The emperor's visit to Europe of the Tang Empire had the greatest impact on the people of European countries, especially the upper class, was the huge convoy of 72 diesel cars, which seemed to be both stylish and face-saving. As a purely mechanically powered vehicle, it has aroused great curiosity and pursuit psychology among the aristocracy.

During his visit to Britain, the Netherlands, and France alone, the attaché of the Ministry of Economic Affairs received orders for 1,377 of the latest cars, most of which came from European royal families and aristocrats, and a small number of them were orders from financiers and big capitalists.

For this new gadget that has just appeared, there is a lot of interest in European high society.

The automobile industry has been promoted for more than 9 years, and its effect is far less than the sensational effect brought by His Majesty's visit to Europe, and it is truly accepted by the European aristocratic circle, and has germinated strong interest, starting from His Majesty's trip to Europe.

There are two cars that landed in Europe this time, one is the royal car "Meimei Chief" brand car, and the Tang royal family customized this one called "Apache".

The Apache is 6.32 meters long, very similar to the shape of a royal carriage, with a tall silver-plated shield grille at the front, a new twin-cylinder 32 hp diesel engine, patented pneumatic tires, and a top speed of 45 kilometers per hour.

Instead of the tractor-like annoying sound of the first-generation single-cylinder diesel engine, the engine runs more smoothly and is more powerful, capable of making a horseshoe-like sound.

The huge body, coupled with the exquisite hand-crafted accessories, gives the "Apache" car a graceful and gorgeous appearance, streamlined lines, and strong enough aura to support the grandeur of royal travel.

In particular, the fact that there is no need for horses to pull it has deeply attracted the curiosity of many European aristocrats.

The "North American Emirates" brand cars are very high, and the people who buy them are limited to European royal families and aristocrats, among which European royal families can buy "Apache" series vehicles, and European nobles can buy "Navajo" series cars.

The "Navajo" series of cars is the second type of vehicle in the royal team, the car is 5.4 meters long, using a new twin-cylinder 26 horsepower diesel engine, pneumatic patented tires, powerful power, a top speed of 40 kilometers per hour, but the body shape is one grade lower than the "Apache".

After years of development

The reliability of the cars produced by the Tang Empire has been greatly improved, and only three of the 72 cars broke down in the middle of the trip to Europe.

It can be seen that automotive products have a fairly high reliability and are suitable for large-scale promotion.

After a grand thank-you banquet was held at the Palace of Versailles South, the next morning, Napoleon III held a grand send-off ceremony in Paris for the official visit of the Tang Emperor Richard and his entourage, and hundreds of thousands of Parisians poured into the streets to witness this historical moment.

Escorted by the French Royal Cuirassier Regiment and the Imperial Praetorian Cavalry Regiment, the royal convoy of the Tang Empire headed east to the Kingdom of Prussia, and entered the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia at noon on the second day.

To Richard's surprise

Bismarck, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, personally led the Royal Berlin Cuirassier Regiment to wait at the junction of the two countries to greet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire with great courtesy.

Only from this point

It can be seen that the Kingdom of Prussia attaches great importance to the visit of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire, far more than Britain, France and the Netherlands. His Royal Highness Friedrich Wilhelm Nicholas Karl, the Crown Prince of Prussia, and a number of military and political dignitaries, as well as His Royal Highness Don-Li Kun, the Seventh Prince, who was studying in Berlin, and the embassy in Germany, who accompanied Prime Minister Bisman on the border between the two countries, were all powerful and unprecedented.

Such a courtesy could not help but make Emperor Richard smile very happily, and every senior cabinet member of the accompanying delegation felt that there was a light on their faces, and it was a glorious feeling of unprecedented improvement in the status of the Tang Empire in the world.

Without this weight, the Kingdom of Prussia would not have put on a huge battle.

Copenhagen, Kingdom of Denmark

Late June

It is the most beautiful time of the year in the Kingdom of Denmark, and the glorious Nordic sun shines on the Royal Palace of Amalienbord, making this beautiful palace even more dazzling.

At this time, the palace was shrouded in an atmosphere of extreme grief, and the royal courtiers and attendants hurried by with heavy faces, as if the sky had fallen.

The sky didn't fall, but the Danes didn't think so.

The sudden death of King George I of Greece made the Kingdom of Denmark, which was in a good situation, suddenly lose the arm of southern Europe, and the layout that had been painstakingly operated for many years completely collapsed, and the Kingdom of Denmark was beaten back to the prototype of the triad of small European countries, and the loss was not painful.

The new king of Denmark, Christian IX, had six children, all of whom were married to European powers, which gave the influence of the Kingdom of Denmark to spread throughout Europe.

The eldest son, Crown Prince Karl, will inherit the Danish throne in the future, and the second son, George I, will be crowned King of Greece before Christian IX, allowing the influence of the Danish Kingdom to radiate to the shores of the Aegean Sea, adding heavy weight to its international influence.

The eldest princess Alexandra is married to Edward, the British crown prince and Prince of Wales, and the second princess Maria is the crown princess of Tsarist Russia and will become the queen of Tsarist Russia in the future, both of which are the top royal marriages in Europe.

The little princess Tira was married to the son of the King of Hanover in the German Confederation, and if there was no Kingdom of Prussia to unify the German states, she would also be a proper empress in the future.

The youngest, Prince Waldemar, is only 6 years old, so there is no need to mention it for the time being.

Among these children, Christian IX valued King George I of Greece the most, and as long as he was there, the Kingdom of Greece would always be the closest ally of the Kingdom of Denmark, working closely together politically, economically, culturally, and militarily, as if they were a family.

Although the eldest princess Alexandra and the second princess Maria joined the two European giants of Britain and Russia respectively, they were separated by one layer after all, and these two traditional European powers strictly forbade the royal family to interfere in politics, so it was impossible to bring any substantial benefits to the Kingdom of Denmark.

At most, it is a show of presence in the upper class activities of the European royal family.

With Queen Victoria's high prestige, her spouse, Prince Albert, could not interfere in politics in the slightest, which was the biggest reason why Prince Albert was deeply depressed. So he had the whim to persuade Queen Victoria to have more children, so as to achieve the transcendent influence of the "European father-in-law".

Queen Victoria was reluctant to have children, but for the sake of her beloved husband Prince Albert, she gave birth to 9 children in a row, which is off-topic.

In the original history

Princess Alexandra, who married into the British royal family, was completely suppressed in the face of Queen Victoria, who was on standby for a long time, and spent her life depressed in the life of her husband the Prince of Wales and the dreary and depressed life of many mistresses and the British royal family.

"O Lord Almighty! I still can't believe that George died a strange and violent death, could it be that he angered the gods? Christian IX's grief was indescribable, and he sat on his throne as if he were ten years old.

The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, such a blow is unbearable.

George I, who went alone to Greece to be crowned king, suddenly left, and the political map of southern Europe in the Kingdom of Denmark was completely destroyed, which made every royal courtier look heavy and feel like half the sky had collapsed.

Prime Minister Ogst Karl von Gebben rubbed his somewhat stiff face with his hands, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked tired, during this time the upper nobles of the Danish Kingdom were in a mess, all kinds of incompetence and madness.

Even the grudge duels between the nobles have increased, and it feels like they can't hold the fire, and a little spark will explode.

This forced the Royal Danish government to put out fires everywhere, pacify the upper class nobles and the injured classes, and was so busy that it hit the back of the head.

Rubbing his face, Prime Minister Geben said;

"Your Majesty;

George I was called by the Lord, and this is a reality that we have to face. No one can resist the power of the gods, not even the royal family.

The Kingdom of Greece did not have George I in charge of the overall situation, and the great manpower and material resources that our country had invested before had to be withdrawn in a big way, so as not to become the prey of the new king.

Drowning in grief doesn't help solve anything, it's time to face reality.

With regard to His Majesty's proposal for a two-week day of mourning, the Cabinet of Ministers agreed after study that it was too long and that one week should be appropriate. ”

"No, my dear George is the finest Danish prince and is crowned King of Greece, and this is the supreme honor of all Danish subjects, and they should join the royal family in solemnly mourning the death of King George."

Like every stubborn father, Christian IX appeared paranoid at this time, asking the royal parliament to pass a two-week "day of national mourning".

During this period

All subjects of the Kingdom of Denmark were not allowed to gather together for feasts, nobles were not allowed to hold lavish balls and evening feasts, and the people were not allowed to hold celebrations, and marriages and all other activities contrary to mourning were to be stopped.

Christian IX said this, and continued to chatter, saying;

"George was so strong, so intelligent and so intellect, and was my most illustrious child, with all the noble qualities of a king.

But why......

Such an unbelievable doom will befall him, and those insidious enemies with ulterior motives will say that they are damned, and I curse them all to hell.

And that abominable English widow......" said Christian IX, suddenly furious, and slammed his hand on the back of his chair.

Prime Minister Geben was stunned by His Majesty's sudden anger, and could only persuade; "Your Majesty, I would like to remind you that the Viscountess of Southampton is not a widow, her husband holds the important position of head of the British House of Lords, and is a very influential figure in British high society."

"This English slut and her husband should go to hell, they killed my George, this English slut is a witch possessed by the devil, she is the most suspicious, why would she let this woman go?"

"Your Majesty; A joint investigation team of the British and the Kingdom of Denmark had examined every inch of the estate and found nothing suspicious. The Viscountess of Southampton has 6 mistresses, and no suspicions have been found in her, and the suspicion of a witch has been ruled out. It was most likely an accident, but it just happened to King George. Prime Minister Geben had to patiently explain again.

Christian IX shook his head stubbornly, and said with a look of disbelief on his face; "It should be verified by the ancient methods of the Middle Ages, and the woman was thrown into the water......"

"Your Majesty, it's England after all, and the Viscountess of Southampton is a nobleman of great status." Prime Minister Geben felt that His Majesty the King was already a little crazy, and after thinking for a while, he persuaded in an accentuated tone;

"Princess Alexandra once wrote a special letter because of this matter, saying;

"Any excesses by the Kingdom of Denmark on this issue will greatly damage the close mutual trust between the British and Danish royal families, and will also create a gap between the crown prince and his wife."

"It is important to exercise caution so as not to lead to unforeseen and serious consequences."

Her Royal Highness the princess means;

No excesses could be taken against the Viscounts of Southampton, lest they provoke hostility in the London aristocracy.

Your Majesty;

Princess Alexandra's letter, another important pillar of the Danish royal family's marriage policy, has shown the seriousness of the problem, and the London aristocracy is using a magnifying glass to examine the actions of the Danish royal family, and must not go beyond the boundary.

Abandon the useless struggle, maybe this is the best solution. ”

The Danish royal rule was changed from 1846 to a constitutional monarchy, the cabinet had a considerable say, and Prime Minister Ogst Karl von Gerben was himself a traditional Danish nobleman, not relying on royal favor, and had a considerable independence.

Christian IX had a struggling look on his face, and after a long time he calmed down and said gloomily; "Perhaps...... You're right, dear Geben, I've been messed up by George's affairs, but I'm sticking to two days of mourning. ”

"As you wish, Your Majesty, I will do my best to persuade my fellow Cabinet members to understand the royal pain, and it should not be a big problem to pass."

"Alas...... Do you just give up the investigation? And what about the curse of the East? ”

Watching His Majesty King Christian entangled, Prime Minister Geben had to explain;

This British has been specifically investigated, and the so-called Eastern curse is called "witchcraft".

In the Oriental Witchcraft, the spellcasters are roughly divided into two categories:

Pictures, idols, hair, nails, clothing, names, zodiac signs, etc., of the victim, curse the victim with these foreign objects, and achieve the sinister purpose of taking his life or driving him crazy.

However, the witchcraft should not be too far away from the victim, and the foreign object curse is generally placed on the bed or indoors, at most it can only be placed next door, and if it is too far away, it will have no effect.

The villa has been searched repeatedly by the British, Greek and Danish investigation teams, and almost every inch has been searched, and no corresponding cursed items or other anomalies have been found, which has been officially determined by the Scotland Yard, the authority of the police in London.

The Church also participated in the investigation and ruled out the possibility of an evil curse.

After this

In the investigation of sexual affairs in various countries, there are occasional violent deaths of young people, but the number is very small and does not attract attention.

So, it was really an accident. ”

After listening

Christian IX was speechless for a long time, and said depressedly after a long while; "I did acquiesce in the reckless actions of the Danish Navy, would the Emperor of the East not take revenge?"

Prime Minister Geben rolled his eyes when he heard this, and he didn't want to make a stubble at all.

When has this been?

The European layout of the Kingdom of Denmark has collapsed half of the sky, and its own house has not been wiped clean, which is a mess.

At this time, I still want to provoke the Tang Empire, which is booming in Europe, and I don't know if His Majesty is crazy or hypocritical, is it really not enough trouble?
