"Isn't France afraid that the Austrian Empire will join the side of the Russian Empire?"

Annoyed and angry Richard. Metternich blurted out, and within a few seconds, Richard. Metternich regretted what he had just done, and he made a mistake that diplomats could not tolerate, and that was to apply his personal emotions to foreign policy.

His father, Prince Metternich, once told him that a man who was carried away by emotion would never become a true diplomat, because his unintentional words would most likely make a country pay for his mistakes.

A good diplomat needs to keep a cool head at all times. Metternich clearly does not possess this ability.

"Your Majesty, I ......" Richard. Metternich wanted to make up for the mistake he had just made, when his eyes were on Jérôme. Bonaparte's pupils at the time, from this pair of pupils Richard. Metternich saw the indifference piercing the marrow, as if he were looking at a pathetic ant.

This feeling makes Richard. Metternich had the illusion that the sight of Jérôme. Bonaparte was no longer a man, but a god, an existence that decided the lives of him and the more than 30 million people of the Austrian Empire behind him.

I...... I was so dazed that I could say that!

Richard. Metternich couldn't help but regret it, the saliva secreted by the nervousness filled his mouth, causing him to squirm in the back street to swallow the saliva, and his white fingers and cheeks were sweating from the excessive tension.

Time in Richard. Metternich's sensory organs began to slow down, and now Richard. Metternich sat in a chair, but he felt that he was not sitting in a chair, but an erupting volcano. Metternich is suffering every minute and every second!

It seems that N centuries have passed, sitting Richard. Opposite Metternich was the monarch Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke slowly: "Richard. Metternich! ”

"Your Majesty!" This time Richard. Metternich's tone was pleading and humble, and he was pleading with Jérôme in this way. Bonaparte was able not to pursue his faux pas.

"I have every reason to try to make the Austrian Empire's contempt for the French Empire, and thus declare war on you! Don't forget, there are still several blood feuds between the Napoleons and the Habsburgs! Do you think that your joining will really allow the Russian Empire to defeat us? "Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke calmly to Richard. Metternich spoke, as if he were stating an established fact.

Jérôme. When Bonaparte said "blood feud", he was referring to Louis. What the Napoleonic brothers did in the Italian region, and the "unexplained" death of the Roman king in Vienna.

Each of these passages gives him a reason to destroy the Habsburgs.

"I ...... Not ......" Richard. The teeth in Metternich's lips chattered slightly.

As Jérôme. As Bonaparte said, the Napoleonic family had a thousand reasons for war with the Austrian Empire.

The military strength of the Austrian Empire, which had experienced the Hungarian rebellion, was far inferior to that of France. Bonaparte feared nothing more than Radetzky, who lived in Italy.

This eighty-year-old man, who served as the chief of the general staff of the coalition forces, is like the Austrian Empire's Dinghai Divine Needle.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also did not have the confidence to defeat the old man completely, and besides, the Austrian Empire itself was also an important chess piece that he used to counterbalance the rising Kingdom of Prussia.

Just in Richard. Metternich waited anxiously for Jérôme. The time of Bonaparte's "judgment".

Jérôme. Bonaparte softened a little, and then said: "I understand that you don't want to break with the Russian Empire really quickly!" I can give you a certain amount of time on this issue.

Before the French army arrives in the Ottoman Empire, you have plenty of time to think!

Once the French army has fully established itself in the Ottoman Empire, I hope that the Austrian Empire will be able to share your thoughts with me.

War or peace will be your responsibility! However, I can tell you in charge. If you choose to be the enemy of France, France will definitely crush you without mercy!

I will unite with all the rebel forces in your empire, with the kingdoms of Prussia and Sardinia, and smash all the land, wealth, and everything you have!

At that time, the Austrian Empire will no longer exist in Central Europe! ”

Face Jérôme. Bonaparte's naked threat of war, by Richard. Metternich's face turned even paler.

From Jérôme. In Bonaparte's solemn eyes, Richard. Metternich can be sure of Jérôme. Bonaparte was right, the French Empire was really capable of completely destroying the Austrian Empire.

"I will certainly advise our Majesty to be better with the French Empire! In my lifetime, I will preserve the friendship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire! "At this moment Richard. Metternich became a full-fledged Francophile, and he spoke solemnly to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"I hope that the French and Austrian Empires will be able to forge ahead in the years to come! Besides, I myself do not want to see such a country as the Austrian Empire destroyed! "Jérôme. A kind smile appeared on Bonaparte's lips, and his words became more and more kind.

Tani / span "I believe it too!" "Richard. Metternich hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

Subsequently, Richard. Metternich and Jérôme. Bonaparte had another brief pleasantry.

In the escort of Mocal, Richard. Metternich left the Tuileries as if he had survived the catastrophe.

That night, Richard returned to the embassy. Metternich told Ambassador Rothschild about the situation.

Order Richard. Metternich went to the Tuileries Palace to inquire about the news, and Ambassador Rothschild also showed a surprised expression. Metternich gave a thumbs up, as if to praise Richard. Metternich's courage.

Richard. A bitter smile appeared on Metternich's lips, and he immediately asked Ambassador Rothschild if he should write to the Austrian Empire to tell them what was happening.

With the consent of Ambassador Rothschild, Richard . Metternich lit a kerosene lamp and wrote a letter to Vienna about what had happened in France, and at the end of the letter he blocked his views on diplomacy.

When Richard. When Metternich handed over the letter to Ambassador Rothschild for review, Ambassador Rothschild, with a lazy expression, read Richard. After Metternich's report, he once again praised him for having the air of a father.

It's just that Ambassador Rothschild's praise is now in the name of Richard. Metternich's ears were so piercing.

Subsequently, Rothschild helped Richard. Metternich sent the letter back to Vienna by mail.

In this era, although there was already the invention of the telegraph, but at this stage the telegraph was all in the hands of the government. Metternich could not guarantee that he would not be cut off.

He could only deliver the letters to Vienna by the most primitive mail.

There is a saying that the sky in August is like a child's face that changes when it says that it changes, just in Richard. In the middle of the night after Metternich finished writing his letter, a dark cloud hung over the whole of Paris.

After a while, the sound of lightning and thunder was heard in the clouds, as if there was a god named Zeus in the clouds, who was holding this artifact and throwing thunder at Paris, hoping to break the city's seven deadly sins with thunder.

After a while, the rain began to obey the influence of gravity, and with all their strength they broke away from the clouds and "crashed" into Paris below, as if they wanted to wash away the evil of the city with their bodies.

As time went on, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the pouring rain made a "popping" sound on the glass windows, and the cold raindrops fell onto the colder fences, splashing one after another, each of which became one with the environment after completing its mission.

After about two hours, the rain gradually became lighter, and the hazy raindrops were as soft as a spring breeze, and the window lattice also changed from the original rapid "tune" to a long one.

Two hours later, just as the sky dawned, the clouds and rain vanished, leaving only the low-lying concrete streets, and a damp smell of the air.

At 9 a.m., the previously quiet streets begin to come alive.

A newsboy in a shabby cap walked through the streets and alleys with all kinds of newspapers in his hand, shouting: "Sell newspapers!" Sell newspapers! Who will sell the newspaper! The new editions of Le Bonaparte, Le Observer, and Diplomat ......"

The gentlemen who came and went on the road stopped in their tracks amid the cries of the newsboys.

"Would you like to buy one?" The newsboy, who knew that he was in business, hurried to the gentleman, and while asking the gentleman, he handed the newspaper to the gentleman and said, "I have here the Bonaparte, the Observer, and the Gazette...... Which one do you want? ”

"Then let's just get a newspaper!" The gentleman looked at the disheveled newsboy in front of him, and his heart was moved with compassion, and he said casually.

"Okay! Mr! The newsboy hurriedly handed over a newspaper called the Diplomatic Daily to the gentleman.

"Huh? Why hasn't this newspaper seen before. Is it the latest publication? The gentleman asked, looking at him suspiciously.

"That's right, sir!" The newsboy nodded and responded to the gentleman, "Each serving only costs about 3 shengding!" ”

"3 Shengding? Cheap enough indeed! The gentleman sighed, and then turned to the newspaper to read the article.

The newsboy stood silently waiting for the gentleman to settle the bill.
