Make France Great Again

Chapter 154 The Insidious Prime Minister and the Adorable New Emperor

"Make France Great Again ()"!

After finding out the basic demands of both parties, the next negotiation will be a matter of course.

The two parties who were satisfied with the result changed the topic tacitly. During this period, Jerome Bonaparte discussed the existing problems in Rome with Baron Hubey, and hinted that the Austrian Empire could use its own influence to cooperate with the French Republic. Put pressure on the pope to force the pope to take a proper part of the political prisoners.

Baron Hubey neither agreed nor objected, he just told Jerome Bonaparte that this should be the responsibility of the Austrian ambassador to the Pope. However, he will pass on the opinion of France to Felix Schwarzenberg, Chancellor of the Austrian Empire.

On the occasion of parting, Jérôme Bonaparte shook hands cordially with Baron Hubey: "I hope that the friendship between the Austrian Empire and the French Republic will reach a new level in the years to come!"

"Your Excellency, I see that France is thriving under your wise command! The friendship between Austria and France will last forever!" Baron Hubey responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"For friends, we have fine wine to welcome! For enemies, we have shotguns! Under the witness of God, France will share weal and woe with his God allies!" Jerome Bonaparte made the final conclusion After speaking, he personally sent Baron Hubey to the carriage.

Jerome Bonaparte, who watched Baron Hubey leave, turned to ask Mokar beside him, "Mr. Mokar, are you interested in taking my place in Germany?"

Mokar, who followed Jerome Bonaparte, was startled for a moment, then suppressed his excitement and nodded in response: "It is my honor to be able to serve the president!"

"Tomorrow I will ask Tocqueville to prepare a letter of appointment appointing you as a special envoy! You take the letter of appointment to Germany!" Jerome Bonaparte gave orders to Mokar while walking towards the main hall of the Elysee Palace .

"Your Excellency, what do I need to do in the German region?" Mokar asked Jerome Bonaparte humbly.

Jerome Bonaparte stopped, and after thinking for a moment, he replied carefully: "You only need to preach European peace in the German region, and you don't need to say anything else!"

"Yes!" Mokar nodded in response.

"Go back and prepare first!" Jerome Bonaparte gave Mokar a half-day vacation and asked Mokar to go home and prepare.

On the other hand, Baron Hubey, who returned to the Austrian Embassy in France in a carriage, immediately sent a telegram to Austria.

The content of the telegram stated Jerome Bonaparte's appeal and Baron Hubey's opinion on Jerome Bonaparte's appeal.

"...Your Excellency, I think the top priority of the Austrian Empire is to destroy the prestige of Prussia so that it cannot compete with Austria in the German region. As for the territorial issue mentioned by Napoleon, the Empire can make appropriate compromises. We can first agree to his request Opinion, when the time is right, some adjustments can be made! Of course, my suggestion is that it is best not to regret it. The empire can hand over part of the Rhineland to France. First, it can properly weaken Prussia, and second, it can make the People in South Germany have a sense of crisis and are more closely united with us. Thirdly, it can also arouse the fear of France in other European countries, which is conducive to uniting other powers...

President Napoleon also talked about the issue of the Papal State. In my humble opinion, we should put appropriate pressure on the Pope so that France can clearly see our influence. Now part of the French army is trapped in Rome, and it is thanks to you, Prime Minister..."

[PS: Felix Schwarzenberg's original plan was to let Pius IX go to Austria, leaving France with a papal state without a pope, thus putting the French army in an embarrassing situation. Who knew that the Pope would rather go to the French Republic than abandon his own Rome and go to Austria. Schwarzenberg's plan was only half completed. 】

The telegram was quickly sent to Vienna via a small telegraph station specially set up by the embassy.

After receiving the message from Baron Hubey, the Vienna Telegraph Office quickly sent someone to Schönbrunn Palace to deliver the letter.

Office of the Prime Minister at Schönbrunn Palace.

Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg is sitting on the sofa, while the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph is sitting on the marching chair to his left.

In order to cater to this strict self-disciplined ascetic monarch, every room in the Schönbrunn Palace was equipped with a marching chair.

"Your Majesty!" Felix Schwarzenberg cautiously asked the 19-year-old emperor in front of him: "Is this meeting with King Frederick William (King of Prussia) still satisfactory to you? "

The meeting that Felix Schwarzenberg mentioned happened on September 1, when Frederick William IV, King of Prussia, and Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria met in Teplitzer, Kingdom of Bohemia. Hold a "family sex" meeting.

Since the participants in the meeting were all state leaders, and it was also a private gathering between monarchs, Felix Schwarzenberg was not qualified to participate in the meeting, so he had no way of knowing the content of the conversation.

It was not until Franz Joseph returned to Vienna from Bohemia that he made tentative inquiries.

"It's terrible!" Franz Joseph still faced Felix Schwarzenberg with a straight face, and his words were full of complaints: "King Frederick William begged me to respect the wishes of the Germans, They also said that Prussia wanted to make peace with Austria and together lead Germany forward."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Felix Schwarzenberg paused and reorganized his language: "Just like there are no two suns in the sky, there cannot be two leaders in Germany! If Prussia If both Germany and Austria act as the leaders of Germany, then the German region will definitely face the end of division.”

Franz Joseph nodded empathetically, and then said: "King Frederick William told me that Prussia can help Austria manage the problems of North Germany, and Austria can concentrate on managing South Germany."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!" Felix Schwarzenberg, who had the thought of "I want it all" in his bones, said to Franz Joseph: "Once the Prussian conspiracy succeeds, the entire German region will be plunged into chaos." Split! The Austrian Empire does not need and cannot retreat, we need to re-establish the old German Confederation, and then severely crush Prussia's delusion."

Franz Joseph asked in a low voice: "Prime Minister Felix, can we really win against Prussia?"

From 1848 to 1849, the weak army of the Austrian Empire really impressed Franz Joseph.

Facing Franz Joseph's questioning, Felix Schwarzenberg said unswervingly: "Your Majesty, I believe that our army will be able to crush the ambitions of the Kingdom of Prussia!"

While Felix Schwarzenberg was talking, there was another knock on the office door.

Felix Schwarzenberg glanced at Franz Joseph beside him.

Franz Joseph did not speak, but nodded slightly in agreement.

Felix Schwarzenberg, who had obtained permission from Franz Joseph, immediately responded to the door: "Please come in!"

"Your Excellency, from..." Secretary von Genz, who was holding a letterhead, was eager to report to Felix Schwarzenberg as soon as he entered the door, when he noticed Felix Schwarzenberg When Franz Joseph next to him, his expression froze for an instant, and he swallowed the words held in his throat.

"Continue!" Felix Schwarzenberg motioned for von Genz to continue reporting.

Von Genz swallowed, and responded with a serious expression: "Your Majesty Franz, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, this is a telegram from Baron Hubey!"

After finishing speaking, he handed the letterhead to Felix Schwarzenberg.

[Actually, this is a kind of political incorrectness. Von Genz, Felix Schwarzenberg, and Franz Joseph didn't care about this detail. 】

"Baron Hubey?" Franz Joseph asked suspiciously.

"Baron Hubey is the Austrian ambassador to France, and he is now seeking support in France!" Felix Schwarzenberg replied instead of von Genz.

Franz Joseph had a look of displeasure on his face, so he asked sharply: "Mr. Prime Minister, I remember that just a month ago, didn't you still say that France was an important enemy of the empire? seek their support?"

"Your Majesty, in the field of diplomacy, there have never been fixed friends, nor fixed enemies. Our foreign policy is based on the premise of safeguarding our own security and interests.

I said a month ago that the French Republic might become the enemy of the Empire, but this does not mean that we have to remain hostile to the French Republic.

Now, we have quelled the challenge of the Sardinian Dynasty and re-established the Sardinian Dynasty as a barrier between us and the French Republic, and our relationship with the French Republic has also been restored to the point where Sardinia has not yet rebelled Before that, the struggle with Prussia was the most important thing before us. Schwarzenberg reorganized the language, trying to make Franz Joseph understand why he "did not do what he said."

"Prime Minister Felix, you really look more and more like my teacher!" Franz Joseph repeated his comments to Felix Schwarzenberg more than a month ago.

"You are overrated!" Felix Schwarzenberg bowed to Franz Joseph, and then opened the folded letterhead.

"Your Majesty, the French Republic has conditionally agreed to our request!"
