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

Although the French left, they did not cut off the land connection between Prussia and the Kingdom of Sardinia. In October, the Kingdom of Sardinia was officially renamed the Kingdom of Italy.

As Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, Cavour began to cooperate with Prussia in all aspects, including finance, politics, and military. He even sent several study groups to Prussia to study Augustus's reform plan.

Italian affairs were inevitably linked to Prussia, and Prussia's help to the Kingdom of Italy spread throughout Europe. The Italians discovered that this Prussia did not seem to be a bad person.

He's quite nice...

He sent troops to help Sardinia when it was in crisis, still chose to support Sardinia when France withdrew its troops, and was the first to recognize the Kingdom of Italy after its founding. These buffs are all stacked up, and the Italians have a good impression of the Prussians.

In October 1861, after the war with Austria, Napoleon III held a meeting in Zurich. The participants were the French Emperor Napoleon III, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy Cavour, the Regent of the Kingdom of Prussia Auguste, and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia. Tina, Queen Victoria of the British Empire and Lillian, the British Minister of Health.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cavour is a little follower behind Auguste. He dare not take a breath in Zurich. Everyone present is the leader of Europe. He is the prime minister of a small country of first or third rate. Auguste brought himself on his own.

In fact, August himself didn't want to come, but he had no choice. Victoria had already gone. Even if he didn't want to meet Napoleon III anymore, Victoria still had to give him face.

Before the meeting started, everyone still had some time to chat. Napoleon III shook hands with Auguste and said, "Hello, beautiful Miss Regent of Prussia. I have long heard that Miss Auguste is beautiful. It's amazing to see her today." Nothing worse than that.”

"Thank you, His Majesty Napoleon III. Your record in Italy is impressive. You can win even though your troops are inferior to the enemy. In my opinion, your level is not much worse than that of Napoleon the Great."

Auguste said flatteringly that everyone knew Napoleon III's economic and diplomatic achievements, but his commanding ability was poor, and even though he was victorious, the casualties paid by the French army were actually quite high.

But in the end, we still won, so these problems are actually not problems.

Napoleon III was very impressed by these words and wanted to kiss Auguste's hand. This was a common etiquette among European nobles, but Auguste didn't like it.

She retracted her hand, and in order to prevent Napoleon III from being embarrassed, she even gave him a wink, smiled, and then turned and left.

August went to find Victoria, but Victoria was still the same. She was actually not very interested in this meeting. Originally, she wanted to send the Foreign Secretary or the Prime Minister, but Lillian asked her to come, so she came. .

August couldn't help but ask, "Who is this Miss Lillian?"

"She is the granddaughter of the Prince of Wales."

"what?"

August was stunned, the granddaughter of Edward VII?

How old is Edward VII this year? Why do you have a granddaughter? And that’s not right. How old is Victoria? Less than forty years old, what the hell is going on?

"Oh, she is not my son's daughter, but the granddaughter of George IV and the Crown Prince of Hanover. She is very interesting. She is one of my favorite juniors, right?"

August was already confused. The granddaughter of George IV? In other words, she is Princess Charlotte’s daughter? No, shouldn't Princess Charlotte have died in childbirth long ago?

So what is her relationship with Victoria? After a little confusion, August said that he had given up thinking. Thinking about the British royal family is really nerve-wracking.

Lillian's appearance is much different from Victoria's. Her hair is very beautiful blond and she has light blue eyes. She looks a bit like the King of Silly Hair, but with long hair, which means she looks more like Joan of Arc. , almost the same height as August.

Once broken, she becomes more like Joan of Arc, and there is no way she can go back.

But among all the national leaders, there is such a minister of health. What does the minister of health mean? It's about managing medical care and the environment. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have much to do with politics.

How could the British Empire let a little girl act so mischievously? Where is the Prime Minister? What about the Foreign Secretary? Those who really care about this are no longer here.

Lillian is now sitting at the desk. She seems not to have heard the conversation between August and Victoria. She is holding a copy of "The Destruction of the Empire" in her hand.

"Lillian likes that book very much and always takes it to explain to others. Sometimes I wonder if she is too smart." Victoria said with a smile.

"Where, isn't it a good thing to have energy? Can I say a few words to her?"

"Of course, I'm going to prepare the content of the meeting first. See you in the conference room later."

Victoria turned and left the room, and August looked at this girl who was a little younger than him, probably only 18 years old.

August tried hard to be friendly. In her eyes, this little girl probably became the Minister of Health through connections. After all, she had never heard of her and had no public achievements.

"Hello Miss Lillian? Can I interrupt you for a moment?"

Lilian turned to look at August, she stood up and bowed, "Hello, Your Highness August, I'm so sorry that I didn't notice you just now."

"No, it's nothing actually. Are you watching "Downfall"?"

"This is a great book. It describes many details of World War II. Some of the events I really didn't know about. I am really grateful to the author."

There was his signature written on the book. Although something felt wrong, August still said with a smile.

"I am the author of this book. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

"Well, thank you, Miss August. It seems that the Bechamo area was not carved out during the Soviet-Finnish War. You missed an incident. Bechamo was a territory lost by Finland after the war. "Lillian said with a smile.

August thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Oh, I remembered, I was indeed mistaken..."

The territories that Finland lost during the Soviet-Finnish War were Karelia, Sara, and the Rybachi Peninsula. As for the Bechamo area, it was ceded when the Soviet-Finnish war continued, but August did not write about continuing the war. things.

"Thank you, I will pay attention next time."

This is when Tina suddenly came over and said, "August, there is a meeting."

"Oh okay, Miss Lillian, we'll see you next time."

"Well, I'm looking forward to it."

August and Tina were walking side by side in the corridor. August was wondering if he had remembered anything wrong.

"What's wrong with you August?"

"No, it's just that there seems to be a wrong link in my novel. I just noticed it now..."

"Isn't your novel a science fiction novel? Why is there a mistake in writing it?"

"Yeah...huh?" August froze on the spot.
