"Even if Napoleon is restored, all France has is a name, and we should be intimidated by a name?"

Bismarck said confidently, with a hint of aggressiveness in his tone.

"It's not just a name. The Napoleonic family can unite the French! ”

The Foreign Secretary was so sad that the whole of Europe was now worried.

France's strength has always been above that of European countries, although France's population growth seems to have stagnated, only about 35 million people, far behind Russia, but France has the best industrial base, the fastest industrial development, during the Orleans Dynasty, although France's foreign expansion was not as rapid as in the Napoleonic period, but maintained a stable time of up to 20 years, so that French industry expanded rapidly, second only to Britain, becoming the second largest industrial power in Europe.

The French financial industry is also very developed, coupled with a good financial situation, the French government has a strong financing capacity, and they can afford to fight any war.

If another war broke out in Europe because of the restoration of the Napoleonic family, Prussia and Germany would once again become the main battlefields.

So Bismarck said: "In that case, then we should support the Napoleonic family all the more." In exchange for French support for our expansion in Poland. I think that should be enough to convince the king. On the other hand, I strongly oppose our annexation of Finland. What's there? Do we need wood there? ”

The Foreign Secretary sighed: "Britain supported us in taking Finland. ”

Bismarck sneered: "Yes, England, yes. The British, of course, wanted us to help them hold back the barbaric Russians and their intentions to advance into the North Sea. The Russian navy has indeed grown in size lately. But we don't do any good. The king must be told that we cannot want Finland. The future of Prussia is still in Germany, in the reunification of Germany! ”

"Okay, I'll communicate with His Majesty. Especially your advice to France. And what do you think of the Ottoman Empire. I think if we go to war with Russia, the Ottoman Empire can play a big role. ”

The minister said that the success of winning over the Ottoman Empire and signing a secret alliance with Russia was another diplomatic achievement that he was proud of.

Bismarck was too unhuman, and he directly denied: "They can hardly play any role." ”

The minister exclaimed: "How is it possible. Don't you take into account the crucial factor that the Ottoman army was trained by our officers? ”

Bismarck smiled bitterly: "You are probably overexaggerating the role of European officers. You should be aware that after the Napoleonic Wars, a large number of French officers were in exile, and they were helping many countries to form European-style armies, but not many really made a difference. The Ottoman Empire must have brought in our officers after the defeat of the army trained by French officers, and I don't think there is any revolutionary difference between our military system and that of France, otherwise we would not have to worry about the French. ”

The Foreign Secretary snorted, eloquently, he couldn't argue with Bismarck, this is what he admired Bismarck, hard-mouthed, and he could say that diplomats should be like this.

As for the Prussian officers who served in the Ottoman Empire at this time, no one cared about who they were, and what their abilities were, until the leaders of this group of officers became famous in the war, and they remembered the name.

The man's name was Moltke!

Bismarck was secretly thrilled to hear that the Foreign Secretary had succeeded in convincing the king, which meant that the strategy of isolating Russia had been accomplished.

The agreement with China on the right of rail transit did not provoke significant opposition from the British side, and the British diplomat did not put pressure on the Prussian government after confirming that the right of free transit could not be used for military purposes. The question of Napoleon's restoration, which apparently arose suddenly, attracted the attention of all countries.

The French side has confirmed the news, and under various pressures, Louis Bonaparte has made it clear that he supports the position of the king of Quebec returning to the country, but the words are not clear, he does not explicitly support the restoration of Napoleon in Aosta, but uses the word "return", and the use of the king of Quebec, instead of Napoleon III like the Bonapartists, is obviously reserved.

The Bonapartists had already begun to push through the proceedings in the Reichstag, while touring all over France, and the possibility of Napoleon's restoration was becoming more and more likely. Once they passed the resolution of the National Assembly to call a referendum, the restoration of Bonaparte was almost inevitable. The peasants, who made up the overwhelming majority of the electorate, could hardly oppose the Bonapartes.

At this time, the countries of the world began to express their attitudes, and Britain had reservations for the time being, they only expressed their support for the restoration of the King of Quebec to France, and they reaffirmed the relevant treaties of Quebec signed in Nanjing, in which the power of the Kingdom of Quebec was ensured, and Napoleon had renounced all claims to France. Aosta Bonaparte, and there is no reasonable basis for restoration.

The British have been communicating with the Quebec royal family in Quebec, and the results are not yet available.

Tsar Alexander of Russia, however, made it clear that he was opposed, and I don't know whether it was out of the expansion of Russian influence throughout Europe, or whether the Tsar's ambitions had been rekindled in recent years, and Russia's attitude was the clearest. Russia is not at odds with France, and they do not need to make a statement urgently.

Austria's attitude is confusing, their country, the relationship with Napoleon is too special, mainly because of the marriage with Napoleon under the auspices of Metternich. At that time, Napoleon's identity was despised by the big aristocratic circles in Europe, and Russia could be forced by Napoleon's pressure to implement Napoleon's continental blockade policy, but when Napoleon proposed to the Russian royal family, hoping to marry the Tsar's sister, the Tsar clearly refused, and privately said that he could not bear to marry his beloved sister to the French "cannibal monster". Of course, there are also theories that the tsar had an affair with his sister.

However, Metternich persuaded the Austrian royal family to marry Princess Louis to Napoleon, and finally gave birth to the King of Rome. After Napoleon established a kingdom in Quebec, Princess Louis was the Grand Duchess of Parma in Northern Italy, and her reign here was relatively good, with some political achievements, some construction and reforms, Napoleon quickly married her lover after her death, and married a second lover after her death, perhaps to make up for the love that could not be obtained in Napoleon, this female archduchess was obsessed with finding a lover in her private life. But she is the daughter of the Emperor of Austria, the sister of the current Emperor of Austria, and the King of Quebec is her grandson and the nephew of the current Emperor of Austria.

Because of this background, Austria could actually support the restoration of the Bonaparte dynasty. This helped to strengthen Austria's relations with France, especially when they were going to fight back against Russia.

With Bismarck's efforts, Prussia decided to support the restoration of the Bonaparte dynasty, and their envoys went to North America to communicate with the Quebec royal family and the prime minister, and the two sides communicated very happily, and the old fox Aosta, the old fox, agreed to support Prussia's expansion in Poland in exchange for Prussia's support for them, in fact, they had nothing to lose.

By this time, the French Bonapartians had done everything, and at the most critical moment, President Louis Bonaparte sided with his nephew, who came forward to win over a large number of bankers and big bourgeois forces to get the parliament to pass a bill for a referendum. Apparently in this diplomatic action, Louis Bonaparte also got what he deserved.

The referendum was presided over by Louis Bonaparte himself, and within a month, the results came out, with ninety percent of the votes, the French people supported the restoration of the French imperial system, and supported the restoration of the king of Quebec, Napoleon Maria Aosta Bonaparte.

After this result was announced, Prussia was the first to publicly declare its acceptance of the choice of the French people. He supported the Bonaparte family in power in France and expressed Prussia's friendly attitude towards France.

Russia continued to call for European monarchs to unite to maintain the centuries-old order of power in Europe, but Louis Bonaparte succeeded in convincing Britain to accept a son of a young Napoleonic family to return to the throne and convince the British that the French Empire would not pose a threat to Britain.

China also expressed its attitude at this time, saying that the friendship between China and the Napoleonic family is very deep, China supports the Bonaparte family to take power in France, and at the same time, the Chinese emperor will give the Bonaparte family a personal gift, a bronze statue of Napoleon cast using the traditional Chinese bronze casting process.

After China made its clear statement, Austria issued a statement welcoming the Bonaparte family back to power, and everyone else supported it, they welcomed it, and the intensity was completely different.

With the support of Austro-Prussia, the silence of Britain, and the ardent anticipation of the French, Russia is alone, and there is no suspense about this matter.

The attitude of the Russian Tsar, although not to turn France into an enemy, indirectly helped Prussia to clear the rear threat and remove one of the biggest obstacles to the independence of the German nation, and Russia bore the brunt of the German nation's march towards independence.

The French sent a huge welcome team, escorted by six French ironclad ships, to North America to meet the king of Quebec.

Both Prussia and Austria sent representatives to France to congratulate the restoration of the Bonapartes, and Austria in particular sent a sizable contingent of nobles.

In fact, it was enough for them to send only one person, and it was enough for Archduchess of Parma, Marie Louise, because Archduchess Marie was the grandmother of Aosta Bonaparte, and her surname was Habsburg!

When Aosta Bonaparte landed at Le Havre, France, and then quickly entered Paris, where his accession to the throne was announced at the Palace of Versailles, Bismarck himself attended the enthronement ceremony, and in the midst of the celebratory dances, he heard the trumpets of the Prussian army marching towards Moscow!

The accession to the throne of the French emperor meant for him the completion of the last link in the isolation of Russia.

All that's left is to find a trivial reason and go to war with Russia!
