Chapter 574: Marriage (Part I) Asking for a Monthly Pass

The political center of Italy is Rome, and the political center of Rome is the Quirinale Palace, which is the most basic common sense of Italian politics.

As the owner of the Quirinalale Palace, King Carlo is also supported by people from all walks of life. Because under the leadership of this wise and martial king, Italy's status in the world is also getting higher and higher, and the economy is getting better and better. This has also led to an increase in people's income, which has made the people more and more satisfied with the government and the royal family.

However, this wise and powerful king could not do everything, for example, there was one thing that made him feel a little difficult to do.

"Vittorio, do you really want Louise to be your wife?"

Carlo looked at his son in front of him and asked.

As the legal heir to Carlo, Crown Prince Vittorio is now a great guy. In these years, the crown prince rarely appeared in front of the world, because, in addition to his education, he served in the army according to the practice of European royal heirs.

Especially in the last four years, Crown Prince Torio has spent two years in both the army and the navy. However, unlike other kingdom heirs who have a role in the army, Crown Prince Vittorio spent four years in the army as a soldier.

He concealed his identity and served in the army as an ordinary soldier, and except for a few high-ranking military officers, no one knew that this sweaty comrade-in-arms who ate and lived with them and practiced with them was the future monarch of the kingdom.

As for why he should feel in the army as an ordinary person, the reason is very simple, that is, Carlo believes that although his son is the heir of the kingdom, he must also feel the normal military life, so Crown Prince Vittorio feels the life in the army as an ordinary soldier.

And this has also brought benefits, four years of military life, so that his body is stronger. The crown prince, who was originally a little soft, became resolute.

No, I've already started to come up with my own ideas.

"Yes father, I want to marry Louise as my wife."

Looking at his father, who exuded majesty in front of him, Crown Prince Vittorio said his request again in a deep voice.

The Louise that Vittorio was talking about was Princess Victoria Louise, the youngest daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Since the two met a few years ago, the two have had a very good relationship and have been in correspondence.

Faced with this idea from his son, Carlo didn't know what to say.

From a personal point of view, Carlo is supportive of his son's choice, but from the perspective of the King of Italy, the little German princess is not a good choice.

The reason is very simple, first of all, this will strengthen the ties between the royal families of the two countries, and after the little German princess becomes the crown princess of Italy, it will definitely increase the influence of Germany on Italy.

Although Carlo has already decided to take the side of the alliance in the next war. This is because Italy can bring enormous benefits by doing so.

However, it is difficult to say whether Italy and Germany will be able to guarantee the continuation of their close relationship after the end of the war and the great changes in the political situation in Europe. After all, the interests of the two countries are different, and although the interests of the two countries are the same now, after the account is divided, many contradictions will inevitably arise. At that time, as a symbol of the intimacy between the two countries, how the crown prince and his wife should face this problem, to be honest, he does not know.

Don't compare Carlo's wife, Maria, to Maria, for at that time Maria was a member of the Habsburg royal family, but she was a side line, far from the reigning Austro-Hungarian Emperor Joseph I.

As for the Kaiser's favorite little daughter, how far do you think it can be?

Although there were many wars that broke out after the marriage between European nobles, they were all more or less influential.

But looking at his serious son in front of him, Carlo already knew the other party's inner insistence. Knowing his son is Mo Ruo's father, Carlo still knows his son.

"Give me a moment to think about it."

Carlo's words made Vittorio hesitate, but behind him, his mother Maria, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, gave the other party a look, and spoke. "You go down first, son, give your father a little time to think about it."

Vittorio, who had obeyed his mother's words, saluted the two and left.

After her son left, Maria looked at her husband and spoke. "Carlo, although I don't understand politics, I also know that marrying the Hohenzollerns is not a very good choice, but my son likes it. He'd talked to me about it before, and I asked him what he thought, and I knew it would be too hard to get him to change, so for the sake of my son, could you take him to Berlin? ”

What else could Carlo say in the face of his wife's plea. Speaking of which, over the years, Carlo has devoted himself to his work and does not care enough about his family. And his wife Maria did not complain about this, silently supported him behind the scenes, and the growth and education of the children in the family were all done by Maria, because he knew that Carlo was all about the kingdom.

Now for the sake of her son's marriage, it is rare for his wife to speak. His husband can't put all his mind on government affairs, and he also needs to set aside some time for his family.

"Well, I promise you and my son, I will take my son and you to Berlin."

Carlo's words made Maria smile, although the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and forehead were clearly visible, but in Carlo's eyes, she was still the little Habsburg princess she liked more than twenty years ago.

Thinking of this, Carlo couldn't help but touch his wife's forehead with his hand and kiss it kissing.

Now that the decision has been made, then next, Carlo is also resolute. It's not fast, there are a lot of things going on in China, so you need to make the trip as soon as possible.

Of course, before that, Carlo needs to ask the woman's family first.

Although he and William are friends, this kind of marriage must also be given a message first, and it cannot be reckless. Not to mention that there are two countries behind the two, and it is not such a simple thing.

So Carlo sent a telegram, in which he said that he would bring his family to visit outside, and also emphasized that his son had a good impression of his youngest daughter and had the idea of forming a family with her.

William was a little surprised by the telegram from Carlo. In fact, his baby daughter has reached the time to talk about marriage, but how to choose is still a problem.

First of all, he must not be wronged by his beloved little daughter, so his future husband cannot be something she doesn't like, and secondly, since he is a princess of the royal family, even if William likes his little daughter again, he must also bear the obligation to marry this need.

Now the news of his friend makes him have to talk to his daughter and the government.

As for the government, after getting the news that the Italian crown prince wanted to marry Princess Louise, of course, he was overjoyed. Let the German princess become the queen of Italy in the future, and expand Germany's influence in Italy, no matter how you look at it, it will be bloody.

As for Little Princess Louise, what to say when she heard the news. She had a very good relationship with Vittorio before, but she still couldn't react to the fact that the other party wanted to marry her, which is commonly known as the state of confusion.

But this is enough for the Kaiser and the German government, as long as there is no opposition, then it will be easy to do. You say that there is still a lack of emotional foundation, this is not simple, as long as everyone works together, can you not let the relationship between the two young people heat up quickly?

------Off topic------

Emotional drama has always been a short board of steamed buns, it's too slow to write this, I completed the three more tasks today, if I can't do it, I must make up for it twice, and I will make it up tomorrow
