.“ Aha, Sasha, my beautiful little princess! ”

Chen Tian opened his arms and received his daughter who had just returned from a long trip with the broad heart of a father.

It can be seen that the experience of traveling around the world has made Sasha mature a lot, the original fair and delicate skin has more traces of sunshine, the blue eyes are much fuller, the elegant temperament has added a bit of calmness, the original melancholy eyes have been integrated into more realistic things, plus a simple, not grandiose beige dress, such a princess is what the whole of Germany expects.

Behind Chentian, Ruprecht father and son looked at the reunited father and daughter in front of them with a smile.

Of course, more attention is given to the princess Sasha, who is in her prime, in a prominent position, and is deeply loved by the German emperor.

After a little exchange, Chen Tian took Sasha to Ruprecht, and although they were all familiar faces, Sasha still gave a standard and elegant female aristocratic salute without any hints.

"I have seen His Majesty the King of Britain, and I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Britain!"

When Mitchell kissed the back of Sasha's hand, Chen Tian obviously saw that the prince's eyes were full of love, and Sasha smiled and accepted it, but this expression did not mean anything.

After finishing the court meeting ceremony, Chen Tian said: "Well, there are still two hours before the banquet starts, and His Majesty Robert I and I still have some important matters to discuss, Sasha, you can accompany His Royal Highness Mitchell around!" ”

"Yes, Father!" Sasha accepted briskly.

Ruprecht and Chentian looked at each other and smiled, and walked side by side towards the door, leaving only two shy young men to stay there, and Chentian didn't need to worry about the rest of the matter.

"It's nice to be young!"

After going out, Ruprecht, who was the king of Britain, said something a little clueless.

"Huh?" Chen Tian turned his head to look at him, but his footsteps did not stop.

Ruprecht said "um" very seriously, he was born in 1861 and is exactly 60 years old this year, and Chentian, who is 11 years younger than him, is forty and seven years old this year, although he has entered middle age. But for a monarch and commander, it is just the golden age, so Napoleon's death at the age of 52 has become a matter of great regret for countless military fans, and the real cause of his death has become a major historical suspense that is still widely discussed.

"A healthy body, a vast ideal, and by the way, romantic love!" Chen Tian's tone was a little envious, in fact, the benefits of being young are not only these, vigorous energy, and unbridled imagination. And that hard work.

Ruprecht also looked very envious, "Yes, people are old, their reactions are sluggish, and their bodies are not flexible!" Of course, Your Majesty is not among them! ”

"Oh?" Chen Tian turned his head again and smiled indifferently, "You're really still talking about me!"

How? Do you think there's something wrong with this? ”

Ruprecht shook his head and continued to walk forward, "Actually, there is no such thing as a political marriage that is right or wrong! It's just that. His Majesty has not been married again for more than ten years. Think about the stability of the royal family and the country! ”

"What a bosom friend...... Chen Tian said with emotion, "Most people in the world think that it is commendable to love their wives, but they don't have to be alone!" But they didn't think about it. If I had married 10 years ago, the children of my second wife would have been 7 or 8 years old, and in another 10 or 20 years, the succession to the throne will be full of certain variables, which is not a good thing for the country! ”

"Alas, there are not many well-intentioned kings in the world like Your Majesty!" Ruprecht shook his head again, but this time it was never in the negative. His first wife died in 1912, but it was nine years before he married his second and present wife, who added him a son and four daughters, who are still very young. But the closest to the British throne were Mitchell and his brother Rudolph. From today's point of view, Ruprecht can't help but admire Chentian a little, because no one can make any idea about the succession to the throne of the German Empire.

"It's not so much good intentions as being happy to be quiet! Besides, the past ten years have been completely devoted to the country's military and political affairs, and the results are still worth rejoicing! So ......"

"So now it's time to find a life partner! Well...... Your Majesty is indeed wise! Ruprecht deliberately dragged the "uh-huh" sound to the old elders.

"Ahem, Your Majesty seems to be embarrassed!"

"How dare you!"

Chen Tian and Ruprecht sang and harmonized, and the atmosphere of the conversation quickly changed from deep to normal relaxation, and the protagonist they were talking about. At this time, he was in the luxury carriage of a special train running through Germany.

"Mary, you really don't eat a bite?" Looking at the food on the table and her melancholy daughter, the young lady sighed helplessly, and after sending the attendants beside her, she sat down gently beside her daughter.

"Mary, I know it's a little unfair to you, but there's nothing wrong with William, except for being a little older! Looking at the whole world, there is no country that can match . William's Germany was confronted, even if it was Alexander. He did what he didn't do, and this ......"

"Mother!" The young and beautiful girl interrupted the noblewoman's words, her voice was actually pleasant, but the gentleness of this moment was evidently weak, as pitiful as her pretty face, which was almost bloodless.

"Mother, daughter is not disgusted. Kaiser Wilhelm, it can even be said that he was the first idol of his daughter since the age of Titi! But ...... "The daughter turned her face away, and tears slipped down her smooth skin.

"Bain is a good boy, and he should be a good husband and a good general in the future, but Mary, your fate is always linked to the whole of Holland, this is an unchangeable fact!

Only you can consolidate the position of the Netherlands in Europe, safeguard the interests of the Netherlands in the Far East, and ensure the survival of millions of Dutchmen. As she spoke, the young lady's words became more and more excited.

"Mother......" The girl finally couldn't help but cry in the arms of the noblewoman.

"Good boy, the people will be proud of you!" The lady stroked the young girl's black hair over and over again until she fell asleep.

"Bain ......," the girl whispered in her dream.

May 20, 1929, was a very important day for the German royal family, the German government and the more than 90 million native citizens of Germany. On this day, the Queen of the Netherlands. Wilhelmina and her entourage arrived in Potsdam by special train, and the object of much attention was her 20-year-old daughter, Princess Juliana, the heir to the Dutch throne, because just a month earlier, the German royal family had requested a marriage to the Dutch royal family. And the Dutch's trip was the most positive response.

The first time Chen Tian met Princess Juliana was when she made a friendly visit to the Netherlands 8 years ago, when little Mary was still a 12-year-old child, time flies, the temples of the former Prince Charming have climbed the traces of time, and the lovely little girl has become a beautiful and generous, graceful little princess. - Yes, the German royal family proposed a marriage, and the woman was the Dutch princess Juliana Louise Emma. Mary. Wilhelmina. The man is the monarch of the German Empire, Gianlugi Wilhelm III, an "old man" with a pair of children under his knees, and the one who wears the "heaviest crown" in the world.

As far as the relationship between Germany and the Netherlands is concerned, it is not surprising that there is such a "political marriage", although the difference between the two parties is 27 years, it is far from setting a European record, but the war in the Far East is currently in full swing, and the marriage between Germany and the Netherlands makes people think more or less - the Dutch East Indies were transferred to the protection of Germany because of the "invasion" of the Japanese army, and if Germany can defeat Japan victoriously, then the former Dutch East Indies, which has rich rubber and oil resources, will continue to be "protected" by Germany Or return to Dutch rule. Was the union of the German Emperor and the Dutch princess because the matter would be settled in a very good way?

First look after a few years. Juliana, who wore light makeup, did not make Chen Tian feel amazing, the vicissitudes of life had already made the restlessness of youth go with the wind, and his state of mind at this time became calmer than the breezy lake. If there is anything else that can make waves in his heart, it is only the safety of his children and the battle ahead.

"I have seen His Majesty the German Emperor!"

Juliana's voice was soft, but it was still loud enough for the supreme monarch in front of her to hear.

Chen Tian leaned down and kissed the back of the other party's hand, and what entered his nose was a light fragrance unique to a girl, and Sasha also had a similar taste, but this was completely different for Chen Tian.

After the ceremonial ceremony, the royal attendants of both sides conveyed the opinions of the two monarchs back and forth, and apart from the cumbersome court language, it was not fundamentally different from the marriage agreed between ordinary families.

"My Emperor has great admiration for Her Royal Highness the Princess of your country, if your country agrees. My emperor is willing to marry Her Royal Highness the princess as soon as possible! ”

"It is a great honor for my King and Princess to be favored by His Majesty the Emperor of your country! Now that Your Majesty has made a marriage invitation, my king is willing to continue to maintain the intimate relationship between our country and your country! ”

"My emperor hopes to complete the marriage before the end of the summer, and the details of the arrangements will be reviewed by Her Majesty the Queen!"

"My king very much agrees, if there is no special request from your country, my country thinks that it is advisable to arrange the marriage in mid-July!"

"My emperor agrees very much, so the marriage contract is originally scheduled for July 16, if you need to change it, the two parties will negotiate again!"

"My king agrees!"

In the presence of the main royal family members of both sides, as well as the King and Crown Prince of Britain, the German royal family and the Dutch royal family were soon engaged. It was agreed that it would be announced to the outside world the next day. As one might expect, such a heavyweight marriage soothed the nerves of the Germans to a great extent because of the war, and for the next few days the German press was filled with words of praise and blessings, and even many soldiers who fought on the front line sent distant and precious wishes.

Of course, Chen Tian will not let go of this great opportunity to boost morale, he announced a day off in Germany, and on the other hand, he called on the German people to continue to contribute to winning this just war, and for the first time announced a strategic plan to end the war before the summer.

Perhaps it was the good fortune of the Emperor's engagement, or the determination of the officers and men at the front to pay a generous gift to the people they respected most, in the last week of May, the combined German-Turkish fleet first broke into the Gulf of Thailand and crushed the Malay task force commanded by Vice Admiral Morihiro Ouchida in one fell swoop, and then the German-Turkish Combined Expeditionary Force, with the cooperation of the fleet, drove the Japanese ground forces holding the Malay Peninsula out to sea, and occupied Kuala Lumpur on May 29, and Singapore two days later. The remnants of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia were forced to abandon the Spratly Islands and withdraw to the Philippines.

As the German casualties continued to increase, the Japanese were able to push the front further inland, and by May 25 the Japanese had advanced to an area 15 kilometers from the port of Korsakov, and the Japanese were preparing to repeat the scene of the bombardment of the port of Arthur in the Russo-Japanese battle of Arthur, that is, the delivery of land-based large-caliber artillery to the island and the long-range bombardment of the German fleet in the port of Korsakov, in addition to stepping up the transport of tank troops to the island, that is, the bombardment of the port of Arthur by the Japanese, that is, the delivery of land-based large-caliber artillery to the island and the long-range bombardment of the German fleet in the port of Korsakov, However, after receiving orders from the High Command, Luftwaffe units based on several islands such as Shinchi Island began to intensively bomb the Japanese landing troops and troops and supplies gathered in Hokkaido, and the German fleet moving south also began to threaten the Japanese landing ships in the Soya Strait. At the same time, the Hipper's fleet, which had been resting in Qingdao for a week, set sail again, this time aiming directly at the southeast coast of Japan, a move that allowed the Japanese 1st Fleet, which was preparing to increase its troops to the north, to continue to garrison the Sasebo military port.

After a week of preparations, a grand engagement banquet was finally held at Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, attended by almost all members of the German royal family, government dignitaries and senior generals of the three armed forces, members of the Dutch royal family and many noble dignitaries, and important envoys from various European countries came to congratulate them.

After a week of getting along, Chen Tian and Princess Mary are finally more familiar than before, but the age gap between the two still makes Chen Tian feel a little awkward, there is no "generation gap" in this era, and the two can still chat when they are together, although the fluency of this chat is really not flattering.

In the past, Chen Tian definitely didn't dare to imagine that he would become a "victim" of a political marriage, but now he was able to accept all this calmly, and put on an engagement ring for his young fiancée in the limelight, but for some reason, this scene reminded him of a movie a long, long time ago - "My Wife is Under 18 Years Old".
