Of course, the Chinese students came spontaneously, and the visit of the Emperor to Germany was a major event, and the first two days of the Emperor's arrival was already overwhelmingly reported.The elderly Kaiser was well aware of the potential of China and the current speed of development, and wanted the Emperor to see the Germans' welcome to him."
It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here."
A Chinese student in Berlin excitedly said to his companions."
Long live Your Majesty" As one person began to shout, all the Chinese began to shout together, more and more rhythmically, and the voice became louder and louder.In the end, the momentum of the earth shaking and the mountains was formed.If you don't know, you think that today is the birthday of the German emperor, or a major celebration in Germany.On June 16, 1879, the Emperor's train stopped at Berlin Railway Station.Before Emperor Hua got out of the car, he heard the bells of the Berlin Cathedral and shouted long live to him with all the Chinese.He didn't know if Germany was welcoming him, but the city was full of European flair, and Hua Huang felt familiar, because he had been here once seven or eight years ago.Princess Katrina Kafu followed behind, while Gege held President Moe tightly.There are too many big scenes that Jiegege has seen, when the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a national football ceremony later, as well as the scene where the emperor and Jiegege got married, which time was celebrated by hundreds of thousands of people, Beijing was more than ten times more than Berlin, but this time the scene still made Jiegege's heart excited, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect so many people." ”President Meng was dressed in a black suit, wearing white gloves on both hands, holding Jiegege's hand holding his arm with one hand, and greeting everyone with the other.A group of people who have been waiting for a long time to see the Chinese Emperor, they are even more excited, many Chinese even cried, whether it is studying in Europe or doing business in Europe, they are proud of being a Chinese, especially the people who do business are the most touched, in the Qing Dynasty, where do they have their current status, now all the Chinese in foreign countries can straighten their waists, proudly say to others, they are from China, the most powerful country in Asia."
Your Majesty.Welcome to Germany. ”The one who came up to present flowers to the Emperor was actually Princess Victoria, the wife of Crown Prince Frederick.Today, except for Kaiser Wilhelm I and German Chancellor Bismarck, all the German upper echelons in Berlin were present, including Crown Prince Frederick, Princess Victoria, and the eldest grandson of Emperor Wilhelm.Princess Victoria is the eldest princess of Queen Victoria of England, whose full name is Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa, and later Queen of Germany, Queen of Prussia.Victoria is the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of the United Kingdom.In 1841, Victoria was made the eldest princess and the mother of Kaiser Wilhelm II.The young man standing in front of the Emperor is Wilhelm II, who was the future famous leader of World War I in the original history.Jie Gege hooked his hand on Hua Huang's arm, and Hua Huang took the flowers, "Thank you." ”Instead, it was handed over to Geger.The German translators introduced Crown Prince Frederick, Princess Victoria, the wife of the current crown prince, the eldest grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm, and a number of high-ranking officials in the Prussian government.I don't know why, Hua Huang felt that although the German welcome ceremony was large in scale and of high standard, the royal family and high-ranking officials seemed to be just here to make a show, and there was a feeling of being forced to come, or a feeling of reluctance.However, Hua Huang still maintained his previous demeanor, smiling and shaking hands with everyone one by one.When shaking hands with the eldest grandson of Emperor William, President Meng obviously felt that the young man had afterburner in his hand, and the hand of President Meng who held it was a little painful.President Meng glared at the eldest grandson of Emperor William, and pressed it without a seizure, although this guy who was behind William II is now the eldest grandson of the emperor, more than ten years older than him, however, Emperor Hua is now the emperor of the empire, and his demeanor has overwhelmed this hanging hair."
Why does His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson want to compete with me," President Meng smiled indifferently.The eldest grandson of Emperor William didn't expect Emperor Hua to break it in public, so he hurriedly let go.Crown Prince Frederick only then knew about the good things his son had done, and hurriedly said to Emperor Hua: "Your Majesty, don't mind, this kid is joking."
He loves to joke. ”"For an ordinary person, it's okay to joke, but on such an occasion, as one of the heirs of the royal family, it doesn't seem very suitable, I think his mind, it's time to develop."
Emperor Hua did not hide his voice, Crown Prince Frederick spoke in a suppressed voice, and President Meng was at a normal volume.Although the reporters of the newspaper were all government news agencies, they were still very interested in patting the expressions of Emperor Hua, Crown Prince Frederick, the eldest grandson of Emperor William, and his mother, Princess Victoria.Princess Victoria is easy to overlook in this part of Germany's history, but she actually has an important part of the story.Princess Victoria is not only the wife of Crown Prince Frederick, but she is by no means a vase woman, but a female politician.Under the education of Prince Albert, Victoria was subtly influenced by liberal ideas.At the age of 16, Victoria was betrothed to Prince Frederick of Prussia and later Emperor Frederick III of Germany.She was a strong supporter of Frederick's political ideas, and both husband and wife wanted Prussia and later the German Empire to become a constitutional monarchy like England.But because of Victoria's political views and her English origins, she was ostracized by members of the Hohenzollern family and the Berlin court.In 1862, with the rise to power of one of Victoria's staunchest political rivals, Otto von Bismarck, the estrangement between Victoria and the Berlin court grew.Frederick became the new crown prince of Prussia, but his situation at court remained the same: his father refused to increase his income, and Victoria had to continue to use her dowry and fiefdom to maintain the family's large expenses.In a letter to Baron Stockma, Prince Albert said: Apparently someone is opposed to the princess's financial independence.Not only was she miserable enough not to receive a single pfennig from Prussia, but she also had to use her dowry, which should not have been spent.If they continue to refuse to give money to the crown prince, who has a "rich wife", she will become poorer and poorer.In addition to the financial constraints placed on them, Frederick and Victoria piled up a number of problems.As heir to the throne, Frederick could not leave Prussia without the king's permission.This measure was to restrict Victoria's return to the UK.This shows Wilhelm I's dissatisfaction with Prince Albert and Frederick and Victoria, who also had liberal ideas.On December 14, 1861, at the age of 42, Prince Albert died of typhoid fever.Victoria, who was very close to her father, was devastated by the sad news and immediately returned to England with her husband to attend her father's funeral.Before the grief of their father's death had subsided, Frederick and Victoria, who were still in mourning, had to face the first major crisis of William I's reign unprepared.The Prussian parliament refused to provide the king with the funds needed for the reorganization of the army.However, William I, after much deliberation, considered the reorganization of the army to be extremely important and dissolved Parliament on 11 March 1862.As a result, a violent conflict broke out between the king and the Prussian parliament.In the midst of the tough confrontation between the monarchy and the parliament, the king even began to consider leaving the throne.From this perspective, Victoria tried to convince her husband to accept his father's abdication.However, the crown prince did not agree with his wife and decided to support his father steadfastly.For Frederick, the abdication of the monarch after a conflict with parliament would set a dangerous precedent and pose a hidden danger to his succession to the throne.The crown prince also believes that if he supports his father's abdication only because of his own interests, it will be a serious dereliction of duty as a son.In the end, Wilhelm I did not abdicate, and on 22 September he appointed Count Otto von Bismarck as Prime Minister of Prussia.The leader of the Conservative Party was willing to rule Prussia without a parliamentary majority and an approved budget.The king was pleased with this, but his liberal wife, Queen Augusta, and his son and daughter-in-law, were very unhappy.However, Bismarck remained at the head of the Prussian government and continued to govern the subsequent German government.At the same time, Bismarck also contributed to the isolation of the crown prince and his wife from the court.With the outbreak of the Prussian constitutional conflict, the bitter confrontation between liberals and conservatives in Berlin reached its peak.The crown prince and his wife were heavily reprimanded because they were suspected of supporting the MP against William I.In October 1862, the couple boarded Queen Victoria's yacht for a trip to the Mediterranean to avoid Tory accusations that Frederick was in favour of his father's abdication at a time of extreme political tension.They also stressed that the foreign ships on which the crown prince was traveling were escorted by British warships.Victoria's position at the Berlin court was further weakened with the announcement of the engagement of Princess Alexandra of Denmark, Prince of Wales, the future King of England Edward VII, one of Prussia's rivals and the eldest daughter of the future King Christian IX of Denmark.The German public believed that it was the Crown Princess who single-handedly promoted the union of Denmark and Great Britain.During his official visit to Danzig, on 1 June 1863, the Crown Prince openly rejected the Prime Minister's order that the Prussian authorities had the right to prohibit the publication of inappropriate newspapers.Enraged by his son's remarks, William I condemned the actions of the crown prince and threatened him with the removal of him from military power, even excluding him from the throne.Conservatives demanded that the crown prince be punished in order to make an example of him, and only a few supported the opinion of the king's younger brother, Prince Karl of Prussia, and General Edwin Freiher von Mandolfer that Frederick should be tried at a court-martial.As a result, Victoria was also naturally rebuked by members of the conservative wing.Many suspect that the Crown Prince's remarks during Danzig's visit were at her behest.Although the couple was heavily criticized in Germany, their actions were praised by the British people.The Times commented: "It's hard to imagine a more challenging role than the crown prince and his wife, who have no advisers and are caught between a cowardly monarch, a reckless cabinet and an angry crowd." ”However, the support of the British newspapers for Victoria and Frederick put them in trouble once again.The numerous details of daily life contained in this article suggest that Victoria revealed some classified information to the press.The German authorities immediately launched an investigation into her, and it was for this reason that Victoria's private secretary, Baron Ernst von Stockma, who was under great pressure, finally resigned.Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Hua, although the status of Crown Prince Frederick's family is high and prominent, it does not mean that they have much political weight, Bismarck is the final say, the brain of Germany in this era, and can even influence the decision of Wilhelm I.And not Crown Prince Frederick and his wife Princess Victoria in front of him.t1706231537:
