Chapter 301: Ambassador to Warsaw
Because of Heinrich's education, it was not necessary for Arturas, the prime minister of the kingdom, to come to Warsaw? In fact, this is not the case, because almost everything about Prime Minister Arturas is on Heinrich, even if Crispin, a Heinrich direct official, has been eyeing his position all the time.
Letting Heinrich become the crown prince of Lithuania is almost a matter that Prime Minister Arturas has made promote, it is right for Krisping to stare at the position of prime minister, but he must give Arturas the greatest respect, after all, without Arturas, there would be no current Crown Prince Heinrich, if you want to do something to Arturas, even Jessica will stop it.
Everything on his body was on Heinrich's body, and Arturas naturally attached great importance to the issue of education, and if it was up to a person to say that to Ernst, then Arturas was undoubtedly the first choice, and in fact, after some discussion with Crispin, Arturas also agreed to pull the matter into his own hands.
This matter will undoubtedly offend Jessica, and it stands to reason that it is most appropriate for Chrispin, who is a descendant, to come forward, but given his influence, in the end, only Arturas can be responsible.
At this time, the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom was almost the two most important factions, the first was the local faction headed by Prime Minister Arturas, and the second was the foreign faction headed by the Cabinet Minister and Minister of Education Krisping from the Czech Principality. Don't underestimate a small Ministry of Agriculture, which at this time has considerable influence in the Kingdom of Lithuania.
Alturas's proposal Ernst naturally needed to think about it, and the crown prince's teacher was not something that anyone could do. In particular, his influence on the crown prince is obvious. Ernst had to take into account the Crown Prince's teacher's racial and political biases.
"Arturas. Do you have any recommendations? ”
Just when Ernst frowned and thought, he suddenly saw Arturas waiting quietly, and a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, Arturas naturally had his ideas here, so why not listen to his opinion, in case he has the right candidate, he doesn't have to be so embarrassed.
Arturas had been waiting, but unfortunately Ernst did not speak, and Arturas did not speak directly. After all, this person's identity is a bit special, and if he is not careful, Ernst will misunderstand that he is increasing his influence in the country, and he doesn't want to mess it up if it is a matter of please.
"What do you think, former Minister of Education Brattvet, Your Majesty the King?"
Brattvet? How unfamiliar is Ernst with this person? During the time when he lived in Vilnius, he was always entangled in his side because of the problem of education funding, even Ernst could not help but avoid it, and he was the first person who could make Ernst so embarrassed.
Capable and characterful, but a little stubborn, because Krysping occupies his place, and now Brattvet has been transferred to the Czech Duchy as Minister of Industry. There is a meaning here to weaken Arturas, but it also has a deep meaning to let him exercise a little.
Brattvet is a very capable man. Ernst had great hopes for him, and even unanimously regarded him as a candidate for the prime minister of the Russian Empire, but now that Arturas had put it forward, thinking that he was really a good candidate, he did not hesitate to agree directly.
Will this disrupt the political landscape in Vilnius? Ernst was not too worried, he just transferred Brattvet to Vilnius to serve as Heinrich's teacher and did not mean to let him take any position, Heinrich was still young and had no real contact with political affairs, but he did not have to worry about affecting the political struggle between Arturas and Crispin.
Prime Minister Arturas naturally did not stay long to get what he wanted, and he was not even prepared to spend the night in Warsaw, as the Prime Minister of a country, he naturally had a lot to deal with, especially in this sensitive period, he needed to pay attention to the situation in East Prussia at all times, and be ready to deal with it at any time.
East Prussia was not calm at this time, a large number of citizens were pouring out in all corners, the police were loosely managed, the benefits of the Quadruple Alliance were exported in speeches, Hindenburg had just ascended to the presidency, and it was too late to consolidate his position Where did he bother to bother with East Prussia?
Hindenburg, Mussolini, they almost started a new era, but unfortunately now Hitler is still in prison, otherwise this era would have been completely opened. Of course, even without Hitler, Ernst's impetus could have led to the same result, but Ernst didn't want that day to come so early, otherwise he could take Hitler's place at any time, and the Quadruple Coalition could take Germany's place.
In the 20th century, if there is anyone who is the craziest person in this century, then it is Hitler, which is shown in his new works, he is in prison, but the book "Mein Kampf" dictated by him has begun to be published in Germany, and Ernst, who got the news, also arranged for people to go to Germany to buy a copy as soon as possible.
There is a lot of space in the book to introduce Hitler's diplomatic ideas and concepts, compare and contrast Germany's former foreign policy, and Hitler is also preaching revanchism and racism, "national rejuvenation" to fight for living space, and so on, which also has propaganda and perhaps exaggeration, but this does not deny Hitler's talent.
In a sense, this book established Hitler's position in Germany and gave him a hard reputation, which led to Hitler's rapid rise after his release from prison. Germany's defeat was Hitler's chance, and perhaps the greatest gain of a war was for a Hitler's youth to rise up......
Warsaw, night
Ernst really started to have a headache, he didn't expect that the new Italian prime minister would actually appoint Count Alvaro as his ambassador to Warsaw, when he saw Count Alvaro's face, Ernst's face was very ugly, and at the same time, Count Alvaro's face was not much better.
The previous time was almost Count Alvaro betraying Ernst and betraying the friendship between the two, so he desperately did not want to come to Warsaw again, and even thought that he would never come to Warsaw again in the future, but it backfired, and the appointment of the new Italian prime minister was something that Count Alvaro could not refuse. One thing that the Prime Minister did was very generous, and Count Alvaro did not come to Warsaw alone, but with his family.
In fact, Mussolini was not worried about anything, because he knew that the friendship between the two had collapsed, and now it was impossible for Count Álvaro or Ernst to invite Count Álvaro to move his family to Warsaw, even if Ernst wanted to, the citizens of the Quad Alliance were not willing, after all, they did not want a "villain" to become a member of their country. The current Count of Álvaro has practically no way out, and the only thing he can do is obey the orders of Prime Minister Mussolini.
At a banquet, because of the presence of Count Álvaro, Ernst left directly, and Prince Flanders shrugged helplessly at Count Alvaro and then left the table, Count Álvaro stayed in the venue very disappointed, and the other nobles and officials were sympathetic and contemptuous.
The Royal Palace of Warsaw, in a dark bedroom:
"Because of Count Álvaro?"
Anne's tentative inquiry did not receive any answer, but Anne had received an answer, and in fact she was the first to receive the news of the appointment of Count Álvaro as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Italy to Warsaw, and the source of the news, perhaps surprisingly, was Maria. Maria didn't want Ernst to be upset by this, so she told Anne the news, hoping that she would be able to do something.
Anne's role proved to be almost nil, for Anne could not convince Ernst at all, she had never been the kind of person who was good at comforting, and the only thing she would do was to be by Ernst's side and bear such resentment with him.
"I don't understand, why did he even come here, did he really think I was a benevolent person?"
Maybe it's uncomfortable to hold back, but as soon as he opens his mouth, Anne is startled, what does this mean? Could it be that they are preparing to do it directly against Count Álvaro? It was his friend, almost his only friend, Mara's father!
"Ernst ......"
"Don't worry, he is the Italian ambassador after all, and I won't be impulsive."
casually comforted Anne with a sentence Ernst closed her eyes and prepared to rest, how could Anne sleep? She had a good relationship with Mara, so how could Ernst be reassuring of her?
At this time, Count Álvaro had also returned to the embassy, and after the servants had been dispersed, Count Álvaro sat in his study a little dreary and did not know what to think. A worried Mosetti and Sisters Mara and Adeline quietly appear next to him, along with Adeline's fiancé, Baron Giovanni.
Baron Giovanni is a new nobleman in Italy, he used his great military exploits in exchange for the current title, although not recognized by those old aristocratic families, but basically has the capital to marry, which is why he is engaged to Adeline. Now, of course, he is also a military attaché at the embassy. His current rank is lieutenant colonel, but he believes that with his ability and connections with the Bonaroti family, he will definitely be able to become a general in the future.
"Daddy, maybe ......"
Mara's red eyes were tempted to say something, but she couldn't say anything when she opened her mouth, because she wasn't a child and knew very well what Count Alvaro's choice meant last time. It is impossible to say that Mara did not hate Count Álvaro in the slightest, after all, it was because of him that Mara could never see Ernst again, but she also knew very well that Count Álvaro had made the right choice, because it was also for the sake of the whole family......
