The occupation of Sevastopol not only represented a phased victory of the French Empire in the Crimean War, but also a significant extension of the life span of the Empire's regime.

Favre in the audience understood that Jérôme. The empire created by Bonaparte may not be overthrown in a short time, and they will have to lie dormant for a long time until Jérôme. They could overthrow him only after Bonaparte had exhausted all the prestige he had accumulated in the Crimea.

However, Jérôme. Will Bonaparte do what they want?

After the unanimous vote of the bill was passed, Jérôme. Bonaparte thanked all the councillors present as usual, and then left the Palais Bourbon with the entourage in front of him.

In the evening, foreign envoys, generals, dignitaries, and bankers invited by the Tuileries Palace gathered at the Tuileries Palace to celebrate the victory of the French Empire at the fortress of Sevastopol.

Any foreign envoy who is willing to accept the invitation to come to the Tuileries Palace understands that Jérôme. The reason why Bonaparte invited them at this time was nothing more than to make a declaration to the countries behind them: although France has not made a move for a long time, it does not mean that France has gone into decline, and the power it has can still shake the diplomatic order of the entire European continent.

No matter how much they disliked the revolutionary and conservative regime, they could not ignore the power of the imperial regime.

The envoys who were willing to go to the Tuileries Palace were all there with the intention of making friends with France, and the regimes, which already had close ties with France, also wanted to further their relations.

The ball officially began at 7 p.m., wearing a Lev gown (exclusive skin belongs to Yes) Jérôme. When Bonaparte arrived at the ballroom of the Tuileries Palace with his dance partner, everyone was surprised to find that Gérôme was accompanied by him. Bonaparte's dance partner was not Empress Augusta, but Lady Eugenie, who wore a long sky-blue dress.

"Empress Augusta is pregnant and can't attend the ball!" Jérôme. Bonaparte explained to the guests.

The guests then remembered that Empress Augusta was now pregnant, and it was not surprising that the Emperor had brought the other ladies to the ball.

In Paris, a mistress is the best social calling card!

After a short vignette, elegant music resounded in the ball hall.

Jérôme. Bonaparte gently shook Eugenie's hand and began to dance to beautiful music, and after a song, the Swedish ambassador came to Jérôme. Bonaparte's face.

"Your Majesty, can I take your time for a moment! I'd like to talk to you! "The Swedish diplomatic ambassador respectfully addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Okay!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, then let go of Eugenie's hand and said apologetically, "I'm very sorry I can't dance the second song with you!" ”

"Nothing!" Eugenie shook his head and responded, "I'll be on my own!" Your Majesty, go ahead and get busy! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte hesitated for a moment, and finally pulled Eugenie with him.

"This ...... Your Majesty's affection for Madame Eugenie is really deep! The Swedish ambassador pointed to Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed.

"I cherish every lady who has accompanied me all the way!" Jérôme. Bonaparte answered the Swedish ambassador with sincerity.

Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte's reply, the Swedish ambassador was in awe.

"That's it! Mr. Ambassador, don't digress! "Jérôme. Bonaparte diverted the subject and asked, "Shall we find a quiet place to talk?" ”

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better!" The Swedish ambassador nodded.

So, Jérôme. Bonaparte and the Swedish ambassador quietly left the ball hall and found a secluded room to communicate.

"Mr. Ambassador, I wonder what you are looking for me?" Jerome who just sat down on the ass. Bonaparte asked the Swedish ambassador.

The Swedish took a meaningful look at Eugenie.

"Don't worry! Eugenie is not an outsider! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

Since Jérôme. Bonaparte said that Eugenie was not an outsider, so the Swedish ambassador simply assumed that Eugenie did not exist.

"Your Majesty, I think you should know what has happened in our kingdom recently!" The Swedish ambassador said in a cautious tone.

"Kingdom of Sweden? What happened? "Jérôme. Bonaparte pretended to be unaware and asked, "What has happened to the Kingdom of Sweden?" Could it be that the Russian Empire conducted a special military operation against you? ”

"What is a special military operation?" The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden asked suspiciously.

"It's another meaning of declaring war!" Jérôme. Bonaparte explained.

"Not really!" The ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden shook his head and replied, then added: "However, the troops of the Russian Empire have been moving frequently in the Finnish region in recent times!" ”

"Oh!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied briefly with an onomatopoeia.

Feel Jérôme. After Bonaparte showed little interest in what was happening in the Kingdom of Sweden, the Swedish ambassador said anxiously: "Your Majesty Bonaparte, just a while ago, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Great Britain, Palmerston, sent a mission to Sweden. ”

"Oh! Get to know a little bit! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to him as if he were not in the least interested in the affairs of the Kingdom of Sweden.

"Our King...... That is, the son of His Majesty John (Bernadotte), I hope to join you! "The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden expressed his gratitude to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Join us!" Jérôme. Bonaparte was stunned, and then asked the Swedish ambassador: "In what way does my Oscar brother want to join us and declare war directly on the Russian Empire?" Or do you want to learn about the Austrian Empire? ”

"It depends on the level of support you and Prime Minister Palmerston for our country!" The Swiss ambassador hinted reservedly.

Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately realized that his "brother" probably wanted to prostitute him and Palmerston for nothing.

The so-called "level of support" is nothing more than military support.

To put it mildly, the Kingdom of Sweden wanted to prostitute Britain and France, mainly the armies of the French Empire.

He used the forces of the French Empire to expel the Russian Empire from Finland, and then led his army to recover Finland and complete the unification of Scandinavia.

"You should talk to Britain about this!" Jérôme. Bonaparte was clearly not interested in taking a chestnut in the fire, let alone in the fire for the offspring of the "betrayer".

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, the Swedish ambassador hurriedly boasted: "Who in the whole of Europe does not know that the army units of the French Empire are the best in Europe." ”

"What does our army have to do with the Kingdom of Sweden, which is the best in Europe?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically, "Do you want France to help you conquer Finland?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't you want to defeat the Russian Empire?" The Ambassador of Sweden asked.

"Yes! But I don't want the soldiers of the French Empire to fight desperately for the territorial expansion of other countries! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to the Swedish ambassador in a sarcastic tone: "And the offspring of traitors!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's ridicule made the Swedish ambassador feel a sense of humiliation, and due to the influence of national strength and other factors, the Swedish ambassador could only suppress the humiliation in his heart. Bonaparte replied: "Then I will not bother you!" ”

"Lightweight! Mr. Ambassador! "Jérôme. Bonaparte held out his hand and made a "please leave" gesture to the Swedish ambassador.

The Swedish ambassador, who was extremely humiliated, left the room.

After a while, Eugeny asked suspiciously, "Aren't you at war with the Russian Empire?" It stands to reason that you should win them over! Why do you have to make evil against them? ”

"Because they're not worth my effort!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and said to Eugenie: "Their asking price is too high!" How can there be such a trade in the world? ”

"Buying and selling? Isn't this war? Eugenie asked curiously.

"Doing business is not much different from diplomacy! Both sides have a minimum price in mind, and then most of the prices quoted are the highest prices. If they meet customers who are willing to buy, they will also spend effort to communicate with each other for a while, creating an atmosphere of selling at a loss, so that buyers feel that they have made a lot of money! If you meet a customer who is unwilling to buy, even at a low price, it is a blind shout! "Jérôme. Bonaparte spread his hands and said in a flirtatious tone: "Very unfortunate! I'm the one who doesn't want to buy! The Swedish ambassador probably thought they had fetched a good price at Palmerston, and then asked to come to me and sell it again. Between the two of us, find a suitable buyer! ”

"Aren't you afraid that they will take refuge in England?" Eugenie asked suspiciously.

"Don't be afraid! Because Palmerston can't afford to give the price of the Kingdom of Sweden at all! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied confidently.

According to his link to the British army, if Britain wants to defeat the Russian army in Finland, it must at least invest about 70,000-90,000 troops, but the current British kingdom's native troops add up to less than 90,000.

Unless Palmerston was willing to force the recruitment of troops for the sake of the Swedish kingdom, it would not be possible to support Sweden.

Of course, if Palmerston was really willing to fight the Russian Empire for the Kingdom of Sweden, Jérôme. Bonaparte also raised his hands in welcome, and he even sent a fleet to escort Britain in the Baltic Sea.

Out of the fleet? OK!

Out of the ordinary? No!

Regardless of whether the British army defeated the Russian army, or the Russian army defeated the British army.

None of it hurt for the French Empire.

After all, the Russian Empire was the present enemy of the French Empire, and the Kingdom of Britain was the future enemy of the French Empire.
