The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 1500 Transaction (Part )

Upon hearing this, Queen Olga immediately felt the excitement of discovering a hidden mission, but Franz on the side still looked at her with embarrassment.

She knew that her husband, who usually never showed his emotions, would prove that the matter was not very important if he started to show his expression.

Olga couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but it didn't matter. Since it wasn't important, she could just show off her skills.

Franz trusted Olga, who was a very measured person. In addition, there was no surveillance or recording in this era, so what was said in private could not be counted.

It's just that Anna is a bit pitiful. It should have been a beautiful day, but now politics has to do with it.

And according to Anna's assessment of the situation, she felt that no matter what deal Lakshmi Payi wanted to propose, she would not get an immediate answer, and it would be even more difficult to get the answer she wanted.

After all, his brother, Emperor Joseph I, would definitely wait until the time was most beneficial to the Austrian Empire before making a deal.

By that time, the Zhangxi state would probably be in a precarious situation.

Outsiders may not think of this, and may not even think so. After all, every action of Franz saved many people, many countries, and many kings. The church even labeled him a saint.

However, Anna, who once studied under Franz, knew that the timing of each of her brother's actions was repeatedly deduced, and some of them were even planned by him. Franz liked to call it "heroes create the times."

Anna didn't think Jhansi had any chance against such a hero who could make the situation happen. But she was also conflicted about this. After all, her brother was her relative, so why should she sympathize with others?

In fact, at the moment the two sides clashed, Anna regarded Lakshmi Payi as a weak person.

"You tell me. I will do my best to support you, but when it comes to the country's position, the final decision will be made by my husband."

Franz had expected Olga's words, but Lakshmi Payi was a little disappointed. She hoped that the queen would be a naive and innocent person who liked to show off, so that things would be much easier.

But now that things have come to this, she can't back down.

"My Maharaja Gangadhar Rao wants to purchase weapons and equipment for 3,000 men, and hopes that your country can send weapons experts and military instructors to help train our soldiers."

Before Lakshmi Payi finished speaking, Olga began to shake her head.

"I cannot agree to your request. There is an armistice agreement between our country and Britain. I cannot accept providing weapons and military advisers to your country."

Olga's words were a serious official answer, but Franz had many ways to do these things in disguise, such as smuggling by private companies or under the guise of selling hunting equipment.

The Royal Hunting Equipment Company of the Austrian Empire did this a lot, and private companies that sold weapons to India have never stopped.

In fact, at that time, a considerable number of civilian weapons manufacturers in the Austrian Empire were vests of the Tyrol Royal Arsenal. After all, Franz could not do everything in the name of the royal family, as that would be too degrading.

As for sending military advisers, France had sent quite a few to the Sikh Empire. The British did not react much, after all, those Frenchmen were retired military officers, and serving in the Sikh Empire was a personal act, not a national action.

When Lakshmi Payi brought this up at the banquet, the nature of the situation was somewhat different.

While the British might ignore it as they did with the French, they might also see the Austrian Empire's actions as a provocation.

However, there is still a way to avoid this problem. After all, Franz forces a large number of soldiers to retire every year.

Just when Franz was about to end this boring conversation, Lakshmi Payi spoke again.

"In addition to the normal purchase cost, as a reward, His Majesty Maharaja Gangadhar Rao is willing to adopt your child as his adopted son." Before Lakshmi Payi could finish her words, Anna quickly stood up and pushed her down.

"Ridiculous! You're on LSD! Get out of Vienna and never come back!"

Olga was well-mannered, and although Gangadhar Rao's so-called remuneration was almost an insult, she remained calm.

Franz stood up and prepared to send Olga out first. He didn't want anything to happen to his wife. Of course, he couldn't be too nervous, so as not to make Olga feel uneasy.

“I told you before, Indians all grew up drinking the water from the Ganges. That river has everything, and drinking too much will cause problems sooner or later.

Look, a nice little girl has become like this."

Franz scolded with a joking look on his face, and waved his hand to signal the servants to take the Indian away. Olga complained for no apparent reason and could only leave in embarrassment.

On the other side, Bordeaux, who heard the commotion outside the door, also walked in alone.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"You've arrived just in time, Baron de Bordeaux. There's a mental patient who needs to be dealt with."

Franz's tone was calm, but what he said was shocking. However, Bordeaux did not ask any more questions. This was the professional quality of a qualified aide-de-camp.

Franz didn't want to care about the damn Queen of Jhansi. What did the Indian national hero have to do with him?
Although I don’t know why Lakshmi Payi said that, just from what he said just now, I can be sure that he is a brainless and dangerous person.

Franz would not allow such a guy to threaten his family, so of course the mad dog had to be put in a cage. This was his last mercy.

"Please wait and let me finish what I am saying. Maharaja Gangadhar has no heir. Your child can inherit the land of Jhansi.

Your child does not need to go to India, as long as he inherits the title of the Rajah of Jhansi and promises that Jhansi will not be annexed by the British. "

Olga thought this proposal was a good one, as it was like giving a great gift to the unborn baby. No heirs, adopting a son, inheriting the land, isn't this just a small country lacking a king, looking for an heir from other royal families?
Moreover, she had recently become familiar with the process of the Habsburg family's expansion of territory. Apart from her husband, few people in the entire Habsburg family expanded through military force, and so much of the land was inherited.

I didn't expect that a job would come to me before my baby was born. It turns out that I am a descendant of the Habsburg family.

After the logic was self-consistent, Olga couldn't help but sigh: "Reading more is really useful!"

"Let her go! Let her finish her words!"

Seeing that the two servants were about to take action, Olga immediately shouted to stop them, then looked at Franz excitedly.

This left Franz confused, he thought.

"What's going on? Does pregnancy make you stupid for three years?"

"Olga, what do you want to do?"

"Isn't this because the throne of the little kingdom is vacant and they are looking for a king? Look how lucky our son is! No, it's them who are so lucky."

She winked and mouthed the words.

“Follow tradition and inherit the land.”
