Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme
Chapter 137 The miserable Prime Minister
Austria is still a little nervous about this matter. If this war breaks out, it will be difficult for everyone. Reina personally came to the city of Breslau in Silesia. When he came in, he found that something was wrong. Ron and Moltke were both here. , and it seems that the arrow is ready to go.
Moltke sent someone to receive him, but did not meet him in person. Logically speaking, when the prime minister of a country comes to visit, the top leader of the region must meet with him no matter what, but Moltke ignored him directly. On the side.
This series of actions made Reiner feel a little pressure. He recognized that the Prussian First Army under Moltke's command was stationed here. It was Prussia's real elite force. If it was not to launch a war, then Prussia would definitely not use such a powerful force. troops are placed in such a place.
He didn't want to wake up and find that Prussia had entered Austria. At his strong request, Moltke still met with him.
Reina came up and said politely, "General Moltke, I haven't seen you for a long time. The last time we met was on the battlefield of the German-Danish War. Your military accomplishments at that time were impressive."
Moltke smiled and said, "No, it's just a show of force. Then the Austrian Prime Minister Mr. Reiner suddenly came here. He only sent a telegram to Berlin beforehand. It's a bit confusing why Mr. Reiner came here, and in addition, The General Staff is very busy and doesn’t have time to receive you, I’m sorry.”
"I still want to talk to Ms. Bismarck about the ownership of Schleswig and Holstein in the German-Danish War. I sent a telegram to Berlin, but did not receive a reply from Berlin, so I rushed here first. ”
Moltke nodded, "I see. Maybe Prime Minister Bismarck didn't see it? If that's the case, you might have to send a few more telegrams to Berlin, or go directly to Berlin to find Prime Minister Bismarck."
Reiner had no choice but to accept this result. Of course, Tina received Reiner's telegram, but she chose to ignore it and did not reply. She just hung up on Reiner and waited for him to come to Berlin. It was still not stable in Silesia. After all, Austria also has [-] troops in the Sudeten Mountains, and Reiner may still have some confidence there.
But coming to Berlin is like a sheep entering a tiger's den. Here Reina is not so confident. If he puts a little pressure on him, Reina will probably have to give in with courtesy.
Reina waited in Breslau for a few days. Later, he sent two more telegrams asking her to come here for a meeting, but Tina ignored them all. Now he must be more anxious.
After two weeks, Austrian Prime Minister Reiner was still scared. Especially when he heard about the military mobilization, he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep all night. It took more than ten days to make him uneasy, so he had to go Berlin looks for Tina.
All he wanted now was to reach a treaty quickly and then go home and sleep.
The venue of the meeting was chosen in the conference hall in Berlin. Tina heard that Reiner had given up, and arranged a meeting for him at a very hellish time, at nine o'clock in the evening on the day he arrived in Berlin.
Reina had to go to the conference hall to discuss the territorial issue with Bismarck before he had a good rest after running to Berlin. This was really a double torture both mentally and physically. The two of them quarreled frequently at the National Assembly in Frankfurt. All the root hairs are falling out.
Finally I met Bismarck in the Berlin parliament hall. Reiner had never been to Berlin before. He was shocked when he came for the first time, because the Gou-[-] Congress was too small, right? Like an office building at the entrance of a village.
Moreover, the church next to it is about the same size as the National Assembly, and even bigger. Is Prussia very poor?
So what's the point of building a huge thing that occupies a very large area in the middle of Berlin? They even covered it all with white cloth, making it look like there was some big conspiracy.
Coming to Berlin this time does give people a very strange feeling. First of all, in terms of clothing, the clothes in Berlin are developing in a strange direction. There are actually Japanese clothing stores. What have you never seen before? Reina said this thing is strange.
All kinds of clothing are developing in a slightly astringent direction. You can see a lot of maid outfits with medium and short skirts for sale in Berlin, as well as some novelty items. Berlin is completely different from other capitals. , I didn’t see a beggar on the road.
The extra-wide skirts and aristocratic dresses that you can see in Vienna are almost impossible to see in Berlin. Although there are still some, they are very few.
Berlin citizens basically have bicycles, and there are dedicated bicycle lanes on the street, right next to the carriageway.
This kind of developed scene was not available in Vienna, which made Reina very alert. Prussia's national power may already be comparable to that of the great powers, and it may even surpass the Austrian Empire.
"I didn't expect the Austrian Prime Minister to come to Berlin in person. It's really disappointing." August specially met with Reina.
"Where, His Royal Highness the Regent is getting more and more beautiful. The reason why I came here this time was very clear in my previous telegram, so I won't go into details."
"Is it for Schleswig and Holstein? We did receive Mr. First's telegram, but due to recent events, Prime Minister Bismarck can't get away. There is no other way. Renner, who is also the Prime Minister, Sir, you should also understand how busy the Prime Minister is, right?"
"Yes, what about Ms. Bismarck? Can I go see her?"
"She is already in the conference room. Can I also participate in this meeting? I hope to reach a term that is beneficial to both of us."
"Of course Madam Regent, I would be honored."
Reina breathed a sigh of relief. August's reputation in Austria was still good, which was far better than that of Tina.
Thanks to the German Customs Union, many Prussian businessmen went to Austria to publicize how Prussia took off under August's governance, and these Prussian businessmen became the main means for the Austrians to learn about Prussian intelligence.
In the eyes of many Austrians, there are no beggars in Prussia. Workers earn a monthly salary of more than ten or twenty euros. Enterprises have minimum wages and maximum working hours. State-owned enterprises and civil servants in the establishment even have a ten-hour work system and various Such insurance.
This can deceive the Austrian people into a daze. It is obvious that the Prussians are bragging, but of course the good things are in the bigger picture. This has led to most people not having a particularly clear understanding of Prussia. I know that Prussia is rich and ordinary people can live happily.
Of course, Reina also preconceived the idea that August was an elegant and easy-going good person, and he should be more comfortable talking to her. After all, her appearance was also very deceptive, and it was easy for her to give people a very friendly impression.
But in fact, under August's feminine appearance, there is also huge ambition, and all of this is well hidden by her.
