Make France Great Again

"Thank you for your understanding! Mr. Minister, I believe that France and Prussia will become friendly diplomatic relations!"

Jerome Bonaparte hypocritically told the Prussian envoy that he knew that it was time for a "showdown" with the Prussian envoy.

According to Jerome Bonaparte's understanding of King Frederick William IV of Prussia, it was impossible for the King of Prussia to agree to the conditions he proposed.

If Frederick William IV agrees to the conditions he proposed, then the Kingdom of Prussia, which German nationalism has placed high hopes on, will become a shameful traitor. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Prussia. The socialists relied on nationalism to ascend to the Prussian political arena, and they also could not tolerate this kind of inaccuracy.

Regardless of the fact that German nationalism is being suppressed now, they have only changed from an open confrontation to a parliamentary struggle. The dream of German nationalism has always been hidden in the hearts of every German.

Of course, everyone has their own German dream. Both Prussia and Austria want to build a Germany that excludes each other, and Bavaria wants to build a third Germany that excludes Prussia and Austria.

Facts have proved that Bavaria won in the end, Austria was excluded from the German system, and Prussia left its own land of Longxing and Silesia, which it took desperately.

It was precisely because of this mentality that led to the Prussian-Prussian War in 1866. Bavaria did not choose to lead the army to join Austria to help Austria fight against Prussia.

Otherwise, judging from the battle situation of the Bavarian Front Army in the German region in 1870, 100,000 Bavarian troops joined the Prussian-Prussian battlefield, and the outcome of the entire Prussian-Prussian War will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The Prussian envoy didn't know that Jérôme Bonaparte had already made a choice in his heart. He thought that the president would support Prussia in the next battle with Austria.

"I also believe that the French Republic and the Kingdom of Prussia will become friendly diplomatic relations! In the future, our two countries will join hands to safeguard peace and order in Europe!" The Prussian Minister responded.

"Mr. Minister!" Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and whispered "frankly": "To be honest, in the struggle between you and Austria, I am more inclined to you. After all, the Austrian Empire is too big! If they get Germany If it dominates the power, the French Republic will probably face a huge empire with nearly 70 million people! 70 million people! What a terrifying statistic, the whole of France is only about 35 million people!"

Jerome Bonaparte painted with exaggerated body language.

"That's right!" The Prussian envoy also said Jerome Bonaparte and nodded his head: "An empire with 70 million people will be the nightmare of all European powers, and we in Prussia are to prevent the ambition of the Austrian Empire." A solid fence."

Before the Prussian envoy was about to rejoice over his diplomatic victory, Jerome Bonaparte's next words made the Prussian envoy somewhat at a loss.

"Mr. Minister, the same is true of your Kingdom of Prussia! You have tried your best to design the "Three Kings Alliance" regime in order to exclude the Austrian Empire from Germany!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed out in a simple and clear way The intention of the Prussian Minister: "Even if Austria is excluded, the entire Prussia still has a population of 34 to 5 million! God, a country with the same area and population as the French Republic exists beside France! And from your country's population growth rate Look, sooner or later your population will surpass that of France."

Jerome Bonaparte's rapid-fire self-answers made the Prussian minister puzzled. This was the first time he met someone who thought that Prussia was a threat to France. What's worse, the person who upheld this idea was a country. leader of.

"Prussia has goodwill towards France, and we have no historical enmity!" The Prussian envoy hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Minister, my uncle once defeated your army within two weeks!" Jerome Bonaparte reminded him "kindly".

"It was an unfortunate battle. Although we had some frictions, please believe that we still respect His Majesty the Emperor, just as we respect our Majesty the King!" The Prussian envoy, who suppressed his patriotic enthusiasm, quickly confessed.

snort! So respectful that you want to kill my uncle? Jerome Bonaparte responded with disdain in his heart.

After the failure of the Battle of Waterloo, Emperor Napoleon was forced to abdicate, and Blucher hurriedly expressed to Wellington, commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, that he would kill Emperor Napoleon.

There is more or less mixed in it the resentment of a "simple" Prussian towards Emperor Napoleon during his occupation of Prussia.

Now it is not self-deception to say that there is no grudge between the two.

Jerome Bonaparte, who knew that the Prussian envoy was talking nonsense, still cooperated with the performance of the Prussian envoy.

"I think so too!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, then spread his hands and sighed: "But these reasons do not allow me to convince my foreign minister and parliament that they like Austria more than Prussia, because most of them They are left over from the previous dynasty!"

Jerome Bonaparte blamed the Legislative Assembly and the Minister of Foreign Affairs without any psychological burden: "Unless..."

"Unless what?" the Prussian envoy asked hastily.

Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be hesitant, and then said: "Unless the Kingdom of Prussia can remove the bargaining chip that makes the Legislative Assembly and the government tempted, I will have an account for all the French people!"

"What chips?" inquired the Prussian envoy.

"France and Germany seem to have some ambiguous territorial disputes in the Rhineland region. As long as these disputes can be resolved, I think the Legislative Assembly and the entire French people will definitely support the request of the Prussian minister!" Jerome Bonaparte was vague Literally made a request for the cession of territory to the Prussian minister.

The Prussian envoy instantly understood that what Jerome Bonaparte wanted was not the so-called European peace and Prussian friendship. In his eyes, the so-called friendship and peace were worthless at all, and only naked territory could satisfy his wishes .

Damn it! You greedy fellow!

The Prussian envoy scolded Jerome Bonaparte fiercely in his heart. The Jerome Bonaparte in his eyes was about to coincide with his Emperor Napoleon, who had brought endless humiliation to Prussia. They were both equally greedy.

Although the Prussian envoy had cursed Jerome Bonaparte dozens of times in his heart, he still had a smile of standard diplomatic etiquette on his face.

"Your Excellency, regarding the territorial dispute, I think..." the Prussian minister hesitated and hesitated.

"Mr. Minister, I know that this is beyond your authority." Jerome Bonaparte "comforted" and said: "You can hand over France's request to your king, and I believe he will be able to fairly examine Prussia's relationship with Prussia. relations between Austria."

"I will convey your conditions to our King!" The Prussian envoy understood that it was basically an impossible task to obtain the support of France, and Prussia would never sell its territory to satisfy France's appetite.

Right now, I can only pray that the Austrian envoy also does not agree to France's conditions. Only in this way can France support Prussia.

After Jerome Bonaparte and the Prussian envoy continued to talk without saying a word for a long time, the Prussian envoy said goodbye: "Your Excellency, it is a pleasure to communicate with you today..."

After repeated unsuccessful efforts to persuade him to stay, Jerome Bonaparte had no choice but to say goodbye to Prussia.

Jerome Bonaparte personally escorted the Prussian envoy out of the gates of the Elysée Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Austrian envoy Baron Hubey has been waiting in the living room for a long time!" Mokar said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Did he come here on his own initiative?" Jerome Bonaparte asked with a surprised expression.

"That's right!" Mokar nodded in response.

"Take him to the study!"

Jerome Bonaparte returned to the study first, and then Mokar came to the living room and brought Minister Huber into the study.

"Mr. Minister, I'm very sorry! I was talking to Minister Tocqueville just now!" Jerome Bonaparte continued to use his ability to open his eyes and tell lies.

Baron Hubey didn't know who Jerome Bonaparte was talking to just now. Judging from Jerome Bonaparte's expression and demeanor, he seemed to be having a pleasant conversation with the Prussian envoy.

Thinking of this, Baron Huiber couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Now is the most critical time, once the French Republic chooses to support Prussia, it will undoubtedly be a prestige blow to the Austrian Empire.

Those German states at both ends of the snake and mouse will inevitably choose to stand on the side of Prussia after seeing that Prussia has the support of France.

This is undoubtedly a thing that is too bad for the Austrian Empire.

Right now, Baron Huiber is also unable to expose Jerome Bonaparte's lies. Rushing to expose them will only cause bad consequences for the diplomatic relations between the two countries. He can only talk about Jerome Bonaparte's lies. The number of roads goes down.

"It doesn't matter. It is a great honor for the President to meet with me!" Baron Hubey praised Jerome Bonaparte.

One-sided transparency of information (Jerome Bonaparte, who opened the "Future" link, understands the diplomatic strategy of the Austrian Empire, and Baron Hubey does not know what Jerome Bonaparte discussed with the Prussian envoy.) Next, Baron Hubey could only tentatively say: "Your Excellency, you must know that we are already at war with Prussia!"
