Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

August left his father's room. Frederick III would definitely not let him go without taking some special measures.

But I don’t really want to rely on my eldest brother and second brother. These two are not worthy of my trust. Let’s not talk about the eldest brother for now. In order not to meet his eldest brother Wallrich, the second brother found a reason to go outside. Yes, even the tea party was canceled.

Although August is not very interested in this, the conflict between the two brothers does seem to be irreconcilable, but she does not want to have a Xuanwu Sect incident to give her a wave of intensity.

August came to the courtyard alone. This was the place closest to nature, and it seemed that only here could August feel peaceful.

But compared to enjoying the quiet time, she had more important things to do. The year 1844 was not an easy year. According to the history of the earth, in 1840, Daiying launched a war caused by the Great Smog against the Qing Dynasty in the east. special military operations.

But the history of this world took another year, and the war did not start until 1841. This also made August realize that history was indeed a little different, and it was hard to say what would happen next.

However, without reform, the Qing Dynasty was still the weakest among the great powers. It was beaten, ceded territory and paid indemnities. The Free America in America and the Orleans Dynasty in France both got a share of the pie.

Now Prussia has some ideas, but not many, because the German region has not yet been unified, and now it has to face the eyeing Austrian Empire. This big brother still maintains the entire German Confederation.

Prussia's biggest enemies now are undoubtedly Austria and France.

August sighed, although it had little to do with him, but because of this or that relationship, sometimes land annexation was also done to improve his strength. Marrying a daughter can be said to be the favorite operation of P Society war criminals.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? You look unhappy?"

A childish-sounding voice came over. This was August's maid. She was two years younger than August. Her name was as beautiful and childish as hers.

"Valentina? I'm fine. I'm just feeling sulky because my request to go to Berlin was rejected. Let's not talk about it for now. You should have bought the things I asked you to buy, right?"

Valentina took out a large roll of newspaper from the vegetable basket. This was the most widely circulated newspaper in Prussia, the Brandenzeitung. The content on it was relatively open. August would buy a copy of it almost every week. one look.

First of all, it is because the technological level of this world is not as advanced as modern times. Even things like electricity and electromagnetic waves have not yet appeared, and even the theory does not exist yet.

Don't even think about radio, I haven't heard of anything.

Now that everything is like this, you shouldn't expect the world to have such a convenient thing as a mobile phone. The only way to understand the outside world is newspapers. After Europeans left newspapers, they probably wouldn't even have anything to gossip about after dinner.

However, there was another reason why August insisted on reading newspapers, which was to see Marx’s articles published in his lifetime.

The founder of socialism, his name is known all over the world. August was born in the same country and in the same era as him. It would be a big loss if he could not see Marx's works with his own eyes.

If you're lucky, you can get an autograph or something, but Lenin and the like are much further away. August doesn't know if she'll be able to meet Lenin in her lifetime, maybe she'll be an old woman by then.

Open it and keep it open. As usual, there are articles written on various doctrines. There are articles written by professors about the economy, and there are also critics criticizing the current situation of the country, but most of them are just words of praise.

Scolding you that this is bad and that is not good, when it comes to solving problems, you can't find them offline, and pretend to be dead online. Generally, this kind of person is called Kouhai Ge.

The more important hot spot above is the coronation of Oscar I as King of the United Kingdom of Sweden and Norway, and then there is actually no more. August is not interested in the critics' nonsense.

"No? Forget it, that's it. I didn't have any expectations. Valentina, are you interested in going out with me? This big house is so boring. I want to have some fun."

"Miss, are you going out? Do you need to tell the Duke?"

"Oh, that's not necessary. He will be back soon. Besides, father has other things to deal with right now and has no time to worry about me."

"Okay, but Miss is really weird. She says she doesn't like going out, but she drags me out shopping every day."

"The simple truth is that I feel more suffocated at home than outside where I don't like it."
