Chapter 399: Metternich Goes to Paris
"If that's the case, it couldn't be better!"
Augusta's answer made Jérôme. Bonaparte was beaming, and a rash merger was likely to cause a stress reaction on the Prussian side.
Augusta returned to Württemberg under the pretext of visiting his family, and then negotiated with his uncle and father-in-law about the transfer of the Royal Arsenal in Oberndorf, so that all the workers in the arsenal could be transferred to France without even realizing it.
Looking at Jerome with a snickering face. Bonaparte, Augusta glared at Jérôme fiercely. Bonaparte said angrily: "Did you have a premeditated plan?" ”
"Nope! No! Absolutely nothing! "Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately denied it: "This is your suggestion!" ”
"Oh? Are you sure? Augusta looked at Jérôme suspiciously. Bonaparte, she seemed to want to see some clues in him.
"Really!" Jérôme. Bonaparte swore to Augusta: "Actually, I don't want you to go to Württemberg, for you alone run a huge court. If you're gone, who will I rely on to manage the affairs of the Tuileries? ”
"You can find those two confidantes of yours!" Augusta looked around the room, and then spoke in a resentful tone to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "I believe they will be willing to be the mistress of the Tuileries Palace when I am gone!" ”
"How is that possible!" Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately made his position clear, and complimented Augusta: "Where are the two of them capable of managing the Tuileries Palace, the Tuileries Palace depends on you!" ”
"I hope you can do what you say!" Augusta was somewhat unconvinced of Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, she immediately shouted outside the door: "Vilnia! ”
Vilnia, who was eavesdropping at the door, trembled slightly when she heard the shouts in the room, she didn't want to get involved in the "war" between the emperor and the empress.
And in a way, Vilnia was also Empress Augusta's "little follower", and all her actions close to the emperor were officially approved by the empress.
"In!" Vilnia subconsciously replied at the other end of the door.
Immediately, she realized that she had made a mistake, and the queen inside the door should not know that she was outside the door, and her voice directly exposed herself.
"No more eavesdropping! Come on in! Empress Augusta's voice reached the door again, and Vilnia could only open the door and enter the room in a trembling manner.
Vilnia, who entered the room, straightened up in front of Empress Augusta and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you need me to do for you!" ”
"Vilnia, during my absence! The whole court will be handed over to you! Empress Augusta patted Vilnya on the shoulder and said in reassurance, and then deliberately emphasized: "You must not let Your Majesty bring some indiscriminate women!" ”
"But......" Vernia looked timidly at Jérôme. Bonaparte, she did not dare to meddle in the emperor's private life at will.
After all, Vernia was not the orthodox wife of the emperor either.
"Don't worry! With me behind you, he doesn't dare to do anything to you! Empress Augusta assured Vilnia.
Then, Augusta's gaze fell on Vilnia's pair of huge ** and said with a little jealousy: "Besides, he is not willing to do anything to you!" ”
Now Vilnia, who was next to her, also noticed Empress Augusta's gaze, and she subconsciously covered her chest with her hand.
"The affairs of the court will be handed over to you first! Remember, you can't let some people in! Empress Augusta emphasized.
"Rest assured, I will complete the mission!" Vilnia assured Empress Augusta.
For the next two days, Empress Augusta spent the next two days preparing what she needed to prepare for her first return to her parents' home.
Jérôme. Bonaparte also sent a note in advance to the news of the return of the Württemberg minister Augusta.
Hearing the news, the Württemberg consensus first showed a shocked expression, as if something terrible was about to happen, and then tactfully asked Jérôme. Bonaparte instilled the idea of "love and affection between husband and wife".
Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the Minister Württemberg with a bewildered expression, and after a long time, he understood what the Minister of Württemberg meant. Bonaparte meant that he also thought Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta separated because of the conflict between husband and wife.
Jérôme. Bonaparte hurriedly explained the reason to the Minister of Württemberg: the Empress missed her brothers and sisters in Württemberg too much. Bonaparte's consent returned to Württemberg.
After listening to Jérôme. The Minister of Württemberg, explained by Bonaparte, was immediately relieved, and then turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured the Kingdom of Württemberg that the Empress would be welcomed home.
On June 10, Augusta, the empress of the Second French Empire, traveled lightly and prepared to leave for home, and only some ministers knew that Augusta had returned to her mother's home.
On the evening of the 10th, Jérôme. Bonaparte dropped Empress Augusta to a makeshift train station outside Paris.
Empress Augusta will travel by train to Strasbourg and then cross Strasbourg to the German region.
When they arrived in Germany, the Württemberg royal cavalry would be there to meet them.
Jérôme. After Bonaparte and Augusta had a final kiss goodbye at the train station, Augusta got on the train and prepared to leave.
Just as the train was about to start, Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately seemed to remember something, and he suddenly shouted at Augusta in the carriage: "Remember, you must name the factory as William. Mauser & Paul. Mauser's people brought back, they are a pair of brothers! ”
As the sound faded, the train faded into the distance and disappeared into the night.
Jérôme. Bonaparte took advantage of the night to come to the Seine, and looked at the Seine River flowing in the moonlight, and the newly renovated site on the Seine, Jérôme. Bonaparte had a smile on his face, he had only lived for more than 30,000 days, and he wanted to leave his mark on this world.
On 11 June, a message from Vienna reached Paris via a telegram from the French embassy in Vienna.
The telegram stated: In view of the growing tensions in the Balkans, Austria decided to send a mission to France, the ostensible purpose of which was to mediate the contradictions between the Russian Empire and the French Empire.
And the member of the mission was the "little-known" Richard . Metternich.
According to the telegram, the mission would arrive in Paris on 18 June, and Paris was asked to be ready to respond.
Jérôme who received the telegram. Bonaparte once again called the Foreign Secretary. Ruiz.
"What exactly does the Austrian Empire want to do?" Jérôme. Bonaparte pretended to be annoyed and slapped the telegram on the table. "They are mobilizing again in the Danube Valley, and they are sending missions!" Do they really think that it is still the time of Metternich? ”
"Your Majesty, I think the Austrian mission arrived in Paris most likely to negotiate with France!" As a veteran pro-Austrian de . Ruiz vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte offered his opinion.
"What do they want to negotiate with France? Do you negotiate a step back? It's simply impossible! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a tough attitude: "You should understand that now France has begun to mobilize!" We will not be able to stop this war machine unless the Russian Empire falls in front of it! The French Empire was also able to reciprocate by devouring the Russian Empire's established share of the Ottomans, and by subsequently cooperating with the Russian Empire. ”
"Then you will have to meet with the envoys of the Austrian Empire with a strong attitude!" Morality. Ruiz, of course, understood the predicament facing the Empire right now, and it turned out to be a tight bowstring, stopping halfway through would only cause the bow to break.
"You mean, we persuaded the Austrian Empire to be on our side?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked de l'Hon. Lyce Road.
"Nope! Your Majesty, we just need to keep them neutral! "De. Ruiz vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "Austria's neutrality means betrayal of the Russian Empire!" ”
"Austria's neutrality means betrayal of Russia!" Just in Germany. Thousands of miles away in the Lombardy region, Luys said the same thing to the young man next to him in a speeding train, dressed in a fiery red clergyman's robe.
"Then father, are we going to help the Russian Empire in this war!" The young man looked at the old man beside him with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Nope! We want to prevent war as much as possible! The old man spoke to the young man beside him in an old, haggard voice, and then added, "Although our efforts to stop it may be in vain! ”
"If we can't stop the war, then which side should we be on?" The young man is once again my old man.
"We're going to be on the side of the winners!" The old man did not hesitate to respond to the young man.
"And who will be the winner?" The young man asked again.
"France has the largest army in Europe, and Britain has the largest navy in the world! If the two of them join forces, no country in this world can stop them! There was a sadness in the old man's eyes, and he was mourning the gradual decline of the empire to which he was loyal: "With the power of the Russian Empire is not their opponent at all!" ”
"Isn't this a betrayal of Russia? After the end of the war, the Russian Empire may ...... "young people mourn the fate of the post-war empire."
"Now the empire has reached the most critical time, and we cannot die with Russia! As for the future, that's for later! The old man sighed and said.
