Make France Great Again

Chapter 421 Tactical Fraud

"Mr. Richard, please sit down!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

At the invitation of Jerome Bonaparte, Richard Metternich sat on the seat opposite Jerome Bonaparte, and between them was a desk made of mahogany. , the desk is filled with various documents.

After the two people sitting on the chairs were silent for a moment, Richard Metternich, who was slightly dull by nature, began to tentatively ask Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty , I heard that your country will have a big operation in the near future?"

Jérôme Bonaparte put his legs folded together back into a sitting posture, with a little surprise on his face, "Who told you?"

"Your Majesty, no one told me, everything is my own guess!" Richard Metternich responded "candidly" to Jerome Bonaparte.

"You are right! The French Empire is indeed preparing for an operation!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and replied to Richard Metternich.

Later, Richard Metternich asked Jérôme Bonaparte if it was convenient for him to reveal the content of the action.

Jérôme Bonaparte told Richard Metternich that the French Empire had asked the Russian Empire to evacuate the Danube Principality. If the Russian Empire was unwilling to agree, then a war would be waiting for the Russian Empire.

"Will the Kingdom of Britain join the Empire in this war?" Richard Metternich once again asked Jerome Bonaparte about the attitude of the Kingdom of Britain.

Jerome Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and told Richard Metternich in a helpless tone that although the Kingdom of Britain would join the war sooner or later, it was not now.

Immediately, Jerome Bonaparte complained about the inefficient government organization of the British Kingdom in front of Richard Metternich, saying that it took them three months to discuss a project that could be completed in three hours. things.

In each of these three months, the British government faced different resistances. The first month was the deliberations in the cabinet. The deliberations were bound to produce a variety of objections. Party leaders wanted to To maintain the balance of the party, and at the same time in order to win over some ministers who are not from the party, some positions must be given to these people. After the cabinet is formed, these people will become the royal opposition. In the second month after the cabinet meeting, when When the barely unanimous cabinet submits the proposal to the House of Lords, it will also encounter opposition from some arrogant members of the House of Lords. These objections will once again slow down the progress. The third month is the final agreement and implementation of the policy. On the other hand, at this stage, he not only had to obtain Queen Victoria's consent, but also learned the fledgling civil service system of family Britain.

What happens in these three hours is often just the cabinet prime minister wanting to add a "cook" to his residence in Downing Street.

Richard Metternich just smiled at Jerome Bonaparte's complaints. When he accompanied his father, Prince Metternich, to settle in Britain, he also felt the "much more flexibility" of the British civil service system. "change" characteristics.

Overall, it was not as bad as Jérôme Bonaparte said.

Considering the hundreds of years of "love-hate" between Britain and France, Metternich understood Jerome Bonaparte's heroic behavior.

"Britain's system is different from our two countries, so we need to give them a certain amount of time to react! As long as the British political elite's brains are not kissed hard by the door, they will soon join our ranks! Let's fight against the Russian Empire together Atrocities in the Danube Principality!”

Although Jérôme Bonaparte happily spoke English words in front of Richard Metternich, in his heart he did not dare to look down on Britain's elite politicians at all.

Although Britain, far away from the center of power on the European continent, cannot pursue hegemony on the European continent as happily as the French Empire, it can devote all its energy to building a world-wide navy.

Precisely because of Britain's special geographical location, Britain's fault tolerance rate is far greater than any other country on the European continent. Before the Royal Navy was completely defeated, Britain had enough opportunities to try detours that the European continent did not dare to try.

If the Royal Navy cannot effectively suppress the rising countries in Europe on that day, then Britain will completely decline. This decline is not only the decline of national power, but also the decline of talents and politicians.

In his previous life, Jerome Bonaparte had already seen a lot of jokes made by the British Kingdom.

British politicians of the 21st century are a far cry from their predecessors.

Britain is still at its peak, and both talents and politicians are in the stage of positive feedback.

Gusha/span Even if the efficiency of the British government is lower than that of the autocratic government, it can still take action before the situation completely leads to disaster.

Jérôme Bonaparte believed that once Britain learned that the Ottoman Empire had declared war on the Russian Empire and France had entered Varna, it would definitely abandon its hesitation and join the battle.

Weakening the Russian Empire echoes the interests of most European powers.

In the conversation with Richard Metternich, Jerome Bonaparte used the word "we" again and again, also with the intention of drawing the Austrian Empire into the war.

The secret of politics is to use the majority to isolate the minority when your friends do more and your opponents do less.

After hearing Jerome Bonaparte's "linguistic disorder", Richard Metternich quickly corrected Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, the Austrian Empire is not yet ready for a war against the Russian Empire. middle!"

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte's eyes showed a hint of hostility, and his tone became more and more rude: "Does it mean that the Austrian Empire has not given up on the Russian Empire? Or is it that your Austrian Empire is willing to be conquered by the entire Surrounded by Slavic peoples!”

In order to create a sense of urgency for Richard Metternich's Austrian Empire, Jerome Bonaparte also deliberately exaggerated the Slavic threat: "According to the information I have received, the Russian Imperial Army is preparing for a large-scale Slavic uprising. This uprising is likely to destroy the fragile balance in the Near East, thereby completing a series of chain reactions.

If Russia has malicious intentions, will the Slavic peoples in the Austrian Empire also heed their call and start taking action? By then, even if the Austrian Empire wanted to oppose the Russian Empire, it would not be able to! "

"I believe that Tsar Nicholas will consider it carefully!" Richard Metternich was a little unconfident. He could not guarantee that the Russian Empire would not use the method mentioned by Jerome Bonaparte.

"It is undoubtedly the most ridiculous thing to expect that arrogant Tsar to remain rational!" Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but sneered: "Besides, they can really control the Slavic people who have fallen into fanaticism. Really? Think about the disaster a few years ago!"

The "disaster" in Jerome Bonaparte's mouth refers to the European Revolution five years ago.

The raging wave of nationalism almost overturned the shabby little ship of Habsburg, and displacement became the norm for the great nobles at that time.

No one wants to go back to that crazy era!

"I...we are not like this, it's just..." Richard Metternich's face turned slightly pale. After a long time, he hesitated and responded: "It's just that Your Majesty, your speed is really beyond expectations." It’s beyond our expectations!”

Since the Russian Empire entered the Danube River Basin, the Austrian Empire has always wanted to expel the Russian Empire. However, its own lack of strength can only make them place their hope in France, using the power of France to mediate with the Russian Empire, forcing the Russian Empire to withdraw from the Danube River without bloodshed.

When Prince Metternich knew that Jerome Bonaparte was determined to defeat the Russian Empire, he could only give up his mediation and temporarily lean towards France.

However, what Richard Metternich and Prince Metternich did not expect was that the French Empire would declare war on the Russian Empire before the British Kingdom was fully prepared.

"Prepare? What else do we need to prepare? When we are preparing, the Russian Empire is also preparing!" Jerome Bonaparte said unceremoniously: "Do we have to wait until the soldiers of the Russian Empire cooperate with the Slavs? When we break through the Ottoman Empire's defenses, do we have to take action when the Russian Empire's soldiers march into Constantinople? I'm afraid that by that time, the Austrian Empire has already become a puppet of the Russian Empire."

Jerome Bonaparte paused, glanced at Richard Metternich, and then said: "We cannot let the Russian Empire have any luck. If the Austrian Empire If you join us in expressing your opposition to the Russian Empire’s occupation of the Danube, the Russian Empire will definitely retreat!”

"But, in this case, the Austrian Empire will immediately face the attack of the Russian Empire!" Richard Metternich's face turned slightly pale and he said to Jerome Bonaparte in a slightly excited tone.

"You will be rewarded for your efforts! The Austrian Empire will receive as much rewards as you pay. You can continue to be neutral, but I can guarantee that after this war, you will not get any benefits!" At this time! Jerome Bonaparte had changed his previous opening and began to directly threaten Richard Metternich.

Richard Metternich was very angry. If possible, he would like to kill Jerome Bonaparte now.

"Isn't France afraid that Austria will join the Russian Empire?"
