Chapter 278: "Admiral" Alfred

While the boys from Yenching University were anxious, the girls returned to the hotel with tired faces, and the boys asked what they had experienced but the girls did not answer, and how the girls finally persuaded the white youths was only clear to the parties concerned.

There is only one train from the Russian Empire to Europe, so a few students from Yenching University can only crowd into the huge flow of people, and at this time there are already some 21st century Chinese Spring Festival appearances, which is actually normal, after all, who made the only way to Europe?

Of course, there are other roads, just drive into the Soviet territory and take the train to the border and then drive out of the Soviets, but ...... The Soviet government is very restrictive on the entry and exit of people, what can you do in the face of such a situation? That's why this railway is so busy.

There were a lot of tourists coming and going between the Russian Empire and Europe, because for them it was actually one country (the Quadruple Alliance), and it was dangerous to go to other countries, but it was okay to play in their own "territory", although many feared that the Soviet government would suddenly turn around.

When several Yenching college students were still on the way, they did not know that the United States from the other side of the Pacific Ocean had basically ended the "Washington Conference," and it was natural that there was something about the Jiaozhou Railway, and that it would be rare for China, without any state support, to win the victory.

In fact, what China has lost is not only superficial, the contradictions between the United States and Japan have allowed China to gain some benefits from it, but where is the United States willing to give up the fat in front of it? Regarding the withdrawal of tariff autonomy and the abolition of consular jurisdiction. The demands for the withdrawal of foreign troops stationed in China and the resumption of concessions and leased land were all rejected. Japan suffered heavy losses, but China also gained little. In a word, it is very suitable for the current situation, just out of the wolf's den and then into the tiger's den.

Compared to Japan, the United States may be milder, but it is also the most difficult country to break free, and the degree of difficulty is rising in a straight line, but it is clear that many warlords in China do not see this side now, even those in the south, and they still think that the United States is well-intentioned.

Christmas is over, and Mary is back in Prague. At the same time, Jessica also went to the royal palace in Vilnius, and only Anne remained in Warsaw. Of course, Prince Flender is also here, and along with his family, there is actually only one reason why Flender is here, and he is also one of the executive directors of the Quad Alliance.

With the establishment of the Quadruple Alliance, a new inspection team appeared in Warsaw, and their responsibilities even included the entire Quad Alliance, and the current Prince Flanders was the main person in charge of the inspection team, which was regarded as replacing the work of Archduke Ferdinand in the Czech Duchy.

Prince Flender has never been a soft-hearted man, and of course he is often entangled in his own affairs. But that doesn't prove that he does the same with outsiders. Ruthlessness is the nickname given to him by officials, and fairness and strictness are the praises given by the citizens of the Quad Alliance.

Being able to have such an honor in just over a month is not only for publicity reasons, but also for himself and ability. You must know that Archduke Ferdinand did not do this back then, but Ernst guesses that this has a lot to do with Archduke Ferdinand's casualness.

Mesimilian was still the king of the Kingdom of Hungary, but now he was much more relaxed than he had been in the previous two years, not only because he didn't have to worry about the military, but also because he had a good deputy, Ernest Brown. Feng. Count Co, the old prime minister he picked, is really qualified.

Royal Palace of Warsaw:

"This is a new work of" Atlantis "? ”

When Bert held a trumpet-like object in front of Ernst, Ernst's eyes were puzzled, how could it look very familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was.

"This is the latest type of radio equipment, Your Majesty!"

"Radio equipment?"

Ernst pointed to the big horn and asked incredulously, aren't people all newer and smaller, but how can the bastards of "Atlantis" get bigger and bigger? And just when Ernst couldn't figure it out, Bert seemed to think of something and hurriedly took out a rectangular plastic box about 20 centimeters under the loudspeaker and placed it in front of Ernst.

"It's the radio, Your Majesty, it's a device that can transmit signals over long distances and clearly, and you can stand in the radio room and let the whole country hear you."

"Musicals can do the same?"

Anne's sudden opening made Bert pause, but he quickly replied: "Yes, ma'am, if you want, you can instantly let the song of Golden Melody Records be transmitted to the entire Quad Alliance, and even Europe and the United States, but if you want to transmit the sound to the other side of the ocean very completely, I think it will take a long way." ”

Anne apparently didn't listen to Bert's words, she had always had a problem with ignoring everything around her when she had already gotten what she wanted, and Ernst had no way to do it.

"I'm sure Prime Minister Massena will like this very much, knowing that he is very skeptical that his policies will pass on smoothly." Smiling lightly, Ernst, who was in a good mood, could not help but tease his cabinet first of all Monsieur Massena.

Bert was obviously not suitable for answering such a topic, but he also responded with a slight smile, while explaining: "The cost of radio is very low, and it may only take two months if it wants to be popularized, of course, if you need the help of Miss Anne, after all, there are indeed many songs in the Golden Melody Records that are quite influential."

At this moment, Anne was still in a state, and she raised her little head very fondly, shook her head helplessly, and continued to talk to Bert about the new radio, and at the same time tried her best to find a way to play his role.

"His Majesty the Grand Duke, Prime Minister of Russia Stenis. Mr. Gross ......"

"To correct two points, Bert, I like it when you call me Mr. Ernst, no one calls me that now, and I would be very happy if you did. The second thing I already know, if you want to persuade me to turn down those lovely, innocent little ones, then I'm sorry, I might disappoint you. ”

"No, no, no, I don't want you to refuse them, Mr. Ernst, on the contrary I want you to give them a chance, and if you refuse, I am sure that you will have some different kind of Chinese food in the future."

When there were no guests, most of Ernst's food was Chinese, and the faint threat in Bert's words made Ernst laugh, he was sure that the cooks would do it, they only needed to put a little less salt and more vinegar so that Ernst could not find their faults and endure the discomfort of the taste.

"Your Majesty, there may be something bad news......"

Before Bert's words were finished, Ernst's face was already very ugly, because he had already roughly guessed what Bert wanted to say, in fact, Ernst didn't mention it for a while, but his heart was always worried about the servant who had been with Ernst the longest.

Mrs. Beoulay, the maid in the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Palace, Ernst's former wet nurse, and the head cook, suddenly fell seriously ill, and Ernst was still in Poland at that time, and when he learned about it, it was the Warsaw Conference, and as soon as the Warsaw Conference was over, Ernst wanted to go to Prague to visit each other, but who would have thought that news came from Prague that Madame Beoulay had recovered.

Ernst didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it must be that Bioulai didn't want to trouble him so he deliberately said this, Bert is undoubtedly one of those who know, no wonder his mood has been wrong for a while, and now he doesn't need to think about it to know that it was this incident that affected him.

"Are you walking peacefully?"

Ernst asked softly, it was rare for Ernst to speak so softly, and Bert was not surprised by this, for he knew very well that Ernst was more like his mother than Madame Eulay's affection for Madame Sophia compared to Archduchess Sophia.

"It's peaceful, her last words before she died were to tell Alfred to serve you well......"

Alfred was the only son of Madame Beoulay, 10 years younger than Ernst, and finally, the son of Madame Beoulay and a French chef, although Alfred was not of high origin, but because of his mother, Alfred did not dare to despise him even as a ministerial official in Prague.

Bert, Andrey, and Kurt, all of Ernst's former descendants had an extraordinary relationship with Madame Beeulay, and they also took great care of Alfred, not to mention Ernst, the Czech Grand Duke.

"Tell me to go down! I hope that the next International Council of Royals will add an earl to the title, and they should all give up this place! ”

In order to ensure the status of the nobility of the International Royal Conference, there is only one hereditary nobility qualification in the negotiation year, of course, if there are really very qualified talents, then it is also possible to make an exception. This year, however, the number of nobles has not yet been decided, but it is clear that it has nothing to do with Ernst, because it was he who won the quota last year.

Now it was obvious that Ernst wanted to give up something for Alfred, but Bert had a different opinion, and although he had a very good relationship with Madame Eulai, his duty was, after all, to secure the wealth and investment of his master, and now it seemed to Bert that Ernst was prepared to make a very insignificant political investment.

"This is not what Madame Beyolai wants to see, Your Majesty!"

The only person who knew Ernst most well here was Bert, and his words made Ernst sigh and change his mind: "Canonized Alfred as Count of the Czech Duchy and qualified to study at the Royal Czech Army Academy, I hope that Alfred's name will be included in the future Imperial Generals, and tell Alfred what I said."
