Chapter 573: Fooling Prussia
"The Kingdom of Prussia wants to fight alongside the French Empire?" Morality. Ruiz smiled and repeated what the ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia had said, then clapped his hands gently: "We welcome and cherish every country that is willing to fight side by side with the French Empire...... No matter what kind of contradictions they had with the French Empire before......"
Hear De. Ruiys's reply, the Prussian ambassador barely had a trace of comfort in his heart. The fact that Ruiz did not reject them outright is enough to prove that the alliance between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire was not as strong as he had imagined.
However, Jérôme. The pertinent words spoken by the Emperor Bonaparte on the square of the Paris City Hall still made the Prussian ambassador feel difficult to let go.
The Prussian ambassador then tentatively inquired about the German Mission. Ruiz said: "Your Excellency, what if...... I mean, what are you going to do if the Kingdom of Prussia, after making friends with the French Empire, intends to satisfy its own needs at the expense of our interests in the German region? ”
"Mr. Ambassador, if you say that this is not a little too unrealistic!" Morality. Ruiz replied to the Prussian ambassador with a look of surprise.
"Your Excellency, we have to have such worries!" The Prussian ambassador spread his hands and spoke frankly to Germany. "Since the conclusion of the Congress of Vienna," said Ruiz, "our Kingdom of Prussia has become a thorn in the side of the Austrian Empire...... From Prince Metternich to Prince Schwarzenberg, every chancellor of the Austrian Empire, after taking office, spared no effort to suppress us, just because in our Kingdom of Prussia it was the second only country in the German region after the Austrian Empire!
Our repeated concessions were met with one blow after another by the Austrian Empire......"
"Your Excellency, Ambassador, are you worried that the French Empire will be instigated by the Austrian Empire to your detriment...... "De. Ruiz still had a smile on his face.
"I believe that the French Empire, with a foreign minister like you, will not be easily instigated by Austria! It's just ......" The Prussian ambassador paused: "I fear that the Austrian Empire will give something impractical in exchange for His Majesty's acquiescence to the Austrian Empire at some point!" ”
What the Prussian ambassador said was unrealistic. The territory of the Rhineland that Bonaparte had in mind.
I think that Prince Schwarzenberg used the territory of the Rhineland as a bait in exchange for Jérôme. Bonaparte's support for the Austrian Empire beating the Kingdom of Prussia, Jérôme. Bonaparte acquiesced in this.
Had it not been for the greater intervention of the Russian Empire, coupled with the fact that Jérôme. If Bonaparte's position had not been secured, the war between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire would not have ended hastily.
It was for this reason that the Prussian ambassadors feared that the Austrian Empire would lure the French Empire in favor of them by the same means, thus leaving the Kingdom of Prussia in a desperate situation.
The diplomatic environment of the Kingdom of Prussia now is not the same as it was a few years ago, when the Kingdom of Prussia was still supported by the big brother of the Russian Empire.
With the start of the Crimean War, the Kingdom of Prussia not only lost its big brother, the Russian Empire, but also gained the hatred of the big brother along with the Austrian Empire for its neutrality after the war began.
[PS: In the history of OTL, the war between the Kingdom of Prussia at Omimuts has not been as stretched as this in this plane!] Frederick. Nor did William IV, like the regent Wilhelm, carry out a bayonet counter-revolution in order to win the favor of the Russian Empire.
As a result, the Kingdom of Prussia in the OTL world line has a much better reputation in the German region than in the Mainland, and its relationship with the Russian Empire in the Crimean War is not as close as it is to the Mainland.
So after the Crimean War, the Kingdom of Prussia quickly moved closer to the Russian Empire. 】
The Prussian ambassador could even be sure that the Russian Empire after the end of the war would inevitably develop hostile sentiments towards the Kingdom of Prussia.
If the Austrian Empire had attacked the Kingdom of Prussia at that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Mr. Ambassador, you're too worried!" Morality. Chancellor Ruiz bluntly voiced the Prussian ambassador's concerns: "If you want to say that the Austrian Empire wants to dismember the Kingdom of Prussia in conjunction with the French Empire, you need not beat around the bush! ”
"I'm not ......," the Prussian ambassador hastened to explain, "I don't think that the French Empire would do such a thing, dismembering the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Austrian Empire would inevitably dominate the German region!" This would not do the French Empire any good! ”
"Since you all know, Mr. Ambassador, that this is not good for France, then why should we do it!" Morality. "You need not doubt that the Austrian Empire will be detrimental to your homeland, and I can assure you that the Austrian Empire's ambassador has not spoken ill of you in his dealings with us!" Instead, they saw the Kingdom of Prussia as part of the maintenance of the European order......"
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved!"
Although the Prussian ambassador said that he was relieved, he still did not want to believe in Germany. The words of Ruiz, de De. Ruiz's statement was merely an attempt to divert the issue.
Will the Austrian Empire say a good word about the Kingdom of Prussia? Unless the sun comes out of the west!
Even if it is German. Ruiys dealt with his problems in a perfunctory manner, and he still had to show him the attitude of the Kingdom of Prussia in a good voice, and that anger would not solve the problem, but would make it troublesome.
"Then again!" Morality. The smile on Luyce's face became even more sincere: "Your ambassador's speech in Frankfurt is really shocking! ”
"What?" The Prussian ambassador was stunned for a few seconds, as if he did not understand the German Ambassador. The meaning of Ruiz.
"Have you forgotten the classic statement of the ambassador you appointed in Frankfurt? Speaking of which, I haven't forgotten that statement to this day! "De. Ruiz's tone began to grow yin and yang.
"Your Excellency, I really don't know what the Frankfurt Parliament said!" The Prussian ambassador replied with a bewildered expression. Bonaparte.
Morality. Ruiz will be the current Frankfurt representative. Bismarck's golden sentence "treaty" was told to the Prussian ambassador, and then he praised it: "The representative of your country has a unique view of the treaty!" ”
[PS: Feng. Bismarck's statement in Frankfurt in 1851: "A treaty, if it is in our favor, is a treaty." If it's not good for us, he's a piece of waste paper! ”
This golden sentence can be said to be the predecessor of "historical documents have no practical significance". 】
"This is only a personal opinion, and does not represent the opinion of the Kingdom of Prussia!" The Prussian ambassador hastened to argue.
"But the Kingdom of Prussia has such a man as a representative!" Morality. Ruiz had a regretful expression on his face: "I really doubt that the Kingdom of Prussia will really not abide by the treaty, as he said!" ”
The ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia had no choice but to ask the German ambassador to the German Empire. Ruiz assured that they would abide by the "established" treaty, and at the same time would be satisfied with von Lee. Bismarck punished.
"No need for punishment!" Morality. Ruiz waved his hand magnanimously, "As long as the Kingdom of Prussia does not really do what the Bismarck representative said, it is the best goodwill to the French Empire."
Mr. Ambassador, you should know that this war is destined to end with the defeat of the Russian Empire!
With the defeat of the Russian Empire, so did the Holy Alliance, which excluded France from the European mainstream.
A new order will be established under the leadership of the Kingdom of Britain, the French Empire, and the Austrian Empire!
At that time, the Kingdom of Prussia will not tear down our platform!
If there is a country that dares to dismantle Taiwan, you will bear the consequences! ”
Face Duc. Ruiys's threat, the Prussian ambassador had no choice but to repeatedly respond to Germany. Ruiz assured that their Kingdom of Prussia would be the first responders to the new order.
"That's good! I would like to believe in the sincerity of the Kingdom of Prussia "Des. Ruiz nodded in satisfaction, and then replied to the Kingdom of Prussia: "I'll tell you! The Austrian Empire did talk something about it with the French Empire! ”
"What's the matter?" The Prussian ambassador raised his heart to his throat.
"Don't be nervous! Not a problem of the German region, and the Danube principalities! "De. Luyce explained to the Prussian ambassador: "We hope that the Austrian Empire will continue to exert pressure on the Russian Empire in the Danube region so that the Russian Empire will not be able to devote all its forces to the Crimean peninsula, and the Austrian Empire has not agreed to the French Empire's proposal!"
However, they sent their own emperor over! ”
Hear De. The Prussian ambassador was finally relieved by Ruiys's answer.
Since there was no de facto alliance between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia did not have to worry about suffering a double blow from the Austrian Empire and the French Empire for the time being.
"That's right! It is not known whether the Kingdom of Prussia was willing to continue certain pressure from the Russian Empire in the Königsberg region! "De. Ruiys wrote a blank check to the Prussian ambassador: "If all goes well, the Kingdom of Prussia will be able to acquire the lands lost at the Congress of Vienna!" ”
The French Empire: This is to completely destroy the Russian Empire? Such an idea popped into the head of the Prussian ambassador.
But such a ridiculous idea was soon extinguished by the Prussian ambassador.
No! It shouldn't be possible! The French Empire, having experienced one defeat, should know how difficult it is to destroy the Russian Empire! They wouldn't do such stupid things!
Having figured this out, the Prussian ambassador decided to use delaying tactics: "This question is really not something I can decide!" I need to reply to the monarch of Berlin before I give you an answer! ”
