Make France Great Again

Chapter 734 The ambitions of the Kingdom of the Netherlands

Bemini quickly expressed his position to Jérôme Bonaparte, and he would surely persuade the members of the Board of Directors of the Bank of France to continue to contribute to the prosperity of the empire.

"That's good!" Jerome Bonaparte yawned and stretched his arms and said: "That's all I have to say, I just don't know if you two have anything to add!"

Bemini and Magne shook their heads and said they had nothing else to add.

"Then let's do this for now!!" Jérôme Bonaparte said tactfully to Bemini and Magne.

Bemini and Magnet immediately stood up, bowed to Jérôme Bonaparte and left.

Shortly after Bemini and Magnet left, Jérôme Bonaparte also got up and went to Queen Augusta's bedroom to communicate with his son Friedrich.

Time passed by, and soon night fell. Candles were lit in the corridors and rooms of the Tuileries Palace. Under the light of candles and gold vessels, the Tuileries Palace looked particularly graceful and luxurious.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was sitting in a room, slowly placing Friedrich on the carpeted floor with his hands, while quietly listening to the National Intelligence Service sitting opposite him. Return of Dean Marcel Jerug.

After Marcel Jerug finished talking about all the domestic problems, Jerome Bonaparte nodded and asked him about the Russian Empire.

"Has Prince Golitsyn still had contact with you?"

Marcel Jerug shook his head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Not only did Duke Golitsyn no longer contact us, he also sent his third department to clear out our hidden lines lurking in St. Petersburg. .

Now the power we have developed in St. Petersburg is almost destroyed by Duke Golitsyn's relentless attack!

Only a handful of people escaped this sweep! "

As soon as Marcel Jerug finished speaking, Jerome Bonaparte sighed and said to Marcel Jerug: "Alas! Duke Golitsyn seems to be wary of us!"

Marcel Jerug remained silent, and Jérôme Bonaparte then asked: "By the way, can you now re-establish the organization that has collapsed in the Russian Empire!"

"Your Majesty, it may be difficult in a short time!" Marcel Jerug replied.

I think the reason why their power in the Russian Empire was able to develop rapidly was all due to the cooperation of Duke Golitsyn and the others.

The former rebels have now become regular members, so they naturally need to find new collaborators.

But how can a collaborator succeed so easily?

What's more, the person they have to face is Duke Golitsyn, who once escaped official pursuit of the Russian Empire as a rebel.

In history, after any rebel turned into a regular army, he would subconsciously prevent others from following his own path and overthrowing him.

Therefore, Duke Golitsyn was more difficult to deal with than the Tsarist government, and it was extremely difficult to develop suitable people under Duke Golitsyn's nose.

"Then don't be anxious!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Marcel Jerug.

Just when Jérôme Bonaparte was about to ask Marcel Jerugge other questions, he heard the sound of "beep babbling" in his ears.

Jérôme Bonaparte had no choice but to hold Frederic in his arms again (he seemed to have forgotten that Frederic was less than a month old), and used his hand as a cradle to gently rock it, "Go and check for me. one person!"

"Your Majesty, who is he?" Marcel Jerug immediately asked Jérôme Bonaparte.

"That was the guy I met on the train. Although I didn't know his name, I was sure that guy must have been a famous guy in Orleans.

And he should be familiar with Mignet and Thiers..." Jérôme Bonaparte expressed his impression of the old man in turn, "By the way, Minister Walewski seems to have met that man somewhere. The old man has met!

You can go and question him carefully! "

"Your Majesty, do you need me to use any props?" Marcel Jerug asked Jerome Bonaparte tactfully.

Jerome Bonaparte chuckled lightly and replied to Marcel Jerug: "No need! Just ask him to think more about where he met before!"

"Okay!" Marcel Jerug nodded and replied with one word to Jerome Bonaparte.

"By the way, you have to find this person as soon as possible!" Jerome Bonaparte warned again.

"What should I do after I find it?" Marcel Jerug continued to ask.

"Monitor him closely first to see who he has close contacts with!" Jérôme Bonaparte said: "Remember not to alarm him or follow him deliberately!"

"clear!"

In the next few days, Jerome Bonaparte methodically accepted the work at hand of Augusta and Princess Mathilde while preparing for the baptism.

In the past few days, Queen Caterina of the Netherlands, Crown Prince Leopold of Belgium, Maximilian of the Austrian Empire, former King Louis of Bavaria... and others arrived at the Tuileries Palace one after another. Jérôme Bonnet Ba and Princess Augusta arranged them in different residences according to their proximity.

For example, Caterina of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was arranged to live with Queen Augusta, and the Crown Prince of Sweden, the Duke of Canassa, and others were also arranged to live in the Tuileries Palace and the Louvre...

The Belgian Crown Prince and future "hand-chopping party" Leopold II and the former King of Bavaria were arranged at the Louvre Hotel.

After making arrangements, Jérôme Bonaparte first met with Queen Catherine of the Netherlands in the bedroom of Queen Augusta.

At this time, Queen Caterina was hugging Friedrich and talking to Augusta with a smile on her face. The appearance of Jerome Bonaparte made Caterina turn her attention to him.

She first glanced at Jérôme Bonaparte, then at Frederick Bonaparte, and couldn't help but nodded and said: "You two, father and son, are so similar!"

Not like me? Is he like Lao Wang next door?

Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still praised Queen Caterina with a smile on his face: "Cousin, you have such a good eye!"

After greeting each other for a while, Jérôme Bonaparte and Queen Caterina officially got down to business. .

Queen Caterina first apologized for her husband not coming, and at the same time praised Jérôme Bonaparte as a man who was not inferior to Emperor Napoleon.

Jérôme Bonaparte humbly told Queen Caterina that he was still far from Emperor Napoleon.

Queen Caterina went on to say that in her opinion, Jérôme Bonaparte, the former Emperor Napoleon, had only to expand his territory.

Jérôme Bonaparte followed Queen Caterina's thoughts and sighed at the same time: Where is the opportunity to expand territory in Europe now? Many countries have always been very wary of France. The last time was Luxembourg. incident, if the French army had not been stationed in the Principality of Luxembourg as an established fact, I am afraid that even if they signed an agreement with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, it would be difficult to capture Luxembourg.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Queen Caterina and King William for taking care of them. He assured Queen Caterina that as long as the French Empire still existed in Europe, he would not let anyone harm the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

After Caterina heard Jerome Bonaparte's guarantee, she felt like she had taken a reassurance. She believed that Jerome Bonaparte would not break his promise on this issue.

Therefore, Queen Caterina boldly told Jérôme Bonaparte that the territories that had been demarcated by European countries could not be moved, but certain disputed territories were a good excuse.

If France is willing to help countries in disputed territories to achieve justice, then the country that obtains justice will definitely give France a reward that it believes in.

"Cousin, what do you mean by this? Why can't I understand?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Queen Caterina pretending to be confused.

"What I mean is that we have some disputes with the Kingdom of Belgium!" Queen Caterina simply said: "So, I think France can help us on this issue!"

"Cousin, haven't you already renounced the Kingdom of Belgium?" Jerome Bonaparte asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

Although the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Belgium were indeed one country before, they had separated more than 20 years ago in 1830.

Moreover, in 1839, the Kingdom of the Netherlands recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Belgium. (The Kingdom of Orleans owes most of its assistance)

Isn't it a bit too unkind to backhandedly refuse to recognize the independence of the Kingdom of Belgium now?

"If you give up, can't you get it back?" Queen Caterina confidently said to Jérôme Bonaparte: "The land in Belgium was originally obtained through territorial exchange. Why do they say independence is enough?" Independent!"

Although Queen Catalina's words may sound a little unreasonable at first, but upon reflection, they do make some sense.

Although the independence of the Kingdom of Belgium was caused by the oppression of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the subsequent independence movement was completed by some French regular troops under the banner of volunteers. Search for books www.zhaoshuyuaan.com (Father of Belgium)

If the Kingdom of Orleans was still there, Jerome Bonaparte's brother-in-law William could only swallow his anger, and the entire Dutch government would not dare to have any thoughts about Belgium.

Now the Kingdom of Orleans is gone, replaced by the Second Empire that is close to them.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands became enthusiastic about the idea of ​​reconquering Belgium.

"Cousin... no, His Majesty the Emperor Jerome Bonaparte!" Queen Caterina said to Jerome Friction using the honorific title.

"We are all one family, you should call me cousin!" Jérôme Bonaparte hurriedly said to Caterina.

"Cousin, you don't want to see the remnants of the Orleans family occupying the position of the Kingdom of Belgium!"
