Chapter 385: You Britons Are So Good at Making! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

"Some country on the European continent?"

"Sir, ...... you mean"

The Emperor of Austria and Chancellor Metternich were knowingly asking, of course they knew that a certain country that the British were talking about was France!

Seeing the two Austrians pretending to be on the lake, Viscount Palmerston solemnly pointed out: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I think everyone knows that the European countries that are likely to launch a surprise attack on the British mainland when the main force of the British mainland fleet is on the expedition can only be France, which is only separated from the British mainland by a strait!" ”

"But Louis XVII's prestige was low, and neither the army nor the people of France were willing to fight for the Bourbons." The Austrian Emperor simply shook his head repeatedly, "so much so that he and the black-haired Louis had to rely on the Foreign Legion to suppress the Algerian revolt." ”

The war for the conquest of Algeria began in 1830 and was personally commanded by Louis, Duke of Marseille, Marshal of the French Admiralty, and the start was certainly smooth. As soon as the French army arrived, the local feudal lords of Algeria either fled or surrendered. It didn't take much effort for the Algerian coast to be occupied by the French.

But what happened next was, of course, the expected law and order war. The nomadic Berbers living in the interior of Algeria have always been good at warfare, and they even conquered Spain in the past! Although it is now in decline, it is not something that can be leveled by the weak French army of the Bourbon dynasty in three or two strokes.

And Louis XVII and the black-haired Louis were also shrewd, knowing that these old soldiers of their own country did not obey the Bourbon dynasty at all, and it was really too much to expect them to die hard.

So at the same time as they started the Algerian War, they began to form the Foreign Legion - recruiting soldiers from foreign criminals and exiles of all kinds in France, and then the French royalist officers trained them to the strictest degree. A total of more than 10,000 people were recruited, and a number of them were eliminated in the process of training, and finally 8,000 elite soldiers were trained.

The governor of Algeria, Louis the black hair, relied on these 8,000 elite soldiers and tens of thousands of listless French troops to exhaust himself on the soil of North Africa, suppressing Berber revolts everywhere.

Although the black-haired Louis is doing a good job in Algeria, it is really a dream to conquer Britain with this ability!

However, British Foreign Secretary Robert . Peel disagreed with the Austrian Emperor's judgment, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that the conquest of Algeria and the conquest of the British Isles can be equated?" The French were understandably reluctant to conquer barren North Africa on behalf of the Bourbons, what was there to conquer in North Africa? It is nothing more than to make the map of France look bigger. But if Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseille were to lead them to conquer England, the situation would be completely different! ”

Sir Hardy, First Sea Lord, chimed in: "Yes, as far as we know, the French hate us the British Empire the most!" If Louis XVII could lead the French army to accomplish what neither Louis XIV nor Emperor Napoleon could accomplish...... So who else in France will miss Napoleon? ”

That's right, if Louis XVII could conquer England, then Napoleon would naturally not be fragrant.

Moreover, the British have almost wiped out the French colonies in North America and India over the past hundred years! It has also ruined the good things of the French again and again on the European continent.

If it had not been for the British, the French would have been riding on the necks of the peoples of Europe, the Americas, Africa and India.

Such a big hatred, if the French knew that there was a chance to conquer England, then they couldn't rush to the barracks to sign up for the army with a roar?

Viscount Palmerston also said: "If Louis XVII takes advantage of the situation and conquers England, then he will be France, nay, then he will be the emperor of the Roman Empire!" Your Majesty the Emperor, this is the equivalent of giving you the opportunity to restore the Holy Roman Empire...... Would you let go of such an opportunity? ”

Franz I blurted out: "Of course I won't let it go!" ”

Prime Minister Metternich next to him had already realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly interjected: "Viscount, do you want to attack France to overthrow Louis XVII?" ”

Viscount Palmerston smiled: "There is no need for us to make a move, naturally someone will overthrow the feudal rule of Louis XVII!" ”

"Who?" Franz I asked.

Metternich on the side was terrified, "Napoleon! Napoleon! You are to ......."

Franz was also startled when he heard the name, "What? You guys, you want to ...... But Emperor Napoleon is dead! ”

"But his son is still there!" Viscount Palmerston said, "Napoleon II is still here!" As long as he returns to France...... With the funds we offer, he will be able to restore the Bonaparte dynasty! ”

Robert. Peel added: "Your Majesty, you should know that in today's France, apart from the noble royalists, there are really few people who support the Bourbons...... Although Louis XVII was generally a very wise monarch, he was restored under the bayonet protection of the Rakshasas, and relied on a group of insatiable royal aristocrats and capitalists. His rule did promote the industrialization of France, but the average Frenchman did not benefit from it at all, and a large number of yeoman farmers went bankrupt because of his rule and were reduced to dispossessed laborers! ”

France under the rule of Louis XVII was actually suffering from industrialization!

Today's France does not have large colonies like Britain, nor does it have very rich resources and vast land like the Ming Dynasty and the United States itself, and France itself still has land concentration, aristocracy, royal family too wasteful and Napoleonic wars Defeat caused by all kinds of difficulties.

Under such circumstances, how can it be possible to engage in industrialization without enduring hardship?

The common people have endured hardships, of course, they will be dissatisfied, and they will miss the glory and line of the Napoleonic era - Napoleon's development route depends on European zero-dollar purchases, although it takes a lot of blood, but how can the hard-working industry be faster than the zero-yuan purchase?

So the lower classes of France are now nostalgic for Napoleon, and if there is no old Napoleon, it is okay to give them a small one.

As for the middle and upper classes in France...... It's hard to say anything else, but nine out of ten officers in the army are Bonapartist or spiritual Bonapartians can't be wrong.

This is also a matter of course, in the Napoleonic era, there was a thing that "a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier", under the Bourbon dynasty, if you want to be a general, you have to be reincarnated! And those who will be reincarnated...... Don't dare to grab military power with the old Bonapartians! Those forty or fifty-year-old old Bonapartians followed His Majesty the Emperor to fight the ruthless people all over Europe, all of them with murderous aura, and the little white-faced nobles under Louis XVII were scared to death when they saw them!

So although France under Louis XVII developed well, it ...... The foundation of his rule remains weak.

If Napoleon II, with the support of England, returned to Paris with a large sum of pounds, he would surely immediately be put on the throne by the Bonapartists who were looking forward to his return!

"But who can guarantee that Napoleon II will follow the British Empire against the Ming Dynasty after the restoration?" Prime Minister Metternich frowned and asked, "What if he defects to the Ming Dynasty, then what will we do?" ”

Viscount Palmerston smiled: "Why did he take refuge in Daming? Louis XVII was the adopted son of Zhuge for a long time, and the Duke of Marseille was the illegitimate son of Zhuge for a long time...... And the Bourbon dynasty has had a close relationship with the Zhuge family since Louis XIV, and Napoleon II snatched the throne of Louis XVII and still wanted to join the Ming Dynasty? And...... Napoleon II could not marry King Daminglu! Even if he marries a Ming princess, it can't be compared with the Queen of England marrying herself! If Napoleon II betrays us, then we will compromise with the Ming Dynasty under the pretext of opposing the restoration of Napoleon's empire, and then pull the Rakshasa Kingdom together to form an anti-French alliance! By the way, Louis XVII's daughter, Princess Louise, is still the future Queen of Rakshasas, and Nicholas I must be willing to help his in-laws restore again. Therefore, once Napoleon II became the emperor of France, he could only lead France to fight against the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the Western world. ”

Even Metternich didn't know what to say now...... These Britons are so good at-stirring!
