"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for being so bold in speaking out! By doing this to the United States of America, you are pushing an otherwise neutral country into the arms of the Russian Empire! ”

Ambassador Cauley's remarks provoked Jérôme. Bonaparte sneered, he understood that the reason why Ambassador Cauley had such a big reaction was nothing more than the fear that the Kingdom of Britain would be drawn into the war with the New World by the French Empire.

After all, no matter how much the French Empire is high, the United States of America will not cross the ocean to attack.

The French Empire had completely lost the benefits of the New World as early as the First Empire, and the Kingdom of Britain still had Canada (at this time it was still called the Province of Canada).

The original war between the United States and Britain was for the benefit of the province of Canada, and although the Kingdom of Britain defeated the United States of America with its strong national strength, the Kingdom of Britain itself was also uncomfortable.

That was why the Kingdom of Britain signed an armistice with the United States of America in 1815 and was forced to recognize the independence of the United States of America.

Nowadays Jerome. Bonaparte's arch of fire against the United States was clearly to roast Britain on a fire.

"Ambassador Cowley, Ambassador Mason is threatening me with joining the Russian Empire!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Ambassador Cauley, and then raised his head with the characteristic arrogance of the aristocracy and said: "It's just a bunch of nouveau riche who have come out of us, and they dare to threaten us with war." I am afraid that they have long forgotten that they were able to build their own country because they relied on our help! If it weren't for us ......"

Speaking of which, Jérôme. Bonaparte paused and glanced lightly at Ambassador Cowley.

At this time, Ambassador Cowley's face was slightly embarrassed, because the victims of the independence of the thirteen North American states were none other than the Kingdom of Britain.

I am afraid that Louis XVI could not have imagined that the United States Congress of America, which he sold his head to help, would smash the hegemony of Britain and the colonial empire of the French Republic more than 200 years later.

It can be said that the United States of America also indirectly avenged Louis XVI.

Since this history was not conducive to the "unity" of Britain and France, Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and abruptly stopped: "Forget it! These are all things about Chen sesame and rotten grain! I mean: if the United States of America can on the head of the French Empire, then where is the majesty of the French Empire!

Ambassador Cauley, I think you should understand what the French nation desires! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte asked himself: "It is dignity!" It is the most basic respect of a big country, so I have to fulfill their little wish! ”

"But! Your Majesty, you don't need to use such extreme methods either! "Ambassador Cowley understands Jérôme. Bonaparte, as the leader of a country that dared to send the king to the guillotine, had to create an image that would satisfy his subjects.

If it is not possible to create a character that satisfies the citizens of Paris, the citizens of Paris will not hesitate to overthrow it.

The original Louie. Philip created an image of being "close to the people", which allowed his kingdom to survive for eighteen years before it was overthrown.

"So what should I do? Promise the conditions of the United States of America! Put the ships of the United States of America over? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked himself: "I am afraid that if I have just agreed to Ambassador Mason's conditions on the front foot, the United States of America will have to put prohibited articles on the ship inch by inch." At that time, how should I explain it to the citizens of Paris and the soldiers on the front. ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, we only need to order the United States of America not to send weapons, and if it really doesn't work, we will use delaying tactics against the United States! You don't have to make the relationship so stiff! It's not good for all of us! Ambassador Cauley continued to persuade Jérôme to persuade him. Bonaparte said.

"I'm sorry! Now that things have developed like this, there is no way I can take it back! "Jérôme. Bonaparte would not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In any case, France's interests in the United States of America have gradually shifted to the country, and most of the companies remaining in the United States of America are shell companies, and even if they are confiscated by the United States, he will not feel distressed at all.

Moreover, the United States of America today is not yet the relatively centralized state of the future.

The system of the United States of America at this time was not so much a federal system as a slightly centralized confederation system.

Under the Constitution of the United States of America, every state has the right to withdraw from the United States.

It's just that it depends on Washington whether or not they will be beaten after withdrawing.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to speak with the Ambassador of the United States of America again! Don't let this little thing lead to two countries fighting each other! Ambassador Caughley continued to persuade Jérôme to persuade him. Bonaparte.

"So Britain is not ready to stand with us on this issue?" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Ambassador Cowley with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to stand with you!" Ambassador Cowley hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied that he did not want to lose the French Empire at this time.

The French Empire demonstrated its strength at the Battle of Sevastopol enough for the Kingdom of Britain to do its best to win over.

As for saying that France's display of military power may threaten Britain, this can only exist in the future.

Moreover, it was impossible for the French Empire to cross the Strait of La Manche.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Britain was not at all concerned about the current threat of the French Empire.

Only by winning the present Crimean War will the Kingdom of Britain be able to talk about the future.

"So what do you want to do? Support the demands of the United States of America, or support our actions against the United States of America! "Jérôme. Bonaparte was determined to push Ambassador Cowley into a corner.

He didn't care whether the United States of America would join the Crimean War or not, as long as it could provoke contradictions between Britain and the United States and remind the Kingdom of Britain of its original hatred.

After all, the United States of America has a "catastrophe" ahead of it.

This time, Jérôme. Bonaparte said that nothing would allow the United States of America to survive in peace.

"Of course we've got your back!" At present, the United Front value of the French Empire is significantly higher than that of the United States of America, and Ambassador Cowley can only choose to support the French Empire: "Still, we hope for ......"

"That's good!" Before Ambassador Cowley could finish his words, Jérôme . Bonaparte directly interrupted: "Ambassador Cowley, my business is over, let's go back to the hall together!" ”

Looking at the wayward monarch in front of him, Ambassador Cowley smiled helplessly, and he decided to spread the news to London as soon as the ball was over.

(The telegraph line between the Kingdom of Britain and the French Empire had now been constructed, and Ambassador Cowley no longer had to send a letter back to London.) ）

Jérôme. Shortly after the return of Bonaparte and Ambassador Cauley, the ball was dissolved, and envoys from various countries began to send their respects to Jérôme. Bonaparte said goodbye.

During the farewell of the envoys, Ambassador Cauley observed the ambassadors who had come to the Tuileries Palace and found that the American ambassador was not among them.

It was the turn of Ambassador Cowley and his dance partner to pay homage to Jérôme. When Bonaparte resigned, Jérôme. Bonaparte lowered his voice and said to Ambassador Cauley: "Mr. Ambassador, I will wait for your news here at the Tuileries Palace!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Ambassador Cauley replied reluctantly, and then left the Tuileries Palace with his dancing partner.

When all the guests were gone, Jérôme. Bonaparte called Mocal to him again and gave him an order: "You shall now at once send a telegram to our "old friends" in London and inform them that the British Cabinet is likely to compromise with the United States of America!" ”

Jérôme. The "old friends" in Bonaparte's mouth were nothing more than newspapers that dared to expose British politics and at the same time sold exceptionally well.

These influential newspapers could influence the course of British politics.

Jérôme. Bonaparte believed that the "wolf warriors" of the Kingdom of Britain would give him a big surprise!

Of course, this may not be a surprise for the Palmerston government, but a fright.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Mocal hurriedly responded.

On the other hand, Ambassador Cauley, who had returned to the British Embassy, went straight to the telegrapher's bedroom.

Having successfully knocked on the door of the telegrapher's bedroom, he gave the telegraph man an order: "You shall now send a telegram to London about the fact that the French Empire and the United States of America have not reached an agreement on the question of trade, and are even slowly coming to the brink of war. ”

"Yes! Ambassador! The telegraph operator hurriedly responded, then brought the kerosene lamp in the room to the door of the telegraph room, took out the key and opened the door of the telegraph room.

The sound of "tick-tock" sounded from the telegraph room, and after a while, the "tick-tock" sound stopped, and the telegraph operator came out of the room and replied to the ambassador: "Mr. Ambassador, I have sent what you said to Britain word for word!" ”

"Thank you!" Ambassador Cowley nodded, then patted the telegraph operator on the shoulder.

"Nothing! This is what I should do! The telegraph operator responded, "You should rest early, too!" ”

With that, the telegraph operator returned to his bedroom, and Cowley, who had watched the telegraph operator return to his bedroom, also returned to his room.

An hour later, the Telegraph Branch of the British Foreign Office.

The telegraph operator in charge of the night vigil sat in front of the telegraph with a yawn, and just as the telegraph operator was bored, the sound of "ticking and ticking" sounded.

The telegraph operator, who was about to fall asleep, immediately became energetic when he heard such a familiar voice, and he hurriedly picked up the telegraph in his hand and recorded all the sounds made by the telegraph.

When the telegraph stopped making noise, the telegraph operator translated everything he had recorded and translated it into the language of the telegraph.

After reading through it, I handed it over to my superiors.
