Chapter 1447 The Prince's visit
At 5 pm on June 3, Beijing time, Chinese Ambassador to Austria-Hungary Shen Ruilin reported to the country about the death of Emperor Franz Joseph I. The report included the time of the funeral of Franz Joseph I.
, and the time when the new emperor ascends the throne, etc. As for who will be sent to the funeral of Austrian Franz Joseph I in China, this is not something he can decide!
After receiving the telegram, Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun reported to Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi as soon as possible. Then the two rushed to the palace to meet Emperor Wang Yuze. In fact, the Military Intelligence Bureau also learned the relevant news and had reported to Wang Yuze. Therefore,
When Tang Shaoyi and Gu Weijun arrived at the palace, several military giants had already arrived at the palace!
"Your Majesty, Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph's death, the empire needs to send heavyweights to attend the funeral! After all, Austro-Hungary Empire is one of the three most powerful countries in the world, and Austro-Hungary Empire's next strategy for the empire is very good.
Important!" said Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi!
"Then who would see who would attend the funeral of Franz Joseph I?" Wang Yuze asked. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was the target of China's efforts to win over, and also hoped to use the Austro-Hungarian Empire to restrain Germany on the European continent to weaken Germany.
Strength! When the situation of increasing and declining, it will be much easier for China to defeat Germany!
"Your Majesty, I think it is more appropriate to send the Crown Prince to Vienna to attend the funeral of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" said Foreign Minister Gu Weijun.
"What about other people's views?" Wang Yuze looked at the other ministers. Anyway, he was unwilling to go. As he got older, although he insisted on exercising every day, his health could not be compared with his youth!
Once, I had to go to the Austro-Hungarian Empire thousands of miles away to attend the funeral of Franz Joseph I. This was a chore. Wang Yuze was unwilling to go, so only the prince Wang Zirui went. In addition, with China's current status, the emperor was sent
The prince went to attend the funeral of Franz Joseph I, which was enough to give the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
"I have no objection!" The other ministers also said. Chinese ministers have always believed that the emperor's safety is the most important thing. The emperor can stay in the country and there is no need to go abroad! In this way, the ministers will also
rest assured.
"Okay, Zi Rui, you go to the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" Wang Yuze looked at the crown prince Wang Zirui and said. He was quite satisfied with this son! Under his guidance, Wang Zirui has completely grown up. In the future, in the
Wang Yuze was also more at ease when he handed over the empire to him!
"Yes, Father!" Crown Prince Wang Zirui nodded. He had no resistance to this order!
"Your Majesty, the funeral of Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria will be held in one month. Is the time too tight? At the speed of the cruise ship, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have to set off immediately!" Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi said! China and Austria
The Hungarian Empire was thousands of miles apart, and a month was basically spent on the road! The speed of the cruise ship was not as fast as that of the warship. If you had to arrive on time, it would be the best choice to ride a warship! However, the comfort of the warship
Sex is not comparable to cruise ships!
"Your Majesty, why don't the Navy arrange a heavy cruiser or battleship? At the speed of the warship, you can reach the Austro-Hungarian Empire in up to twenty days!" said Marshal Li Dingxin, the Minister of Navy. The Chinese Navy is currently in service.
The warships have undergone modern transformation in terms of power and have improved their speed a lot. As long as they are not attacked, they can generally cruise at a speed of 18 knots, or even at a high speed of more than 25 knots!
"Zi Rui, it depends on your own opinion. Should I take a warship or a cruise ship?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Father, I want to take a plane to the Austro-Hungarian Empire! The speed of the plane is much faster than that of a warship!" Wang Zirui said.
"Airplane?" Wang Yuze was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that his son was so bold! You know, the safety of aircraft in this era does not have much guarantee of safety. The Imperial Air Force lost pilots every year due to crashes, all have
There are dozens of people.
"Your Highness, you should take a warship! The safety of the plane is too low. In case of an accident, it will be a huge blow to the empire!" Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Cai Yun, said quickly!
"Marson, I believe in the performance of the Imperial Air Force fighter jets! Since those ordinary pilots can fly these aircraft, I just act as a passenger, what's the big deal?" Wang Zirui insisted!
"Marson Long Feiyu, can the Air Force ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince?" Wang Yuze asked. The Imperial Air Force has also been the focus of development in recent years. Under Wang Yuze's personal care, the Imperial Air Force has also achieved great development.
The first-hand fighter jet is already ahead of the world!
"Your Majesty, I believe that there is no problem with the safety of the Imperial Air Force fighter jets! However, it is better to take safer transportation with His Royal Highness the Prince's body!" said Marshal Long Feiyu, the Minister of Air Force. Although he
I am more at ease with the performance of the Air Force fighter jets, but I am not afraid of 10,000, but I am afraid of it! If something happens, then the Air Force Minister will probably end up doing it!
"Okay, since that's the case, the Air Force will send planes to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the funeral of the Austrian Emperor and the new emperor's ascendance ceremony!" Wang Yuze made the decision! He was quite at ease with the fighter planes of the Imperial Air Force!
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will definitely guarantee the safety of Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Air Force Minister Marshal Long Feiyu said gritting his teeth!
The other ministers, seeing that Emperor Yuze had made a decision, had to stop saying anything more! However, everyone made up their minds and after the meeting, they must have a good talk with Marshal Long Feiyu, the Minister of the Air Force.
Only by ensuring the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s trip!
"Your Majesty, I believe that this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can land in Sicily and then take a warship to the Austro-Hungarian Empire! The fighter jets of the Imperial Air Force have always been the target of Western countries to spy on. If the fighter jets fly directly to
The Austro-Hungarian Empire would probably cause the empire to leak its advanced military technology!" said Marshal Jiang Xingguo, Minister of Defense!
"Well, this suggestion is very timely! The Air Force is responsible for sending His Highness the Prince to Sicily, and then the Third Fleet will send a warship to send His Highness the Prince to the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" Wang Yuze said. Maintaining China's military technology is the winner.
The guarantee of a war. China's advanced military technology has always been the target of stealing by Western countries. Although China's Military Intelligence Bureau and the Ministry of Homeland Security have made great efforts, it still cannot completely prevent the loss of advanced military technology.
Just minimize it as much as possible!
At this time, the Chief of Guard Wu Hao reported that General Wei Zhiyong, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, met with him.
Wang Yuze nodded, and soon, General Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, came to the study. This general who has controlled China's foreign intelligence agencies for decades is undoubtedly an extremely important person for China! He is a very important person for
There is no doubt about Wang Yuze's center, otherwise Wang Yuze would not have been relieved that he had always served as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Originally, with the achievements of General Wei Zhiyong, he could at least be promoted to the Marshal of the Army. However, he himself
He is just a person hidden in the darkness and is not suitable for appearance. Wang Yuze has already thought about it. When General Wei Zhiyong retires, he will be promoted to the Imperial Marshal to show his affirmation of him over the past few decades!
"Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Bureau has received the latest news. Germany has confirmed that German Emperor William II will go to Vienna in person to attend the funeral of Franz Joseph I and the new emperor's ascension ceremony!" General Wei Zhiyong reported!
"William II is going to Vienna in person?" Wang Yuze couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Germans want to improve their relationship with the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" said Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi.
"Then will we change the candidates for the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" asked Foreign Minister Gu Weijun. The German emperors have taken action in person, and China only sent the crown prince to the place, which seems a bit unpleasant!
"I don't think there is any need to change it. His Royal Highness went to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to attend the funeral of Franz Joseph I. This is enough to give them face! As for the German Emperor who went in person, isn't Germany close to the Austro-Hungarian Empire?"
Army Minister Marshal Zhao Bowen said!
"Haha! That's the reason! I also think that the Crown Prince is enough!" Marshal Li Dingxin, the Minister of Navy, also said!
Wang Yuze nodded and said, "The plan remains unchanged, so the prince can go to the Austro-Hungarian Empire! William II wants to win over the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but will the Austro-Hungarian Empire still have the same heart as them? Grand Duke Ferdinand
His ambition is much greater than Franz Joseph I! The Austro-Hungarian Empire will definitely not be as willing to act as a German younger brother as before!”
Everyone nodded. In recent years, the relationship between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany has become increasingly cold! The Austro-Hungarian Empire's army has set up heavy troops in the north, and China sold tanks and armored vehicles to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Two of the three armored brigades established were deployed in the northern border areas, and only one stayed in Vienna! It can be seen that Grand Duke Ferdinand was guarding against Germany. In addition, Grand Duke Ferdinand invested heavily in purchasing Chinese Navy warships.
Building a powerful navy and trying to surpass Germany also shows the ambition of Grand Duke Ferdinand. Germany is destined to not succeed if it wants to win over the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
Half a month later, on June 18, the Chinese Crown Prince Wang Zirui set out from Beijing to represent China to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to attend the funeral of Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I! (To be continued. Please search for astronomy and novels
