Chapter 690 A Head-On Blow

After dancing the first three songs, Friedrich I had completely forgotten the purpose of coming to the Governor's Palace and was completely immersed in the gentle land of music and dance. If he could, he would dance like this forever.

But this must be just an unrealistic dream. Just when he was in high spirits, the waiter came to him: "His Royal Highness, the Governor, please go to his study."

Friedrich I wanted to drive away the waiter directly so that this annoying fly would not disturb his happy time. The words were already on his lips, but he finally held back.

"Baby, I'll come as soon as I go, very soon!"

Julianne actually didn't care. She had no love for Frederick I. For her, Frederick I was just a ladder for her to climb up or the key to open the vault.

She even wished that Frederick I would leave so that she could hook up with other noble people. After all, the meal ticket of Friedrich I will expire soon. Find a new meal ticket and renew it quickly to ensure that you don't go hungry!

"Okay, honey, don't worry, I'll be waiting for you!"

After receiving his lover's assurance, Frederick I reluctantly followed the attendant. Soon he was taken into Alexei's study. When the two heavy oak doors slowly closed, this claustrophobic space Only Friedrich I, Alexey and Vishniak were left.

"His Royal Highness, I heard that you want to see me?" Alexei asked pleasantly.

Friedrich I frowned. He didn't like the tone of Alexei's words, because it sounded like he was begging the other person.

Always arrogant, he replied very unhappily: "Count, I have received some very bad news recently. The Union Bank of Prussia has been greatly disrupted in its normal business operations in Wallachia. You are Is this how you maintain the cooperative relationship between the two parties?"

When questioned, Alexey replied calmly: "Are you making accusations?"

Friedrich I was stunned, because Alexei's attitude was completely beyond his expectation. Originally, he thought that Alexei would be defeated. In order to maintain the relationship between Russia and Prussia, Alexei would definitely give in. .

But now it seems that the other party is not at all like that, with a tone of indifference, and even a vague intention of rebelling against the general.

Friedrich I glanced at Alexei intently and said in a deep voice: "Of course I am accusing some people on your side of destroying the good cooperative relationship between us and seriously damaging the interests of the Union Bank of Prussia. This behavior is unacceptable. tolerate!"

In fact, what Friedrich I said was nothing new. It was almost an aggravated version of the previous sentence. In addition to appearing more scary, it was simply a change of the soup without changing the medicine.

Naturally, this trick was of no use to Alexei. He smiled softly and said: "Really? Since it is an accusation, then Your Majesty the Crown Prince, I hope you have evidence, because false accusations and slander are serious crimes and will not be tolerated here. of!"

Friedrich I was stunned, because Alexei kicked the ball back with a very unkind tone, almost saying: "What are you beeping about? I really thought I was scared. If you keep beeping blindly, believe it or not." I will beat you to death!"

This kind of treatment was unprecedented. It took a while for Frederick I to come to his senses. The young crown prince was furious and felt that he had been humiliated.

He raised his voice and shouted: "Are you threatening me?"

Alexei chuckled unmoved and said: "No, this is not a threat. If this is considered a threat, then you underestimate us Russia. This is just a warning, telling you to be careful what you say. , don’t be unscrupulous and don’t speak openly, otherwise the price will be very serious!”

Friedrich I was so angry that he subconsciously said: "Warn me?! I repeat, are you serious?"

Alexei was not angry, and replied calmly: "If you don't understand, then I will repeat it again, Your Royal Highness, please be careful what you say, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, so serious that you simply cannot bear it. Do you understand now?"

Friedrich I was stunned, because Hong Guoguo's unabashed threatening way of speaking was unprecedented. It was equivalent to the other party directly admitting everything and in turn threatening him to be careful.

When had he ever experienced this kind of birdiness, he was about to get angry, but before he could speak, Alexei turned directly to Vishnyak next to him and said: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very angry, but he is not angry at all." Recognize the situation, my friend, this shows that your previous work is not adequate! Check the Union Bank of Prussia carefully and implement the reports of tax evasion and smuggling that you have received, Vala Guia is a country governed by the rule of law and will never allow some people to act recklessly under the guise of friendship!"

Vishniak immediately bowed and agreed: "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Friedrich I was immediately stunned. He stared at Alexei with two big eyes in confusion and was speechless. Because the meaning of the above words is too clear, he was told clearly: Those so-called trump cards that you rely on are of no use to us. To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of jokes.

At this time, Frederick I was a little panicked. His task was to safeguard Prussia's vested interests in Wallachia and try to develop more interests without offending the Russians.

Once Alexey investigates the Union Bank of Prussia, those interests will naturally disappear and cease to exist. How will he explain this to his future father-in-law?

If something really happens, he will definitely be replaced immediately, and it may even affect his marriage to Princess Louise. Of course, he will not sit back and watch this happen.

But, you asked him to bow his head and submit, but he couldn't swallow that breath. After thinking about it, he decided that he could only play the Prussian card and let the Prussians teach the arrogant Russians a lesson.

"If you have this attitude, then we have nothing to say," Frederick I said proudly, "I will convey your words to Prussia. I hope you will never regret it then!"

Friedrich I thought that Alexei could be fed and accommodated by this, but who would have thought that Alexei just folded his arms in front of his chest and replied nonchalantly: "Please do it!"

Immediately, Emperor Friedrich I was stunned. He was in a difficult situation now. He really couldn't explain to his future father-in-law if he left. The attitude of the Russians really made him so angry that he couldn't bear to swallow it. Take such a breath!
