Make France Great Again

Leopold II immediately asked Jerome Bonaparte how many countries participated in the monetary union he formed.

Jerome Bonaparte immediately responded: "In addition to you, the first countries to be invited include the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Principality of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Württemberg, as well as Sardinia and the Austrian Empire!"

After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's invitation list, Leopold II felt that Belgium's joining this monetary union did have some success.

However, at this time, he did not know that except for the Kingdom of Belgium, Jérôme Bonaparte had not notified the remaining countries at all. The European Monetary Union in his mouth was nothing more than an empty shelf.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely convince my father to join the monetary union you have established!" Leopold II said to Jerome Bonaparte solemnly: "Please believe that the Kingdom of Belgium will definitely Follow the footsteps of France!"

"With your words, I feel relieved!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and replied to Leopold II, "It's getting better soon. I wonder if you are interested in accompanying me. Let’s dine at the Tuileries Palace!”

"Of course!" Leopold II nodded to Jerome Bonaparte.

At the invitation of Jerome Bonaparte, Leopold II got on the carriage to the Tuileries Palace.

The carriage passed by and soon arrived at Tuyinleli Palace.

The two people who got off the carriage walked up the steps chatting and laughing. Mokar, who was standing in the hall, saw Jerome Bonaparte arriving and trotted up to him.

"This is Mokar!" Jérôme Bonaparte introduced to Leopold II: "If you need anything in Paris, you can call him at any time!

If he can't solve it, I'll solve it myself! "

"Mr. Mokar!" Leopold II nodded slightly to Mokar.

Although this was his second meeting with Mokar, this meeting was obviously different from the previous meeting.

"His Royal Highness Leopold!" Mokar responded humbly. He knew that Leopold II in front of him had been absorbed into the circle of the Tuileries Palace, just like the King of Württemberg and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. , "As long as you have one day in Paris, I will serve you wholeheartedly!"

"Thank you very much!" Leopold II nodded slightly.

"Mokar, is there anything to eat in the restaurant now?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Mokar again.

"Your Majesty, there is more!" Mokar replied.

"Then take us to the restaurant quickly and serve the food!" Jérôme Bonaparte ordered Mokar.

"As you command!"

Mokar brought Jérôme Bonaparte and Leopold II to the restaurant, and then personally poured them a glass of Bordeaux wine.

After finishing all this, Mokar left the restaurant, leaving only Jerome Bonaparte sitting in the main seat and Leopold II beside him in the entire restaurant.

"Leopold!" Jérôme Bonaparte glanced at the somewhat reserved Leopold. He raised his glass and said to Leopold II: "You should know the rules of the Tuileries Palace, right?" !”

Leopold II showed a blank expression, shook his head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I don't know!"

"The rules of the Tuileries Palace are..." Jérôme Bonaparte paused deliberately, "There are no rules!"

Leopold II had a look of astonishment on his face. Jérôme Bonaparte's words reminded him of the time when he was invited by King Louis Philippe of Orleans to visit Louis Philippe.

Louis Philippe's queen, Leopold II's maternal grandmother, also said the same thing.

At that time, she told Leopold II that the rules of the court of the Tuileries had ended with the end of orthodox Bourbon, and now there were not many rules in the new Bourbon.

But what he didn't expect was that the Bonaparte family, which had always been almost obsessed with imitating aristocratic etiquette, would also have "no rules."

"So, Leopold! You don't need to be so nervous in front of me!" Jerome Bonaparte tried his best to say to Leopold in a relaxed tone: "The age difference between the two of us is not It’s a big difference (12 years apart), you can definitely consider me a friend!”

"Yes!" Leopold II responded softly, and his slightly nervous mood began to relax.

As a young man in his early 20s, the complicated palace etiquette is simply a kind of torture.

"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte raised his glass and said to Leopold II, "Let's drink to the friendship between France and Belgium!"

Leopold II quickly picked up the wine glass and sent a blessing to Jerome Bonaparte.

After a glass of wine, the tense atmosphere gradually began to dissipate.

When Jerome Bonaparte picked up the wine bottle and prepared to pour another glass for Leopold II himself, Leopold II, who had quick eyes and quick hands, quickly brought the wine glass to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and then filled the glass with wine.

"Continued Cup!"

…

As one plate after another of delicacies was served, the wine in the glasses of Jérôme Bonaparte and Leopold II also continued to be washed.

After being tipsy, Jérôme Bonaparte and Leopold II gradually opened up the conversation. Gradually, the drunk Leopold II began to curse at Britain's obstruction of the Franco-Belgian Customs Union. Jerome Bonaparte also criticized the intervention of the British Kingdom together with Leopold II.

"What do you think of our two countries forming a coal and steel community?" Jérôme Bonaparte said, referring to the predecessor of the European Union.

"Your Majesty, what is the Coal and Steel Community?" Leopold asked curiously.

"The coal and steel in our two countries are all managed by a unified organization. This organization can control the production, investment, price and distribution rights of the summer in our two countries!" Jérôme Bonnard Ba explained this institution to Leopold II.

"Your Majesty, how is this organization organized?" Leopold II asked curiously.

"The appointments of the personnel of the organization are jointly elected by our two families..." Jérôme Bonaparte explained to Leopold II, copying all the charters of the later European Coal and Steel Community.

"Your Majesty, if there are only two of us in this organization, we probably won't be able to set it up at all!" Leopold II immediately realized that the organization Jérôme Bonaparte was talking about required the coordination of multiple countries. success.

"You are right!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded, "So I am planning to implement this coal and steel community plan after the monetary union is implemented!"

"Your Majesty, we are willing to join it!" Leopold II immediately replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"If you are willing, that would be great!" Jérôme Bonaparte was overjoyed. He did not expect that the organization that could only be accomplished after two world wars would be completed in just a few words. Oh, what a surprise!

Of course, what he didn't know was that in Leopold II's mind, the so-called Coal and Steel Community was just a replica of the unfinished Franco-Belgian Customs Union.

After the meal, Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Leopold II who was lying unconscious on the table with blurred eyes and said to Mokar, "Look at this Leopold, he is so shabby. No matter how much you drink, you’re already drunk!”

Mokar did not answer. He had stood quietly waiting for Jérôme Bonaparte's next order.

After a while, Jérôme Bonaparte slowly stood up and said to Mokar: "Please help me get Leopold II settled!"

"As you command!"

Morkar personally carried Leopold II away, and his colleagues sent a servant to support Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, are you going to Her Majesty Queen Augusta's room or another room?" the servant asked Jerome Bonaparte cautiously.

"Other rooms!" Jérôme Bonaparte said decisively to the servant.

With the support of his servants, Jérôme Bonaparte arrived at a bedroom in the Tuileries Palace.

Several servants carefully settled Jerome Bonaparte and left.

At 7 o'clock in the morning the next day, Jérôme Bonaparte opened his eyes and climbed out of bed.

At this time, his mind was still a little groggy. He immediately called the servants and asked them to prepare toiletries for him.

After a brief wash, Jérôme Bonaparte finally woke up a little.

Then he went downstairs alone for a walk in the gardens outside the Tuileries Palace. Here, he met Queen Caterina again.

At this time, Queen Caterina was walking in the garden of the Tuileries Palace like him. Jérôme Bonaparte quickly greeted her warmly: "Good morning, cousin!"

"Morning!" Queen Catalina's attitude was obviously not as enthusiastic as the last time, so she responded calmly.

"Cousin, who are you angry with?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked knowingly.

"No one was born!" Queen Caterina responded calmly again.

"Okay! Cousin, don't be angry!" Jérôme Bonaparte had to say softly, "I know you are angry that I invited Leopold II over!"

"No!" Queen Catalina stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Cousin, it's not that I don't want to agree to this! It's just that the impact of your doing this is too great!" Jerome Bonaparte explained to Queen Catalina earnestly: "Not to mention your annexation Whether it is legal in Belgium or not, the British Kingdom will definitely not allow you to do this!”
