Make France Great Again

Chapter 579: Initial Thoughts on Annexing Luxembourg

Hearing William I's response, Jérôme Bonaparte was immediately overjoyed, and he hurriedly gave two disgusting compliments to his old father-in-law.

Jérôme Bonaparte's praise made William I's wrinkled face light up with joy. No one doesn't like to be flattered, especially by the leader of the current most powerful country in Europe.

However, this joy only lasted for a while. William I returned to a serious expression and asked Jerome Bonaparte how he would face the Kingdom of Britain and the Austrian Empire once his plan was successful.

After all, one of them is the chairman of the German Confederation, and the other is wary of the French Empire's annexation of European territories.

During the Kingdom of Orleans, the Netherlands, which was eager to become part of the French King's territory, was forced to become an independent country due to the intervention of European powers.

Luxembourg is both a member of the German Confederation and part of European territory, which means it is destined to never be able to bypass these two countries.

Whether the French Empire's annexation of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will cause violent reactions from the Kingdom of Britain and the Austrian Empire, and what impact it will have on the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the French Empire, is a question that Jerome Bonaparte has to consider.

William I knew his son-in-law in the Kingdom of the Netherlands very well, and he would never let himself be put in danger.

"The German Confederation, especially those states in South Germany, please help me contact you! As long as the vassal states in South Germany agree, then the Austrian Empire will definitely have no reason to object! The Austrian Empire now needs help from us! Jerome Bonaparte paused and said confidently: "As for the Kingdom of Britain! As long as the Kingdom of Britain wants to continue fighting, they will also rely on us!"

Although Jerome Bonaparte said this, William I still had some doubts about whether the Kingdom of Britain would really follow Jerome Bonaparte's ideas.

"Father, please tell my Dutch brother-in-law, and he can sell it with confidence! If there is a problem, I will bear it myself!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to William I in a generous manner. .

Since Jerome Bonaparte has planned Luxembourg, he will never allow himself to face failure!

"Okay then!" Looking at the confident Jérôme Bonaparte in front of him, William I nodded and said, "As long as you are confident!"

After a while, Mokar returned to Jerome Bonaparte and William I and reported to them the placement of Franz Joseph and Princess Sissi.

"I know! You did a good job!" Jérôme Bonaparte immediately praised Mokar.

"This is what I should do!" Mokar humbly responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Subsequently, under the order of Jérôme Bonaparte, Mokar also sent William I back to the room.

Only Jerome Bonaparte and the servants coming and going from the Tuileries Palace were left in the hall of the Tuileries Palace.

Jerome Bonaparte, who stood there in deep thought for a moment, raised his head again, pointed at one of the servants and said, "Come here!"

The servant who was touched by Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, then came to Jerome Bonaparte and said: "Your Majesty!"

"Go immediately and notify the stables to prepare a carriage for me!" Jerome Bonaparte gave the order to his servants in an unquestionable tone: "Remember to be quick!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the servant responded quickly, then turned around and trotted away.

After about a few minutes, Mokar came to Jerome Bonaparte again.

Before Mokar could open his mouth to report, the servant who was called to the stables by Jerome Bonaparte panted and came to Jerome Bonaparte and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, carriage Already prepared!"

Mokar looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in astonishment, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

"The Quai d'Orsay!" Jérôme Bonaparte said the place he was about to go to.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go tomorrow! It's so late, I'm afraid there will be..." Mokar was a little worried about Jerome Bonaparte's safety.

"No!" The resolute Jérôme Bonaparte firmly rejected Mokar's opinion.

"Then let me go with you!" Mokar said to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"All right!"

Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and agreed to follow Mokar, and the master and servant entered the carriage one after another.

The completely black carriage set off carrying Jerome Bonaparte and Mokar, and soon disappeared into the night, leaving only the wind lantern swinging back and forth at the rear of the carriage.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte and Mokar did not know that their carriage leaving the Tuileries Palace happened to be clearly seen by Franz Joseph who lived in the Tuileries Palace.

Standing by the window and looking at the carriage gradually disappearing into the night, Franz Joseph showed a hint of vigilance on his face: "Where are they going?"

Franz Joseph, who had felt inexplicably agitated since entering France, felt like a puppet being led by someone. Every word, every movement, and even every step he took was carefully measured by his courtiers. Designed, this was simply an intolerable thing for a monarch who was accustomed to being self-centered in Austria. The suspicion caused by boredom made Franz Joseph develop a feeling of "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me." psychology.

Jerome Bonaparte and Mokar left the Tuileries Palace late at night, which aggravated Franz Joseph's psychology. He began to pace back and forth in the room thinking about where Jerome Bonaparte might go. Place.

Could they be going to negotiate peace with the Russian Empire? A ridiculous idea came to Joseph Franz's mind.

After a while, he shook his head and dismissed the idea.

After much thought, Franz Joseph decided to find Prince Metternich for answers.

He quickly came to the door, opened it, and walked out of the room.

The servant who was responsible for patrolling the corridor saw Joseph Franz standing in the corridor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Franz, what are your orders?"

Franz Joseph put on a majestic face and asked the servant: "Do you know where Prince Metternich's room is?"

The servant nodded and responded to Franz Joseph: "Please follow me!"

Under the guidance of his servants, Franz Joseph came to a door made of fir wood.

"Your Excellency Prince Metternich is inside!" the servant responded to Metternich respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Franz Joseph nodded and thanked the servant.

"It is my honor to be able to guide you!" The servant who was thanked by Franz Joseph responded to Franz Joseph with an excited expression on his face.

After the servant left, Franz Joseph gently knocked on the door.

"Who?" An old but majestic voice came from inside the door.

Hearing Prince Metternich's voice, Franz Joseph's restless heart finally felt at peace.

"Consultant Metternich, it's me, Franz Joseph!" Franz Joseph responded toward the door.

After half a minute, the door opened, and Prince Metternich appeared in front of Franz Joseph.

"Your Majesty, please come in!" Metternich did not ask Franz Joseph about his purpose. He directly extended his hand to invite Franz Joseph into the room.

After Franz Joseph entered the room, Prince Metternich closed the door again, and then the two sat on the sofa near the window.

"What's the matter with Your Majesty's late-night visit?" Prince Metternich, who was sitting on the sofa, asked Franz Joseph with a smile.

Franz Joseph told Prince Metternich what he had just seen, and then asked Metternich's advisor where he thought the French Emperor would go late at night.

"Your Majesty, are you worried that the French Empire will be detrimental to the Austrian Empire?" Prince Metternich asked Franz Joseph pointedly.

"Advisor Metternich, I have to worry about this!" Franz Joseph put on a bitter and resentful expression and whispered to Metternich: "The last time Bonaparte caused harm to the empire, It has not been completely healed to this day (this refers to the fact that the national debt issued by the Austrian Empire during the Napoleonic Wars has not been repaid to this day), and our Austrian Empire cannot repeat the same mistakes as before."

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask if we have any other options?" Advisor Metternich asked, "The Austrian Empire has already offended the Russian Empire, do we still want to offend the French Empire?"

Facing Prince Metternich's inquiry, Franz Joseph fell silent.

Indeed, it is impossible for the Austrian Empire to offend the French Empire after offending the Russian Empire.

Having angered Bonaparte, the Austrian Empire may have difficulty finding allies. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com

"If the French Empire concludes a peace treaty with the Russian Empire, then where will the Austrian Empire go?" Franz Joseph also raised his concerns.

"Your Majesty, the French Empire and the Russian Empire will conclude a peace treaty sooner or later!" Prince Metternich responded to Franz Joseph with a firm tone: "Because the French Empire is unable to conquer the Russian Empire, they can only continue to reduce the branches of the Russian Empire. Do it, so that the Russian Empire will not be able to interfere in Europe for a period of time!"

"So the situation of the Austrian Empire..." Franz Joseph said to Prince Metternich worriedly.

"Your Majesty, as long as the empire cannot sit back and watch the Russian Empire push its hands deep into the Balkans, then we will inevitably have a conflict with the Russian Empire!" Prince Metternich said to Franz Joseph earnestly: "So now the empire needs France, and It’s not France that needs an empire!”
