You think that the Anglo-French forces are united, but you are wrong. Not long after entering 1858, an assassination of the French Emperor Napoleon III shocked the world in Paris. This incident caused a serious diplomatic crisis in Britain and France.

Reuters' Paris bureau quickly spread the news to the BBC studio, and since the establishment of the BBC, in addition to the confrontation between the Grand Duke of Luxembourg and Prussia, another major explosive news spread quickly through the airwaves, and this time it was really literally explosive.

The news anchor on duty was none other than the BBC's first and still leading lady of the Camellias, and her voice was visibly nervous and slightly unnatural: "Attention listeners, please listeners, I would like to present to you a breaking news that we have just received from Paris. According to a Reuters report, on the evening of January 14, a man named Phyllis? Orsini's Italian radical revolutionaries orchestrated a bombing in Paris against the French Emperor Napoleon III. Orsini used a powerful explosive that was detonated on the way to the Opera House in Perettier. The scene of the explosion was quite chaotic, according to eyewitnesses, at least more than 100 Parisian citizens present were affected by the explosion, at least 8 innocent citizens died on the spot, and the fate of the French emperor is unknown.

At the request of Empress Eugenie, who was slightly injured in the explosion, most of the citizens and the emperor's escort who were injured in the explosion have already been taken to the Windsor hospital in Paris. According to the research and clinical trials of Windsor Hospital, 200 ml to 400 ml of blood donation will not cause health problems to the human body, but will stimulate the body's hematopoietic function, please rest assured.

It is understood that Orsini, who was arrested shortly after fleeing the crime scene, is a radical Italian unification activist, the leader of the Italian Charcoal Party. The Charcoal Burners are a secret group dedicated to the establishment of a unified constitutional monarchy or republic in Italy, named after the charcoal trade that was practiced during the initiation ceremony of new members, and the large number of charcoal burners among their original members. It is reported that Napoleon III joined the Charcoal Burning Party when he was young, and may have taken extreme measures because the current Charcoal Burners expressed disappointment with Napoleon III's policies.

The charcoal-burning party's hatred of France may also have originated during the Napoleon the Great, when the vast wealth of the Italian peninsula conquered by Napoleon the Great was looted for Napoleon's war to conquer Europe, in the war against Russia, a total of 30,000 Italian soldiers joined the expeditionary force, and finally Napoleon the Great's 500,000 troops were defeated by the Russian winter, and only 300 of the 30,000 Italian soldiers survived. After Napoleon's defeat in 1815, Italy was divided into 8 states, some of which were directly controlled by Austria and Spain and ruled by ****. The Charcoal Burners were quite unhappy with this, and their members were prepared to achieve their political goals by means of assassination and armed revolution when they joined the association. ”

This is typical of the Telegraph and BBC reporting style, pointing out only facts and basic historical facts, without criticizing morality or politics. In order to avoid further irritating the emotions of the French people, the BBC also withheld a heavyweight message in this broadcast - the base camp of the charcoal burners is the United Kingdom, mainly Birmingham.

Since the Emperor of France, who is now the land, inherited part of the prestige of Napoleon the Great, he naturally inherited part of the hatred, which is not to blame. Orsini, one of the leaders of the Charcoal Party, corresponded with Napoleon III several times, and when he was hopeless with the support of the French Emperor, he resorted to assassination.

The BBC and other British media did not report on the assassination plots of the Charcoal Burners in the UK, and the French media did not get along so well, and they dug up several terrorist acts against France in recent years, most of which came from the UK. These claims were soon endorsed by the French government, and the French people were so excited that Britain should give an explanation. British Prime Minister Palmerston's diplomatic situation suddenly felt like an eyebrow burning.

Because of winning the Crimean War, the French washed away the shame of Napoleon the Great's defeat in Russia, so Napoleon III was still quite prestigious, and the emperor of the French people was seriously injured in the explosion, which made the French from officials to the military to the people quite angry, and the French army even began to mobilize, possibly starting a war against Britain. The British rushed to recruit volunteers, and the French went crazy.

The Times liked nothing more than to add to Downing's troubles, and they dug up an "interesting" grapevine that the explosives that Orsini used to commit the murder came from a chemist named Williams in Birmingham, who worked for Downing's Suez Canal Company's engineering blasting department. At the time of the bombing, Napoleon III and the Empress rode in a MINI presented to heads of state by the Oxford Motor Factory, and all the cars given to heads of state had their glass tempered and had a certain bulletproof ability, so the French emperor and Empress couple did not end their lives by powerful explosives. In other words, the French emperor and empress were attacked by dynamite invented by Downing, but were saved by the bulletproof car invented by Downing, and finally sent to Windsor Hospital. The dignified French emperor seems to have been ******** by Downing's invention.

As for whether Downing played a glorious or dishonorable role in this incident, his descendants commented that Palmerston was in great trouble this time anyway, and that under great diplomatic pressure, he could consider resigning, and he might be prosecuted by the court, because his cabinet did nothing about the conspiracy against France that had been planned in Britain many times, and created a situation of possible war in Anglo-French relations.

The Telegraph did not say that the conspiracy was planned in Britain, nor did it say that the explosives that exploded originated from the Suez Canal Company, which is not funny. The Times, on the other hand, has unscrupulously hyped up their newspaper sales, and the Times is better to see the "good-looking" news!

Was England of this period believing in Adam? Smith's classical free marketism, Palmerston himself was Adam when he went to university in Scotland? Smith's students, pro-students! Classical marketism is completely liberal, and there are no restrictions on the entry of foreigners, and all foreign businessmen, including criminals, can freely enter and leave Britain, which is why Hugo, Marx, Engels, Charcoal Burners, and a large number of people who have been expelled from their own countries have come to Britain for refuge. There are also no extradition regulations for criminals, so foreigners can stay safely in the UK as long as the other party is not guilty of the offence in the UK.

Because there was no extradition regulation, when the French government sent officials to London to demand restrictions on the rights of criminals, the British saw it as gross interference in Britain's internal affairs, exacerbating political tensions between the two countries.

The common people of France love the emperor and want to fight for the emperor, but the emperor himself is still sober-minded, France can defeat the Russians in non-Russian territory, but to invade Britain, it is absolutely impossible, the Royal Navy of the British Empire is invincible in the world, Napoleon the Great could not invade the British mainland back then, how can he, the pseudo-Napoleon, surpass the power of his uncle? Not only that, but he also turned a blind eye to the Queen's recent frequent exchange of telegrams through the Archduke of Luxembourg's concern for the Queen's injury.

Do the math, five or six years have passed since Tangning's grudge with the French emperor, and it has long been an old calendar to compete for the republicans and Eugenie. At first, Downing simply asked how the "old friend" and his wife were doing, and finally talked more and more with Eugenie, who talked to him about many joys and sorrows of their reign in France, and finally, quite sincerely, invited the Grand Duke of Luxembourg to visit Paris.

Speaking of which, Downing has never been to this world-famous city. Do you want to actually go there?

However, after thinking about it, Downing had no reason to go to France ruled by a self-righteous emperor, so he forgot about it, and instead invited the French emperor and empress to visit London after she was in good health.

Diplomatic relations between Britain and France have become increasingly strained, and the armies of both sides have been preparing for a possible conflict, and Prime Minister Palmerston finally resigned on February 19, the Liberal Party he founded and led was defeated, and the Conservative Party Derby formed a weak government.

The unexpected event did not affect the happy event of the British royal family - the eldest prince of Victoria was mainly married. The royal family led by the queen believes that the increasingly arrogant atheist tycoon Grand Duke Windsor is not suitable to participate in the wedding of the eldest princess, however, the eldest princess regards herself as a good student of the grand duke and strongly asks to invite the grand duke to her big wedding, and the daughter has grown up and has the support of her father, so the grand duke still received an invitation from the royal family.

The wedding on 25 January was scheduled to take place in St. James's Square, just right next to the East India Company building, where the Grand Duke and his "fiancée" would settle down, and the Grand Duke would even be able to preside over a meeting in the building's chamber on how to improve the efficiency of the East India Company's governance in India. The chairman has set the tone for free trade for his "Indian Control Council", and the specific implementation method will be discussed by political elites who are familiar with India. His committee members included a control committee from the former British Cabinet of Ministers, and the topic of the committee changed from how to reap the benefits and maximize profits in India to how to improve the economy and people's livelihoods in India.

The Grand Duke of Windsor was a very controversial figure, and his atheism and iron-fisted handling of mercenary rebellions had a considerable negative reaction among the people, but the mere fact that he convened a conference of Indian statecraft for such a purpose was enough to win the respect of the councillors.

Under the tone set by the Grand Duke, Indian cultural protectionists emerged on the committee, accusing East India Company officials of vandalism of the Taj Mahal, a famous Mughal building in northern India, during the suppression of the rebellion last year. The gems and lapis lazuli on the walls of the Taj Mahal were stolen by these vandals and ruined to pieces. It was not the first time that the East India Company had done such a good thing, but it would henceforth be punished, and the gems acquired by the soldiers and officials from the Taj Mahal had to be handed over to the "Ministry of Culture" under the responsibility of the cultural preservationist, and the company would allocate a certain amount of funds to begin registering India's famous buildings and enacting laws to protect them.

After the East India Company took over the administration from the British, it was not financially adequate, and it still allocated a considerable budget for the implementation of cultural protection under such circumstances, which shows the sincerity of the new regime for the development of India. For Downing, this is a matter of course, and in the future, it will rely on treasures like the Taj Mahal to develop tourism.
