Elstner was referring to the fact that the other day he had involved Neville in the reception of the Ottoman mission.
Prussia had formed a deep friendship with the Ottoman Empire many years ago, and at the end of Hamid I, Prussia provided a number of military personnel and weapons to help the Ottoman Empire improve its military strength.
After the current Sultan Selim III came to power, not only was the relationship between the two countries not affected, but even because Selim III intended revenge on the old Janisseri army, Prussia and the Ottoman Empire reached an arms purchase agreement under the impetus of the new Sultan.
The two countries officially entered the honeymoon period, and in this context, every year the Ottoman Empire sent outstanding military personnel to the Brandenburg Military Academy for further training.
A few days ago, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a banquet to receive the Ottoman delegation from afar, which included many young and handsome people from the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottomans knew more or less about Neville's identity.
In the Ottoman Empire, marriage has always been decided by the elders, and it is an unchangeable practice in the family, in this case, these young heroes from the Ottoman Empire naturally have resentment and jealousy in their hearts after learning Neville's identity.
On the night of the banquet, Neville couldn't control it because of a young Ottoman officer's sarcasm to Neville, and he had a hard fight with the Ottoman officer at the banquet.
The onlookers at the scene not only included the Ottoman mission, but also many people from the Prussian high-level, among whom Locks, as the head of government, was personally present at the scene.
Under these circumstances, Neville's performance was undoubtedly a big loss in the hearts of the Prussian high-level, and when Locks directly reprimanded Neville because of some bad relations, he reprimanded all the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including Foreign Secretary Elstner, who were in charge of the banquet.
On the same day, Elstner ordered Neville to be temporarily suspended for four days, and today Neville was called to Elstner to reprimand him as soon as he went to work.
Although it was a few days later.
But when it comes to this, Elstner still has a lot of anger in his heart.
You must know that diplomacy is no trivial matter, not to mention that the current Ottoman Empire is one of Prussia's most important friends, and under the noses of the high-level leaders of the two countries, there are fights.
It's not big, but it's not small.
"Your Excellency, it was the Ottomans who spoke outrageously and unruly first, and I was forced to fight back!"
Neville felt a little aggrieved, so he opened his mouth to defend himself.
But in the face of Neville's self-defense, Elstner said with a blank face: "That's the end of it.
But Neville, I need to warn one thing, in the government, you must be calm, even if the other party irritates you, but learn to be patient!
It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and you have been wronged.
Do you have to have a seizure on the spot?
Have you ever considered that there is also His Excellency the Prime Minister here, during this time, you are still the same as before, and you will study again!
” With that, Elstner waved Neville's hand to let him go without waiting for him to speak.
In fact, after hearing Elstner's words, Neville was quite aggrieved in his heart, after all, this participation in the reception of the Ottoman mission was an opportunity that he had won with great difficulty.
But now.
It was foreseeable that after Elstner's words, he would be in the Foreign Office for a long time.
In the Brandenburg Palace, Christine had to end her hunger strike after Louise threatened Neville, but in Louise's eyes, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother's hatred for Neville was even stronger.
No matter how much Louise persuaded her, Christine never gave up her hunger strike.
But now, when she threatens Neville, Cristinie compromises, much to Louise, the Queen Mother of Prussia.
After that, Louise, who returned to her palace, immediately said to a confidant palace maid beside her: "You immediately go out of the palace and go to Prime Minister Locks.
Tell Your Excellency the Prime Minister that this Neville has bad intentions, and I don't want to see this man in Brandenburg again, and he must do it for me!
” After Louise had finished speaking, the maid answered the promise and left the palace to look for Locks.
For Locks, Neville is a small person, even if this person has captured Christine's heart right now, but in Locks's opinion, it is impossible to get between Neville and Christianie.
And Neville's performance was also very disappointing to Locks, although Neville's status was not high, but after all, he had the favor of Princess Christine, in other words, on some occasions Neville not only represented himself but also represented Christine and the Hohenzollern royal family.
But in the context of such a very important diplomatic occasion as a banquet with the Ottomans, Neville actually made a big gaffe, which was a huge mistake in Locks's opinion!
Therefore, even without Louise's orders, Locks was ready to temporarily keep Neville out of the limelight.
In fact, for the sake of the matter between Cristini and Neville, Locks sent people to Neville countless times, hoping that Neville could give up Cristine, but for some reason, Neville didn't agree.
After learning of Louise's orders, Locks summoned one of his cronies and said: "Don't let that Neville be in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs anymore, let him go to Denmark, and tell Rylen Gale, for this Neville, you must give me a good experience, I think he should know the meaning of experience!"
When he had finished his order, Locks ignored it.
As the prime minister of a large country, Locks has so many things to deal with every day, and a Neville is not worth his time. .................................
Immediately after the capture of St.
Petersburg, Blankov supported a side son of the Romanov dynasty named Petrov to be crowned Tsar, and then, by the edict of the puppet Tsar, Brankoff declared Alexander in exile a rebel, and if anyone could take Alexander's head and present it to the new Tsar of St.
Petersburg, then it would not be a problem to be crowned a knight.
In addition to this, Brankoff declared that all the nobles who had fled with Alexander were forced, and that the new government in St.
Petersburg would not hold them accountable as long as they could immediately abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
Even the titles and domains of these nobles will be protected by the new government.

Even Blankov even told the world that as long as Ushakov led the Baltic Fleet to put things right, then the new government would grant Ushakov the rank of Generalissimo, and at the same time promote him to the rank of Grand Duke, and he would also receive 500 hectares of the richest land near Moscow as a fief.
Brankoff's offer was not unfavourable, considering that the estates and fiefs of these nobles who had gone into exile with Alexander were not a small amount.
However, for Brankoff, the looting of St.
Petersburg was almost over, and the plundering of the noble estates was coming to an end.
In this case.
Even the return of these estates and fiefdoms to these nobles was not a big deal, after all, Brankoff did not have so much energy to restore the construction of these estates and lands.
After Blankov installed the new Tsar, the Petrov Tsar immediately canonized Blankov as Grand Duke of the Russian Empire, and appointed him as Speaker of the Imperial Duma, Generalissimo of the Imperial Army, and Prime Minister of the Reich.
It can be said that Brankoff at the moment is really the first person in the empire, except for the titular tsar.
After the capture of St.
Petersburg, a large group of rebel generals supported Brankoff as the new tsar of the Russian Empire.
It's just that Brankoff decisively refused after that.
In Blankov's own mind, it was still a bit hasty to ascend to the throne of the tsar now, after all, the Russian Empire has not yet been completely stabilized, at least Blankov has not yet achieved the unification of the entire empire.
Previously, during the civil war in the Russian Empire, a considerable number of imperial governors maintained a neutral position, and even took advantage of the civil strife in the empire.
These ambitious princes drove out loyal and central government officials and replaced them with their own cronies.
Under these circumstances, the ambitions of these governors increased irrepressibly while their strength increased.
In Brankoff's mind, the capture of St.
Petersburg was only the first stage, and the second stage was to attack these governors, at least to let the central government really complete its rule over the entire Russian Empire, and finally the question of whether he needed to ascend to the Tsar's throne.
Brankoff's idea was supported by his think tank.
Of course, for those generals who did not understand Brankoff's intentions and went up to persuade them, Blankov also comforted them.
Immediately after taking St.
Petersburg under his control, Brankoff sent several emissaries to the Ottoman Empire, Prussia, and Sweden, where he hoped that the tsar he supported would be officially recognized. ...............................
William and his party finally arrived in Vienna on June 30, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Vienna, Karl's heart was irrepressibly excited.
"Your Majesty Karl, by order of His Majesty Frederick William III, Emperor of the Romans, the great Augustus, you may return to Vienna at once.
His Majesty the Emperor hopes that upon your return to Vienna, you will take care of the people of Austria and follow the orders of the Central Government of the Holy Roman Empire with all your heart!
” "Please rest assured that His Majesty the Emperor has orders.
The subordinates must obey!
” Karl was quite respectful in front of the emissary sent by William, and the restrictions on the freedom of Carl and his party were lifted.
"Your Majesty, should we send someone to Vienna first to make some preparations!
I'm afraid that His Highness Ferdinand will ....."
After William's envoy left, Andrei, who was standing beside Karl, immediately said to Karl.
However, after hearing Andrei's words, Karl only thought about it for a moment and then rejected the proposal.
"I am the king of Austria, and we have Austrian soil under our feet, and there is no need to send someone back to prepare for anything, because where I am, I represent the people of Austria!"
Immediately after that, Karl ordered his retinue to pack up and return to Vienna.
After the evacuation of the Prussian army, which had been guarded on the outskirts, Karl could not wait to leave the Prussian army with his men and rush back to Vienna.
When he saw the walls of Vienna in his sight, even Karl, whose heart was like a rock, was moist in his eyes.
Karl and his party rushed towards the Vienna gates without hesitation, and this action immediately attracted the attention of the Viennese defenders.
"Stop immediately.
Stop and get checked now!
” A group of Austrian soldiers stopped in front of Karl and his party and shouted.
"We are the guard of His Majesty the King of Austria, please get out of the way at once, His Majesty has returned to Vienna!"
One of Karl's attendants shouted at the Austrian soldiers who had intercepted Karl, but after the squire finished shouting, the Austrian soldiers were unmoved, and then there was a voice from among the soldiers.
"We have not received any notice from our superiors, please step over and stop immediately!"
After hearing this.
Andrei secretly glanced at Carl's face, and saw that although Carl's face was a little ugly, fortunately there was no sign of preparing to lose his temper, so Andre was a little relieved in his heart and ordered the guards to stop for inspection.
The group of Austrian soldiers quickly rushed to Karl's side, and when they saw Karl in military uniform, the leader of the team could be described as stunned.

However, the captain reacted quickly, and saw him rush to Karl and half-kneel down in front of him, and then said: "Subordinate, the captain of the Fifth Brigade of the 3rd Hussar Regiment of the 6th Division of the Austrian 3rd Army has met His Majesty the King!"
Hearing the name from the mouth of the squad leader, Karl's heart was shocked, and he disregarded his king's demeanor and then turned off his horse and personally supported the squad leader.
"What's your name?
Are you from the 3rd Cavalry Regiment?
So you fought with me at Bratna?
” It's no wonder that Carl has changed so much.
The Austrian Third Army was once the main army of the Archduke Tuha stationed on the Austrian-Ottoman border, and during the Austro-Prussian War, this legion also followed Tuha north to participate in the Austro-Prussian War.
And later.
The light cavalry regiment of the Third Legion participated in the battle of Carl's raid on Bratna with 30,000 cavalry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this legion is Karl's descendant, so it is no wonder that this squad leader can recognize Karl.
"Your Majesty, your name is Beagle, when you raided Bratner, you had the fate to serve under Your Majesty, so you can recognize Your Majesty!"
Karl patted Beagle on the shoulder a few times, his face very excited.
Not for a while, though.
Karl noticed the rank on Beagle's shoulder, and his face changed "Aren't you the captain of a hussar regiment?
How did you have the rank of second lieutenant, and why did you become an infantry defending the city now if you were a cavalryman?
” After listening to Karl's words, Beagle's face changed, and then he said in a slightly depressed voice: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Lord Regent just issued an order last month, saying that our Third Legion had been badly injured in the previous battle, so the establishment of the Third Legion had been abolished, and the original soldiers had been scattered to other troops!"
As he spoke, Beagle said to Karl with an unwilling face: "Your Majesty.
The reason why the Third Legion was hit hard was because in every battle, we rushed to the front!
You promised us to rebuild the Third Legion, but now why has the Third Legion been abolished?
There are also many people who have been forced to leave the army because of some problems.
So many old brothers, what else can they do without the Third Legion!
” As he spoke to Karl, Beagle's eyes were already red.
After listening to Beagle's words, I saw that Karl's eyes were also red "Ferdinand, are you worthy to be called my brother!
My descendants have all been wiped out by you!
Do you still have me as a king in your heart?
” Karl didn't expect that Ferdinand would be so bold after only a few months away from Vienna!
Third Army: What kind of troops is that?
It was a meritorious unit that followed Karl from the front line of the Austro-Prussian War, and not only that, but the Third Army also made great contributions in the Austrian Civil War.
What's more, Karl had previously ordered the Third Army to be rebuilt, but now who would have thought that Karl would directly dismantle the Third Army!
"Beagle, you've just had a lot of people forcibly discharged, so is Lukastan, the commander of the Third Legion I appointed earlier, still there?"
Hearing Carl mention Lukastan, Beagle's eyes welled up with tears.
"Your Excellency the Legion Commander, Your Excellency the Legion Commander was directly arrested by the Regent for disobeying His Royal Highness the Regent's order to abolish the Third Legion, and His Royal Highness the Regent was directly arrested in Vienna Prison for the crime of disobeying the military order and maliciously inciting discontent in the army, and it is said that His Royal Highness the Regent is ready to execute His Excellency the Legion Commander!"
"Damn Ferdinand!"
Karl could no longer suppress his dissatisfaction with Ferdinand, and only listened to him scold angrily.
Then Karl said to Beagle: "Beagle, go and gather at once the soldiers of the former Third Legion that you can contact and tell them that their King has returned, and that the Third Legion will never be abolished as a meritorious unit of Austria!
Even soon, I will expand the Third Army, and this heroic unit will never disappear into the battle sequence of the Austrian army!
”
