Chapter 620: Bloody

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

During dinner, Beatrice said to Barron with some hesitation.

"Are you talking about the handsome guy you met just now? If you want to tell me, I will, baby, and I believe you."

"Thank you, honey, I met Pierre in school, but he has been pursuing me, but I..."

Beatrice looked at Barron affectionately 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 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 of 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.

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

The Principality of Monaco at that time was ruled by Prince Louis II. After Italy occupied Monaco, Prince Louis II was captured by Italy.

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 sent back to the Monaco Palace by the Italian army.

Then, Louis II watched the Italian soldiers who were still looting a few days ago trotting out of Monaco.

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

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

But it was not over yet. In November 1942, after the Allied forces landed in North Africa, Italy once again sent troops to occupy Monaco on the grounds of protecting expatriates.

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

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

So far, Monaco officially lost its status as a neutral country and became the forefront of Nazi defense.

In August 1944, the Allied forces landed in southern France, and the German army, which was unable to take care of itself, began to withdraw from Monaco one after another.

On September 3, two American soldiers arrived in Monaco. They 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 again, and Monaco returned to its original path and continued to cultivate the tertiary industry.

Monaco has now become a world-famous gambling resort and the country with the most developed entertainment industry in the world. Relying on gambling and entertainment industries, Monaco has become one of the countries with the highest per capita income in the world, and the happiness of residents is also among the best 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, Pierre, whom they met today, is called the "Prince" of Monaco. In fact, he is not the child of the current Prince Albert II of Monaco, but the son of Albert II's sister Princess Caroline.

He also has a brother, Prince Andre, who is known as the "most handsome prince".

Their grandmother is very well-known, the famous Hollywood actress Grace Kelly.

"I have to admit that the royal family of Monaco is very good at promoting themselves, which is why they can succeed in the gaming and tourism industries."

By 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 in the Mediterranean Sea in the distance. He said nonchalantly:

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

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

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

"This is a deal in itself. Rainier III needs to let the whole world know about Monaco, so as to develop the gaming and tourism industries, and Grace Kelly wants the title of 'Princess'. The two hit it off."

Before marrying Rainier III, Grace Kelly, as a well-known Hollywood actress, had several dates with Kennedy with an Oscar in her hand.

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

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

Especially the story between Prince Albert and Princess Charlene - 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 photos, 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 - threatened with her children. In the end, she may have accepted her fate. I wonder if she will escape for the fourth time...

In this way, it is fortunate that Beatrice can avoid marrying into such a family.

After the previous incident, although Barron did not care - he was not worried 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 affected Beatrice's mood for playing to some extent. In this case, Barron took her away from Monaco and went to the next destination - Germany in advance.

In Germany, in addition to preparing to go to the A\u0026R shipyard to hand over the super yacht "Devonshire Poseidon" which was about to be completed, Barron would also meet with some German bigwigs.

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

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

The person who met Barron this time was Deutsche Telekom CEO Leni Obermann at the Deutsche Telekom headquarters in Bonn.

This was not Barron's first stop in Germany.

"When I met with Ms. Merkel before, I also talked about this acquisition. I believe this acquisition is beneficial to both of us, especially in the current market environment."

The acquisition that Barron talked about was the consortium formed by O2 Telecom and Caesar Fund again, which was preparing to acquire T-Mobile USA, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.
