Make France Great Again

"The French Empire is willing to provide some help to the Austrian Empire within its capacity. The Austrian Empire only needs to be able to pay the interest!"

After Jerome Bonaparte said this sentence, Richard Metternich immediately realized that all the questions Jerome Bonaparte asked him before were all to prepare for this sentence. bedding.

As the monarch of a huge empire, Jerome Bonaparte ignored his own image and personally asked the Austrian Empire whether it was willing to "attract investment" (this term did not exist in this era), which really surprised Richard Metternich. I felt a little surprised.

However, Richard Metternich did not dislike Jerome Bonaparte's behavior that was full of copper odor.

In this era when capitalism was about to become monopolized in the 19th century, the power of money, represented by the exchanges (here, not just the Paris Exchange), had a faint tendency to compete with the royal power, even if it had a pedigree like the Austrian Empire. There is no way for the nobles to ignore the power of money.

Compared with a monarch like Jerome Bonaparte who smelled of copper, his own monarch Franz Joseph was like a monarch who came to Habsburg from the last century across time and space.

Richard Metternich can't see any trace of this era on his body, just like a zombie living in this era.

Although Richard Metternich felt ashamed in his heart for blaspheming the monarch, he had no intention of repenting at all.

Especially after he served as secretary of the Austrian Embassy in France, Richard Metternich became even more disgusted with the environment in the Vienna court.

The topic went off topic. Although Richard Metternich himself was not disgusted with Jérôme Bonaparte's behavior, he also did not have the conditions to "attract investment".

In the final analysis, he is nothing more than an ambassador, while Interior Minister Bach is the one who controls the lifeline of the entire Austrian economy.

At this moment, Richard Metternich had an urge to climb up at all costs.

Back then, Bach was just an ordinary lawyer (in 1848, Bach was still in the Austrian Empire). He was only favored by the late Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg (died in 1853). Climbed to the position of Home Secretary.

His conditions are much better than Bach's, and he deserves to climb to a wider sky.

"Ambassador Richard? Ambassador Richard?" Just as Richard Metternich was thinking about it, Gérault Bonaparte's voice reached Richard Metternich's ears and interrupted him. The imagination of Richard Metternich.

"Sorry! I was distracted!" Richard Metternich apologized to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Nothing!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and asked Richard Metternich again: "Mr. Richard, what do you think of what I just said?"

"Your Majesty, I think I am not qualified to discuss this issue!" Richard Metternich reiterated again: "Your Majesty, I am just an insignificant ambassador! You should send someone to ask Minister Bach about this issue!"

"Bach!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Richard Metternich with great interest: "If I remember correctly, he should not be a nobleman!"

"Yes!" Richard Metternich showed a hint of surprise on his face. He never thought that the emperor actually knew Bach.

"I have to say that he is indeed a rare talent. Under his splitting, the entire Kingdom of Hungary has been reduced to small pieces!" Jerome Bonaparte turned to Bach's Comments on the policy began: "The Bohemian bureaucrats he led controlled the power of the entire Hungarian region and strengthened Austria's control over Hungary!"

"If Minister Bach knows that he can be evaluated like this by you, he must be very happy!" Richard Metternich said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"But!" Jerome Bonaparte changed the topic and said to Richard Metternich: "His method certainly improves Austria's control over Hungary, but it also buries a hidden danger!"

"What hidden danger!" Richard Metternich asked subconsciously.

"He turned Vienna and Hungary into two opposing entities!" Jérôme Bonaparte sharply pointed out Minister Bach's fault: "Your high-pressure policy in Hungary is indeed helpful in managing Hungary, but it is a blindly high-pressure policy. It will only push those who originally love the empire to the opposite side.

A certain emperor once said, who is our enemy and who is our friend? This is the main question whether a regime can be sustained! "

Jérôme Bonaparte shamelessly copied the words of a great man decades in advance, and then made second magical changes.

Induced by Jerome Bonaparte, Richard Metternich subconsciously thought about the problems facing the Austrian Empire from the perspective of the Prime Minister.

Who are their friends? Who is their enemy?

Richard Metternich turned his attention to Jerome Bonaparte. He believed that the monarch in front of him must have seen the problems facing Hungary.

"Your Majesty, what is the problem we are facing in Hungary?" Richard Metternich asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"This question..." Jerome Bonaparte drawled, and under the hopeful gaze of Richard Metternich, he ended the topic with the sound of the train whistle in the distance: "The train is coming soon. Got it!"

Richard Metternich's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he regained his composure, straightened his body and showed a solemn expression to prepare himself to welcome the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph and Duchess Elisabeth.

General Vaillant, who was standing behind Jérôme Bonaparte, also turned around cautiously and waved to the adjutant behind him.

After the adjutant saw General Wayan's actions, he also waved back, and a military band walked onto the platform.

As time went by, the whistle of the train got closer and closer. Jérôme Bonaparte turned back and said calmly: "Get ready!"

After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's instructions, the military band put their mouths on the instruments. As soon as the train stopped, they began to play the passionate "Marseillaise".

When the train was less than 200 meters away from the platform, it slowed down slowly and then stopped smoothly in front of the platform.

As the train door opened, Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph and his fiancée, Duchess Elisabeth, stood up and walked slowly towards the train door. Behind them were the envoys who came with them this time. Regiment, including Prince Metternich (advisor), Prince Windischgratz (advisor), Count Bauer...etc.

The impassioned "La Marseillaise" sounded on the platform. This majestic tone was like a thunder piercing the hazy sky. Franz Joseph felt an inexplicable disgust and made him stop involuntarily.

"What's wrong?" As Franz Joseph's fiancée, Duchess Elisabeth asked softly after seeing Franz Joseph's current state.

Franz Joseph paused, then showed a stiff smile and said to Elizabeth: "Nothing! Let's go down!"

After speaking, Franz Joseph took another step and continued moving forward.

…

"Welcome to Paris! My brother!" Franz Joseph, who had just stepped out of the train gate, was immediately warmly embraced by the French Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte as a sign of friendship.

"Thank you!" Franz Joseph responded to Jerome Bonaparte as usual.

However, if you look carefully at Franz Joseph's eyes, you can find the resistance flashing in Franz Joseph's eyes. He really didn't want Jerome Bonaparte to use such a method. greet him.

In Franz Joseph's opinion, only orthodox monarchs can use this kind of etiquette, and the Bonaparte family itself is a usurper.

If the Austrian Empire had not relied on the loneliness of the French Empire, Franz Joseph would not have come over at all.

For Franz Joseph, this meeting was just a routine political meeting.

Moreover, he himself did not think that he could have any common characteristics with Jerome Bonaparte.

After the two monarchs hugged each other, they let go of each other at the same time.

"This journey has been really hard!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to the brother monarch in front of him hypocritically: "You didn't encounter any accidents along the way!"

Franz Joseph still had a dull expression. He shook his head and responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Nothing happened!"

Ever since Franz Joseph entered the French border, he had received strict protection along the way.

It was not until Franz Joseph and Elizabeth left Strasbourg by train that the officials and generals of Strasbourg breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, looked for Book Garden www.zhaoshuyuａ.com and then turned to look at Princess Elizabeth, who was wearing a white palace dress next to Franz Joseph.

At this time, Elizabeth was like a princess who ran away from a fairy tale world. Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but praise: "Which fairy tale world are you a princess from?"

"Your Majesty!" Princess Elizabeth bowed to Jerome Bonaparte with a bright smile and introduced herself to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Oh! It turns out to be Princess Elizabeth!" Jérôme Bonaparte applied with a look of surprise, then reached out and grabbed the back of Princess Sissi's hand and gently said: "Welcome to Paris!"

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte let go of Elizabeth's hand and said to the envoys behind him: "On behalf of all the cabinet members, the legislative group, the Senate, and the Senate, I welcome you all!"
