Romanian Eagle

　　 In the next few days after attending the dinner, Sophie Marie and Edel wandered around the surrounding scenery of Vienna. Both of them were attracted to each other. One felt that each other was handsome and handsome, and the other felt that each other was gentle and lovely, and both of them quickly heated up emotionally.

　　 In the room of Franz Joseph I, a guard told the emperor about Crown Prince Edel who was visiting Austria-Hungary. “Your Majesty’s visit to the Crown Prince of Romania, he asked us to buy the 305 shore gun produced by Skoda.”

　　 Skoda 305MM50 times shore gun is the largest and advanced Austro-Hungarian shore gun. It was developed on the basis of the Austro-Hungarian 305 gun. Because it is launched on land, it is much heavier than naval guns. The gun weighs 75.6 tons, has a rate of fire of 2-3 rounds per minute, weighs 412.5 kg, and has a muzzle velocity of 867 meters per second and a life span of 220 rounds. The maximum elevation angle range is 18,600 meters, and the effective range is 15,400 meters. Overall, it is much better than the German 305 gun, otherwise Edel would not catch up with Baba.

　　 After Franz Joseph I heard what the guard said, he asked the Grand Duke Franz Ferdinand next to him. “what do you think?”

　　 Now Emperor Joseph has been trying to ease the relationship with his heir, Grand Duke Ferdinand. Previously, the two had a fierce dispute over the crown prince marrying the Czech civilian woman Sophie Schottke, and the Austro-Hungarian nobles also opposed the crown prince marrying a civilian woman. In the end, Archduke Ferdinand married her, making his situation in Austria-Hungary very passive. However, more than ten years have passed since, after all, the heir he chose, Emperor Joseph also slowly forgave the crown prince’s waywardness. After all, the emperor is already eighty years old, and now he also needs to ease the relationship between the crown prince and the nobility.

　　 After hearing the question from his uncle Joseph, Crown Prince Ferdinand answered. “Recently we have relations with Romania, because the Romanian relations in Transylvania are unhappy, which is not good for us. After all, Romania is regarded as an ally for many years. If such a fallout, Russia will have too much power to speak in the Balkans. This time, the marriage of the Kaiser will be good for both of us.”

　　 After hearing Prince Ferdinand’s words, Joseph was quite satisfied with his judgment on the situation of the prince. Now he regrets the formation of the dual empire at that time. If it were not for the form of persecution at the time, who would want these Magyars to share the rights of the empire. In Hungary (including modern Hungary, Lislovakia, Romanian Transylvania, most of Croatia, a small area of ​​Serbia, and a small part of Poland) they are also well-known for oppressing other ethnic groups, Slovaks, Croatian People, Romanians, Serbs, etc., these are all suffering. Romania is now an ally. Joseph had greeted Budapest before, but these Hungarians still did not constrain, which made the old emperor a little uncomfortable. It’s just that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is inseparable from the support of the Hungarian region.

　　 Joseph I sighed secretly and said. “For Romania, we can comfort it. But if this continues in Budapest, it is estimated that our good deeds to Romania will be exhausted in a few years.”

　　 When facing Emperor Joseph, Grand Duke Ferdinand knew what he meant, so he suggested. “Your Majesty, or I will go to Budapest for an inspection.”

　　 After speaking, Grand Duke Ferdinand regretted it. His current supporters are all ethnic minorities and lower classes. The Hungarian region is regarded as the most severely oppressed area in Austria-Hungary. In addition, he is an advocate of the Austro-Hungarian navy, and Hungary is not interested in the navy at all. If he went to visit Budapest, the effect would not be very good.

　　 As expected, Joseph I rejected his proposal.

　　 “Ferdinand, this is not a good time for you to visit Budapest. Let’s comfort Romania first, and then slowly correct Hungary’s problems.” Joseph I said something he didn’t believe in, and the Hungarians felt too bad for him.

　　 “Your Majesty means, agree to Romania’s purchase requirements?”

　　 “Is it possible to disagree, we reject them when we are married to Romania?”

　　 After obtaining the consent of Joseph I, the Austro-Hungarian government gave the green light and the Romanian procurement list was met.

　　 Edel, who was playing with Princess Sophie Marie, sent the princess home and went back to the cave to get the news from the chief guard. Edel asked, taking back the good mood of his fiancée being together. “Austro-Hungary has agreed?”

　　 “Yes, your Highness. They quoted us at the purchase price of their army, 700,000 lei for a 305 shore gun.” Carust said of Austria-Hungary’s goodwill towards Romania.

　　 “Seven hundred thousand lei is still relatively cheap, we can add two more.” Edel’s kindness to Austria-Hungary is also very good at climbing up.

　　 “His Royal Highness, how is it?” Carust felt that this might not be good, and persuaded him.

　　 “Just do what I said.” Edel replied affirmatively.

　　 He doesn’t plan to spend more time on Austria-Hungary. Don’t look at the fact that the Austro-Hungarian flower group looks pretty good, and the dual empire will be torn apart in a few years. Now even if it is a marriage, he will not spend more time on Austria-Hungary. I still think about getting more inheritance when it collapses in the future. In Edel’s view, the dual empire is completely a product of failure. In the main European nations, nothing more than half is empty talk. This is the experience of later generations.

　　Austro-Hungarian efficiency is not bad, maybe it wants to ease relations with Romania, and soon agreed to the crown prince’s request. Skoda is also happy to sell two more guns. Of course, it will not refuse the deal, and promises to deliver six 305 shore guns customized by Romania within two years. Edel continued to accompany Princess Sophie Marie to the mountains and rivers, simply reluctant to think about it. UU reading www.uukａnshu.com

　　 Happy time is always short, and the two little lovers will be separated in a few days. At the Vienna railway station, Princess Sophie Marie took Edel’s hand reluctantly. “Will you miss me when you come back to Romania?”

　　 Of course Edel knew how to answer at this time. “Don’t worry, my princess, I will miss you tomorrow.”

　　 “Then you are going back, you want to send me a message.”

　　 “Don’t worry, I will do it.” After comforting Ke Ren in front of him, Edel quietly said to her. “I plan to tell my father when I go back, I will marry you.”

　　 Sophie Marie is a 19-year-old girl. After hearing the words of the old churros, the crown prince, her face blushed. He didn’t answer, just lowered his head, which was the acquiescence of the crown prince.

　　The people on both sides standing next to them don’t seem to know that there is this little couple, but sometimes their unnatural movements betray their hearts. Seeing that the two of them were almost talking about it, the head of the guard Carust stepped forward and asked cautiously. “His Royal Highness has a pretty good time gap.”

“I know.”

　　 After hearing the answer from the crown prince, the chief guard drew back again.

　　Edel said to Sophie Marie. “Your Royal Highness, I am leaving. In my heart I will miss you every day.”

　　 Sophie Marie replied. “My love, I will miss you every day.”

　　 After Edel finished speaking, he boarded the train and planned to return to Romania. The train moved slowly, Sophie Marie waved her arm at him on the platform, and Edel responded to the princess through the window.

　　 This time Edel visited Austria-Hungary and purchased goods worth 10 million lei. Among them, six 305 shore guns are considered to be the most urgent demand in Romania, and the others are light industrial products. The main gain is to find a wife for myself.
