Chapter 582: Instigating Egypt
Morality. Ruiz nodded and bowed to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained in a gushing voice: "Yes! Your Majesty! If the Empire had been granted a concession in Egypt of its own land/buildings attached to the Suez Canal, I think the Kingdom of Britain would have tacitly traded between the Empire and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
As long as the Kingdom of Britain is settled, the problem of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg can be solved! ”
After listening to the de. Views of Ruiz, Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded slightly, then hinted reservedly: "Minister Ruice, please don't forget!" We made an agreement with the Kingdom of Britain on Egypt a few years ago! ”
Jérôme. The so-called agreement in Bonaparte's mouth refers to the reception of Walewski by Jérôme. Bonaparte's delegation went to the Kingdom of Britain to consult with Palmerston, who was then the Foreign Secretary of the Kingdom of Britain, on action against the Russian Empire.
At that time, Valevsky not only discussed the problems of the Russian Empire with Palmerston, but also reached an "understanding" on Egypt, Niger, Nigeria and other issues. (See previous chapters for details)
It was also after Valewski's mission to the Kingdom of Britain that the hostility of the Kingdom of Britain to France at the official level (especially the navy) weakened slightly.
It's only been a few years now, and Jérôme. Bonaparte was about to overturn the original agreement, which may give people the impression that he has not believed his word.
Of course, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not mean that conventions must be kept, and for a pragmatist like him, there was no treaty that could not be broken.
After all, the greatest virtue of a monarch is not to keep his promises.
Therefore, Jérôme. The Bonaparte subtext is Jeander. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, led by Ruiz, used the power of the people to attack Abbas without the official appearance of the French Empire, so that Said could naturally inherit the position of governor.
At that time, even if the Kingdom of Britain knew that Abbas was related to the French Empire, they would also have to swallow the bitter fruit alone because there was no evidence to prove it.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Morality. Naturally, Ruiz understood his subtext, and he hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained: "I guarantee that this operation against Abbas will not have an official person from the French Empire!" ”
"What are you going to do?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked curiously. Ruiz, he wanted to hear what the resourceful diplomatic ambassador had to say.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if you remember Ferdinand. Morality. Mr. Leseps! "De. Ruiz asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"Ferdinand. Morality. Lespes? "Jérôme. Bonaparte groaned, bowed his head and muttered, "Let me think!" The name sounds familiar! ”
Sit in Jérôme. Bonaparte's side. Ruiz waited silently for Jérôme. Bonaparte, after a while, Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his head again to Germany. Ruiz said: "I remember, I remember that he was not the previous consul in Egypt?" ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte remembered him because of a letter that Lespes had written to him and a check that was attached to the letter.
The letter to Lessepus said that his father, Mathieu. Morality. Lesepus was a diplomat on Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, and after the withdrawal of the French army, he became consul in Egypt at the behest of the Emperor Napoleon.
Lespes himself was influenced by his father to become a Bonapartist, and he had been waiting for Napoleon's return......
Although Lesepus tried to explain how he had been hiding under the banner of the Bourbons and Orleans, Jérôme. Bonaparte remained convinced that Lespes was nothing more than a traditional opportunist.
What's more, the time for Lesepus speculation was not Jérôme. When Bonaparte first became president, it was after he defeated Chahangargne and completely took half of the French regime.
In Jérôme. In Bonaparte's camp, the first-class heroes were people like Pesini, Mocal, Taylor, and Ruet, who had always stood firmly with Bonaparte, or bankers and industrialists like Furd, Magne, and Dieco, and the second-class heroes were Saints. Arnault, Conrobel, Niel helped Jérôme. Bonaparte's man who completed the coup d'état (because Jérôme. Bonaparte was wary of bayonets, which is why they were in Jérôme. Bonaparte's mind tended to be second-class). The third class was to support the Bonaparte deputies in Parliament. And the last heroes are those who join last, and there are too many such people.
So Jérôme. Bonaparte chose to accept Lesseps's check, and then encouraged him!
"Your Majesty, Monsieur Lespes has resigned from all his posts in the French Foreign Office to become a speculative merchant in Egypt!" Morality. Ruiz vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"Go to the sea to do business!" Jérôme. Bonaparte touched his chin and asked, "Are you going to use him for this?" ”
"Your Majesty, Mr. Lesepus was once a Muhammad. Governor Ali's equestrian teacher, so he himself was still a little influential in Egypt! "De. Ruiz vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"Since he is inextricably linked to Egypt, how could he be willing to kill Abbas?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically.
Morality. Ruiz to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained that since 1852, when Lespes went to the sea to do business, he had run into walls everywhere, and the Suez Canal development plan that he had managed to write down was ignored by Abbas and the Ottoman government, so Lespes decided that Abbas's presence would affect his plans.
Lesepus was always looking for an opportunity to make his Suez Canal project a reality, so he quietly bribed Abbas's bodyguards in the hope that he could one day kill him.
After listening to the de. Description of Ruiz, Jérôme. Bonaparte's mind unconsciously conjured up the image of a cold-faced hero.
"Mr. Lessepus is so daring!" Jérôme. A smile appeared at the corner of Bonaparte's mouth, and he tapped lightly on the table to set the tone: "Still, we need such bold fellows!" Tell Mr. Lespes that if he really has what it takes to assassinate Abbas, the Empire won't mind helping him!
Even if he fails, the Empire will help him deal with the aftermath, but he must promise me that the assassination will not have anything to do with the French Empire!
If it is discovered that the empire is involved in the assassination, then he will have to bear the consequences alone! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! "De. Ruiz hurriedly responded.
"Of course, in return, the Imperial Government will buy his equity for 300 francs per share after he takes the right to widen the Suez Canal!" Jérôme. Bonaparte v. De. Ruiz said.
Morality. Ruiz nodded, and bowed to Jérôme. Bonaparte said that he would definitely bring Jérôme. Bonaparte's words brought to Lesepus.
"It's just that the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has involved so many countries!" Jérôme. Bonaparte let out a sigh of emotion.
If it weren't for the fact that France itself was no longer strong enough to single out the whole of Europe, Jérôme. Nor would Bonaparte choose to leverage European diplomacy by exchanging benefits with each other.
"Your Majesty, this has been the case in Germany since ancient times!" Morality. Ruiz shrugged at Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"Now I envy my uncle! If he were there, where would he be so complicated! "Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed: "Now is no longer the time when one country singles out the whole of Europe, and only cooperation between powerful countries can achieve a win-win situation!" ”
Morality. Ruiz also nodded in agreement with Jérôme. Bonaparte's view.
Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte again against Germany. Ruiz gave some encouragement and instructed De. Ruiz has a good rest.
In Germany. Ruiz's farewell to Jérôme. Bonaparte and Mocal were once again in the carriage they had come, carrying Jérôme. Bonaparte faded into the night.
……
June 23, 1854, 8 a.m.
Jérôme was woken up from his sleep. Bonaparte yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes, and muttered, "What time is it?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's eight o'clock now! If you don't get out of bed, you'll miss the Queen Victoria and Prince Albert train! "Standing in Jérôme. Queen Augusta at the bedside of Bonaparte held a bulging belly against Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately thought that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were coming over to-day, and he hurriedly put his clothes on.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be in a hurry!" Looking at Jérôme with a flustered face. Bonaparte Augusta said again: "Have you forgotten! Victoria & Albert arrives at 11 o'clock! ”
"That's right!" Jérôme, who has not yet fully woken up. Bonaparte stopped dressing, then lay down again and said lazily: "Then I'll sleep for a while!" ”
Empress Augusta looked at Jérôme with a smile in her eyes. Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, Franz. Emperor Joseph and Prince Metternich went to the restaurant for dinner! ”
"Holy!" Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Are they iron men?" ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte remembered that he returned to the Tuileries Palace at 3:30 a.m., when Joseph Brown. The lights in Franz's room have not been extinguished.
That is to say Joseph. Franz slept for four and a half hours at most.
"I don't know!" Augusta spoke in a playful tone to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "But at least some are much more diligent than some!" ”
"That's it! I know! ”
