Make France Great Again

"Your Excellency Ambassador, the purpose of calling me here is not just to talk about these things!"

The Prince of Württemberg looked at the Saxon ambassador in front of him with a half-smile.

If he (Ambassador Württemberg) guessed correctly, the Saxon ambassador in front of him most likely came to him because of the problems of the Russian Empire.

As for why the Württemberg ambassador was certain that the Saxon ambassador was here for Russian affairs, of course it was because the Saxon ambassador had a special status. He was the son-in-law of Nesserrodie, the current foreign minister of the Russian Empire.

There is no intersection between the two countries of Saxony and Württemberg. The "big brothers" behind their respective countries are now about to conclude an alliance, and there is no need for them to act as brokers to connect with each other.

Therefore, the Saxon ambassador could not have come for official business of the Kingdom of Saxony. The only possibility was that he had been entrusted by Nesserrodie to communicate with the French Empire and test the bottom line of peace in the French Empire.

Of course, Neserrodie's behavior was considered a normal thing in this era.

Gein's diplomatic field in this era was still occupied by nobles, and nobles were married to each other. Diplomacy through marriage relationships between nobles was also an important link.

"Of course this is just one aspect!" The Saxon ambassador did not show much embarrassment after being exposed by the Württemberg ambassador. He still showed a calm expression and said to the Württemberg ambassador: "Actually, I am following the order of my father-in-law. , a gift for the soon-to-be-born crown prince of Queen Augusta!"

"Then you should present it directly to His Majesty the Emperor!" The Württemberg ambassador responded to the Saxon ambassador with an expression of an old god: "I am just an ordinary Württemberg ambassador and I have no ability to help you at all! You It’s better to hire someone else!”

After speaking, the Württemberg Ambassador raised his hand to signal the conversation to stop.

"Mr. Ambassador, please wait!" The Saxon Ambassador ignored the diplomat's demeanor and grabbed the Saxon Ambassador's sleeve to prevent him from leaving. He flattered him and said to him: "Mr. Ambassador, if you hadn't stood up to everyone's objections, If the Queen is allowed to marry His Majesty, I am afraid that the Queen will not become one of the most noble people in Europe! Your kindness to the Emperor and the Queen is far beyond what ordinary people can match!"

"No matter how good my personal relationship with the Emperor and Queen is, I will always be the ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg, not the ambassador of the French Empire!" The Ambassador of Württemberg emphasized this, and then shrugged and revealed some information to the Ambassador of Saxony. : "And His Majesty Bonaparte himself is not willing to start peace talks now!"

"How do you say this?" the Saxon ambassador asked in a low voice.

Immediately afterwards, the Ambassador of Württemberg revealed to the Ambassador of Saxony the conversation he had with Jérôme Bonaparte by the fireplace some time ago when he visited Queen Augusta on behalf of the King of Württemberg.

The then Württemberg ambassador also politely asked Jérôme Bonaparte if he was willing to end the Crimean War.

If Jerome Bonaparte was willing to end the Crimean War, the Kingdom of Württemberg was willing to act as a peacemaker to convey the emperor's ideas to St. Petersburg.

If you don't want to, forget it.

Jérôme Bonaparte told the Württemberg ambassador that he was willing to open negotiations with the Russian Empire when the time was right, not now.

Now the Ambassador of Saxony wants to use his wife's diplomacy to build a channel for negotiations between France and Russia. Basically, the possibility of success is not high.

"Sir, my father-in-law also knows that peace talks with the French Empire are unlikely now!" The Saxon ambassador also responded to him: "I only hope that you can give His Majesty a message for me!"

"What are you talking about?" asked the ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg.

"My father-in-law said: Although France and Russia are at war, there is no hatred between the two countries!" The Saxon ambassador said to the Württemberg ambassador, while approaching the Württemberg ambassador, and then quietly slipped a gem the size of a duck egg. He put it quietly in the pocket of the Württemberg ambassador: "This is a gift prepared by my father-in-law for the soon-to-be-born crown prince. Please take me to forward it to Her Royal Highness the Queen."

The Saxon ambassador paused and then continued in a eloquent tone: "We will never forget your friendship and enthusiasm for us!"

When the Ambassador of Württemberg heard the Ambassador of Saxony talking about "friendship and warmth", his indifferent expression immediately relaxed.

[PS: Friendship and enthusiasm mean benefits. 】

"I can only say that we will do our best!" Ambassador Württemberg responded to Ambassador Saxony: "I can't guarantee whether this matter will be successful!"

"Please rest assured! Even if it fails, we are very grateful for your help!" Ambassador Saxony responded quickly.

"Okay!" The Saxon ambassador nodded and said, "I will tell Queen Augusta!"

"That'll be troublesome!"

…

While the Ambassador of Saxony and the Ambassador of Württemberg were conducting political transactions, the Prussian Ambassador, who had left the Plaza de Ville in Paris in a carriage, had also arrived near the Quai d'Orsay.

The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia, who entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was led by the State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the reception room on the second floor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Minister Ruiz is still in a meeting now, and it will take a while before I can talk to you! Please wait a moment!" the State Secretary said politely to the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia.

"When will the ongoing meeting with Minister Ruiz end?" the Prussian ambassador hurriedly asked.

"It will take about 10-20 minutes!" the State Secretary replied: "I don't know the specific time!"

"I understand!" The Prussian ambassador nodded, and then added: "Please be sure to tell Minister De Luys that I am waiting for him here when he leaves the meeting!"

"Please rest assured!" The State Secretary expressed to the Prussian Ambassador that he would tell him the news about the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia.

The State Secretary left the reception room and climbed up the stairs. He stopped at the minister's office on the top floor and opened the door of the minister's office. Foreign Minister De Ruys was in the office.

At this time, he was not in a meeting as the State Secretary said, but was sitting on the sofa and flipping through the files of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"What's wrong?" De Ruys raised his head when he heard the movement at the door and saw the Secretary of State gradually walking towards him.

"Your Excellency, I have followed your instructions and left the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia in the reception room, and told him that you are in a meeting and it will take 10-20 minutes to disperse!" The State Secretary told him what he said to the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia. If so, I repeated it again.

"Sure enough, it's here!" De Luys muttered in a low voice, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

Judging from the current time, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia obviously came here directly after leaving midway.

This also means that the Prussian ambassador's reaction to the alliance with France and Austria was even more excited than he imagined.

As a country's diplomatic ambassador, the most taboo thing is impulse. Every impulsive behavior will have a certain degree of impact on the country behind him.

Now De Luys only needs to hang the Prussian ambassador for a while, and the Prussian ambassador in the reception room will naturally become confused.

When the time comes, De Ruys will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if he talks to the Prussian ambassador again!

"Then call me in twenty-five minutes. I'll wait a minute!" De Ruys put down the file in his hand and gave the order to the Secretary of State.

"Yes!" the State Secretary responded quickly and left the minister's office.

…

Twenty-five minutes passed quickly, and De Ruys, who was sleeping lightly, was woken up from the sofa by the Secretary of State.

Under the leadership of the State Secretary, De Luys came to a room.

"The Prussian Ambassador is inside!" the Secretary of State said to De Ruys.

De Luys nodded, then opened the door and entered the room.

The Prussian ambassador, who was waiting in the reception room at this time, saw the door open and De Ruys appeared at the door, and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Ambassador, I kept you waiting for a long time!" De Luys said, pretending to be tired and holding the Prussian ambassador's hand.

"You are the one who worked really hard!" the Prussian ambassador said complimentarily: "I'm sorry that I called you over just after you finished the regular meeting!"

"Nothing!" De Luys waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "This is my job!"

De Ruys sat on the sofa with the Prussian ambassador. De Ruys asked the Prussian ambassador: "Is there anything you want to see me for?"

"Actually, it's nothing!" The Prussian ambassador first denied it flatly, and then asked Minister De Ruys why he did not go to the Paris City Hall to attend the meeting between the two monarchs.

De Ruys told the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia that he had no time to attend the ceremony because he was too busy.

"You have worked too hard!" The Prussian ambassador once again complimented De Ruys.

"Nothing!" Minister De Luys shook his head, and then continued: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, if you really have nothing to do, then I'll excuse you! After all, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with! "

Seeing that Minister De Ruys wanted to leave, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia had no choice but to say to De Ruys: "Actually, I do have something to talk to you about!"

"Mr. Ambassador, tell me!" De Ruys stopped and responded to the Prussian Ambassador with a smile.

"Your Excellency, there are all kinds of people in the world. They include upright ministers like you who maintain peace, and there are also thugs with evil intentions who want to cause greater turmoil for their own benefit..." The Prussian ambassador still used a vague Diplomatic discourse responds to de Luys.

"Mr. Ambassador, stop beating around the bush with me! What exactly do you want to say!" De Luys said to the Prussian Ambassador with a beard pretending to be impatient.

"If the Kingdom of Prussia wants to fight alongside the French Empire like Austria, will the French Empire be willing to accept the Kingdom of Prussia?"
