Make France Great Again

"Ambassador Cowley, please be silent for now. Let me guess your purpose of coming to Tuyinley Palace?"

Jérôme Bonaparte responded preemptively, leaving Ambassador Cowley stunned.

After a few seconds, Ambassador Cowley reacted and smiled again, humbly responding: "Of course, Your Majesty!"

Jérôme Bonaparte frowned, pretending to be deep in thought, then raised his head again and responded to Ambassador Cowley: "If I guess correctly, the purpose of your coming to the Tuileries Palace is to borrow our railway to the Mediterranean!”

A flash of surprise flashed in Ambassador Cowley's eyes. Jerome Bonaparte's answer was indeed what the British side wanted him to do.

It’s just that Ambassador Cowley didn’t understand why Emperor Jerome Bonaparte knew the purpose of his coming to the Tuileries Palace!

Just as Ambassador Cowley was thinking, Jérôme Bonaparte's voice once again reached Ambassador Cowley's ears, "I guess you must be very confused now as to why I know your purpose!

I'm right! Ambassador Cowley! "

Ambassador Cowley, who came back to his senses, shook his head and responded against his will: "Your Majesty, I have no such idea!"

"Mr. Cowley, you are so dishonest!" Jerome Bonaparte complained in a low voice.

"I..." Ambassador Cowley was a little at a loss. He didn't know how to reply to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Forget it! That's what you diplomats are like! Only one sentence out of ten can be believed, and you can only believe half of it!

Half of the remaining nine sentences are lies, and the remaining four sentences are all nonsense!

I really don't know how you came up with all this nonsense..." Jérôme Bonaparte kept complaining to Ambassador Cowley, and Ambassador Cowley could only silently bear the pain from Jérôme. His Majesty the Emperor Bonaparte's "malice" towards them, the diplomats.

After Jerome Bonaparte finished complaining, Ambassador Cowley responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I am indeed here for this matter!"

Immediately, Ambassador Cowley told Jerome Bonaparte that he came here on the orders of the British Cabinet in the hope that the French Empire would allow the British Army to enter the territory of the French Empire and rely on the French Empire's railways to traverse the entire France.

"Ambassador Cowley, do you know how much harm it will cause to our citizens by allowing foreign troops to enter French territory!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Ambassador Cowley with a slightly sad and angry tone, "This may make them Reminds me of the scene of the fall of the First Empire!

This incident will cause an irreversible psychological shadow on the psyche of our country's citizens! "

After listening to Jérôme Bonaparte's speech, Ambassador Cowley only felt a little ridiculous.

I just wanted France to agree to use their railways to transport troops. How could it be related to the collapse of the First Empire?

What's even more ridiculous is that it has caused irreversible psychological shadow in the hearts of the people.

During the Crimean War, didn't the British army pass through with the same arrogance? Why didn't France cause the so-called psychological shadow at that time? Is there a time period for such things as psychological shadow? (Psychology had not yet begun to develop during this period.)

Ambassador Cowley couldn't help but complain a few words in his heart.

Although Jérôme Bonaparte's remarks were extremely absurd, Ambassador Cowley obtained key information through Jérôme Bonaparte's absurd remarks.

That is the issue of British transit. It is not that it cannot be discussed, but it must be discussed with conditions.

Otherwise, Jérôme Bonaparte would choose to reject them directly instead of giving lame excuses like now.

Nowadays, the priority of suppressing the Indian rebellion (the Great Revolt) takes precedence over all British actions.

As long as the conditions proposed by Emperor Jerome Bonaparte are within the tolerance of Britain... to be precise, they are within the tolerance of Ambassador Cowley and the cabinet behind him, then Ambassador Cowley can propose the conditions that Britain agrees to them.

"Your Majesty, I know that this matter is indeed not easy for your country!" Ambassador Cowley first followed Jerome Bonaparte's train of thought and then changed the subject to Jerome Bonaparte. He said: “But I hope that you will allow our troops to pass through your country to the Mediterranean for the sake of the fact that our two countries once fought side by side for liberalism in the Crimean Peninsula.”

Ambassador Cowley paused, and then said to Jerome Bonaparte: "I believe you should understand the dilemma that the British Kingdom is facing now!

The Indian region under our jurisdiction is being harmed by a small group of rebels, and we must send troops to suppress it as soon as possible!

As long as your majesty can agree to let us cross the border, we are willing to bear all the costs of crossing France! "

"What are you talking about!" Jérôme Bonaparte scolded Ambassador Cowley with a straight face, "Do you mean to say that France is so poor that it cannot even afford travel expenses? "

"Of course not!" Ambassador Cowley responded eloquently: "We just don't want to trouble our friends too much!"

"No trouble! No trouble at all!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and responded to Ambassador Cowley: "We in France are a hospitable country, and we can fully afford these expenses!"

"Your Majesty, do you agree with us to use the passage to go to India?" Ambassador Cowley asked Jerome Bonaparte excitedly.

"Agreed!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and said to Ambassador Cowley.

"Your Majesty, we will never forget your help to Britain!

France will be Britain's eternal friend! "Ambassador Cowley seemed particularly sincere at this moment.

"Friend!" Jerome Bonaparte's expression changed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Cowley, I would like to ask, what is the agreement between the Kingdom of Britain and the Kingdom of Morocco? This is not a friend. What should be done!”

Ambassador Cowley looked stunned. Before he could react, he hurriedly asked Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean?"

"Don't understand?" Jérôme Bonaparte continued to sneer, and then told Ambassador Cowley that the agreement signed between Britain and Morocco a few months ago has now been used by the Kingdom of Morocco as its own protective umbrella. Unscrupulously provoking the French Empire.

"This... there must be some misunderstanding!" Ambassador Cowley, who did not know the inside story, said intermittently to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding can there be?" Jérôme Bonaparte said through gritted teeth, and then took out a letter from the drawer, "This is written by the president of our business association in the Kingdom of Morocco to the embassy. Letter, now the embassy has handed the letter to me again!

Ambassador Cowley, take a look too! "

Ambassador Cowley opened the letter and read its contents line by line.

The president of the French Chamber of Commerce in the letter described the exploitation they suffered from local businessmen and bureaucrats in the Kingdom of Morocco. The local bureaucrats told the French Chamber of Commerce that the reason why they took action against them was entirely in accordance with the instructions from their superiors.

The people above said that the Kingdom of Morocco had surrendered to the Kingdom of Britain, so there was no need to fear the French Empire.

The letter also said that several French businessmen in Rabat had been forced to death!

After reading the letter, Ambassador Cowley hurriedly explained to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, these are personal actions of the Kingdom of Morocco and have nothing to do with the Kingdom of Britain!"

Jerome Bonaparte did not listen to Ambassador Cowley's explanation. He took out a second letter and placed it in front of Ambassador Cowley, "Mr. Cowley, this is a letter written by the church to me!"

Ambassador Cowley opened the letter again. The content of the letter was still a complaint against Morocco.

The French Church accuses the Kingdom of Morocco of persecuting their branch of the Jesuits in the Kingdom of Morocco. It also says that a group of extremists have massacred dozens of Moroccan Catholics and two priests in the countryside. The French Church hopes that France can severely punish those massacrers. And they know justice.

"Your Majesty, this is a religious vendetta and has nothing to do with us!" Ambassador Cowley explained to Jerome Bonaparte again.

"According to our investigation, those who claim to have been inspired by Abdul (the Sultan of Morocco)!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded nonchalantly, "He was not as brave as he is now!"

Ambassador Cowley understood that Jerome Bonaparte was saying that the Sultan of Morocco was under instructions from the British Kingdom.

To be honest, Ambassador Cowley did not expect that the Kingdom of Morocco would let itself go so freely.

In just a few months, they did so many outrageous things.

If this continues, the Kingdom of Britain may be dragged directly into the water by them.

Ambassador Cowley couldn't help complaining, it was the little (Wang) Tian (Ba) Cai (Dan) who signed the agreement with the Kingdom of Morocco.

"By the way, there is this!" Jerome Bonaparte handed Ambassador Cowley a letter again. In Ambassador Cowley's confused eyes, Jerome Bonaparte explained: "This is Algeria A letter from the Governor!”

Ambassador Cowley opened the letter again. The letter was written by Montauban, the Governor of Algeria, half a month ago. The content of the letter tells about the relationship between the Kingdom of Morocco and France a month ago, that is, one and a half months before Ambassador Cowley saw the letter. Some skirmishes between troops at the border.

The cause of the conflict was that a soldier from the French army did not return from an exercise. France requested the Kingdom of Morocco's army to allow them to cross the border to find someone. Unexpectedly, it was rejected by the Moroccan army, and friction immediately broke out between the two sides.

In the end, France easily defeated the Moroccan army and gained the right to enter the Moroccan border to search.

After a fruitless search, they returned to camp and the missing soldier returned that evening.

The matter should have come to an end here. Who would have thought that the Moroccan army, which held a grudge, unexpectedly attacked the French army while it was hot, causing one French soldier to die and six others to be injured.

Of course, the dozen or so people responsible for the sneak attack on France were all killed by them.
