Make France Great Again

Chapter 494: Propaganda War, Cognition War

"Your Majesty must not have rested yet!"

De Luys, who quickly stepped out of the carriage, asked Mokar after meeting him in the lobby of the Tuileries Palace.

"Not yet! Your Majesty, you are still working in the study." Mokar shook his head and responded to De Ruys, then lowered his voice and asked: "Your Excellency De Ruys, you are here so late. Did something happen? If it’s bad news, can you please come and report it tomorrow? Your Majesty, he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for several days!”

"Don't worry, I'm here to report the good news to His Majesty!" Minister De Luys first assured Mokar that he was not here to ruin the emperor's mood, and then said in an excited tone: "The imperial army is already at Silistra Fortress. The neighborhood is at war with the Russian Empire!”

"How is the situation? Is our army victorious?" Mokar asked De Ruys impatiently.

"After a day of fighting with our army, the Russian Imperial Army retreated to the north bank of the Danube River that night!" De Ruys reported to Mokarhui.

"This is really good news!" Mokar immediately realized how helpful the news brought by De Ruys was to the empire in economic difficulties.

The victory of the Empire means that the price of the Empire's short-term bonds will face an upward trend, and the market will be full of confidence in a victorious Empire.

"Quick! Come with me! I'll take you to see His Majesty!" Excited Mokar grabbed De Ruys' shoulders and walked up the stairs with De Ruys. He couldn't wait to tell the news. Report to Jerome Bonaparte.

Mokar and De Ruys came to the study door, and Mokar knocked gently on the door.

After a while, Jérôme Bonaparte's weak voice came from the room: "Who is it?"

"Your Majesty, I am Mokar!" Mokar said close to the door.

"Come in with the door unlocked!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Mokar (De Ruys) outside the door.

The study door was pushed open by Mokar, and the figures of De Ruys and Mokar appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

Seeing De Ruys visiting late at night, Jérôme Bonaparte was startled at first, and then asked De Ruys solemnly: "Is there good news from the Near East?"

De Luys looked at Jerome Bonaparte in surprise. He didn't understand how Jerome Bonaparte knew that he was going to report to him the good news in the Near East.

Could it be that there are really unpredictable things in this world?

Looking at De Ruys with a surprised expression, Jérôme Bonaparte pointed to the pendulum clock in the corner with a smile, and said with a hint of ridicule: "This time period can still pass Mokar's "test" The person who enters the study to report the news will most likely not be bad news. And since you are currently focusing on the situation in the Near East, your visit this time must also be related to the Near East. I'm right! Minister De Ruys! "

"You are absolutely right!" De Luys said to Jerome Bonaparte with an admiring tone: "I came here late at night just to report to your Majesty the situation in the Near East."

"Quick! Show me the telegram!" Jérôme Bonaparte stood up and said to De Ruys.

De Ruys handed the telegram to Jérôme Bonaparte. After receiving the telegram, Jérôme Bonaparte turned to Mokar and ordered: "Mokar, go get a kerosene lamp quickly! It’s a little dark here!”

"Yes!" Mokar hurriedly left the study and headed to the storage room.

Jérôme Bonaparte first piled all the official documents on the desk on the sofa, and then took out the map of the Near East from the drawer.

After Jérôme Bonaparte had completely spread out the map of the Near East, Mokar entered the study carrying a lit kerosene lamp.

The kerosene lamp emitted orange light and illuminated the entire map. Standing next to the map and holding a pencil, Jérôme Bonaparte read the battle report in the telegram and marked the information on the telegram completely on the map. come out.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who repeatedly checked whether the contents of the telegram were consistent with the markings on the map, put down the telegram in his hand, glanced at the arrow symbols marked on the map, and said a few words.

From the contents of the telegram, Jerome Bonaparte knew the scale of the battle that took place near the Silistra Fortress, as well as the location of the Russian Empire's heavy military group on the Danube River.

"Poor Nicholas, I'm afraid he still doesn't understand! What kind of ending will he face after he ordered the retreat to the north bank of the Danube! (Jerome Bonnet didn't know that this retreat was caused by Paskevi Prince Chi took the initiative to withdraw without the consent of Nicholas I!)" Jérôme Bonaparte gloated to himself, and then drew an × on the symbol symbolizing the Russian Empire's heavy military presence in the Danube region. .

"Your Majesty, do we want to inform the Austrian Empire of the empire's victory on the Danube! So that they can make the right choice as soon as possible!" De Luys asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"There is no need to tell them deliberately! This will make it appear that we are begging them to join our camp!" Jerome Bonaparte tapped the desk with his index finger and said: "We want to announce this victory with great fanfare, so that Everyone knows that the French Empire has achieved a phased victory! At the same time, it is announced that France will pay a good visit to the Kingdom of Sardinia at the end of March. Only in this way will the Austrian Empire feel the pressure and have to succumb to us."

"If we force the Austrian Empire too much, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive!" De Ruys was somewhat worried that the Austrian Empire would fall to the Russian Empire.

"I believe that the Austrian Empire is a sensible country! They will see clearly who is the country that dominates the entire Europe!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a proud tone in his words: "When it comes to persecution, My uncle did much more harm to the Austrian Empire than I do now. As a result, the Austrian Empire did not dare to rebel until the moment the Russian Imperial Army arrived. The Austrian Empire is more aware of current affairs than we think!"

Jérôme Bonaparte can responsibly say that no one in the world understands the "coward" Joseph Franz better than he does. As long as he shows some tough tactics, the Austrian Empire will naturally fall to him.

No country in Europe is as "forgetful" as the Austrian Empire. They can forget all the previous hatreds for their own interests.

If it hadn't been for the encounter with a die-hard anti-Austrian master (Napoleon III in history), Austria would not have suffered the outcome of the Austro-Prussian War with Austria's flexible tactics (perhaps).

De Luys, who considers himself a pro-Austrian, obviously does not know Austria better than Jerome Bonaparte. Although he does not agree with Jerome Bonaparte's pressure on the Austrian Empire, he still wants to Respecting the emperor's authority, he was still willing to obey the emperor's orders.

"Mokar!" Jérôme Bonaparte turned his attention to Mokar and gave him an order: "Go to the newspaper office immediately and ask the editor of the newspaper office to rush to print the manuscript overnight! It must be done at the beginning of the day. I saw this news!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Mokar respectfully took the telegram handed over by Jérôme Bonaparte with both hands, turned around and left the study.

"Minister De Ruys!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to De Ruys.

"Your Majesty!" De Luys bowed and responded.

"I wonder if you would be interested in having a drink with me!" Jerome Bonaparte extended an invitation to De Ruys.

"It is an honor to enjoy wine with His Majesty!" De Ruys replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Then let's go!"

Jérôme Bonaparte and De Ruys left the study one after another, walked through the quiet corridor, walked down the stairs, and walked to the restaurant on the first floor.

After a while, the trolley pushed all the dishes in front of Jerome Bonaparte and De Ruys. Three dishes (foie gras, snails, caviar) were placed in front of each person. Served with baguette).

The wine from the Bordeaux region was poured into the wine glass, and Jérôme Bonaparte and De Ruys clinked their glasses with each other.

After drinking a glass of red wine, Jerome Bonaparte asked: "Minister De Ruys, what do you think of Vienna?"

De Luys put down his wine glass and wrote carefully: "Your Majesty, are you talking about the scenery of Vienna or the government of Vienna!"

"Both!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to De Ruys.

"Although I have never been to Vienna myself, I hope that I can go there one day. As for the Vienna government, my understanding of them is limited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." De Ruys cautiously told Jerome Bonaparte replied. .

"If...I mean if..." Jérôme Bonaparte emphasized one sentence: "If you are asked to serve as the French ambassador to Austria, would you be willing to go to Austria?"

De Ruys looked at Jérôme Bonaparte with dull eyes, looking for bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com He knew that the "if" in Jérôme Bonaparte's mouth had a high probability of becoming a reality.

When he thought that he might leave the position of minister, De Luys showed a wry smile and asked: "Your Majesty, can you please tell me who will replace me?"

Jerome Bonaparte was silent for a moment, and then said: "I want Valewski to be the foreign minister!"

"I believe Mr. Walewski will become a better minister than me!" Somehow, De Luys always felt an inexplicable sense of loss after saying this.

"Minister De Ruys, I will give you the honor and title you deserve when you leave this position!" Jerome Bonaparte promised De Ruys: "Moreover, you will serve as ambassador. It won’t be long!”
