“Now that it has been decided, I will go to Uncle John with Anna.
From being a little Grand Duke of Liechtenstein to becoming the King of Andalusia, I believe Uncle John would be very happy. "
Liechtenstein, with an area of 238 square kilometers and a population of less than 10,000, is a truly small country. Although it is a sovereign country, it has always been Austria's little follower.
Andalusia covers an area of about 100,000 kilometers. If John II successfully becomes the king of this country, it will really be a step to the sky.
John II didn't have much desire for power, so he probably wouldn't mind if there was such an opportunity.
Although John II did not have a son, as King of Andalucia, he was actually occupying this position for the Braganza family, but he should be very happy.
John II valued family ties, and Anna was regarded as his daughter. Anna and Francisco also respected him and treated him as their father. The family relationship between the two parties was very strong.
As a grandchild, Tang Ning often gave gifts to express her concern for such a gentle old man.
"That's right! Tangning, let me tell you some good news. The German side has agreed to the ammonia synthesis technology license you requested from Professor Franz Haber."
"Great, ammonia synthesis technology is very important to us in Portugal." Tangning said quickly.
Although Germany provided a large part of its ammonia synthesis technology on a par with the Allied Powers, Tang Ning liked this situation very much.
Today's Portuguese United Empire, the Entente Powers and the Central Powers all plan to bring them to their side. If not, let them be neutral.
After all, Portugal's combined imperial resources are a huge complement to the two major European camps. Maintaining a good relationship with him has more advantages than disadvantages.
The current role of the Portuguese Empire is very similar to that of the United States, but it is a little weaker than the United States. Moreover, Portugal's strategy does not conflict fiercely with the two camps. Therefore, the two camps now benefit from Portugal's technology introduction needs.
Although it is a benefit, ammonia synthesis is undoubtedly a heavyweight technology, and Germany can provide it now. This gives Tangning more hope of rip-off.
Synthetic ammonia technology is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. It has greatly promoted industry and agriculture.
The chemist Haber's original intention of inventing synthetic ammonia was not good. His goal was to serve the war. Because ammonia is an important raw material for the explosives industry, the birth of synthetic ammonia solved Germany's serious shortcomings in the military industry.
Synthetic ammonia is ammonia directly synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen in the presence of high temperature, high pressure and catalyst. It is a basic inorganic chemical process. In the modern chemical industry, ammonia is the main raw material for the fertilizer industry and basic organic chemicals.
Before World War I, synthetic ammonia was mainly used in the military industry. However, after the war, it was promoted to a wider range of uses and turned to serve agriculture and industry.
"Tang Ning, I learned through my secret channel that Professor Haber, who invented synthetic ammonia, has also made new achievements in the German military industry.
This professor has developed some poisonous weapons of mass destruction. It is said that if put into the battlefield, it can change the situation.
Tangning, I think we in Portugal need this kind of weapon, and we should contact Germany on this matter. "
"Father, these weapons of mass destruction you are talking about are not made of poison gas, right?" Tangning blurted out.
Franz Haber has a great negative reputation because he invented poison gas chemical weapons and actively promoted their use on the battlefield.
"I don't know about this. I just heard some rumors that Professor Haber's new military achievements have been classified as confidential."
Francisco replied.
The Germans still have a strong sense of confidentiality, at least much stronger than the British and French. Francisco can know some superficial things because he has connections in the German aristocratic circle.
"Confidentiality?"
Tangning thought for a while and said, "Father, we'd better not touch Germany's confidential technology. We'd better not ask about Professor Haber's new invention."
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
If another country asks about something that is confidential in one country, it is a serious matter no matter how you look at it, and the relationship may break down.
Germany was a wealthy and generous country, but Tang Ning knew that she couldn't ask for anything without a bottom line.
Besides, engaging in a gas war would be too much.
For Tang Ning, he would only choose that method when he really couldn't fight anymore and wanted to break his skin.
Of course, Portugal will also develop similar chemical weapons. This is not some kind of chastity memorial that does dirty work behind the scenes.
Some things, no matter how inhumane they are, are definitely better than nothing.
If you don't, then you have no chance to resist.
Just like Iraq, if it really has weapons of mass destruction, the United States can bring its little brother to beat it in groups.
It is precisely because it did not have it that the United States unscrupulously took out a tube of washing powder and made up excuses to knock on the door.
"Father, how are José and Catherine learning to speak?"
After chatting with her father about national affairs, which naturally turned into private family matters, Tangning started to care about her younger siblings.
The mother, Anna, became pregnant when she sent Mary to South America. Later, she gave birth to twins on March 12, 1909. The boy was named José and the girl was named Catherine.
"Both children are quite smart and can already communicate with us simply, but they are still a lot worse than you.
When you were three years old, you could barely hold a pen and write your own name. "
"Father, don't be so demanding. Children should focus on entertainment. It's too early to start supervising studies at such a young age.
Now that we in Braganza have regained control, some things don’t need to be so urgent. "
"Well, you have a point.
Catherine can take it easy, but José must not relax in his education. He will be the king of Aragon in the future, and he should learn from you. "
"Well, then I hope my brother can be as good as me." Tangning said with a smile.
It seems that my precious brother was deceived by him.
The main reason why Tangning's learning progress was so good was that time travelers did not have the mystery of being in the womb, and the aura was too powerful.
"Tangning, I will send Catherine back after a while."
"What's wrong, father?"
Tangning asked a little strangely: "Catherine is still young and needs family affection at a time when she is young. Why should she send him back?"
"It's not because those Austrian nobles are too annoying. Even other German royal families have been attracted recently."
Francisco complained: "It's all a bad habit of the Habsburgs. Their family has been playing this trick since ancient times.
The Habsburgs began to have an eye on Catherine at such a young age. yesterday……"
After Francisco gave a brief explanation, Tangning understood her father's troubles.
"Father, I understand. It's better to send my sister back as soon as possible."
