Chapter 322: Europe's Glory Hour
Returning to Qin, Ernst did not stay any longer but prepared to return to Warsaw, which was the real political center of the Quadruple Alliance, and Ernst could not leave Warsaw for too long at this time.
In 1929, in the early days of Japan's invasion of China, Chairman Chiang ignored foreign enemies and single-mindedly dealt with the domestic warlord forces, and the warlords were forced by the Japanese Army outside the country to join forces and go to Nanjing to participate in the reorganization meeting.
If you insist on disobedience, the Japanese will not be so merciful to them, of course, some of them will reluctantly agree, and some of them will adhere to their roots and refuse to compromise. It is conceivable that a new round of civil war is about to begin, and "reunification" is less than four months away from this time.
East Asia has changed a lot, but compared to Europe, especially Eastern Europe, there is no doubt that Eastern Europe is what Ernst really values, and the former Serbian crown prince and now the king of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia have begun to prepare for their own dictatorship, and it is at this time that Ernst first paid attention to this inconspicuous fellow.
Ernst has always considered himself to be the well-deserved king of Eastern Europe, but suddenly Ernst found that there was such a person in his "jurisdiction", who was capable, forbearing, and explosive, and suddenly the Kingdom of Yugoslavia had become a region that could not be ignored by the Quadruple Alliance, and his influence on the Balkan Peninsula was far from being comparable to that of the Quadruple Alliance.
Is Eastern Europe thus divided into North and South? No, Ernst could never allow such a thing to happen, so how to solve the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was now the first priority before Ernst.
Solve the problem by force? Ernst did not fail to think that now in charge of the Balkans is Admiral Andrei, and the entire second theater has a total of 300,000 elite troops, and three army groups are enough to level the Balkans. But there was one thing Ernst feared that Britain, France, and the United States would intervene in, and even the dictator of the Kingdom of Italy.
The military was canceled, so all that could be done now was political influence and assassinations, but some assassinations could not be put on the table, and Ernst did not want to create an atmosphere of terror. Therefore, assassination should never be used lightly unless forced to do so, even though Ernst has the best killers and killer organizations in the world.
Of course, the situation in the Balkans was very complicated, and even Yugoslavia, the head of the land, could not guarantee that all people would obey its orders, and Ernst could have done some homework in this regard, but what Ernst did not know was that the king had died at the hands of nationalists in history.
Royal Palace of Warsaw:
"Little Entente? He really looks down on himself. ”
Smiling coldly, Ernst was full of sarcasm about the information in his hand, but if you look closely, you can find it. Ernst sneered and was worried at the same time, he knew very well how much the formation of the Little Entente would have an impact on the Quadruple Alliance.
"Your Majesty......"
"It was up to Freud, and he knew exactly what to do."
Sigmund Freud, the chief diplomat of the Quad Alliance, the chief of staff of the army at that time, already had a considerable reputation in the world at this time, and he was also placed in the list of the world's top ten diplomats, which is an immeasurable praise, although the water in the list is indeed a bit large.
Ernst's words made Flender slightly stunned, and many people knew Freud's diplomatic skills. But everyone overlooks the fact that the Freud Foreign Minister has never been so above board. If you really want to investigate some messy things, then you will definitely be able to find Freud's body.
"Your Majesty, will it be ...... to do this?"
"What are you worried about?"
Ernst looked at Flender's brother-in-law very calmly, and did not speak, but the silence was even more depressed, Flender's face began to appear with sweat, and he shook his head a little weakly and said, "Nothing." I'm going to find Freud. ”
I don't know when Flender began to be a little afraid when facing this wife and brother, in fact, not only he felt this way, but also Mysimian, Sophie, and Archduke Ferdinand, but in comparison, Archduke Ferdinand was very pleased. Because he knew that Ernst was already a worthy king.
At this time, Ernst was 35 years old, which was the peak period of his life, and he had been a king for more than 20 years, and he also had some unique majesty of a king, which is what happened now.
Flender left, looking at his back, Ernst shook his head secretly and couldn't help but look out the window, the starlight in the dark night sky was shining, but how long could such a beautiful scenery last? Just like the European countries, their glory will be completely gone with the two world wars, and the United States and East Asia will be the stars of tomorrow
Europe! Looking at the map on the wall, Ernst's eyes couldn't help but narrow, this would be the place where he would rise, the only base for world domination.
In the 21st century, the United States owns the Americas, China owns Asia, and Europe is the only one...... Britain, France and Germany occupy the same three countries, and it is not possible to really unite an EU, and Ernst is ready to achieve this on his own.
In February, a major event in Italy affected the whole world, Mussolini's government actually reached an agreement with the Pope, recognizing the Vatican as a sovereign state and its sovereignty belongs to the Pope, and the "Lateran Treaty" stipulated that starting in July of the same year, the Vatican City would become an independent city-state, the full name of which was the Vatican City State.
The Vatican, like Switzerland, is a permanently neutral state and is sacrosanct.
On this day, the Vatican gathered more than 300,000 believers, on this day the Pope was finally released, they will attend banquets outside the Vatican in the open, the "prisoners" will be away from the Pope, and they will finally be "reconciled" with the Kingdom of Italy, even if the Vatican has paid a lot for this.
In 1870, during the Franco-Prussian period, the Kingdom of Italy took advantage of the transfer of troops stationed in Rome by Napoleon III back to France, and directly invaded the then Papal States and occupied Rome.
Over the years, successive popes have refused to give in, insisting on the name of their papal state and claiming de jure ownership of Rome and everything in the former papal state, and Italy and the Vatican have been arguing over this matter for a whole century and a half, but fortunately it has now been satisfactorily resolved, although the Vatican is not too happy with this outcome.
