The death of two consecutive emperors this year has made the Germans busy again, and Bismarck, the head of government, is of course one of them.

No, just after the burial of Frederick III's body, he had to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of Crown Prince William.

"Give this letter to the Minister of the Interior, and tell him that he must send enough military police to ensure the absolute safety of the crown prince when he ascends the throne. In addition, the public security in Berlin must also be well managed. If Germany is embarrassed in front of dignitaries from various countries, That is also to hit him with the board."

After letting the secretary take the letter out, Bismarck rubbed his somewhat swollen temple. Don't look at his power in such a beautiful position, but in his position, it is still a thin ice. The opposition, suppressed by his prestige, who could only hide, was still staring at his every move. These people just wait for him to make a mistake, and then jump out and accuse him.

Therefore, he is very careful about his work to avoid falling on the handle that the enemy can grasp, but this also makes him unable to handle affairs quickly.

Today, he has dealt with a lot of things. Excessive use of his brain has caused a dull pain in his head, so he can only use the method of massaging his temples to relieve the pain.

After feeling a little better, Bismarck was ready to take down a document to look at.

But at this time, a knock on the door disturbed him.

"What's up?"

Facing the sudden knock on the door, Bismarck put down the document in his hand and asked.

"Prime Minister, it's me."

The familiar voice at the door made Bismarck know who was coming.

"Frederick, come in."

As he spoke, the door was pushed open, and Frederick, the Foreign Secretary, walked in.

"Frederick, what's the matter?"

Bismarck's inquiries had his intentions, because according to the arrangement, Frederick should now be busy welcoming the dignitaries of various countries, instead of suddenly running to him. But since he is here, it must mean that there is something important, and this is what he asked about.

In the face of Prime Minister Bismarck's words, Frederick certainly has something important to do. I saw him speak. "Today, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, His Excellency Bacona, came to me and proposed to revise the alliance treaty."

Frederick's words made Bismarck look thoughtful. The revision of the alliance treaty is a big deal, whether it is for Italy or Germany, but why did the Italians suddenly make this request?

Bismarck, who is very diplomatic in itself, has to think about what is the motivation behind this.

"Which treaty did the Italians propose to amend?"

Bismarck intends to ask which treaty Italy wants to amend, in order to judge Italy's intentions.

For the Prime Minister's inquiry, Frederick said a little embarrassed. "I didn't ask that because Bakona said it at the time."

That's right, Bacona was like a casual remark to Frederick at the time, but in their position, they would think it was just an unintentional mistake by the other party.

Facing Frederick's words, Bismarck smiled. "It seems that the Italians want to test our idea of ​​revising the alliance treaty."

Years of diplomatic experience made Bismarck think it was Italy trying to test Germany.

Facing the words of Bismarck, who has been invincible in European diplomacy for many years, how could Frederick not believe it, so he asked for advice. "Then how do we answer them?"

"Don't answer, wait until the crown prince takes the throne. If we are too impatient, it will give those Italians some unrealistic illusions, which is not good."

Now that the Prime Minister has made a decision, Frederick, the Foreign Secretary, knows it.

That is to wait until Italy proposes it for the second time. This is how diplomacy is. It is a place where wits and courage are fought, and Frederick, the foreign minister, has enough patience.

Next, the German side continued to prepare for the crown prince's enthronement ceremony like a normal person.

As for the Italian side, it seems that he has forgotten about it, and has not mentioned it again.

As a result, the enthronement ceremony of William II began within a few days. This time the scene was much grander than that of his father, Frederick III.

All countries have sent missions of sufficient weight. Although the Queen of England did not come, the arrival of Prince Edward, the Crown Prince, also gave Germany enough face.

And Russia, needless to say, the shy Crown Prince Nicholas is here again. As for Austria-Hungary, the Crown Prince Rudolf, who was deeply in romantic debt, also came, and now he has not met the Baroness Marie Vessera who is willing to die with him. So no one would have thought that the heir of the Austro-Hungarian Empire would end his life in such a form.

Of course, in addition to these major countries, other countries have also sent envoys one after another, and of course they all try to send crown princes or princes and the like. As for the reason, this is obvious. I haven't seen that the representatives sent by several major powers are basically young people.

So during this time, in the city of Berlin, all kinds of princes can be seen everywhere. And banquets, salons and other activities are three times more than before.

But even among so many people, Carlo's identity is still the most prominent in the first echelon. Because he is the king of Italy, Carew has more power in his hands than any other prince, crown prince, or crown prince.

And Italy is also a member of the great powers~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Its identity is enough for other small countries to look up. To put it in a fashionable way, people who are more important than him have not come, and those who have come are not as important as him. Even the Prince Edward of the British Empire is only a crown prince, not a king.

Therefore, as one of the most prominent beings, Carlo received numerous invitations to banquets, dances and salons during this period. Not to mention that Carlo is not married yet, and there are also many royal women who think they are qualified to compete for the queen's position.

In the face of the mountains of invitations, Carlo still chose some to participate in, and he chose basically the more famous banquets.

There was a joke in this. At a banquet, Carlo and the British Crown Prince Edward talked very speculatively, and then the drunk Edward, for no reason, actually said that he wanted to marry his daughter, Princess Louise. , married Carlo because he thought Carlo would make a great son-in-law.

Although the attendants then stopped the crown prince's nonsense, Carlo was awarded the title of the best son-in-law.

This made Carlo really not know what to say to the Crown Prince Edward.

The degree of its unreliability is somewhat chasing after a certain prince who has been the crown prince for seventy years.

And Carlo also showed the style of the king of Italy in this communication. Although the Savoy family rarely integrates into the European royal circle, Carlo's performance gave him this opportunity. Of course, this is his proof, or the display of the Italian kingdom behind it, which is unknown.

But no matter what, Carlo has a few more royal friends.

However, such days will soon end, because the day of William's accession to the throne is approaching. As this day approaches, various social activities in Berlin are also rapidly decreasing.
