Holy Roman Empire

At the hunting grounds of the Vienna Palace, Franz ’s marksmanship remained stable as always.

Perhaps he loves life too much and can't bear to kill it, so every time he shoots, the bad luck is the surrounding flowers and plants.

"Franz, how many times have you told me that the gun is not used that way, you can't aim at it!"

A familiar voice sounded, breaking the harmonious atmosphere.Undoubtedly, it was Grand Duke Carl, and no one else dared to be so arrogant.

Franz Zhenzhen said: "Hunting, originally for the game, why not be so serious?"

Recently, there have been a lot fewer prey, and if we continue to do so, we will be extinct soon."

Face must not be lost. After so many years of political influence, Franz has already developed the ability to not change his face.

No, in the shortest time, he found a suitable excuse.The hunting area of ​​the Royal Palace is not large, and there are not many wild animals on it.

Duke Carl also loved hunting, and many smart wild animals ran away.What remains is stupid, and now the harvest of hunting is getting smaller and smaller.

Of course, running is not necessarily a good choice.There is no wildlife protection law this year, and running out may die faster.

Grand Duke Carl nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder my harvest is getting smaller and smaller, it turns out that the prey is reduced, it seems that I really need to pay attention."

After a pause, he realized: "No, Franz will not change the subject for me. Your set is already broken.

Based on your broken gun method, if you are on the battlefield, don't you know how many comrades will be injured by mistake, don't you feel ashamed?"

Franz retorted: "Don't worry, father. This assumption is impossible at all. If you really need me to go to the battlefield, do you think the marksmanship is good or bad?"

It seemed that he was angry, Grand Duke Carl glared at Franz, and scolded: "It's up to you to be ridiculous, whatever you want. Anyway, don't say that your marksmanship is mys, I can't afford to lose that person."

Franz responded very cooperatively: "No problem, if you didn't say it, they don't know it now."

Duke Carl's face changed a lot, as if he lost face.Looking at the expression of everyone who wanted to laugh, but did not dare to laugh, he sneered: "Humph!"

This fighting pattern has happened many times.Especially the older he is, the more Duke Karl likes to find a few sons. Franz has been surprised.

Speaking of marksmanship, Duke Carl is still proud.Even if he is not much worse than the sharpshooter in the army.

Using a special sniper rifle, Grand Duke Carl can achieve an effective hit 500 meters away, which is well-deserved first in the royal family.

This is also the most depressing place for Grand Duke Carl, and his marksmanship actually has no heir.

The juniors of the Habsburg family all hold a game mentality about learning marksmanship, and most of them are better than Franz.

In Franz's opinion, this is the normal situation. Where there are so many sharpshooters, ordinary talents are the mainstream.

The Habsburgs were originally known for their politics and diplomacy. It is an exception to produce a sharpshooter. How can it be wholesale?

In fact, the previous generation of the Habsburg family should be considered the most difficult generation.

Uncle Ferdinand suffers from congenital disease, his father Duke Carl has no political talents, all talents are focused on marksmanship, and several uncles have little ability.

In the Franz generation, the situation improved slightly.Even if you are out of the idealist Massimiliano, everyone's IQ is still normal.

The next generation is still young, and the ability level cannot be completely determined, but Franz feels that it should be improved, at least without congenital disease patients.

It's also right to think about it, such a small probability, how can it be so easy to encounter every time.Unless it is a family genetic disease, there is no way, no matter who you marry, the chance of getting the disease is high.

Franz had already experienced it when his parents were not good.For the marriage of his sons, Franz did not worry too much.

Especially the marriage of the eldest son Frederick is a big trouble.Political marriage is a must, and this is the responsibility and duty of the crown prince.

With whom he married, Franz had a headache.Not only must we consider the political influence, we must also consider the upbringing of the marriage partner.Queens are not so good, and even preparing queens requires certain personal abilities.

Otherwise, it will not be a boost, but a burden to hold back.Later generations often say that marrying a wrong woman destroys three generations. Now that the crown prince marries a wrong wife, it is more than ruining three generations. It is a country.

Franz doesn't expect much help, but just asks no trouble.

It is actually very difficult to meet this requirement.Now Franz finally understands why the European royal family likes to marry late, they are forced out.

Every political marriage is a test for the royal family. Once the wrong choice is made, the disaster brought about cannot be recovered.

The god of love, throw it aside first!According to past experience, the marriage of the vast majority of royals has nothing to do with love.

When one door is right, most love is blocked.Lower the standard, the second son can still play like this, as long as it does not inherit the throne, it is not a problem.

The crown prince has no choice. Not only does the royal family object, but all sectors of society will oppose it. The most troublesome thing is that the people can't accept it.

Who knows how much sadness is behind the royal romantic love story circulated in later generations, and who knows how much political trouble?

No one knows how many people shed blood and sacrifice in order to achieve a beautiful love story.

This is a responsibility and an obligation. To enjoy the benefits brought by the royal family, we must pay a price for it. Marriage is only part of it.

In the Vienna Palace, a stack of photos appeared in the hands of Franz, above which were photos of princesses of various countries, and there were information notes behind them, all selected by Queen Helen.

Well, there are actually no good choices.She just ruled out her bad health and age, and the rest is here.

The youngest is only five years old, and the largest is no more than twenty years old.Franz is a little speechless and can only sigh: This is to find a daughter-in-law in the kindergarten.

Of course, this is not just finding a wife for Frederick, but the daughter-in-law of several other sons may also be among them.Only in the absence of suitable candidates is it possible to lower the standard.

Lowering the standard is easy to say, but very difficult to operate.At least Queen Helen firmly opposed it, and she thought it would bring great trouble to the life of her son for the rest of her life.
