a Bavarian princess was a big deal for the entire German Empire. Although, there are still many aristocratic ladies who are angry about Qin Tian's choice of Princess Gondelinde. However, this is something that no one can change.
On September 18, the newly completed Berlin Cathedral was attended by the German Empire's elite aristocracy, celebrities, and high-ranking government and military generals. Other countries also sent special envoys or envoys to Germany to attend the wedding as representatives. Even the Allied member states, whose relations with the German Empire were increasingly strained, sent their best wishes for the wedding.
The bishop of the Diocese of Berlin officiated at the wedding of Qin Tian and Princess Gondelinde. Of course, if Qin Tian was willing, he could even invite the Pope of Rome to officiate at his wedding. It's just that Qin Tian is too lazy to bother.
Qin Tian, dressed in military uniform, was waiting for his bride. When King Ludwig III appeared in the church with Princess Gondelind in his arms and put her hand on Qin Tian's hand, Qin Tian felt something called responsibility. From now on, he is no longer alone, he still has a wife to love, and in the future, they will have many children. Therefore, Qin Tian no longer lives for himself, nor does he live to change the fate of the German Empire, but for his family.
"Oscar, Gondelind is my favorite little daughter. Now, I'll give her to you. I hope you will love her for the rest of your life! "King Ludwig III is not at all like a king, but a father who loves his daughter.
"Father-in-law, I swear to God that I love Gundelind more than I love my own life!" Qin Tian's face was sincere.
Ludwig III nodded at this time, and handed over Princess Gondlinde to Qin Tian with confidence.
The wedding proceeds step by step according to the predetermined process.
Under the witness of God, Qin Tian and Princess Gondelind exchanged rings and officially became husband and wife. When the two kissed together, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"Honey, Oscar is also married, and I'm so happy for him. Watching the children start a family one by one, I have a feeling that I am old. Empress Victoria's eyes were red.
"No, dear, you're not old at all. Oscar is our most outstanding son, and we should be happy for him to be able to find his own happiness. "Wilhelm II embraced his own queen.
For Qin Tian, the imperial crown prince, or the acting crown prince, Wilhelm II became more and more satisfied. Although, Qin Tian and Moltke are very stiff, which shows the weakness in dealing with interpersonal relationships. But Qin Tian's achievements also shocked Wilhelm II. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was the case, even if it was him, at this age, it would be impossible to do better than Qin Tian. Not to mention Crown Prince William, who has always been valued by him. Nothing but big talk.
Wilhelm II is also considering whether to remove the word 'generation' from Qin Tian's head at the right time and make him the real imperial crown prince.
After the wedding ceremony, there is a grand banquet. Qin Tian and Princess Gondelinde, the newcomers, have undoubtedly become the objects of attention of the audience. With smiles on their faces, they toasted those who sent them their blessings. After a banquet, Qin Tian only felt that his face was about to stiffen with laughter.
"Congratulations, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Marshal Count Tirpitz held his wine glass and said to Qin Tian.
"Your Excellency, thank you very much." Qin Tian clinked a glass with Marshal Count Tirpitz.
"Your Highness, it's been a long time since you've paid attention to the Navy, right? After the honeymoon, we'll find time to talk about it in detail. Marshal Count Tirpitz said.
Qin Tian nodded, during this time, his energy was mainly focused on the 8th Army Corps, and the navy did not pay much attention. However, this does not mean that Qin Tian does not attach importance to the navy.
"Your Excellency, I have always been very concerned about the Imperial Navy. When this time is over, let's see you directly at the Deutsche Shipyard. Brut told me two days ago that a secret weapon I asked them to make was done. Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Secret weapon?" Marshal Count Tirpitz suddenly lit up. What can be called a secret weapon by Qin Tian must be a good thing. If it weren't for the wedding scene now, Marshal Count Tirpitz would probably have dragged Qin Tian directly to the shipyard.
Qin Tian didn't say anything, took Princess Gondlinde's hand, and walked towards the other guests.
The grand banquet lasted until late at night. However, Qin Tian and Princess Gondelind left first at nine o'clock in the evening. For them, tonight will be a special night, the so-called Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, naturally it can't be wasted on other people.
Although, Qin Tian and Princess Gondlinde had already secretly eaten the forbidden fruit and broke through the last step. But Qin Tian, who is still Chinese in his bones, is still very much looking forward to the candle night in the cave room.
On this night, Qin Tian and Princess Gondelind had a wonderful night.
