Saeed was horrified when his plan was seen through, and he didn't expect that this unattractive little man had actually seen through his thoughts.

True, the ambitious sultan did set up a feast, waiting for the Austrian admirals to be introduced into the palace before designing a siege and finally capturing the harbor fleet.

If you are arrogant and stupid and unfamiliar with the rules of the Eastern game, it is indeed possible to make such a mistake. But alas, Franz was well versed in the rules of the game in the East, and Friedrich, although arrogant, was not to the point of stupidity.

Said's words made Friedrich think deeply, and he felt that he was almost old enough to get married.

Normally, the marriage of a member of the royal family like him is in the interests of the family, which means that it is usually decided by the patriarch.

It's just that the current emperor Ferdinand I probably doesn't have the ability to do this, and he doesn't have the mood to study his marriage.

The history of the Habsburgs was not without pagan marriages, the first being his father, Archduke Karl.

But marry an Arab. It's exciting to think about, but it's not like there's no other way, such as just converting Queen Chenla like Archduke Ambrosius did.

It's just that there is still a big difference between Friedrich and Ambrosius, after all, one is a direct royal line, while the other is a side branch.

Friedrich wanted to make trouble, but he didn't have the right or the guts. But it's okay to see what the other person looks like first.

Friedrich looked at Said, who was panicked in front of him, and comforted him.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but I've recently contracted an illness that kills me if I get too far away from the ship. So why don't you have a dinner party on my flagship? You can bring both the food and the princess. ”

A lie that Friedrich had invented suddenly overloaded Said's brain.

He didn't believe it at first, but then he was relieved to think that the Austrian Emperor was said to be an idiot who could only wake up for two hours a day.

The latter couldn't help but feel that the world was so big, and at the same time began to worry about the rest of his daughter's life.

Although he was reluctant, Saeed had no choice but to sacrifice his favorite daughter, Princess Sneka, because only this princess was the smartest, most beautiful, and most able to fight for the interests of the Omani Empire, and at the same time could speak German.

Said separates power from family affection, for the sake of his power, for the sake of his empire, any parents, brothers, wives and children can be abandoned.

The conversation between Friedrich and Said made the entourage of both parties look confused, and they were just nervous, and they were about to talk about marriage, which was really easy for people to react.

However, the officials on the Omani side could understand it, after all, they saw with their own eyes that the Austrian fleet was even more terrifying than the legend, and they could fully understand the Sultan's behavior at this time.

After all, a good man does not suffer immediate losses, and in the Arab world, daughters are really not valuable "items". In the Arab world at this time, women were in a subordinate position, and sometimes they could even be executed for the sake of family fame.

Therefore, it can be used for marriage is simply to make the best use of things and die well

When Said boarded the Vanisia, he did not perform much better than his second son, Majid.

Said was not uninformed, he had boarded the British 74-gun battleship and bought two of them at his own expense.

But the "Venezia" in front of him was twice the size of an ordinary 74-gun battleship, which really shocked the East African hegemon, who stayed there for a long time.

The Omani princes and officials who were traveling with them also bowed their heads, and they could not help but admire Mayad, because they did not dare to exchange fire with such a terrible fleet.

Friedrich invited only a few of the officers and Omani top brass to dinner, so the security guard was not difficult to handle.

The Omani side was still very efficient, and immediately set up temporary tents near the port, and all kinds of delicacies were constantly delivered to the ship.

There were even dancers and bands coming to help, Friedrich seemed to be in a lack of interest, while Said was preoccupied.

On the contrary, the economic officials on both sides talked very speculatively.

After all, the conditions offered by Austria were too generous compared to those of the Portuguese and the British, and the market was not ordinarily large.

This is natural, after all, Austria has a monopoly on Omani spices, and of course it will do its best, and as for the so-called vast market, it is naturally the German Customs Union, the Apennine Customs Union, and Russia.

Compared with the British and Portuguese guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, Franz is naturally much more kind. But in fact, the latter is more profitable than the former, because of the monopoly relationship.

Franz could adopt a policy of small profits but quick turnover, which would allow his citizens and allies to enjoy the benefits, while Austria and Oman could earn more.

The only consequence is to seize market share in the Netherlands, Portugal, and the United Kingdom, forcing these cannibalistic guys to cut prices.

Of course, if these idiots can come up with any price alliance, Franz promises to beat them so that they don't even know their mothers.

Austria's troubles, the Dutch East Indies suffered huge losses, but it didn't matter to the Netherlands proper, especially the Dutch king himself, who hoped that those guys in the Dutch East Indies would die early, so that his government could better control the overseas colonies.

The British and Portuguese were completely driven out of the German and Italian markets by Austria, although they were now less concerned with the spice trade, but focused on opium, the "most valuable" commodity of the nineteenth century.

The Austrian Empire forbade the abuse of opium, and for no reason that the emperor did not like the church, and the people at the bottom did not despair to the point that they could not live without opium.

Therefore, opium in Austria was always treated as a harmful medicine, which was inseparable from the propaganda of the aristocracy and the church, and the so-called upward and downward effects were exactly that.

In fact, medicine in Austria has developed much faster than in history, so many conditions do not require the use of narcotics by doctors.

While frantically promoting Chinese medicine, the church has eliminated a large number of rogue doctors who can only bleed patients and drink opium tinctures.

In fact, the level of Chinese medicine in the church has developed very rapidly. Because there are a large number of believers and poor people who can use their practical skills, and there is no such thing as hiding within the church.

The doctors of the church consider it to be the property of the church, and the extensive practice of communication, coupled with mutual learning, has led to a rapid increase in the overall level of the organization.

Of course, the Austrian Church was divided into two factions, one believing that it was God's will to cure the same disease, and that the sick and the rescuer were not pious enough.

The other school of thought believes that God is merciful and cannot be cured because the rescuer does not understand God's language, and that the illness that arises in the sick is actually a revelation. Therefore, the same disease should not be treated together.

In the end, the two sides started the game to decide the winner, and the latter was naturally the winner.

As a result, the development of traditional Chinese medicine in Austria has entered the fast lane, but the Western medicine heavily funded by Franz has not produced any decent results.

The anesthetic technique, which was finally born at the urging of Franz himself, was stolen by the church after changing hands.

In fact, although the ideas of these magic sticks are outrageous, they have found a new way to touch the threshold of the highest level of Chinese medicine - a moment of enlightenment.
