Chapter 123: The Destroyer of European Monarchs

The second watch, there are two more, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a monthly pass

Louis Bonaparte stood in front of the mirror, slowly shaving his beard with a razor, and in the mirror he looked haggard. He is sixty-two years old, and he has long lost the energy and ambition of his youth, and now he is more like a down-and-out old man.

Empress Eugenie, who was nearly twenty years apart, stood behind him, gazing affectionately at her husband, and the fears of those days vanished at this time. As long as he was by her side, Eugenie would not be afraid.

"Louie."

He looked at her with a smile, and Eugenie spoke softly and walked up to Louis Bonaparte, who took her into his arms and was about to say something. A cough from the door interrupted the two.

Napoleon stood in the doorway, softly alerting the two of them of his presence. He explained, "I'm sorry, I can only temporarily wronged you to live here. The Tuileries Palace is no longer the residence of Louis Bonaparte and is now owned by the Provisional Government of the Third Reich. ”

Louis let go of his embrace, he calmly looked at the man behind him who looked exactly like his uncle, and asked softly, "Who are you?" ”

Napoleon replied equally calmly.

"Your uncle, Napoleon."

"No, you are an impostor, my uncle has been dead for a long time, and even if he is resurrected, he should not be this young, you are just a liar pretending to be Napoleon, and there is no such person as you in the genealogy of the Bonaparte family."

Eugenie looked at her husband worriedly, afraid that Louie's offense would anger the ruler in front of her.

Louis had been imprisoned in the Prussian army for too long to be aware of Napoleon's horrific executions of royalists.

"If you don't believe me, then pretend I'm your uncle and accompany me through the play. Don't forget, my nephew Louis, that I have given you the freedom you have now, and I only need some influential person in the Bonaparte family to identify with me, and you are the best choice. ”

"By the way, I'm sorry for slapping you twice in front of everyone today, when the plot required it."

Napoleon politely reminded the other party that he was still a caged bird, but he was transferred from the German cage to his own hands, and that his nephew would not have a few years to live anyway, and that he would soon be the first to go, and it would be better to exert the last bit of political influence before he died, and declare himself the rightful heir of the Bonaparte family.

"In addition to political considerations, there is also a reason that my younger brother, who is also your father. The two of us were at odds over trade between the Netherlands and England, and your father resigned from the throne of the Dutch king in a fit of rage and went to Florence, perhaps the most regrettable mistake I have ever made. ”

Louis had lost everything, and in the face of the last bit of kindness of the person in front of him, he nodded softly and said, "How long will this scene be played?" ”

Napoleon said, "Until I die." ”

In Louie's opinion, he may have gone earlier than the imposter in front of him.

Napoleon turned to look at Eugénie, who was evasive, and said with a smile, "The patience of the French is very limited, please stop encouraging your husband to make certain dangerous moves, such as slander about the restoration." Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that the mob in Paris will do anything drastic. And when this incident is over, the two of you will spend the rest of your lives in peace, away from the political maelstrom of Paris in a small town in the south of France. ”

"How are you going to clean up this mess?"

Louis finally got to the point, the Franco-Prussian War was a mess caused by him and his wife, and if it weren't for the strong instigation of the main war faction led by Empress Eugenie, the situation would not have turned out as it is now.

"How to solve it, is it possible that France is now winning against Prussia? At most, we can beat Prussia to a half-crippled state, provided that there are no mistakes in the army of Paris, why is King Wilhelm willing to sit down and negotiate peace? It was because he knew that the cost of capturing France was too great and it was not worth it. And if the other side really wants to annex nearly half of France, it is time for the British to stand up and call for an anti-Prussian coalition. ”

"The next negotiator will be Bismarck, and he is the one who really represents the interests of the whole country. And Bismarck's purpose was to take revenge on France. ”

Speaking of this, Napoleon subconsciously glanced at Empress Eugenie and said, "The next content should not be attended by an outsider. ”

Louis knew what Napoleon meant, and he nodded and motioned for his wife to leave. It wasn't until Empress Eugenie walked out of the room that he began to speak.

"France must be prepared for this war, even if France is destroyed, it will not end well to Prussia. Now that Germany has just completed reunification, Bismarck naturally cannot fight with us desperately. That's the first point. ”

The next thing at the negotiating table is nothing more than the attitude of the other side is tough enough, even if Napoleon attaches great importance to this peace negotiation, he must show that he does not care.

"The next step was to tie the interests of the European powers to us, which was the second key point of the negotiations, and the British wanted to see a territorial 'historical legacy' between France and Germany, so that he could intervene as a mediator in the affairs of Europe and achieve its national policy of offshore equilibrium. The Russians, for their part, wanted to gain control of the Black Sea and abandon Western European support for Ottoman Turkey. As for Austria, the dim-witted King Franz Joseph simply wanted to negotiate the situation to return Austria to the German Confederation, and I guess their ambition was to establish a dual empire with Prussia. But neither King Wilhelm nor Bismarck could accede to this unreasonable demand, lest they would push Count Andráci over our side, so that the position of the three mediators would be on the side of France, unless Bismarck thought that he could put aside the rules of the game and insist on sending France into the abyss. ”

"But Bismarck didn't have the guts, and he wasn't so stupid."

Louis Bonaparte fell silent after listening to his uncle's analysis.

Although he sacrificed part of France's interests, Bismarck had to give up all the cards in his hand, and his desire for revenge on France was completely frustrated.

Napoleon took a deep breath, and as long as he was alive, the revival of the German nation would always be just a dream.

"My uncle, what do you want to do?"

"Which step?"

Faced with Louis's nephew's question, Napoleon said word for word, "I just want to make it impossible for Germany to win against France!" Whether it is political or military, Bismarck must be trampled under his feet in the future, and he must not turn over! ”

Louie's heart was shattered, and his last shred of hope was shattered. The person in front of him is much better than himself, and his little trick is not an opponent at all.

"My last question, will you be the emperor of France?"

When Napoleon heard his nephew's pedantic thoughts, he sneered and turned back and said, "Could it be that you, who have been exposed to it in the palace since childhood, have finally engraved in your heart the dogma of becoming an emperor?" ”

Louis was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to reply to the person in front of him. But the answer he got was even more shocking than he expected.

"What is the emperor. My nephew, have you forgotten one thing? ”

"I am the destroyer of European monarchs."

Bismarck sneezed and rubbed his nose. This was somewhat disrespectful in front of distinguished guests, especially the Austrian Counsellor in Paris, the special envoy of Jelinek.

"Count Andrách, who is now at a party at the Tuileries, is unable to take the time to come, and apologizes to Chancellor Bismarck for that."

In the face of King Wilhelm and Chancellor Bismarck, the Jelinek envoy behaved very restrained and calm, two years ago Prussia kicked them out of the North German Confederation, but I did not expect that two years later, Prussia would turn around and beg Austria to pull them for the sake of the German nation.

"I will make a long story short, Count Andráchy conveyed to Chancellor Bismarck through me the will of King Joseph that Prussia would promise Austria to return to the German Confederation and establish a dual state. We will be on the side of Prussia in the peace talks, and for the interests of two billion francs and Alsace. ”

Bismarck frowned, he had also heard the recent rumors between Austria and Hungary that after losing the War of Unification, Vienna had been unwilling to regain the glory of the Holy Roman Empire. Even on the condition of establishing a dual empire, it continued to expand and annex territory.

King Wilhelm glanced at Bismarck, who took a deep breath and politely declined the request of the Austrian envoy.

"Sorry, we would be happy if Austria was willing to fight for Germany's interests. But we cannot accede to your requests. ”

Jelinek paused for a moment, then asked, "We can still discuss this issue." ”

"It's a matter of principle, Germany must have only one royal heir, and that is the Ludwig family. If King Franz wanted to join, he would have to relinquish leadership. ”

A Franco-Prussian peace talks are like making Prussia give up its fundamental interests, King Joseph's mind in dealing with diplomacy is indeed not very bright, and the so-called dual empire will sooner or later play itself into it. The unflattering mistakes of the two sides in the Crimean War led to a bad impression of King Joseph among European monarchs.

"You're going to regret making hasty decisions."

King Wilhelm did not speak the whole time, in fact what Bismarck said already represented what was in his heart.

"Do you remember what Tsar I of Russia said before he committed suicide?" I am the greatest fool in the world, and I should expect others to repay me', Prussia was willing to give everything for its allies, but for the despicable villain, there was only one answer. ”

"Fuck off!"
