Chapter 302: The French Expeditionary Force
The British ambassador and the supreme consul of the French Republic reached a certain degree of consensus in the midst of laughter and laughter.
"Your Excellency, the coffee at the Tuileries Palace is really delicious!" Ambassador Cowley, who was in a good mood, picked up the coffee in his hand and savored it, with an inexplicable smile still on the corner of his mouth, as if this sentence meant something else.
"If you don't like it, you can visit the Tuileries Palace often!" Jérôme. Bonaparte responded to Ambassador Cauley.
"The next meeting place may be Brussels!" Ambassador Cowley replied seemingly nonchalantly.
Ambassador Cauley's response surprised Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression took on a subtle expression, and Ambassador Cauley clearly meant that France itself might be detrimental to Belgium's introduction.
The secession of the French-speaking part of southern Belgium was an eternal pain for the whole of France, which had the opportunity to reclaim these lands in 1830, but due to the cowardly diplomacy of the July Dynasty and the fear of revolution by the Great Powers, France completely lost this opportunity.
In Jérôme. After Bonaparte staged a coup d'état and assumed the supreme consul of France, voices related to Belgium and the 1815 treaty appeared in Paris.
Over time, this voice intensified, with radicals believing that France should reclaim its lands, conservatives believing that Belgium should follow France's orders, and many "visionaries" believing that Belgium should join the Franco-dominated Customs Union.
In short, whether it is conservatives or radicals, it is already Sima Zhao's heart to peep at Belgium.
Among them, there were the shadows of the Bonapartist faction, who were mainly ordered to advocate the Franco-Belgian Customs Union.
Jérôme. Bonaparte naturally understood the concerns of Ambassador Cauley and the Kingdom of Britain behind him about France's peeping into Belgium, and he hurriedly responded: "France intends to maintain the existing order in Western Europe, and we will not do anything related to hegemony!" ...... of harmony among all nations and countries"
Jérôme. Bonaparte also told Ambassador Cauley in a fluent diplomatic tone that France respects the existing sovereignty of Belgium and will never make a big news in the Belgian region.
"Tell Chancellor Palmerston that France respects all his efforts in 1831 to preserve peace in Europe! It turns out that Palmerston's efforts are indeed beneficial to peace in Western Europe! "Jérôme. Bonaparte then replied to Ambassador Cauley.
The so-called Treaty of 1831 refers to the treaty of permanent neutrality of Belgium signed by Britain, France, Russia and Austria after the independence of Belgium in 1831. Philip's second son became king of Belgium, which alienated France and Russia, thus isolating France and Russia, and then co-opting Austria and Prussia to make Russia and France have to obey Britain's actions in terms of numbers.
The "permanent neutrality" privilege of Belgium was determined on the basis of what the interests of all parties could tolerate.
Although the Kingdom of the Netherlands was reluctant to recognize Belgium's independence, the Netherlands was no match for Belgium without the help of the Great Powers.
Finally, nine years later, in 1839, the Netherlands pinched its nose and recognized the Kingdom of Belgium as a state.
"Oh! So, Your Excellency, you agree with Chancellor Palmerston's original treaty! "Ambassador Cowley expressed his gratitude to Jérôme. Bonaparte's response was very interested!
"Of course, France resolutely defends the right of the Kingdom of Belgium to permanent neutrality! If any country dares to infringe on the sovereignty of Belgium, France will be the first to refuse! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied categorically to Ambassador Cauley.
"I think His Excellency Palmerston must be very pleased to hear this from His Excellency the Archon!" Once again, a smile appeared on Ambassador Cauley's face, and he said with a pun: "I hope that Your Excellency will go one step further for peace in France and in all of Europe!" ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte, of course, understood Ambassador Cauley's hint, and he responded with a pretended reserve: "It is up to the whole French people!" The 8 million French people have entrusted me with power, and I will not be able to live up to the expectations of the French people! ”
Ambassador Cowley and Jérôme. Bonaparte tacitly reached a consensus, and whether it was a situation deliberately led by Ambassador Cowley or whether Britain responded sincerely, can only wait until Jérôme. After Bonaparte was truly emperor, he was able to know it.
Cowley & Jérôme. Bonaparte again chatted for a long time on the question of Europe, until the setting sun crept into the study through the lattice, and Ambassador Cowley glanced subconsciously at the pendulum clock standing in the corner.
It was now about 4:30 p.m., and Ambassador Cauley hurried to Gérome. Bonaparte said goodbye, Jérôme. Bonaparte warmly invited Ambassador Cauley to stay for a dinner.
Ambassador Cowley did not reject Jérôme. Bonaparte invited him to Ambassador Cowley and Jérôme. After a simple light meal at the Tuileries Palace...... Bonaparte [although it is a light meal, there is a sturgeon caviar, snails and even a crispy steak on the outside and tender on the inside]
The drunken Ambassador Cowley left with a "thoughtful" exchange of views at the Valehus base, but on the way out, he was accidentally seen by a peeping Russian "guy".
The enthusiastic young man quickly and quietly left, unbeknownst to the Russian embassy when he secretly returned to the Russian embassy, and was also followed by a team of people who secretly followed him, who had been watching the Russian "young man" slip into the Russian embassy.
Subsequently, they informed the Director of National Intelligence of the news, Marcel. Yaruger, Marcel. Once again, Yaruger went to the Tuileries Palace to inform Jérôme of the situation. Bonaparte.
"Did your men see it with their own eyes?" Jérôme. Bonaparte confirmed Marcel again. Whether what Yaruger said is true.
"Valley/span" is indeed seen with your own eyes! "Marcel. Yaruger was firm in tone towards Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"I didn't expect that! Unexpected! After a purge of the past, there are still so many rats in the secret of Paris! "Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh.
Now it seems that European countries are paying as much attention to intelligence services as Jérôme. Bonaparte, except that they did not have Jérôme. Bonaparte had a vision that was more than 200 years ahead of its time.
In many countries, the intelligence departments have not been systematically trained, and the police and intelligence departments have not been able to form a professional team at all, and the police departments and intelligence departments have not been strictly divided, and most of the targets they recruit are temporary transfers, and the gap between them and the specialized teams is too great.
"Your Majesty, do you want me!" Marcel. Yaruger made a gesture of raising and dropping his hand.
After months of "fishing enforcement" Marcel. Yaruger had already figured out the tricks of those backward intelligence organizations, and it was impossible to wipe them out.
"No hurry! Play with them! "Jérôme. Bonaparte stopped Marcel. Yaruger's next move.
Rather than purge their existing intelligence networks, it is better to do something in their favor through them.
Spies and 500,000 are inevitable products in any era.
"I see! Just keep an eye on them! "Jérôme. Bonaparte vs Marcel. Yaruger gave the order.
"Yes!" Marcel. Yaruger nodded in understanding.
Wait until Marcel. When Yaruger was about to leave, Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly thought of something, and he hurriedly called Marcel. Yaruger asked, "That's right! As for the personnel who went to Qingguo, how are you prepared? ”
If there had been no change in the historical line of the East, the historical Hong Xiuquan had already succeeded in revolting last month, that is, on January 11.
Now this rebel army should be in the growth stage, and the ruler of Qingguo has no understanding of the uprising.
After all, the distance from Jintian to Beijing is too far, and local officials will inevitably hide their reports in order not to be held accountable, as they did in the Opium War, and try to eliminate them.
If you go by boat now, it will take about half a year to get there.
In addition, it will take more than a year to investigate and prepare for the local area.
By that time, the rebels had their capital, and France could seamlessly join them.
"It's ready!" Marcel. Yaruger vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"So be it! In two months' time, a fleet will depart from Calais and pass through the Far East! You send your men with the fleet! "Jérôme. Bonaparte vs Marcel. Yaruger responded.
And Jérôme. Bonaparte sent his fleet to the Far East for Hawaii, an island nation in the Pacific.
As we all know, France's pioneering footsteps in the Far East and the Pacific region have not stopped, especially in the 30s and 40s of the 19th century, when the Orleans Dynasty and the Kingdom of Britain competed in the Pacific region.
The fleet went to the Far East to punish the Kingdom of Hawaii, and just over a year earlier, in June 1849, Brigadier General of the Second French Republic, Louis Brown, had been killed. Morality. Towmeron did not reply to the Hawaiian Kingdom on the terms of the Hawaiian offer, and did not attack the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Although the fleet damaged the Hawaiian Kingdom's shore artillery and fortifications, the Marines were defeated by the Hawaiian Kingdom with a five-fold superiority in soldiers.
After the news reached France in November 1850, more than a year later, the Secretary of the Admiralty, Dieko, felt ashamed, and he asked Jérôme to write a letter to him. Bonaparte sent faster warships to teach the Hawaiian kingdom a lesson.
As Jérôme at that time. Bonaparte was preparing for a coup d'état, and the situation in the Kingdom of Hawaii could only be postponed.
Now the dust has settled, Jérôme. Bonaparte, of course, had to prepare to teach a lesson to the kingdom of Hawaii, which did not know the height of the sky.
