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

Chapter 1510 Shameless

Lakshmi Payi, whose lie was exposed, became depressed again. Anna had no choice but to hug Lakshmi Payi and comfort her.

"I was wrong. I was wrong. You have a population of one trillion in India."

Hearing Anna's words against her will, Lakshmi Payi became even sadder.

"Can't you stay in Vienna? You always complain that Jance is hot, stuffy, humid, and full of mosquitoes."

Lakshmi Payi shook her head.

“What’s wrong with Vienna?”

Anna asked with concern.

"Anywhere is fine. But it's not my home. My home is in India."

This time Anna did not persuade Lakshmi Payi again. She had heard the story of the scientist. There was once a scholar who faced a high salary and sincere recruitment from the Austrian Empire.

“Science has no borders, but scientists have nationalities.”

Anna also admires such people, and she has done her best as a friend.

Girls' entertainment is always so difficult to understand. Lakshmi Payi is very confident in her embroidery skills, but this skill seems quite weak in front of the sewing machines of the Austrian Empire.

Lakshmi Payi did not come empty-handed. She brought many of the most popular clothes in India at the time, and the sparkling decorations on them still attracted the girls' attention.

The Royal Girls' College, a gathering place for girls, naturally couldn't be without clothes, and soon a group of girls began chattering and trying on clothes.

On ordinary days, no matter how gorgeous the clothes are, they will have limited appeal to these young ladies, and they will not do anything inappropriate.

But once humans form a group, their IQ becomes extremely unstable.

On the other hand, Anna likes him. As the saying goes, "what the superior likes, the subordinates must follow." As Franz's only sister and the little princess of the Habsburg family, Anna's status is extremely noble even in the whole of Europe.

With Anna taking the lead, the other girls had to do things against their will.

New clothes and new hairstyles are very important for girls, so the book will not describe in detail the various dressing-up steps.

The girls were having a lot of fun, but Lakshmi Payi felt increasingly sad. She felt that she was so weak and ordinary.

All of Lakshmi Payi's servants in Zhangxi were considered the pride of the family, and he himself was the pride among the prides.

But in Vienna she felt that her halo had disappeared. No one would look at her with jealousy or envy for her talent and ability because she was too weak and too ordinary.

In fact, Lakshmi Payi is a little self-deprecating. She is indeed very special and very capable.

The reason why she seemed weak and ignorant in the Vienna Imperial Girls' Academy was mainly because the people who could get in touch with Anna were either wealthy and noble ladies with extremely strong backgrounds, or truly gifted and extraordinary women.

Moreover, the education of the Austrian Empire played a big role. The model school established by Franz was absolutely the best in the world in terms of teaching staff at that time.

Another issue is the gap between countries. The technological level of the Austrian Empire is not comparable to that of the Jhansi Principality. Even if it is replaced by the whole of India, the technological gap between the two sides is too big.

The combination of the above factors has created a huge gap between the two sides. If Lakshmi Payi can really cross this gap, it is definitely not just a matter of talent. Generally speaking, we would use the word "incredible" to describe such talent.

That is Anna. If it were Franz, he would not care about Lakshmi Payi's pretentiousness.

Lakshmi Payi had never given up the task assigned to her by Gangadhar Rao, but Franz refused to take it, and Olga was also a principled person. At first, Lakshmi Payi could still meet Franz and Olga through Anna, but after many times, she lost even the opportunity.

With the arrival of another letter from Raja Jhansi, Lakshmi Payi had no choice but to consider the last resort. In fact, she originally wanted to let her maids do it for her.

But they didn't even have the chance to see Franz.
When Lakshmi Payi, dressed in gorgeous attire, came to meet Franz with the so-called letter of credence, Franz felt extremely helpless.

When the so-called letter was opened, Gangadhar Rao's shamelessness was clearly evident.

Franz threw the letter into the trash can, but it was soon picked up by Lakshmi Payi.

Franz could only say helplessly.

"Do you know what's written on it?"

Lakshmi Payi replied expressionlessly.

"know."

"You know what's written on it, but you still come here foolishly. Don't you think it's stupid? Why should we be loyal to such a person?"

Lakshmi Payi did not answer.

"You can stay here. I can ensure that your family will be brought to Austria safely. After that, you can choose to be Anna's maid. You should know that being Anna's maid in this country is already an honor.

If you don't like staying in Austria, I can also send you to Africa and give you a manor."

This time Lakshmi Payi interrupted Franz.

"Will you help me or not?"

"Since you have made up your mind, there is nothing I can do to persuade you."

Franz carved the four big words "Harmony and Friendship" on the back.

Although this was a shameless deal, it was beneficial to the Austrian Empire and harmless. It was also a good choice for Jhansi and Gangadhar Rao, as the sacrifices were only insignificant.

Franz, who had been working hard for many days, was enjoying a rare leisure time, when suddenly the news of the French ambassador's visit broke his peace.

Because the person who came this time was Alexander Colonna Walewski, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Franz felt that he was an opponent worthy of attention.

Franz felt that Alexander Korona Walewski was a man of his own kind, a man behind the scenes. A large part of Napoleon III's diplomatic achievements were due to this illegitimate son of Napoleon.

Moreover, the French have been silent for so long that it is time for them to take action. Franz also wants to see what the French are trying to do.

France at this time was different from what it was in history. Franz divided France into three parts. It was unrealistic for Napoleon III to rely on France itself to surpass the rest in national strength.

Under the new Vienna system led by Franz, France had to fight a major European war if it wanted to reunify.

The Austrian Empire held a huge advantage at this time, but Franz had also lost his advantage as a time traveler. He could no longer rely on history to predict France's actions, so he had to be extremely alert.

At this time, France was still the proud Gallic rooster, a tough nation that would not admit defeat even in a battle involving mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

French nationalism and revanchism are reviving as France's national strength gradually recovers. In the near future, a major war between the two sides is inevitable.
