"Xiao Letian is not dead... Xiao Letian is not dead... How could Xiao Letian not be dead?"
When Xiao Letian left the carriage where he was, and only Bismarck and the young king were left here, Ludwig II finally calmed down from his hysterical mood.
He stared blankly at the table and kept mumbling to himself. Bismarck next to him looked at him with pity and was too lazy to talk nonsense.
Of course, Xiao Letian was not killed so easily. How could someone who came with the momentum of reversing China's national destiny capsize in this small river in Bavaria?
But it was very thrilling for Xiao Letian to escape this disaster!
In this incident of turning danger into good fortune, two people became his nobles, one was Pierre and the other was his lover Princess Sissi.
Prince Liutpod and his son bid farewell to Xiao Letian at the Munich train station, but they did not know that there was another person waiting to intercept Xiao Letian in Ingolstadt, a famous city on the Danube north of Munich, and that was Sissi. Princess.
Princess Sissi was not looking for Xiao Letian to have sex with her this time. She was requested by many Bavarian industrialists and wanted to help them get a meeting with the head of state.
This matter is a long story. In the final analysis, it was the historical trend that saved Xiao Letian’s life!
The main purpose of Xiao Letian's visit to Bavaria this time was to explore Ludwig II's trump card and see how the preparations were going. This visit did not involve tasks such as industry, commerce, and cultural exchanges.
Coupled with Ludwig II's indifference towards Xiao Letian, it was even more difficult for the Chinese to carry out activities. In three days, Xiao Letian went to Swansea Castle, then visited various government departments in Bavaria, and participated in several A cocktail party was held.
There was no effective visit at all. These three days were a complete waste of time for politicians.
But the gains are not without success. At least the relationship between Xiao Letian and Princess Sissi has deepened. No wonder they say that a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief! Infidelity is like a drug, it makes people want to stop!
However, the emotional release of politicians is always short-lived, and Xiao Letian did not hesitate at all when it came time to leave. However, he did not know that just because of his unexpected appearance in Bavaria, he privately made a group of people scratch their hearts and minds. Restless.
Who are these people? It’s those industrial and commercial owners in Bavaria who don’t get attention!
It's not that Ludwig II doesn't value them, but that Ludwig II can't give these industrial and commercial owners what they want.
What do these people want? The first thing they want is laws and regulations that are beneficial to them, the second is cheap resources and productivity, and the third is a vast dumping market.
The only purpose of capitalists' existence is to pursue capital profits. They watch helplessly as capitalists all over the world make a lot of money, but they have never developed significantly. This impatience pervades the entire Bavarian industrial and commercial community.
They don't dare to compare with Britain and France, but now even Prussia's industrial strength is higher than that of Bavaria. How can they not be anxious?
The impulse of capital to pursue profit is their inner desire, and this desire is actually the original force of capitalist revolution in political textbooks.
If the king cannot give capital a space to flex its muscles, and if the feudal system still heavily restricts the impulses of capital, then revolution is inevitable.
What's more, in this era, the British and the French had already set the template for revolution. Wherever the pioneers were inspired, there would naturally be latecomers ready to take action.
Fortunately, Ludwig II was not a foolish king. He did not oppress the capitalists in the country, so these people did not have much desire for revolution.
But Ludwig II himself was an incompetent and neurotic young man. He did not have the ability to give these capitalists what they wanted.
He dare not take the initiative to reduce his rights, let alone go overseas to colonize and develop raw material bases and dump goods markets. He simply cannot complete these tasks, even if he is killed.
Therefore, these capitalists are eager for a breakthrough, and they are eager to change this status quo. This is the biggest contradiction within Bavaria.
In Bavaria right now, basically all capitalists and industrial and commercial owners support merging with Prussia because they have seen how Prussia, led by Bismarck, became stronger.
If Prince Liutpod and his son launch a coup in the future, these people will be firm supporters.
The supporters behind Ludwig II are the traditional nobles, churches, landowners and the largest number of civilians. They hope to maintain the current pastoral and pastoral life and do not want to change.
The tide of the times was already rising, but Xiao Letian never expected that this tide would save his life in the end.
Dozens of Bavarian industrial and commercial leaders secretly met with Princess Sissi, and after sending out luxurious gift packages, they finally got Princess Sissi's approval.
Princess Sissi took them to secretly wait for the special train of the head of state in Ingolstadt, and bought these industrial and commercial owners two hours of secret meeting time.
Of course, Xiao Letian also wanted to meet these industrial and business elites in Bavaria, because Xiao Letian knew that Bavaria's technological level was also very strong.
People in later generations will all know BMW and Audi. These are Bavarian companies. Without a deep industrial foundation and scientific and technological talent pool, how could such an outstanding large company be born?
What's more, the small town of Ingolstadt has a name in later generations, called the City of Audi. This is the birthplace of the famous car brand Audi and its headquarters.
I met a group of Bavarian industrialists in this city. It was an indescribable fate!
Naturally, Xiao Letian couldn't refute Princess Sissi's face. He temporarily met with these industrial owners at the train station of an unknown town and listened to their requests.
These Bavarian businessmen have many demands, but in the final analysis, they hope to have in-depth cooperation with the Chinese and agree on a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation model.
These Bavarian businessmen also knew very well that their kingdom had no outlet to the sea, so the long maritime trade route was a constraint for them. Therefore, these people asked Xiao Letian to allow their capital to enter the Chinese territory, establish sole proprietorships of factories, and Sales are allowed.
If this request is seen by modern people, it is simply a big gift package. Who doesn’t want their country to receive more investment, but sometimes they are not even invited.
However, in those days, the entry into a regional market was often forcibly opened through war, and the interests of Britain and France in the Qing Dynasty were not obtained through peaceful negotiations.
In order to sell goods in Qing's ports, they had to resort to war for such a small amount of power.
The Bavarians did not have the strength to fight the Chinese, so they could only use negotiation to pray for the head of state's nod.
