"What? Let Carol be the queen? Are you crazy or am I crazy?" At the dinner table, Margot looked at Josie with wide eyes, and then looked at Mike and Carol beside her, with expressions of confusion on their faces.
incredible.
The two cute kids on the side didn't know anything and were working hard to stuff food into their mouths.
Today's main dish is yellow lip fish from Xia Kingdom. It tastes quite good and the two children like it very much.
Thanks to the blessing of the times, this kind of endemic offshore fish in Xia, which is almost endangered in the 21st century, is very abundant in this era. The reason why it will be endangered in the future is mainly because of the devastating disaster after the 1980s.
caused by fishing.
The reason why Qiao Xi was able to eat this kind of fish was because after the Boeing 707, the world's first jetliner, rolled off the production line, Continental also officially extended its tentacles into the civil aviation industry.
And quickly build lines.
For the civil aviation industry, the most important things are convenience (efficiency) and comfort.
As far as these two items are concerned, propeller aircraft cannot compare to jet airliners.
Therefore, as soon as Continental Airlines' new aircraft was released, it quickly aroused enthusiasm around the world, especially when everyone knew that the US President's car had also become a Boeing 707, even though its price was much higher than that of other airlines.
Old-fashioned propeller planes are also still popular.
Business is not good.
As soon as the business of Continental Airlines was good, orders from airlines around the world also drifted to the United States and Austria like snowflakes. Because of the previous "cooperation" of jet fighters, Boeing also established a new company in Bavaria.
Branch.
Not only the civil aviation industry, but also the military of the United States and many European countries have also seen the modification potential of the 707 and placed a large number of orders.
Now Boeing's factories are running 24 hours a day and are simply too busy, so they have to add more production lines.
Although Continental Airlines' main routes are mainly in Europe and the United States, there are also Europe-Asia and America-Asia routes, but the distance is too long and transfers are still required.
As for the location in Asia, there is no doubt that it must be the Bauhinia Flower Market.
Although Josie has secretly tricked Britain many times, on the surface, Josie's relationship with Britain has always been pretty good, which is completely different from France - although in international affairs, Britain also has debts.
There are still situations that happen, but at least in the transaction with Qiao Xi, this situation has not happened yet.
The biggest dispute between the two sides is mainly over the Austrian issue.
But in the eyes of the outside world, Josie is just an American originally from Austria, a middleman for cooperation between Austria and the United States.
What he really represents is the interests of the Americans, not the interests of the Austrians.
The depth of his control over Austria is not even clear to the Americans, let alone the UK?
Therefore, although the British were unhappy with Austria, they were not dissatisfied with Josh, a rich American who had made a lot of contributions to Britain during the war, because of his role as a middleman.
Coupled with the emergence of Carter, the "Captain Britain" who worked for the United States, which was created by Josie, the British senior management has always had a good impression of Josie - the emergence of Carter, the "Captain Britain", has been a big deal for many ordinary people.
, is a secret, but for the intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom and the United States, it is almost a semi-public existence. This is also deliberate by Josh and agreed by Truman.
Therefore, it can be said that it is very smooth for Continental Airlines to establish a route in Bauhinia City.
The yellow lip fish we had for dinner was flown over after the route to Bauhinia Market was opened.
Although the fish was delicious, after Josie told the news that Austria was planning to make her daughter Carol the Queen of the United Kingdom of Austria, Margot obviously no longer had the desire to taste it.
"I also know that this thing is crazy, but if you think about it carefully, it's actually not a bad thing, is it? And I didn't agree, so I'm not discussing this with you." Qiao Xi spread his hands.
When Carl Renner first proposed that he should be the king, while Josie refused, he also considered whether to let his son Michael take this position.
But after thinking about it, this still doesn't work.
As Josie's eldest son and only son, Mike represents too much meaning.
The idea of favoring boys over girls has never been exclusive to Asia.
Although there were many queens in European and American history, at any time, the inheritance rights of male heirs were much higher than those of women.
Even in the 21st century, it is the same - the first heirs to the royal families of various countries are basically men.
Therefore, there is really not much difference between having Mike become the king of the newly established United Kingdom and having Josie himself be the one.
It can only be said that Carl Renner's shrewdness exceeded Josie's imagination.
He actually proposed that Carol be the king of the United Kingdom.
This was something Josie didn't expect.
And this idea is very practical.
The importance of a daughter and a son are very different.
Make Carol the queen, and only give the rest of Josie's family empty titles without granting inheritance rights to the throne.
Then it can be completely understood that the United Kingdom of Austria is just a symbolic image set up to thank Josie, an Austrian-American, and to try to draw closer relations with the United States, and has no practical significance.
Especially this king, who is only a three-year-old baby.
In this child's play model, the Austrian throne remains in the hands of the Kahn family, and Josie himself will not be feared by the United States because of this - even the United States will actively promote this after knowing it.
This incident, and then let Qiao Xi take this as an opportunity to give him more support so that he can control Austria on a deeper level.
It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
"Of course I know this is not a bad thing, but I always feel that this is too crazy... And if Carol becomes the Queen of Austria, does that mean she has to stay in Austria? Do we live in Austria in the future?
Austria?" Margot thought about it carefully, it was quite touching that her daughter skipped the princess stage and became a queen.
But when she thought that her daughter might not be able to leave Austria from now on, she was a little unhappy. They couldn't settle down in Austria as a family in the future, right?
Although Neuschwanstein Castle is beautiful, if you stay there all the time, it will actually feel too empty, especially when Josie is not around.
"Of course not. When Carol reaches adulthood, or even until she completes her studies, she will not leave us. She will just have more people to take care of her, and she will receive a fund appropriated by Congress every year. Before that, she will
The symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual meaning! At most, we need to take her to attend some events occasionally, but in other aspects, there won’t be much difference!” Josie shook her head and said.
This was also what Carl Renner had discussed with him. Only by allowing Carroll to grow up in the United States and receive an American education would the United States be more convinced that Carroll's existence would only have a symbolic meaning.
At the same time, it also facilitates the closer relationship between Ogilvy and Mather.
But if it is really confirmed that Carol will become the Queen of the United Kingdom, then Josie will definitely give Carol a real imperial education in private in the future.
A symbol? Come on.
With Josie here, when Carol comes of age, she, the queen, will definitely have real power.
And at that time, Qiao Xi believed that Austria must have the capital to confront the United States, and he had completely moved behind the scenes.
More than ten years are enough for Josie to do too many things.
"Okay, now that you've made your decision!" Since Josie said this, Margot naturally had no more worries, as long as she didn't let her children leave her from an early age.
And being smart, she also heard another meaning from what Qiao Xi just said.
Until Carol comes of age and completes her education, the symbolism outweighs the practicality, but what happens after that?
Margot couldn't help but look at Josie a few more times - her man seemed to have more and more secrets.
As a result, the throne of the soon-to-be-established United Kingdom of Austria was decided like a child's play.
However, the establishment of the kingdom is still in the preparatory stage, and the actual establishment should take another year or two, so there is no rush.
The most important thing right now is the wedding of Josie and Margot.
Leisurely days always pass quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the wedding day has arrived.
Under the auspices of contemporary Pope Pius XII and the auspices of more than 3,000 guests, Josie and Margot successfully completed the oath and the entire wedding process and officially became husband and wife.
The two cute kids, Mike and Carol, naturally became the flower girls at their parents' wedding.
As for Pius XII, Josie actually only sent out a tentative invitation at first, without much hope. If he didn't come, just let the Austrian bishop preside over it.
After all, the Pope's name is worth some money.
But what I didn't expect was that the pope was very generous and agreed immediately.
As for things like Catholics not allowed to have sex before marriage, they were selectively ignored by all the guests and even Pope Pius XII who presided over the wedding.
Anyway, similar things like giving birth to children out of wedlock are not uncommon among the royal nobles in Europe who still believe in Catholicism.
For the entire wedding scene, Qiao Xi also ordered a batch of advanced digital camera equipment from Yuri in advance, allowing them to completely record this most important moment in their lives.
"Well, these things are really good, come on, Josie!" In the corner of the wedding venue, a figure wearing a ginger robe who was incompatible with the guests was looking at the two people who were taking the oath, while holding something on the table.
I kept stuffing pastries into my mouth and mumbling.
But no one seems to be able to see her behavior.
Who is this person if he is not Gu Yi?
……………………
After the wedding, the guests all sighed at the perfection and luxury of the wedding, and left Schwangau to find their own mothers.
As for the protagonists Josie and Margot, they will naturally not leave so soon. After finally coming to Europe, how could they not stay longer?
And after getting married, a honeymoon is a must--although before the wedding, including more than half a month on the cruise ship and a month at Neuschwanstein Castle, the two of them had been together for almost two months.
But if you're not married, it doesn't count. There's nothing wrong with that.
What Qiao Xi didn't expect was that the honeymoon would have to be stopped just halfway through.
There is no way, Josie has worked so hard, it is completely unjustifiable that it will not bear fruit.
Yes, Margot is pregnant again.
Unlike the backward biological pregnancy test method in the United States, in Neuschwanstein Castle, Qiao Xi was specially equipped with a batch of advanced medical equipment provided by Yuri.
So Margot just felt a little nauseous, and then she checked and found out.
I'm more than a month pregnant.
In eight months, the Kahn family will have a new member.
This is certainly something worth celebrating.
But for Josie, this day was originally a day worthy of celebration.
That is the plane trading system, and it has finally arrived for its annual refresh day.
So this wave is a double happiness!
At night, after driving the two little monkeys back to the room and putting his wife to sleep, Qiao Xi once again locked himself in the study alone.
"So... what kind of world will it be this time?" Josie muttered as she looked at the system screen in front of her expectantly and nervously.
Soon, the scene began to change, and what appeared in Qiao Xi's sight was a very modern, even sci-fi-like large office.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This scene immediately shocked Qiao Xi. This is obviously a high-tech world.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes appeared on the screen across from him, which further confirmed Qiao Xi's judgment.
"Plane Trader? If I remember correctly, today is not April Fool's Day!" The middle-aged man opposite said, leaning on the large office chair, frowning at Josie.
"Of course not, today is your lucky day...I am Josie Kahn, what do you call me?" Josie asked with a business smile.
"Lawrence Robertson, Mr. Kahn from another dimension, what can you provide me through this trading device?" the middle-aged man replied with a commercial smile on his face.
There is no doubt that the person opposite is also a business person, and Qiao Xi also looks at the other person and feels that he looks slightly familiar.
"Don't be too anxious, Mr. Robertson. Why don't we confirm some basic information first? Is that the Earth over there?" Josie asked calmly.
"Of course, that's right. If you ask that, is it also the earth over there?" Hearing Qiao Xi's words, Lawrence was a little surprised and asked immediately.
"Yes, my place is indeed the Earth, but we should be in a different era, and even have a different history... Is it the 21st century where you are?" Josie nodded.
"Yes, I am here in 2035." Lawrence confirmed, "Where is Mr. Kahn?"
"1948!" Josie smiled and said the era he lived in.
"Oh, I think we will have a lot of topics in common!" Lawrence's eyes lit up after hearing Josie's words.
As the world's richest man, Lawrence is naturally not an easy person.
He immediately understood how beneficial the time difference between the two worlds would be to him.
But unfortunately, Josie's behavior at the next moment made him widen his eyes.
Qiao Xi raised his hand, and with a bang, a huge fireball appeared in his hand.
