Rebirth of England.

Chapter 620 Dog Blood
"Don't you want to ask me about what happened just now? Honey..."

While having dinner together, Beatrice said to Barron with some hesitation.

"You mean that handsome guy I just met? If you want to tell me, you will, baby, and I believe you."

"Thank you, dear. Pierre and I met at school. He has always pursued me, but I..."

Beatrice looked at Barron lovingly and said:
"You are the only one in my heart, so..."

Barron knew that in the original time and space, Beatrice fell in love with Pierre, the Prince of Monaco, when they were in school, and later married into the Monaco royal family.

It's just that now Barron and Beatrice knew each other earlier, so there is no relationship between them anymore.

Speaking of Monaco, it is also very interesting.

First of all, Monaco was originally a principality belonging to France - the Principality of Monaco.

During World War II, in June 1940, France surrendered to Nazi Germany.

In the same month, Italy sent troops to occupy Monaco, a French vassal state.

At that time, Hitler was very dissatisfied with Italy's invasion of Monaco. He immediately notified Italy, demanding that the other side must immediately withdraw its troops from Monaco and restore Monaco's neutral status. Nazi Germany needed to conduct trade through Switzerland and Monaco, two "neutral countries".

The Principality of Monaco at the time was ruled by Prince Louis II, who was captured by Italy after the Italian occupation of Monaco.

Just when Prince Louis II thought that the Monaco royal family was about to perish, a turning point soon came.

A few days later, he was politely escorted back to the Monaco Palace by the Italian army.

Then, Louis II watched helplessly as the Italian soldiers, who had been looting everywhere a few days ago, trotted out of Monaco.

If you look out through a telescope at this time, you can see the Italian army gathering outside the territory of Monaco.

This is definitely the country that recovered the fastest in human history. The Poles, who were destroyed again, must be envious of this scene...

But this was not the end. In November 1942, after the Allied forces landed in North Africa, Italy once again sent troops to occupy Monaco on the pretext of protecting its expatriates.

This time, Hitler did not ask Mussolini to withdraw his troops, because as the Soviet-German War continued, Nazi Germany suffered heavy losses and Hitler had no time to care about the safety of Monaco.

After Mussolini was overthrown in 1943, Nazi Germany took over control of Monaco.

At this point, Monaco officially lost its status as a neutral country and became the front line of Nazi defense.

In August 1944, the Allied forces landed in southern France, and the German troops, who were unable to take care of themselves, began to withdraw from Monaco.

On September 9, two American soldiers arrived in Monaco and announced in a restaurant that the Allied forces officially occupied Monaco - September 3 also became the Liberation Day of Monaco.

After the Allied forces liberated Monaco, Prince Louis II was restored to the throne, and Monaco returned to its original path and continued to develop the tertiary industry.

Monaco has now become a world-famous gambling destination and the country with the most developed entertainment industry in the world. Relying on the gambling and entertainment industries, Monaco has become one of the countries with the highest per capita income in the world, and its residents' happiness also ranks among the highest in the world.

If nothing unexpected happens, Monaco should continue to be so happy - until France raises the white chess piece next time.

Back to Beatrice, the Pierre they met today, who is called the "Prince" of Monaco, is actually not the child of the current Prince Albert II of Monaco, but the son of Albert II's sister Princess Caroline. He also has an older brother, Prince Andre, who is known as the "most handsome prince".

Their grandmother is very famous, she is the famous Hollywood actress Grace Kelly.

"It has to be admitted that the Monaco royal family is very good at promoting themselves, which is why they have been able to achieve success in the gaming and tourism industries."

At the swimming pool on the top floor of the Grand Hotel de Paris, Barron and Beatrice were tasting fine wine and looking at the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea in the distance. He said nonchalantly:

"Just like when King Rainier III chose to marry Grace Kelly..."

"This incident is very famous, but the Hollywood actress didn't end up living a happy life, did she?"

Hearing Beatrice's words, Barron nodded and said with a smile:

"This was a deal in itself. Rainier III wanted to make Monaco known to the whole world so as to develop the gaming and tourism industries, while Grace Kelly wanted the title of 'Princess'. The two of them just hit it off."

Before marrying Rainier III, Grace Kelly, as a well-known Hollywood actress, had an Oscar-winning performance and had dated Kennedy several times.

However, the Kennedy family did not like Grace Kelly and prevented her from marrying into the Kennedy family. In the end, she made another choice - marrying the prince and becoming a princess.

Anyway, the stories about the Monaco royal family are indeed full of dog-blood stories - their prince is very happy to marry extremely famous actresses, but at the same time he is very fickle.

Especially the story between Prince Albert and Princess Charlene now - Prince Albert is not only fickle, but also has very...rich tastes. Among his many illegitimate sons and daughters, well, there are also black people.

I won’t post the photo, it’s a bit eye-catching…

Princess Charlene tried to escape from the Monaco royal family three times, but was caught back in various ways each time - threatening her children. In the end, she may have accepted her fate. I wonder if she will escape for the fourth time...

In this sense, it was fortunate that Beatrice was able to avoid marrying into such a family.

After what happened before, although Barron didn't care - he was not worried at all about what the Monaco royal family would do to him, not to mention that Prince Pierre was not a core member of the royal family.

But this still more or less affected Beatrice's mood for traveling. In this case, Barron took her away from Monaco and went to the next destination - Germany in advance.

When he comes to Germany, in addition to preparing to go to the A&R shipyard to take over the super yacht "Devonshire Poseidon" which is about to be completed, Barron will also meet with some German bigwigs.

"Hello, Mr. Oberman, I believe this will be a constructive meeting."

"I hope so, Your Highness. It's an honor to meet you."

This time, Barron met with Deutsche Telekom CEO Leni Obermann at the Deutsche Telekom headquarters in Bonn.

This is not Barron's first stop in Germany.

"I also discussed this acquisition with Ms. Merkel before. I believe this acquisition will be beneficial to both of us, especially in the current market environment."

The acquisition that Barron's talked about is that O2 Telecom has once again formed a consortium with Caesar Fund to acquire T-Mobile USA, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.
