Although Princess Alexandra is not as politically sensitive as her younger sister, she is not too far behind. After all, her son Frederick Karl is still very powerful. As the Prince of Prussia, this is considered to be a heroic and bloody man. Prince's title.

So Augusta used the excuse that he was not in Berlin, so it would be better for his sister and nephew to explore the way first. After all, compared with his "incompetent" younger brother Karl Alexander, Frederick Karl is much stronger.

Besides, Li Xiao was not particularly surprised when he heard that William I and Augusta were not in Berlin. Because he knew that cousin was easy to deal with, but that aunt was really shrewd. The previous temptations didn't get her a satisfactory result. How could she give up, and it was a normal choice to try another group of people.

It's just that the well-known Frederick Karl was selected as a tester, which still surprised him, because according to his historical knowledge, this famous blood prince should have suppressed the revolution in Baden.

However, Li Xiao was not too entangled, because the history books only told him that Frederick Karl suppressed the Baden Revolution in 1848. The specific process is not clear. Maybe now he has completed his mission and returned to Berlin!

At this time, Frederick Karl was wearing a hussar lieutenant colonel's uniform, but he didn't have the beautiful mustache of later generations. His bronze skin and well-proportioned figure looked powerful.

Anyway, looking at it makes Li Xiao give up, because it is really not easy to find someone who looks thinner than him among the royal families of various countries. These guys are all tall and mighty, and they look like dogs, making him look like a short winter melon. Maybe he wanted to regain some confidence in his appearance and found it in the Habsburg family's inbreeding freaks.

It's just that when Li Xiao thought of Franz Joseph, his waist suddenly became cold again. Although that guy was politically inexplicable, he was born with a good skin, and what was especially annoying was that that guy married Princess Sissi. It's probably useless for the Boothsburg family to regain some confidence!

While Li Xiao was watching Frederick Karl, the latter was also watching him. To be honest, the blood prince was quite disappointed with Li Xiao, not only because of Li Xiao's height, but also because he didn't see the heroic temperament of a soldier from Li Xiao. As a pure soldier, Frederick Karl believes that only military temperament is a sign of a man, without military temperament is equal to being a bitch!

Li Xiao saw through Frederick Karl's thoughts at a glance. Obviously, this man was basically consistent with the description of later generations. He was stern and full of military temperament. Any non-military or less iron-blooded performance would make him look down on him. It is very difficult to win the favor of this kind of person, because you have to make him feel that you are a real man and strong enough to do it!

But how do you call yourself a real man?

And how to call it iron-blooded is really hard to say, and there is no uniform standard for this. It doesn't mean that you can put on airs to be effective.

Li Xiao immediately cheered up, he knew that the key test of this trip was coming.

"It's an honor to meet your Excellency. I am inspired by your deeds in Baden. If all countries can be as decisive as you, this riot will never break out!"

Li Xiao first sent a flattery to ask for directions. As the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling face with your hand. He took a picture of Frederick Karl’s performance in Baden. It should be a scratch, at least it won’t be a bad thing.

Frederick Karl's reaction also reflected this point. Even a strict and rigid person like him would feel very comfortable when his grades were mentioned. Although this comfort was very short-lived, it did not change his contempt for Li Xiao's overall attitude, however, will not make him lose his temper as soon as he comes up.

"You are overrated. I just performed my duties. This is what the soldiers of the empire should do. It is not worth mentioning!"

To be honest, these words are very blunt, a bit repulsive, and there is also a kind of pride in the bones. Anyway, it is full of arrogance, which makes people daunting!

Li Xiao also sighed in his heart. He knew how troublesome this mission was. Just looking at Frederick Karl's virtue, one can imagine what his second uncle, William I, was like, and William I's character was also the same. Such a tough guy is also a difficult boss to deal with. If even Frederick Karl can't handle it, then the old clapper William I behind him will be even more helpless.

Li Xiao's mind turned quickly, thinking about how to speak next. Because he knew that every next sentence was very important. If he couldn't close the distance with Frederick Karl in the shortest possible time, it would be difficult to talk about it.

After thinking for a while, he said: "The only thing I regret is that there are still too few soldiers like you in Prussia, otherwise these mobs would not be so arrogant! In Russia we will tell them with bayonets and cannons that they must Follow the rules!"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Frederick Karl, even Karl Alexander, Princess Alexandra, and Maria Pavlovna were stunned. They don't understand how someone's face can change so quickly, one second they were still praising, and the next second it becomes a slap in the face? Isn't this neurosis?

It is indeed a bit neurotic, but the only way to deal with neuroticism is to use neuropathy. It is obvious that Frederick Karl is not an ordinary person. He has a strong mind and a strong personality. It is almost impossible to use ordinary words to move him closer. Because his way of thinking and world view have already taken shape, if he feels that he is not in the same way as you, he will not ignore you at all, then even if you talk about it, it will be useless.

If you want to convince him, first of all you have to make him feel that you and him are the same. So how is it a person along the way? Let's watch Li Xiao's performance!

Frederick Karl frowned slightly, but he was not angry because of his good noblemanship, but looked at Li Xiao meaningfully, and then said slowly: "You mean that the performance of our soldiers is not good enough? "

"Yes!" Li Xiao was also very straightforward, "If the performance of your country's soldiers is up to standard, you won't let a group of mobs show off their power and act recklessly!"

This made Frederick Karl look angry. He didn't agree with it. He didn't think that he and his colleagues had really performed poorly, but before he could defend himself, Li Xiao jumped ahead and said: " Of course, your army is not the only one that performed poorly. The performance of Austrian and French soldiers is a mess, worse than yours. But this is not an excuse for us to relax our requirements, and we cannot convince ourselves that the performance of other countries' soldiers is worse Take those equally bad performances with peace of mind!"
