Vienna, Caesars Grand Hotel, 2nd floor.

The confrontation between the two sides continues, and both sides understand that it will not end well once they start, and they cannot stop it.

This strange situation made both sides very uncomfortable, but no one dared to act rashly.

On the third floor, although Solomon Rothschild was distraught, he never heard the gunshots and did not see his men return, but he gradually came to his senses.

The following must have entered a stalemate, presumably the other party must be very difficult, although Solomon is a little arrogant, but not arrogant to the point of stupidity, he quickly distinguishes the pros and cons.

As a businessman, he still has to value peace, and he doesn't want to have another enemy at this time.

So Solomon immediately came downstairs with a few personal bodyguards, and he saw Sarconi who had been kidnapped by the Russians.

And the well-informed Solomon could not help frowning when he heard that Vasily's stiff German was mixed with some Austrian accent.

It is not surprising that Russians speak a few words of German, but Russians usually hire Prussians as tutors.

Since Tsar Peter III, there have been a large number of Prussian fans in Russia, and even the current Tsar Nicholas I is the son-in-law of the Prussian king.

And the Prussians could never have had an Austrian accent, and these people were indifferent when they heard their name, and it was obvious that they were not merchants who often traveled back and forth to Austria.

It is very likely that this is the result of the training of these bodyguards before a certain Russian bigwig came to Austria.

With the intelligence capabilities of the Rothschilds and Solomon's experience, it is easy to determine the identity of the other party.

Although Solomon Rothschild was extremely disgusted with each other, he couldn't do anything with them even in his own palace.

"Sir, can you let go of my employees?" Solomon's voice was not loud, but there was an irresistible majesty.

Vasily was stunned for a moment, then pushed Sacconi away, and then raised his hands to show that he was not hostile.

"You're that Solomon, aren't you? I heard you're amazing? ”

"I'm not great, I'm just a businessman, I hope we can both stop here, my employees have been offended a lot, this is my compensation to you."

Hearing Solomon's words, Vasily and the others all made a nasal voice of disdain.

When Solomon's servants opened the box, they all shut their mouths again.

The box contained a box of golden sincerity, and there were 10 small gold bars lying quietly in it.

The value of the gold was almost 11,000 florins, or 110 years of the salary of an average Austrian soldier.

Vasily did not speak, nor did he step forward to take the box, which further confirmed Solomon's speculation that if it were ordinary people, how could they resist the temptation of gold.

Just when Solomon thought he was in control, the door to the room on the second floor was opened.

A young man appeared at the door, and two beautiful girls were dressing him.

"I'm not used to living here, let's live in a different place. And the vampire (another name for the usury banker), I heard that your family is very rich, but it is not a good habit to waste money, and if you have more money, you can consider donating it to the church or the state. ”

The young man scratched his head again and continued with a look of remorse.

"Oh, I forgot, you Jews don't have a country of your own."

The two girls beside the young man couldn't help but laugh, but the faces of the people on Solomon's side were extremely ugly.

Fortunately, Solomon was very skillful and motioned for his servant to bring the gold forward.

Instead of letting the servant go on, Vasily snatched the box and walked over to the young man with a smile.

After all, in Vasily's eyes, it is indeed a happy thing to have money to take after scolding.

The young man grabbed the gold bar impatiently, sniffed it in front of his nose, and knocked over the box.

"Gold is a good thing, but it's a pity that it smells of Jews, keep it for yourself, make a coffin, maybe you can use it."

At this time, Sakny, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly roared like a dog with an owner by his side.

"You're dead! King Solomon won't let him go! ”

I really wanted to shoot this idiot in front of me, but now it's useless.

The young man heard Thackney's roar, but only looked back and smiled.

"Aren't all the kings of Austria held by the Emperor of Austria? Do you Jews intend to establish a state in Vienna? ”

Thackney looked back at Solomon, a chill in the latter's eyes that had enveloped him.

The young man did not wait for anyone to answer, but strode down the stairs, and the attendants behind him also left with him, without glancing at the gold on the ground.

On the first floor, the hotel manager was still trying to persuade Archduke Karl not to go upstairs.

In fact, the hotel manager was a little dazed, Archduke Karl had a mansion in Vienna, and there was no need for him to come to the hotel to stay.

The hotel manager heard footsteps, looked back and saw that it was a guest on the second floor, and immediately shouted in front of Archduke Karl.

"Protect Archduke Karl...."

Then the hotel manager was kicked down by the guards beside Archduke Karl.

The young man downstairs was stunned at first when he saw Archduke Karl, and then smiled and opened his arms.

"Hello, dear Uncle Carl."

Archduke Karl also stretched out his hand and hugged each other.

"Hello, Alexander. Have fun in Vienna? ”

"Yes, it's a very beautiful city, the city is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful." Alexander smiled and picked on Archduchess Karolina who was hiding behind Archduke Karl.

Carolina is the youngest daughter of Archduke Karl, and she is eleven years old, which is the age at which the yellow-mouthed child is transformed into a girl, and she is both curious and a little afraid of boys.

Archduke Karl was notoriously strict with his sons, but he was also known for his doting on his two daughters.

This caused Karolina to be a little rude, and Grand Duke Karl lovingly touched Karolina's head and introduced Alexander.

"This is Carolina, my little daughter, she's a little shy, please don't mind."

Alexander looked at the Grand Duchess Carolina, who had come to Vienna nominally for a study tour, but his father had given him an errand, that of finding a wife, preferably German, in order to carry out his father's great plan.

Although Alexander was dissatisfied with the task given to him by Nicholas I, he gave in after being beaten several times.

Although the Carolina Archduchess's father, Archduke Karl, was not a king, his family's wealth and status were not inferior to those of the German princes.

Moreover, the marriage with the Habsburgs is very beneficial to Russia, after all, there has been constant friction between Britain and Russia, all kinds of-for-tat confrontations emerge in an endless stream, and there is a deep blood feud between Russia and France.

The king of Prussia was the father-in-law of Nicholas I, and the two men had different personalities but shared the same philosophy, and Wilhelm III also helped suppress the Polish uprising, which made the two more close.

In the struggle for hegemony between Russia and Britain, Austria will undoubtedly be an important weight in the balance of victory.

It's just that Alexander's prey-like gaze gave Carolina a very bad first impression.

In Carolina's eyes, Alexander seems to be a big bad wolf who wants to eat the white rabbit.

So Carolina continued to hide behind Archduke Karl, and said coquettishly, "Father, I'm afraid. ”
