"Mr. Richard, please be seated!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

In Jérôme. At the invitation of Bonaparte, Richard. Metternich sat in Jérôme. On the opposite side of Bonaparte was a mahogany desk, filled with papers.

After a moment of silence for the two sitting in the chairs, Richard, who was a little wooden by nature. Metternich only began to send a letter to Jérôme. Bonaparte asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, I have heard that there will be a great operation in your country in the near future?" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte sat back on his folded legs, and his face showed a little surprise, "Who told you that?" ”

"Your Majesty, no one told me, everything is my own speculation!" Richard. Metternich "candidly" addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"You're right! The French Empire is indeed preparing for an operation! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to Richard. Metternich replied.

Subsequently, Richard. Metternich then asked Jérôme. It was convenient for Bonaparte to disclose the content of the operation.

Jérôme. Bonaparte told Richard. Metternich, the French Empire has demanded that the Russian Empire evacuate the Danube Principalities, and if the Russian Empire is unwilling to agree, then a war awaits the Russian Empire.

"Will the Kingdom of Britain join the Empire in this war?" Richard. Metternich once again to Jérôme. Bonaparte asked about the attitude of the Kingdom of Britain.

Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and told Richard in a helpless tone. Metternich and the Kingdom of Britain will join the war sooner or later, but not now.

Immediately, Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Richard. Metternich complained about the inefficient government organizations of the Kingdom of Britain, saying that it would take them three months to discuss something that would take three hours to complete.

In each of these three months, the British government faced different resistance, the first month was the deliberations in the Cabinet, which inevitably produced all kinds of opposition, and the party leaders had to give some of their posts to these people in order to balance the party, and at the same time in order to win over some non-party ministers, and after the Cabinet was formed, these people became the royal opposition, and the second month after the Cabinet meeting, when the reluctant Cabinet was unanimous and submitted the proposal to the House of Lords, He will also face opposition from some of the more sophisticated members of the House of Lords, which will once again slow down the process, and the third month will be the final agreement and implementation of the policy, in which he will have to obtain the consent of Queen Victoria and learn the fledgling civil service system of the family's Britain.

And the three-hour affair is often just that the prime minister wants to add a "cook" to his residence in Downing Street.

For Jérôme. Bonaparte's Spitting, Richard. Metternich only smiled slightly, and when he accompanied his father, Prince Metternich, to settle in Britain, he also felt the "flexible" nature of the British civil service.

In general, there was no Jerome . What Bonaparte said so badly.

Considering the centuries-old "love and hate" between Britain and France, Metternich was very interested in Jérôme. Bonaparte's mammary behavior shows understanding.

"Britain's system is different from ours in two countries, so we need to give them some time to react! As long as the political elite of the Kingdom of Britain had not been kissed hard in the brains of the gate, they would soon join us! Stand together against the atrocities of the Russian Empire in the Danube principalities! ”

Despite the fact that Jérôme. Bonaparte in Richard. Metternich was happy to talk in front of him, but he did not dare to underestimate the elite politicians of Britain in his heart.

Far from the center of power on the continent, Britain could not pursue continental hegemony as much as the French Empire, but it could devote all its energies to building a world navy.

Because of Britain's special geographical location, Britain's fault tolerance rate is far greater than that of any other country on the European continent. Until the Royal Navy was completely defeated, Britain had ample opportunity to try a detour that the continent did not dare to try.

If the Royal Navy could not effectively suppress the rising powers of Europe on that day, then it was the time when Britain was completely decayed, and this decay was not only the decay of national power, but also the decay of talents and politicians.

Jérôme in a past life. Bonaparte had seen many jokes made by the Kingdom of Britain.

The British politicians of the 21st century are far from their predecessors.

Britain is still at its peak, with both talent and politicians in the stage of positive feedback.

Even if the British government is less efficient than the autocratic government, it can always act before the situation is completely catastrophic.

Jérôme. Bonaparte believed that once Britain learned of the Ottoman Empire's declaration of war on the Russian Empire and the French invasion of Varna, it would abandon its hesitation and join the battle.

Weaken the interest of the Russian Empire to attach to the vast majority of the great powers of Europe.

And in the same Richard. In the midst of Metternich's conversation, Jérôme. Bonaparte's repeated use of the word "we" was also intended to draw the Austrian Empire into the war.

The secret of politics is to talk about how many friends do and how little opponents do, and how little they use the majority to isolate the minority.

Richard. Metternich heard Jérôme. After Bonaparte's "speech sickness", he hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte corrected: "Your Majesty, the Austrian Empire is not ready for war against the Russian Empire at the moment!" ”

"Huh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte's eyes were full of hostility, and his tone became more and more unpolite: "Could it be that the Austrian Empire has not yet died to the Russian Empire?" Or is it that you, the Austrian Empire, are willing to be surrounded by an entire Slavic nation! ”

In order to make Richard. The Austrian Empire, to which Metternich was a party, created a sense of urgency. Bonaparte also deliberately exaggerated the Slavic threat: "According to the information I have received, the Russian Imperial Army is preparing a large-scale Slavic uprising that has a high probability of destroying the fragile balance in the Near East and thus completing a chain reaction."

If Russia had bad intentions, would the Slavic peoples of the Austrian Empire also heed their call and began to act. At that time, the Austrian Empire, even if it wanted to oppose the Russian Empire, would not be able to do so! ”

"I'm sure Tsar Nicholas must have thought it carefully!" Richard. Metternich was a little less confident, and he could not guarantee that the Russian Empire would not take advantage of Jérôme. The method of action in the mouth of Bonaparte.

"It is undoubtedly the most ridiculous thing to expect that arrogant tsar to keep his senses!" Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but sneer: "Besides, can they really control the Slavic peoples who have fallen into fanaticism?" Think of that catastrophe a few years ago! ”

Jérôme. By "catastrophe," Bonaparte was referring to the European Revolution five years earlier.

The surging wave of nationalism almost overturned the dilapidated Habsburg ship, and displacement became the norm for the great aristocracy at that time.

No one wants to go back to that crazy time!

"I ...... We're not, it's just ...... "Richard. Metternich's face turned slightly pale, and after a long time, he replied hesitantly: "It's just that Your Majesty, your speed is really beyond our expectations!" ”

Since the Russian Empire marched into the Danube Valley, the Austrian Empire has always wanted to expel the Russian Empire, but their own lack of strength can only make them pin their hopes on France, and use the power of France to mediate with the Russian Empire to force the Russian Empire to withdraw from the Danube without blood.

When Prince Metternich knew about Jérôme. When Bonaparte was determined to crush the Russian Empire, he could only abandon his good offices and temporarily lean toward France.

It's just that Richard. What Metternich and Prince Metternich did not expect was that the French Empire would declare war on the Russian Empire when the Kingdom of Britain was not fully ready.

"Ready? What else do I need to prepare? While we are preparing, so is the Russian Empire! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said unceremoniously: "Do we have to wait until the soldiers of the Russian Empire, with the cooperation of the Slavs, break through the Ottoman lines, and wait until the soldiers of the Russian Empire march into Constantinople, and then we have to act?" I am afraid that by that time, the Austrian Empire had already become a puppet of the Russian Empire. ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte paused and glanced at Richard. Metternich took one look, and then said: "We cannot afford to leave the Russian Empire to chance, and if the Austrian Empire joins us in expressing its opposition to the occupation of the Danube by the Russian Empire, the Russian Empire will definitely retreat!" ”

"However, in this case, the Austrian Empire will immediately face the attack of the Russian Empire!" Richard. Metternich's face turned slightly pale, and his tone was slightly agitated to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"There is a reward for the effort! You can continue to be neutral, but I can assure you that you will not gain anything after this war! "Jérôme at this time. Bonaparte had changed his previous opening and began to threaten Richard directly. Metternich.

Richard. Metternich was furious, and if it were possible, he would be eager to take Jérôme now. Bonaparte to take it off.

"Isn't France afraid of Austria joining the Russian Empire?"
