Make France Great Again

"Before the border military exercises, we can properly promote the friendship between France and Austria in Vienna, and imply that once the Austrian Empire is attacked, Britain and France will definitely help us resist the Russians! In this way, the Russian troops in the border areas They will definitely not attack us easily!"

Generally speaking, Metternich's approach still maintains the European balance of power idea during his administration, but Metternich's balance of power has changed from relying on Russia and defending against Russia to now relying on France and defending against Russia.

"This is indeed a good idea!" Franz Joseph nodded, and then told Prince Metternich about Jerome Bonaparte's guarantee.

"Your Majesty Jérôme Bonaparte can give you such a guarantee! It proves that he still maintains his original intention towards the alliance between France and Austria!" Prince Metternich said excitedly: "Your Majesty, as long as the French Empire is willing Join hands with the Austrian Empire to form an alliance, and then the empire’s security will be guaranteed!”

"But if one day Jerome Bonaparte takes action on the Apennine Peninsula, then we may be in danger!" Franz Joseph frowned and said to Prince Metternich.

Although Jerome Bonaparte repeatedly promised not to take the initiative to attack the Austrian Empire, Franz Joseph was still unwilling to believe Jerome Bonaparte's words.

Because the monarch's promise is the cheapest thing in the world, just like Franz Joseph could surrender to Britain and France without any guilt, he believed that in the face of sufficient interests, Jerome Bonaparte would also do the same without any guilt. Waging war with the Austrian Empire.

Regardless of the fact that Jerome Bonaparte preaches peace in every speech he gives, he seems to be a peace envoy with the common people in mind.

However, anyone who knows a little bit about the Crimean War will know that the reason why the Ottoman Empire issue turned into a war so quickly was not all due to the instigation of the French Empire.

It’s just that Nicholas I himself coveted Constantinople in the Ottoman Empire, and the British Kingdom (mainly Palmerston, Albert, and Russell) also wanted to take action against the greedy Russian Empire.

Therefore, what Jerome Bonaparte and his subordinates said in public that they hoped for peace in Europe were, in the eyes of the upper echelons of European countries, nothing more than a fig leaf for Jerome Bonaparte to maintain his righteousness!

"Your Majesty, we have no choice!" Prince Metternich repeated again with a heavy tone: "The power of the empire alone cannot resist the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, so we must rely on the French Empire!

If one day the French Empire becomes an enemy of the Empire, then..."

Prince Metternich kept silent, knowing that he no longer had to tell Franz Joseph about the outcome of the Austrian Empire.

"I know!" Franz Joseph muttered dejectedly. He understood that at this time, the empire could no longer find countries with no conflicts of interest as friends. They could only choose those with relatively minor conflicts among many conflicts of interests. countries as allies.

The conflict of interests between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire was precisely a relatively minor conflict of all. (In fact, the Anglo-Austrian conflict is also small, but the British Army cannot help the Austrian Empire.)

Whether the Kingdom of Prussia tries to dominate the German Confederation or the Russian Empire wants to establish a Slavic kingdom in the Balkans, it will be fatal to the Austrian Empire.

"Actually, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry!" Prince Metternich comforted Franz Joseph: "Since His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte is willing to lend us money, it shows that the French Empire is still unwilling to break with the Empire. !”

"I hope so!" Franz Joseph said with a forced smile to Prince Metternich. .

At this moment, there was another knock on the door.

"Who?" Franz Joseph shouted outside the room again.

"Your Majesty Franz, I am Mokar!" Mokar's voice came from outside the room.

"Come in!" Franz Joseph responded to Mokar.

After entering the room, Mokar first saluted Franz Woolf, and then told Franz Joseph that he had invited him to the studio on the order of Emperor Jerome Bonaparte.

"Jerome, is he back?" Franz Joseph asked Mokar.

"Your Majesty, he just came back!" Mokar responded to Franz Joseph.

Franz Joseph immediately got up from the sofa and went to the studio with Mokar.

When Franz Joseph arrived at the studio, Jerome Bonaparte, Augusta, and Elizabeth all took their poses. Elizabeth and Augusta were sitting on stools, and Jerome Bonaparte was standing. The position behind Augusta.

"Franz, come here quickly!" Jerome Bonaparte waved to Franz Joseph.

Franz Joseph took the opportunity to stand behind Elizabeth.

"It's time to start!" Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to Camille Corot, who was only a few steps away from him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Corot nodded and began to paint.

While he looked at Jérôme Bonaparte and others, he frowned and thought hard about how he could completely portray the charm of the two monarchs and the two queens on the canvas.

After thinking for a while, Corot looked at the window of the studio. He pointed at the window lattice and said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, can you please move there?"

"Of course!" Jérôme Bonaparte readily agreed to Corot's suggestion.

After a while, Jerome Bonaparte and others took up their postures again.

Corot also found inspiration. He took out the brush from the pen holder, dipped the brush in paint, and began to paint on the canvas.

As the brush continues to move on the canvas, a simple outline soon appears on the canvas. Gradually, the outline becomes clearer and clearer, and details gradually appear on the canvas.

As time went by, Corot's expressions gradually became richer as he was immersed in the field of painting. Sometimes he stopped to think deeply, and sometimes he moved like a dragon.

After about an hour and a half, Corot stopped painting. He put the brush into the pen holder and gently closed the paint.

"Is it over?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked quickly after seeing Corot packing his bags.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Corot nodded and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Let me see how the painting goes!" Jérôme Bonaparte said as he walked towards the direction of Corot.

"It's so beautiful!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded approvingly.

Jerome Bonaparte's perfection made Franz Joseph also interested, and he also stepped forward to watch.

In the oil painting, Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph are wearing gorgeous military uniforms and looking serious in a palace, as if they are thinking about a problem.

In front of them, Queen Augusta and Princess Elizabeth were sitting on the sofa wearing imperial court dresses, as if they were attending a gorgeous banquet.

At their feet are bouquets of flowers, which seem to symbolize prosperity, while behind them are clouds, smoke and fire, which also symbolize war and death.

Being able to paint two completely different feelings in one painting is indeed a testament to Corot's skills.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Jérôme Bonaparte once again expressed his gratitude to Corot.

"It is an honor for me to paint for these two monarchs!" Corot said respectfully.

After Corot left, Jérôme Bonaparte pointed to the canvas and said to Franz Joseph: "Consider this painting a gift from me too! Please accept it!"

Franz Joseph nodded.

Later, Jerome Bonaparte ordered his men to call a photographer, who set up a wooden camera in front of them.

Under Franz Joseph's curious gaze, Jerome Bonaparte explained to him the working principle of the camera.

[PS: Habsburg, as an extremely conservative court, while rejecting all useless innovations, also passed on conservative ideas to the next generation.

Therefore, Franz Joseph didn't know what the camera, a gadget that had been around for more than ten years, did.

However, it was only after the advent of the "iron plate method" that cameras were able to take photos that were no longer blurry]

"You mean this thing can replace a painter?" Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte, pointing to the camera.

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and replied to Franz Joseph: "He can shoot more realistic pictures, and it costs less time and money than a painter!"

"What will those painters do?" Franz Joseph thought of unemployment.

"Franz, the painter has no conflict with it!" Jerome Bonaparte replied seriously to Franz Joseph.

"Why doesn't it conflict? Doesn't it show a more realistic picture than the painter?" Franz Joseph said to Jerome Bonaparte. Find the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com

"Sometimes being too real is not a good thing!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a meaningful smile on his lips, "Besides, he and the painter serve completely different objects! The painter serves people like us people, and it will become a product that enters thousands of households.

Isn't the purpose of industrialization just to create a relatively wealthy world and enrich people's material lives?

I believe that one day in the future, people living on this earth will be able to send themselves to heaven by their own power to explore whether God exists.

You can also use your own power to dive into the deep sea to explore the unknown.

Franz, we must run. This world no longer allows us to stand still. Any stagnation means regression. "
