Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Chapter 113 Proposing Marriage To The Austro-Hungarian Empire (Third, Please Subscribe!)

Mikhail chose Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary to be his wife because of his own considerations.

Although, the current Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary is Archduke Ferdinand. But if there is no accident, that guy is a short-lived ghost, and he will be killed when Franz Joseph I of the army dies.

So, after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, can the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary become the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire?

Even, can he become the queen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after the death of Franz Joseph I?

if it is like this. So, is there a chance for the Tsarist Russian Empire to merge with the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the future?

If all this can be achieved. Then, not only the territory of the Tsarist Russian Empire will be greatly expanded. At the same time, the population will also skyrocket. You know, the population of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in this era has reached more than 60 million.

In addition, the industry of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was also very strong. Although it cannot be compared with the Germanic Empire and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, it is already considered very good. For example, Skoda in this era is not a manufacturer of cars, but is famous all over the world for its production of heavy artillery.

Once the Austro-Hungarian 303 Empire can be swallowed, this will greatly increase the strength of the Tsarist Russian Empire. They have enough strength to overwhelm the entire European continent.

Of course, the internal conflicts that had plagued the Austro-Hungarian Empire were not a problem at all in the Tsarist Russian Empire.

At that time, the Slavs will be the main ethnic group, accounting for the vast majority of the population. The rest of the Germans, Hungarians, etc., are a small part. This empire will become more stable and powerful.

However, when that moment really comes, it depends on the choice of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. If he doesn't want the throne to fall on his granddaughter's head. Then, the Tsarist Russian Empire can only defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire in one fell swoop in the next world war, and then use force to annex this country.

At that time, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth and Mary will be there. Believe me, the resistance will be much smaller.

"Your Majesty, are you serious?" Isivorski asked.

"Of course!" Mikhail nodded.

"As far as I know, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary is not yet sixteen years old!" Isivorski said.

"What does it matter (acfc)? I'm only six years older than her!" Mikhail said nonchalantly.

In this day and age, the age of marriage is very low. There are many people who get married in their teens. However, there are relatively few in the royal family. But in Mikhail's view, this is not a problem.

Seeing this, Izvorski and the others had no choice but to say nothing more.

After Mikhail returned to Moscow, the high-ranking officials of the empire knew that His Majesty the Tsar wanted to marry the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary, the granddaughter of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, as his wife.

"Your Majesty, we support you. However, this requires the consent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Judging from the current situation, whether it is the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I or the high-level people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, I am afraid that they will strongly oppose it." Right. After all, the Empire just defeated them, caused heavy losses to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and also paid the Empire a huge amount of war indemnity. As long as the high-level leaders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are not insane, I am afraid that they will not agree to this marriage. said the Imperial Prime Minister Podonos Chaf.

"It's man-made, try to convince the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Perhaps, they will think this is an opportunity to ease the relationship between our two countries? After all, the relationship between our two countries is somewhat tense at present. Besides, the whole of Europe , The in-law relationship is not very important, the first thing is always the national interest, and this is the most important!" Mikhail said.

Donos Chaf nodded: "Your Majesty, if that's the case, then let's send someone to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to propose marriage!"

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I will trouble you to go again." Mikhail said.

After all, Izvorski had just visited Gaul with him just now. Now, let him go to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is my honor!" Isivorsky replied.

Soon, Izvorski set off for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, nominally to visit the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But in fact, it was to propose marriage.

Of course, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire agrees, then this trip is a marriage proposal. If Austria-Hungary refused, it would be just an ordinary diplomatic visit.

The Tsarist Russian Empire is a powerful country in the world, and face is still important.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was also a little confused about Izvorski's visit.

You know, after the Austro-Hungarian Empire was defeated by the Tsarist Russian Empire, the people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire hated the Tsarist Russian Empire extremely. If you do a survey in the Austro-Hungarian Empire now and ask the people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire which country they hate the most, it will definitely be the Tsarist Russian Empire.

After Izvorski arrived in Vienna, he asked the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, Baron Bell Sidold, to conduct a comprehensive.

"Your Excellency, what is the purpose of your visit to the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Baron Bell Sidold asked straight to the point, without going around in circles.

After all, the relationship between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire is already very bad.

"Your Excellency the Baron, this time I am officially proposing marriage to your country by the order of His Majesty the Tsar of the Empire. Your Majesty the Tsar wants to marry the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary as the Empress of the Empire!" Izvorski said.

"What?" Baron Bell Hydold was shocked. He seemed to have never thought that the Tsarist Russian Empire would make such a request.

"This... this..." Baron Bell Hydold hardly knew how to answer this question. After all, this was completely beyond their expectations!

"Your Excellency the Baron, I think you should immediately report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor of your country, and let the Emperor decide whether to agree to the request of His Majesty the Tsar of the Empire. By the way, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary also has the right to know this news as a living person! ’ Isivorski said.

Baron Bell Hydold nodded, such a major matter is beyond his ability to decide. What's more, this matter concerns the royal family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even if he didn't want the Grand Duchess Elizabeth and Mary to marry the Tsar of the Russian Empire. However, it should also be decided by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, not him.

Immediately, Baron Bell Hydoud hurriedly ended the meeting, went to the palace, and reported the matter to Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. .
