Make France Great Again

"I hope that after Austria's victory over Prussia, the Rhineland region can give France some convenience!"

Count Bauer finally understood what Jerome Bonaparte wanted.

After a long time of trouble, the French Empire was still giving up its ambitions on the left bank of the Rhineland.

However, that's fine too! The Austrian Empire did not have to worry about the involvement of the French Empire when it repaired the Kingdom of Prussia in the future.

Earl Bower thought silently in his heart.

"Count Bauer, what do you think of my proposal?" Jerome Bonaparte's voice reached Count Bauer, "I can support the Austrian Empire to take Silesia and restore its hegemonic position in Germany!

And the Austrian Empire only needs to hand over a part of the land that does not belong to your own to us! "

"Your Majesty, this is not a question that I, a foreign minister, can decide!" Count Bauer replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"I know!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said to Count Paul, "You just need to tell Franz Joseph exactly what I said to you!

Trust me, I will never treat you badly! "

"Your Majesty, I will tell our Majesty what you have said!" Count Bauer said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Okay! We have been talking for a long time! If we don't go back, they will probably think that our two families are conspiring to do something shameful!" Jerome Bonaparte decisively ended the topic.

Is not it?

Count Bauer retorted, but with a humble expression on his face, he replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "Yes!"

Jerome Bonaparte and the Count of Bauer returned to the banquet hall one after the other.

After the guests in the banquet hall saw Jerome Bonaparte, they surrounded Jerome Bonaparte again and chatted with Jerome Bonaparte.

And Earl Bauer was also stopped by Earl Clarendon, the British Foreign Secretary. After the two chatted for a while, Earl Clarendon, who knew that he could not get any effective information from Earl Bauer, left.

…

The whole banquet lasted for nearly 4 hours before it ended. Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta shook hands with each of the foreign ministers in turn, and then sent their blessings.

When Jerome Bonaparte shook hands with Cavour, the last guest, Jerome Bonaparte glanced at Cavour and said lightly, "Mr. Cavour, I have Mr. Erle had a brief exchange on Lombardy and Venice!"

"Your Majesty, what did Count Bauer say?" Count Cavour asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Bauer told me that the Austrian Empire has no plans to abandon these two areas in a short period of time, so the Kingdom of Sardinia will have to wait for a while!" Jerome Bonaparte tried his best to use euphemism to speak to Cavour. said a word.

After listening to Jerome Bonaparte's words, Cavour's face was slightly disappointed.

Although Cavour himself has always told himself that he cannot hope for peaceful redemption, there is still a glimmer of hope for peaceful redemption in his heart.

If the Austrian Empire takes over the power of the French Empire and is willing to buy it peacefully, then everything will be fine.

Therefore, when Jerome Bonaparte told him that the negotiation failed, his mood was still a little depressed and lost.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the Kingdom of Sardinia, thank you for speaking up for the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Cavour said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Cavour!" Jerome Bonaparte continued: "Since Lombardy will not be able to return in a short period of time, I personally hope that you will consider what I said to you before!

The future of the Kingdom of Sardinia should not be limited to the Apennine Peninsula, there is a vast world outside the Apennine Peninsula waiting for us to explore! "

"Your Majesty, I will give you an answer as soon as possible!" Cavour replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"By the way, there is one more thing!" Jerome Bonaparte suddenly remembered that he still had one important thing to tell Cavour: "I will hold a European Monetary Union seminar in October this year. I hope the Kingdom of Sardinia will not forget it!”

"I see, Your Majesty!" Cavour nodded again and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Okay! That's all I have to say!" Jerome Bonaparte let go of Cavour's hand, "Go back to rest early!"

After the Count of Cavour bowed to Jerome Bonaparte, he left the Tuileries Palace.

Jerome Bonaparte, who watched Cavour leave, stretched out his body and yawned and said to Queen Augusta beside him, "It's getting late! We should go back and rest!"

Queen Augusta and Jerome Bonaparte returned to the bedroom, arm in arm.

…

Early the next morning, some newspapers in Paris, London, Vienna, Berlin, and even St. Petersburg published the news that the peace treaty was officially signed and implemented.

At 2 p.m., the artillery of the Invalides in Paris sounded again. This sound completely announced the complete end of the Crimean War that lasted for more than a year.

The French Empire and the British Kingdom with absolute superiority won this war, which not only turned the Russian Empire into two governments, but also forced them to lose Poland, Finland, Crimea Peninsula and Bessarabia. (Strictly speaking, Bessarabia's territory was not lost, but the demilitarization of Bessarabia is a real shame)

The Russian Empire can be said to have experienced a humiliation that has never been seen since Peter the Great.

And the French Empire once again told the whole of Europe with practical actions. Even if the French Empire experienced a defeat, it was still the strongest army in the whole of Europe.

Jerome Bonaparte also gained unprecedented prestige by stepping on the body of the Russian Empire.

In the week after that, tens of thousands of people gathered on the streets of Paris every day, and the business of cafes and restaurants became extremely hot.

The Century Fair also drew a large number of foreign tourists with the help of the signing of the Paris Peace Treaty.

When the Ministry of Finance handed over the fiscal revenue of Paris for the entire April to Jerome Bonaparte, Jerome Bonaparte was surprised to find that the fiscal revenue in April was higher than the overall fiscal revenue of Paris in April of the previous year. up 10%.

You must know that the fiscal revenue in April of last year was only maintained by releasing water in a large area.

And today's April fiscal revenue is completely dependent on Paris's own strong influence and the income obtained.

Jerome Bonaparte, who has read the financial statements, is more confident in Paris. As long as Paris can continue to be the holiday center of European elites, then it does not need to worry about financial problems at all.

The cost of those luxurious mansions and streets can be paid by the European elites. The people of Paris can live much better than people in other places just by eating the dividends brought by the elites.

As long as the bread in the hands of the people of Paris is not greatly affected, the revolution in Paris will not occur again.

After all, only those who have nothing would be willing to fight for their lives.

Those glamorous gentlemen will not block their lives in the illusory revolution.

In Jerome Bonaparte's mind, the future Paris will not only become an industrial city, but also a service-oriented city.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte once again called the Baron Haussmann, a high-ranking official of the Seine province, to talk with him.

"I want to build Paris into a super metropolis and make it the most dazzling pearl in Europe!

Only in this way can we continue to attract more and more rich people to settle in Paris and guide them to consume! "

After listening to Jérôme Bonaparte's lofty ambition to build a European pearl, Baron Haussmann was also very excited.

So, Baron Haussmann once again made a request to Jerome Bonaparte to annex the Seine province.

In the face of Baron Haussmann's request, Jerome Bonaparte did not lose his head. He decisively rejected Baron Haussmann's request, and then warned Baron Haussmann that he was seeking to expand after finishing the existing area.

Baron Haussmann had to agree to Jerome Bonaparte's suggestion, temporarily suppressing the idea of ​​continuing to expand.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte instructed Baron Haussmann to move the chemical industry (mainly the pigments used to color silk fabrics) to a location far away from the Seine. com must not let the chemical industry endanger the lives of citizens of Paris, and at the same time inquired about the situation of Paris' tap water and stagecoaches.

Baron Haussmann told Jérôme Bonaparte that with the efforts of Societe Generale, where Isaac Perel is located, all the small and medium-sized water companies in Paris have been completely merged into one Conzern group, responsible for supplying drinking water to the citizens of Paris .

"You have to tell Isaac Perel that the price of drinking water should not be set too high! Knowing that the water runs smoothly is king!" Jerome Bonaparte reminded once again.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Baron Haussmann patted his chest and assured Jerome Bonaparte that the water used by the residents of Paris would be cheaper than before.

And the stagecoach is also in charge of Isaac Perel, and the fee for the stagecoach will also only be slightly more expensive than before.

However, in terms of comfort, it is more than a little bit stronger than before.

"Then I can rest assured!" Jerome Bonaparte patted Baron Haussmann on the shoulder and said to him: "Haussmann, you will be working hard for a few years! After Paris is completed, I will promote you to be a leader. Minister of State!"

"Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Baron Haussmann said excitedly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"By the way! One more thing, Prince Albert and Queen Victoria may visit Paris to visit the Century Fair!

At that time, if I can't get out of my body! You, a high-ranking official of the Seine, will receive them instead of me! "
