Make France Great Again

"Okay! You did a great job!"

Jérôme Bonaparte applauded Valewski's visit to Britain for its complete success. In his plan, if Britain could reach a consensus with France in the Near East, the task would have been completed.

Unexpectedly, Walewski exceeded the task, which was beyond his expectation.

With a reserved smile on his face, Walewski nodded and flattered Jérôme Bonaparte: "This just proves that France has gradually become Britain under your leadership." A part that cannot be ignored!”

"Haha!" Valewski's flattery made Jérôme Bonaparte laugh heartily: "Cousin, when did you learn to flatter others!"

Walewski smiled and didn't respond. After a while, Jerome Bonaparte stopped smiling and asked about the specific situation of the British Cabinet: "The current British Cabinet is still headed by Prime Minister Russell!"

"Prime Minister Russell was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom until I left Britain," Walewski said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"You mean that Prime Minister Russell's current position is likely to be overturned by the opposition?" Jérôme Bonaparte frowned slightly and his tone became serious.

According to Jerome Bonaparte's remaining memory of "history", the time when Russell's cabinet was dismissed should be around 1852.

"It's very possible!" Walewski explained to Jérôme Bonaparte: "As far as I know, Lord Russell has been challenged many times. The challenge is not only the external Tory party, but also the internal challenge. His Whig colleagues also challenged him for the premiership."

A smile appeared on the corner of Jerome Bonaparte's lips. He leaned back slightly on the sofa and said, "If I guess correctly, the challenger within the Whig Party should be Mr. Palmerston." !”

Walewski nodded noncommittally and said: "Mr. Palmerston has never been satisfied with the position of Foreign Secretary. He has tried to attack the position of Prime Minister Russell many times."

"It seems that our Prime Minister Russell is really going to face a crisis of overturning the government!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a gloating smile.

Although Britain and France have become quasi-allies, this does not prevent Jérôme Bonaparte from harboring deep malice towards Britain's political situation of frequent cabinet collapses.

Who among the political elites of Britain and France does not know that France and Britain are just a superficial "couple" who are united because of temporary common interests. As long as the "external" crisis comes into contact, Britain and France will open up the so-called "external" crisis. The fellow quilter pointed the bayonet and rifle at each other.

Jérôme Bonaparte never hesitated to speculate on Britain with the greatest malice. He even had some suspicions that the reason why Britain made concessions in the Mediterranean and Pacific waters was most likely to defend against the Holy Alliance and the United States, which was extending its hand to the Pacific.

The United States, which annexed California, is fully qualified to deploy in the Pacific.

Although its current power is still weak, the potential contained within it has completely surpassed the New World.

Only after the two industrial revolutions are over, the industrial output of the New World will completely overwhelm Old Europe.

At that time, the United States will only need to wait for the opportunity to perform "a father is kind and a son is filial".

Jérôme Bonaparte believed that no one could imagine that in just two generations, those losers who were driven to the New World would stage a "hero's return" drama.

The topic has gone too far.

After a brief moment of gloating, Jerome Bonaparte returned to the topic. After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask: "If Prime Minister Russell's cabinet collapses, what will Palmerston, as the Foreign Secretary, discuss with us?" A series, wouldn’t it be..."

Jérôme Bonaparte's concerns were not unreasonable. The Tories and the Whigs had different lines, and the diplomatic policies they pursued would also be different.

If the Tories choose to target France together with Nicholas I for the sake of European peace, then Jerome Bonaparte may have to consider when to flee to Britain for refuge.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry!" Valewski comforted Jerome Bonaparte, and he responded confidently: "My meeting with Minister Palmerston was witnessed by Prince Albert! "

"Prince Albert?" Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, and his slightly frowning brows relaxed again: "If this is the case, then Britain's diplomatic policy will not change much."

Even Prince Albert, who is usually cautious in his words and deeds, participated in the diplomatic operations between Britain and France, which made the attitude of the Hanoverian royal family clear.

[PS: In Jérôme Bonaparte’s subconscious mind, Prince Albert in 1848 ≠ Prince Albert in 1851. The former was prepared for the revolution of the Republic, and the Russian Empire was likely to set off a major revolution in Europe. turmoil.

In 1851, countries had gradually stabilized and the threat of revolution had passed. Albert was likely to change his previous views.

Diplomatic tendencies will change as the current situation changes. 】

Since Britain's attitude towards the Russian Empire is as it has been historically, Jérôme Bonaparte can safely and boldly carry out certain provocations against the Russian Empire.

Just make sure France doesn't fire the first shot.

"That's right!" Walewski whispered to Jérôme Bonaparte after pondering for a moment: "Prince Albert asked me to tell you that he and Queen Victoria want to visit Britain. However, they are a little afraid. The strict system of the republic.”

Jérôme Bonaparte did not understand what Prince Albert was implying. They just said that it would be best to turn the republican system into an imperial system.

Albert's hint undoubtedly pricked the desire in Jerome Bonaparte's heart. In order to successfully get France to accept him as emperor, he had sent his men to various places to publicize it, thus creating a sense of publicity. the trend of.

In order to gain the support of "celebrities", he frequently wrote letters to senior officials and generals from various places.

He also showed no mercy and punished disobedient high-ranking officials and generals with thunder and lightning.

Among the many high-ranking officials, George Haussmann of Bordeaux Province has always been at the forefront of the touting army.

In view of the historical ability of Baron George Haussmann, Jérôme Bonaparte had begun to consider appointing him as a high-ranking official in the Seine Province.

Of course, domestic support alone is not enough; international support is also essential.

In July of this year, Jerome Bonaparte informed Pope Pius IX of his desire to become the Emperor of France through the channels of the Bonaparte family.

In August, Pius IX expressed his consent to the coronation of Jerome Bonaparte on behalf of God as long as France could continue to protect the Papal State and respect the clergy. If you need more, you have to pay more.

After receiving the message, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately went to the Papal States, where he represented France on many matters related to the Pope's coronation.

Nowadays, Prince Albert's personal support is undoubtedly a powerful assist.

However, considering Britain's always vague diplomatic strategy. Jerome Bonaparte's fevered mind calmed down again, and he cautiously asked again: "When Prince Albert was talking to you, did he mention his opinion on Bonaparte's ascension to the throne? "

After Walewski was silent for a moment, he shook his head and said: "Prince Albert didn't mention it!"

"British diplomacy is still so tactful!" Jerome Bonaparte let out a long sigh and shook his head.

"What's wrong? Did Prince Albert lie to us?" Valewski looked at Jerome Bonaparte in confusion.

"That's not the case!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head again, with a mocking look on his lips: "Britain has always hoped to maintain its transcendent status, and they will not reveal themselves until the last moment. Trump card! It doesn’t matter whether you want to play against the Russians or agree to me calling me emperor! They will leave some room for maneuver for themselves! This is the political law that Britain relies on to survive!"

Speaking of this, Jérôme Bonaparte thought of a later satirical play on Britain, "Yes, Minister". In this play, the British bureaucracy was profoundly explained. They would never go down personally until the last moment. Note.

"Then we..." Walewski paused and stopped abruptly.

"I didn't expect that group of Ansa people to give us a definite position!" Jérôme Bonaparte said nonchalantly. He balled his hands into a fist and waved them twice vigorously: "As long as we If we are strong enough, we can defeat everything!"

"I have always believed in this!" Walewski responded to Jérôme Bonaparte without being humble or condescending.

After Jerome Bonaparte and Valewski chatted again for a while, there was a knock on the door and it was heard that De Morny appeared and reported to Jerome Bonaparte the news of Princess Mathilde's arrival.

Jérôme Bonaparte showed an expression of resistance on his face: "Morny, my adopted brother! Can you please tell my sister that I have left the Tuileries Palace now! Let him get off Come here again!”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work!" Seeing Jerome Bonaparte's embarrassed expression, De Morny suppressed a smile and said to Jerome Bonaparte seriously: "The princess is already in the living room. Waiting for a long time…”

"No need! I'm already here!" Princess Mathilde's voice came from behind De Morny, looking for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com Jerome Bonaparte's expression became even more exciting, "Sister!"

"My noble Emperor!" Mathilde said in a weird French accent: "Do you really not want to see me?"

"No... of course not!" Jerome Bonaparte quickly shook his head and denied, "How could it be?"

"Then why are you avoiding me everywhere!" Princess Mathilde choked Jérôme Bonaparte dissatisfied.

Jerome Bonaparte could only listen obediently to Princess Mathilde's "reprimand".

Princess Mathilde first glanced at Valewski, then at De Morny, and said angrily: "I just want to ask you, when are you going to get engaged to someone!"
