Rumors of a French savior had been heard a little, and at first Russell thought it was just a story made up by bored French people in search of spiritual comfort. Later, the Were-Defense, somewhere to find a man of Napoleon's height, tried to establish a spiritual pillar among the people of Paris.

Russell's view on this matter was, "If people who have been dead for decades can come back from the dead, Marx will not write the dialectic of materialism." ”

He saw no practical significance in resisting the invasion of the Prussian army, and that even if Napoleon was reborn, it would not be possible to find a way to reverse the crisis of the great army.

In the face of absolute military superiority, any strategy and tactics are just a futile struggle.

The Prussian army was so strong that even the British were dumbfounded by the outcome of the battle, at first they thought that Napoleon III was expelled from the borders of the German Confederation by Prussia, but they did not expect that in just one month, they mobilized nearly 900,000 troops and directly stepped into France to implement a blockade.

War Minister Cardwell is said to have submitted a reform proposal to the Chancellor after seeing the mobilization of German forces. The Crimean War exposed the incompetence of the British Army, and when the British Army saw the performance of the Prussian army in the war, it strengthened Cardwell's determination to reform.

Although Britain gave the title of royal to the navy, your army must not behave so unsightly.

In the Crimean War, Britain and France carried guns together, but the Gladstone cabinet declared a policy of neutrality from the beginning, so it did not say anything about the Prussian invasion of 10 Downing Street.

The continent wanted the arrogant French to be beaten hard, and even Queen Victoria, after learning of the fall of Napoleon III, said with great relief, "Europe has finally been saved from Louis's fanning of the flames." ”

However, the Victorian royal family had a special affection for the Napoleonic family, for example, Queen Victoria admired Eugènie's only son, Eugène Bonaparte, the future Napoleon IV, and even wanted to marry her youngest daughter, Princess Atrice, to him. So for the defense government, the British royal family is also in mixed feelings.

When Napoleon walked in the door, Russell, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw that face.

Although he believed in science that it was impossible for people to come back from the dead, the people in front of him really shook his cognition.

Height, looks, and even the color of the pupils are the same.

It's exactly like the legendary Emperor.

If he hadn't been mentally prepared in advance, he really thought that it was the emperor of the First Empire standing in front of him, the giant who once made the legs of European monarchs weak.

"It's not true, it's not true."

Russell touched his chest and silently recited it several times.

Napoleon walked up to Ambassador Russell, smiled and said, "Hello, Your Excellency. I am a diplomatic envoy of the Provisional Government, and to introduce myself, my name is Napoleon Bonaparte. ”

Russell was a little speechless, so he had to smile stupidly, and then replied, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Bonaparte, if you are planning to get Britain to intervene in the Franco-Prussian War today, I'm afraid you have made a trip in vain." The British Government had declared the absolute neutrality of our Government at the beginning of the war. We will not interfere in your wars. ”

Napoleon shook his head, and he pulled back the chair in front of him and sat down.

"Don't get me wrong, Your Excellency Russell, I am not here today to plead with the British government to intervene in mediation, but to congratulate His Excellency Russell and the British Empire."

Russell couldn't understand the other party's routine, and asked rhetorically with a frown, "Congratulations to us?" What is there to congratulate? ”

Napoleon spread his hands and said with a relaxed expression, "Of course, it is to celebrate the fall of France and the rise of Prussia." Because France is no longer your continental competitor. ”

Of course, the other party would not believe Napoleon's nonsense, and said with a sneer, "France will fall?" Would I believe that Prussia could eat all of France? ”

Napoleon curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Prussia does not need to eat all of France at all." ”

Ambassador Russell did not realize that Napoleon was slowly taking over the conversation between the two of them.

"France did not have the same strategic depth as the Russian Empire, and with the powerful army of Prussia, the conquest of the country was only a matter of time. France was determined to fight to the end, and even if we lost at a huge cost, it would not surrender to Bismarck. By the time France was weakened and Prussia received war reparations, the balance of the European continent had been broken. ”

"Therefore, after Germany won the war, the first thing to do was to expand its own strength and complete industrialization."

Russell made a pause gesture, "Wait, why do you think that Prussia will start to rise after winning the Franco-Prussian War?" ”

"Because the continent no longer has anyone who can stop them."

Napoleon replied lightly, "Vienna lost to Prussia, France lost to Prussia, and their position was established after the victory over the land power that was the largest in continental Europe." The Russian Empire was in a corner, and there was no chance of ambitious expansion. Now that Europe has been defeated, why don't they take the opportunity to become the hegemon of the European continent? ”

Russell kindly reminded them, "Don't forget that England and Germany are married......

"A strong combination?"

Napoleon sneered, "The rise and expansion of Germany will inevitably lead to colonial friction and conflict, don't forget which country is the largest and largest colony now?" The sun never sets on the empire. The rise of Germany and the maintenance of the colonial empire by the British Empire are irreconcilable contradictions, and the friction of interests between countries wants to be resolved by a royal marriage? You guys really are na?ve. ”

Russell was speechless when he was refuted, and these deep-seated relationships hidden under the excitement slowly surfaced under Napoleon's suggestion. Europe only pays attention to France's bad luck, but it doesn't think about what Germany will do next after France's bad luck.

Napoleon did not force Britain to do it.

"You can wait and see, or you can continue to watch the fire from the other side. If what I said comes true, then good luck and may God bless the Queen of England. ”

From the beginning to the end, Napoleon did not mention a single word of imploring Britain to intervene in mediation, but he heard Ambassador Russell's back soaked in cold sweat.

"Alright, I'm done. Please go back and tell Chancellor Gladstone that when Prussia attacked Austria, I did not speak, because I am not Austrian. When Prussia broke through France, I didn't speak, because I wasn't French. When Prussia turns the muzzle of the gun to you, there is no one to speak for you anymore. “

“……”

He stood up and shook Russell's hand goodbye, and Napoleon needed to visit not only him, but also the ambassadors of Austria-Hungary, the United States, and Italy.

Russell had changed his initial haughty attitude, he wanted to stop Napoleon behind his back, but he opened his mouth and finally did not speak.

Before leaving, Napoleon added casually, "By the way, perhaps the bad luck of France is the situation that Alexander II is most happy to see, because he can use this incident to blackmail Britain and France to lift the restrictions of the Treaty of Paris and form an alliance with Prussia, the European hegemon, and he can wake up with a smile in his dreams." ”

The pale Ambassador Russell watched Napoleon's back leave, and then returned to his place. The warnings that Napoleon had spoken kept coming back to his mind.

Even if Great Britain pursues a policy of isolation, it should understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth.

He had to tell the Foreign Secretary at once, and let him tell Prime Minister Gladstone.

At this time, the office secretary barged in, just in time to see the dejected ambassador sitting on the sofa. She asked cautiously, "Ambassador Russell, I have already sent the telegram you asked to send to London. Anything else? ”

"Wait, add another telegram."

Russell raised his head, looked at the puzzled secretary, and said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, "Wait a minute, I'll draft a report, and you send the telegram to London." And do as I say. ”

The secretary asked, "What title?" ”

Russell took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Let's just say that 'Napoleon' is really 'resurrected.'"

"And he gave the whole of Europe a nightmare."
