MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-Chapter 16 "fair"

Frankfurt, Headquarters of the German Customs Union.

"Damn! The Hungarians in Austria can't join, and the Poles in the Kingdom of Prussia should get out."

"Yes! Poles get out!"

Frederick Ansillon was tired of the endless quarrels, and now someone pointed the finger at the Poles in Prussia.

"The Austrians cut with the Hungarians, and Prussia should cut with those Poles!"

"Yes! Why let those dirty Poles enjoy the convenience of the German Customs Union."

At this time, the representative of Baden felt that the time had come. He had already been bought by the French. His purpose of coming was to help the Prussians and prevent Austria from joining the German Customs Union.

Now seeing the decline of the Prussian side, he has another purpose, trying to bring France into the German customs union. Although this is almost impossible, the French promise rich rewards.

At the same time, he also told him what a tragic end he would have if he didn't do it.

Baden is close to France and is most influenced by France, and often has to act as the vanguard of the French.

he appealed.

"If the Poles in Prussia and the Hungarians in Austria can join our holy Zolvy, so can the French. France has a wider market, better goods..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was met with fierce opposition from the entire venue, and some people even surrounded him.

"You French lackey! You have no right to stay here!"

"Get out!"

It is not known who threw a wine glass on the representative of Baden. Shards of glass and wine spilled all over him, making him look very embarrassed.

"Oh, **** it! What have you done, I'm a nobleman."

His words scolded the nobles and officials of civilian origin in the venue. The nobles felt that this kind of person insulted the noble group, and the common people felt that the noble looked down on their origins.

As can be imagined, the angry crowd beat the noble-born Baden representative to hell.

Then the famous scene was repeated, as representatives of the German Zolluge, regardless of nationality, regardless of origin, made a concerted effort to throw him out of the window.

Unity is only temporary. With the sound of glass cracking, then the sound of glass falling to the ground, and a heavy groan, the venue was temporarily quiet.

After a brief lull, the quarrel continued.

"Austria cannot join the German Zolluge. He is an autocratic country. The desire of Prince Metternich and Franz II to pry into other people's privacy is endless."

"Yes, the Austrian secret police are everywhere!"

"We cannot bear for such an authoritarian country to join our free German customs union."

On the Prussian side, a new round of offensive began.

Before the representatives supporting the Austrian side spoke.

Ankert of Saxony spoke again.

"It seems that you Prussia is not autocratic. You also have a lot of spies. Taking advantage of the establishment of the German Customs Union and the imperfect system, your spies infiltrated various countries to inquire about commercial and military intelligence. We in Saxony have already arrested more than a dozen Well, I don’t need to say more about the ambitions of the Prussians.”

Delegates supporting the Austrian side immediately counterattacked.

"Yes, Prussia is also an absolute monarchy. It's free."

"If I were to say that the Prussians were so unscrupulous, Austria should have sent their secret police overseeing the running of the alliance."

"Yes! Austria is the presidency of the German Confederation and should supervise and manage the operation of the German Customs Union."

Frederick Ansillon's nose has been crooked, why does the damned Saxon always have trouble with him.

"Lord Ankert, are you targeting our country, or is this what your King Anton I of Saxony means?"

Ankert laughed.

"I just find it funny. You Prussians are exactly the same as Austria. Why can you join the German Zollverein but the Austrians can't. Just because you are a bitch, do you still want to set up a memorial archway?"

"The German Zolluge is our Prussian!"

Ankert sneered.

"Listen, you Prussia have not yet become the chairman of the German Customs Union. Formulate trade rules, plan trade routes, and prevent other countries from joining. Do you really think that the German Customs Union belongs to your Prussian country?"

"You're talking nonsense! You..." Frederick Ansilon became a little annoyed.

At this time, the representative of Frankfurt stopped him and said, "Let's vote."

At this moment Frederick Ansillon regained his composure.

"The German Customs Union was indeed initiated by us, Prussia, but the representatives within the union are equal within the union. I propose to use a vote to decide whether to accept Austria or not."

"Austria is decided by the number of votes. Does each state of the Federation use the same number of votes? Is it the same number of votes for Hessenstadt and Bavaria?" asked the Bavarian representative.

Frederick Ansilon answered confidently.

"Of course the number of votes is the same, so as to reflect the fairness and justice of the alliance."

Frederick Ansilon knew that the number of states on his side would definitely exceed that of Austria. And for this kind of conspiracy, he doesn't need to do anything, just wait.

"I think this is unfair. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Because you Prussia occupies an important position in Germany, many small states have to pass through your Prussian territory. Therefore, there is no guarantee that they will not be inclined to you." Ankert said .

Frederick Ansilon laughed.

"We in Prussia will not do this. All of this is just your guesswork. If Austria cannot get more than half of the support within the alliance, it can only prove that rejecting Austria is what the people want."

At this time, a representative stood up.

"I have a request."

"Please say."

At this time, Frederick Ansillon felt that he had the chance to win, and he seemed very generous.

"I ask for a secret ballot, whether Austria joins the German Zolluge or not, a small country like ours is incapable of bearing the wrath of either Prussia or Austria."

Frederick Ansillon thought about it too, the small state on his side would indeed worry about the revenge of the Austrians. After all, Metternich and his secret police force were notorious.

"No problem, of course it's a secret ballot, you don't have to worry about it, no one will retaliate against you." Frederick Ansillon readily agreed and gave everyone a reassurance.

After everyone had no objections, the voting officially began.

The 36 members of the German Customs Union have a total of 36 votes. If half of the party supporting Austria's entry into the Union reaches half, the Union will approve Austria's entry into the German Customs Union. If not, it will reject it.

"In order to show fairness, all ballots will be collected in public by Ms. Adjani, the chief dancer of the French Nice Musical Troupe. Then we will directly open the ballot box in the center of the venue and announce the number of votes."
