readx;?“ Juan wins! Is that really what Jason's telegram says? "The time in Paris is eight hours ahead of Donghua, and it is already 7 a.m. on November 2. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ(.. Mathilde had just slept for a short time, and the nightlife of the French court was really colorful, and Mathilde went to bed at two or three o'clock in the morning every day and slept until noon the next day. So, now she is in her own bed to meet Maria. Clementina.

"Won! His 1.2 million troops have crushed the Americans' 1.8 million troops, and the U.S. Army's Missouri River defense line has collapsed! ”

"Thank God that I gave birth to a great commander!" Mathilde, dressed in a silk nightgown, hurriedly drew a cross on his chest. "Maria, can you tell me? How did Juan do it? How did he defeat 1.8 million with 1.2 million people? The Empress of Mexico was completely sleepy, and her face was full of relief and joy.

You gave birth to a great commander, but you want my son to go to North America to be the king of Beihua and his companion. Henry is so pathetic...... Maria. Clementina thought this in her heart, but her face did not reveal it at all.

"I think you can listen to Jason for yourself." Maria. "He wants to meet with you in Mexico to discuss the partition of the Confederate States of America." ”

"Partition of the Confederate States of America? Have you come this far? Is the war about to be won? Mathilde opened his mouth with a look of surprise.

Maria pursed her mouth and said with a faint smile: "Of course, the war will not be won so quickly, but if France and the Roman Empire can help Juan, the day of victory is not far off." ”

"You mean going to war?" Mathilde shook his head repeatedly, "Maria." If only I could. I would have brought France into the war long ago. But I can't...... Napoleon III left behind an empire that was strong from the outside. The population is too small, the industrial strength is insufficient, and it is not united enough, the army will only defend, and the navy will be equally insufficient. ”

Mathilde, though not a true emperor, saw very well the weaknesses of the French world empire. The problems faced by this empire were actually similar to those of Britain, and it did not have a strong core. Although the empire's territory spanned both sides of the Atlantic, it was extremely glorious. But at its core, France itself. However, with a population of more than 30 million, its industrial strength is not as good as that of Germany, the army cannot afford huge casualties, and the navy is weaker than that of Britain. If there is no war, such a world empire is majestic and not to be offended. But if you really want to fight, you can't be sure at all.

In a way, the death of Napoleon III and the rise to power of Mathilde were really a good thing for the French. Although the neutrality and defensive national policy deprived France of its honorable supremacy, it preserved its practical interests. Turtle cowering in Jérôme. France behind the Peel Line was not easy to beat. This line of defense is not comparable to the improvised line built by the Americans on the banks of the Missouri River, it is a permanent fortification that the French have spent more than a decade and countless gold francs carefully constructing. It is as strong as the historical Maginot Line. And the Maginot Line is only half a line, and Jérôme . The Peel Line was a whole line - France was now at its most prosperous, with markets and resources for almost all of Latin America and most of Africa, and the French had no shortage of a few gold francs in their pockets.

"France will not be allowed to enter the war, but it will only give the states of the Confederate States of America a chance to withdraw from the war." Maria sat down on the edge of Mathilde's bed. "Jason's telegram said that the main force of the Confederate States of America is likely to be besieged and annihilated in Kansas City, and without this army, the independence of the Confederate States has become difficult to maintain, and some of these states may join the American Empire."

"That's why Jason wants France to intervene?" Mathilde sat on the soft bed, his brow furrowed slightly, "What do you want me to do?" To form a new kingdom of France so that the states of the Confederate States of America can join it? ”

"Isn't that bad? France expanded its power without a war, and the French would have been satisfied. And Juan will support this plan as well. Oh, by the way, didn't he always want to carve up North America with France? ”

"There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world," Mathilde reminded Maria, "Juan is my son, and I would not know about his ambitions?" When he defeats Britain and the United States, he will definitely target the Kingdom of New France. I'm afraid that once I'm gone, Juan will take action on this new French kingdom! ”

"That's for the future, Marty, and maybe you can arrange a beautiful female Napoleon for New France." Maria half-jokingly, "In this way, Donghua and New France may be able to walk together peacefully." ”

"What are you kidding? Maria, how many French people do you think would consider Juan as their own? ”

"Let Napoleon IV himself be the monarch of the new kingdom of France, and I believe that Juan will not break with the French and Roman empires for the sake of several states in the southern part of the United States."

A wry smile appeared on Mathilde's face: "It's hard to say, okay, I'll just go to Mexico and meet Jason in Mexico City." Maria, are you going with me? ”

"No, I'm still going to stay in Europe, there's still a lot going on."

"To dig into the corners of the British? By the way, how are you getting in touch with the Jacobite party? ”

"That's up to you." Maria. Clementina said, "Maria. Theresia was very interested in the English throne, but she did not have the strength to acquire it. ”

Maria. Theresia is the wife of the current Duke of Bavaria, Ludwig, the royal family of the Kingdom of Bavaria, the eldest son of Prince Lütbold, although he has been the king of Bavaria for a long time in history, but now this Ludwig is still a long way from the throne. In addition, the Kingdom of Bavaria was not an independent state, but a vassal of the German Empire, and the future of the kingdom was not very promising due to the rise of German nationalism. In this case, Maria. Theresia certainly wouldn't refuse to be Queen of England...... Actually, there is such an opportunity now! Because the Queen Victoria of the British Empire went to Toronto in the name of the royal expedition, there is some intention to make Toronto the new capital of the British Empire. Such signs naturally made the British people a little dissatisfied, but they were not fully revealed because of the overall situation of the War of Resistance against China.

"Marty, this is a godsend." Maria. Clementina whispered, "If Victoria's adventure in North America fails, there is a good chance that there will be a revolution against the Hanoverian dynasty in England, and then it will be a good opportunity for the restoration of the Jacobite Party." If you can install a Queen of England, no one can shake France's hegemony in Europe. ”

Mathilde looked at Maria. Clementina, shaking her head after a while, "It's not the time yet. Then she sighed again, "Maria, Napoleon III and I have left such a large family fortune to France, but can the latecomers of France keep it?" Now Juan has won such a big victory...... I'm really worried! ”

The latecomer refers to Napoleon IV, a young man who thought he was a great military strategist. All day long, he was eager to lead France to war, and if it weren't for Mathilde and Eugenie's hard work, France would probably have been defeated by someone by now. If the Napoleon saw his cousin Jujuan's brilliant battles in North America, he would have been even more itchy.

"Then eliminate all dangers of war before the latecomers take power," said Maria. Clementina said, "If the Jacobite Party had come to power in England and the Germans and Slavs had been kept in check, French hegemony in Europe would not have been shaken." There are also some arrangements to be made in North America, and that's just up to you to talk to Jason. ”

"I hope so." Mathilde sighed and looked at Maria, "Maria, I still want to sleep for a while, and in the afternoon I will go to Paris to meet the Queen Mother Eugénie and arrange my trip to Mexico." (To be continued.) )
