Make France Great Again

Chapter 714 Poland Issue

"Please express my gratitude to your Majesty the Pope on my behalf! As long as my husband and I are still on the throne, France will never forget the friendship of the Papal States!"

Queen Augusta responded firmly. She knew that the reason why Pope Pius IX was willing to travel all the way from the Papal State to send blessings to his godson was simply because he hoped that the French Empire could continue to maintain the Papal State. Interests in the Apennine Peninsula.

The current French Empire can be said to have achieved its illustrious military exploits on the corpse of the Russian Empire. In the eyes of Pius IX and others, even if his husband Jerome Bonaparte is not as good as his uncle, he is still worse than his uncle. The previous two generations of bourbon were countless times more powerful.

Therefore, they eagerly hope to maintain the friendship between the French Empire and the Papal States by pleasing themselves and their children.

Augusta's speech undoubtedly relieved the Papal State Ambassador. He believed that under the influence of Queen Augusta, Emperor Jerome Bonaparte would not consider it even if he sympathized with the revolutionaries. Unify the Apennines.

"I will convey your words to Your Majesty!" The envoy of the Papal State expressed his blessing to Queen Augusta in a respectful tone: "Under the witness of God, the empire established by you and His Majesty Bonaparte will surely become stronger and stronger. !”

Queen Augusta nodded slightly and expressed her gratitude to the world of the Papal State for its blessings.

Soon the envoy from the Papal State left, followed by the ambassador from the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Netherlands) and the ambassador from the Kingdom of Württemberg. Both of them can be called kinship countries of the French Empire.

The Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands first represented their queen and king, Augusta’s sister and brother-in-law, and sent their best wishes to the crown prince of the French Empire. They also hoped that Queen Augusta and Emperor Friedrich The prince will be able to visit the Kingdom of the Netherlands one day, and they will entertain them well.

"Please tell my sister and brother-in-law that I will visit Amsterdam with my husband Jérôme Bonaparte after he returns. I hope you won't dislike us then!" Austria, who is grateful to his sister and brother-in-law Queen Gusta responded to the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands with a slightly teasing tone.

The ambassador's face was particularly happy when he heard that Queen Augusta and Emperor Jerome Bonaparte might visit the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Now there is no country in Europe that is not willing to get closer to France.

The reason why the Kingdom of the Netherlands received such honors in the French court, even though the Kingdom of Prussia did not, was not all due to the Queen.

"On behalf of our Majesty, I warmly welcome the visit of His Majesty the Queen and the Emperor!" the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands said excitedly to Queen Augusta.

After the ambassador from the Kingdom of the Netherlands left, the ambassador from Württemberg appeared in front of Queen Augusta.

Queen Augusta preemptively asked the Ambassador of Württemberg: "Your Excellency, is there nothing going on at home?"

The Württemberg ambassador was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, Your Majesty!"

"Father, did you say when he will come?" Queen Augusta asked again.

"No!" Ambassador Württemberg shook his head again, and then added: "His Royal Highness Karl may visit France in the near future!"

"Oh!" Queen Augusta responded simply, and then asked: "Is my sister-in-law coming too?"

The Ambassador of Württemberg showed a hint of helplessness on his face. He nodded and told Queen Augusta: "Her Royal Highness Olga Nikolayevna will visit together with His Royal Highness Karl!"

"Hey!" Queen Augusta sighed, as if she was complaining to the Württemberg ambassador: "I knew that my eldest brother would definitely have something to ask for when he came over!"

Ambassador Württemberg shrank his neck slightly, he did not dare to speak on this fatal issue.

After all, neither Queen Augusta nor His Highness Karl could be offended by him.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will leave first!" Ambassador Württemberg asked cautiously.

"Go! Go!" Queen Augusta waved her hand and ordered the Württemberg ambassador to leave.

Shortly after the departure of the Württemberg ambassador, the ambassador of the Kingdom of Britain and the (temporary) ambassador of the Austrian Empire appeared before Empress Augusta.

They sent blessings to Friedrich on behalf of Franz Joseph and Victoria respectively, and also hoped that the emperor, empress and crown prince family could visit their country.

By then, they will definitely let the emperor see that their enthusiasm is not inferior to that of the French people.

As waves of guests sent their blessings to the Queen and the Crown Prince, time gradually came into the night.

Friedrich Bonaparte couldn't help but fall asleep while being held in Mathilde's arms. In order not to wake up the Crown Prince, Mathilde first ordered the band at the banquet to stop playing, and then carefully held Friedrich Bonaparte in his arms. Riderich Bonaparte left the noisy party.

Upon seeing this, Queen Augusta immediately explained to the guests present that the music started again and did not end until 12 o'clock in the morning.

After the banquet, Queen Augusta dragged her tired body to the door, opened the door carefully and entered the room.

Soon, Queen Augusta fell into a deep sleep while lying on the bed.

While Queen Augusta was sleeping, the Schönbrunn Palace, thousands of miles away from Paris, was still brightly lit.

As the Emperor of the Habsburg Empire, Franz Joseph was convening a group of ministers to discuss state affairs.

"What do you think of this telegram sent by Ambassador Richard Metternich from the Crimean Peninsula!" Under the candlelight, Franz Joseph looked around with an indifferent expression and asked the ministers present.

Count Bauer, who is in charge of the diplomatic line of the Austrian Empire, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I think His Majesty Jérôme Bonaparte's move is to sow discord between us and the Russian Empire, and to make the relationship between the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire permanent. Hostile situation!”

"Count Bauer is right!" Interior Minister Bahe also agreed with Minister Bauer's opinion. "This behavior of the French Empire will undoubtedly expose us to the hatred of the Russian Empire!"

After listening to the speeches of the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Franz Joseph was somewhat inclined not to take over this hot potato.

After all, there are also territorial conflicts between the Austrian Empire and Poland. Galicia and Krakow both obtained land from the Kingdom of Poland.

Although France guaranteed that the newly born Principality of Poland would not make demands, the two countries would still have bad feelings towards each other.

Just when Franz Joseph decided to give up the Principality of Poland, Prince Metternich's voice reached Franz Joseph's ears: "Your Majesty, I think Minister Baoer's statement is wrong!"

"Consultant Metternich, do you have any different opinions?" Franz Joseph immediately asked Prince Metternich.

"Your Majesty, I think the Principality of Poland must be in our hands!" Prince Metternich said to Franz Joseph firmly: "Minister Baoer just said that if we take the Principality of Poland, Russia will The empire’s hatred for us will be at the top of the list! Then I would like to ask Count Bauer, who is the country that the Russian Empire hates the most now?”

"The French Empire!" Count Bauer replied without thinking.

"No!" Prince Metternich shook his head and responded to Earl Bauer.

"Your Excellency, what do you think?" Count Bauer looked at Prince Metternich with a puzzled look.

This war between France and Russia ultimately ended with Russia's defeat. Now the Russian Empire not only had to cede land, but also had to pay reparations.

No matter how you look at it, the country that the Russian Empire hates most should be the French Empire.

"Minister Bauer, can the current Russian Empire defeat the French Empire?" Prince Metternich asked Minister Bauer.

Bao Er shook his head decisively. If the Russian Empire could defeat the French Empire, they would not end up like this.

"Can the Russian Empire attack France's homeland in the future?" Prince Metternich asked Count Bauer again.

Earl Baoer shook his head and said: "I don't know about this! However, the possibility should be very small!"

"Very good!" Prince Metternich nodded. Then he continued: "Since Minister Baoer thinks that it is difficult for the Russian Empire to defeat France at this stage, and it will also be difficult to attack France's homeland in the future. Then what reason does Russia have to hate France!"

"This is different..." Earl Baoer couldn't help but argue.

"Minister Baoer, whether there is hatred or friendship between countries does not come from subjective likes and dislikes, but from the overall planning of the security environment due to geographical factors!" Prince Metternich said eloquently: "The Russian Empire Geographically and bordering the French Empire, it is very likely that a war will occur between the two in the future, and the possibility of them uniting together is very high."

"Union? How is that possible!" Earl Baoer responded with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.

"Minister Bauer, nothing is impossible! This war has temporarily pushed Russia off the European stage! If they want to return to Europe, they must seek the consent of France!" Metternich responded to Bauer : "With this as a basis, no matter how bad the conflict between France and Russia is, it cannot be any worse! Looking at the relationship between our country and the Russian Empire..."

Since the Russian Empire began to expand its power in the Balkans, the Austrian Empire has been consciously limiting the expansion of the Russian Empire and preventing Russia from forming a network of encirclement against the Austrian Empire.

During the Crimean War, Britain and France joined the camp and engaged in a sit-down war with the Russian Empire to contain the Russian Empire.
