Vol 4 Chapter 150: , Got touched again

On July 8, 1917, the Allied forces captured Eggenfelden in Germany. Before Dante Christoph had time to celebrate, some Germans came to his door.
A young officer walked up to Dante Christophe and said, "Your Excellency Commander, the soldier on the front line has just found a German major general. He asked to see you by name and he has something very important to tell you, and He also said that if you are a true nobleman, you must see him!"
Dante Christophe was taken aback for a moment. Does the German on the opposite side want to negotiate? This is not right. If it is a negotiation, it can't be so big.
Could it be surrender? This is even more impossible. They have dragged the coalition forces for more than 20 days, with hundreds of thousands of casualties, so who would believe it?
The phrase "real nobleman" made him even more angry. Well, who would call him a generation of nobles from scratch? In popular terms, without a century of inheritance, you are ashamed to say that you are a real nobleman?
In the whole of Bulgaria, only King Ferdinand is regarded as a real nobleman, and the others are basically hot sellers!
This is also impossible. Bulgaria has only been independent for decades. Where can I find aristocrats with inheritance? If so, where would Ferdinand be the king?
Moreover, under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, even if there are nobles, they are also the nobles of the Ottoman Empire. European society will not recognize it!
But Dante Christophe would never admit that he was a hot seller. He suppressed the anger in his heart by force and said, "Bring that German major general over."
...
At the same time, Ferdinand in Sofia also received an accountability telegram from the Bavarian royal family, asking him to hand over the remains of Prince Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria Anurf. .
Ferdinand, with a dumb face, greeted the Bavarian royal family once in his heart, and by the way, he was going to wear small shoes for them to let them know that he was not easy to mess with!
Ferdinand sneered and said, "Call back the King of Bavaria and let him make it clear that Prince Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria Anulf is dead, what do you care about me?
If he does not have a reasonable explanation, then I must visit him in Munich, he will be very welcome! "
This is a naked threat + show off. Of course, this is also a kind of revenge for the rudeness of the King of Bavaria. After all, if Ferdinand held a military parade in Munich, the kingdom of Bavaria would lose its face!
Of course, this was based on the premise that the Germans were defeated in the war. The defeated country had no face!
Well, the bewildered Ferdinand was calculated like this, anyway, the tougher he is now, the more he will be at a loss! No way, who said this is the European 6?
In principle, everyone has a tradition of not killing nobles. No, it should not be possible to kill nobles for no reason. In principle, nobles are not killed on the battlefield!
This is one of the so-called aristocratic spirits. Looking back in European history, it will be revealed that many people would rather raise tigers than harm the aristocratic demeanor. You know how powerful this culture is.
Killing a prince on the battlefield is not a trivial matter. Of course, if there is a principle, it is estimated that the king of Bavaria might not mind going to the battlefield to die!
In this case, the influence will be even greater, and the Bavarian royal family can use the sympathy points of the outside world to escape punishment. Now only a prince has died, this score is probably not high enough!
Of course, if Ferdinand goes too far, the more sympathy they can get! On the other hand, if Ferdinand does not want to be this stepping stone, and carries the title of "arrogance" on his back, then he will find a way to make up for it, or let the Bavarian royal family shut it down!
...
After clarifying the situation, Dante Christophe began to have a headache. The Germans really found a good time, knowing that they are now asking for Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria ·The remains of Prince Anurf are delaying time, but he cannot refuse!
A prince was killed in the defeat. No one will accuse them. No one can blame the guns and guns, but can they refuse to ask for the remains?
This is related to the image of Ferdinand who has been operating in Europe for a long time, and annexed countries like Bulgaria are usually very boycotted in European society.
In order to reverse these adverse effects, Ferdinand had to create an image of a king that met the standards of the mainstream society. Simply put, he had a good moral training and his behavior must also be in line with the aristocratic spirit!
So far, Ferdinand has done very well and has a high reputation among European royal families, but it has both advantages and disadvantages. While bringing a good image, Bulgaria also has to converge in its actions.
This is why Marshal Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria Anulf dares to make such blatant calculations. If he is facing a bear, all his calculations will be lost. !
Dante Christophe tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. On the surface, he said in a personable manner, "The matter of Marshal Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria Anulf, we are very regret!
He is a real nobleman and our role model. We will try our best to cooperate with him in the aftermath. You can send a team of less than 10,000 soldiers to welcome his body! "
It's a pity that the German on the opposite side didn't buy it, and insisted on "Thank you! Can I see the prince's body?"
Dante Christophe only feels a toothache, originally in order to beat him back as soon as possible, and then send someone to find Marshal Leopold's body, give him treatment in line with his status, and return it to the Germans.
Unexpectedly, the Germans were still reluctant. If they didn't know that they were fooled, Dante Christoph would have been fooled. It was obviously aimed at him.
Now that he knows that the visitor is not good, Dante Christophe doesn't have to be polite with him, and said coldly, "What is your status? What is the relationship with the marshal?"
I saw the German officer calmly replied, "Major-general of the 6th Army of the German Empire, his full name is Houston-Maximilian Joseph Maria-Victor, and the late prince is my uncle."
Dante Christophe is in trouble. Obviously, the Germans are ready. Even the representatives sent here are members of the royal family of Bavaria. As for whether this royal family member is a side branch or a direct branch, he just I don't know, anyway, it's enough to be a family representative.
Well, it can be seen from the dialogue between the two sides that the focus of the controversy is that Dante Christophe has a "marshal" while the Earl of Houston has a "prince". The meaning of marshal and prince is completely different.
The marshal appeared as a soldier, so it would be easier to handle it. There is nothing to say about the soldier’s blood on the battlefield; but the prince appeared as a nobleman, and everyone died as the winner. In order to show that the gentleman’s demeanor must be given to others. Is there treatment?
But now that Dante Christophe has not even found his body, it is easy to be blamed, and people will think that this is a noble demeanor!
Of course, Dante Christophe’s personal aristocratic demeanor will disappear if he is gone. The big deal is that he cannot integrate into the European aristocratic circle. Anyway, Bulgaria is a self-contained system and will not affect his life.
But if someone with a heart is drawn to the king, it will be a big trouble, and this will rise to the national image of Bulgaria!
Dante Christoph had to explain patiently, "I'm sorry, but we haven't found the body of your uncle, the Earl of Houston until now, and it doesn't even exist. I can't guarantee it. I hope you can understand!"
Of course, there is also a bit of threat in it. The meaning is very obvious. If you get anxious, you will shoot twice. Lao Tzu will simply not admit that he died on the battlefield. Anyway, you can't come up with evidence. Just pull it slowly!
Of course, the consequence of doing this is that everyone becomes an eternal enemy and will still have an adverse effect on Bulgaria, but it is better than being threatened all the time!
After listening to Dante Christopher's words, Major General Houston also had to curb his arrogance. What would he do if he came to turn his face?
Now he is here on behalf of the Bavarian royal family, the main purpose is not for profit, if it is only for enmity, he is not crazy!
If it really irritates Bulgaria, once Germany is defeated, people will directly abolish the Bavarian royal family in the name of war crimes, don't they even have a place to cry?
"Okay, Commander! But I hope you can find my uncle's body as soon as possible. This is very important to us!"
Dante Christophe smiled and said, "Earl of Houston, I think your purpose is not that simple, right? If it's convenient, I think everyone can talk straight to the point, maybe it's good for everyone!"
Houston was taken aback. He did not expect that Dante Christoph would smash the window paper directly, but he immediately reacted and said cautiously, "Your Excellency Commander, I think the Bavarian royal family has already contacted the Bulgarian royal family for this question. Up!"
Dante Christophe nodded. Now that the senior management has begun to contact him, he will not continue to ask questions. After all, the decision on this matter is still in Sofia!
"Well, there is one more question to trouble you. We are not familiar with Marshal Leopold. I am afraid that you still need to identify the remains in person!" Dante Christophe said insidiously.
Obviously, this is not a good job, even if you know his approximate location, it is not so simple to find the body in the dead pile!
More importantly, it is already summer. If the corpse is not processed quickly, it will soon rot!
Faced with Dante Christophe’s request, Houston knew that he could not refuse it, so he could only smile and said, "Okay, but I’m probably too busy alone. I will send a telegram back to Ruprecht. The crown prince sends someone over to find it together!"
Obviously he is not stupid, so he just finds more people, and everyone suffers together.
Dante Christoph agreed after thinking about it, anyway, he is not afraid of the enemy playing tricks! If the enemy can start a surprise attack against the rules, he can naturally also be against the rules, and Leopold is dead in vain!
...
After receiving a call back from the Bavarian royal family, Ferdinand's whole body was instantly ill. Isn't this the legendary touch porcelain?
In his previous life, he had heard about it, and he has developed an industry. Many people specialize in touching porcelain for a living. It is to take advantage of people's sympathy for the weak and deliberately create accidents and blackmail!
Of course, the Bavarian royal family will definitely not play so low-end, someone really died of a prince, but it can't be done with a three-pronged pension!
Of course, if you want to blackmail it, there is no such thing. As long as the Bavarian royal family is not stupid, you will know that the public opinion depends on whom you are dealing with. For some people, it is a matter of face!
This incident involves more than one Bulgaria. The British, French, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are all involved. Anyway, it was the Allied Forces who did it together, and the pressure of public opinion was also the resistance of everyone. It's just that the coach is on the Bulgarian side, and the pressure from public opinion is even greater.
But these pressures of public opinion are the same. If Ferdinand is shameless, the Bavarian royal family really can't help it!
Is it possible that they expect someone to dare to stand up for them? It seems that the whole world can't find it now, can it suppress the existence of Britain, France and Austria?
Ferdinand Zou frowned and said, "Come here, inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send someone to the Kingdom of Bavaria to attend Prince Leopold’s funeral. By the way, let the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tell the Bavarian royal family that Bulgaria can abandon their war responsibility, but We also need to see their sincerity!"
There is no need to bargain at all. Ferdinand knows the purpose of the Bavarian royal family, which is nothing more than to avoid war crimes. If this matter can be used in exchange for the three countries of Britain and France to pursue their war crimes, this matter will pass!
Of course, if the King of Bavaria died on the battlefield himself, it is estimated that they would not even have to pay the following war reparations, at least Ferdinand could not show his face to ask the dead for war reparations!
But now they are a member of the German Empire, and the war reparations are counted on Germany. How to distribute is an internal problem for them, no matter how they hide, they can't avoid it!
Unless they are willing to be independent, then it is estimated that the Allied Powers will open their doors. At least the French are willing to dismember the German Empire, and Ferdinand will not oppose it, and will even support them to form a South German Federation!
