“…… At the invitation of Emperor Napoleon, the Emperor of Austria Franz. Joseph and his fiancée are about to arrive in Paris! ”

After Haussmann, the high-ranking official of the Seine, resounded with cheers in the square of the Paris City Hall, and the citizens of Paris in the Place de la Ville awaited the arrival of the foreign monarch.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the group of Parisians in front of him, Oss struck while the iron was hot and said to the Parisian citizens: "To prevent a stampede, and at the same time to maintain the stability of the square." Around 9:20 a.m., a squad of soldiers will appear near the Paris City Hall. I hope the citizens of Paris can understand! ”

Although the citizens of Paris do not subjectively dislike all violent mechanisms, the presence of the two monarchs in the town hall does have to be guarded, and it would be terrible if there was an assassin who did not want to die!

Therefore, the citizens of Paris did not oppose Haussmann's demands.

At about 9:18 a.m., a group of nearly 1,000 infantry troops appeared near the town hall, this group of infantry in two formations, scattered on the left and right sides of the town hall square on both sides, completely separating the citizens of Paris from the central square.

Some of the Parisians who were squeezed into the corner and could not see the square simply ran directly to the nearby building, knocked on the door of the room, and leaned on the balcony with the owner of the room to watch.

More Parisians decided to stand on tiptoe when the two emperors arrived, so that they could see the emperors in the square.

In this way, the citizens of Paris at the town hall began a boring wait.

On the other hand, Jérôme on horseback. Amid the attention and cheers of the citizens of Paris, Bonaparte stopped and stopped for nearly half an hour to arrive near the temporary military railway station in the suburbs of Paris.

At this time, the temporary military railway station had been blocked by French soldiers the night before, and no trains could stop at the station until the Austrian emperor arrived.

As for pedestrians, it's even more unlikely!

When Jérôme. As soon as Bonaparte arrived at the railway station, General Vaillants, commander of the Seine Provincial Military District, who was in charge of guarding the railway station, immediately walked to Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Jérôme. Salute Bonaparte!

"General Wayan, you've worked hard!" Jérôme. Bonaparte dismounted solemnly and returned the salute to Vaillan.

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do!" General Vayan spoke in a sonorous tone to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Vayan, Richard. Where is Metternich.

"Your Majesty! Richard. Ambassador Metternich is inside the train station! by Kuzan. Minister Montauban accompanied him and waited for the arrival of the Austrian Emperor! Marshal Vayan replied.

"That's good! Let's go! Come with me to the train station! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said a word to General Vayan.

"Yes!" Vajan hurriedly responded, and then followed in Jérôme. Behind Bonaparte was side by side with Niel.

Enter the Jérôme inside the platform of the train station. Bonaparte saw Richard in the middle of the platform at a glance. Metternich, Jérôme. Bonaparte hurriedly stepped forward to Richard. Metternich said, "Ambassador Richard, I've kept you waiting!" ”

"Your Majesty! I also just arrived! "Richard. Metternich hurriedly responded, but every now and then he glanced towards the end of the railway.

"Look no further! The train is about 20 minutes away! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a smile on his face.

Richard. Metternich's face was slightly embarrassed, and he lowered his head and did not look at the railroad again.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually solidifying, Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke again to Richard. Metternich said, "Ambassador Richard, while there is still some time, shall we talk about something?" ”

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Richard. Metternich hurriedly responded: "I must know everything!" ”

"What do you think about the railway?" Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed to the railroad in front of him to Richard. Metternich asked casually.

Richard. Metternich took one look at the railroad and then tentatively turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied: "Your Majesty, I think the railroad is changing the way we travel!" ”

"This can barely be counted as an aspect!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to Richard. Metternich replied: "The railway not only changed our travel, but more importantly it changed the mode of war!" ”

"The pattern of war?" Richard. Metternich looked puzzled.

"Do you know how we maintained supplies when we were in Crimea?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"By transport?" Richard. Metternich vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"The role of the transport ship is to disassemble the already assembled artillery and transport it over! As long as all the materials used in the weapons and rails are transported by rail, our railway network can transport the iron ore from the Lorraine region to Paris and Le Clézzo in the shortest possible time, where they are processed and dismantled, and then loaded again to Toulon! Arrive in Strasbourg again by boat from Toulon! The delay will not exceed 3 days! "Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Richard. "And our arsenal in Paris alone can produce an average of nearly 30,000 rounds of ammunition, more than 5,000 rifles, more than 300 artillery pieces, 2,000 shells, and more than 20 kilometers of railroad tracks and logs. ”

Richard. Metternich after listening to Jérôme. After Bonaparte's data, I couldn't help but feel an unprecedented chill in my heart.

Jérôme. What was Bonaparte's purpose in saying this? Is it simply to demonstrate to him?

"I'm not giving you this data to demonstrate!" Jérôme. Bonaparte seemed to see through Richard at a glance. Metternich's inner thoughts, he hurried to appease Richard. Metternich: "I just want you to understand that the role of the railroad in the military field, the logistical problems that plagued the Grand Legion in the past, are no longer a problem after the rise of the railroad. We were able to move people and supplies from one area to another in two weeks!

This is something that my uncle could never have imagined back then, and although there were steam engines in those days, they were far less powerful than they are now...... It has taken less than half a century for our world to change so much.

If the Austrian Empire still embraces the new era with the old ideas, then even with the help of France, Austria is destined to be ruthlessly eliminated!

The wheel of the times should never know that the country has a long history, and thus pity the country, and he will only mercilessly run over everything that stands in his way in front of him! ”

"Your Majesty, I'm just an ordinary diplomat! You should say these things to Your Majesty or the Prime Minister! "Manage Chad. Metternich inwardly identified with Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, but he still had to put himself in the right position against Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Am I not talking to a future Austrian Prime Minister?" Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a slightly flirtatious tone.

"Your Majesty, you're really joking!" Richard. Metternich smiled wryly and shook his head at Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"What? Don't have any confidence in your role as prime minister? Or do you want to live in the shadow of your father for the rest of your life! "Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Richard. Metternich asked.

A good father can often become a nightmare for his children, and people will always unconsciously compare the two with each other to conclude that the son is inferior to the father.

In fact, some children are not inferior to their fathers, but they do not have the same stage and opportunities as their fathers.

"Your Majesty......" Richard. Metternich couldn't help but want to be on Jérôme. Bonaparte said that he was not the material to be prime minister, but when it came to his lips, he could not say anything.

In fact, in Richard. Metternich still has a dream in his heart to be prime minister, and to surpass his father.

"What's wrong? Prime Minister Richard! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a playful tone to Richard. Metternich asked.

"Your Majesty, I'm just an ordinary diplomat!" Richard. Metternich re-emphasized, this time with a bit of annoyance.

Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders at Richard. Metternich said: "Alright! Ordinary Ambassador Richard! ”

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte continued: "Where did you just speak? Railway...... Well, the railway ......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte gushed to Richard. Metternich peddled the benefits of building a railway, after listening to Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, Richard. Metternich was slightly moved.

However, when thinking about the finances of the Austrian Empire itself, Richard . . . Metternich's heart instantly cooled in half.

As far as Austria's current financial situation is concerned, not to mention the fact that it is important to Jérôme. Bonaparte built the railroad in this way, even if it was only a third of the French Empire, and the money required to pay was the current Richard. Astronomical amounts unimaginable to Metternich.

"Your Majesty, the railroad you are talking about is indeed an indispensable thing for a country, but the length of the railway also depends on the economy of a country!" Richard. Metternich vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Austrian Empire to build railways like the French Empire!" ”

"You're right! There are indeed some gaps between countries, so you need to rely on external forces! "Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Richard. Metternich Dao.

"External forces?" Richard. Metternich immediately understood Jérôme. Bonaparte meaning.

"That's right! External force! The French Empire was willing to help the Austrian Empire, as long as the Austrian Empire could pay a certain amount of interest! ”
