Make France Great Again

After Albert and Jerome Bonaparte made an agreement to drag Franz Joseph into the water, Jerome Bonaparte said to Albert: "Once Nicholas I orders his soldiers After attacking the Sevastopol Fortress at all costs, there is only one thing we need to do, and that is to delay the defense of Sevastopol until winter! Let those Slavs also feel the severe cold of Crimea , when they want to retreat, we will send out troops to cut off their road to the hinterland of the Russian Empire! This is called closing the door and beating the dogs! "

After listening to Jérôme Bonaparte's description, Albert suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

Jerome Bonaparte's battle plan of closing the door and beating the dogs is indeed much more reasonable than the opening of the second (Sweden) and third battlefield (Caucasus) discussed by the cabinet.

After all, Britain itself doesn't have much manpower to spare.

The current plan for a large army of more than 100,000 people drawn up by the British War Department actually amounts to less than 40,000 people.

It is impossible for these troops to bear the heavy responsibility of opening up new battlefields. At best, they can only fill the British army that suffered serious losses in the Crimean Peninsula.

You know, Commander Raglan sends a message to London every two or three days to replenish troops. At present, the cabinet is already troubled by Commander Raglan.

Therefore, a few days ago in Palmerston, a cabinet meeting had to be held to discuss the issue of Britain's military strength. At that meeting, the War Minister Duke of Newcastle's plan to recruit mercenaries was unanimously approved by the cabinet ministers. , the Duke of Newcastle planned to recruit a group of German mercenaries in the German region, especially Hesse, to fight for the Kingdom of Britain.

They hope that the Hessian mercenaries they recruit can be as loyal and reliable as the Hessian mercenaries during the Napoleonic Wars!

However, no one, including the Duke of Newcastle, realized that the era of Hessian mercenaries had passed.

With the advancement of technology, Hessians who were once impoverished can now go to work in wealthy areas such as the Rhineland.

As long as they save a ticket to the New World, the Germans can leave the severely involuted German region and go to the New World they dream of.

In the New World, they no longer have to suffer from layers of exploitation by local princes. Those with a little more courage can even establish a foundation in the New World.

With the New World as an option, few people are willing to serve as thugs in the British Kingdom.

After all, the British Kingdom treats its soldiers like animals... No, it should be said that it is worse than treating animals. At the very least, animals need to be well fed and fed in order to be productive. The food of those mercenaries is even better than that of animals. The regular army of the British Kingdom is even worse. As long as it temporarily eats immortal food, it can become food for mercenaries and regular soldiers.

Precisely because the British Kingdom itself could not recruit enough suitable people to join the army, and Albert himself was a potential German nationalist (Albert's German national sentiments were under British interests), it was difficult for Palmerston to recruit fellow soldiers. It was unpleasant to serve as cannon fodder for the Hessians in Germany.

Therefore, Prince Albert immediately approved of Jérôme Bonaparte's tactics of attrition. However, Prince Albert also hinted to Jerome Bonaparte that the royal family could not immediately clearly express its support for France's opinions. France needed to put pressure on the British cabinet through Raglan, and then the royal family would assist.

"Only in this way will our stubborn Palmerston change his views!" Prince Albert responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a shrug.

"I know!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and replied to Prince Albert.

"By the way! How are you going to appease Franz Joseph? It's not very comfortable for anyone to be used as a gunman!" Prince Albert asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"I think if our two countries each provide a loan to the Austrian Empire, the Austrian Empire should bear it for the sake of money!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Albert.

"Provide loans?" Prince Albert asked Jerome Bonaparte doubtfully: "Are you sure that the Austrian Empire still has the ability to repay its debts?"

"There should be!" Jerome Bonaparte deliberately said to Prince Albert in an uncertain tone: "After all, the market of the Austrian Empire is not too small, and the ability to repay debts should still be there!"

"Although the territory of the Austrian Empire is large, their market is very small, and many people are tied to the land!" Albert was obviously not too concerned about investing in the Austrian Empire.

During the Napoleonic Wars, the Habsburg Kingdom cheated Britain because of its debt problem.

Today, the Austrian Empire still owes the Kingdom of Britain a large sum of money that has not yet been repaid.

It can be said that the British government had a crisis of confidence in the Austrian imperial government.

"We can designate loans to specific areas!" Jérôme Bonaparte hurriedly responded to Albert: "For example: railways and infrastructure construction! No country can give up on the construction of these two items. And maintenance! We just need to leave the market at the right time, then not only will nothing happen to us, but we will also be able to make a lot of money!"

"You mean railway speculation?" Prince Albert immediately understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant.

"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and replied to Prince Albert.

"This is indeed a good project!" After Prince Albert thought carefully for a moment, he raised his head again and responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "It depends on the situation! If Franz Joseph really resists If so, then we’ll tell him about the loan!”

Subsequently, Jérôme Bonaparte and Prince Albert discussed the issues of Sweden, Denmark (preparatory to say, Germany) and the Apennine Peninsula. After the two sides exchanged views, they agreed that Sweden, Denmark, and the Apennine issue It is better to maintain the status quo.

Finally, Prince Albert got up and prepared to return to the Louvre. Jérôme Bonaparte also got up and sent Prince Albert out of the Elysee Palace.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who watched Prince Albert's carriage leave the Elysée Palace, was about to return to the Tuileries Palace in a carriage when Mokar appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte and asked Jérôme Bonaparte. Bonaparte reported: "Your Majesty, while you were talking to Prince Albert, Mr. Cavour of the Kingdom of Sardinia came to see you!"

"Cavour?" Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, and then said with a headache expression: "What does he want to do?"

Although Jerome Bonaparte is not prepared to help Cavour unify the Apennine Peninsula, this does not mean that Jerome Bonaparte does not want Sardinia as his little brother!

The existence of Sardinia can be said to be a nail buried in the Apennines by Jerome Bonaparte. The purpose is to warn the Austrian Empire not to think about going against France, otherwise Sardinia will lead France into the Apennines and sweep across the entire Apennine Peninsula.

How to use Sardinia while not being bound by Sardinia is indeed a problem.

Especially when faced with a talent like Cavour who is proficient in both foreign affairs and domestic affairs.

If Cavour were not in Sardinia, his stage might be even broader than it is now.

"Where is Cavour now?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Mokar.

"Mr. Cavour said that he is now waiting for your summons at Princess Mathilde's mansion!" Mokar said to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"My sister!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head again and sighed, "Forget it, I won't go back! Take advantage of this time to meet our guests from afar! Let's go to my sister's mansion. !”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mokar responded quickly.

The carriage carried Jérôme Bonaparte to Mathilde's mansion.

…

Jérôme Bonaparte, who got off the bus in front of the mansion, went straight to the door of the mansion and knocked gently.

"Who?" the voice of the mansion maid came from outside the door.

"Open the door quickly, I am an admirer of Princess Mathilde!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to the door in a sharp voice.

"You are late, the princess is holding a salon!" the maid inside the door responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"I don't care! I just want to see the princess!" Jérôme Bonaparte continued to scream in a funny voice.

"Why are you so ungrateful!" The maid's voice came closer and closer, and the door opened: "I'm not afraid to tell you... Your Majesty!"

The angry maid discovered that the person standing outside was none other than Jérôme Bonaparte, and her original anger immediately turned into fear.

Oh my God! What did I just do!

"Hush!" Jérôme Bonaparte made a gesture of silence, and then asked the maid: "Mr. Cavour is in there now!"

"Yes!" the maid nodded quickly in response.

It can be said that the maid still vividly remembers the overweight gentleman.

"Then take me to an empty room first, and then quietly tell my sister that I want to meet Cavour and ask her to call Cavour out! Do you understand?" Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered the maid word by word.

The maid nodded, and then took Jérôme Bonaparte to an empty room: "Your Majesty, please wait here for a moment!"

Immediately, the maid left Jerome Bonaparte's room and went to the room where Princess Mathilde was.

At this time, the gentlemen and ladies surrounding Princess Mathilde were quietly listening to Princess Mathilde's comments on Parisian literature. The sound of the maid pushing open the door attracted everyone's attention.

"What happened?" Princess Mathilde stopped her comments and asked the maid.

The maid came to Princess Mathilde, leaned into Princess Mathilde's ear and told Princess Mathilde what Jérôme Bonaparte told her.

"Everyone, please wait a moment!" Princess Mathilde paused the ongoing book review, and then turned her attention to Cavour: "Mr. Cavour, can you come out with me for a moment!"
