【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】

Before leaving, Bismarck took out a package and handed it to Alfred Krupp, who opened it with curiosity and doubts, and then stood there dumbfounded.

After regaining his senses, Alfred took out a hammer from the pocket in the storage room next to it, first tried to hit the mysterious object lightly a few times, and then took out a chisel and beat it hard.

Watching Krupp take out one tool after another, Bismarck hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter? As a steel merchant, isn't it normal for me to carry some tools with me?"

The former could only nod heavily.

After some testing, Alfred Krupp wiped the black lacquered iron with a handkerchief, and then sniffed vigorously with his nose.

"Seems to smell like manganese. It's a marvelous masterpiece. Not even the best craftsman in my factory could make such a perfect piece. No, not even the British factory. It's just like God Made it by hand!"

This excited industrial tycoon is very obsessed with steel and has always admired the spirit of excellence. This is also an important reason why Krupp Steel can continue to grow and develop, so he does not hesitate to praise the smooth handicraft in front of him. The words are not surprising.

"Otto, where did you get this treasure? Is it a sacred relic from a museum, or a meteorite gifted by heaven, or is it the latest product from a certain laboratory?"

Bismarck shook his head and couldn't help sighing.

"You can't imagine it. I found it in one of the Austrians' trash cans."

"What?!" Alfred Krupp's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief as if he was questioning the other party's lying.

"A few months ago I passed by a new department store in Vienna on my way to the Five Nations Conference; the item in your hand is the construction waste that a scavenger picked up and they threw away , I thought it was funny and brought it back."

During Bismarck's trip to Austria, he didn't go all the way to eat and drink like other Prussian officials, but did his best to conduct field investigations in Vienna.

In fact, this kind of steel has nothing to do with garbage at all, but the most critical material to support the ceiling. It is used to complete a special structure that requires high strength.

Obviously, this piece of leftover material was not recycled after use, but fell into the hands of the scavengers. After weighing it, he found that the iron block was very handy, so he decided to use it for cracking nuts and dealing with stray dogs.

Later, Bismarck who was "wandering around" accidentally saw him. His knowledge was naturally much higher than those of the scavengers, and he immediately discovered the difference.

So Bismarck paid for it and brought it to this steel-obsessed friend today just to verify his judgment.

"This is incredible! This is the most perfect steel I have ever seen in my life! Its hardness and impact resistance are unmatched! Otto, do you know that if we in Prussia can one day make guns out of this steel, then What a day it will be I can't even imagine..."

"I hope the Austrians will only use them to build houses..." Bismarck said worriedly.

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

"Ah!" Franz sneezed heavily.

"Grand Duke Franz, is Grand Duchess Carolina missing you again?" Adjani said jokingly.

"That's my aunt."

"So what? Didn't your grandfather marry his cousin?" In this era, there is no concept that close relatives are not allowed to marry.

Although some nobles would try their best to avoid marriages between close relatives, as long as the blood relationship exceeds three generations, they will no longer care about such things. In history, Carolina married her cousin, which belongs to the Habsburg family's traditional self-produced and self-sold circulation chain.

And Franz's meeting with cousin Carolina was a complete accident. The reason was that the latter wanted to play with her third brother, Archduke Friedrich, and as an incompetent brother, this guy had reached his limit.

"Brother, brother, I want to ride a horse!" Carolina said.

"My dear sister, riding a horse is not as interesting as taking a boat. When I have time, I will take you around Africa. Enjoy the unique scenery with my new steam warships. Giant ships and cannons are a man's dream!" Riedrich said without concealing the pride in his heart.

However, this remark made Carolina's head full of black lines.

"My dear brother, God has gifted you with sea skills, but has made you such an incomprehensible person.

I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed to add a boost to the empire but take away a great opportunity to add a new member to the family. ’ she said in a teasing and slightly mocking tone.

"You girls are really too difficult to understand! Forget it, it's easier to deal with sailors." Friedrich said with a look of disgust.

"Why, don't you know how to ride a horse and just find a lame excuse to prevaricate?" Carolina couldn't help laughing. She is already sixteen years old this year. Unlike Friedrich, she inherited a head from her mother. Blonde hair, dark blue boy holes make her an iconic German beauty.

In addition, this younger sister is ten centimeters taller than her elder brother, so she likes her little brother very much, especially the expression of reluctance and competitiveness after being teased by herself.

"Huh! I can't ride a horse? You really underestimate me! I even rode a dolphin in the sea!"

Obviously, Friedrich fell into the trick again this time.

"What is that dolphin!" A girl of Carolina's age wished that her family would pay more attention to her, so she pretended to be cute and said.

"Haha, what a ridiculous land creature, even a dolphin doesn't know what it is. Next time I come to Venice, I will take you to see it myself."

Then Friedrich took Carolina into Schönbrunn Palace on the grounds that riding a horse on the road was too dangerous. After marching to a large open space in front of the palace gate, he asked one of the accompanying guards to lead a white horse.

[To be honest, I have recently followed up, changed sources, and have many voices for reading aloud, .yeguoyuedu Android and Apple are both available. 】

He feels that the surrounding area is not only very wide, but there is also a meadow not far away, which is perfect for horse racing~lightnovelpub.net~ This chapter is not over, click [next page] to continue reading -->>

But just like his bickering sister said, he really doesn't know how to ride a horse, let alone how to lead a horse. After slipping with Carolina for a while, both parties felt a little bored.

So the two decided to have some fun. Friedrich slapped the horse's **** hard, and the horseman under Karolina's crotch stood up, with its front hooves in the air, and began to run wildly. However, the latter was not thrown off, Instead, he ran wildly with the horse.

At this time, Franz was discussing buoyancy with a group of friends. Seeing Carolina's frightened horse rushing towards him, everyone gave way, and she also shouted, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Seeing that the white horse was about to have a "violent collision" with Franz, it stopped suddenly, while Carolina on the horse flew directly into the artificial lake.

"Hail? Why are you here?"

Franz stretched out his hand, and the white horse licked his master's palm obediently, then snorted twice at Carolina who was still struggling in the lake.

Only then did everyone realize that after being frightened, it turned out that this was Franz's mount, and it was also a birthday present from Franz II.

Although Franz's little friends didn't "fall into the water", they were all scared out of their wits by the scene just now. At this moment, they regained their composure and yelled at the unfortunate person who fell into the water.

He sighed, worried about the IQ of his companions. They seem to have overlooked a key point, only the royal family can ride horses in Schönbrunn Palace.
