The death of two emperors in a row this year has made the Germans busy again, and Bismarck, as the head of government, is of course one of them.

No, just after Frederick III's body was buried, he had to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of Crown Prince William.

"Give this letter to the Minister of the Interior, and tell him that he must send enough military and police to ensure the absolute safety of the crown prince on the day he ascends the throne, and that the law and order in Berlin must also be managed, and if Germany loses face in front of the dignitaries of various countries, it will also be a slap on him."

After asking the secretary to take the letter out, Bismarck rubbed his somewhat swollen temples. Don't look at him in such a powerful position, but in his position, he is still on thin ice on his resume. The opposition, which was suppressed by his prestige and could only hide, was still watching his every move. These people just wait for him to make a mistake and then jump out and accuse him.

Therefore, he is careful about his work, so as not to fall into the grip of the enemy, but this also causes him to be unable to deal with affairs quickly.

Today, he has dealt with a lot of things, and the excessive use of his brain makes his head ach faintly, so he can only use the method of massaging his temples to relieve the pain.

After feeling a little better, Bismarck was ready to take a document to read.

But at this moment, a knock at the door disturbed him,

"What's the matter?"

Faced with a sudden knock on the door, Bismarck put down the papers in his hand and asked.

"Prime Minister, it's me."

The familiar voice at the door made Bismarck immediately hear who was coming.

"Frederick, come in."

As he spoke, the door was pushed open, and Foreign Secretary Frederick entered.

"Frederick, what's the matter?"

Bismarck's inquiry had his intentions, because according to the arrangement, Frederick should now be busy greeting the dignitaries of various countries, and not suddenly running in front of him. But since he's here, it must mean that something is important, and that's what he's asking.

In the face of Prime Minister Bismarck's words, Frederick certainly had something important. I saw him speak. "Today, the Italian Foreign Minister, His Excellency Bacona, approached me with a request to amend the treaty of alliance."

Frederick's words made Bismarck show a thoughtful expression, revising the treaty of alliance is a big deal, whether it is for Italy or Germany, and what is the reason for the Italians to suddenly make this request?

Bismarck, who was extremely diplomatic in his own right, had to consider what the motive behind this was.

"Which treaty did the Italians propose to amend?"

Bismarck intended to judge Italy's intentions by asking which treaty Italy wanted to amend.

In response to the Prime Minister's inquiry, Frederick said a little embarrassed. "I didn't ask about that, because Bacona mentioned it at the time."

Yes, Bacona was talking casually to Frederick at the time, but in their position, they would also think that it was just an unintentional mistake by the other party.

Bismarck smiled at Frederick's words. "It seems that the Italians want to test whether we have the idea of revising the treaty of alliance."

Years of diplomatic experience led Bismarck to believe that Italy wanted to test Germany.

In the face of Bismarck, who had been invincible in European diplomatic circles for many years, how could Frederick not believe it, so he asked. "And how are we going to reply to them?"

"There's no need to answer, wait until the crown prince ascends the throne, if we are too anxious, it will give those Italians some unrealistic illusions, which is not good."

Now that the Prime Minister has made a decision, Frederick, as Foreign Secretary, has a plan in mind.

That is to wait for Italy to propose it for the second time, diplomacy is like this, it is a place of wits and courage, and Frederick, as foreign secretary, has enough patience.

Then, the German side continued to prepare for the crown prince's enthronement ceremony like a man who had nothing to do.

As for the Italian side, it seems that they have forgotten about it, and they have not mentioned it again.

A few days later, Wilhelm II's enthronement ceremony began, and this time the scene was much grander than the enthronement of his father, Frederick III.

All countries sent sufficient missions, and although the Queen of England did not come, the arrival of Crown Prince Edward also gave Germany enough face.

And Russia, needless to say, the shy Crown Prince Nicholas is here again. As for Austria-Hungary, the debt-ridden Crown Prince Rudolf also came, and now he has not yet met the Baroness Marie Visera who is willing to die with him. So no one would have thought that the heir of the Austro-Hungarian Empire would end his life in such a form.

Of course, in addition to these major countries, other countries have also sent envoys, and of course, they also try to send crown princes or princes and so on. As for the reason, this is obvious, don't you see that the representatives sent by several major countries are basically young people.

So during this time, in the city of Berlin, all kinds of princes were everywhere. And banquets, salons and other events are three times more than before.

However, even among so many people, Carlo's identity is still the most prominent existence in the first echelon. Because he was the king of Italy, he had more power than any other prince, crown prince or crown prince.

And Italy is also one of the great powers, and its status is enough for other small countries to look up to. To use a fashionable phrase, people who are more important than him do not come, and those who come are not as important as him, even if it is Crown Prince Edward of the British Empire, he is only a crown prince, not a king.

As one of the most prominent beings, Carlo received numerous invitations to banquets, balls, and salons during this time. Not to mention that Carlo is not married yet, and there are also many royal women who think they are qualified to compete for the position of queen.

And Carlo, in the face of the mountain of invitations, still appropriately selected some to participate, and the ones he chose were basically more famous banquets.

There was a joke in this, at a banquet, Carlo and the British Crown Prince Edward talked very speculatively, and then the drunk Edward, not for any reason, actually said that he wanted to marry his daughter Princess Louise to Carlo, because he thought Carlo would be a good son-in-law.

Although the attendants then put a stop to the crown prince's nonsense, Carlo was given the title of best son-in-law.

This made Carlo really not know what to say to the crown prince Edward.

The degree of its unreliability is somewhat similar to a certain prince who has been the crown prince for 70 years.

And Carlo also showed the demeanor of the king of Italy in this communication. Although the Savoy family rarely integrates into the European royal circle, Carlo's performance allowed him to get this opportunity. Of course, whether this is his proof or a manifestation of the Kingdom of Italy behind it, it is unknown.

But no matter what, Carlo has a few more royal friends.

However, such days also ended quickly, because the day of William's accession to the throne was near. As the day approached, so did the social activities in Berlin.

I'm in a good mood
