Make France Great Again

"Dear citizens of Paris, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to spontaneously come to the Plaza de la Ville de Paris to participate in this welcoming ceremony held by me for my brother Franz Joseph and his fiancée..."

Jérôme Bonaparte, in front of the Place de Ville in Paris, said to the Parisian citizens in the open space in front of the square with a calm tone and a confident expression: "The Austrian Empire and the French Empire have been a pair since my uncle. Partners who support and help each other, we cannot forget the help that Prince Metternich and Emperor Franz gave us when the French nation was in the most difficult time... It is precisely because of their upright speech at the Congress of Vienna that our country, Only our nation can stand up as quickly as possible... Perhaps some of you will say that the Austrian Empire is also one of the countries that restricts France.

However, I would like to ask these busybodies who are trying to drive a wedge between France and Austria, compared with the pain Russia has caused to France, how much harm has Austria caused to France... (When Jérôme Bonaparte was in As he said each sentence, the Prussian Ambassador in the crowd changed his face.) Here, I sincerely say that between the two great countries of France and Austria, we can forget all the unhappiness in the past and join hands to enter a new era. chapter! "

As soon as Jérôme Bonaparte finished speaking, the crowd burst into warm applause.

Amid thunderous applause, Jerome Bonaparte bowed slightly to the Paris citizens present, then turned to Franz Joseph with a friendly smile, and stretched out his hand to invite Franz Joseph to speak.

Facing Jerome Bonaparte's invitation, Franz Joseph had no choice but to take out the speech he originally planned to deliver at the banquet.

I saw Franz Joseph walking slowly in front of Jerome Bonaparte and standing side by side with Jerome Bonaparte.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank each and every one of you for standing here and welcoming me and my fiancée! I am very happy to be invited by my brother, the Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte, to visit such a A country with a long history and prosperous culture..." Franz Joseph spoke to the residents of the Paris City Hall unhurriedly in a tone of respect but not dignity. From his mouth, you can tell that Franz. Joseph’s feelings for Paris seemed to come from his heart in every sentence, “When I first stepped into France, I felt the enthusiasm of the French people. This enthusiasm was shown in the way of reception, The reception I received in France far exceeded my expectations and made me feel both flattered and frightened.

I don’t know how I should respond to your enthusiasm, so I can only hope that you can go to Vienna one day, so that we Austrians will also have the opportunity to welcome you in the same way... I am extremely convinced, When it comes to hospitality, Austria is no match for France. "

Franz Joseph glanced at Jerome Bonaparte next to him, and said in a slightly humble tone to the Parisian citizens present: "I sincerely wish that your emperor and empress will be able to arrive in Paris one day! I believe The Austrian people will welcome your Emperor with even greater enthusiasm than you have welcomed me!"

After Franz Joseph finished speaking, he followed Jerome Bonaparte's example and bowed to the Paris citizens present.

In an instant, the applause from the entire Paris Town Hall Square came like a storm.

No matter how much people hate the autocratic empire, they cannot feel disgust towards the humble emperor in front of them at this time.

No one doesn't like to hear others praise themselves, especially when the person who says this is a monarch of another empire.

Of course, not everyone is willing to hear Franz Joseph's remarks.

On the edge of the square, the Prussian ambassador was looking sadly at Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph in the center of the Town Hall Square.

For the Prussian ambassador, nothing could be worse than the situation at hand.

Recently, the French Empire and the Austrian Empire are moving closer to each other at a speed visible to the naked eye, and are almost on the verge of forming an offensive and defensive alliance.

And Franz Joseph's bow just now was enough to make the Prussian ambassador feel that his world was about to collapse.

As we all know, the Habsburgs were a dynasty that advocated more orthodox order than the Kingdom of Prussia, and their new monarch was a monarch who firmly opposed compromise with the mob.

Such a reactionary monarch bowed before the most revolutionary citizens of Paris.

This also means that the contradiction between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire is far smaller than the needs of the alliance between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire.

In order to successfully form an alliance with the French Empire, the sliding door monarch was even willing to bow to the Paris "revolutionaries".

Once the Austrian Empire and the French Empire successfully form an alliance, the Kingdom of Prussia will never have room to stand up.

During the Napoleonic Wars, the influence of the French Imperial Army on the Kingdom of Prussia still remains. Many Prussian soldiers feared the French Army even more than the officer's whip.

Not to mention, all kinds of bad jokes were widely circulated in the Rhineland, which indirectly affected the morale of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Prussia towards the French army.

However, the Prussian ambassador did not know that the sponsor behind these rumpus jokes was Jérôme Bonaparte of the Tuileries Palace, and rumpus jokes were not only popular in the Rhineland, but also in the southern German states and the Kingdom of Hanover. Rupu is also popular.

Although the Prussian ambassador loves Prussia far more than Germany, it does not mean that the ambassador does not have a German dream. He himself hopes to establish a new German Confederation that excludes Austrian influence. The structure of this confederation is best to have the Kingdom of Prussia as its core.

…

Thinking of the possible impact on the Kingdom of Prussia after the alliance between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire, the Prussian ambassador felt like a thorn in his back.

Therefore, he decided to take advantage of the time when the two countries had not yet completely formed a close alliance to find Minister De Ruys, so that Minister Ruys could relieve his pressure, and by the way see if he could get help from De Ruys. The attitude of the French Empire was heard from the minister's mouth.

If the French Empire really intends to form an alliance with the Austrian Empire, then the Kingdom of Prussia must consider how to prevent the joint suppression of the Austrian Empire and the French Empire.

On the other hand, if the French Empire and the Austrian Empire are just playing along, then the Kingdom of Prussia will have an opportunity.

So the Prussian ambassador left the Hôtel de Ville in Paris to thunderous applause.

And his move happened to be fully visible to the ambassadors of the Kingdom of Württemberg and the Kingdom of Saxony, who were not far away from him.

"Where do you think the Prussian ambassador is going when he leaves in a hurry?" the King of Saxony asked the Württemberg ambassador next to him in a gloating tone.

As the ambassador of the Kingdom of Saxony who had some feud with the Kingdom of Prussia, no one was more willing to see the Kingdom of Prussia suffer than him.

"Probably the Quai d'Orsay (the location of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs)!" the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg said to the Saxon Ambassador unhurriedly.

"It seems that the alliance between His Majesty Franz and His Majesty Jerome has made the Kingdom of Prussia feel threatened!" the Saxon Ambassador continued to the Württemberg Ambassador.

"After all, the strongest army in Europe and the oldest family are united with each other. Which country is not afraid!" The Württemberg ambassador shrugged and said in his usual tone.

"Yes! The French Empire moved too fast in the Crimean Peninsula! I thought it would take a long time for the French Empire to occupy a city. Who knew..." The Saxon ambassador also sighed with emotion, Then the conversation changed and he said to the Württemberg Ambassador: "To be honest, I really envy you! The current Kingdom of Württemberg is probably the safest country in Europe! Once Queen Augusta becomes the emperor's heir, In the future, I am afraid that there will be no difference in Württemberg’s status for two generations! And His Majesty the Emperor’s love for Empress Augusta..."

Speaking of this, the Saxon ambassador showed a hint of envy in his eyes. He admired the Kingdom of Württemberg's huge gamble.

At that time, Jerome Bonaparte's position was not yet stable, and the unrest in various places had not yet subsided. Therefore, many people predicted that Jerome Bonaparte's empire might be overthrown by the next revolution at any time.

Therefore, not many people were willing to marry Jerome Bonaparte. The Kingdom of Württemberg was able to agree to the marriage under a lot of pressure, which really surprised the princes of the German region.

As time went by, Jerome Bonaparte's position was not overthrown as they predicted, but gradually stabilized.

The pressure on the Kingdom of Württemberg also gradually decreased with the stability of the French Empire. It was not until the beginning of the Crimean War that the pressure on the Kingdom of Württemberg completely disappeared, and a positive feedback situation emerged.

Many German countries had to indirectly express their goodwill to the French Empire through the Kingdom of Württemberg, so that the French Empire would not harm Chiyu.

When the French Empire's troops occupied Sevastopol, the Kingdom of Württemberg was regarded by the South German princes as the incarnation of the French Empire in Germany. The Kingdom of Württemberg prospered in the South German region.

"Nothing! This is just the love of His Majesty and the Queen!" the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg responded to the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saxony, then glanced at the Ambassador of Saxony and said: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, you didn't call me here specifically just for the sake of Say this!"
