Chapter 211: Charlie's Birth
The matter of the international royal conference has attracted global attention, after all, it involves too many countries and too many interests, and in fact, there are factors that provoke the relationship between Britain and France. Ernst's approach was tantamount to uniting the royal families against the Republics, especially France.
The Bourbons and Napoleons were torn apart, and they undoubtedly wanted to agree to the invitation of the Czech principality, which would not make the French government wary of them? Isn't the international royal council explicitly stating that it will support their repatriation, but this is not a provocation to the French government?
Of course, if it is the Austrian government that is most alarmed now, after all, there are too many traces of the Habsburgs in their country. Now that Karl has agreed to the invitation of the Czech principality, who can guarantee that the flag before the government will not change early tomorrow morning?
Ernst's small gesture touched the hearts of almost all countries around the world, because the international royal council was still being formed, and it was estimated that their first meeting would not be held until five or six months later. At that time, it will be the real lively moment, and I believe that the eyes of countries around the world will be glued to this place.
A total of 46 invitations were issued by the Principality of the Czech Republic, which was an invitation from the House of Lords (Royal House), and the formation of the House of Commons (House of Nobles) would be discussed in detail after the successful formation of the House of Lords.
More than 80 percent of the 39 invitations were accepted on the spot, with a small number of the remaining ones hesitating and others rejecting them outright. But these refusals were not really refused, as they quietly reconnected with the envoys of the Czech principality as they were about to leave.
Most of these are royal families like the Napoleonic family who have lost their territory, and they are jealous of their own government, but they do not want to lose such a good opportunity, so they openly refuse to make secret contacts. To be honest, this kind of thing made Ernst a little entangled, and he didn't know whether he should choose to give up on these people.
The answer was quickly revealed, and most of the kings (archdukes) who had accepted the invitation helped Ernst to decide, and there was no need for them to be with these guys who could not bring them benefits, so refusing meant that they lost their last chance, lost their former honor.
Ernst was a little better, he gave these a chance to choose again, and for those who refused again without giving them a chance to contact secretly, the messenger chose to leave.
In July, just around the corner of summer, the International Royal Assembly was formed, with the 39 kings (Grand Dukes) being the main members of the House of Lords. The same is true of the size of the country, and the same is true of affairs, and many things that are not very big are not worth discussing with the 39 kings (grand dukes), so a standing director must appear.
Ernst proposed to be hired externally, and it was the honour that a German descendant had received a majority of the vote, and he became the executive secretary general and was mainly responsible for the tedious work of the House of Representatives of the International Royal Council. The executive council consisted of several kings (archdukes) of large powers, among whom Ernst was undoubtedly included.
The King of England, the Emperor of Japan, the Grand Duke of the Czech Republic, and the King of Morocco represent Europe, Asia, and Africa respectively, and although there are several kings in North America, their land area is too small, and having them serve as executive directors may cause some controversy, but fortunately they do not have such a demand.
The kings of Germany and Italy could have been elected to the executive council, but unfortunately the kings of Germany had lost their territory and the kings of Italy were beginning to lose control of the country. In fact, the majority of the members of the House of Representatives of the International Royal Assembly are Europeans, after all, most of Africa and Asia are colonies.
The International Royal Council has nothing to do with the state, they are just trying to find a way to protect themselves. The International Royal Council will not be directly involved in the affairs of the state, but they will increase the influence of these kings (grand dukes) and maintain their privileges through investment and international influence.
In the midst of the bustle, the matter of the House of Commons (House of Nobles) was raised, and each king (Grand Duke) tried to recommend the nobles of his country, and they quarreled with each other. The kings of small states and unlanded kings (grand dukes) were a little quieter, because they knew very well that even if they competed on their own, nothing would come of it.
The final result of the debate was that all parties were reluctant to remain quiet, with 150 seats in Europe, 50 in Africa, 80 in Asia, and 20 in the Americas, with a total of 300 nobles recognized by all the countries in the International Royal Council in the first phase, which was the first stage of the globalization of the aristocracy, and their titles were obviously more valuable than before.
A member of the House of Commons of the International Royal Conference, wherever he goes, can proudly call himself an earl or a viscount, because his status and title are recognized by 39 countries. Moreover, these 39 countries include four continents: Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, and the gold content is naturally not a one-day statement.
Although the number of local seats varies, this is based on the actual situation. Asia is now just a few monarchies such as Japan and Thailand, but they have world-renowned aristocrats in their countries? There may be, but there are too many of them, and the aristocracy of Europe is much stronger in terms of influence and capital power.
The International Royal Council is not a welfare organization, it needs to ensure the stability of the monarchy, if it is just some useless nobles, then there is no need for the International Royal Council.
According to simple statistics, the economy directly and indirectly controlled by the House of Commons of the International Royal Conference alone already accounts for more than 60 percent of the world economy, which is a rather terrifying figure. Especially the nobles of the House of Commons, they control the shares of major companies all over the world, both explicitly and implicitly, and the specific wealth is incalculable.
The emergence of the International Royal Council made the republics a little anxious, but at the same time their hostility was not too intense, and the main reason was that the influence of the International Royal Council was at work.
The president of the United States is subject to the wealthy businessmen of the American consortium, and many of the wealthy businessmen are descendants of nobles from England, and now some of them are already members of the House of Commons of the International Royal Conference, and he naturally will not support the affairs of the International Royal Conference.
The same is true of the United States, and the same is true of France, although they do not have a king, but they have a capitalist aristocracy, and these nobles control almost most of the French economy, and what can even be the president of France if they do not agree?
Everything seemed to be going well for the International Royal Conference, even the establishment of the fund and the court was not hindered, which seemed like a good thing, but Ernst always felt that there was a conspiracy in it. But the other party did not show it, and Ernst could only put aside his busy work for the time being.
If the royal family wants to maintain nature, it needs to come down from the altar from above, and the same is true of the Czech principality, the number of Maria attending banquets and charities has gradually increased, and Ernst has also begun to increase the number of events and scenes.
Japan does not dare to do the same thing, because they think that the emperor is the one who is high, and once he comes down, then the emperor has nothing to do, and this is the national condition of different countries, and no one will force the other to do how to do it, of course, even if it is forced, it will not have the slightest effect.
The royal family of the world is one family, and now the International Royal Council is realizing this sentence, but in the process of realizing it, Ernst's wealth began to shrink fiercely. The birthday of the Queen of the Netherlands, the birthday of an African chief, the presence of a young crown prince in Monaco, which of these does not require a gift? Of course, the crown prince of the Czech principality also gave gifts when he was born, and some of them were even worth a lot of money, such as a rare piece of jadeite from the king of Thailand, which was valued at least 50,000 pounds by professionals.
Maria's first child was a boy, and there was no doubt that he was the future Grand Duke of the Czech Republic and Emperor of the Russian Empire, and the glory of the world seemed to be concentrated on him at that moment. With the blood of the royal families of both countries, and at the same time the crown prince of the powerful countries of both countries, he was the undisputed protagonist of Europe in 1920.
Charlie Franz, that's the name of the little one, maybe he will follow in the glory of his ancestors and become a legendary king, but it is also possible that he will be like Archduke Karl to be the last king. Ernst himself could not see what the future would hold, and he no longer had the luxury of looking forward to his descendants.
The little one was born a little late, but fortunately he did not have any congenital diseases, and the doctors in the Chinese medicine hall came to visit Maria and the little one, and said that there was no problem with their health.
Charlie's care is very concerned about Ernst, after all, he is not just a life, but also involves too many interests and people's hearts. It is said that the Russian Empire was very excited to get the news of Charlie's birth, and they feared that one day Ernst would ascend to the throne of the Russian Empire, and Charlie's birth relieved them.
On the day of Charles' birth, both Archduke Ferdinand and Nicholas II came to Prague, and Karl sent his blessings, and Karl did not seem to be jealous of Ernst because of the fact that Mysimilian became king of Hungary. Of course, this is only the surface, in fact, only he knows how he thinks.
It was also the first time that Mesimilian had set foot on the territory of the Czech principality, and his presence in person made Ernst a little excited, after all, it was the first time the two brothers had met after a few years. They seem to be as young as they were when they were young, there is no strangeness between the two sides, and everything seems so natural.
Lord Sophie was very happy, and she kept repeating that her daughter had finally found a younger brother to bully, especially since this brother might also be the future monarch of the Russian Empire and the Czech principality, which made her very proud and proud. Of course, in the process, the Archduchess Sophia naturally inevitably reprimanded.
