The third more

"Your Excellency the President, is this plan too accommodating to Berlin?"

When Foreign Minister Dekaz got the plan given to him by His Excellency the President, he was more than surprised but more incomprehensible.

"A similar scheme could be applied to all the coal and steel production in France and Germany under the control of a high-level joint venture in which both sides could participate, and the tariffs on the circulation of coal and steel between the two member states would be harmonized through negotiation. Crazy, this is simply crazy, how could the Germans agree to such a whimsical plan at a time when all European countries are building trade barriers? ”

This is Napoleon's plan for the joint production of coal and steel, a castrated version of the Schumann plan after World War II, which the Germans would not have agreed with by and did not conform to the mainstream in Europe, but Napoleon only needed to let one person know about it.

The new German king, Frederick III, the new emperor who wanted to make a diplomatic difference, must have been very interested in the olive branch that France had thrown out.

"Yes, I never thought of getting the Germans to agree to this plan from the beginning, and how could a joint plan be carried out in a world of imperialist expansion, when everyone is trying to protect their own industry?"

"That's still ......"

This was just a gesture to make the new Frederick III see that France did not want to conflict with Germany now, but wanted to live in peace and friendship. The king, who had always opposed Bismarck's militaristic plans, would have bypassed the prime minister's relationship and tried to make contact with Paris alone, and then our opportunity had come. ”

Foreign Minister Dekaz's eyes lit up, and he finally understood the essence of this plan.

"Is this an attempt to sow discord?"

He said excitedly, "I know, Bismarck will try his best to obstruct it, and Frederick III, out of the purpose of opposing the prime minister, will negotiate with France more firmly." At that time, the contradiction between the emperor and the prime minister will erupt, and the prime minister who does not obey the king will have only one choice. ”

Bismarck, who had two ups and downs, finally faced the situation of stepping down, and I don't know what kind of mood the old man who has dedicated half his life to the German royal family will be.

Napoleon smiled and said, "Yes, the joint production of coal and steel is a disguise, and the focus is to sow discord between them, well, the next actions of the Foreign Office will revolve around this plan, remember, we must show a friendly and cooperative attitude in front of Germany." In any case, France and Germany had fought each other twice, and they no longer wanted to continue the war. That's where we come in. ”

Dekaz was finally convinced, and he agreed to Napoleon's plan.

"Okay, I'll make a series of arrangements to make sure Frederick III gets into this trap."

After admonishing the others, Napoleon left the Tuileries in a low-key manner and headed for the Four Seasons Hotel next to the Place du Louvre. He had one more thing to accomplish.

Visiting his bedridden nephew, Napoleon III.

At this time, Louis Bonaparte was resting in bed, accompanied only by Eugénie, and a man who fell from the pinnacle of power often collapsed.

Especially when he was shrouded in the shadow of Napoleon, he had no chance to turn over.

Here he hides from the eyes of the world, and waits quietly to die.

His days are numbered. The illness tortured him to the point of being so skinny that it was difficult to even turn his head. After the glitz and glamour of the past dissipated, all that was left for Louis was loneliness.

I can't escape the loneliness of death.

Ten years ago, the Second Reich was history, and now the whole of France remembers Napoleon who saved France once again, not the thief under the guise of the Napoleonic myth.

The Bonapartists almost disappeared under the repression of the Parisian government, and they no longer dared to openly express their support for the Bonaparte family, and the most ironic thing is that the president was clearly the leader of the Bonaparte family.

Knowing that his time was short, Louis still had the last bit of selfishness, for the sake of the Bonaparte family, hoping that Napoleon would be able to promote his son.

Louis stretched out a hand and grabbed Napoleon's sleeve tightly, he coughed twice, and said slowly, "For the sake of the Bonaparte family, you will help my son, right?" I'll keep your secret until I die, and you'll help him, right? ”

Napoleon did not answer him directly to this question, he took a stool and sat down, comforting his nephew on the bed, "The army has already been arranged, France has a colonization war next, and he will send it to Tahiti." You know what I mean, if he can win his place in this war, then everything will be counted according to the French system of military merit. ”

To this end, he also specifically vetoed Conrobert and Brobaki's request to be the commanders of Operation Tahiti, and he forbade any royalist-inclined military top brass to be involved in the plan.

In any case, the historical Napoleon IV finally died at the hands of the Zulu people in South Africa, and he did so only in accordance with the development of the times.

In order to make Louis Bonaparte feel at ease, he also deliberately left a little thought for the other party.

Only Eugenie had a gloomy face.

"One more thing, the French government is going to expel all the royal families who have ruled Paris, you know what that means, including the Bonapartes, maybe you should contact the British and see if they will take them in."

Hearing this, Eugenie, the regent of the Bonaparte party, screamed.

"You can't do this to us, don't you forget that you're also a member of the Bonaparte family?"

Napoleon leaned his arm against the chair and turned his head to mock her, "Have you forgotten Eugenie, in the eyes of you so-called blood orthodoxy, I am just a clown who pretends to be Napoleon, what's wrong?" Are you impatient to have sex with me now? ”

Eugenie was so choked that she had nothing to say, and finally could only say unbearably, "Yes, you are not Napoleon at all, and you don't even have the ambition to usurp power in France." The Bonaparte family is ashamed of you! ”

"I'm a national interest supremacist."

Napoleon laughed at himself and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm emperor or not." At the beginning, Napoleon only chose to centralize power in order to purge the feudal forces in the country. Now that the royalist forces in the country have disappeared even the last rays of the setting sun, what chance do they have to re-establish the monarchy? ”

Eugénie did not speak, and she did not dare to attack the French president. After the agents of the French intelligence organization kept an almost constant eye on the Bonaparte family, and after suppressing the royalists, the Orleans party and them became targeted.

"Anyway, Napoleon IV has already entered the army, and what heights he can climb depends on his own ability. I'm not going to open a back door for the people of the Bonaparte, never. ”

Napoleon stood up, and he walked towards Eugenie, step by step. Finally, he stayed one step away from her and said softly, "From now on, this country will only belong to the people, not to any family." I represent the interests of France, not of any one family. ”
