Make France Great Again

In the face of Grand Duke Maximilian's offer to let his father personally or appoint a specific cabinet, Verde was a little moved.

Whether it is his father to form the cabinet himself (which is almost 0, because Prince Czartoryski is 84 years old), or to have his father appoint someone to form the cabinet, he will be able to accumulate in the nascent kingdom of Poland. Having a deep network of contacts will also help him in his future political career.

You know, the current Verde is only in his early thirties.

For an ordinary person, his early thirties may mean that he will achieve nothing in his future life, while for a politician, his thirties are just a golden age of political development.

Once the new cabinet appointed by his father was established (Wileder tacitly agreed that his father was incapable of forming a cabinet), then Willed was fully able to inherit his father's shadow and serve as Prime Minister of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw during his lifetime.

This is no better than his wasted life in France, I don't know how much!

Grand Duke Maximilian and Jerome Bonaparte, who were sitting beside Verde, looked at each other and smiled after seeing the subtle change in Verde's expression.

They knew that Verde was about to be persuaded by the terms of the Grand Duke Maximilian.

So, Jerome Bonaparte decided to add another fire to Vieerde. He looked at Archduke Maximilian and said with a smile: "Maximilians!"

Archduke Maximilian, who was interviewed by Jerome Bonaparte, was stunned for a while, and then quickly responded: "Your Majesty!"

"Who will handle your daily chores in the Habsburgs for you!" Jerome Bonaparte blatantly hinted at Archduke Maximilian.

Grand Duke Maximilian immediately understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant, and he hurriedly replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, my daily chores are all done by myself!"

"That's not good!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the Grand Duke Maximilian: "You are a future monarch anyway, how can you not have someone around you who handles daily trivial matters for you!"

"Your Majesty, you are right!" Grand Duke Maximilian hurriedly echoed, "I will look for a suitable candidate after I return to Vienna!"

"Why do you need to go back to Vienna! I think Mr. Verde is a good candidate!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the Archduke Maximilian, and then added: "What do you think?"

After Grand Duke Maximilian pretended to look at Verde, he invited Verde with a smile: "Mr. Verde, I wonder if you would like to condescend to be my secretary!"

After hearing the invitation from the Grand Duke Maximilian, Vield said to the Grand Duke Maximilian with a trembling mouth: "Grand... Your Excellency... No, Your Majesty, I am very willing to serve you!"

"Mr. Verde, you will be my first secretary from now on!" Grand Duke Maximilian stretched out his hand and said to Verde, "I hope we can treat each other frankly in future cooperation!"

If the previous Wield was just heartbroken, then the current Wield has made up his mind to help Maximilian become the Grand Duke of Warsaw.

Because he and Maximilian have become a community of shared interests from the beginning.

Of course, he also knew very well that the reason why Archduke Maximilian was willing to let him serve as secretary was simply to use his father's influence to allow him to take over as Archduke of Warsaw with the approval of all parties.

However, this is not where his capital lies.

It was clear to both him and his father that the successful establishment of Poland did not depend on them, but on the Emperor of France.

So they didn't have any choice from the beginning, and the reason why his father sent him here was to hope to sell and get a good price. (At least Wilder thinks so)

"Your Majesty, I am honored to be your secretary!" Verde said excitedly, holding the hand of Grand Duke Maximilian.

"Mr. Verde, what do you think of the conditions just now?" Grand Duke Maximilian returned to the previous question again.

"Your Majesty!" said Verde respectfully to Maximilian, "my father just wanted to ask you one question!"

"What's the problem?" Archduke Maximilian asked Verde.

"After you become the Grand Duke of Warsaw, what political system will be implemented in the Grand Duchy of Warsaw!" Verde asked Grand Duke Maximilian.

Maximilian told Verde: Since the Polish political system was different from the French Empire, they could not follow the French universal electoral system.

If he were fortunate enough to be the Grand Duke of Warsaw, he would learn from the Orleans system of "universal" elections in Poland.

That is, every Polish citizen who lives in the kingdom, as long as he meets the election conditions (the right to vote when the annual tax amount is 100 francs, and the annual tax amount exceeds 200 francs, has the right to be elected), can participate in the election of the Kingdom of Poland. election.

After listening to Maximilian's words, Verde couldn't help but have more expectations for Grand Duke Maximilian to serve as Polish monarch.

Because the system implemented by Grand Duke Maximilian can effectively guarantee the political monopoly of those who have property in Poland, that is, those political elites.

Only with the support of the political elite could Grand Duke Maximilian truly take root in Poland.

"Wild, what do you think?" Archduke Maximilian asked Verd.

"Your Majesty, your idea is very good!" Verde replied to Grand Duke Maximilian. "Although your idea may not be loved by my father, it can effectively protect the interests of the Polish property owners."

"Prince Czartoryski, why don't you like it?" Archduke Maximilian asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, in fact, my father always wanted to build Poland into a republic!" Verde explained to Grand Duke Maximilian: "No matter how bad it is, we must build a country with universal suffrage like the French Empire!"

"How shall I persuade Czartokoski?" asked Archduke Maximilian.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to convince my father!" Verde shook his head and replied to Czartoryski: "In fact, my father called me here with the lowest expectations!

As long as you can properly respect the interests of Poland, my father will support you as the Grand Duke of Warsaw! "

Afterwards, Archduke Maximilian and Verde continued to negotiate for a long time, and the two sides were surprised to develop that their political views coincided in some respects (both were liberals in a broad sense).

As a result, the two discussed more vigorously, and Jerome Bonaparte, who was originally the leader of the meeting, was also put aside.

It was not until Jerome Bonaparte coughed twice and pointed to the time of the grandfather clock to tell them that it was almost time for supper, that Grand Duke Maximilian and Verde stopped.

Immediately afterwards, at the invitation of Jerome Bonaparte, Grand Duke Maximilian and Verde accompanied Jerome Bonaparte to dinner.

After they entered the restaurant, they saw Augusta who was already sitting in the restaurant, and they all greeted Augusta.

Empress Augusta smiled and invited Maximilian to sit down with Verde, Verde and Maximilian sat on the left and right sides of Jerome Bonaparte respectively.

After the dinner officially started, Jerome Bonaparte first proposed to toast the friendship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Poland, and then proposed to toast the friendship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire!

After two glasses of wine, Jerome Bonaparte immediately started chatting.

Jerome Bonaparte told Verde that the reason why he chose the Grand Duke Maximilian as the Grand Duke of Warsaw was to ease the relationship between Poland and Austria. In addition to jointly containing the Russian Empire, Grand Duke Maximilian himself was a capable and willing leader of reform.

He hoped that Archduke Maximilian and Verde would cooperate sincerely to build a new Poland.

The French Empire will also help the newly born Poland within its power.

If Poland wants to, they can also provide ample funds for the construction of Poland.

Grand Duke Maximilian immediately expressed his gratitude to Jerome Bonaparte on behalf of the Kingdom of Poland.

After the dinner, Verde chatted with Grand Duke Maximilian for a while, and then was sent back to Prince Czartoryski's residence by Jerome Bonaparte.

Verde, who returned to his residence, was immediately called to the bedroom by Czartoryski and asked, "Have you seen Archduke Maximilian?"

Verde nodded to Czartoryski and said, "I see!"

"What kind of person do you think he is?" Czartoryski asked Verde again.

"Archduke Maximilian is different from his rigid and ruthless brother, he is a more tolerant person!" Verde replied to Czartoryski.

"Then did he tell you what political system he was going to implement in Poland!

' Czartoryski asked Verde again.

Verde immediately relayed Maximilian's words to Czartokoski. Although Czartoreski had some regrets in his heart, he still said: "Not bad!"

"Yes, father! Archduke Maximilian is going to invite me to be his secretary!

" Verde continued to Czartoryski: "And he also gave you the right to form the first cabinet!" "
