Chapter 395: Brotherhood Olympics!

Of course, Li Mengyang, an outsider, could not grasp the family affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire very thoroughly, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was originally quite far away from the New World, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire itself had a lot of internal affairs, so it is said that the Habsburg family had nothing to do with the Americas in history, that is, the Grand Duke Maximiliano.

But anyway, Li Mengyang gambled like this, he didn't have anything to lose, it was a big deal to lose the bet, didn't we have been recognized by others before, and that little life was also very good, the new continent, that's it.

If the bet is right, then we will make money!

And now, the Austro-Hungarian emperor and queen are here, obviously the queen mother is very powerful, but this matter is not too important, the key is some trade agreements negotiated by the two sides, and there are many things, one of which is quite interesting.

"American Empire Clint. Your Majesty Li I, next year there will be a World Exposition in our country, can you invite Your Majesty and your concubine to Vienna? ”

This is an invitation issued by Joseph I, this invitation is normal, because he visited, then Li Mengyang, the emperor, will pay a return visit, and there must be a reason for the return visit, just next year the Austro-Hungarian Empire will hold a World Expo.

"Your Majesty Joseph I, of course I am willing to go!" Of course, Li Mengyang can't refuse, no matter what the reason, he has to go to this World Expo.

In other words, Li Mengyang learned German with Eleanor before, and made up for it for a while, otherwise this exchange would be really difficult.

Originally, this matter was talked about here, and everyone laughed and talked happily. Guests and hosts have a great time...... That's the end of it anyway. Very good. But however, Li Mengyang used to study history after all, and now when he sees such a historical figure, he is curious.

"Your Majesty Joseph I, I would like to ask, why is your country hosting this World Expo?"

Yes, I'm really curious, because it's just this Expo. It's really not so easy to organize, because the World Expo has a lot of iconic turns, such as the first 1851 World Expo held in London, England, this World Expo is really unprecedented, built a crystal palace, and then there is a team, in fact, it is a glass house, but after this World Expo, Britain began to decline from the world's factory, the world's industrial hegemon.

In Li Mengyang's memory. The World Expo in Vienna, Austria is also quite sad, as if there are many disasters during the World Expo. Moreover, the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not rise in the future, and the state gradually declined, and it was still on the verge of splitting.

In other words, the reason why Li Mengyang asked this question was that he really wanted to talk to Joseph I, that is, why don't you have a constitutional monarchy?

That's right, the problem of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is here, the subjects of the various small countries in it think that your Habsburgs are not good enough to cook, you can make a constitutional monarchy, and as for how to establish a constitution, then think about the details.

Li Mengyang's question was asked at the dinner, of course, this dinner is Chinese food, some grades, Joseph I's visit has been a week, and he is about to return to China, so the dinner is seeing off, but this is not a formal occasion, so Joseph I's answer is a bit like that.

"World Expo, it's always good to hold this thing, many countries have done it, and our Austro-Hungarian Empire is so strong, it's a little ...... not to do it" At first, it was not bad, Joseph I was eating while talking, but then he ......

"I heard you guys are playing something called mahjong?"

"Yes, yes."

"Can you teach me? I can also try it when I'm bored. ”

"Well, but...... Let's start with the landlord! ”

Queen Elizabeth had a good chat with Huang Rong and Yelena, and they were about to leave, so they should learn something fresh and bring it back, so the five women went out to play first.

It's not a serious meal, really!

"Hey~" So, I heard a long sigh from Joseph I, "Clint. Your Majesty Li, it's a bit bad to call you that, can I call you brother? ”

"......" Li Mengyang was a little hard to believe when he heard this.

You know, nobles, the etiquette is very decent, when eating Western food, there are a lot of requirements, and when you drink soup, you can't lower your head, Li Mengyang has seen it before, so let's eat Chinese food for this meal, don't ask for it so much, feel free.

And now it's a matter of being brothers...... It seems that the royal family and nobles in Europe can basically be regarded as a family, and I am afraid that they are quite relaxed when they are together.

"Of course, I'll come first, Brother Joseph!" Of course, Li Mengyang agreed.

"Good! Brother Clint! "Joseph I patted Li Mengyang on the shoulder, and he recognized this old brother!

This...... It feels weird.

"You don't know!" Joseph I is going to vomit bitterness, "Holding this World Expo, of course, is for the sake of Austria-Hungary, but this meeting, I don't want to do it, not long ago, because of these constructions, I spent a lot of money, not to mention, and there was cholera, and a lot of people died, hey~ Actually, at the beginning, I just thought that there were too many separatists in my empire, and these guys were a bunch of bastards who had nothing to do!" So, I'm going to do something to distract them and show the strength of my empire, haha...... Not bad, right? ”

Joseph I can speak like this, in fact, the reason is very simple, that is, he has come to this new world these days, and he has seen a lot of new things in this new world, and he feels good, really feels good.

There are two keys to this good, one is the system of the two countries, that is, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is still an absolute monarchy, and although the American Empire is a constitutional monarchy, the American emperor he saw has a lot of power!

Your empire, my empire, our two empires seem to be different on the surface, but in fact they are similar, you Clint. Li I is similar to me, isn't it true that many things are also decided in one word?

If there is more, that is the emperor Li Mengyang. He's so young!

Joseph I is not old now. He is also a young genius. He came to power at a young age, and then he did a career when he came to power, but he was really a little depressed recently, not only for national affairs, but also for family affairs, and he was the emperor...... Joseph I is now bald, and the central government supports the Quartet.

In other words, Joseph I wanted to say something from Li Mengyang's heart. The two of them exchanged their experience of being an emperor with each other, so calling them brothers and sisters doesn't this bring the relationship closer?

What the hell did you kid do? How can you still rule white people as a Chinese? And it seems that everyone is convinced of you, is there any good experience in this? …… In this way, Joseph I was not so forced.

Li Mengyang is not too clear about these reasons, but Joseph I is so enthusiastic that it feels like cutting off the head of a chicken and burning yellow paper, so Li Mengyang is also a bright person.

I just heard him say: "Cholera is about it." I can help my brother, our empire has recently made a new discovery in medicine. For cholera, a contagious disease, our Imperial Medical University has found a whole set of effective cures......"

"Really?" Then Joseph I did not believe it!

"Really!"

Of course it's true, didn't Li Mengyang give Xie Tiansi that comparative experimental method before, in fact, it is a scientific experimental method, although this thing is small, but it slowly ferments, grows slowly, and it can do a lot of things by itself, which we couldn't do before.

For example, this cholera, the great enemy of mankind, the empire also has it, but with comparative tests, we find methods, we experiment one by one, we have a lot of prescriptions in Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and we throw away the obviously unreliable ones, and then experiment one by one, and also introduce Western anatomy!

What is anatomy...... Let's just say that the American Civil War really made great progress in the medical field in the United States, really, these doctors are holding knives and saws every day, and they are crunching there...... To be honest, Li Mengyang was scared when he saw their eyes.

"Great! Dude! Thank you so much! ”

Li Mengyang explained, saying that we have thousands of years of experience in traditional Chinese medicine, and then there is Western medicine, as the so-called, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine has a good effect......

"Hahaha...... "Then Joseph I was happy at that time, this old brother was not in vain.

"However, it's easy to talk about cholera, but this World Expo, brother, you said that you want the people to have something to do, so why not hold an Olympics?" Li Mengyang's train of thought is quite powerful.

"Olympics?!" Joseph I was stunned.

"......" As soon as Li Mengyang saw this expression, he wanted to slap himself at that time!

He crossed over, so as soon as he heard about the World Expo, it was normal to associate it with the Olympic Games, because our country did it like this in the future, and if you look at it from the perspective of venting your energy, the Olympic Games are obviously better, but he suddenly remembered that there is no Olympic Games now!

But no...... In order to round this matter, Li Mengyang felt that this thing should come out first!

"It's the sports meeting that was held in ancient Greece before, it's very good......" Li Mengyang began to explain Balabala.

"Oops! I see! That's good! If I had known, I would have done this! If this Olympics is held, then I will be the first, and it will be almost the same as the British to hold the World Expo! ”

On the topic of the Olympic Games, Joseph I was immediately happy, because he immediately realized that if it was necessary to consume excess energy, it was obviously better to exercise, and Li Mengyang also mentioned that if the Olympic Games were held, these sports would of course be mainly liked by the aristocracy.

Why? Why is Li Mengyang so concerned about the aristocracy? Didn't he look down on the aristocracy?

The reason is too simple, because the Olympics need money, so who will pay for it? Of course, I went to the aristocracy, and besides, in this day and age, you expect ordinary peasants and workers to participate in sports? Do they have the leisure to do so?

Perhaps, the peasants and workers are much better than the aristocracy in many sports, such as running, for example, the boatman's rowing skills are absolutely instant to the aristocracy, but you can't rely on these people to hold the Olympics, or even you go and tell the old peasants, let's have a sports meeting, you will participate?

The old peasant will shake his head, and he will probably laugh at you loudly, 'me when I go home and make trouble with my wife, okay?' What a bullshit sports day! ’

Sometimes, the aristocracy is also useful, and it has to be seen dialectically......

"Great! I'll get ready when I get back! "You know, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is the imperial power, and the emperor has the same heart as the common people, and the emperor has to deal with the nobles in the middle.

So, this farewell dinner is naturally the end of the guests, right?

Li Mengyang finally said, "Brother Joseph, what do you think of that place in Romania?" ”

"Romania?" Joseph frowned...... (To be continued......)

PS: Well, about sports, the black car said a little bit, for example, isn't it going to vigorously engage in football now. So many people began to be sarcastic, saying that this is someone's will, and everyone else is a sycophant...... But let's analyze it from an economic point of view, that is, from another point of view, the black car will tell you that our country's sports industry only accounts for 0.6% of the total GDP. This figure is very low, and in other countries, the calculation is medium, that is around 2%. So, if you can raise one percentage point...... From this point of view, will everyone spray black cars and pat their ass? Hey, hey, hey...... Thank you for your support!
