The rest of the council halls, Albrecht didn't even bother to give his own assessment.

The new Swedish king was afraid of Russian power, and at the same time of the British, so he chose to be a man with his tail between his legs.

Oscar I thought that in this way he would be able to offend both sides, but it turned out that this vacillation from side to side offended both powers.

Guedas Calff was the Queen's envoy to the Queen of Portugal, and he was indeed a capable man who was instrumental in reviving Portugal's economy.

But Gedas Calf was well aware of the strength of his country, and although he was not afraid, he was also in an awkward state of being without a place to live.

However, the Dutch merchant King Wilhelm II was very excited, he felt that this was a major increase in the international standing of the Netherlands, and he was very grateful for inviting him to join the Austrian side, but as above no one paid attention to it.

The French Foreign Minister, the Duke of Napoleon Lannes de Montebello, chose to remain silent, and although the French King Louis Philippe had given the new foreign minister a lot of "chicken blood" before his arrival, he did not intend to "show his talents".

Although the Duke of Napoleon Lannes de Montebello was only 43 years old, he was already a patriarch of three French dynasties. And it can be mixed well in every day, which shows the flexibility of its moral bottom line.

In fact, it was wise for France to stay out of the situation, because at this time the French forces were too scattered to deal with the contingency, but all the officials in the country knew that war could break out at any time.

As for the Near East crisis, it is the British and Austrians who should be troubled, and France can choose to reap the benefits.

Of course, it is not impossible to mentally support a certain force, in short, the greater the gap between the anti-French alliances in those years, the smaller the constraints on France.

Lord Thurwell of Prussia began to gnaw on the pig's trotters, after all, it was none of his business to hang high, and it was better to fill his stomach than to make trouble by saying the wrong thing.

In Lord Thurwell's mind, Ludwig von Lens was a genius when he came up with the idea of eating pig's trotters at an international conference?

Lord Thurwell felt that this method was really useful, so that he was no longer nervous about meetings, and he had something to do, but his body was getting bigger and bigger.

As for the Danish side, Ramon Dietlev was a well-known orator in history, but due to the limitations of national power, he was the most inconspicuous one.

What was supposed to be a solemn and tense international conference turned out to be a bit comical when it was analyzed by Albrecht.

Albrecht didn't like this kind of meeting, and he didn't want to beat around the bush.

"Mr. George Hamilton, your offer is tempting, but our country has no ambitions for Serbia and will not annex it.

At the same time, we reiterate our view that we respect the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire and its dependent states, and that we are willing to contribute to peace in the Near East and even in Europe.

But Russia's rights and interests must also be safeguarded, and this is a matter of national honor and dignity. ”

Neserlov was still very satisfied with this answer, after all, he was waiting for the Austrians to make a statement.

Andrei Uvarov was actually ordered to come to Vienna, but after all, he was not qualified to represent the Tsar on such a prestigious occasion.

But this favorite of Tsar Nicholas I has proven himself again and again. He is very sensitive to the international situation and knows the rules of this game.

That is, which side the Austrian Empire stood on, and which side was the ultimate winner. The sub-powers could not influence the situation at all, and Prussia had no choice but to choose Austria to stand on the united front, otherwise it would be the first to be unlucky.

And the French, if sensible enough, would not have intervened in this Near Eastern crisis.

Reality turned out as he expected, so Neserlov's confidence grew.

Then came the tug-of-war between Russia and Great Britain, and the representatives of the other countries were completely silent.

This also included the Ottoman Empire, which was the bitter master, and Lezhapsha could only silently pray that the British would win, and that the Russians would not be angry with him, and there was no doubt that he could not afford to offend either side.

The first day of the meeting did not lead to anything, but after a trial and beyond, the three parties already had a rough idea of the so-called bottom line.

The rest is haggling, and of course there are people who are not clear, such as Lord George Hamilton.

He approached Archduke Albrecht directly and expressed his willingness to support Austria's territorial claims in the Italian region.

The British are still generous to others, but fortunately, Franz urgently gave Archduke Albrecht a wave of science popularization before.

Now the latter could easily see through this trick, which made him admire his nephews and despise these diplomats who were played around by a child.

George Hamilton, seeing Albrecht's seemingly unmoved, made an offer that he would regret for the rest of his life.

"Archduke Albrecht, if you are willing to do me this little favor, I am willing to sponsor you ten thousand pounds."

Archduke Karl was already the richest nobleman in Austria, and with a large investment in the royal estate (Franz's estate), his assets have multiplied several times compared to history.

Ten thousand pounds was a pitiful amount for Albrecht, the future Grand Duke of Cheshen.

He said with a look of pity for the other party's proposal.

"Your Excellency Hamilton, if you can help me, how about I give you a hundred thousand pounds?"

George Hamilton's eyes lit up when he heard 100,000 pounds, he didn't hear the other party's ridicule at all, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered.

"Archduke, are you serious?"

Albrecht's reaction surprised Albrecht, but he knew very well that this kind of face was blinded by money.

Albrecht nodded earnestly, knowing that there were not many such opportunities, and that problems that could be solved with money would not be a problem.

It would be a good deal to buy a high-ranking British official with money, but he didn't know what Franz would do with this guy in front of him.

"Lord Hamilton, I have an appointment now. There's a ball at my family's estate tomorrow night, and I'd like you to enjoy it, and we'll talk about it later. ”

Albrecht motioned for Adjani, who was not the former's date, but it was a good shield, after all, who could refuse an invitation from a beautiful woman.

In fact, Adjani was sent by Franz to pick up Albrecht, and he had to know how the meeting was going before he could make his next move.

When George Hamilton saw Adjani coming over, he naturally "understood" what Archduke Albrecht meant.

"What a charming young lady. You should have told me about it a long time ago. Even the well-informed George Hamilton still admired.

"I'm sorry I was rude. This is Miss Adjani, the royal chamberlain. ”

"This is Lord Hamilton, the British ambassador."

Albrecht made a brief introduction.

George Hamilton subconsciously stretched out his hand, Adjani naturally knew the British kiss ceremony, and the latter did not want to spoil the ambassador's interest, so he could only stretch out his hand.

The former kissed greedily.

"Your beauty is the only one I have ever seen in my life, can I enjoy it at the grand duke's ball tomorrow?"

Adjani hurriedly withdrew her hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid this won't work, I still have to take the child."

Sorry, we couldn't update it today. The hand was scratched by a cat, and although it was not heavy, it still needed an injection.

Today teased an Alaska, but this dog played and pounced on me directly, and then happened to press his hand on a domestic cat.
