Richard. Metternich swore that today would be the most desperate day since he assumed the post of Austrian secretary to France, especially when he saw Jérôme. After Bonaparte "inadvertently" revealed his "French War Plan against Austria", Richard . Metternich's original orderly mind was completely disrupted.

Richard. Metternich's brain was as if he had been hit hard by someone's fist, and his whole person was in a state of confusion, and his eyes were dull and motionless.

"Mr. Richard, Mr. Richard!"

Until Jérôme. After Bonaparte's voice reached his ears, Richard. Metternich came back to his senses and turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed again and apologized: "Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for my rude behavior!" ”

"Nothing!" Get to know Richard. Why Metternich was rude to Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and pretended not to care, saying, "Everyone gets distracted sometimes!" For me, I often miss the old days on various occasions, especially when I was in the Apennines......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte gushed to Richard. Metternich talks about his childhood in the Apennines, about the Republic of Genoa, about the monarchs of the peninsula, and even about the charcoal burning party.

Richard. Metternich's face in Jérôme. Bonaparte began to pale after talking about the situation in the Apennines, when Jérôme. When Bonaparte talked about the charcoal party and the Italian revolution, Richard, who had not yet developed a strong heart. Metternich nearly fell out of his chair.

Combined with Richard. Metternich inadvertently glimpsed the battle plan with the current remarks of Richard. Metternich has reason to suspect Jérôme. It is quite possible that Bonaparte had lost patience with Austrian procrastination and had already changed his attitude towards the Austrian Empire.

If that's the case, Jérôme. Bonaparte would have repeated what his uncle Napoleon had done to the Empire.

Next, Jérôme. Bonaparte's words confirmed Richard. Metternich's speculation.

"My late brother and my cousin were both members of the Charcoal Party, and although I did not join this party myself, I still had a good impression of this party under the influence of my late brother!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's words revealed nostalgia for the past, and then he shook his head and added: "But that is already in the past!" ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my offense! Because what I'm going to say next may refer to the late Prince Napoleon. "Richard. Metternich saluted first and then fought against Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Mr. Richard, we are friends! What can I say bluntly, I forgive you for your innocence! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied angrily.

"I privately thought that your favorability towards the Charcoal Burning Party was nothing more than a nostalgia for the past time, and thus developed a certain subjective favorability towards the Charcoal Burning Party. In fact, the Charcoal Burners themselves are not a good party, they are a group of dangerous people who are good at attracting good people to join them with a bright future, and engage in assassination and terror! "Richard. Metternich did everything in his power to discredit the charcoal-burning party, "I believe that the late Prince Napoleon must have been lured into joining them by their rhetoric." ”

For Richard. Metternich's statement, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not believe in his heart that although the charcoal burners did carry out some horrific terrorist attacks, the vast majority of their targets were the nobility of Italy, and their desire was also for the unification of Italy.

Fake terrorists are in the Apennine countryside, real terrorists are in the temples.

It can be said that the person/country that really created terror in the Apennine Peninsula was Richard. The Austrian Empire behind Metternich.

It was the Austrian Empire's control of Lombardy, Venice, and the small and medium-sized states close to the Habsburgs that led to the fragmentation of the Apennine Peninsula to this day.

However, these and Jérôme. What does Bonaparte have to do with the reason why he is willing to be interested in Richard. Metternich's reference to the Apennine Peninsula was simply to force the Austrian Empire to continue to invest more in Britain and France.

"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pondered for a moment, then turned to Richard. Metternich said: "Don't talk about that! Mr. Richard, is there something wrong with your sudden visit today! ”

"Your Majesty, I came here today to congratulate you on His Majesty's orders!" Richard. Metternich was sitting on the ground in Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "The French Empire is flourishing under your leadership, and the French army and the British coalition have the upper hand in the two battles with the Russian Empire, and I believe that it will not be long before the Russian Empire will completely withdraw from the Danube!" At that time, peace in Europe will come again! ”

For Richard. Metternich's Confession of Joseph. Franz ordered to come and congratulate Jérôme. Bonaparte was a hundred unwilling to believe.

After all, Franz, who was a conservative monarch. No matter how much Joseph opposed the Russian Empire, he would not have curried too much favor with him, the "revolutionary" monarch.

Richard. It is likely that Metternich just borrowed Joseph. Franz's name came to the Tuileries Palace to test his thoughts.

However, the Viennese court must have been aware of the retreat of the Russian Empire to the north bank of the Danube.

"Thank you very much to the Austrian Empire for the recognition of this great undertaking we are undertaking!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pretended to look at Richard with a look of interest. Metternich said perfunctorily: "We also hope that more and more countries will see clearly the greedy nature of the Russian Empire and join us in such a great cause!" (Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled meaningfully) The result of blindly riding on the wall will only lead to the destruction of the wall! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed out that Sang scolded the Austrian Empire for its double-sided betting practices, which made Richard. Metternich felt a pang of shame.

Oh, yes! The Austrian Empire has been arguing on this issue for too long, let alone Jérôme. Bonaparte could not stand this kind of vacillating diplomacy, and even Richard . Metternich himself could not afford to wait for the Viennese government to end the stumbling.

So Richard. Metternich would come to the Tuileries Palace without receiving the latest instructions from Vienna. Bonaparte congratulated.

As it turns out, Richard. Metternich was right, and it is likely that the French Empire could no longer stand the vacillating policy of the Austrian Empire and took action against the Austrian Empire.

Richard. Metternich suddenly remembered that Prince Metternich had written to him about a week earlier, in which Metternich had told Richard . Metternich himself participated in the Conference of the German Confederation in Frankfurt on the orders of the Emperor, hoping that the German Confederation would temporarily expand the Laws of War from the German regions (Austria, Bohemia) to the entire Reich.

However, Prince Metternich's efforts failed, and the South German Confederation, led by Bavaria, effectively united with Prussia in a rare effort against the Austrian Empire.

Prince Metternich's temporary addition to the scope of the laws of war was not adopted.

After that, Prince Metternich approached Bismarck, the new Prussian ambassador of the German Confederation, and asked him if the Kingdom of Prussia would be willing to deal with the Austrian Empire, but Bismarck rejected Prince Metternich on behalf of Prussia.

And the military, after going to Prussia, also did not receive a response from the Prussian conservatives.

There are all kinds of indications that what is happening in Germany is being controlled by a large invisible hand, and the owner of this hand is likely to ......

Thinking of this, Richard. Metternich subconsciously glanced at Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. Bonaparte still looked at Richard with a smile on his face. Metternich, however, Richard. Metternich's eyes made Jérôme. Bonaparte felt a little depressed, and he was not a man-eating tiger.

"We also hope to be able to do our part to provide some help to the symbols of opposition to Russia!" Richard. Metternich was only able to speak to Jérôme as much as he could. Bonaparte responded, and then to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured: "Don't worry! It won't be long before the empire joins the opposition to Russia! ”

"How long is it going to be?" Jérôme. Bonaparte took an aggressive stance and confronted Richard. Metternich said: "Is it necessary that the Austrian Empire will be willing to fight alongside us very soon before our army has completely defeated the Russian Empire?" In that case, I'd rather deal with the Austrian Empire as an enemy! At the very least, it can satisfy the aspirations of the people of the Apennine Peninsula for reunification and the Hungarian people for independence! It's just that by that time I don't know how much land the Austrian Empire will be able to keep! ”

Jérôme. The threat of war from Bonaparte restored the original complexion of Richard. Metternich, once again, pale.

"Rest assured! The empire will definitely make a decision as soon as possible! For my father's sake, please give the empire some more time! "Richard. Metternich vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte pleaded.

"I can give you time, but you have to make a choice as soon as possible!" Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his face to Richard. "And at the end of the month, the armies of the French Empire will have a military exchange with the armies of Sardinia to discuss the form of future warfare!" Metternich said. ”

Richard. Metternich understands that Jérôme. Bonaparte was hinting at him that he had left less than a month for the Austrian Empire.

The Austrian Empire had to make a choice within this month, otherwise there was a good chance that the French Empire would take military action against it.

"I will definitely report back to Vienna as soon as possible!" Richard. Metternich to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured.
