readx;?“ The unity of Rome and Russia will mean a great union of the Western world! ”

"The British Empire has bowed its haughty head to Augustus, the United States has become a de facto vassal of Rome, and now the Tsar has asked Rome for protection, and the whole West has undoubtedly fallen at the feet of the Roman Empire!"

"The world of the future is that the Great Roman Empire and the Great Chinese Empire are evenly matched, and the superiority of the Western world in industry and science and technology will ensure that the Roman Empire will overwhelm China and become the hegemon of the world!"

"The time has come for the Roman Empire to dominate the world!"

After the news of the Russian Empire's "dedication" of the future empress spread in the Roman court, the senators of the Roman Empire naturally celebrated - now they only have to wait for the son of Napoleon IV, the real successor of the entire Roman Empire, to be born and grow up, and then marry the Russian Empress Alexandra I, and the Roman Empire and the Russian Empire will become one!

At least according to Napoleon IV and his ministers, this is how the future will be - after the union of Rome and Russia, the Roman Empire will establish an undisputed hegemony in Europe, and even if the German Empire were truly united, it will not be possible to oppose Rome.

In the New World, although the Yellow race was also very powerful in Donghua, Beihua, and New Japan, the Western Empire still had the advantage.

"Together, New France and the United States of America have a territory of more than 3 million square kilometers and a white population of more than 3,000. The Kingdom of Mexico also has 16 million people and more than 2 million square kilometers, and the United Kingdom of Central America has 10 million people and 430,000 square kilometers. On the North American continent alone, the Roman Empire and its allies had more than 5.4 million square kilometers and a population of 56 million. Although the land area is not as large as that of Donghua and Beihua. But the population is 3 times that of the Chinese! ”

"But the Kingdom of Mexico is an uncertain factor. His Majesty Mathilde has appointed Jujuan, King of Donghua, as his heir! In the future, Juan is likely to promote the merger of the Kingdom of Mexico and Donghua! ”

"The heir to the throne of Mexico is Juan. Morality. Napoleon. Morality. Marshal Bonaparte! He was the marshal of the Roman Empire! ”

"But at the same time, Jujuan. The father of the future king of Donghua is most likely the actual ruler of the Donghua Kingdom. Once he took control of the Kingdom of Mexico, the East China-Mexican Empire would be the overlord of North America! ”

"This is impossible, not to mention that the Roman Empire will not agree, even the Chinese themselves will not agree, otherwise Juan . Morality. Napoleon. Morality. Marshal Bonaparte would not have given up the throne of King Donghua to his son. ”

"But it's still very inappropriate for Juan to inherit Mexico!"

Several senators of the Roman Empire began to argue about the fact that Jujuan, the king of Donghua, became the crown prince of Mexico, and after Juan said that he would renounce the throne of Donghua, the Ming monarchs did not regard him as a potential threat for the time being. But the patriarchs of the Roman Empire began to oppose his succession to Mexico.

Several of the elders from Mexico immediately stood up to speak for Mathilde and Juan.

"His Majesty Caesar's arrangement is entirely for the sake of the Roman Empire, Rome needs time to put things in order, there are still many variables in Europe, and there are people in South America who are rebelling. At this time, the empire could not turn its face with China, and Marshal Juan was the guarantee of peace between Rome and China! ”

"Even if Mexico and Donghua merge in the future, the hegemony of the Roman Empire will not be much lost, but it will make the Great China Empire lose the two pillars of Donghua and Beihua!"

"And His Majesty Caesar's prestige in the Kingdom of Mexico is too high, and the Mexicans will not accept any other candidate for crown prince except her son! If Rome thinks Juan. Morality. Napoleon. Morality. Marshal Bonaparte was not yet reliable. Then give him another queen who is the right person......"

Jujuan was of course married, but polygamous marriages in the Donghua Kingdom were invalid for Roman Catholicism. In the eyes of the Catholics of the Kingdom of Mexico. Donghua Crown Prince Zhu Bangyu is only an illegitimate child, not qualified to inherit Juan's throne in the future - let alone Zhu Juan, even the historical Napoleon I has no problem with this kind of marriage and inheritance system, there are a bunch of illegitimate children, or no successor, and finally had to divorce Empress Joseph and marry Mary of Austria. Princess Louisa gave birth to Napoleon II, François. Joseph. Shire. Bonaparte.

So Mathilde I wanted to find a "legal wife" for Juan from the European royal family to ensure that the throne could be inherited in the future.

But Mathilde's act of passing the throne to Jujuan seemed to Napoleon IV to be almost like dividing the Roman Empire! Augustus was in a bad mood, and there seemed to be a cloud in the Palace of Versailles. It was only when the news came that the Russian tsar was willing to betrothed the future Empress Alexandra to the unborn heir of Napoleon IV that Napoleon IV was barely relieved of his bad mood.

In fact, the Roman Empire is now at a critical crossroads in history, and although it is the only superpower in the Western world, its leadership has not yet been fully established. Not to mention the fact that, as in the case of the Great Chinese Empire, a series of treaties have been used to define the respective rights and obligations of the member states.

To make matters worse, the Roman Empire did not have a single leader, but rather a two-headed rule - Napoleon IV had hoped that after Mathilde's death, Caesar would be handed over to his son, thus finally establishing the "Augusto-Caesar succession".

But Mathilde spared no effort to support Juan, who is now the heir to the throne of Mexico, and may be the heir to Caesar of the Roman Empire and the consuls of the Western Empire in the future! In the history of the ancient Roman Empire, the Eastern and Western Empires were officially divided into two in the time of Theodosius!

"Your Majesty, I have just received news that the Chinese have completely suspended their support for Russia. This was revenge on the Russian tsar, the Archduchess Alexandra, who was married to the Bonaparte dynasty. The Russian envoy expressed the hope that Rome could receive food and economic aid. ”

"Then let's help a little bit depending on the situation. By the way, what about the UK? Has the unrest in London subsided? ”

"It's basically subsided, but the situation is still very shaky, and if the battle to defend the pound fails, London will definitely be in turmoil again."

"Well, that's what we're after!"

Talking to Napoleon IV was Charles Brown, the tribune of the Eastern Empire. Kuzan. Montauban, the historical Earl of Baliqiao - the one who defeated Monk Lingqin at Baliqiao, in this time and space, he did not become the commander of the Anglo-French army, but established meritorious service in the North American War and received a higher marquis. After the North American War, he entered politics again, and is now the "prime minister" of the entire Eastern Empire.

The matter of "aid" to Britain was the responsibility of the Marquis de Montauban and Chancellor of the Exchequer Mani. Of course, the two of them are just names, and the Rothschilds and the Berellas, the two most powerful and wealthy Jewish banker families in the Roman Empire, are the ones who really give advice and even go into battle.

"We're not really going to lend the British 5 billion gold francs, are we?" Napoleon IV asked. Even the glorious and wealthy Roman Empire would not treat 5 billion gold francs as a small amount of money, and Napoleon IV was certainly not willing to waste them all.

"Of course not, at most 1 billion gold francs will be lent to the British," the Marquis de Montauban laughed, "and the remaining 4 billion gold francs will be vetoed by the Senate." ”

"This method is good, it's not that we don't count, it's that the Senate doesn't agree, we Rome is a constitutional state! But the British still have 4 billion gold francs, right? Will it be possible to stabilize the situation with these golden francs? ”

The Marquis of Montauban looked up and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "How can it be stable?" When the time comes, everyone will collect the gold franc and spend the pound in their hands as soon as possible, and the currency in the market will not decrease at all. ”

"Yes, it must be." Although Napoleon IV did not understand finance, he still understood this truth. The gold franc could not be used for food and clothing, and the British people exchanged the gold franc only to hide it in place of savings, and did not even dare to deposit it in British banks.

"And once the Bank of England is no longer able to sell the gold franc, all the British people will think that the pound will definitely collapse, and then the huge psychological expectation will be self-fulfilling, and people will take out all the pounds in their hands and pour into the market to buy supplies as soon as possible. Grain, cloth, clocks, jewelry, ...... Everything that can be bought will be swept away. Then there is the inevitable high inflation! The situation, which has now stabilized, will be tense again, and there will be no power to save the British Empire unless Rome intervenes! ”

Napoleon IV nodded, "Once Rome sends troops, the British Empire will be controlled by Rome." But...... Could British India have been invaded by China at that time? That's the most valuable possession of the British Empire! ”

"There is such a possibility, but as long as we unite with Russia and control Great Britain, we will have enough capital to put pressure on the Chinese to force them to abandon their intention to annex India."

"Give India back to Britain?" Napoleon IV was somewhat reluctant. A Britain with India is still too strong!

"India can be made independent!" The Marquis of Montauban said, "It is best for Rome and China to guarantee the independence of India." ”

"Very well, that's it." Napoleon IV pondered for a moment, "So what about the Western Empire?" Mathilde's mother-son ambition is a threat after all! ”

Montauban frowned slightly, "Without Mathilde's mother and son, where would there be the current Western Empire?" Your Majesty, our influence in the Western Empire is far less than that of Mathilde and Juan...... I don't think it's time to turn the other cheek with them. And I think that the real source of trouble in the Western Empire is not the Mathilde mother and son, but the prosperity of the Kingdom of Mexico! (To be continued.) )
