2548 Bavarian literary youth
Princess Sissi had already made her cousin fainted. She looked at her handsome brother and suddenly felt that all the favors she had given him before were so wasteful.
Before this younger brother ascended the throne, Princess Sissi liked him very much, thinking that he was handsome and melancholy, full of artistic atmosphere, and was his best friend. However, once ascended the throne, Princess Sissi discovered that this younger brother was a completely political idiot.
"My dear cousin, can you think calmly and forget the random thoughts in your mind? We are now discussing strategic events between countries, not literature and art! No matter how powerful French culture and art are, what does this have to do with war?"
Ludwig II shook his head desperately and said, "No, my cousin, what you said is wrong! Culture is the upper class of the economy, and only the most powerful economy can give birth to the greatest culture! If France's national strength is not strong enough, it will not be able to support it at all, and it will be dazzling and dazzling culture!"
"Why did ancient Greece and Roman culture flourish so much? The main reason is based on its huge economic foundation at the bottom!"
"When Greek culture flourished, Greece was the center of the world! After Rome replaced Greece's status as a great power, it became the leader of world culture!"
"So my dear sister, you must remember that the ultimate reflection of national strength will be in culture! Whoever has the most brilliant culture will be the strongest!"
"When talking about ancient Greek culture, my dear sister, I really found a good baby!"
"Come on, come and see, I found a real treasure in the auction market! This is a marble sculpture unearthed on Crete, the Medusa's head! Look, how exquisitely carved these lines..."
"I have done a lot of research. Any time when the art forms of carving and painting are prosperous, it is an era of great economic development. Otherwise, when people are not full, no one has the leisure to carve stones..."
Ludwig II was really a political idiot. He didn't notice his cousin's gaze that wanted to kill, and actually brought out a 30-centimeter-high sculpture of the ancient Greek Medusa from the cabinet.
Touching the marks on the sculpture, the king seemed to be communicating with artists thousands of years ago. He seemed to be able to see with his own eyes that the sculptor was tapping his carving knife. The ordinary marble gradually became lively and full of vitality!
Just as he was in hallucination, Princess Sissi suddenly slapped the table, and a loud bang woke Ludwig II up from her dream!
"Enough! I'm so fed up with your madness. I'm talking about serious state affairs with you. What does it mean to take out such a statue for me?"
"Please put it away, or I'll throw it from the window under the cliff!"
The High Swan Castle is built on a mountain peak on the northern foot of the Alps. Open the window to overlook the surrounding plains, and under the window is a deep cliff.
If the window is smashed and thrown down, the baby statue will be gone! Ludwig II was so scared that he quickly wrapped the statue in red velvet silk and stuffed it back into the display cabinet.
"My dear cousin, why are you so angry? You just want to share my happiness with you!"
"Happy? You want me to be happy! Then build our principality better! Please devote your energy to governance? I'm asking you now, when did you get the news that Xiao Lotte came to Bavaria?"
"It was a telegram sent from Berlin last evening..." Ludwig II said timidly.
"Okay! I received the telegram yesterday. So what kind of welcome preparation did you make throughout the night? Why didn't you go to the train station to pick it up in person?"
"Check the station?" Ludwig II asked with a confused look on his face, "Why should I go to greet him? I have sent my uncle to greet him. Isn't that enough? I'm going to hold a grand lunch here to welcome this Easter guest..."
Princess Sissi's hands were shaking in anger, "I really didn't expect you to be so confused. If you don't greet such things, who will come?"
"That person is the head of the East! The most powerful person in Asia! Even the emperor of the Qing Empire was very respectful in front of him. How dare you be so neglected with such a person!"
"Xiao Lotte arrived in London, Prince Edward and Prime Minister Benjamin went to greet him personally! When he arrived in Berlin, William I went to pick him up..."
"What are you? Do you not even understand the minimum diplomatic etiquette? Do you think the strength of our Bavarian Kingdom is higher than that of Prussia? Is it even higher than that of Britain?"
"They can all go to greet guests from afar in person, why can't you do it!"
Ludwig II looked at his cousin innocently, "But... but no one told me, no one told me this."
"Besides, hasn't the ancient China in the East been declining? They have been defeated by the British and French for several consecutive times, and they have almost become European colonies. What's the use of respecting them..."
"God, how could you have such a stupid idea? What does it have to do with Xiao Letian if China declines or not? Do you know how big China is? Do you know how many people there are?"
"China's area is equivalent to the entire Europe! Even if they decline as a whole, some of the areas will become more prosperous than our Bavarian Kingdom!"
"Xiao Letian is the revival of the East! You can disrespect the Qing Dynasty, nor can you disrespect him. Have you forgotten his amazing performance on the Pakatan Harapan battlefield? Have you not paid attention to the war reports and information in the East for many years?"
"A Eastern politician who even Britain and France must pay attention to, you actually showed this indifferent attitude. You simply disappointed me!"
"My cousin, you are causing trouble, do you know? You are causing trouble for yourself!"
Ludwig II is a typical literary youth. Although he does not have much ability, he has an inexplicable arrogance.
My cousin scolded him a few words, but he didn't care. What he cared about was the scolding? In his heart, he really looked down on the far east!
Today, my cousin actually used a Chinese as an excuse to pick on himself, which made him feel very, very unhappy.
"Come on trouble? I don't think I can cause any trouble. I'm just a politician from the far east. Even if he has more strength than me, he has nothing to do with us in Bavaria!"
"It's enough for me to give him normal courtesy. Do you still need me to receive him with a super standard?"
"You..." Princess Sissi made her cousin so angry that she couldn't speak.
"How did your head grow? Why don't you understand my advice? It's not a question of whether you respect Xiao Letian or not, but that even if you don't respect Xiao Letian, you should respect his ally Prussia!"
"He and Besmai are already considered iron-blooded alliances, do you know this?"
"What can Xiao Letian do when he is fine? He is not checking the war, or checking your situation, what else can he do? Just make this point, can you pay attention to this matter?"
