My Italian

Remember [New] for a second,! Sanssouci Palace is located in Potsdam, southwest of Berlin. It was built by King Frederick II of Prussia to imitate the Palace of Versailles in France. The beautiful environment here has become an ideal vacation place for Frederick the Great.

Today, Sanssouci Palace has welcomed new guests, guests from Italy and Austria-Hungary, and a delegation of the two countries led by King Carlo of Italy and Crown Prince Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary.

The host Germany also attaches great importance to the arrival of the delegations of the two countries. In addition to the Kaiser, Prime Minister Billo, Minister of Foreign Affairs Holstein and others on the government side, as well as representatives of the military, Mooch, Schlieffen, Tirpitz, etc. A huge team of people welcomes the arrival of representatives of the two countries.

There are also reasons why Germany attaches so much importance to the delegations of the two countries. Europe is now gradually forming two camps. As the well-deserved big brother of the alliance camp, Germany certainly wants to further strengthen the connection between the three countries. It is best to form an alliance camp that is consistent with the outside world.

Therefore, the German side has put a lot of thought into the invitation of the Italian and Austrian delegations. For example, the family members of the monarchs (crown princes) of the two countries were invited, and Germany also offered a lot of interests to continue to win over the two countries. For Italy, for example, Germany plans to use more Italian oil and reduce auto tariffs between the two countries.

Therefore, as soon as the delegations of the two countries arrived in Germany, they could feel the warm welcome ceremony of the Germans. In just one week, the German side organized several welcome banquets. It's getting bigger and bigger again and again, and it's clear that there is a conspiracy.

As for Germany's intentions, Italy and Austria are not fools, and of course they are aware of their intentions. However, the two countries have no intention of rejecting it, because there is a saying that everything has a price. If the other party disagrees, it means that your price is not enough. For the country and the country, these words are completely true portrayals.

Of course, in addition to interests, sometimes personal feelings are also targets that can be used.

You see, the good time when the three monarchs and their families are together is the best opportunity to connect with each other.

In the hunting ground near Sanssouci Palace, the three monarchs (crown princes) watched the deer in the distance vigilantly with the foreign powers. As a royal hunting ground, the animals here are well protected.

Behind the three monarchs (crown heirs), several tall guards held prey for the three, including small and medium animals such as rabbits and foxes.

"It's so lucky that we actually encountered a herd of deer."

William II, the owner of the hunting ground and a frequent visitor, looked at the deer and spoke softly.

"It feels like we can get a little closer."

Archduke Ferdinand, who is also an experienced hunter, loaded a bullet and opened his mouth with great interest.

"Then what are you waiting for, come on."

Although he hunted less often, Carlo, who was intrigued, also set his sights on the deer.

Then the three monarchs quietly approached the deer, and when they came to a distance of 100 meters from the deer, the three stopped.

"Carlo, you choose first."

William II, as the master, let Carlo choose first.

"Then I'll choose that deer."

The Kalo people, who were addicted to vegetables, preferred the majestic leader of the deer herd, who watched vigilantly while grazing, but did not find that any dangerous humans were staring at him.

"Then I choose the buck on the left."

"I choose the one on the right."

After the three had assigned their targets, they raised their standard shotguns in their hands.

Carlo also put the deer into the crosshair, and he held his breath as he listened to William's report.

"three"

"two"

"one"

"shooting!"

"Crack, crack, crack!"

The roar of the three shotguns made the originally quiet and peaceful herd of deer start immediately, and they quickly ran into the distance. In addition to the fleeing herd of deer, two deer fell on the grass with a groaning cry because two bullets hit them. Gu Jun

These two deer were the ones chosen by William II and Archduke Ferdinand. As for the target chosen by Carlo, he was currently escaping the herd alive with the deer.

"Carlo, it looks like you're not lucky."

William II, who put down his gun, opened his mouth with a smile.

"Yes, not so lucky."

Carlo, who handed the gun to the guard behind him, said with a regretful expression that he was unlucky. If you don't look at the attendant with only a quail behind him, then there is still some credibility in this statement.

Archduke Ferdinand, who also handed the shotgun to the guard, sighed with emotion. "The hunting with the two was my happiest day during this period, at least compared to the many troubles in the country, it was much better."

"Franz, don't think about troublesome things when you're happy."

As a friend, William II enlightened the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary. "Franz, don't think too much. If you think you can, then you can tell your troubles, and we can help you analyze it."

For William II's words, Carlo nodded as a default.

"Well, it's about appropriating funds for the navy." Having said that, the crown prince also glanced at Carlo's reaction and continued to say after seeing the other party listening carefully. "Our navy wants to build four dreadnought ships to enhance our country's influence in Europe, but the problem is stuck in the parliament. Neither parliament has passed the appropriation for the navy's shipbuilding, so I am embarrassed."

Facing Ferdinand's self-explained shortness, William, who had spoken, said after pondering for a while. "On the Austrian side, the army's worries may need to be dispelled, so Uncle Joseph is the best breakthrough. As for the Hungarian Parliament..."

"Actually, the Hungarians can be told to guarantee their status in the navy. I believe the Hungarian parliament should agree." Carlo interrupted suddenly.

William and Ferdinand were a little surprised by Carlo's words.

"Hahaha, Carlo's approach is worth considering."

William praised at this time. In fact, he did not seriously consider whether Caro's suggestion was appropriate, but considering the complicated relationship between Italy and Austria-Hungary, Caro's ability to speak represented a lot of things.

As for Ferdinand's side, he thought carefully about the advice he gave.

In fact, Carlo's suggestion is very useful, because if you want the Hungarian parliament to agree, you must understand the Hungarians. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hungary, despite its crazy oppression of other ethnic minorities, is actually a manifestation of lack of self-confidence. Because of the formation of a dual empire with Austria, Hungary gained the same power as the Austrians.

Although this makes the Hungarians rejoice, but in the Hungarians who have tasted the sweet taste of power, there is a kind of anxiety, which is the anxiety of fear of the loss of power.

So in order to keep their power, the Hungarians made a lot of strange decisions. For example, when Bosnia and Herzegovina merged into the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Hungarian Parliament voted against it, because Hungary was afraid that there would be too many Serbs in the country and the empire would become a ternary system.

So Carlo's words also gave Ferdinand an idea.

"This is a good way~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Thank you for your guidance."

Archduke Ferdinand, who felt that his troubles were mostly solved by these two, now feels much more relaxed.

"Gentlemen, the time seems to be about the same, we can't keep the ladies waiting in camp for long."

At this time, the Kaiser, who had just finished reading his pocket watch, opened his mouth to remind the time.

"Then let's go back."

"good idea."

The three monarchs reached a decision and rushed to the camp immediately. As for the two deer hit, the guards will send them back to the camp.

Just after returning to the camp, Carlo heard his wife Maria's loud and angry rebuke. "Vittorio, what have you done with Louise?"

Carlo fixed his eyes and saw that his son Vittorio and the Kaiser's youngest daughter were being disciplined by two mothers. They were like mud monkeys, and their bodies were dyed colorfully with mud, grass juice, and berries.

Faced with such a situation, Carlo came out immediately. "Okay, it's normal for children to be lively by nature. Just let them pay more attention next time."
