Chapter 47: Father and Son Who Gather in the Same Room and See Each Other Again! (2-in-1, ask for subscription!! )
Napoleon looked at the box in front of him and fell into deep thought, and he suddenly began to think about why he had come to Stockholm all the way away, and by the way, to review his identity, whether he had changed from a king to a soldier again.
"Let's smoke!" Levin lowered his voice and said, "You should pray that you can draw a room with an odd number!" ”
"Why?"
Napoleon felt like he had been asking why, and it seemed that he had been in Stockholm with more doubts and confusion than he had in the first half of his life combined.
"The windows of the room with the odd number are facing south! South-facing sunshine! ”
"Didn't Pope Mavi say that this hotel sits on the north and faces south, and the light is excellent?"
Levin took two steps back, took out his compass, pointed to the rectangular five-story hotel in front of him and asked, "Does this hotel sit north and face south?" ”
Glancing at the hands of the dial, Napoleon nodded.
"That's it! The hotel sits north and faces south, and the south-facing rooms have excellent lighting, yes! ”
"It turns out that this is what it means to sit in the north and face south?"
"Actually, it's all about the same, it depends on what type of room you like, Your Majesty."
Napoleon's eyelids jumped, and he always felt that Levin didn't hold back his fart: "Tell me more." ”
Levine scratched his head: "It's summer, the weather is hot, and although the south-facing room has good lighting, it will become a stuffy furnace at noon. The north-facing room is a little humid because the sun doesn't shine, after all, this is Stockholm, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the humidity is heavy. ”
“.”
Napoleon turned his head to look at Mavi, who glared at Levine fiercely, and said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, we decided to ignore some comfort compared to the safety of the kings, 72 kings came to Stockholm at the same time, this kind of event is unprecedented, and we have no experience, please forgive me." ”
"I don't care." Napoleon chuckled: "I have lived in all the harsh conditions, and when the army is marching and fighting, I can sleep in the potholes and mud, but some kings are short-tempered, and they have never experienced this kind of environment since they were young, and they may complain." ”
"If the great Napoleon Bonaparte had no complaints, how could they be so troublesome?" Mavi smiled and said, "If any king really raises objections, I will bring out His Majesty Napoleon and His Majesty Caesar as examples." ”
Without saying much, Napoleon reached into the draw box, took out a thumb-sized card, and looked at the number on it: "303." ”
Bang bang bang.
Ma Wei applauded: "Your luck is really good, room 303 should be one of the most comfortable rooms, Levin, take His Majesty Napoleon to the room!" ”
The internal affairs officer in charge of handling living affairs carried a suitcase, followed Levin and Napoleon into the hotel, walked up the stairs to room 303, opened the door, a large bed room of more than ten square meters came into view, the facilities in the room are very simple, a bed, a set of tables and chairs, a bathroom, a wardrobe and a full-length mirror, the only thing worth mentioning should be the balcony where you can see the competition venue.
"The bathroom has hot water 24 hours a day, and there are nuns on duty who pull the rope if needed."
Ma Wei walked to the head of the bed, held a black rope hanging from the ceiling and gently tugged it, and after a while, a nun in a black robe walked into the room: "Pope, what do you command?" ”
"Pour some cups of tea."
"Yes."
After the nun left, Mavi continued to introduce Napoleon: "The same rope, one in the bathroom and one on the balcony, in case the king slips in the shower or accidentally locks himself in the balcony and cannot enter the room, and there is a special person to clean it every day, and if it is not necessary, you can hang a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the doorknob"
The Interior Officer remembered very seriously, and Napoleon didn't pay much attention to it, but Mavi's next words made him prick up his ears: "During the meeting, no one except the king and queen is allowed to stay in the hotel, and if necessary, the clergy of the hotel can send a message." ”
"What?" The internal affairs officer was stunned for a moment: "Can't I serve His Majesty's daily life?" ”
"Yes."
"What about getting dressed? What about dietary arrangements? I'm responsible for all of this! ”
"Isn't it like you don't have long hands, and you still need help with getting dressed?" Ma Wei said calmly: "The issue of eating is uniformly produced by the church, and the restaurant is on the first floor and is open all day long. ”
"What if it's not to your taste!"
"We'll do our best to satisfy the kings, won't we?"
Levine nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes!" Yesterday I sent the book "World Gourmet Encyclopedia" by the London Daily Mail to the kitchen, and it will be fine! ”
The interior officer 'chuckled' in his heart, but he would not do this if the Church of Truth used other people as an example, except for the names of London and the Kingdom of Windsor.
I can't really connect with food.
Judging from Ma Wei's tough attitude, this matter seems to be non-negotiable, if there is more time, Ma Wei will definitely be able to find a better solution, but the meeting and the Olympics time conflict, coupled with the tight time, can only make this decision.
Even if he is accused of snubbing the guests, he will make sure that the meeting does not turn into a diplomatic issue.
The current international situation is unstable, and if any king dies in Stockholm, there may be a world war!
"Go ahead, I can take care of myself." Napoleon said.
"Your Majesty."
"Tell Demir that since the Church of Truth is responsible for our safety, I don't think they need to be busy, give you a few days off, it's just the Olympics, you can go and play as you like."
"Yes"
In the evening, several more kings checked into the hotel, and King Emirhan III of the Kingdom of Oster was originally very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Church of Truth, thinking that as kings, how could they live in such a place like a pigeon's coop.
However, after the former bishop said that Napoleon had moved in without complaint, they reluctantly kept their mouths shut.
This conference was advocated by Napoleon, as the initiator of the conference, Napoleon's status can be imagined, he did not object, what qualifications do the kings of these small countries have to shout?
Even if you want to object, you should ask Napoleon what he meant.
What if Napoleon didn't want to make trouble?
In the middle of the night, a fleet of ships from the Roman Republic arrived in the port of Stockholm, and Caesar arrived with the delegation.
He did not make a noise or disembark until the next morning, when Caesar entered the city with his delegation, and the convoy of the Church of Truth had been waiting for a long time.
Caesar was greeted not by Mavi, but by Levine, who welcomed him as archbishop.
Seeing each other again, Caesar and Levin looked at each other for a few seconds, then took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said meaningfully: "Long time no see, Mr. Felix." ”
"Führer, you're still the same"
Levin knew that Caesar did not like to be called His Majesty, which was the title of an emperor, and Caesar never felt that he was an emperor, and the Roman Republic did not have a king, only an archon, that is, a senator.
But in the eyes of others, Caesar was the king of Rome, and this name alone symbolizes supremacy, a thought that has been ingrained for two thousand years, whether Caesar recognizes it or not.
"Let's draw a prize, Führer."
Levin took the box and said, "The number in it represents which room you will stay in for the next period of time, His Majesty Napoleon drew 303 yesterday." ”
"Then I'd like to win room 403."
As he spoke, Caesar took out a card from the box, looked at it, and handed it to Levine: "It seems that I am lucky." ”
The card was written with the number 403, and Levine glanced at Caesar in surprise, subconsciously thinking that he had cheated.
But in fact, Caesar didn't cheat, as he said, lucky
Nothing more.
When Caesar was led to the hotel, a delegation from Berlin also arrived in Stockholm, and Mavi did not greet him personally, but sent Christopher and Daniel.
"Father!"
Looking at William V who got off the carriage, Daniel immediately rushed forward to hug him, and after more than two years of not seeing him, Daniel has undergone earth-shaking changes from before, not only taller, but also changed his temperament, his eyes are calm, and he is more dynamic than before.
William V looked at his son, nodded with satisfaction, and did not greet him, but looked at Christopher: "Your Excellency, I am tired, can you find a place to rest?" ”
"Absolutely."
Christopher ordered someone to bring the lottery box, and under Daniel's introduction, William V won room 116.
It didn't matter if he was facing south or not at this moment, and William V didn't care what room 116 looked like, he just wanted to have a quiet environment to be alone with his son.
Two years ago, the Romanov kingdom was still at war, and the Church of Truth had only a few tens of thousands of adherents
Two years later, the Church of Truth had brokered the Great Northern Alliance, which had taken over half of the world.
Daniel, who had experienced all this himself, may not have felt much, but William V, as a bystander, felt deeply, and he had not seen him for two years, and he had so much to say that he could not write in a letter.
Stockholm is surprisingly hot this summer, the sun is high in the sky, sprinkling scorching sunshine, the hottest in previous years, the hottest is only 30 degrees, this year has not yet reached the hottest time, the temperature has exceeded 33 degrees.
In room 116, Christopher had to go back to the harbor to meet the next king who arrived, and soon left, waiting for the nun to bring tea and snacks, Daniel closed the door, sat down next to his father, and asked excitedly, "Father, mother and sister are all right?" Is it the same as the letter says? ”
"They're all fine, you don't have to worry, your mother originally wanted to come together, but I stopped her." William V stared at his son's face and said with a smile: "This is an extraordinary time, do you have any difficulties here?" ”
"No, the teacher still pays me a salary!" Daniel said, "What is the situation in the kingdom of Frederick? How soon is it expected to win the Rheinland Union? What is the next step for Prime Minister Bismarck? ”
"You should have seen the news in the newspapers, similar to what I told you in my letter, except that the news of your engagement to the princess of the Kingdom of Bavaria has not yet spread. The Kingdom of Bavaria is a tough nut to crack, but Maximilian I didn't want to start a war and agreed to your marriage. ”
Wilhelm V took a sip of his teacup: "The Kingdom of Bavaria has 300,000 permanent troops, as long as we can get their help, we can fight from the north and south and take the Kingdom of Württemberg in one go." ”
"Great!" Daniel's face was happy: "The Kingdom of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Württemberg are the two most difficult countries to deal with, once they are taken, the remaining Grand Duchy of Baden and the Grand Duchy of Berg are not to be feared!" The revival of Frederick's kingdom is just around the corner! ”
"Maximilian I wanted you and Princess Margaret to marry as soon as possible, and he promised Frederick that on your wedding day, the army of the Kingdom of Bavaria would launch an attack on the borders of the Kingdom of Württemberg."
"I'll marry Princess Margaret!" Daniel said quickly, "How about I go back to Berlin next month?" ”
William V shook his head slowly: "No, no! You can't go back to Berlin, you're going to stay here, stay with Pope Mavi. ”
"Not going back to Berlin. How do I marry Princess Margaret? ”
"I have already agreed with Maximilian I that next month, Princess Margaret will go to London to marry you, and everything will be simple, as long as the propaganda is carried out in the country."
"This" Daniel said: "Margaret is also a princess of a country, if everything is simple, will Maximilian I agree?" ”
Wilhelm V smiled: "This is exactly his cleverness, no matter how grand the wedding is, it is only a wedding, and the Kingdom of Bavaria values practical interests, not these illusory things."
After a slight pause, William V added: "Actually, when I first offered to let Margaret go to London to marry you, I was afraid of being rejected, but Maximilian I not only agreed at once, but also praised me in his letter, he was a wise man who saw the situation clearly. ”
"It seems that he is not optimistic about the Apocalypse God System either."
"It's not that I'm not optimistic about the Apocalypse God System, but I have other plans." William V reminded: "In the age of theocracy, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, and if something happens to us one day, at least you in London are not in danger, and that is the most important thing." ”
Daniel was a little anxious: "Father, how can you say such unlucky words!" What can happen to Frederick's kingdom! ”
"That's why you stayed with Pope Mavi as well."
Ignoring Daniel, William V said to himself: "If something happens to us one day, you can ask for the help of the Church of Truth in the name of revenge, and at that time, Pope Mavi can justifiably launch a holy war to help you restore your country." ”
"I'm here to remind you that no matter what happens, you can't return to Frederick's kingdom!"
"Father."
Daniel looked at William V blankly: "Did something happen?" ”
"It's okay, don't think about it, I'm just revealing the next step to you."
Wilhelm V smiled dotingly: "I have met Princess Margaret, she is a very gentle girl, her mother came from the most powerful noble family in the Kingdom of Bavaria, in time, you must take advantage of this relationship!" ”
