    The Chinese Crown Prince Wang Zirui and his party did not check into the hotel prepared by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but went directly to the embassy!  Compared with the embassy, ??the hotel arranged by the Austro-Hungarian Empire may be more luxurious, but the security is not as good as the embassy!

    Afterwards, the Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Mario Weber, informed Wang Zirui that the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Archduke Ferdinand, held a welcome banquet for the Chinese Crown Prince and his entourage at the Belvedere Palace this evening, and then left!  Now the monarchs from all over the world are gathering in Vienna, and the funeral of Franz Joseph I is only a few days away. As the Prime Minister of the Empire, he is also very busy!

    At this moment, less than five kilometers away from the Chinese Embassy in Austria-Hungary, the banquet held by the German Crown Prince and Pope Benedict XV is in full swing!  Not only the local nobles of the Austro-Hungarian Empire came to attend this banquet, but also the monarchs from various European countries who rushed to Vienna also basically participated in this banquet.  It's said to be a banquet, but it's actually more like a tea party!  In the garden behind the German Embassy in Austria-Hungary, monarchs or nobles from various countries gathered together in twos and threes, drinking black tea or coffee and discussing topics of interest to them!

    Among the people attending this banquet, the most eye-catching people, besides the German Crown Prince Friedrich and Pope Benedict XV, were probably the Russian Czar Nicholas II, the British King George V, and the Italian King Victoria.  Torrio Emanuele III, King Alfonso XIII of Spain, King Manuel II of Portugal and Queen Wilhelmina I of the Netherlands.  These monarchs are all monarchs who have enmity with China.  As for other European countries, especially the monarchs of neutral countries, none of them came. They did not want to become the object of China's hatred!

    "I really want to see what the Chinese Crown Prince looked like at that time! Although it is a bit regretful that I can't see it with my own eyes. However, the Chinese people will be very embarrassed if they are left out! Let those Chinese guys know that this is the West, not the East  ! We Westerners are in charge here!" King Manuel II of Portugal, who had just successfully restored his country, said with a smile!  China snatched the Azores from Portugal, which made him very angry!  Originally, the Azores were what he wanted to pay to Germany as revenge, but now there are no more Azores.  He would have to pay other remuneration.  Finally, after discussions between Germany and Portugal, Manuel II will pay 200 million Reichsmarks to Germany in the next five years as Germany's military expenditure to help him regain his country this time!  This is a lot of money for Manuel II now!  It could have been offset by the Azores.  But now it's impossible!  This made Manuel II hate China very much!

    "But I heard that the Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Mario Weber, went to the station to greet him in person! The Austro-Hungarian Empire is giving too much face to the Chinese!" King Alfonso XIII of Spain said.  In the Battle of Gibraltar, Spain was severely defeated by China. Not only did it lose Gibraltar and the Balearic Islands, but it also compensated China for huge military expenses. This was undoubtedly an unforgettable shame for Alfonso XIII.  !  Since then, Spain has embarked on the path of military expansion and preparation for war.  They purchased a large number of advanced weapons from Germany, expanded the army, and established an air force. Alfonso XIII believed that even if Spain could not defeat China, at least it would not be as embarrassed as the last time!

    "I always feel that it is not good for us to do this! China is too strong and has always had the upper hand in the fight against Germany! If we have a grudge against China, it will be very detrimental to us!" Queen of the Netherlands  Wilhelmina I said worriedly!  The Netherlands and China had a feud over Indonesia, but that was many years ago.  This time Crown Prince Wilhelm invited Queen Wilhelmina I to originally want to refuse. However, Germany¡¯s influence on the Netherlands was too great, so she finally bit the bullet and attended this banquet!

    "Your Majesty, don't worry! Although China is powerful, they are too far away from Europe! With so many of our countries united, we are enough to fight against the Chinese!" said Tsar Nicholas II!  The last time he was almost destroyed, this was a huge blow to him!  Finally, after paying a huge price, Russia was able to continue.  but.  But he thinks about revenge all the time.  With Russia's strength, facing China alone, Russia has no hope of winning.  Tsar Nicholas II had to rely on other countries, and Germany undoubtedly became the one Russia relied on!  This time, so many monarchs from European countries responded to Germany's call, which undoubtedly gave him hope!

    "Yes, His Majesty the Tsar's point of view is completely correct! Although China is powerful, especially their navy! However, after all, their navy deployed in Europe is only about 60%! With our European countriesWith his strength, he can definitely defeat them!  After all, they have to travel all the way to Europe, and we are fighting right at home, so we can wait for work!  "British King George V also said! It should be noted that in the last world war, it was also a complete defeat. Not only were all overseas colonies lost, but even the native island of Ireland became independent.  The military presence deployed on Anglesey and the Channel Islands poses a great threat to the United Kingdom. Similarly, the United Kingdom also wants revenge all the time and avenges its past humiliation. In terms of navy, the United Kingdom and Germany  Close cooperation has been carried out, which is why the German Navy has been able to develop rapidly in just a few years!

    The monarchs of other countries also responded one after another!  It can be seen that although everyone is still a little afraid of China, so many people are brave, which also gives them a glimmer of confidence!

    In a pavilion in the garden behind the German Embassy in Austria-Hungary, German Crown Prince Friedrich and Pope Pius X were having a cordial conversation!  Benedict XV is the 259th Pope of the Vatican. After the death of the previous Pope Pius X, he was elected as the new Pope!  Pius X passed away four years ago. In the view of people in the Vatican, Pius X died entirely because of his death at the hands of the Chinese, which made him excessively sad and angry!  This makes the Vatican even more hostile to China!  The successor Pope Benedict XV is one of the top leaders of the Vatican who is firmly opposed to China.  However, although the Vatican's status is transcendent, it has little power in the secular world and cannot confront China at all!  Therefore, the Vatican's strategy is to unite the entire Western countries and use the power of the entire Western world to deal with China!

    This approach of the Vatican has been appreciated by Germany!  With the support of Germany, the cardinals and cardinals sent by the Vatican traveled among European countries, using the pretense of trying to hold masses, but in fact they acted as Germany's lobbyists, helping Germany unite European countries to fight against China.  !  So far, they have achieved remarkable results, and at least half of European countries have moved to Germany!  Of course, the most important European country besides Germany, Austria-Hungary, has not expressed its stance so far.  The other two victors in the last world war, the Kingdom of Romania and the Kingdom of Bulgaria, have not yet made a clear stance.  The two countries gained a lot of benefits in the last world war. They were worried that if they were on the wrong team this time, they would suffer heavy losses, so they have not made a clear stance yet!

    "Your Majesty the Pope, my father and the whole of Germany have seen the efforts of the Vatican over the years! If we can defeat China, the Vatican will definitely be able to extend its influence to the whole world in the future!" Crown Prince William said!  He knows very well that the Vatican spares no effort to help Germany. In addition to the hatred between the Vatican and China, another important reason is that the Vatican hopes to use Germany to expand the influence of Catholicism!  This is not bad for Germany.  Of course, the premise is that the Vatican only rules the spirit of believers and cannot be contaminated by secular power. Otherwise, Germany will not support the Vatican!

    "Your Royal Highness, this is what the Vatican should do! Those evil heretics are a complete disaster to the entire civilized world! Only by defeating them and wiping them all out can the glory of God envelope the entire world!  "Benedict XV said almost through gritted teeth.  Now he seems to be a man blinded by hatred. His usual kind and kind demeanor has long disappeared!

    "Of course! China is a total disaster to the whole world! Only by eliminating them can the world be peaceful!" Crown Prince William said with a smile!  If the German government regrets the most, it must be its support of China!  Although they defeated Britain by supporting China, they created a more powerful opponent for themselves!

    ¡°His Royal Highness, Crown Prince, when will His Majesty the Kaiser come to Vienna?¡± Benedict XV asked.  He looked forward to a meeting with William II to determine some future issues.  For example, what benefits can the Vatican gain after defeating China?

    ¡°My father will set off from Berlin and come to Vienna in two days!¡± Crown Prince William said.  Germany is a neighbor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Kaiser Wilhelm II¡¯s special train departed from Berlin and reached Vienna in just one day!

    Looking at the European monarchs in the garden, Crown Prince William was very satisfied. These will be Germany's future boost, or cannon fodder against China!  However, Austria-Hungary did not join in, so Germany's plan was not perfect!
