Make France Great Again

Victor, the French ambassador to Sardinia, followed Jérôme Bonaparte's order and sent a telegram to the embassy in Vienna, hundreds of kilometers away.

The embassy in Vienna received the telegram half an hour later, and they immediately handed the contents of the telegram to the French ambassador to the Austrian Empire.

After seeing the telegram, the Austrian ambassador showed a solemn look on his face and asked the attaché beside him, "Quick! Prepare a carriage for me!"

"Yes!" After hearing the order, the attaché immediately started to take action, and soon a car was prepared for the Austrian ambassador.

The Austrian ambassador immediately left the embassy and set off in the carriage prepared for him by the equerry.

"Your Excellency, Ambassador, where are you going?" The driver driving the carriage asked the Austrian Ambassador's destination.

"Schönbrunn Palace!" the Austrian ambassador replied dully to the driver.

After hearing this, the driver quickly replied: "Okay! Sit tight!"

After saying that, the driver waved his whip and urged the horse to start moving, and the horse accelerated forward as expected.

Thanks to the skillful skills of the driver, the carriage quickly arrived at the square outside Schonbrunn Palace.

The Austrian ambassador, who got off the bus near the fountain in the square, quickly entered Schönbrunn Palace and found the director of Schönbrunn Palace who was responsible for arranging the emperor's itinerary.

"Mr. Ambassador, His Majesty the Emperor is currently talking to ambassadors from other countries! Please wait a moment!" Guan A, who was responsible for arranging the Emperor's itinerary, first showed an apologetic smile to the (French ambassador to) Austria, and then explained to him.

"Ambassadors from other countries." The French ambassador muttered in a low voice, and then asked in a low voice, "Mr. Butler, can you reveal some news to us!

His Majesty Franz Joseph, is communicating with the ambassador of which country! "

After the butler glanced at the French ambassador, he replied calmly, "It's okay to tell you! The person meeting your Majesty is the British ambassador!"

The French ambassador was stunned for a moment, and then showed a grateful look, "Thank you for your answer!"

"Nothing!" The butler shook his head, then flipped through a few pages of the itinerary and asked: "By the way! Mr. Ambassador, what are you doing here now? There is no news in my itinerary that you are going to meet with His Majesty today. !!Did you come to Schonbrunn Palace today on an impromptu basis?”

The French ambassador nodded and responded to the steward, "That's true! On the order of His Majesty the French Emperor Jerome Bonaparte, I submitted a telegram to His Majesty Franz Joseph!"

】

"Where is the telegram now?" the steward asked curiously.

The French ambassador pointed to his pocket and said with a serious expression, "I must see His Majesty Franz Joseph in person before I can submit this message to him!"

The steward invited the French Ambassador to sit down and responded to the French Ambassador, "You sit here for a while. When His Majesty is free, I will come and let you know!"

Of course, if there’s really something you can’t wait for! If you want to deal with the matter, you can wait for a while and come back! "

After the butler left, the French Ambassador sat quietly on the chair without saying a word.

The butler who left the room quickly walked to the room where Franz Joseph was talking with the British Ambassador.

At this moment, Franz Joseph, the Emperor of the Austrian Empire, was having a heated conversation with the British Ambassador.

The British ambassador expressed to Franz Joseph in an almost threatening tone the British Kingdom's recent dissatisfaction with the Austrian Empire's actions in the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Franz Joseph told the British ambassador in a calm tone that the reason why the Austrian Empire did this was entirely for the sake of the entire Apennine Peninsula. The Kingdom of Sardinia must control the extreme nationalities in the country under the supervision of the Austrian Empire. Isism is completely eradicated.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Sardinia has expelled all ultra-nationalists!" the British ambassador said to Franz Joseph, "The Austrian Empire does not need to make another trip to the Kingdom of Sardinia!"

"Your Excellency, Ambassador, arresting ultra-nationalists in Sardinia is like trying to catch a fish thief with a cat!" Franz Joseph replied righteously to the British Ambassador, "I have sufficient evidence. It shows that the ultra-nationalists in the Kingdom of Sardinia have an inseparable relationship with their government!

If we cannot reorganize the Kingdom of Sardinia, then these ultra-nationalists will resurgence! "

"Your Majesty, even if there is still extreme nationalism in the Kingdom of Sardinia, this cannot be a reason for the Austrian Empire to harm the sovereignty of other countries!" the British ambassador replied to Franz Joseph.

"Your Excellency Ambassador, why didn't you say this at that time a few years ago (1848)?" Franz Joseph asked with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"A few years ago? I don't understand what you mean?" the British ambassador said in confusion.

“When the Kingdom of Sardinia took the initiative to invade our lands of Lombardy and Venice in 1848, the attitude of the Kingdom of Britain seemed to be to persuade us to give up these two lands!” Franz Joseph replied to the British ambassador, “Why is Britain now? His attitude has changed 180 degrees again!

Why allow the Kingdom of Sardinia to invade us, but not allow me to take the initiative to take action against the Kingdom of Sardinia!

Is the British Kingdom's diplomatic strategy based on sacrificing the interests of the Austrian Empire? "

"No! We are not sacrificing the Austrian Empire, we are also doing this to maintain the balance of Europe!" The British Ambassador waved his hand and responded to Franz Joseph.

After hearing this, Franz Joseph even laughed angrily and said, "In the final analysis, Britain does not think that the balance of Europe can be maintained by sacrificing the Austrian Empire!

If Britain really thinks so, then I have to give the Kingdom of Sardinia a try! "

Seeing that the situation was gradually heading towards the brink of war, the British ambassador had no choice but to express tactfully that the British Kingdom had always valued the opinions of the Austrian Empire and hoped that the Austrian Empire could wholeheartedly safeguard the Treaty of 1815.

Franz Joseph once again said to the Kingdom of Britain, "The Treaty of 1815, Mr. Ambassador! Take a good look at it. Can the Treaty of 1815 still be used in Europe now?"

There was no Belgium in 1815. Finland and the new Kingdom of Poland were also under Russian rule.

Are you prepared to let the Netherlands annex the Kingdom of Belgium, Finland and the new Poland return to the Russian Empire? "

The British ambassador was speechless again. Surely he understood that it was basically impossible to ask all countries to comply with the 1815 Treaty?

However, the Conservative cabinet represented by Derby did not think so. The British ambassador also expressed the hope that the Austrian Empire would comply with the 1815 Treaty under the remote control of the Derby cabinet.

…

Just when the British Ambassador and Franz Joseph both fell silent, there was a knock on the door, and Franz Joseph said to the door, "Please come in!"

The butler entered the room with a cat's body, and then came to Franz Joseph's side.

"What's wrong?" Franz Joseph asked the steward.

"Your Majesty, the French Ambassador is here!" the steward whispered into Franz Joseph's ear.

"Okay! I understand!" Franz Joseph nodded and responded to the butler, "You go down first!"

After the butler left, the self-aware British Ambassador also understood that the time had come for him to leave.

"Mr. Ambassador, I have other important things to do, so I won't leave you alone!" Franz Joseph said to the British Ambassador without any apology on his face.

"Your Majesty, I hope you can think about it carefully!" The British Ambassador bowed to Franz Joseph again.

After the British Ambassador left, the steward appeared in front of Franz Joseph again and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to call the French Ambassador over now?"

"Okay!" Franz Joseph responded dully.

After receiving the order, the steward quickly returned to the French Ambassador's location and told the French Ambassador the news.

Under the leadership of the steward, the French Ambassador followed quietly behind him.

After a while, the butler suddenly stopped and turned to look at the French Ambassador and said, "Mr. Ambassador, His Majesty just had a very unpleasant encounter with the British Ambassador!

Your telegram must not be bad news! "

"Don't worry!" The French Ambassador smiled and responded to the butler, "My telegram will definitely satisfy His Majesty!"

"That's good!" The housekeeper nodded and continued to turn and move forward.

Soon, the two came to a room, and the steward said to the French Ambassador, "Your Majesty is inside!"

Saying yes, the butler opened the door, and the French ambassador quickly entered the room, then bowed to the monarch in the distance and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Mr. Ambassador!" Franz Joseph, who was sitting on the desk, glanced at him and extended his hand to invite, "Come and sit!"

"Yes!" The French ambassador quickly came to sit in front of Franz Joseph.

Then, Franz Joseph leaned back slightly, put on a relaxed posture and asked, "Tell me! What is going on?"

The French ambassador quickly took out the folded telegram from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Franz Joseph.

Franz Joseph picked up the telegram and opened it slowly while listening to the French ambassador say, "Your Majesty, my Lord Jerome Bonaparte hopes that you can go to Milan in the near future to discuss with him the settlement of the relationship between the Kingdom of Sardinia and The problem of the Apennines.”

Franz Joseph opened the telegram, lowered his head and read it carefully, then fell into deep thought.

I don’t know how long it took, but Franz Joseph raised his head again and said to the French Ambassador in a solemn tone, "Please tell your Majesty that I will go to Milan in person in the near future!"
