Make France Great Again

"Albert, you don't need to have such a big psychological burden, I will always stand with you!"

Queen Victoria grabbed Prince Albert's hand and spoke affectionately.

As the Queen of the British Kingdom, she could never speak ill of her subjects, so she could only be vague on this issue.

"Luckily you are there!" Prince Albert also understood Queen Victoria's difficulties and decided to cut off the topic.

After Queen Victoria and Prince Albert chatted with each other in the carriage for a while, the carriage slowly stopped.

The conductor outside the carriage spoke half-baked English to Queen Victoria and his wife in the carriage: "Your Majesty, we are here! You can get off the car!"

"Got it!" Queen Victoria responded loudly, then slightly adjusted her pleated dress and got out of the car with Albert.

After seeing Queen Victoria get out of the car, Mokar, who was in charge of the reception, hurriedly ran up to them and said: "Your Majesty, please follow me!"

Under the guidance of Mokar, Queen Victoria and his wife entered my castle near the Bois de Boulogne in the western suburbs of Paris.

"Your Majesty, please wait here with Her Majesty the Prince for a moment!" Mokar apologized to Queen Victoria and left.

After a while, Franz Joseph and Elizabeth also entered the castle.

At this time, Franz Joseph seemed to have forgotten his previous unhappiness during the military parade. He looked around the castle with a serious face, and then led Princess Elizabeth to the presence of Queen Victoria and his wife.

"Your Majesty the Queen!" Elizabeth saluted the Victoria couple in front of her.

"What a lovely princess!" Seeing Elizabeth who looked like a porcelain doll, Queen Victoria couldn't help but praise her, "Are you Franz Joseph's fiancée?"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Elizabeth nodded obediently and responded to Queen Victoria.

"I can see that your husband is quite discerning! He was able to choose you among many royal families! You are really beautiful!" Victoria commented on Elizabeth unconsciously.

"Dear!" Prince Albert's voice became slightly more serious. He was reminding Victoria to be careful.

"I'm so sorry!" Queen Victoria immediately realized that her behavior was somewhat offensive and quickly apologized to Franz Joseph and Elizabeth.

"Nothing!" Franz Joseph showed a generous smile and shook his head.

Afterwards, Prince Albert and Franz Joseph looked at each other in silence, while Queen Victoria grabbed Elizabeth's hand and took her to a secluded corner to talk about some private matters between girls.

During this period, Elizabeth peeked in the direction of Franz Joseph from time to time.

About twenty minutes later, the guests sent into the castle by Mokar already occupied one-third of the living room of the castle.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" Following Mokar's shout, Jerome Bonaparte appeared in the castle, and quickly came to Franz Joseph and Albert, inviting them to dine together.

The remaining guests also went to different rooms in the castle to have dinner under Mokar's arrangement.

When Jérôme Bonaparte, Franz Joseph, Elizabeth and Victoria entered a small restaurant on the right side of the castle's living room, they found the pregnant Queen Augusta sitting between two On the main seat of one of the dining tables (a dining table in the back room of the room).

"Your Majesty/Augusta, why are you here?" Elizabeth and Queen Victoria shouted at the same time.

"Didn't I come to accompany you? Princess Elizabeth, Your Majesty Victoria, come and sit!" Queen Augusta stood up carefully and extended an invitation to Elizabeth and Victoria.

"Be careful/be careful!" Elizabeth and Queen Victoria said to Augusta at the same time.

"I am not so delicate!" Augusta came to Elizabeth and Victoria's hands and sat down together. Then he glanced at Jérôme Bonaparte and others and scolded: "If you have anything you want to talk about, If so, you can go to the back room to discuss!"

After speaking, Augusta complained to Queen Victoria and the others: "They always like to discuss work matters during meals!"

"Yes!" Queen Victoria also echoed: "Obviously those things are boring things, but they can always discuss them with gusto! I really don't know what the point is!"

The criticisms of Queen Victoria and Augusta made Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Albert smile bitterly.

Of course, these two words also found a suitable reason for Jerome Bonaparte, Franz Joseph, and Albert to enter the back room.

"Since the ladies don't like us discussing issues at the dinner table, how about we leave this place to them and go to the back room to talk?" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and asked Franz Joseph and Albert.

"I agree!" Albert immediately agreed with Jerome Bonaparte's opinion.

"I... agree too!" Franz Joseph also nodded after hesitating for a moment.

Jérôme Bonaparte and the other three entered the back room and closed the door to the back room.

After Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Albert, who were sitting at the round table, looked at each other, Jerome Bonaparte said: "Franz, don't you have anything to say to me? "

"Why are there Russians in the military parade?" Franz Joseph frowned and said slowly.

Looking at the helpless Franz Joseph beside him, Jerome Bonaparte understood that the current Franz Joseph wanted to accuse him of betrayal and bringing down the Austrian Empire, but he was afraid that he would offend him and Albert too much. Special, thus falling into a state of isolation and helplessness.

"It is normal for Russians to appear in military parades!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Franz Joseph eloquently: "Just like the generals of ancient Rome who wanted to pull back the soldiers of the defeated country. Just like the exhibition in Rome, we also need to let people see what we did in Sevastopol."

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte with a hint of reproach in his tone.

Jerome Bonaparte responded to Franz I Joseph with an innocent face: "I thought you should know! This is how a military parade should be done!"

"That's right? This is how a military parade should be done!" Prince Albert also helped.

Facing the irrational words of Jerome Bonaparte and Albert, Franz Joseph felt humiliated in his heart.

"Franz, aren't you, the Austrian Empire, unwilling to stand with us and the Kingdom of Britain?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Franz Joseph pretending to be shocked.

"Of course not!" Although Franz Joseph felt resentful that Britain and France pushed him and the Austrian Empire into the pit of fire without notifying him, Franz Joseph still did not dare to face the anti-Russian political correctness. Britain and France do not stand together.

"Since the Austrian Empire has declared war and stands with us, why are you afraid of those Russian soldiers!" Jerome Bonaparte asked forcefully.

"We are not ready yet!" Franz Joseph replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Not prepared? Prepare for what?" Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds and asked Franz Joseph.

"We are not ready for a war with the Russian Empire!" Franz Joseph replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Our weapons and equipment are still in a state of upgrading, and our finances are almost bankrupt... …”

After Franz Joseph revealed his family fortune, Jerome Bonaparte and Albert looked at each other. Although they repeatedly lowered the expectations of the Austrian Empire, they really did not expect that the Austrian Empire's finances would actually be stretched. to this point.

"You are just mobilizing!" Albert responded to Franz Joseph in a disappointed tone.

"That mobilization cost the empire 50 million florens, plus the previous war with Prussia! Our finances will not be able to support a decent war in a short time!" Franz Joseph said dejectedly Jérôme Bonaparte said.

Prince Albert hurriedly asked Franz Joseph if he was willing to accept a loan for military use. The interest on the loan was lower than that on bonds.

"Mr. Albert! If the Kingdom of Britain is willing to lend us a loan to develop industry, we are willing to accept it! As for the military..." After Franz Joseph hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid we won't accept it. !”

"Industrial loans are not impossible!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Franz Joseph under the surprised gaze of Prince Albert: "How many loans does the Austrian Empire need?"

"3...500 million francs!" Franz Joseph responded to Jerome Bonaparte with five fingers. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan． com

"500 million francs! This is not a small sum!" Jerome Bonaparte pondered for a moment and then said to Franz Joseph: "France is willing to provide the Austrian Empire with a low-interest loan worth 500 million francs. ! However, part of the loan will be transferred to the Austrian Empire in the form of technology! I don’t know if the Austrian Empire is willing to accept it!"

Franz Joseph remembered what Prince Metternich had told him that industrialization requires not only capital, but also technology, and neither of them is sufficient. He nodded and replied: "Of course!"

"However, the Austrian Empire needs to agree to a condition for us!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Franz Joseph.

"What conditions?"
