Make France Great Again

As soon as the new representatives stepped into the German Confederation, they immediately attracted a heated discussion among the representatives of the Frankfurt Confederation. Prince Terne, his eyes seem to be asking Prince Metternich is it really polite to do so!

Facing the questioning gazes of the members of the German Confederation, Prince Metternich simply chose to ignore it, and he introduced the new members to the representatives of the Confederate Congress on his own: "Everyone must have fought with Mr. De Luiz more or less. I won’t go into too much detail here! However, Mr. de Ruiz is now the representative of the Principality of Luxembourg to the German Confederation, so let’s welcome the arrival of the representative of De Ruiz!”

After speaking, Prince Metternich immediately applauded De Ruiz, and the representatives of the German Confederation, including Bismarck, applauded for the arrival of De Ruiz, whether they wanted to or not.

After the thunderous applause continued for a long time, De Ruiz, the representative of the Principality of Luxembourg, said solemnly: "I am honored to be appointed by the Grand Duke of Luxembourg (Jérôme R. Bonaparte) has been entrusted with the important task of serving as the representative of Luxembourg to the German Confederation. I hope that in the next period of time, we can have a principle of friendship and mutual assistance in the German Confederation... The German Confederation will contribute its own strength..."

As soon as De Luiz's voice fell, the German Confederation once again burst into warm applause.

"Representative De Luiz, where is your seat!" Prince Metternich on the podium pointed to the vacant seat on the far left in the second row below the stage.

"Thank you very much!" De Ruiz responded to Prince Metternich in German skillfully, and then walked straight to the seat belonging to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

De Ruiz, who had just sat down, immediately received a cordial greeting from the representative of the Kingdom of Württemberg beside him. He gratefully glanced at Prince Metternich on the rostrum.

Prince Metternich, who had properly settled De Luis, tapped the wooden hammer three times, and then solemnly announced the official start of the German Confederation Parliament.

Subsequently, Prince Metternich asked the representatives of the states to speak on behalf of their states in turn according to the proposals submitted to the Confederacy.

When the proposal came to the Kingdom of Prussia, Prince Metternich raised his voice and said to Bismarck: "Then the King of Prussia has asked them to deny that the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been transferred to another country without the consent of the German Confederation." Proposal for additional explanation!"

As soon as Prince Metternich finished speaking, most of the delegates looked at Bismarck with schadenfreude. They were curious about what the guy who once left arrogant remarks at the Frankfurt Parliament wanted to do.

Facing the malicious gazes of many delegates, Bismarck walked unswervingly to the podium under the rostrum.

Prince Metternich on the rostrum cleared his throat and solemnly said to Bismarck, "Representative Bismarck, you can now express your views!"

"Thank you very much! Mr. Metternich gave me such an opportunity to make a voice belonging to Germany on this sacred stage!" Bismarck first spoke in a calm tone about the glory of the Holy Roman Empire, and then about the establishment of the German Confederation History.

Afterwards, Bismarck told the delegates and onlookers in a passionate tone that the German Confederation is the German people's own institution, and some countries that are not German should not let some non-German countries steal their positions.

"That's all I want to say!" Bismarck bowed to everyone present and left.

After Bismarck returned to his seat, Prince Metternich on the rostrum spoke again and said that since it was the Kingdom of Prussia who questioned the representative of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, it was obviously out of place for only the Kingdom of Prussia to speak, and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg should also come to the stage to speak.

"Representative Luiz, what do you think?" Prince Metternich asked De Luiz.

De Ruiz nodded, then got up and walked to the rostrum to speak.

Compared with Bismarck's deadly grasp of the view that "the German Confederation is the Confederation of the Germans", De Luiz questioned whether the Kingdom of Bohemia was all Germans, and also used the part of the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia in the east that once It is the territory of the Poles, and why is it now a member of the German Confederation, and questioned Bismarck.

"If the representative of Bismarck thinks that neither of these two exceptions shows that your view is wrong, then I would like to ask whether the Duchy of Limburg is a member of the German Confederation! If the Duchy of Limburg is a member of the German Confederation, then whether the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a member of the German Confederation. It can be considered a country that steals Germany's position!" De Luiz asked Bismarck loudly.

The representative of Bismarck had to stand up and argue that the Kingdom of the Netherlands is also Germanic, so they are all Germanic countries in a conventional sense.

De Luis immediately said that Alsace-Lorraine is also a region composed of Germanic people, whether they can join the German Confederation, Venice and the Lombard Kingdom are also countries established by Germanic descendants, should they join the German Confederation.

De Ruiz's successive inquiries made Bismarck somewhat unable to resist.

In all fairness, Bismarck prefers straightforward remarks to nonsense arguments.

Afterwards, De Ruiz told the members of the German Confederation present that whether the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is willing to be ruled by Jerome Bonaparte should follow the opinions of all Luxembourgers.

Some time ago, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg expressed through a referendum that they are willing to accept Jerome Bonaparte as the Grand Duke of Luxembourg.

When the Kingdom of Prussia raised this issue in the German Confederation, it was undoubtedly provoking a war between the German Confederation and the French Empire.

Once the war started, it was the Germans and the French who suffered.

Therefore, De Ruiz himself hoped that the representatives of the German Confederation would consider it carefully, each of their objections represented the approach of war.

De Ruiz's naked threat successfully frightened the North German vassal states and free cities that were originally inclined towards the Kingdom of Prussia.

After De Luis returned to his seat, Prince Metternich tapped the wooden hammer in his hand again and said, "The voting begins now!"

Bavaria, Württemberg, Saxony, Baden, the Duchy of Limburg, Hesse, etc. quickly voted against it, the Kingdom of Prussia and some free cities voted in favor, and the Kingdom of Hanover and the Empire of Austria, one of them was instructed by the Kingdom of Britain. Participated in the struggle between the Kingdom of Prussia and the French Empire, so he abstained from voting. One was the elder brother of the German Confederation, so he could not show too much preference for the French Empire, so he also abstained from voting.

The final result ended with a majority of negative votes. The Kingdom of Prussia tried to use the plan of the German Confederation to challenge the French Empire, and the common reaction of the reactionary forces inside (the second and fifth children of the German Confederation) and outside (Britain and Austria tacitly occupied the fact). Failed to apply.

After the news of the failure of the Frankfurt parliamentary proposal reached the Kingdom of Prussia, William I, the regent, deeply realized what it means to be a weak country without diplomacy.

Under the persuasion of Mandolph and Ron, William I had to change the five armies stationed in the Rhineland to the previous three, and the first category of reserves also stopped mobilizing.

And France also lifted the mobilization state after seeing the Prussian kingdom gradually reducing the Rhineland's troops.

Except for one army stationed in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the rest of the troops were all stationed at the regimental level and dispersed.

A tense military confrontation ended with the retreat of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Immediately afterwards, Paris also announced the lifting of the wartime martial law.

That night, fireworks were endless in the sky over Paris, and people took to the streets to celebrate the victory of the French Empire once again.

And this victory is more exciting than the previous ones. The annexation of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg makes people more believe that the empire will be victorious under the leadership of Jerome Bonaparte.

And the Sardinian ambassador, who lives in Paris, also found that Parisians were somewhat enthusiastic about annexing territories.

(From the operation of France and Britain in the colonies, it can be seen that they would rather lose money and insist on appointing French people as colonial officials. France does not see the colony as a one-vote-and-go business, but really wants to turn it into a colony. French territory.

It can be said that the French people's enthusiasm for annexing territories is no less than that of Seris, but later due to policy issues, France had to withdraw from Vietnam and Algeria in tears.

If France has a unique geographical advantage like Serris, there is no doubt that they will also do something similar to the Miao Tuoye.

It is a pity that it was already in the 19th century that France created a centralization of power. It is actually a very difficult thing to annex land during the prosperous period of nationalism. )

Therefore, the Sardinian ambassador suggested to Cavour that the best way to win the favor of France and let France help them expel Austrian rule in northern Italy is to give them land.

He (Sardinian ambassador) heard that the French Empire is now very popular in the French Empire, the natural territory of the Prime Minister of Richelieu (Jérôme Bonaparte contributed to the fire), so Savoy and Nice can be used as bait to lure France into Austrian Empire shot.

If two pieces of land can be exchanged for the unification of the entire Apennine peninsula, then he (the Sardinian ambassador) thinks this is a sure-fire deal.

Cavour, who received the telegram from the Sardinian ambassador, was deeply relieved. He never thought that anyone would agree with him.

So he sent another telegram to the Sardinian ambassador.

In the telegram, Cavour applauded the Sardinian ambassador's strategy, and revealed to the Sardinian ambassador that he was moving towards this goal, hoping that the two of them would work together to create an Italian kingdom in their lifetime.
