Make France Great Again

After Count Bauer finished speaking, the entire room fell into silence. After a while, Jerome Bonaparte, who had reacted, immediately spoke.

"The Grand Duke of Krakow-Galicia? Franz Joseph is preparing to reunite Poland, which was occupied by the Austrian Empire, and the Grand Duchy of Poland!"

"That's right!" Earl Bower nodded and said, "Our Emperor hopes to have your support!"

"Support! Of course I support it!" Jerome Bonaparte replied with a smile.

"The Prussian side..." Count Bauer, who received an accurate answer from Jerome Bonaparte, asked tentatively.

"Don't worry!" Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly assured Count Bauer: "It's not only me who will support you in this matter, but Palmerston and the others will also support your decision!"

"Your Majesty, thank you for what you have done for the Austrian Empire!" Count Bauer sincerely thanked, "I can assure you that the Austrian Empire will be your most loyal partner!"

"Mr. Bauer, I'm relieved with your words!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded reservedly, and then continued: "The French Empire and the Austrian Empire are a pair of natural allies! Because our two countries are a pair of natural allies! On many issues, there is a common goal!

For example, the Russian issue, the German issue, and the Apennine issue... If our two countries are hostile to each other, it will only benefit the third party.

However, our French Empire can still be in an isolated environment, your country may not be sure! "

Jerome Bonaparte's "beating" speech made Count Bauer feel a little depressed.

However, he still admitted in his heart what Jerome Bonaparte said, the current Austrian Empire really does not have many retreats.

Offending Prussia and Russia, if they don't hold on to France, Austria will probably become a European outcast like the Russian Empire.

"You're right! France and Austria should support and help each other!" Count Bauer nodded in agreement: "No one or any organization can dismantle our union!"

Jerome Bonaparte clapped his hands and said, "Monsieur Bauer, you are absolutely right!"

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte asked Count Bauer when the Grand Duke Maximilian would arrive, so that he could receive the future King of Poland ceremoniously.

The Count of Bauer told Jerome Bonaparte that he had received a telegram from Austria, and that Grand Duke Maximilian would accompany Pope Pius IX to Paris.

"Then I'll wait and see!" Jerome Bonaparte replied with a smile.

After the brief but significant diplomatic talks ended, Jerome Bonaparte, Wallevsky and the Count of Bauer began to enjoy the afternoon tea time quietly.

An hour later, when the afternoon tea was over, Count Bauer told Jerome Bonaparte and Wallevsky that he must do it.

"I'll give you one!" said Jerome Bonaparte politely.

"No need, Your Majesty! I can go back to the embassy myself!" Count Bauer kindly replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Okay then!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and watched Count Bauer leave the office.

After Count Bauer left, Jerome Bonaparte said to Wallevsky: "Let's start the next round!"

Wallevsky hurriedly invited Jerome Bonaparte to sit down, and then sat opposite him with a serious face.

"That's right! My cousin, Queen Caterina of the Netherlands..." Jerome Bonaparte told Wallevsky about the division of the Belgian kingdom in a homely tone, "Do you think this Is it good or bad for the French Empire?"

Wallevsky lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head again and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, the area promised by Her Royal Highness Queen Caterina is the province of Luxembourg in the Kingdom of Belgium, right!"

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte replied affirmatively: "My cousin means that after the Kingdom of the Netherlands occupied the Kingdom of Belgium, they will immediately hand over the province of Luxembourg to us!"

"Your Majesty!" Wallevsky clenched his fists and said to Jerome Bonaparte with determination: "I don't think we should agree to Her Majesty Queen Caterina's request!"

Jerome Bonaparte's face showed a slight astonishment. He originally thought that Wallevsky would be inclined to support the Netherlands' return to Belgium, "Why?"

"Your Majesty, my point of view is based on three points!" Wallevsky analyzed in an orderly manner: "The first is that more than 20 years have passed since Belgium became independent, and 20 years have already passed. Enough for the growth of a generation!

The previous generation may not have had the idea of ​​the Kingdom of Belgium, but this generation has shaped it.

If the Kingdom of the Netherlands wants to return to the Kingdom of Belgium, I am afraid that it will not only defeat the army of the Kingdom of Belgium, but also gain the support of this generation, which is too difficult for the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Speaking of this, Wallevsky paused, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "The second point is that the older generation of the Kingdom of Belgium still has the memory of the violent expropriation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

If the Netherlands really wants to attack, those old people will probably become their hindrance too.

The third and most important point..."

Wallevsky asked Jerome Bonaparte with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, what is the purpose of your Crimean War?"

"The purpose of destroying the Russian Empire is of course to tear down the shackles of the Holy Alliance that restrict us!" Jerome Bonaparte responded without hesitation, "I haven't told you this many times!"

"Then, Your Majesty, have we torn them up!" Wallevsky then asked.

After thinking for a while, Jerome Bonaparte said, "It's shredded, but is it completely shredded! We just shredded a corner of the Holy Alliance - the Russian Empire, and then replaced the Russian Empire!"

Indeed, whatever the new order in Jerome Bonaparte's mouth, what he is doing now is a replica of Prince Metternich's European balance of power.

"So, Your Majesty, since we have become the framers of the new order, we should do our best to maintain the existing order, instead of destroying it like before!" Valevsky said bitterly to Jerome Bonaparte. said.

"You are right!" Jerome Bonaparte suddenly realized, he patted his thigh and said to Wallevsky: "We are the makers of the European order, and we should no longer do this with the idea of ​​​​destroyers. game!"

There was a smile on Wallevsky's face, and he was glad that Jerome Bonaparte could follow his advice.

"However, are we going to do something too!" Jerome Bonaparte recalled a certain alliance in later generations. If he...

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Wallevsky looked at Jerome Bonaparte suspiciously.

"Isn't Leopold at the Grand Hotel Luxembourg? I think it's time to give them some warning!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered Wallevsky, "Wait a while, and go to Leopold yourself. At the Louvre Hotel, tell Leopold that I have something to look for! Tell him to go to the Elysee Palace to meet me!"

"Yes!" Wallevsky immediately responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had explained everything, stood up from the sofa, tidied up his sleeves slightly, and replied to Wallevsky: "Okay! I'll go to the Elysee Palace to prepare!"

After speaking, Jerome Bonaparte put on his wig and glasses again under the surprised gaze of Varevsky, and quickly finished his casual clothes.

"Fairy Wood"

…

Jerome Bonaparte, who left the Orsay Pier, ordered the carriage to take him to the Elysee Palace. The carriage galloped all the way, and soon arrived at the gate of the Elysee Palace.

The soldiers in charge of guarding the Elysee Palace stopped Jerome Bonaparte after seeing him.

After Jerome Bonaparte took off his wig and glasses, the soldiers saluted Jerome Bonaparte. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"Wait a while, a carriage will arrive at the Elysee Palace! Then you can rest assured!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the soldiers.

"Yes!" The soldier answered in an angry voice.

…

Jerome Bonaparte, who entered the Elysée Palace, entered a parlour under the leadership of the maid who stayed at the Elysée Palace. Jerome Bonaparte also told the maid to bring him directly if anyone came over. Come to him!

The maid led the way away like the soldier, and Jerome Bonaparte was alone now by the window, quietly gazing at the slowly falling sunset in the distance.

Half an hour later, when the setting sun gradually disappeared behind the row upon row of buildings, the servants placed the candles and kerosene lamps that had been prepared in the living room.

"Your Majesty, do you want to eat a little something!" the servant asked with concern.

"No need!" said Jerome Bonaparte, shaking his head.

The servants left again.

…

Ten minutes later, the door of the living room opened again, and this time it was the Belgian Crown Prince Leopold, also known as the future famous "hands-off party" Leopold II.

During his administration, the chopping party in the entire Congolese colony can be said to occupy half of the colony's population, which is very rare in the entire colonial history.

It is rude to say that the atrocities of France in Algeria are not as good as him, and only the Kingdom of Great Britain can rival and surpass him.

After all, the Kingdom of Great Britain has not only suffered many famines in India.

Even Ireland, which is white, also deliberately created a terrible famine.

However, the British Empire with its solid strength makes people dare not have any objection.
