Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme
Chapter 28 It’s time for the king to get out
As time went by, August's reputation continued to rise, and he soon became the target of the powerful. Coupled with his beautiful appearance, he suddenly became the most famous person in the aristocratic circle, with countless confessions of love. The letter was delivered to Auguste's home, but it was clear that Auguste was not interested in getting married.
But this is hard work for Valentina. She has to read those letters every day, and then separate the letters from Moltke and the others and the letters of confession. To be honest, Valentina is a little tired of aesthetics. These nobles Her mind was really full of pornographic waste, but finally, almost a month later, Valentina finally received a letter from Moltke.
Valentina hurriedly gave the letter to August, and the busy August was finally able to find a reason to convince himself to take a break.
"A letter from Moltke?"
August took the letter, read its contents carefully, and then showed uncontrollable joy on his face.
"Moltke actually found the leader of the Liberal Party. The Liberal Party has been persecuted by King Prudential. Their interest groups are tired of the current King Prudential and are willing to negotiate with me..."
Valentina was surprised when she heard the news and said, "Does that mean the liberals plan to support Miss August?"
"They support me in overthrowing the current King of Prussia. It seems that I still need to have a good chat with the leader of the Liberal Party."
.......
In December, winter has already entered, and Christmas will be here in a few days. The weather is a bit cold. In this very beautiful month, the nobles held a large gathering in Berlin. August was of course invited to come. However, most of the guests at this banquet were business aristocrats from the Liberal Party, as well as the Speaker of Parliament, the leader of the Liberal Party and other liberal members.
"Your Highness August, I have long admired your name. My name is Russell Stein, the leader of the Liberal Party."
Russell excitedly shook August's hand. His hand was a little cold, and August could feel it through a thin layer of gloves.
"Mr. Party Leader, this is our first meeting. What do you think of King Pu?"
August asked with a smile. It seemed that she didn't want to talk so much nonsense. Russell understood what she meant. They each appeared here with their own purposes.
"King? He is a courageous man, admired by all parties."
Translation: King? That guy has cerebral palsy, and everyone has been unhappy with him for a long time!
August said with a smile, "I am very concerned about the current events in Berlin. I would like to ask Mr. Russell to explain. Is this a decision of the Parliament?"
Russell: "Oh, there is a lot of snow in front of the Parliament. The king is very courageous."
August: "Really? If the weather gets cold, it will be bad if the king has any physical problems. If the king is unwell, he may need a regent to help him solve his problems."
Russell: "Oh, I would say, yes, getting sick is inevitable."
August: "The regent must be able to win the trust of the people and meet the needs of the people. As the leader of the Liberal Party, Mr. Russell should be able to represent the people, right?"
Russell: "Of course, I need... No, I mean the national needs, freedom of speech, freedom of industry and commerce, restriction of aristocratic rights, tax cuts, reduction of military spending, and of course others."
August: "The military also hopes to have someone qualified for the position of regent. Compared to the military, which already has candidates, what is the Liberal Party's view?"
Russell: "Then...it would be great if both of us could reach an agreement. When will the king get sick?"
August: "If the Liberal Party is willing, then soon, within a month, about two weeks later, it will be too late, and the military may lose patience with the king."
Russell: "Of course, what His Royal Highness the Regent said is absolutely true."
August and Russell laughed out loud at the same time. Valentina, who was following August, was a little confused. The two played riddles for a long time and seemed to have reached an agreement.
After talking about the matter, August left the party. On the way home, Valentina asked August.
"Miss August, what did you say to Mr. Russell? Why didn't I understand it clearly?"
"It's just some rhetoric. If I want the support of liberals, I need to meet their needs. I can meet most of what they say. There is only one issue that will conflict with the military. The only issue is military spending. I pretend that I have already got it." Without the support of the military, the liberals also need to make some concessions in order not to lose their powerful position, and then it depends on Moltke's side."
The parliament has already settled it. August has drawn a big pie for them. At any rate, it is finally under control. The next question is how to win the support of the military.
August hurried back to Königsberg the next day. Moltke and Ron found some officers with good relationships and a certain degree of power, such as Steinmetz, Manteuffel, Stiller and other famous generals. , a total of ten people, seemingly a group of officers headed by Steinmetz.
Facing the group of officers, August became much more serious. "If we don't make so many detours, His Majesty the King may not be able to continue to be in power. The Parliament has decided to establish a regent. I wonder what you think, General?"
"Humph, the army will not make it impossible for the king to govern. The army supports the country's political power, whether it is the king or the second prince. If the regent is willing to implement this policy, then the army thinks it is acceptable to let the king rest."
"this is?"
August took a quick look and found that it was just as he imagined. The people in the army only had military expenses and soldiers in their minds.
"Well, I believe that the Regent will be happy to promote this policy. This is exactly what I...well, His Highness the Regent wants!"
Steinmetz suddenly felt something was wrong. What do you mean he is not the second prince?
"Shouldn't it be?"
"Huh?" August's smile shocked Steinmetz a little. This was really a decision that went against his ancestors.
He held his forehead and said, "Is it really you? If the Emperor knows..."
"The Emperor will be happy because he will see the rejuvenation of a nation!"
At that time, the army expressed its support for August, but they did not intend to participate in the coup. The parliament also had the same attitude. Since the regent both parties wanted to support was the same person, the next thing had nothing to do with August. Okay, let the two of them clarify the issue of profit distribution first.
It would be best if the two families could get together, August couldn't help but think, but thinking about it, it was still impossible, at least not possible now. The interests of these civilian groups and the people of the General Staff were not in the same place, so they would not fight. A life or death.
"There is still one last step left. Let's stay in Königsberg for the next two weeks and return to Berlin after a while."
"Yes, Miss August!"
