Chapter 266: Taking Sides? We might as well lie behind the British Empire! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

When Prince Metternich returned to his official residence in Vienna, Louis the Black-haired, Prince of Marseille, and Talleyrand, Foreign Secretary, had been waiting there for a long time.

These two had already come to Austria, but instead of Napoleon II, they went to Prince Metternich.

Before today, it was impossible for Prince Metternich to agree to let Napoleon II become the king of Rome...... The only reason why he was not killed was because Metternich felt that it was not necessary for the time being, and if this kid really posed a threat to the stability of the Austrian Empire, then he would die soon.

In the original history, after the revolutionary storm of 1830 blew, Napoleon II received a tuberculosis of his own, and then hung up after a year or two at the age of 21!

However, the British tried to use Napoleon II as a-stirring stick to stir up the good-tasting bucket of in front of Tsar Nicholas I, but Metternich felt that Napoleon II was a danger, and the confrontation between Britain and Rakshasa could get out of control, and she was also a danger. And once the in this big dung pit of the whole of Europe is stirred up by the British, then the Austrian Empire and the Habsburg dynasty will die.

As a true patriot, Metternich would not allow his decaying, backward, and dying Austrian motherland to be drowned by the stirred up by the Britishβ€”a true patriot would not run away to the fraternal country next door because his country was rotten and had no future.

And the Bourbons, as decaying, stiff, and dying as the Austrian Empire, were undoubtedly his staunchest allies at this time,

Equivalent to France and Austria, which had already opened the door to the second industrial revolution, the Bourbons and Habsburgs were definitely "regressive forces", even worse than the Romanov dynasty of Rakshasa . The Romanov dynasty could still abolish serfdom and glue together the vast and backward rakshasas.

And the Bourbons and Habsburgs...... They just want to lie still.

Because they can only live longer if they lie flat.

And letting Europe lie flat is actually one of the goals of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhuge family - if the Europeans themselves bite people, it is of course the most ideal. If it doesn't work, lie down, and don't follow the British Empire to the battlefield to confront the Ming Dynasty is also a second priority.

Talleyrand and Metternich had a good personal relationship, and when he saw him snorting and walked in, he asked with concern: "Prince, your complexion is not very good today, are you too tired to work for the country?" You should take a break! ”

The black-haired Louis also smiled and asked, "Prince, have you met the British Foreign Secretary and the Admiralty?" This time, what are those British islanders going to toss us Europeans? ”

"They wanted to use Napoleon II to force Nicholas I to withdraw his troops from Moldavia, Wallachia and Rumillia!" "Moreover, they also want the Rakshasa to change its pro-Ming policy...... At least remain neutral. ”

Prince Metternich glanced at the black-haired Louis again, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid our two countries will also have to stand in line between Ming and Ying!"

Before the big war, gather allies...... The British first reformed India, and then pulled the United States together, and signed the North Atlantic-Indian Ocean Convention together. It also made the Rakshasa suffer a big loss when fighting the Turks, so that our countries are no longer afraid of the Rakshasa and dare not rely on the Rakshasas. And then immediately Napoleon II was introduced, and the Rakshasa was forced to back down and remain neutral, and at the same time to force our two countries and Prussia to join the North Atlantic-Indian Ocean Pact.

And we, the European powers, have a strong influence on those people in South America, and if we are on the side of the British Empire, then they will not at least be on the side of the Ming Dynasty. The British Empire and the Rakshasa Empire together can affect the Jin Kingdom...... In this way, the British Empire will be able to gather a large number of great powers, including India, the United States, France, Austria, Prussia, Turkey, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. It also allows Rakshasas, Daikin, and South American countries to remain neutral.

On the Ming side, there are at most the Arab Empire, the Sultanate of Oman, the Japanese State, and the Mexican Empire. And the Arab empire in it is still in a rather disadvantageous position...... It looks like the British Empire is leading for the time being! ”

The black-haired Louis smiled: "Prince, who said that we are on the side of the British Empire?" ”

"Duke, what do you mean......" Metternich looked at the black-haired Louie, a little puzzled.

The black-haired Louie laughed: "We are allies lying behind the British Empire!" We simply can't stand up, and we don't intend to stand! ”

"Lying behind the British Empire......" the Duke of Metternich laughed, "Yes, we are lying behind the British Empire, but it's still good for the British Empire, isn't it?" Even if we don't actually send troops, the British can make our industry work for them. ”

The black-haired Louis nodded and said, "That's not bad, let the British, Americans, and Indians fight desperately, and we will earn their real money, while the Rakshasa people are watching from the sidelines with bad intentions, ready to gamble at any time!" ”

Metternich snorted, "Not bad...... It's nice to have the British spend the last rupee! But what about after that? ”

After that? After that, will the British Empire bring Napoleon II out again?

The black-haired Louis looked back at the lame and numb Bonapartian Talleyrand, the French foreign minister was holding a cup of coffee and tasting it, and when he saw Louis's gaze, he just smiled and said: "Why don't you let Napoleon II marry Princess Louise of France, and then go to Rome to be a Roman king...... It's good for all of us. ”

Napoleon II's marriage to a Bourbon princess showed that the general leader of the Bonapartists had compromised with the Bourbons! This would greatly ease the French Army's hostility towards the Bourbons. At the same time, allowing Napoleon II to rule the Pope's domain would plunge the Bonapartists into a feud with the Catholic Church and Italian nationalists, including the Charcoal Burners and the House of Savoy.

This would favor Austria's control of northern Italy, as well as the influence of the French Bourbons over the Savoys and the Bourbons of the Two Sicilies, and could also slow down the process of Italian unification...... A unified Italian nation-state was, of course, something neither France nor Austria wanted.

Metternich thought for a while, but nodded, "If you think it's appropriate, then we Austrians have no reason to object, let the King of Rome rule Rome!" ”

The black-haired Louis breathed a sigh of relief, Napoleon II stayed in Austria and was still remembered by the British Empire, which was too bad for the Bourbons...... It's a bomb that's ready to explode!

And even if Napoleon II is physically eliminated, the Bonapartes will introduce a new Napoleon, and the relations between the Bonapartists and the Bourbons will not ease. Without the support of the Bonapartists, the French conquest of Algeria would not have been able to overturn!

Talleyrand on the side smiled: "Since we have reached an agreement, it is time to discuss these matters with the Foreign Secretary and the Admiral Secretary of the British Empire." As long as the British Empire could agree, then a rapprochement between the Bourbons and the Bonapartes was entirely possible. ”

Metternich said, "I think Robert. Peel and Viscount Palmerston will agree, but I will have to talk to Grand Duke Mihayel of Rakshasa before the arrangements are made public. If the Tsar did not want to see Napoleon's empire reappear, he had better reach a compromise with the British, at least ceding the Ottoman province of Rumelia and the Duchy of Wallachia...... At most, it was possible to annex the principality of Moldavia and keep Crete. With these territories, Nicholas I also has an explanation for the Rakshasa country. ”
