Make France Great Again

Chapter 497 Deadline

Richard Metternich swore that today was the most desperate day since he served as Austrian Secretary to France, especially when he saw Jerome Bonaparte "accidentally" revealed his "France's war plan against Austria" "Afterwards, Richard Metternich's originally orderly thoughts were completely disrupted.

Richard Metternich's brain felt as if he had been hit hard by someone's fist. His whole person was in a state of confusion, his eyes were dull and he was motionless on the spot.

"Mr. Richard, Mr. Richard!"

It was not until Jerome Bonaparte's voice reached his ears that Richard Metternich came back to his senses and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte again and expressed his apology: "Your Majesty, please Please forgive my rude behavior just now!"

"Nothing!" Jérôme Bonaparte, who understood why Richard Metternich was rude, shrugged his shoulders and pretended not to care. "Everyone gets distracted sometimes! Take me for example, I I often miss the past time on various occasions, especially the time in the Apennine Peninsula..."

Jérôme Bonaparte talked endlessly to Richard Metternich about his childhood in the Apennines, about the Republic of Genoa, the peninsular monarchs, and even about the Carbonari.

Richard Metternich's face began to turn pale after Jerome Bonaparte talked about the situation in the Apennine Peninsula. When Jerome Bonaparte talked about the Carbonari Party and the Italian Revolution, he had not yet practiced. Richard Metternich, who had a strong heart, almost fell off his chair.

Combining the battle plan that Richard Metternich accidentally glanced at and his current remarks, Richard Metternich has reason to suspect that Jerome Bonaparte may have lost patience because of Austria's delay, and thus Already changed its attitude towards the Austrian Empire.

If this is the case, Jerome Bonaparte will definitely repeat all the actions his uncle Napoleon did to the empire.

Next, Jerome Bonaparte's words further confirmed Richard Metternich's speculation.

“My late brother and my cousin were both members of the Carbonari Party. Although I myself did not join this political party, under the influence of my late brother, this party was still quite popular. I have a good impression!" Jérôme Bonaparte's words revealed his nostalgia for the past, and then he shook his head and added: "But that is already a thing of the past!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my offense! Because what I say next may involve the late Prince Napoleon." Richard Metternich said to Jerome Bonaparte before he bowed.

"Mr. Richard, we are friends! If you have anything to say, please speak up and I will forgive you!" Jerome Bonaparte responded generously.

"I privately think that your favorable impression of the Carbonari Party is just due to nostalgia for the past, and thus you have a certain subjective favorable impression of the Carbonari Party. In fact, the Carbonari Party itself is not a benign political party. They are a group of people who are good at Dangerous elements who use a bright future to attract people of good character to join them and engage in assassination and terror!" Richard Metternich tried his best to discredit the Carbonari, "I believe that the late Prince Napoleon must have been seduced by their sweet words into joining them.”

Jérôme Bonaparte did not believe Richard Metternich's statement. Although the Carbonari had indeed carried out some horrific terrorist attacks, most of their targets were in Italy. nobles, their desire is also for the unification of Italy.

Fake terrorists live in the Apennine countryside, while real terrorists live in temples.

It can be said that the person/country that really caused terrorist incidents in the Apennine Peninsula was the Austrian Empire behind Richard Metternich.

It is precisely because the Austrian Empire controls Lombardy, Venice, and a number of small and medium-sized states close to Habsburg that the Apennine Peninsula remains divided to this day.

However, what does this have to do with Jerome Bonaparte? The reason why he was willing to mention the Apennine Peninsula to Richard Metternich was simply to force the Austrian Empire to continue to increase its investment in Britain and France.

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte pondered for a moment, and then turned to ask Richard Metternich: "Let's not talk about this! Mr. Richard, is there something wrong with your sudden visit today? !”

"Your Majesty, I came here today to express my congratulations to you on your Majesty's order!" Richard Metternich sat upright and Jerome Bonaparte said: "The French Empire has shown a prosperous scene under your leadership. The French army and the British coalition also gained the upper hand in the two battles with the Russian Empire. I believe that it will not be long before the Russian Empire completely withdraws from the Danube region! By then, peace in Europe will come again! "

Jerome Bonaparte was unwilling to believe Richard Metternich's statement that he came to congratulate him on the order of Joseph Franz.

After all, as a conservative monarch, Franz Joseph would not please his "revolutionary" monarch too much no matter how much he opposed the Russian Empire.

Richard Metternich most likely just borrowed Joseph Franz's name and went to the Tuileries Palace to test his ideas.

However, the court in Vienna must have been aware of the Russian Empire's retreat to the north bank of the Danube.

"I am very grateful to the Austrian Empire for its recognition of this great undertaking we are undertaking!" Jerome Bonaparte pretended to look at Richard Metternich with a lack of interest and said perfunctorily: "We also hope that More and more countries are able to see clearly the greedy nature of the Russian Empire and join us in such a great cause! (Jérôme Bonaparte showed a meaningful smile on his face) The result of blindly riding on the wall will only be Causing the wall to be destroyed and people killed!”

Jérôme Bonaparte scolded the Austrian Empire for hedging its bets, making Richard Metternich feel ashamed.

yes! The Austrian Empire has been wrangling on this issue for too long. Not to mention Jerome Bonaparte who couldn't stand this kind of vacillating diplomacy, even Richard Metternich himself couldn't continue to wait for Vienna. The government wrangling is over.

That's why Richard Metternich came to the Tuileries Palace to congratulate Jerome Bonaparte without receiving the latest instructions from Vienna.

Facts have proved that Richard Metternich's approach was correct. The French Empire may have been unable to tolerate the Austrian Empire's swinging policies and took action against the Austrian Empire.

Richard Metternich suddenly remembered the letter that Prince Metternich had written to him about a week ago. In the letter, Metternich told Richard Metternich that he had attended the German Confederation Conference in Frankfurt on the order of the emperor, hoping that The German Confederation was able to temporarily extend the Laws of War from German regions (Austria, Bohemia) to the entire Empire.

However, Prince Metternich's efforts failed, and the South German Confederation headed by Bavaria and Prussia made a rare alliance to oppose the actions of the Austrian Empire.

The scope of the war law temporarily added by Prince Metternich was not passed.

After that, Prince Metternich sought out Bismarck, the new Prussian ambassador to the German Confederation, and asked him if the Kingdom of Prussia was willing to deal with the Austrian Empire. Ambassador Bismarck rejected Prince Metternich on behalf of Prussia.

After the military went to Prussia, they also received no response from Prussian conservatives.

There are various signs that everything happening in the German region is being controlled by an invisible hand, and the owner of this hand is very likely...

Thinking of this, Richard Metternich glanced at Jerome Bonaparte subconsciously.

Jerome Bonaparte still looked at Richard Metternich with a smile. However, Richard Metternich's eyes made Jerome Bonaparte feel a little depressed. He was not a cannibal. tiger.

"We also hope that we can do our best to provide some help to the symbols of opposition to Russia!" Richard Metternich could only respond to Jerome Bonaparte with as many false words as possible, Then he assured Jérôme Bonaparte: "Don't worry! It won't be long before the empire will join the anti-Russian camp!"

"How long will it take?" Jerome Bonaparte took an aggressive stance and asked Richard Metternich: "Does it have to be the moment before our army completely defeats the Russian Empire before the Austrian Empire is willing to cooperate with us? Fight side by side? If that's the case, I would rather deal with the Austrian Empire as an enemy! At least it can satisfy the people of the Apennine Peninsula who long for reunification and the people of Hungary who long for independence! But I don't know until then How much land can the Austrian Empire retain?”

Jérôme Bonaparte's threat of war made Richard Metternich, whose face had regained some color, turn pale again.

"Please rest assured! The empire will definitely make a decision as soon as possible! For the sake of my father, please give the empire some more time!" Richard Metternich told Jerome Poe. Nabal pleaded.

"I can give you time, but you must make a choice as soon as possible!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Richard Metternich with a straight face: "The French Empire's army will also fight against Sardinia at the end of the month. Asia’s military will hold a military exchange meeting to discuss the form of future wars!”

Richard Metternich understood that Jerome Bonaparte was hinting to him that he would leave the Austrian Empire for less than a month.

The Austrian Empire must make a choice within this month, otherwise the French Empire is likely to launch military operations against it.

"I will definitely report to Vienna as soon as possible!" Richard Metternich assured Jerome Bonaparte.
