Chapter 563: The Austrian Empire Surrenders
"We ......"
Richard. Metternich's confidence was a little inadequate, and after thinking again and again he whispered to Jérôme. Bonaparte pleaded: "Actually, my father and I also want to stand with the French Empire!" It's just that we need some time to convince the Austrian Empire to come to an agreement within itself! ”
In all fairness, these two years Jérôme. Bonaparte had a good excesses with the Austrian Empire.
Not only did he address the negative effects of the forcible occupation of the Danube Principalities for the Austrian Empire, but he also gave them plenty of time to prepare.
It can be said that it is the "regenerative parent" of the entire Austrian Empire. (Jérôme. Bonaparte thinks so)
Even Jérôme. Bonaparte treated his relations with the Austrian Empire with "sincerity", but in exchange for the lukewarm attitude of the Austrian Empire.
If it weren't for the Crimean War and Germany's internal balance, Jérôme. Bonaparte had long dealt a heavy blow to the Austrian Empire.
"I don't want to hear these non-nutritious words again!" Jérôme. Bonaparte took a tough attitude towards Richard. Metternich said: "If the Austrian Empire is really willing to stand with us, then I can guarantee you that you will get your rightful seat in the new international system!" If the Austrian Empire is unwilling......"
Jérôme. A sneer appeared at the corner of Bonaparte's mouth, "The Austrian Empire will have to consider the consequences!" I'm sure that's not what you want to see! ”
Face Jérôme. Bonaparte's threat, Richard's blood has not yet subsided. Metternich said impulsively again: "Your Majesty! Even if your empire defeats the Russian Empire, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want across Europe! Moreover, the Russian Empire lost only two battles! ”
"Yes! The Russian Empire was indeed huge! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in acknowledgment of Richard. Metternich's words, and then coldly responded to Richard. Metternich said: "But what does this have to do with the Austrian Empire! Could it be that the Austrian Empire wanted the Russian Empire to win this war? Or that you are still hoping that relations between the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire will return to the state they were before the war! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte's questioning, Jean Richard. Metternich's face became more and more ugly, and he understood that the war between the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire could never be restored. Finish.
Relations between the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire had broken down since the Austrian Empire threatened the Russian Empire with war to force it to withdraw from the Danube Principalities in order to protect the interests of the Danube Principalities.
Once the Russian Empire won the final victory, the first country to be liquidated was the Austrian Empire.
Richard. Metternich could not imagine what the Russian Empire would do to them after its victory, and the greedy character of the Russian Empire would probably make the Austrian Empire lose a layer of skin.
For Richard. Metternich was concerned, neither the Russian Empire nor the French Empire were suitable objects to rely on, but if he had to choose one of the two countries to rely on, he would rather choose the French Empire.
Compared with the Russian Empire, the French Empire, although vile, morally corrupt, and careless, was at least not as insatiable as the Russian Empire, and judging from the current situation, they held much more force than the Russian Empire.
A boss can be vile, morally corrupt, and go back on his word, but it can't do without force.
As long as you have strong force and are willing to stand up for your little brother, you are a good boss.
On the contrary, if you don't have enough force to rely on, and you still love to show off your military power all day long, then no matter which country you are, it will subconsciously stay away from you.
"We certainly don't want to see the Russian Empire win this war!" Richard. Metternich hastened to dissociate himself from the Russian Empire.
"So what would you like to see? The French Empire and the Russian Empire were both defeated in the Crimea? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically.
If that's the case, that's great. Richard. Metternich thought to himself.
"We sincerely hope that the French Empire will win this war!" Richard. Metternich spoke insincerely to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"Ambassador Richard, don't deceive me with such words!" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked impatient, and he shouted accusations: "I know you must be thinking in your heart: if the French Empire and the Russian Empire really lost in this war, it would be better!" I'm telling you, this idea of yours is impossible!
If the French Empire and the Russian Empire really lost both, then what do you use to resist going to the Kingdom of Prussia?
You don't really think that the Kingdom of Prussia will willingly stop within the German Confederation and act as a thug of the Austrian Empire! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, Jean Richard. Metternich realized that the diplomatic dilemma facing the Austrian Empire was indeed more serious than he had imagined.
The Kingdom of Prussia to the north was eyeing the Austrian Empire, and the Kingdom of Sardinia to the west was also ambitious about them!
If Russia and France lose both, who will suppress these two guys.
Could the Austrian Empire alone really be able to defeat them?
Thinking of this, Richard. Metternich felt an unprecedented pressure, and he retorted in a low voice: "The Kingdom of Britain will never allow the Kingdom of Prussia to upset the balance of the European continent!" ”
"The Kingdom of Britain?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Richard in front of him with a shocked expression. Ambassador Metternich now wondered if the ambassador in front of him had said this on purpose, or if his brain had burned out: "You are counting on a country with less than 100,000 troops (referring to the standing army of the Kingdom of Britain in Europe) to open your eyes for you!" I admit that their navy is indeed strong, but their land forces ...... Forget it, I'll show you something! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte opened a drawer and took out a document and handed it to Richard. Metternich: "See for yourself! ”
Richard. Metternich took the document and flipped through it with a blank face, and after a while, Richard . . . Metternich's expression was equally shocked, "This can't be!" ”
"This is the kingdom of Britain that you have in mind!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders, "If you still don't want to believe it, you can send a military observer to check it out." Or you can come with me! ”
"You...... You're going to Crimea! "Richard. Metternich was taken aback.
"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders at Richard. Metternich replied, "But this will be after the parade!" ”
"You still have a military parade?" Richard. Metternich asked again.
"We have achieved such an impressive result in Sevastopol, it is really a bit unreasonable not to celebrate!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Richard. Joseph replied and then asked Richard. Metternich, he (Jérôme. Bonaparte) brother Franz. Whether Joseph is willing to come to Paris for the military parade, "If my Franz brothers can come, it will certainly be able to raise the relationship between our two countries to a higher level." ”
After reading the black history of the British army on the battlefields of the Crimea, Richard. Metternich no longer looked forward to the Kingdom of Britain, after all, the combat effectiveness of an army determines the status of a country, and the army of the Kingdom of Britain was obviously not capable of giving the Austrian Empire the last protection.
"If the Austrian Empire is willing to be bound to France, will France really speak up for the Austrian Empire? Even if the Kingdom of Prussia fought against the Kingdom of Prussia together with the Russian Empire! "Richard. Metternich asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"Although I have said this to you I don't know how many times, I can assure you again that I am here today. As long as the French Empire still exists in this world, and as long as I remain the Emperor of the French Empire, then I will always stand firmly on the side of the Austrian Empire! "Jérôme. Bonaparte addressed Richard in a firm tone. Metternich said: "Moreover, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire, one is the defeated of the French Empire, and the other is the country that the French Empire is about to defeat. Will France still be afraid of them? ”
"I'm relieved to have your words!" Richard. Metternich settled down a little, and then turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured that their monarch Franz. Joseph will definitely attend Jérôme. Bonaparte's military parade.
"I'll personally go to the train station to meet him!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Richard. Metternich said.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I would like to ask, who else have you invited for this military parade?" Richard. Metternich vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.
"Queen Victoria, Victor. King Emmanuel, King Wilhelm I of Württemberg, King Ferdinand II (Kingdom of the Two Sicilies) ...... "Jérôme. Bonaparte listed the names of the invited kings one by one.
Of course, the vast majority of these kings had not yet agreed to Jérôme. Bonaparte, some of them haven't even told him yet?
However, Jérôme. Bonaparte had to blow out the hides, and he believed that those kings would never rebel against the French Empire.
Hear so much that the king promised Jérôme. After Bonaparte's invitation, Richard. Metternich let down his guard, he believed in Jérôme. Bonaparte would never have survived in the presence of many kings.
However, Richard. Where would Metternich think of Jérôme. Bonaparte's military parade was a large-scale arch fire ceremony, and his emperor would be the "most beautiful boy" in this arch fire ceremony.
