Chapter 410: Austria's Ambitions


"Your Excellency, I don't think you should forget that on the North American continent, we still have common interests between England and Prussia, and I think your country should keep in mind the losses caused to us by the French in North America back then!

Therefore, there is no doubt that only if our two countries continue to cooperate closely can we achieve greater benefits in the world."

Charles said the words word for word, and as soon as he finished speaking, Brightfield's face changed.

Charles mentioned here the interests of Britain and Prussia in North America, just to remind Bryverde that without the help of the British or the permission of the British, even if Prussia gained some interests on the North American continent, it would be useless.

Because don't forget that the British fleet is the strongest in the whole world, even if Prussia's navy has been greatly developed, but in front of the British fleet, Prussia's little naval possessions are still a little insufficient.

The mention of North America can also be seen as a warning from Charles to Prussia.

With the continuous construction and development of Prussia in North America this year, North America has become an important hub of Prussia's national interests, and the benefits that Prussia obtains from North America every year are calculated in tens of thousands of gold tales, and North America's trade tax has occupied an extremely important position in Prussia's national tax revenue.

"Your Excellency Charles, I think that although our country is married to the Austrians, on some issues, my country will not give up its original position, it is undeniable that there is an important blood relationship between Queen Marie of France and the future Queen Anna of our country, but I think your country should know better than my country that in the face of national interests, the so-called family affection has always been on the sidelines, otherwise.

I'm afraid that your country has long pulled the Kingdom of Austria to its side" Bryverde joked without being salty, and as Bryverde said, in fact, blood ties were never anything in the face of national interests, even in the case of Mary and Leopold, in northern Italy.

The French also never gave up their ambitions.

And now an Anna wants to change the position of Prussia, although there is such a possibility, but this possibility is also very small.

Hearing Brywede's explanation, Charles's face softened, and he believed that what Brywede said was true, because in Prussia.

The British have always done their homework, and many people in Prussia are dissatisfied with Anna in the eyes of the British.

"Of course, I believe that His Majesty the King of your country will not change his faith because of a woman, and the only country that can be controlled by a woman is a strange country like France!"

When it comes to France, Charles is not without sarcasm.

Because of the British volunteers in Calais, the contradictions between Britain and France intensified again.

As for the French monarch, the English have always had a malicious mentality, even during the reign of the Sun King Louis XIV, the British demeaned him as a stallion, and later Louis XV was even worse in the mouth of the English.

Just as Brywede was about to reach an agreement with Charles on some matters, he saw an Austrian court attendant hurrying to Bliwede's side.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty Leopold, please come and go."

Hear that Leopold wants to see himself.

Brightfield was stunned, but a fine light flashed in the eyes of Charles on the side, but it was then covered up by Charles himself.

Brightfield was stunned for a few seconds, then apologized apologetically to Charles, and then left Charles' side with the attendant.

Looking at the figure of Bryverde, Charles felt that it was necessary for him to submit an explanation to the British Parliament on the matter, knowing that the ambassadors stationed between countries are the eyes of their respective countries in addition to diplomatic tasks, and sometimes the opinions of these ambassadors will become an important judgment of the upper echelons of each country on the actual situation of other countries.

After coming to Leopold's side, Bolyverde found that he was not alone with the new monarch, the French Prime Minister Jacques Brown.

Necker and Foreign Secretary Momulin were both at Leopold's side.

Also present was Austrian Chancellor Kaenitz.

As soon as Bryved had entered the room, the Austrian waiter walked out, leaving only the six of them in the room.

In fact, the envoy sent by Prussia to observe the ceremony was not Breved, but accompanied Anna to Vienna in addition to Hound, deputy governor of the Prussian royal family, and the Prussian foreign minister.

But on the evening of his arrival in Vienna, the Prussian foreign minister fell ill.

Although Hoender was the deputy governor of the Prussian royal family, in some ways, Hound could not represent the entire Prussian kingdom, so Leopold invited Bourved to come.

After Breweed's arrival, the crowd stopped greeting each other.

In fact, the five people present were not strangers to each other, even Bliwede had served as Prussian ambassador to Paris back then, and he had contact with Necker, Momullin and others during his tenure.

"Okay, since everyone has arrived, then I'll talk about it."

As a landowner and the new monarch of Austria, Leopold greeted him warmly, and when he had finished speaking, all eyes were on him.

"First of all, on behalf of the Austrian Government, I would like to thank all of you for coming to my coronation, and I would like to express my deep gratitude to His Majesty Louis XVI, His Majesty Wilhelm, and secondly, I am very happy that my little daughter Anna is about to marry His Majesty Wilhelm of Prussia.............................."

Well, hearing this, Brightved's hearing is already very tired, although no matter what as long as there is an opening speech, it must be long and smelly, but after listening too much and listening for a long time, people will inevitably get bored.

Just when Breved was barely holding on, I saw Leopold's words change and say impassionedly: “................

Under the new international situation, as a number of powerful countries on the European continent, Austria, France, and Prussia should shoulder more responsibilities!

Although in the past there were such and such unhappiness in our three countries, and even now in some aspects, we still have contradictions, but this does not hinder our determination to contribute to the whole of mankind, we should shoulder the responsibility and obligation as a strong country, and for those forces that try to destroy the normal order of all countries and stir up disputes among countries, our three countries should stand on a righteous standpoint and fight endlessly under the glory of God!

” After saying this, Leopold's mood was so excited that he could not calm down for a long time, but the people present did not say anything other than some applause.

These people here are all old foxes, even if Breved is so inferior to these people, but how could he, who has been immersed in politics for decades, think (ˇ?

ˇ) think of ~ such a recklessness as a young man.

The sparse applause made Leopold a little embarrassed, and at this time, as the Austrian Prime Minister Kaunitz, he was naturally going to play the savior, only to see him slowly stand up after Leopold finished speaking.

Seeing Leopold's movements, everyone except Leopold immediately straightened their waists, as the saying goes, there is no vanity under fame, Kaunitz's reputation in Europe is no worse than that of the monarch of any country, and even his wisdom and calculation have always been an example for officials from various countries to learn.

"I am very happy to see His Excellency Necker and His Excellency Momullin today, these two have been good friends with me for many years, and although His Excellency Boliwede is not my old friend, I still appreciate His Excellency Bowede's performance since his transfer to Vienna."

Although Kaunitz's posture was very high, no one present felt that there was anything wrong, you must know that His Excellency the Prime Minister is already seventy-nine years old, he has experienced a full half century of turmoil, and most of the changes in European history in the past half century have the back of His Excellency.

Even during the period when Anna disappeared a year later, Horne and the others only dared to put pressure on Leopold, in front of Kaunitz, they did not dare to question anything except to mention it politely, and even when the situation was unfavorable, His Excellency Kaunitz never showed panic, which was a point that everyone admired.

Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, this sentence has always been regarded as a pretending to be forced, but it is undeniable that some people often have calm when they encounter major events, and it is often this kind of person who can succeed in society.

I saw Kaunitz continue with a calm face: "At some historical moments, it is normal for Austria, France, and Prussia to have a cold relationship or even a cold war because of the entanglement of interests in one way or another, as far as I am concerned, I and Frederick the Great of Prussia in the Seven Years' War can be called mortal enemies, but these are not because of any contradictions between us personally, but because we are all serving the country as a collective.

In fact, from a further point of view, our three countries were once Charlemagne's people, we are different from the British and Russians, our three countries can be said to be in the same line, although later for various reasons, the three countries gradually went to the opposite side, but we still have the blood of Charlemagne's empire flowing in our bodies.

Moreover, what the British have been doing in Calais and abroad in recent times has greatly affected our interests, the Saxon thieves and liars, who never wanted peace and happiness in Europe, who live alone on that island and peep at our land, our people and our wealth like hungry wolves!

So I hope that in order to deepen the feelings between the three countries and maintain peace on the European continent, we should sign a memorandum of understanding!
