Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Tsar's Request

Nicholas II glanced at Ernst, then at Jessica behind him, and with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, he replied, "Very beautiful little girl." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw the vigilance in Ernst's eyes, and the misunderstood Nicholas II couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, is he like the kind of person who likes to rob juniors and like girls?

Nicholas II did not explain, but asked Ernst very seriously: "Do you think it is worth it?" ”

"Of the people who can help, I only know you."

Ernst also did not answer the question, but Nicholas II understood what he meant, nodded and said no more. It was a small, small matter that it was a matter of little effort, and it was not a matter of indebtedness to Ernst.

"No smart man would do that, Ernst."

Nicholas II did not refuse, he only mentioned Ernst with some kindness, but Ernst also had his own reasons for this, and it was very sufficient to leave Nicholas II speechless.

"I'm only seven years old, and I'm sure you went through something similar when you were 18."

Ernst naturally said casually, Edward VIII gave up the throne for a woman, and King Zhou You gave up the entire country for a woman, although the wiser emperors could not do such a thing, but I believe they must also have their own emotional regrets.

Sure enough, Ernst's words made Nicholas II deeply distracted, and he recalled his love experience, that youthful and beautiful youth.

After a while, Nicholas II opened his eyes, he looked at Ernst with a snickering face and nodded helplessly: "You convinced me, Ernst." ”

Jessica was excited, but she didn't dare to show it too much, knowing that the person standing in front of her now was the emperor of the Russian Empire, the largest country in Europe.

Although it was guessed that Nicholas II would not refuse, Ernst couldn't help but be a little surprised when things were in front of him, if he was replaced by Archduke Ferdinand, then he would definitely refuse to help.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Nicholas II!"

"Don't rush to thank me, I have a request."

"Request, what request?"

Ernst was a little surprised, he didn't think that he had a place to help Nicholas II, after all, the other party was an emperor with a population of tens of millions, and the population of his territory was only a thousand people.

"I hope to be able to build a railway from Warsaw to Moravia, which is also good for Moravia, I believe you will not refuse!"

Nicholas II's words surprised Ernst, and his face changed slightly to look at Nicholas II, but what did he see? It was the smile of Nicholas II as if he had seen something.

Still, Ernst knew that he had been tricked by Nicholas II into giving him some information, even if it did not come from Archduke Ferdinand.

The matter is simple, the railway was an important basis for military transport, and the construction of a railway from Warsaw to Moravia, Ernst's first thought was that Nicholas knew the intentions of the German Empire and Austria-Hungary.

His panic was completely seen by Nicholas II, in fact, Nicholas II was just a casual temptation, he did not think that such an important thing Ferdinand would tell Ernst, but the truth was ......

If he could, Ernst would rather have a worse historical foundation, so bad that he did not know the First World War and the Allies, otherwise he would not have invisibly made the Russian Empire start to be on guard.

At this point, there was no need to say more, and Ernst said in a very frustrated mood: "I need permission from Vienna for the railway, after all, such a thing is not up to me." ”

"I'm just saying it casually, and if you don't agree then you can change it to other conditions."

Ernst, who was somewhat distracted, did not realize that Nicholas II had invisibly made Ernst silently owe a request.

"On what terms?"

"It's not suitable yet, I just hope that you don't refuse by that time!"

By this time Ernst had come to his senses, and when he heard that his face was very ugly, he knew that he had fallen into the trap of Nicholas II.

"If I don't say yes......"

"Then I'll meet Cousin Edward tonight, I'm sure he'll be very interested."

Although she knew that the other party would not do this, Ernst still gritted her teeth and agreed to Nicholas's request, Jessica did not understand the confrontation between the two, and in her opinion, Nicholas II was undoubtedly a good person.

Leaving the residence of Nicholas II, Ernst, who was already in no mood, asked Cosimo to send Jessica back, while he returned to his room and saw no one.

Jessica's strange appearance is finally discovered by Jessica, but she has no intention of caring about this, and her only relationship with Ernst is that Ernst is half of her father's lifesaver. Yes, even half, because Ernst can only be regarded as an intermediary, and at the same time he also reaps a lot of benefits (Lanting prologue, money).

In the room, Ernst was a little panicked, he was not afraid to change history, but he was afraid that Archduke Ferdinand and the Habsburgs would have an accident because of this.

It was only after a few hours that Ernst walked out of the room under the concerned gaze of many servants, and the Sophie lord obviously wanted to ask something, but hesitated but did not speak. She remembered what Archduke Ferdinand had said, and there were some things that her daughter's family should know.

The first time Lord Sophie saw Ernst like this, she took it for granted that she shouldn't have known about it, so she wisely chose to remain silent.

At this moment, Ernst had actually figured out how bad things could be, no matter how bad they were. Archduke Ferdinand died early and Austria-Hungary fell early?

Everything doesn't matter, after all, he has prepared a way out for himself, and the worst can guarantee a lifetime of glory and wealth and a life superior to that of ordinary nobles. Austria-Hungary was not the only Habsburg Empire, and there were so many places he could go to.

This closed-door contemplation also gave Ernst a little benefit, since history is likely to change, so why not help him? Maybe...... Things are going to work out for the better!

Throne...... Maybe it's not that far-fetched.
