The second more

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Temple endured Napoleon III's accusations again and again, he planned to adopt turtle tactics, not to refute the other party's point of view, nor to accept the other party's doubts, so it dragged on and wasted time, and finally Napoleon III lost his patience, and naturally gave up his obsession and left London, and finally the whole thing was over.

At least that's what he thought, but Prime Minister Temple underestimated Gallien's importance to Napoleon III, and losing Gallion was as much as he lost the Papal States of Italy.

"According to the procedure, we will soon find the whereabouts of Garion for His Majesty......"

"Don't come to fool me with all this nonsense!"

Tired of the nonsense of these politicians over and over again, he said coldly, "I tell you, today is to overturn the whole of London, dig three feet into the ground, and find out Garrian, if you can't hand over people, I will let No. 10 Downing Street never have peace, Prime Minister Temple does not hand over people for a day, Paris will not let go for a day." We'll keep an eye on your every move. ”

"Lord Garrian, don't go too far."

Prime Minister Temple finally couldn't help it, and the Conservative Party would definitely use this as an excuse to criticize his foreign policy weakness in the future.

So Prime Minister Temple straightened his spine and angrily reprimanded the other party, "This is Great Britain, not you Paris, France, what do you want to go back to Paris to make trouble, but if you want to make trouble at 10 Downing Street, don't blame us for turning our faces in the end." The British have never been afraid of war and are not afraid of war? ”

"Excessive? This is excessive, and even more excessive demands are still to come, do you want to hear it. ”

Napoleon III looked at Temple with cold eyes, the other party obviously did not realize that Napoleon III had made up his mind to fight to the end, and he said calmly, "If Your Excellency does not hand over Gallian within the time limit, we will set up trade barriers for British goods and increase tariffs by 20%. This is the price of your unwillingness to seek out Garion. ”

Raise tariffs?

This is even worse for Great Britain.

In 1860, after a brief boom in the world economy, it finally ushered in a cold winter. Britain has advanced technology and equipment, strong competitiveness, and the ability to take advantage of the crisis to dump at low prices, so it can be the first to recover from the crisis. If France were to erect trade barriers and prohibit the dumping of British goods abroad, the blow to the economy would be almost fatal.

Prime Minister Temple can even imagine a large-scale shutdown and reduction in production in the textile industry, metallurgical industry, and coal industry, and a sharp drop in prices. The metallurgical and textile industries have reduced production, the volume of railway construction has been cut by half, many coal mines have been closed, and coal prices have fallen sharply. Agriculture suffered heavy losses, with the result that food prices fell sharply, followed by the inability of farmers to repay their debts.

The economic crisis is the hotbed of revolution!

"Ridiculous, it's hard to imagine that such unsteady words could come out of the mouth of a French emperor!"

Prime Minister Temple was completely panicked, feeling that Napoleon III had lost his mind, and even Sir Levas could not dissuade the angry Emperor, and his angry roar echoed throughout the conference room.

"Ridiculous? Isn't it ridiculous for you to careless of human life? Isn't it ridiculous for you to put my great heroes in danger? I'll tell you today, Temple, don't think that I'm afraid of you if you're the Prime Minister of England, I'm the Emperor of France, and I've never been afraid of anyone! I was not afraid of the Tsar, I was not afraid of the revolutionary, and I am not afraid now. ”

Sir Reivas was like ashes, Napoleon III's angry denunciation today is probably going down in history, the French emperor was not only angry on the spot, but even humiliated the British Prime Minister, although the two countries were on the needle, but there had never been such a diplomatic crisis, but the root of everything was actually triggered by a French writer.

Is this an angry confidant?

What kind of magic does that damned, cursed, thousand-stabbed Garion have to keep an emperor regardless of the interests of the country.

"All right, Your Majesty Napoleon."

When it comes to trade barriers, Prime Minister Temple finally panicked, and now Great Britain is suffering from an economic crisis, and the cyclical economic crisis that broke out from the crops in early 1864 is affecting the whole of Great Britain, Prime Minister Temple must carefully manage the relationship with Paris, once the European countries unite to resist themselves, the position of Prime Minister will come to an end.

Now Napoleon III is like a mad gambler, doing anything out of the ordinary, comparing the interests of a country with an unrelated passerby, and putting down his pride in the arrogant prime minister.

"We will do everything we can to find the whereabouts of Lord Garion and give you an answer within a time limit. However, in the case of increasing trade tariffs, we still try not to end the unpleasant negotiations in a way that does not hurt both sides. In any case, I will give you a satisfactory answer. ”

"Satisfactory answer? Very well, from today I would like to know that all your actions, including every step, are submitted in writing to the Tuileries Palace, and secondly, the Foreign Office must respond to the questions and queries raised by the diplomatic ambassador Reivas in the shortest possible time, and we need to know all the progress and details, including informing us as soon as we find clues. Neither of the two conditions can be missing, and one of our verbal agreements will be nullified, and the trade war will officially begin. ”

Prime Minister Temple nodded bitterly, he could accept these requests, but the most important problem was that he could not see the dead or the body, and he did not know where to find Garion's whereabouts.

"Your Majesty Napoleon, let's go back to Paris first, I will reply to you as soon as I have any news, and I will definitely not slack off. We will find the whereabouts of Lord Garion as fast as possible, and I swear by my family's honor. ”

Leigh John Temple belonged to the Irish branch of the Temple family. He later inherited their family's Irish nobility as the third Viscount of Palmerston. It was a solemn oath to swear in the honor of the family, but the only thought in his heart now was to send this ancestor away as soon as possible, and Temple could not afford to offend this great god.

"Prime Minister Temple, I'm not going anywhere right now."

Napoleon III didn't eat this at all, he sat in his place very domineeringly, crossed his hands on his chin, and said word by word, "Now you will bring me the Commissioner of the London Police, and I will let him report to me in person on the current situation." ”
