Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 51
After coming out of Florence, everyone went all the way west to the port city of Livorno.
Before arriving in Livorno, everyone turned a corner and visited the University of Pisa, which is said to be the same as the University of Bologna, and also saw the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa.
This Leaning Tower of Pisa was originally a defective product. The foundation was not well done, and it was crooked.
It’s a bit like the stamps of the country map of later generations. The printing is wrong, and the bay is missing. It becomes an orphan, worth millions, and an ordinary correct stamp is only eight cents a piece.
It is said that 200 years ago, there was a second-hand person who performed a show of “big **** and small **** landing together”.
Attracting a bunch of aunts, sisters, and grandmothers, they thought that this second-hand man would throw hydrangea, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to bring a happy man home.
Unexpectedly, he was throwing stones, these women spat on his face. A waste of my mother’s time.
After the old ladies left, the second guy wiped his saliva for a long time, which was longer than the time he spent climbing to the top of the tower to perform the show.
This dude is called Galileo.
The group arrived at Livorno and took a sea boat to Naples, the capital of the Two Sicilies, the largest kingdom in Italy.
Little Carl’s aunt, Maria Clementina, was married there, and little Carl’s grandmother was there too.
Do you think little Aunt Carl’s in-law’s family and little Carl’s grandmother’s family will know each other?
It’s not a joke anymore, they know each other, that’s quite a bit of understanding.
They are a family.
Aunt Carl’s husband is the younger brother of Granny Carl’s.
That is, Maria Clementina married her mother’s younger brother and married her own uncle.
It’s confusing, let’s be confused, in fact, the nobles everywhere are the same, they all like to kiss and kiss. Jia Baoyu either married his aunt and cousin Xue Baochai, or married his aunt and cousin Lin Daiyu.
Aunt Clementina and the others have a daughter and a son, Luisa Maria and Carlo Francisco. Both of them are adults, with normal minds and bodies. They are much better than little Carl’s father and the royal uncle.
Little Aunt Carl’s husband’s nephew is now the king of the Two Sicilies, known in the world as Ferdinando II of the Two Sicilies. There are too many Ferdinando II, and it is impossible to accurately refer to who is who without adding two Sicilies.
According to the legend of the rivers and lakes, this Ferdinando is completely different from the lord of the Sardinian kingdom.
The Kingdom of Sardinia hugs Britain and France all day long. He hates Britain and France very much, and it has also led to the withdrawal of ambassadors from Britain and France.
The Kingdom of Sardinia screamed for the unification of the Italian peninsula. He kept a low-key and pragmatic attitude and only kept his own one-third of an acre of land.
Oh, his three-thirds of an acre of land is not small, 120,000 square kilometers, close to 40% of Italy’s later generations.
The king of Sardinia is slender and thin, like a scholar, he is strong and mighty, like a butcher.
The Kingdom of Sardinia recruits talents and kills talents.
It is said that the European Revolution in 1848 was on his 38th birthday. The people of his birthplace revolted, and then the sparks burned from Sicily to Naples, from the Apennine Peninsula all the way, and swept the European continent northward.
The journey at sea is nothing but sunrise and sunset, so let’s not talk about it for now.
They soon came to Naples.
When we arrived in Naples, we first had to have a cordial and friendly conversation with Ferdinando II, the king of the Two Sicilies.
Archduke Karl communicated with Ferdinando II. Apart from the two big bosses, only the king’s attendant and Ludovica were left on the left and right, and little Carl sat beside Ludovica’s lap.
“Under the leadership of His Royal Highness, the entire southern Italy region is prosperous and prosperous. It is really a blessing for the people and a blessing for the country.”
“Milan, Venice, and Tuscany and other principalities, under the leadership of Austria, have a vibrant economy, and the people’s lives are stable and prosperous. With Austria, it is also a blessing for Northern Italy.”
This is the legendary business blow, oh, political blow.
“The Papal State, the people seem to be happy, but they are actually miserable. Does His Royal Highness intend to help those poor and suffering people, so that they can live a happy life like the two Sicilies?”
“I want to rescue them, but you also know that the Kingdom of Sardinia has put a lot of troops in Sardinia, and if there is any movement on our side, they will also attack my back path frantically.
“To the north of the Papal State, all the northern Italians also hope to get the Austrian Emperor’s Renze just like Milan, Venice, and Florence.”
This is two bad bills reconfirming how to delineate the sphere of influence.
“Now the Kingdom of Sardinia has been inciting the powerful factions in Milan and Venice to make trouble, and we are also evaluating whether to impose a small punishment to reduce the possibility of Sardinia continuing to take risks.”
“The Sardinian Kingdom’s behavior of provoking local powers is very despised. They are simply hooligans. However, who made him stronger? We had a few small conflicts with them. Well done.”
It is estimated that the small claws of the Sardinian kingdom also stretched into the two Sicilies, and made Ferdinando II disgraced. While watching the two shameless people talking nonsense, little Carl made up the specific scene.
“In industry, there is a slight gap between the Two Sicilies and the Kingdom of Sardinia, but everyone will work together to help the Two Sicilies tie in this area, and even catch up with the Kingdom of Sardinia.”
“As long as we comply with our laws and regulations, we welcome all parties to invest, and we will do our best to protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors.”
“Before I came here, there were several business partners who wanted to invest in printing, planting, glass manufacturing, and some industries related to merchant ships and fishing vessels. After all, Naples is the largest port city in the entire Italian region…”
These are the industries that little Carl agreed with his old uncle. In addition, Naples is the third, and currently Venice and Genoa are bigger than him.
“…They know that I’m coming to visit His Highness, so please say hello to His Highness first. By then, it won’t be a yard black, it’s not good to fall into the ditch, and it won’t touch anything that shouldn’t be touched. it is good.”
This means you don’t cheat on me. If I touch your property, it will be an unintentional mistake. Please forgive me, don’t rush over and beat me to death.
“Your friend, Duke Carl, is my friend. As long as friends come to invest, we will give all preferential policies, which are absolutely fair, just, open and transparent, so that investors and friends can come here happily, live comfortably, and leave with confidence.
“Later, I will give you a copy of my economic advisor’s business card, and ask your friend to contact my economic advisor. He will do everything properly.”
Hearing this, little Carl had a picture of making friends from the Northeast in his mind.
“Alright then, I’ll first thank you, Your Highness, for your respect and recognition of the investors and factory owners.
“We estimate that it will take three to five years to help the two Sicilies develop their industries, to follow up or catch up with the Kingdom of Sardinia. At that time, we will be in close contact, cooperate earnestly, and benefit from each other, and we will also be able to prevent villains from interfering.”
Carl still wants to consolidate economic cooperation.
“If the villain continues to interfere, does Austria plan to conduct a disciplinary military operation to safeguard our common interests?”
Ferdinando is more concerned about whether he can beat the trifle of the Kingdom of Sardinia. He messed with me several times, but I couldn’t get him. It would be nice if someone could get him with me.
“This is still under evaluation. We hope that once the disciplinary action is taken, it will be done quickly, so that countries such as Britain and France will not come over to persuade them like a village woman.”
Archduke Karl is telling him that even if he can fight, he has to be fast, how fast, not because he has a high level of industry, and he told him that he had to start a factory. I wonder if Ferdinando II understood it?
“This is a test of our military and our diplomatic capabilities.
“Diplomatically, our two countries are on the same page. I mean the matter of the Kingdom of Sardinia. In terms of military affairs, if they continue to provoke, our plan is appropriate. You and I will agree on a specific time and direction of attack when we arrive.
“But generally speaking, it’s you who attacked Sardinia, and we attacked Piedmont and Genoa. If you have pacified Sardinia and we haven’t taken Genoa yet, please also attack Genoa together.”
This is a division of interests, and it is appropriate. The Two Sicilies can hardly cross other principalities to attack Piedmont. At most, they can go to Genoa to clean up some good things and go back.
Austria also does not have the strength to quickly capture Sardinia at sea. It is not that this small broken island cannot be dealt with, but that it cannot be dealt with before Britain and France react.
“Grand Duke, you are an old-fashioned planner, you have been taught.”
It seems that Ferdinando did not understand the point that Archduke Carl emphasized, little Carl thought to himself.
“His Royal Highness is very kind. Let’s carry out economic cooperation first. We will see the effect of economic cooperation. If the effect is as expected, we will deepen cooperation in politics and military. ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Archduke Karl takes the trouble to stress again.
“Okay, let’s do a good job of economic cooperation first, and a better economy will also help to improve our military strength. In addition, I would like to ask Archduke Karl to review my guards, and please help me to see the situation of our army construction. “
Reviewing, that’s okay, inspecting the military’s construction is just polite.
“Okay, let’s take a look at the majestic and mighty divisions of the two Sicilies. As for the inspection of the army’s construction, I have already retired, so I won’t do this disgusting thing.
“If there are military personnel in the two Sicilies who are willing to communicate with the Vienna Military Academy, I can arrange it, and I can also urge Vienna.”
“Okay, let’s review the troops first, and then arrange for a special person to connect, and arrange for soldiers from the two Sicilies to study in Vienna.”
“His Royal Highness is polite. It’s all communication. Vienna, and even the entire European continent, has been a little more relaxed in recent years. Having the majestic division of the two Sicilies in the past is also a promotion and encouragement for us.”
This is a world-class political exchange, shameless, too shameless.
Then, in the national anthems of the two countries, watching the soldiers wave by their eyes, there is no need to make a detailed list.
Back at the residence, I communicated with my aunt, and heard another ironic news.
Leopold and Clementina’s family of four are going back to Salerno. Recently, this Ferdinando II forced them to go there, saying that their title was Prince of Salerno. seal up.
The Prince of Salerno was given the title by the grandfather of the current king, Ferdinand I, which means something.
Who knows what’s wrong with Ferdinando II recently, so he has to force it. Although the land line distance is only 50 kilometers, but the sea route is more than 100 kilometers.
