The autumn wind rolled up the yellow leaves and brought the joy of harvest. The European War, which lasted for more than a year, is over, and now is the time to reap the fruits of victory.
The Vienna Grand Hotel, which used to be unattainable, is now overcrowded. The soaring source of customers has made Drost a headache as a lobby manager.
Working in the most luxurious hotel in the world, I have to meet big people from all walks of life every day. Drost is also used to seeing big winds and waves.
The Vienna Hotel is not unavailable when it is full. In the past, any major events and celebrations will be full.
Anyway, the hotel has its own rules, whoever makes a reservation first, no one dares to make trouble here.
This time is different. Since the news of a peace meeting in Vienna came out, the number of bookings has been blown up.
According to incomplete statistics, the people who have been determined to live in include seven kings, hundreds of nobles, and dozens of dignitaries from various countries.
There is no doubt that there can be only one person participating in the peace meeting, and these big figures are all with the delegation. Choosing to stay at the Vienna Hotel is naturally because of face.
Regardless of the fact that the room rates of the Vienna Hotel seem to be unattainable, they are actually aimed at ordinary local tyrants. The big people stay at the same price.
This is also mutual benefit. The sky-high room rate and high-end service bring out everyone's distinguished status. Anyway, as long as you don't say it, no one knows that the discount will be discounted; the stay of the great nobles has improved the hotel's class.
It is always free for top nobles like kings and grand princes to stay. Fortunately these years, the nobles are more face-saving, and if they are left in later generations, there may be a bunch of exiled monarchs coming over to eat and drink.
The big people get together and the problem arises. Nobles are also humans, and there are also conflicts with each other, and conflicts are inevitable.
That's all, the nobles also have to face, unless they drink too much, they can still maintain their cultivation under normal circumstances. If there is a conflict, it is not a hotel manager who can intervene.
Looking at the ranking list, Drost was almost bald with anxiety. There is no way, there are not enough rooms with matching identities!
The big shots also want face, and if their status and treatment do not match, they will turn their faces in minutes.
Headaches belong to headaches, and work is still needed. If you can't handle such little things, the manager Drost will end up.
...
At the Vienna Royal Opera, the nations of the Anti-French Alliance gathered together and started a closed-door meeting. If nothing goes wrong, the spoils-sharing meeting will end before the arrival of delegations.
As for the next Vienna Peace Conference, it is only a procedure to implement the content of the spoils conference.
”Your Excellency, the European War has just ended, is it wrong to put all the French warships for auction?”
Spanish Foreign Minister Behdade Salimi questioned. There is no way, who made the European War end? The war belonging to Spain is not over yet!
As a veteran power, even though it has fallen, the Spanish arrogance still exists. It doesn't matter if you are a little wronged in the European continent, it is because of your own strength. But the Japanese also came to do things, it would be unbearable.
In the past few months, the Philippine fleet has been almost annihilated, and even the Philippine Islands have been lost seven or eighty-eight, but the Spanish government still has not yielded.
What gives them confidence is the anti-French alliance. In accordance with the prior agreement, Austria gave a promise: After the victory of the European War, Spain will obtain part of the French fleet.
The warship that was said to have suddenly turned into an auction, and Behdad Salimi was naturally unacceptable. You know, the Spanish government is still waiting for the warship to teach the Japanese!
Weissenberg smiled and immediately promised: ”Your Excellency, please rest assured that the Austrian promises in advance are still valid. There is no way to auction off the French warships.
Everyone knows how large the French navy is. In the just-concluded European War, Austria paid too high a price, and there was no plan to expand the navy in a short time.
We do not participate in the distribution, all are divided by everyone, I am afraid that the financial pressure on countries will be very heavy.
Moreover, the essence of the French Navy is only the hundred iron-clad ships, and the remaining auxiliary warships can only be considered tasteless. If there is no bundling, there will be no buyers at all.
If you want to get a part of the warship, just take it directly from the auction. Don't worry too much about the price, we can operate in the dark.
Of course, if someone is offering sky-high prices, there is no need to grab them. If the auction fails, we will sell you a batch of active warships at a low price afterwards. ”
Weissenberg did not keep it secret, and Austria is indeed not interested in French warships. As for the news, whether the British believe it or not, no one will know.
This is just a small problem. The British can earn money if they are scammed. It is impossible to deal with the sale, and it is a big deal to accept the French warship.
