Chapter 240 So Prestige Is So High

Frederick thought that Ferdinand would ask himself about the emperor's succession, and thought it would be a sideshow, but he didn't expect him to ask directly from the beginning.

Regarding this question, he said solemnly: "The principles of Wessen State's foreign relations are mutual respect for territorial sovereignty, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality, mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence."

Ferdinand, who had heard too much political rhetoric in his life, found that Frederick's statement was watertight, and said a little bit dumbfoundingly: "Don't say these words, I want to hear your truth."

Frederick replied to him with a smile: "What you said just now is the truth. If you speak specifically about the heir to the Emperor of the Osmaga Empire, my answer is to always support His Majesty the Emperor of the Osmaga Empire in his leadership of your country. Who is it?" Who does the emperor support."

Ferdinand could see that he didn't want to have anything to do with this matter at all, he shook his head and said: "You are just like those old foxes, alas, young people should look like young people, take risks when it's time to take risks, and Us old men would be boring, too."

Frederick kept a smile on his face, and said: "I came alone this time so that His Majesty doesn't have to worry about the army I pass by will have an adverse effect on your country. By the way, let's talk about supplies along the way. Isn't this an adventure? .”

"If Your Majesty tells me about the delicious food and beautiful scenery in Wayne City, I will be very interested."

Ferdinand frowned slightly, and asked him in disbelief: "That's why you came here? I heard that you are supporting someone?"

Frederick was taken aback, and immediately asked: "Who said I supported him? Among your many heirs, I only met Theresia once seven years ago. At that time, I asked her to eat dried fruit and she would Do not eat."

Ferdinand thought while holding his chin, and said after a while: "A brat said he gave you a pair of women in exchange for an army. I've seen those twin sisters. They are indeed a pair of twins. Waiting for beauty, if I were ten years younger, it would not be your turn."

This time it was Frederick's turn to frown, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "In the past few years, I have received many gifts from businessmen in your country, but I have never received any living or dead ones."

"I think the prince is either lying to you, or his servants have swallowed those two people for themselves."

"How about this, I'll ask my family to make a list of gifts related to your country and send them over, everyone check it out."

He was not sure about this matter in his heart, not sure whether it was true or the other party was blackmailing him.

"Then hurry up!" Ferdinand seemed very interested in this matter. "I heard that you supported several people. I thought you were diversifying your investment. No matter who becomes the throne, you will benefit from it!"

Frederick blinked and asked incredulously, "Didn't you just blackmail me? Someone really said that I was supporting them? Is my support so important?"

Seeing his reaction, Ferdinand was also a little strange, and said in surprise, "You don't know how famous your own reputation is now?"

Frederick shook his head.

Ferdinand saw that he didn't seem to be lying to himself, and there was nothing to deceive, so he said, "It seems that you don't know. We have fought against the Piast Kingdom for many years, and we know that they are a A tough opponent who suffered a lot from Kasimir."

"You led 800 people and defeated Casimir's [-] troops. When the news first came, we thought you were acting in an alliance. Let us relax our vigilance."

"So after discussing with Hicks, we decided that Hicks should not move in Bohemia to prevent your sneak attack, and we quietly deployed tens of thousands of troops to wait for you to kick your ass when you kick Hicks' ass. "

"It wasn't until Kasimir took someone to the east to grab a round of money to catch his breath that we were sure that you really defeated Kasimir."

"There is also Waldemar of Danma Kingdom. He is famous in the north, but he was cut down by you unexpectedly."

"Now in the north, children dare not cry when they say you are coming."

"Here among us, who doesn't admire and worship a hero like you, and I have seriously thought about how to make you work for me."

"I don't know how many people here admire you, how many ladies and wives want to have a story with you.

"Theresa knew that she regretted meeting you before, and when she knew that I intended to recruit you, she quietly asked me if I could let her marry you. I thought about it, and finally heard that you have already married the Principality of Mainz. The princess was engaged to get married, and Thearesia was very angry about it."

Frederick was dumbfounded when he heard that, he didn't expect that his reputation was so high that he might be copied by the ladies and wives.

"So that's the case." Frederick shared a lot of things, "No wonder Marshal Hicks stayed motionless in Bohemia, instead of taking the opportunity to smash the Piast Kingdom. I thought it was It is caused by internal reasons in your country."

"Let me assure you that I have no interest in the succession of your country's throne. I can also guarantee that the army will not stop when they pass by Wayne City. I only hope to be able to resupply in the cities along the way."

Ferdinand was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand and tugged the rope on the head of the bed, it was obvious that it was a specific signal.

The door came and Hicks walked in.

Ferdinand said to him: "I agree in principle to the supply of Duke Wessen's army. The army cannot stop at the 50 kilometers upstream and downstream of the city of Wien. You can discuss the supply point. That's it."

Hicks didn't say much, and left after taking orders.

Before Frederick could thank you, Ferdinand said, "Actually, I want you to support which one."

"Ah?" Frederick was taken aback, "Why?"

Ferdinand said calmly, "Let's not talk about this issue for now."

"For thousands of years, how many wars have been fought because of heirs. In order to support one's heirs, war is often the most effective means. Only you don't care about this issue at all."

"I ask you, now that you have come, you will inevitably enter the vortex, what will you do if they ask you to cooperate."

Frederick said without thinking, "If it's about business, then everyone has something to talk about. When it comes to politics, I will clearly say what I just said."

Ferdinand asked him with a smile: "What if they use their feelings to win you over? My daughters, granddaughters and granddaughters are all very beautiful. They will do anything for the throne."

Frederick also replied with a smile: "Feelings are feelings, and interests are interests. If you take off your clothes, you don't talk about interests, and when you put on clothes, you don't talk about feelings. Just come."

Ferdinand held out his hand to give him a thumbs up.
