MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-v3 Chapter 46 Forward
【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】
Prussia, Pomerania.
The stone walls that Mr. Otto organized the local people to build had no effect, the Russians did not come, the war did not happen, and he himself won the title of "Defender of Pomerania".
Of course, Bismarck didn't care about other people's thoughts, and the situation didn't go in a bad direction, which made him both happy and gratified, and that was enough.
It's just that the poor performance of the Prussian army in Namur really disappointed him. He couldn't comprehend how incompetent the command was that would lead to the defeat of the hundreds of thousands of troops to the twenty thousand of the French army, and the main force was still blocked in the city.
The operation to send troops to Luxembourg not only got nothing, but also made a big scandal. This is not a small loss to Prussia's international reputation, and in the end it can only make concessions on the ownership of the Principality of Liege.
In Bismarck's view, this was the only gain for Prussia, and the Austrians were once again pushed to the front line, facing the threat of the French.
"Using Fao's contradictions to seek benefits for the kingdom is feasible, but doing so will undoubtedly arouse the resentment of other countries in the confederation. However, if you want to lead Germany, you will have to clean up those small states sooner or later. This does not seem to be important. ..."
Mr. Otto was thinking quickly, a group of laborers moved a large amount of goods into the mansion.
"Take it easy, take it easy! It's from Vienna! It's very expensive!"
Yes, Bismarck also joined the army of scouts going to Austria. While being a patriot made him ostracized his huge southern neighbor, he couldn't do without its goods.
What's more, the sales of Austrian products in Prussia are very tight. This time, the Junker nobles who have the strength and warehouses to cut prices have hoarded a large amount of goods.
They believe that once the promotion in Austria is over, the items will go back to their original prices so they can make a profit.
After Bismarck decided to sell these items, he decided to spend part of his savings on a trip to Paris. Curiosity drove him to see the world, witness the elegance of the largest metropolis in the world up close, and visit the hometown of wise men such as Rousseau, Montesquieu and Voltaire...
At this time, the French culture represented by Paris was still sought after by the world. But as a butterfly fluttered vigorously, a slight shift took place at the crossroads of history.
Both Vienna and Paris are recognized as the only two metropolises on the European continent, and in terms of academic atmosphere and artistic atmosphere, the former surpasses the latter.
Otto of Pomerania, however, had once visited Vienna as a humble member of the Prussian embassy, and he had mixed impressions of this fine city.
It is majestic and prosperous without losing the majesty of the capital of a country. Those exquisite buildings and the melodious sounds floating around are really hard to arouse awe.
(In the previous plot, Bismarck has been to Vienna.)
Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace, Franz was noncommittal about Adjani's assassination proposal, Earl Andrew was just a small person, and his life and death had little impact on the overall situation.
Outer Letania is almost out of touch with Inner Letania. When the Zagret and Sibiu lines are opened, it will become a complete country within a state.

(Zagreb is the central city of Croatia, the Zagreb wiring is the southern line around Hungary, the Bukovina line on the northern line has been completed, and the rest is the Sibiu line on the eastern line.
Some people must ask why there is no western front, because the west is Austria. )
Franz reviewed the documents on recent domestic pre-sales and found that beer sales were so far ahead that they might threaten food security.
Fortunately, the agricultural products that the United Kingdom was busy selling ended up in their own hands. It's just that the price is not as good as what they paid for the purchase price.
Franz, who was prepared for a rainy day, also purchased a batch of food in the name of his own church and smuggled it to the island of Ireland to deal with a possible crisis. In addition, the church is still intensively sending religious talents to the local area secretly. At this time, there are only more than 100 Catholic churches on the island of Ireland, and as many as 100 of them have been infiltrated.
In fact, these clergymen sent to Ireland did not know what their specific tasks were, they were just told to deal with possible disasters.
"It is too sacred to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of years because of a prophecy that cannot be determined."
Of course, only believers can do this kind of thing.
Most of the priests felt that the so-called "scourge" in the prophecy was poverty, because most of them came from the wealthy parts of Austria. Although the poor are all over the streets and alleys all over the world, the poverty of the Irish is still beyond their imagination.
"They have no beds, no quilts, only straw, and those houses are simpler than stables. Those sour potatoes are only suitable for feeding pigs in our country. Those grass seeds and bark are mixed together, making my throat feel like a knife. It hurts like cutting..."
"It's hard to imagine that a nation can live so tenaciously and humblely..."
"It's a cultural desert with almost no literate people who say they believe in God but don't know what the Bible says..."
"The Irish have no land, and almost all land belongs to the outsiders and their servants..."
"People here sleep all day...but unlike what the British say, they're not lazy, they just have to conserve energy to survive..."
Such was the feeling of the first Austrian priests to arrive in Ireland. The clergy have been gifted by "well-wishers," but they don't quite know what to do with them.
Some people choose to sell their grain and use the money they earn to build schools in the diocese, because they believe that knowledge is power, and learning is the only way to get rich.
Others bought land from landlords and distributed it to the Irish for cultivation, charging only a small rent to maintain the church.
Soon they encountered a problem, that is, it aroused the vigilance of some British people, and some even made and spread rumors because of this.
"Those Catholics are buying the Irish with land and they want to kill us (Protestants/Anglicans)."
This kind of rumor has been popular in the United States several times in history, and each time it can cause a large-scale humanitarian crisis.
In the end, in order to keep the church, those priests had to return the land to the British landowners, so UU Reading www.uukanshu.com suppressed this matter.

Of course, some people realize that buying land and setting up schools is too troublesome, and it is difficult for ordinary believers to feel "God's kindness". The solution of this group of benefactors is to directly make the food into a sacrament and distribute it to all believers who come to worship.
In order to prevent the precious food from rotting due to long-term storage, some thoughtful priests simply took the Holy Communion to the village to distribute it.
In a short time the church became lively, and even many well-dressed people came to share the communion.
It also made the priests more satisfied with their missionary effect, but soon as the distribution of the Holy Communion ended, the church was full of poor people again. All their efforts seemed to be in vain.
Some priests did the opposite. Since hoarding food is the most effective way to deal with disasters, why not do so?
The activists immediately did what they said, and the organizers began to dig cellars under the church to store food for emergencies. These people live in extreme poverty and are called misers by their colleagues.
Of course, there are also many "decent gentlemen" who are not used to living a poor life and become reckless after leaving the country due to lack of supervision and control. Greedy and addicted to enjoyment, they not only regard selling food as a business to make money, but even He hooked up with the British and betrayed the information of the Austrian Church.
Of course, because no valuable information was obtained from them, the British side no longer bothered to talk to these spineless and worthless guys.
