Make France Great Again

Leopold II immediately asked Jerome Bonaparte how many countries were involved in the currency union he formed.

Jerome Bonaparte immediately responded: "In addition to you, the first invited countries are the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Principality of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Württemberg, as well as Sardinia and the Austrian Empire!"

After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's invitation list, Leopold II felt that Belgium's entry into the currency union had indeed made some headway.

However, at this time, he didn't know that besides the Kingdom of Belgium, Jerome Bonaparte had not notified the rest of the country at all, and the European Monetary Union in his mouth was just an empty shelf.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely persuade my father to join the currency union you formed!" Leopold II said solemnly to Jerome Bonaparte: "Please believe in the Kingdom of Belgium, and it will definitely be firm. Follow in the footsteps of France!"

"With your words, I am relieved!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Leopold II with a smile, "It's not too late, I wonder if you are interested in accompanying me. Head to the Tuinlery Palace to dine!"

"Of course!" Leopold II nodded repeatedly to Jerome Bonaparte.

At the invitation of Jerome Bonaparte, Leopold II rode in a carriage to the Tuinlery Palace.

The carriage passed through and soon arrived at the Tuin Leli Palace.

The two who got off the carriage walked up the steps talking and laughing. Mocart, who was standing in the hall, saw Jerome Bonaparte arrived and trotted to him.

"This is Mocar!" Jerome Bonaparte introduced to Leopold II: "If you need anything in Paris, you can call him at any time!

If he can't solve it, I will solve it myself! "

"Mr. Mokar!" Leopold II nodded slightly to Mokar.

Although it is said that this is his second meeting with Mokal, this meeting is obviously different from the last one.

"His Royal Highness Leopold!" Mokar responded humbly, he knew that this King Leopold II had been absorbed into the circle of the Tuinlery Palace, just like the King of Württemberg and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. , "As long as you have a day in Paris, I will be at your service!"

"Thank you very much!" Leopold II nodded slightly.

"Mocar, is there any food in the restaurant now!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Mocar again.

"Your Majesty, there is more!" Mokar replied.

"Then take us to the restaurant and serve!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered Mocar.

"As ordered!"

Mocal brought Jérôme Bonaparte and Leopold II to the restaurant, and then poured a glass of Bordeaux wine for them.

After finishing all this, Mocal left the restaurant, leaving only Jerome Bonaparte sitting in the main seat and Leopold II beside him.

"Leopold!" Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the somewhat restrained Leopold, he raised his glass and said to Leopold II: "You should know the rules of the Tuin-lely Palace, right? !"

Leopold II showed a blank expression, shook his head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I don't know!"

"The rules of the Tuin-Léry Palace are..." Jerome Bonaparte deliberately paused, "There are no rules!"

A look of consternation appeared on Leopold II's face. Jerome Bonaparte's words reminded him of the time when he was invited to visit Louis-Philippe, King of Orleans, at the invitation of King Louis-Philippe of Orleans.

The queen of Louis Philippe, the grandmother of Leopold II, said the same thing.

At that time she told Leopold II that the rules of the court of the Tuinlerey had ended with the end of the orthodox Bourbon, and that the new Bourbon now had few rules.

It's just that people he didn't expect, the Bonaparte family, who has always been obsessed with imitating noble etiquette, will "have no rules."

"So, Leopold! You don't need to be so nervous when you are in front of me!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Leopold in a relaxed tone: "The age difference between the two of us is not the same. So big (12 years difference), you can count me as a friend!"

"Yeah!" Leopold II responded softly, and the slightly nervous mood began to relax.

As a young man in his early 20s, the complicated court etiquette is simply torture.

"That's it!" Jerome Bonaparte raised his glass and said to Leopold II, "Let's toast to the friendship between France and Belgium!"

Leopold II hurriedly picked up the glass to send a blessing to Jerome Bonaparte.

After a glass of wine, the tense atmosphere gradually began to dissipate.

When Jerome Bonaparte picked up the wine bottle and was about to pour another glass for Leopold II himself, the quick-eyed Leopold II hurriedly brought the wine glass to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and poured his wine.

"Continued Cup!"

…

As plate after plate of delicacies came to the table, the wine in the glasses of Jerome Bonaparte and Leopold II also washed and did not stop.

"The Guard is Here"

The topic of Jerome Bonaparte and Leopold II gradually opened up after being slightly drunk. Leopold II, who was gradually drunk, began to swear at Britain's obstruction of the French-Belgian customs union. Jerome Bonaparte, along with Leopold II, was quite critical of the intervention in the Kingdom of Great Britain.

"How about we two countries form a coal and steel community?" Jérôme Bonaparte moved out the predecessor of the European Union.

"Your Majesty, what is the coal and steel community?" Leopold asked curiously.

"That is, the coal and steel of our two countries are all managed by a unified agency, which can control the production, investment, price and distribution rights of the summer of our two countries!" Jerome Bona Bar explained the institution to Leopold II.

"Your Majesty, how is this organization composed?" Leopold II asked curiously.

"The appointment of the personnel of the institution is jointly recommended by the two of us..." Jerome Bonaparte explained to Leopold II, copying the entire statute of the later European Coal and Steel Community.

"Your Majesty, if you have only two countries in your organization, I'm afraid it is impossible to form it!" Leopold II immediately realized that the organization in the mouth of Jerome Bonaparte needs the coordination of multiple countries. success.

"You're right!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, "So I'm going to carry out the plan to implement this coal and steel community after the currency union is implemented!"

"Your Majesty, we are willing to join it!" Leopold II immediately replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"If you are willing, that would be great!" Jerome Bonaparte was overjoyed. He did not expect that an organization that could only be achieved after two world wars would be completed in just a few words of his own. Oh, what a surprise!

Of course, what he didn't know was that in Leopold II's idea, the so-called coal and steel community was just a copy of the unfinished French-Belgian customs union.

After the meal, Jerome Bonaparte looked at Leopold II, who was unconscious on the table, with blurred eyes, and said to Mokar, "Look at this Leopold, he is Xun, only No matter how much you drink, you're already drunk!"

Mocar didn't answer, he stood quietly waiting for Jerome Bonaparte's next order.

After a while, Jérôme Bonaparte slowly got up and said to Mocart: "Thank you for your troubles and settle down Leopold II!"

"As ordered!"

Mocar personally carried Leopold II away, and a colleague sent a servant to support Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, are you going to the room of Her Majesty Queen Augusta or another room?" the servant asked Jerome Bonaparte cautiously.

"Other rooms!" Jerome Bonaparte said decisively to the servant.

With the help of his servants, Jerome Bonaparte arrived at a bedroom in the Tuin-lely Palace.

Several servants carefully settled Jerome Bonaparte and left.

At 7 am the next day, Jerome Bonaparte opened his eyes and got up from the bed.

At this time, his mind was still a little dizzy, and he immediately called the servants and asked them to prepare toiletries for himself.

After a brief wash, Jerome Bonaparte was a little more awake.

Then he went downstairs alone to take a walk in the garden outside the Tuinlery Palace, where he met Queen Caterina again.

At this time, Queen Caterina was walking in the gardens of the Tuin Leli Palace like him, and Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Morning cousin!"

"Morning!" Queen Katarina's attitude was obviously not as enthusiastic as the last time, she responded slyly.

"Cousin, who are you angry with?" Jerome Bonaparte asked knowingly.

"No one was born!" Queen Katarina responded sullenly again.

"Okay! Cousin, don't be angry anymore!" Jerome Bonaparte had no choice but to say softly, "I know you are angry at me for inviting Leopold II over here!"

"No!" Queen Katerina stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Cousin, it's not that I don't want to promise you this! It's just that the impact of your actions is too great!" Jerome Bonaparte explained to Queen Caterina painstakingly: "Not to mention your merger Whether Belgium is legal or not, the Kingdom of Great Britain will never do this to you!"
