Chapter 188 Double Happiness
"What? Let Carol be the queen? Are you crazy or am I crazy?" At the dining table, Margot stared at Josie with wide-eyed eyes, and then looked at Mike and Carol at the side, with a look on her face. incredible.
The two cute babies on the side don't know anything, and are trying to stuff food into their mouths.
Today's main course is the yellow-lipped fish from Xiaguo. The taste is quite good, and the two children like it very much.
Thanks to the times, this kind of near-endangered Xia country's unique offshore fish in the 21st century has a very large number in this era-the reason why it will face endangerment in the future is mainly due to the destructive fishing after the 1980s caused by.
The reason why Josie was able to eat this kind of fish is also because after the Boeing 707, the world's first jet airliner, rolled off the assembly line, Continental Group officially extended its tentacles into the civil aviation industry.
And quickly established a number of intercontinental routes.
For the civil aviation industry, the most important thing is convenience (efficiency) and comfort.
As far as these two items are concerned, propeller planes are no match for jet airliners.
Therefore, as soon as Continental Airlines' new aircraft came out, it quickly aroused enthusiasm all over the world, especially when everyone knew that the car of the President of the United States had also become a Boeing 707, even though its price was much higher than that of other airlines. Old-fashioned propeller planes are still selling well.
Business is not good.
As soon as the business of Continental Airlines improved, the orders of airlines all over the world also drifted to the United States and Austria like snowflakes—because of the previous "cooperation" of jet fighters, Boeing also established a branch in Bavaria. company.
Not only the civil aviation industry, the military of the United States and many European countries also saw the modification potential of the 707 and placed a large number of orders.
Now Boeing's factory is also running 24 hours a day, so it is simply too busy and has to add more production lines.
Although the main routes of Continental Airlines are mainly in Europe and the United States, there are also Europe-Asia and America-Asia routes, but the journey is too far away and a connecting flight is still required.
And in Asia, there is no doubt that it must be the Bauhinia Market.
Although Josie has cheated on the UK many times, on the surface, the relationship between Josie and the UK has always been pretty good, which is completely different from France-although in international affairs, the UK also has debts that cannot be repaid. The situation happened, but at least in the transaction with Josie, this situation has not happened yet.
The biggest quarrel between the two sides is mainly on the issue of Austria.
But in the eyes of the outside world, Josie is just an American with Austrian ancestry, a middleman in the cooperation between Austria and the United States.
What he really represents is the interests of the Americans, not the interests of the Austrians.
His control over Austria is so deep that even the Americans don't know, let alone Britain?
So although the British are very upset with Austria, they are not dissatisfied with Josie, a rich American who made a lot of contributions to Britain during the war, because of his status as a middleman.
In addition, the appearance of Carter, the "Captain of Britain" who worked for the United States, created by Josie, also made the British high-level executives have a good impression of Josie-the appearance of Carter, the "Captain of Britain", for many ordinary people. It was a secret, but for the intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom and the United States, it was almost a semi-public existence. This was also Josie's intention and Truman agreed.
So it can be said that Continental Airlines established a route in Bauhinia City very smoothly.
The yellow-lipped fish for dinner was transported by air after the opening of the Bauhinia Flower Market route.
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 lost her desire to taste it.
"I also know that this matter is crazy, but if you think about it carefully, it's not a bad thing, is it? And I didn't agree, isn't this discussing this matter with you." Josie spread her hands.
When Carl Renner first proposed that he be the king, while Josie refused, he also raised the question of whether his son Mike should take this position.
But on second thought, this still doesn't work.
Mike, as Josie's eldest son and only son, represents too many meanings.
The patriarchal idea has never been a patent in Asia.
Although there are many queens in European and American history, at any time, the inheritance rights of male heirs are much higher than that of women.
Even in the 21st century, the first heirs of the royal families in various countries are basically men.
So making Mike the kingdom of the newly formed United Kingdom is not so different in the sense that Josie himself is.
It can only be said that Carl Renner's shrewdness is still beyond Josie's imagination.
He actually proposed to let Carroll be the king of the United Kingdom.
This is what Josie didn't think of.
And this idea is very practical.
The importance of daughters and sons is very different.
Make Carol queen and only give empty titles to the rest of the Josie family, not the right of succession 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 trying to get closer to the United States, which has no practical significance.
Especially this king, who is only a three-year-old doll.
In this kind of child's play mode, the Austrian throne remains in the hands of the Kahn family, and Josie himself will not be jealous of the United States because of this—even the United States will actively promote this after knowing it. Things, and then let Josie take this as an opportunity to give him more support so that he can go deeper to control Austria.
It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
"Of course I know it's not a bad thing, but I always think it's crazy...and if Carol becomes Queen of Austria, does that mean she's going to stay in Austria forever? Are we going to live in Austria in the future? Already?" Margot thought about it carefully, her daughter directly skipped the princess stage and became the queen, which is quite touching.
But when she thought that her daughter might not be able to leave Austria from now on, she was a little unhappy. Couldn't the family settle in Austria in the future?
Although Neuschwanstein Castle is beautiful, if you live there all the time, you will feel too empty, especially when Josie is not around.
"Of course not. Carol will not leave us until she is an adult, or even until she finishes her studies. She will have more people to take care of her, and she will receive a fund from 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 activities occasionally, and in other respects, there will not be much difference!" Josie shook her head and said.
This is also what Carl Renner discussed with him. Only by allowing Carol to grow up in the United States and receive American education will the United States believe that Carol's existence is only a symbolic meaning.
At the same time, it is also convenient to narrow the relationship between Ogilvy and Mather.
But if it is really determined that Carol becomes the queen of the United Kingdom, then Josie will definitely educate Carol in private in the future.
A symbol? Don't make trouble.
With Josie here, when Carol becomes an adult, she, the queen, must have real power.
And at that time, Josie believed that Austria must already have the capital to confront the United States, and he had completely moved behind the scenes.
Ten years is enough for Josie to do too many things.
Being smart, she also heard another meaning from what Josie said just now.
Before Carol came of age and finished school, the symbolism was greater than the actual meaning, after that?
Margot couldn't help but look at Josie a few more times—there seemed to be more and more secrets about her man.
So, the throne of the soon-to-be-established United Kingdom of Austria was decided in such a child's play.
However, the establishment of the kingdom is still in the preparation stage, and it should take a year or two before the actual establishment, so there is no rush.
The most important thing right now is Josie and Margot's wedding.
Leisurely days always pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.
Under the auspices of Pope Pius XII and more than 3,000 guests, Josie and Margot successfully completed the oath and the entire wedding process, officially becoming husband and wife.
As for Mike and Carol, two cute babies, they became the flower girls of their parents' wedding as a matter of course.
For Pius XII, at first Josie only sent out an invitation tentatively, without much hope. If the other party doesn’t come, just let the bishop of Austria preside over it.
After all, the name of the Pope is worth some money.
But what I didn't expect was that the pope was very face-saving and immediately agreed.
As for things like Catholicism that can’t do that before marriage, it was selectively ignored by all the guests, even Pope Pius XII who presided over the wedding.
Anyway, similar unmarried births are not uncommon among European royals and nobles who still believe in Catholicism.
For the entire wedding scene, Josie also ordered a batch of advanced digital camera equipment from Yuri in advance, allowing people to completely record the most important moment in their lives.
"Well, these things are really good, come on, Josie!" In the corner of the wedding scene, a figure in a **** robe, who didn't fit in with the guests at the scene, looked at the two people who took the oath, while holding the The pastry kept mumbling into his mouth.
However, no one seemed to be able to see her behavior.
Who is this person if not Gu Yi?
……………
After the wedding, the guests all felt the perfection and luxury of the wedding, left Schwangau, and went to find their mothers.
As for Josie and Margot, who are the protagonists, they will naturally not leave so soon. After finally coming to Europe, how could they not stay longer?
And the honeymoon is definitely a must after getting married—although before the wedding, counting half a month on the cruise ship and a month at Neuschwanstein Castle, the two have been tired of it for almost two months.
But if you are not married, it doesn’t count. There is nothing wrong with that.
It's just that what Josie didn't expect was that the honeymoon had to stop just in the middle of it.
No way, Josie has worked so hard, it is completely unreasonable that it will not bear fruit.
Yes, Margot is pregnant again.
Different from the outdated biological pregnancy testing method in the United States, Josie is specially equipped with a batch of advanced medical equipment provided by Yuri in Neuschwanstein Castle.
So Margot just felt a little nauseous, and then checked it out.
I've been pregnant for more than a month.
In another eight months, the Kahn family will add new members.
This is certainly something to celebrate.
But for Josie, this day was originally a day worth celebrating.
That is the plane trading system, and finally it is the annual refresh day again.
So this wave belongs to Double Happiness!
In the evening, after driving the two little monkeys back to the room, and comforting his wife to sleep, Josie locked herself in the study again.
"So this time... what world will it be?" Josie murmured expectantly and nervously looking at the system screen in front of him.
Soon, the picture began to change, and what appeared in Josie's sight was a very modern, even a large office with a sci-fi feel.
This scene immediately shocked Josie. This is obviously a high-tech world.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes appeared on the screen, which further confirmed Josie's judgment.
"Plane Trader? If I remember correctly, today is not April Fool's Day!" The middle-aged man on the opposite side leaned on a large office chair, frowned and said to Josie.
"Of course not, today is your lucky day...I'm Josie Kahn, what's my name?" Josie asked with a commercial smile.
"Lawrence Robertson, then Mr. Kahn from the alien plane, what can you provide me with this trader?" 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 Josie also looks slightly familiar with him.
"Don't be too anxious, Mr. Robertson, why don't we first confirm some basic information. Is your side the earth?" Josie asked calmly.
"Of course, that's right, if you ask that, is your side also Earth?" Hearing what Josie said, Lawrence was slightly surprised and asked back immediately.
"That's right, my place is indeed the Earth, but we should be in a different era, and even have a different history... Your side is the 21st century?" Josie nodded.
"Yes, I am here in 2035." Lawrence confirmed, "Where is Mr. Kahn?"
"1948!" Josie smiled and said the era he was in.
"Oh, I think we will have a lot of topics in common!" Hearing what Josie said, Lawrence's eyes lit up.
As the richest man in the world, Lawrence is naturally not an easy person.
Immediately understood how beneficial the age difference between the two worlds would be to him.
But unfortunately, Josie's behavior in the next moment made his eyes widen.
I saw Josie raised his hand, and with a bang, a huge fireball appeared in his hand.
