Germanic Empire: please call me William III

Austria-Hungary was a staunch ally of the Germanic Empire. However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire really could not afford Liu Adou. The air is topped by the name of a world-class power, but the real strength is too bad.

After mobilization, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was able to mobilize four or five million troops. However, the combat effectiveness of the army is worrying.

Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary and Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince, were also aware of this. That’s why they chose to ally themselves with the Germanic Empire. It was even hoped that the Germanic Empire would win in future wars. In this way, they can get huge benefits from it, so they can further solve domestic problems.

“The marriage of the Empire to the Germanic Empire, I am inclined in principle to agree. However, there was a problem, that is, the emperor of the Germanic Empire, although very young, was a very ambitious, even in order to achieve the end of the means without compromise. I suspect he wanted to marry Mary for some other purpose. “After all, Franz Joseph I is old.

“Your Majesty, do you mean that he wants to use this to encroach on the throne of the Empire?” Archduke Ferdinand’s face was suddenly very ugly.

Although for his own reasons, his heirs had no right to inherit.

However, he definitely did not want the Austro-Hungarian throne to be encroached upon by the Germanic Empire. It even led to the annexation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire by the Germanic Empire.

“It’s just my own speculation. But we had to guard against it! Franz Joseph I said.

He was already old enough to fight, and Grand Duke Ferdinand was no less old. In contrast, Liu Chuan’s age is less than twenty years old. Even boiling can kill them!

Once they are all dead, what should be the future heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire?

As empress of the Germanic Empire, Princess Elizabeth Marie is undoubtedly a very favorable contender!

Moreover, as long as the Germanic Empire instructed, there would be countless magnates on the Austro-Hungarian side who would support Princess Elizabeth Mary as empress of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

If it is not done well, it will also promote the merger of the Germanic Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. From now on, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will cease to exist.

And this, of course, is not what Franz Joseph I wanted to see.

“Your Majesty, then we shall refuse the request for marriage of the Germanic Empire!” Archduke Ferdinand said.

Franz Joseph I shook his head: “If we refuse, it will cause our relations with the Germanic Empire to deteriorate dramatically.” In addition, this will certainly be opposed by many ministers and nobles of the Empire. After all, they wanted the Empire to strengthen its ties with the Germanic Empire. ”

Archduke Ferdinand frowned.

“If not, let’s ask Mary for her own opinion.” If she objected, then we also had an excuse to reject the Germanic Empire. Archduke Ferdinand said.

Franz Joseph I nodded, “It is time to ask Mary for her opinion.” As her grandfather, I naturally want her to be happy. ”

Soon, Princess Mary arrived.

This thirteen-year-old princess was already standing tall. Her mother was Princess Stephanie of the Kingdom of Belgium and her maternal grandfather was King Leopold II. She inherited the beauty of her grandmother, Princess Sissi. Although he is still young, he is undoubtedly already a beautiful billet.

“Grandpa, uncle!” Princess Mary greeted the two men.

“Mary, there is one thing I want to ask you for.” Archduke Ferdinand said.

Princess Mary was somewhat puzzled, although she was also one of the heirs to the throne. However, it was already ranked after Archduke Ferdinand.

In addition, she is young and a woman. Therefore, the great affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are basically irrelevant to her.

“Is it true that the Germanic Emperor Wilhelm III, proposing to you in the hope of marrying you as Empress of the Germanic Empire, is he willing?” Archduke Ferdinand asked.

Princess Mary’s face suddenly turned red.

Although people in this era are relatively precocious, she is still a little girl after all!

The great name of William III, of course she had heard of it.

Before the age of seventeen, he inherited the throne of the Germanic Empire and became one of the most powerful people in the world, which was naturally very attractive and lethal for these little girls.

This is definitely the best candidate for Prince Charming in the minds of many little girls!

“But, Mary, I want to remind you that His Majesty Emperor William III may have wanted to marry you for impure purposes. He may have come for the throne of austria-Hungary. After all, none of my children, your brothers, have the right to inherit the throne. Archduke Ferdinand said.

Princess Mary was also a very intelligent person, and immediately understood what Archduke Ferdinand meant.

She knew that Archduke Ferdinand and even Franz Joseph I did not actually approve of the marriage.
