Carl Alexander thought a lot, and only then did he realize why the old mother's attitude was so strange yesterday. But he was still a bit at a loss as to why he wanted to test his cousin Li Xiao.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's very simple. Auntie wants to know what the purpose of my special envoy's trip to see Prince William is."

Karl Alexander was at a loss again, because he was really insensitive to politics. His talent was misled by his old mother to the road of art and music since he was a child. You can talk to him about literature and music, and he can speak clearly , but when it comes to politics, it’s really playing the piano to the cow.

So he asked a little blankly: "Didn't you convey friendship to William on behalf of Duke Alexander? Didn't you?"

Seeing Karl Alexander's surprised expression, Li Xiao held his forehead. It is not easy for such an innocent child to grow up so big. If he was as naive as Karl Alexander, he probably wouldn't be alive now. The grass on the grave is probably three feet high.

Sure enough, the child's education needs to be stricter, and he must be allowed to handle things independently and solve problems on his own, otherwise he will become like Karl Alexander, and he will probably help count the money when he is sold!

Anyway, Li Xiao is deeply worried about the future of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach. If he remembers correctly, Karl Friedrich will lose his braids in 1853, and this little naive will inherit it in a few years. Now that the family business is over, is it really okay to let him be the head of the house?

Of course, Li Xiao didn't show these emotions. He replied very kindly: "Duke Alexander is the ambassador to Austria."

This answer made Carl Alexander's eyes full of confusion. He was confused. He couldn't figure out whether it was the cousin who answered the wrong question or he was too stupid to understand the deep meaning. Xiao made it clear.

Li Xiao shook his head in his heart again, and then said: "If our country wants to maintain the traditional friendship with Prussia and Prince William, it should be the ambassador to Prussia!"

Karl Alexander was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized. He slapped his hands and said in surprise, "That's right! Duke Alexander is the ambassador to Austria. Why did he come forward?"

Li Xiao just smiled, and then looked at Carl Alexander without saying a word. He had already made it clear enough. If the Grand Duke still doesn't understand, it means that he is a complete idiot and it is not worth continuing. Waste of energy.

And Karl Alexander muttered to himself: "So Duke Alexander didn't send you here to maintain relations at all? Why is that? To jointly suppress the revolution?"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Xiao eagerly again,

Hopefully this cousin will reveal the answer soon. It's just that Li Xiao was not so happy, he just looked back at the past with a smile.

For a while, he felt a little staring, and after a while Carl Alexander realized that Li Xiao would not tell him the answer directly, he had to guess slowly by himself. So he finally turned his rusty political mind with difficulty, and began to think about this very difficult problem.

"It shouldn't be about suppressing the revolution. The chaos in Berlin and Prussia is basically settled, otherwise William wouldn't come back on his own initiative... What would it be? Could it be suppressing the rebellion in Austria together? There is such a possibility. Didn't you yesterday?" Are you saying that the situation in Hungary is very bad? Could it be that Duke Paskovich and Duke Mikhail can’t deal with the rebels and hope that Prussia will also send troops to help?”

Carl Alexander was quite confident about this answer. He looked up at Li Xiao with an expression that I had seen through everything, and he almost said praise me!

Li Xiao shook his head again, and asked back, "Do you think Austria will ask Prussia for help?"

This question stunned Karl Alexander. After thinking for a while, he realized that he was indeed a bit wrong. Austria has never paid attention to Prussia, the little brother. If the Austrians pull down their faces and ask Prussia for help, it would be better for them to decide on their own. Austria can ask Russia for help, but it will never ask Prussia for help. If they do that, it will be tantamount to giving up the leadership of the German Federation. It is impossible for them to do such a stupid thing.

"Then why did Duke Alexander send you to Prussia?" Karl Alexander racked his brains but couldn't figure out why. He said angrily, "I can't have sent you to contact Prussia to deal with Austria!"

When Karl Alexander said this, he was complaining and joking, but Li Xiao's expression quickly told him that this was not a joke!

Karl Alexander was stunned: "You really want to deal with Austria? How is this possible?"

Li Xiao asked calmly, "How is it impossible? What good does an overly powerful Austria do us?"

This question stunned Karl Alexander again. After thinking about it, he had to admit that a strong Austria would not be of much benefit to Prussia. It would be even more impossible for Austria to give up the leadership of the German Confederation when it became stronger. Moreover, in the Balkans On the issue, there is still a conflict of interest with Russia. From this perspective, Austria is still weaker.

"But this is breaking the covenant!" Carl Alexander muttered.

Li Xiao replied slowly: "There is no such thing! Austria has been unable to fulfill its responsibilities and obligations in the alliance due to its own chaos, and these responsibilities and obligations can only be passed on to us and Prussia, and we cannot be allowed to fulfill more Let Austria take advantage of the many obligations!"

Karl Alexander was suddenly speechless. Although he knew that someone's words were completely sophistry, they did have some truth. It’s nothing that Austria occupies the latrine, can’t people say it?

Carl Alexander suddenly asked: "So you are here to contact Prince William to deal with Austria?"

Li Xiao nodded bluntly, which confused Karl Alexander again. He said suspiciously, "This must be a very secret operation, right? Can you tell me so directly?"

Li Xiao said in his heart that if he didn't tell you directly, would you think of it yourself? Who made you and your old mother this trip is very important. If you can't dispel your doubts, it will be difficult to convince William I later. If it wasn't for the sake of your sister and brother-in-law, the ghost would have broken up with you and explained it to pieces!

"It's indeed a secret, but there's no need to keep these secrets from you and aunt. You are all on your own. It will be easier for us to cooperate and communicate in the future if I take the initiative to confess..."
