Make France Great Again

After hearing Wallevsky's explanation, Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction and gave Wallevsky an order: "Now you go to the embassy in Austria and tell me everything you said to me. To Minister Bower, so that he can be fully prepared! By the way, when will the next meeting start?"

"Your Majesty, there will be a second meeting the day after tomorrow!" Wallevsky responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"I see!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded again, and then urged Wallevsky to go to the ambassador to Austria as soon as possible to inform Minister Bauer of the details.

Because Jerome Bonaparte himself is not very optimistic about Bauer's political sense, the current Count of Bauer is not to say that he is compared with the deceased Schwarzenberg, even if he is compared with Mette, who has lost his energy now. Prince Nirvana is not as good.

The reason why such a person can serve as the foreign minister is not only because the Austrian Empire itself has not produced many outstanding talents, but also because Franz Joseph's own vision is particularly bad.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte was a little worried that Count Bauer would misunderstand the attitude of the French Empire and make some decisions that were not conducive to the relationship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire.

[PS: The history of Count Bauer was because of his stupid foreign policy in the Crimean War, which led to the unprecedented isolation of the Austrian Empire from 1856 to 1860.

Moreover, in the Franco-Austrian War in 1860, he did not follow the advice of Prince Metternich and used the powers of the foreign minister to block Franz Joseph, which led to a disaster. 】

On the other hand, Wallevsky, who didn't know much about the "brilliant history" of Count Bauer, felt that Jerome Bonaparte ordered him to go to the embassy in Austria to remind Count Bauer that it was a bit unnecessary. He was from France. Foreign Minister, not an Austrian nanny.

Besides, it must not be a fool for Earl Bower to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he must have already recalled his intentions.

Since His Majesty the Emperor insisted that he make a trip in person, Wallevsky had to obey the Emperor's order.

Just when Wallevsky was about to leave, Jerome Bonaparte suddenly stopped Wallevsky.

"Your Majesty, what other orders do you have?" Wallevsky stopped and turned to ask Jerome Bonaparte.

"I remember your son Alexander is now 10 years old!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Wallevsky.

"Yes!" Wallevsky answered honestly.

"If you have a chance, take him to the Tuileries Palace!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Wallevsky.

"Yes!" This time, Wallevsky answered more forcefully. He knew that his son Alexander's future prosperity and wealth could be said to be almost certain, as long as he did not commit suicide.

If Alexander has a little bit of ability, then there is the possibility of taking his place!

"Okay! It's getting late, you can go quickly!" Jerome Bonaparte waved at Wallevsky.

Excited, Wallevsky left Jerome Bonaparte's study and arrived at the gate of the embassy in Austria in an inconspicuous carriage.

At this time, the embassy in Austria was still brightly lit. Foreign Minister Bauer and Austrian Ambassador to France Richard Metternich were sitting on the sofa discussing what happened today.

"What do you mean, the French Foreign Minister Vallewski deliberately made things difficult for us?" As the client, the Count of Bauer frowned and asked Richard Metternich.

"Your Excellency, I don't think Mr. Wallevsky is making things difficult! From what I see, Wallevsky's purpose is nothing more than to be a neutral arbiter between us, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire. Fight each other!" Richard Metternich shook his head and explained to Minister Paul: "After all, as the host of the Paris Peace Conference, the French Empire cannot blindly favor us!

Otherwise, they will cause dissatisfaction in other countries!

As a result, the arbiter is lost, which is fair. "

After listening to Richard Metternich's explanation, Count Bauer immediately realized that this operation of Wallevsky was not the trick that Prince Metternich used to do.

Hiding one's inclination under the premise of fairness, and then relying on the consent of the majority to suppress the opposing party.

Damn, how could I forget this! Earl Bower thought to himself.

Then he looked at Richard Metternich with "kind" eyes and said, "Richard... I can call you that!"

"It's my honor!" Richard Metternich responded humbly.

"Richard! I can bet you that my position will belong to you ten years from now!" Count Bauer praised Richard Metternich: "In you, I seem to see Prince Metternich. shadow!"

"Compared with my father, I'm still far behind!" Richard Metternich responded modestly.

"Don't worry, you still have ten years to hone! No one can reach the sky in one step!" Earl Bower said to Richard Metternich.

Ten years? snort!

Richard Metternich snorted coldly in his heart. He knew that Count Bauer was implying that he would not compete with him for the position of foreign minister for ten years.

After ten years, the foreign secretary will naturally fall into his hands.

And how could Richard Metternich obey Count Bauer's arrangement and wait for ten years? He had to climb as high as possible while his father was still alive.

Because only in this way can he inherit Prince Metternich's connections and scumbags. Once Prince Metternich dies, those connections and relationships will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, it is impossible for Richard Metternich to wait ten years before taking action in the position of foreign minister.

Once he finds a chance, then Richard Metternich will not hesitate to shoot at Count Bower.

This is what he learned in the Crimea with Jérôme Bonaparte.

The current Richard Metternich must learn to disguise so that Count Bower does not feel his threat.

Only in this way can he unexpectedly cause the death of Earl Bower.

Although Richard Metternich was dismissive of Count Bauer in his heart, he humbly told Count Bauer that his experience was still shallow, and he needed someone with rich experience like Count Bauer to check it out!

Just as Count Bauer and Richard Metternich started to make hypocritical touts, a servant in the French embassy came to Count Bauer and interrupted the two of them to tell them that they were visiting.

Count Bower immediately asked about the origin of the guest! .

"The other party is Vallewski, the French Foreign Minister." The servant replied to the Count of Bauer.

"Walewski?" Both Count Bower and Richard Metternich had surprised expressions on their faces. They didn't understand why Wallevsky came to visit late at night.

After a few seconds, Count Bauer spoke to his servant and said, "Then why don't you invite Minister Wallevsky over soon!"

"Yes!" The servant hurried to the gate and invited Wallewski to enter the embassy.

After a while, Wallevsky appeared in front of Count Bower and Richard Metternich. The two shook hands with Count Bower and sat down.

"Mr. Wallevsky, what's the matter with the late night visit?" Count Bower asked Wallevsky with a solemn expression.

"Mr. Bauer, I am here for this afternoon!" Wallevsky hurriedly explained to Count Bauer that his actions this afternoon were not intended to target the Austrian Empire.

"I know!" Count Bauer showed off the conversation between Richard Mette and him just now: "We will win the unanimous consent of other countries, and we will not embarrass France!"

"I don't worry about that!" Wallevsky showed a relieved smile on his face.

At this point, his goal can be considered achieved.

"Since you've seen it, Mr. Bauer, then I'm doing this for nothing!" Wallevsky said to Count Bauer half-jokingly, and then bid farewell to Count Bauer politely.

"Please wait a moment!" Count Bower said while giving Richard Metternich a wink.

Richard Metternich immediately understood what Count Bower meant, and he got up and left the living room.

After a while, when Richard Metternich appeared in the living room again, there was an extra box in his hand.

Richard Metternich gave the box in his hand to Count Bauer, and then Count Bauer gave the box to Wallevsky.

"No, I can't accept this!" Wallevsky reservedly rejected Count Bower's gift.

"Mr. Wallevsky, we are friends!" Count Bower asked Wallevsky with a smile.

"Of course!" Wallevsky nodded to Count Bower.

"This is my gift to you as a friend! I hope you won't refuse it!" Count Bower shoved the box into Wallevsky's hand.

"Then I will accept it!" Wallevsky accepted the gift from Count Bower.

Anyway, taking bribes is an unspoken rule in the diplomatic world. As long as there is no overly important information, most monarchs will not confiscate this property.

"Thank you very much!" Looking at Wallewski who accepted the bribe, Count Bower breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Wallevsky left the embassy, ​​and sitting in the carriage, he opened the gift given to him by Count Bower.

There is a whole box of gold utensils in the box, and if it is sold in the market, it will be at least 100,000 to 200,000 francs.

"The Austrian Empire is quite generous!" Wallewski muttered in a low voice.

During the rest of the next day, Count Bauer secretly went to the embassies of various countries except Prussia and Russia to discuss the situation.

After receiving bribes from Count Bauer, the vast majority of countries indicated that they would definitely support the Austrian Empire at the next meeting.
