Chapter 17 Reasonable and Unexpected.

"25 to 10, how is this possible!"

Time goes back a quarter of an hour.

The beautiful dancer Adjani wore a red and white off-shoulder dance dress and placed the ballot box on her chest.

The ups and downs of the votes made the representatives who were preparing to vote feel emotional, and they didn't know where to put the ballots.

Adjani's steps were so graceful that the Bavarian representatives shouted that this woman could not be allowed to enter Bavaria, otherwise their king would cause a new scandal.

What they didn't know was that the French beauty in front of them was actually the leader of the current Polish Restoration Army. She was the wife of the former commander of the Polish Free Army, Bolkinie Agata, and the mother of a four-year-old girl.

In 1830, the Polish uprising failed, and a large number of Polish soldiers were massacred and exiled. This also included Mrs. Agata's husband. After her husband left, she decided to continue her husband's career and became the leader of the Polish Restoration Army.

However, under the bloody suppression of Russia, the soldiers of the Polish Restoration Army were slaughtered and their industries were lost.

In order to support thousands of members of the Polish Restoration Army scattered across Europe and to continue the cause of the Polish Restoration Army, Mrs. Agata organized a large number of widows of the Restoration Army to go abroad to earn extra money and attract sponsorship.

Adjani is just one of her aliases, but because of her outstanding talent, she soon received extra attention. Invitations came like snowflakes, but most people just wanted to spend a good night with her.

Adjani hated these men very much, but had to wander among them.

Today she was invited by the local archbishop, and the righteous bishop actually asked her to perform an entertainment show in the evening.

However, Adjani decisively refused, because today someone actually gave her 2,000 florins to stop performing, and then gave her 1,000 florins to collect votes.

It's too easy to make money like this, why bother yourself? She couldn't understand those sisters who sold their bodies. After all, Adjani could make more money in one day than those poor women could make in a year.

Another purpose of her coming to Frankfurt today was to seek allies to support their cause. After all, the Polish Federation no longer exists, and it takes more than money to restore the country.

But when she heard that some representatives said that the Poles were dirty, she felt angry and wronged.

She thought of her husband, her daughter who was fostered in a friend's house, and those friends who were slaughtered by the Russians.

Adjani's tears rolled in her eyes, but it aroused the man's desire to protect.

Soon all 35 representatives voted, and the Baden representative was carried to the hospital and regarded as abstention.

This was also the arrangement of Frederick Ansilon. Although according to his estimate, Prussia will have at least 20 votes, it is not bad to kill an opponent who does not support him.

The ballot box was opened in public, and the Archbishop of Frankfurt unfolded the first ballot.

"Against!"

Adjani took the ballot with a smile, raised her hands above her head, and repeated with a smile.

"One vote against."

"Three votes against."

Three votes in a row, all for Prussia, which made Frederick Ansilon sneer, looking at Ankert who was drinking alone with ill intentions, thinking.

"After expelling the Austrians, I will deal with you Saxony next. I want you to return the humiliation today tenfold."

Ankert felt Frederick Ansilon's gaze, looked at each other, and then smiled.

"Austria."

"One vote for Austria, three votes against."

Frederick Ansilon didn't care, he also asked the waiter for a glass of wine.

"Austria."

"Austria."

"Against."

"Three votes in favor of Austria joining the German Customs Union, four votes against."

After that, the votes of both sides rose alternately, which made Frederick Ansilon a little irritated. At this time, he remembered Ankert's smile again, and that guy seemed to want to say something.

"Austria."

"Austria."

"Austria."

The number of votes in favor of Austria joining the German Customs Union has reached 15 votes, and there are only seven votes against. This made Frederick Ansilon feel a little dry in his throat, so he drank the whole thing in the cup in one gulp.

"Austria."

This was the sixteenth vote, and Frederick Ansilon was choked. The red wine was vomited all over the Brunswick representative. The man was about to stand up to protest, but when he saw that it was Frederick Ansilon who sat down again, he had to take out his handkerchief to wipe the wine stains.

"Damn it, someone betrayed us." Frederick Ansilon cursed in his heart, and was glad that he had just excluded a representative who supported the Austrians.

"Austria!"

"Austria voted for seventeen, and seven votes against."

With just one more vote, Austria would be allowed to join the German Customs Union, and Frederick Ansilon's job would be ruined. At this time, his palms were full of sweat.

The Bishop of Frankfurt picked up a ballot, slowly unfolded it, hesitated for a while, and announced loudly.

"Austria!"

"Austria voted for eighteen, and seven votes against."

Frederick Ansilon stared at the Archbishop of Frankfurt angrily, wanting to get an answer from him.

But the Archbishop of Frankfurt just shrugged. He did support the Prussian side and voted against it. He didn't know why it became like this.

But he knew that the Prussians were no longer the only one in power. Now that the Austrians were coming, he had to think about the future, so he had to act happy.

"Austria!"

The counting of votes continued, but Frederick Ansilon had collapsed on his chair.

Ankert turned to Frederick Ansilon again and said word by word.

"Congratulations, you have the right hand."

Then he raised his glass, gestured to Frederick Ansilon and drank it all.

At this time, the Archbishop of Frankfurt also officially announced.

"The German Customs Union, with 25 votes in favor, 10 votes against, and 1 abstention, passed Austria's application to join the German Customs Union. We will welcome the 37th member of the German Customs Union! Germany will usher in a better future!"

Facing the results in front of him, Frederick Ansilon knew that his political career was over.

Frederick Ansilon knew that the Austrians must have bribed Prussia's allies, but this time the vote was secret, and he had no idea who betrayed Prussia.

He still had 47,000 thalers that he had not spent. If he returned to Berlin like this, then William III and Finance Minister Merz would definitely not let him go.

So, he came up with a solution.

Frederick Ansilon asked Ajani to wait for him in his room, and he spent 5,000 thalers for this, but he didn't care anymore. Now he just wanted to spend all the money.

In addition to the 8,000 thalers that he had already spent, the remaining 42,000 thalers were exchanged for jewelry and land deeds and put in a suitcase.

Frederick Ansilon's throat was very tight on the way, and he was impatient to untie his belt as soon as he entered the door.

But a dagger passed in front of him and pressed against his neck.

"Put on your pants, where are your money?"

Frederick Ansilon quickly tied his belt and said.

"Thief woman, I am an envoy of Prussia, how dare you rob me?"

Frederick Ansilon said while looking for an opportunity.

But what made him desperate was that another woman walked out of the room with a pistol on her waist.

Adjani walked towards Frederick Ansilon with an elegant step, which made Frederick Ansilon a little at a loss.

At this moment, Adjani snatched the suitcase in Frederick Ansilon's hand, opened it directly with a dagger, and saw the shining jewels inside.

"This is the property of the King of Prussia," Frederick Ansilon threatened.

Adjani tied one of the gem necklaces around her neck and said with a smile.

"Not now."

"Who are you?"

"Polish Restoration Army." Adjani replied, and then nodded to the woman behind Frederick Ansilon.

Before Frederick Ansilon could continue speaking, the woman picked up a vase and smashed it hard on the back of his head.

Looking at Frederick Ansilon lying on the ground and the broken vase, Adjani was a little helpless.

"Caroline, I've told you several times not to use the vase. It's hard to clean up."

"What can I do? I've already smashed it."

"Carry him inside and make it look like he's hanging. I'll leave tonight. You go and tell the other sisters to leave quickly." After that, Ajani threw a ring inlaid with gemstones to Caroline.

The Prussian ambassador of the Vienna News committed suicide in the hotel out of fear of crime.
