Chapter 394: The Austro-Hungarian Emperor Is Really Here!
Why is this visit important?
In fact, this should be said from the general rules of some international relations at this time, of course, this relationship refers to the international relations of Europe and the United States.
To put it simply, in the current world, with the constitutional monarchy as the main form of government, most of the European powers are leaning on this aspect, you don't look at the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not a constitutional monarchy, the Habsburgs are really reluctant. But even if the monarchy is constitutional, it seems that the monarch has no real rights, but some of the monarch's actions still have great political symbolic significance.
The main thing is an overseas visit!
If a monarch visits a certain country, then the first symbol is that the monarch recognizes the country!
This is the first one, that is, a monarch, I recognize your status, I admit that your country is a good country, and what we can talk to each other is like being equal in the underworld, so I will go.
So, don't underestimate the act of visiting, it represents a lot of things, even in the future generations, in fact, the same, if I don't recognize you, then I will never go to your side, and there will be no letters, and exchanges.
This is really important.
Besides, let's talk about the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the history that Li Mengyang saw is that none of the European and American powers had ever been to the Manchu Dynasty!
Don't say anything about the monarch, it's the prime minister, I haven't been there, what does this mean?
People don't even look up to your Qing government!
Don't look at Li Hongzhang's foreign visit, he was received by Bismarck in Germany and a certain Grand Duke in Russia. But no one wanted to go to the Manchus. Don't you understand this?
Other words. This Count Andráhi in the White House, this condition he threw out is actually very, very powerful!
Queen Elisabeth, the title of this queen represents the monarch of Hungary, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is a dualistic empire, of course, the king of Hungary is still Franz. Joseph I, but though. For a queen to come and visit an empire where a Chinese is the emperor is really the first major event in the world!
Moreover, now no one recognizes the American Empire, not even the Manchus, this situation is very dangerous, if we don't recognize you, then we can do it anytime and anywhere, we think you are illegal, so why should we reason with you?
Other than that. If Queen Elizabeth could come, it would be a very powerful move. Queen Elizabeth, that is, Princess Sissi, also has power behind her, and their family is also a veteran European nobleman, and they are also relatives of the Habsburgs, so this gesture is very powerful.
You see, everyone has admitted it, so are you still watching?
Therefore, this is likely to have an ice-breaking effect, and it is very likely that after Queen Elizabeth, there will be a lot of European monarchs, or heads of state.
A lot of things are like this, like a dam, it's often a small crack at the beginning, but when there is a crack, then the dam will collapse very quickly!
This is very likely, because the empire is doing good business with the British now, and it is also trading with the Germans, but everyone has not put this face down, that's all......
So, such a good thing, why didn't Li Mengyang agree? Why did he say that?
Let Queen Elizabeth come alone, that Franz. Why was Joseph I not at ease?
But this is nothing, in the subsequent talks, Liszt also made it very clear to Count Andrási, if you don't come up with real money, then the freedom of Grand Duke Maximiliano, hehehe......
Isn't that too much?
Can Count Andráhi agree?
Can Austria-Hungary agree?
That Franz. Would Joseph I agree?
The result......
"On March 11, 1872, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz. Joseph I, with Queen Elizabeth, arrived in Baltimore by boat and began a week-long state visit......"
“…… On 13 March, His Majesty the Emperor of the United States of America and His Majesty the Emperor of Austria-Hungary had a cordial conversation during which the two sides exchanged views on a number of important international events......"
“…… On March 15, the Emperor of the United States personally released Maximiliano and hosted a banquet for the Emperor and Empress of Austria-Hungary. Meng Yang. Lee I's thanks...... In order to express his condolences to the people of the Autonomous Region of Mexico and to make amends for the trauma suffered by the people of the Autonomous Region, the Emperor of Austria-Hungary agreed to donate 1 million gold francs to the Autonomous Region......"
“…… On March 17, the American Empire and Austria-Hungary signed a friendly bilateral agreement, and the two sides will carry out in-depth exchanges in economic cooperation......"
Here it comes! People are really here, and throughout the whole process, there are loudspeakers on the Empire's side broadcasting, and the newspapers are not idle, all kinds of news, all kinds of comments.
You know, there were more than 8,000 newspapers in the United States before, and although the final unification has not yet been completed, there are more than 5,000 in the east.
Of course, everyone doesn't know that these styles are relatively close to the high-rated programs of later generations, and the news is broadcast continuously...... Li Mengyang: This can be regarded as a whole memory for himself.
That's a good thing, but how did this work? That's the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and you Li Mengyang said that he would come if he asked him to come?
For this question, the most curious is Liszt, don't forget, he is a Hungarian, in fact, the whole thing, he operated it at the beginning, and the contact with the Count Andrách is indeed a bit of a feeling that the other party took the initiative to get on the pole, but that Joseph I, he is too obedient, right?
"Your Majesty, can you solve the minister's doubts?"
"That's it, hehehe......"
Liszt asked more than once, but Li Mengyang always smiled in return......
Can't help but laugh. Because Li Mengyang can't say this reason at all. The reason for this is because he came through time!
Right. It's as simple as that, but if you want to be specific, that is, Li Mengyang, this guy, he knows that Princess Sissi better, that is, the current Queen Elizabeth!
Ay? Could it be that this guy is lustful? But she is a married woman, and she has given birth to several children, do you Li Mengyang have such a strong taste? Though......
The current Princess Sissi is still very beautiful, an absolute beauty, more than one meter and seven in height. And the figure is excellent, but not too ...... Li Mengyang is really not interested in that aspect, really not!
Princess Sissi, a historical figure, can be said to be the most well-known European historical figure among our later Chinese, at least the most famous among female historical figures.
Because the first foreign film introduced after the founding of the People's Republic of China was "Princess Sissi".
is so famous, and Princess Sissi is indeed very beautiful, a famous peerless beauty in the West, Li Mengyang, who studies history, naturally wants to take a look. Look at this...... Amazingly, this is still not available. After all, there were too many beauties in his time.
However, what's interesting here, that is, Princess Sissi in reality is completely different from Princess Sissi in the movie!
Princess Sissi in reality, so sad, how sad is it?
It's sad that Princess Sisi has become Queen Elizabeth, yes, it's the queen of Hungary, to put it simply, it's with that Count Andráhi!
To say that this story is quite interesting, Princess Sisi and Joseph I, these two people, are actually relatives, no way, after all, the nobles of Europe are a family, but these two people also had sweet days at the beginning, but the good times did not last long.
This has to do with Joseph I, what is this person?
There are intentions, ambitions, and even eloquence, and even very self-disciplined, in the words of the White House attendant, this emperor is a bit of a second-minded, he takes a cold shower every day, and it's March.
Well, the waiter is more concerned about the health of the emperor, but taking a cold bath also shows that Joseph I is in good health, but this person's brain......
Stupid!
What a stupid!
As for Li Mengyang's talks with him and the exchange of opinions, he found that this guy reacted slowly, and said that the value of Grand Duke Maximiliano was set by Princess Sissi.
The price is good and fair......
And this stupidity, it's a bit of a problem, if a person is stupid, it's actually nothing, Li Mengyang is aware of discrimination, but if this person is stupid, but he still likes to insert any topic, then there is a problem.
To put it simply, don't expose yourself if you're stupid!
"Huh?! What is this, electric light? It's so interesting! ”
"Huh!? What is this, is this a car? I'm going to give it a try...... Ahh............h
"This car, what's it called? We have it there, hey, how is it different? It's very comfortable. "It's fun to get on the bike.
Joseph I, for example, had all the manners of an aristocracy, but sometimes he was really a little bit of a new thing...... But these things can really reflect this person's character and his performance in governing the country.
The idea and starting point are often good, but if they are not done well, the result is always tragic......
So, such a person, how smart and talented is Princess Sissi, she usually writes poetry...... Then she has something to do with Count Andráhi, isn't this normal for God?
Well, the point is not on the relationship between Princess Sisi and Count Andráhi, Li Mengyang doesn't like this kind of lace news, what he uses is something else, that is, the relationship between Princess Sisi and her mother-in-law.
Joseph I is stupid, but he is not stupid, that is, the famous Queen Mother Sophie, this Sophie can see the relationship between Princess Sisi and Count Andrahi, cough cough...... Of course, they also had something to do before, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
But there is a major problem here, that is, Sophie, the queen mother, is more ruthless than Cixi, she protects all the children born to Princess Sissi by her side and does not let Princess Sissi be her mother!
That's right, it's to deprive you of the right to be a mother, this trick is too ruthless!
The above is not only what Li Mengyang has mastered, but there are many stories of this kind of thing in later generations.
So, let's straighten out these relationships now, Count Andráci came first, he still came on his own initiative, and then his purpose was Maximiliano, this Maximiliano is the younger brother of Joseph I, so don't you understand?
Obviously, the reason why Count Andrási came to our empire to get Maximiliano back is probably to help Duke Sisi get back custody of her children!
Because as long as Maximiliano returns, then the old Queen Mother Sophie will naturally be happy, at least the child's affairs can be discussed, right?
It should be said that Li Mengyang is not completely accurate, but it is not ......
Didn't the Austro-Hungarian Emperor and Empress come?
I guess that's what happened...... (To be continued......)
