Make France Great Again

Chapter 447: Imperialist “Friendship”

"In terms of military expenditures and weapons and equipment..."

The French ambassador showed hesitation on his face, and he obviously wanted the Sardinian Dynasty to bring their own dry food.

"We can prepare!" Cavour responded immediately.

The French ambassador was moved by Cavour's act of bringing his own rations to serve imperialism. He once again told Cavour that he would convey the Kingdom of Sardinia's desire to repay his father to Paris, and he also believed in the French Empire. The Kingdom of Sardinia will definitely agree to join the ranks of declaring war on Russia.

After that, the French ambassador talked with the Kingdom of Sardinia about many humanistic and historical stories. Cavour talked about the origin of the Apennine Peninsula to the rise and division of the Roman Empire, and then talked about the political structure of the modern Apennine Peninsula. All reveal the desire for the unification of the Apennine Peninsula.

At the same time, Cavour also hinted to the French ambassador: If the Sardinian Dynasty is lucky enough to liberate Lombardy and Venice from the hands of the Austrian Empire with the help of the French Empire, the Sardinian Dynasty is willing to pay all costs, including the French Empire’s territorial claims. Require.

Cavour believed that Jérôme Bonaparte, who claimed to be the successor of the First Empire, would never give up the expansion of natural territories. Nice and Savoy were one of his bargaining chips to attract Jérôme Bonaparte.

However, Cavour hinted that he had not received any positive feedback from the French ambassador. As one of the most capable men under Jérôme Bonaparte’s favored Foreign Minister De Ruys, he knew very well that his boss had a negative attitude towards Europe. With a balanced emphasis, Cavour's idea simply could not pass in the hands of De Luys.

Unless Cavour can directly convey his ideas to the emperor through some channel, the French ambassador, who adheres to the idea of ​​​​doing more and making fewer mistakes, decided that he would never do anything before receiving clear instructions from the emperor. Will act rashly.

Regarding Cavour's hint, the French ambassador just ignored him.

The French ambassador's non-stick attitude slightly disappointed Cavour, but fortunately, Cavour still had a trump card that he had not yet used.

That is the cousin lurking next to Jérôme Bonaparte. From the scattered news coming from Paris, we can know that the cousin has completely gained the trust of the emperor and the queen. Now it is the cousin who is needed to "serve the country." It's time.

At this time, Cavour did not know that his cousin Vernia had long been a traitor to the Sardinian dynasty.

However, under the influence of the National Intelligence Service's Internal Intelligence Agency, only a few nails were left in the intelligence network, and the real news was impossible to obtain. (Those nails were left behind by Marcel Jerug specifically for fishing and law enforcement purposes.)

After returning to his residence, Cavour immediately wrote a letter in his study, in which he wrote down everything he said at the French Embassy.

At the end of the letter, he also asked Vernia to please the French Emperor as much as possible and not to be petty. Whether Lombardy and Venice can escape from Austria's clutches depends on Vernia.

After writing the letter, Cavour checked the content of the letter again to see if there were any inappropriate words. After checking it three times, Cavour folded the letter and stuffed it into a specially made old envelope, and handed the letter to His most loyal servant, specifically asked him to deliver the letter intact to the contact point at all costs.

The trusted servant solemnly held the letter in his arms and promised Cavour that the letter would be delivered.

Immediately, he left Cavour's room at night, left Turin, and headed for Paris.

Cavour stood on the balcony with his hands hanging on the iron fence, watching the servants leave until they completely disappeared into the night. Then he raised his head and glanced at the dark sky and stars in the distance, and suddenly a shooting star appeared. Skimming from the distant sky, Cavour quickly closed his eyes and prayed. He was praying for the success of his next actions.

Just as Cavour was praying for the smooth progress of the plan, located in the French Embassy in Sardinia, the French Ambassador was ordering the telegraph workers in the embassy to send a telegram to Paris.

The content of the telegram was the topic that Cavour discussed with him this afternoon. Out of support for his own leadership, the French ambassador did not include any hints after Cavour in the telegram.

After the telegram was sent to Paris via telegraph operators, members of the Paris telegraph office quickly copied it and handed it over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The State Secretary stationed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also immediately found Minister De Ruys who was "fooling around" in the opera house. After learning the contents of the Sardinian dynasty's telegram, De Ruys immediately said in a casual manner: Sardinia The Ding Dynasty's telegram can be put aside for a while and then submitted to Jérôme Bonaparte tomorrow.

After hearing De Luys' remarks, the State Secretary relaxed and returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After a short and crazy night, De Ruys still maintained high energy and went to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As usual, the State Secretary told De Ruys his work schedule for the day.

De Ruys nodded after hearing the report from the State Secretary, and asked where the telegram sent by the Sardinian Embassy yesterday was now.

Gu Yue/span Then, the State Secretary took out yesterday’s telegram and placed it in front of De Luys. After reading the contents of the telegram, De Luys became solemn and immediately ordered the State Secretary to prepare a carriage for him. , he was going to the Tuileries Palace with the message.

As soon as De Ruys' order was issued, the Secretary of State immediately took action. When De Ruys slowly walked downstairs and walked out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a black open carriage was heard at the foot of the steps.

De Ruys ran to the carriage in three steps at a time. The State Secretary standing next to the carriage opened the door. De Ruys entered the carriage and closed the door.

The carriage galloped along the Seine River. It walked straight along the Seine River and soon arrived at the intersection of the Champs-Elysees Avenue and Rival Street. The crowd also increased, and the carriage couldn't help but slow down. .

About five minutes later, De Ruys arrived at the gate of the Tuileries Palace.

De Luys jumped down from the carriage and quickly entered the hall of the Tuileries Palace, where he met Mokar.

Under the leadership of Mokar, De Ruys arrived at Jérôme Bonaparte's study.

Looking at the unexpected foreign minister in front of him, Jérôme Bonaparte, who was about to "steal half a day's leisure", showed surprise.

De Luys, who entered the study, immediately told Jérôme Bonaparte what the French Embassy had reported, and placed the French Embassy's telegram on Jérôme Bonaparte's brown-red paint job. pine wood desk.

Jerome Bonaparte, who carefully read the contents of the telegram, put down the telegram and invited De Luys to sit on the sofa and talk in detail.

De Ruys thanked Jérôme Bonaparte before sitting on the sofa.

Later, Jérôme Bonaparte took out the cigar box and matches hidden in the desk drawer as usual, opened the cigar box and placed it in front of De Ruys.

After de Ruys expressed his gratitude to Jerome Bonaparte, he skillfully picked up the cigar and lit it with a match. After taking several puffs, he showed an intoxicated look, as if he was smoking opium.

After a while, De Ruys's expression returned to normal. Jérôme Bonaparte, who was waiting quietly for De Ruys to return to normal, then solemnly said: "What do you think of this telegram?" ?Should we agree to Cavour’s request?”

"Your Majesty, I think we should agree!" De Luys said without too much hesitation that the Sardinian Dynasty could serve as cannon fodder for the French Empire and reduce the unnecessary casualties of the French Empire.

"Aren't you afraid that this will irritate the Austrian Empire?" Jerome Bonaparte said with a half-smile.

"Your Majesty, I think we should tell the Austrian Empire this news! Only in this way can they make a choice as soon as possible! Stand with us!" On the issue of the Austrian Empire, De Luys also adheres to the principle He responded to Jerome Bonaparte with an attitude that was always close to the Austrian Empire.

"The Austrian Empire will leave full power to you! We must put pressure on them and let them issue a final communication to the Russian Empire as soon as possible!" This time Jérôme Bonaparte decided not to interfere in the operations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Complete their assigned tasks.

De Ruys was stunned for a moment when he heard that Jerome Bonaparte was acting as a hands-off treasurer, and then immediately assured Jerome Bonaparte that he would convey Jerome Bonaparte's will to the Austrian Empire. .

When De Ruys left the Tuileries Palace and returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he immediately ordered his secretary of state to invite Richard Metternich to come over.

The State Secretary followed De Ruys's order and went to the Ambassador to Austria to invite Richard Metternich. Looking for books www.zhaoスhhuyua.com

Half an hour later, the State Secretary and Richard Metternich came to the study.

De Ruys told Richard Metternich about the disappearance of Cavour's desire to lead the Sardinian army in the war against the Russian Empire.

As De Ruys expected, Richard Metternich was slightly nervous after hearing that the Sardinian Dynasty had joined the war. Immediately, the Austrian Empire's attitude towards the Russian Empire was once again reiterated.

"Your Excellency Richard, I hope you and Prince Metternich can persuade your monarch to take action as soon as possible, otherwise I can't guarantee how patiently my monarch will continue to wait! If you are not careful, France and Austria will A country may face a tragedy!" De Ruys threatened Richard Metternich.

"I know! I will definitely persuade your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"
