Chapter 40 The Prince is an old man

Rambo had already left with Triangle Eye and was recognized by Tang. He was equivalent to getting the imperial envoy of Shangfang's sword in the Mafia. At the same time, with the assistance of Triangle Eye, the genuine mafia, he could mobilize every bit of the power of the Mafia, a huge monster, for use by Rambo.

Don Ofaluci was lying on the rocking chair, still recalling Rambo's answer just now: "Because the Italian nobles only represent him and they themselves, you can represent the people of the whole of Italy."

This sentence may be Rambo's flattery at Ofaluci, but it also illustrates the status of the Italian mafia from a certain level. In this strange country, there is a conflict between the people. At the first time, it is not to go to the judges and the government, but to ask the boss of the mafia to help mediate.

Many members of the Mafia come from the people. Even Don Ofaluci, now the current Don was just a farmer in the village near Messina.

The relationship between the mafia and the people here is like a vine lingering around a big tree. Without the support and protection of ordinary people around you, this huge organization will become extremely weak and may even die out directly.

Faced with the disaster, the nobles may run away collectively, but these mafia will never abandon the people and escape. If they abandon the people, they are equivalent to abandoning themselves.

It is precisely because of these that Rambo first found this organization instead of connecting with the Italian nobles who controlled it. Of course, he would also find ways to obtain the support of the kingdom and obtain their help. In the face of such dangers, he should have concentrated his efforts to deal with it.

These two forces were incompatible. Rambo had no confidence in coordinating the relationship between them and using them for his own use. However, things finally had a good start. After leaving Don Ofaroci, Rambo wrote what he had done in a letter and sent it to the Vienna court.

In this era of poor communication, information transmission is based on days and weeks as the time unit, so Eugen had no way to give Rambo timely and effectively. What to do next and what to do, it depends on Rambo himself.

......

Citizens living in Vienna found that something important seemed to be happening in the palaces of the two Japanese emperors.

Viana's inn suddenly became crowded, with various luxurious carriages coming and going on the streets, and the carriage's silk cloth was embroidered with aristocratic family emblems of various forms.

Many nobles were rushing to Vienna from all directions for some reason. Some well-informed citizens were already discussing this matter in taverns, streets and other places.

"There is a rural noble from the Kassel region who is going to be knighted by the king."

This news is spreading rapidly in the city. The award of titles is a grand event and a proof of the prosperity of the empire. Moreover, on such a major day, the king will give some gifts to the people in the city in some way. Sometimes it is a daily necessity such as firewood and rice, and sometimes it is directly given money.

Therefore, the residents of Vienna were also particularly excited and were looking forward to the arrival of that day.

At night, Eugen finally left the house where he lived under the guidance of the butler West.

In the afternoon, Eugen was in the house under the guidance of two maids. Those boring and cumbersome rules almost drove Eugen crazy, so when West came to find him, he was like a prisoner who saw his companions robbing the prison. He was so happy that he was not to mention how happy he was when he saw his companions robbing the prisoners.

In fact, the etiquette Eugen learned today is only a very small part of it, and it will be used in the ceremony of enfeoffment tomorrow. If he really wanted to learn all the court etiquette thoroughly, he would probably have to work hard to study for several years to achieve it.

Walking on the corridor on the marble floor, Eugen was brisk in his legs and feet, his steps were vigorous, and he was quite excited. Prince Eugen, both at that time and in later generations, was a famous figure, a small group of people located at the top of the pyramid of power.

Eugen said that it was impossible not to be nervous and excited to see such a person.

Eugen had a vague premonition that this conversation had a crucial impact. The good or bad results of the conversation may directly change the direction of his future life. For this reason, Eugen had to be extra cautious.

Housekeeper West seemed to see Eugen's nervousness. He turned his head and smiled with Eugen, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't be nervous, Prince Eugen is even very kind to others. Moreover, he has praised your victory on many occasions."

After hearing the butler's words, Eugen suddenly felt relieved. Thinking about it, he was a hero who won a victory, and Prince Eugen should not have a very bad attitude towards him.

Soon, Eugen followed the butler West to the door of a room on the uppermost floor of the palace. This room is where Prince Eugen rests. Arrange the meeting place here instead of the reception room below, which can also indirectly illustrate the prince's appreciation of him.

When he arrived at the door, Butler West looked back at Eugen with a look of inquisitiveness on his face. Eugen stood up and tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, and nodded at Butler West.

Housekeeper West raised his hand and knocked on the thick and wide red painted wooden door in front of him.

"Master, Mr. Eugen comes to visit."

"Ahem, come in." An old and thick voice came from the room, mixed with some slight coughing.

After receiving the order, Housekeeper West opened the door and bent down to make a gesture of inviting him to enter.

Eugen vaguely felt something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think too much. He turned sideways to greet the butler, and then walked into the room calmly.

Behind him, Butler West did not follow in, but closed the door and turned around and left.

Obviously, the content of the conversation that was resolved needs to be kept confidential to a certain extent.

Eugen entered the room and before he could even look at the surrounding environment, he heard an old voice coming from the room: "Ahem, little guy, come inside."

At this time, he finally realized that the problem was, which was Prince Eugen's voice. The prince's voice was too old and weak. In Eugen's impression, the prince was a brave and powerful general, but the current voice could not hear this at all.

Suddenly, Eugen remembered that it was 1734, and although he couldn't remember the specific birth and death year of the prince, he knew that it was around this time.
