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

But even so, it still can't stop the British people's love for Swiss crafts, especially those engaged in navigation-related businesses regard it as a symbol of status and strength.

The environment at sea is harsher and more turbulent than on land, and there are higher standards and requirements for the accuracy of time, so sailors are in urgent need of an object for spiritual sustenance.

After all, in the face of the vast and endless sea, without a reference, it is easy to cause mental depression. With a watch, sailors can at least live with their fingers.

In fact, it is an inevitable development process from a pocket watch to a wristwatch, because the pace of human life will become faster and faster, and clothing will also become simpler and lighter. This is a historical trend. Knowing this Franz can do a lot matter.

For example, the formal suit that Franz wears every day is very normal for people in this era, but in a hundred years, people who wear it all day will be regarded as crazy.

Speaking of the watch industry, even if the level of the watch factory opened by Franz is not up to the level of Swiss watches, it will not be much worse.

But in terms of fame, I am afraid that it will not be able to compare with it for a long time. At this time, if you want to pry open the Russian market, there is no better billboard than the Tsar’s family, and if watches can really set off a trend, maybe the Austrian watch industry can complete a counterattack.

Queen Alexandra put a watch on her hand and took her husband's arm.

"Honey, do you look good?"

Nicholas I looked at it seriously and said.

"Isn't it just a watch with a strap? Isn't it good to put it in your pocket? It's so ostentatious."

Of course Alexandra knew her husband's straight temper, so she said carefully.

"Darling, imagine a lady fumbling around in the inner pocket of her skirt to check the time. It's probably not very elegant. It's much more convenient to wear on the hand, and I think it looks good .You see the kids like it too."

Nicholas I just replied indifferently.

"As long as you like it."

Then he said to Grand Duke Karl.

"Carl, let's go. My boys are good hunters too..."

Olga Nikolaevna, Alexandra Nikolaevna, Konstantin Nikolaevich, Nikolai Nikolaevich, Mikhail Nikolaevich, Nicholas I was still in Russia 6 children, only Alexander did not come.

Queen Alexandra explained that she was newlyweds, sweet and intimate, so she could not be there. But in fact, His Royal Highness the crown prince has gone somewhere to fool around, especially the third department searched all over St. Petersburg and couldn't find him.

The Special Third Division is a secret service organization directly under the tsar, similar to the Austrian secret police force. Although it has a smaller number, it is much more efficient.

On the outskirts of St. Petersburg, the royal hunting ground.

There was a gunshot, and then a brown bear 150 meters away let out an angry growl. A bullet hit it in the abdomen. Fear and anger dazzled it, and it chose to attack the crowd.

"Don't shoot!" Nicholas I said.

At this time, facing the brown bear running at high speed, Archduke Karl raised his gun, took aim and pulled the trigger.

There was another gunshot, and the brown bear was hit on the forelimb and immediately fell to the ground, but still roared angrily.

But soon the struggle stopped, and the Tsar's gun had been loaded, and a shot hit the brown bear in the forehead.

The bullet pierced through the skull, and blood gurgled out, and someone shouted first.

"His great Tsar Ulla."

"Ulla!"

"Ulla!"

....

The Tsar had a good harvest today. In one afternoon, they hunted 3 bears, 1 tiger, 5 deer, and 12 rabbits.

The accompanying officials naturally tried their best to praise the Tsar's marksmanship. Only he himself knew that it was entirely due to the new bullets.

Just like what Archduke Karl said, this kind of bullet not only has a high filling speed, but also has extremely high accuracy. A skilled shooter like him only needs ten seconds to complete the loading.

During this period, it was generally believed that the filling speed was equal to the firepower, and the design of the bullet was at the bottom of the box. Faced with such a generous gift, Tsar Nicholas I was a little at a loss.

"Carl, my friend. I really don't know how to thank you, this gift is really great!" After speaking, Nicholas I called his two daughters over.

"This is Olga and Nikolaevna. They are my most precious treasure, and I would like them to marry your sons if possible."

Nicholas I had only met Albrecht, and he had a good impression of this young man. He was a very brave young man and an outstanding soldier.

In fact, marrying Austria has always been within the scope of the Tsar's consideration. Last time, he hoped that his eldest son Alexander could marry the youngest daughter of Grand Duke Karl.

Because Russia really needs an ally, the British are like a mountain lingering on his head.

In the several crises that broke out before, Russia was increasingly isolated, which was not what the Tsar wanted to see. Although he does not want Austria to compete with him for hegemony in the Balkans, it is better than falling to the hostile side.

"Your Majesty, I am flattered by your generosity, but it is better for the children to decide for themselves." Although Grand Duke Karl is very rigid in many aspects, he is extremely open-minded when it comes to children's marriage.

As a result, his children led to many strange marriages. In fact, Archduke Karl's own marriage was very strange, because he married a Protestant, which was definitely considered among the Habsburg family who claimed to be the guardians of Catholicism at the time. The above is the heterogeneity of the heterogeneity.

"Oh? Then what do you want? My friend~lightnovelpub.net~ Nicholas I was a very straightforward person, so he just spoke up.

"I want to discuss a business with His Majesty. Our textile industry needs a lot of cotton, and this crop cannot be grown on Austrian land."

Grand Duke Karl actually didn't quite understand Franz's purpose, but he believed in his elder brother's vision. Of course, even if he was wrong, the wrong thing was that Franz II had nothing to do with him.

"Cotton?" Nicholas I didn't know much about the economy. He only knew that his country earned foreign exchange by exporting grain and timber.

"Yin Larion." Nicholas I called Prime Minister Yin Larion Vasilyevich Vasilichkov, and the Prime Minister trotted all the way to the Tsar.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"My friend wants to buy cotton, let's talk about it." Nicholas I said, but Yin Larion immediately showed embarrassment.

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty, Russia is also an importer of cotton." Yin Larion replied.

Nicholas I frowned immediately, but he felt that the design of the bullet was more valuable than the **** cotton, and he just wanted to ask Yin Larion to meet the requirements of Grand Duke Karl.

"Your Majesty, in fact, your land near South Russia, the Black Sea and the Caucasus is suitable for growing cotton, but the local officials don't know it."
