Chapter 273: Military Reunification
There was a lot of confusion in my heart, but it didn't matter anymore, because the outcome of the matter would naturally be revealed at that time, and what Ernst and Massena needed to pay attention to now was the Warsaw meeting, and Ernst had to tell them the main content of the meeting in advance at this time.
"Military unification of the Quadruple Alliance?"
When Ernst came up with the whole thing, Massena was in a state of stupefaction, which was indeed a good thing, but at the same time it was too easy to attract the attention of England and France, and they would agree to such a threatening proposal?
As if knowing what Massena was thinking, Ernst stared into his eyes and said only one sentence: "The affairs of the Czech principality need to be agreed upon by Britain and France?" The only thing they can limit us is the economy, whether it is Britain and France or us, but they do not want the United States to continue to be strong. ”
Britain is still the first in the world now, but if the war between the Czech Duchy and Britain and France starts, even if it is Britain and France that win in the end, Britain and France are still capable of competing with the United States at that time? The Washington Conference was about to begin, and the main content of the meeting was nothing more than the fact that the Great Powers began to challenge Britain for his maritime supremacy, and at this time the United States could pose a far greater threat to Britain than the Czech principality.
Massena also thought of this, and he had to nod his head at this, this is indeed a very good opportunity, the dissatisfaction of Britain and France is at most to keep it in words, and the actual action is that the Czech principality gives them the opportunity Britain and France will not take the initiative to go to war.
"This time, there are also several Polish and Japanese generals who have just surrendered, as well as three chieftains who have taken refuge in Kazakhstan, and the goal of the future four-nation alliance is Slovakia, Kazakhstan, and East Prussia!"
Pointing to the three countries and regions on the map, Ernst's eyes were very resolute. Of course, at the same time, it also made Archduke Ferdinand, Flender, and Massena very excited. Because by that time the Czech principality really had the qualifications for direct confrontation with Britain and France. At the end of the meeting, however, Massena glanced at Mesimilian with some concern. At this, Mesimilian laughed and showed his attitude to leave.
Just when Massena was a little confused, a hand patted him on the shoulder, and at this time only Ernst could make such an action, but he patted Massena on the shoulder just to explain: "Mesimilian is my brother after all, and Hungary is still the land of the Habsburgs after all!" ”
After all, the two made Massena suddenly understand, and what he was worried about was that the military unification of the four kingdoms would cause Messiilian's dissatisfaction, after all, then all the military power would be placed in the hands of Ernst, and it would be very taboo for any king to let such a thing go. But now it seems......
With the arrival of Maria, soon the farthest Russian Stennis. Gross and his party had arrived, they were directly on the Soviet train, and at this time the Soviet government, which had just been defeated, did not dare to refuse any demands of the Quadruple Alliance, especially since it was not a very important matter.
Stennis. Gross, Scherna, several chieftains from Kazakhstan, Yu Zhanshan, and ...... the Russians were the largest, with a total of thirty-six people, which was a huge team, after all, they each had their own guards, assistants, adjutants, counting those people. The team has exceeded 200 people.
Many of them are visiting Europe for the first time, and the unique scenery is very rare for them. Although most of these people have seen typical Russian style architecture, there are some differences between Eastern European architecture and the Russian Empire, and Warsaw can be regarded as a casual brick to kill a general or minister.
The Warsaw Conference was preceded by a general banquet, which was mainly for many people who had never met the Grand Duke and Queen of the Czech Republic to meet with Ernst and Maria, and the first Prime Minister of Eastern Europe, Massena, was naturally in charge of the banquet.
With four prime ministers, more than 40 ministerial-level senior officials, and more than 100 generals, such a lineup is really a bit shocking, but doesn't this symbolize the re-emergence of the Habsburgs? Of course, in fact, the status of the Habsburgs in Eastern Europe never declined, but with the end of the First World War, the international status of the Habsburgs declined somewhat.
Salute one by one and then leave, this kind of banquet is actually not the first time Ernst has participated, so he has become accustomed to it, but when he met the three Kazakh chieftains, the Warsaw generals, and the Japanese Chinese generals, Ernst still encouraged them a lot, which made these guys who had just taken refuge in the country more or less excited, after all, this was the encouragement of the "King of Eastern Europe".
After the ceremony, everyone scattered and walked freely, this is a good opportunity to integrate, so whether it is the Kazakh chieftain or those generals are looking for the target they want to contact, after all, it is the generals and the refuge that they have come over, they put themselves very low, where have the Czech, Hungarian, and Lithuanian officials and generals with distinct ranks have encountered such a thing, and the two sides are also happy.
Yu Zhanshan found a major general of the Royal Czech Army, Yu Zhanshan was already the rank of lieutenant general of the Russian Empire at this time, although the country is different, who does not know that the Russian Empire is the Czech principality? In the face of the deliberate flattery of a lieutenant general, even if the other party is a demoted general, the Czech major general seems very restrained.
The Czech major general admired Yu Zhanshan's cunning and various strategies, while Yu Zhanshan envied the other party's cooperation with different branches of the military, although the two communicated very stumblingly (Yu Zhanshan did not understand German and the major general only knew a little Chinese), but this did not prevent the two from becoming very good friends.
"What kind of wine is this?"
"Moravian wine? One of the finest wines in Europe, Moravia was also the domain of His Majesty the Grand Duke. ”
Yu Zhanshan originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect that this red wine would have such a big history, and hurriedly said a good thing, the major general was a sincere person, and he really thought that Yu Zhanshan liked it very much, so the generous promise was equivalent to giving him a box when Zhanshan left.
The same situation appeared in many places at the banquet, and these generals and officials from East Asia were also sincerely friendly with them, and the appearance of unity in front of him was very comforting to Ernst, until Schellner's arrival.
This time the Warsaw Conference Schellner almost pulled most of the high-ranking members of the military group to arrive, his purpose was to prepare to wipe out these people, and in the morning Schellner had already told Ernst his purpose through an intelligence officer, Ernst was really surprised by this, could it be that Schellner had been selfless to this extent?
However, a letter from Nicholas II made Ernst somewhat understand that in fact, Schellner could no longer see hope, and he himself was a person who knew how to advance and retreat, and naturally no longer insisted on seeing this picture. Of course, one of the most important points is that he really has a deep affection for the Russian Empire and does not want the good situation to be ruined like this.
"Your Majesty, if you can, I hope you can keep some of my powers, I am a soldier, and the life of a rich man is really not for me......"
It's not that Schellner regretted it, everything he saw today made Schellner very unwilling to live like this, after all, he was only in his thirties, and it was the time of his youth. A few years of hard work were not for pleasure, he wanted the kind of life of a golden iron horse, and if he could, he could stay in the Czech principality or the Kingdom of Lithuania.
Schellner wanted Ernst very clearly, but he was also very hesitant, Schellner was indeed a military talent, but his relationship with Nicholas II was very worrying to Ernst, was this Nicholas II's idea, deliberately let Schellner give up everything in Russia and come to the Czech Duchy to facilitate Nicholas II?
Any king is suspicious, because the pressure he is under is indeed very great, after all, the lives and lives of thousands of people are in your hands, and the king is a duty rather than a pleasure.
"I need a guarantee, and if you can give me that assurance, then I'm willing to give you another chance."
After thinking about it for a while, Ernst decided to give Schellner a chance, after all, the Czech Duchy was his own territory, even if Nicholas II and Schellner combined, what could they do? Will they still be able to make Prague a mess? In fact, Ernst also made the right choice, because Schellner really didn't have anything on his mind, and even his request was unknown to Nicholas II.
Of course, if Nicholas II knew then it is very likely that he would block it, after all, at this time he did not want to provoke Ernst, Charles, who has his blood, is already the Czech Crown Prince and the Crown Prince of the Russian Empire, and now everything Nicholas II is very satisfied, he has said more than once that the most correct thing in this life is to have Maria as a daughter and marry Maria to Ernst.
Nicholas II was a man who refused to admit defeat, but when facing Archduke Ferdinand, he sincerely conceded defeat for the first time, who let him not have a son like Ernst, who hung like a bright star in the sky when the Habsburgs were about to fall, and brought the Habsburgs back to the top.
The German Empire used Austria-Hungary in World War I, but the final result was that the Habsburgs had the last laugh, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had fallen, but now it was more powerful to the Czech Duchy and the Quadruple Alliance.
In the midst of all the antiquity, the Warsaw Conference was about to take place, and Ernst took another step towards the goal of symbolizing the uncrowned king of Dongou City, and this step was also very stable, and there was nothing to stop around, and he was looking forward to it...... The Warsaw Conference revealed the tip of its iceberg.
At the same time, Britain, the United States, Japan, France, Italy, China, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Belgium are about to go to Washington to hold the "Washington Conference." (To be continued.) )
