"Go back and tell Jérôme that I will be on time!"

Face Jérôme. Bonaparte's invitation, Franz. Joseph agreed without the slightest hesitation.

The reason why he was willing to come to France to participate in the military parade organized by the French Empire was not to draw in relations with the Anglo-French alliance and to enable the Austrian Empire to integrate into the ranks of the Anglo-French alliance.

Now that the relationship between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire has entered the ranks of quasi-allies, it is time to try to tie up the relationship with Queen Victoria.

Truth be told, Franz. Joseph vs. Jérôme. It was a surprise that Bonaparte dared to openly invite him to contact Queen Victoria.

Isn't the French Empire afraid that the Austrian Empire will abandon the French Empire and form an alliance with the Kingdom of Britain? Franz. Joseph thought to himself.

"Yes! Your Majesty! "Received Franz. Mocal, to whom Joseph responded, immediately responded: "Then I won't bother you!" ”

Mocal then exited the room and closed Franz. Joseph's door.

Subsequently, Mocal travelled by horse-drawn carriage to the Elysée Palace, Jérôme. Bonaparte was now living in the Élysée Palace and talking.

When Mocal arrived at the gate of the Élysée Palace, the two soldiers in charge of guarding the gate stopped him and told him that Gavour, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, had just arrived.

"Kingdom of Sardinia? Where is Prime Minister Cavour now? Mokal hurriedly asked the soldier.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Cavour said that he would await His Majesty's summons at Princess Mathilde's mansion!" The soldier replied to Mokal.

Hearing the soldier's answer, Mokal frowned slightly, and said to himself: "I didn't expect it! Cavour actually boarded Princess Mathilde's boat! Looks like it should have given a lot of ......."

Mokal was only halfway through his sentence when he instantly realized that there were two "idle people" beside him, and hurriedly stopped and reprimanded the two soldiers with a straight face.

The two soldiers hurriedly indicated to Mocal that they had their ears behind and had not heard anything.

"That's good!" Mokal viciously threatened, "If I hear the slightest rumor outside, you're doomed!" Do you understand? ”

The two soldiers assured Mocal that there would be no misinformation.

After establishing his prestige in front of the soldiers, Mocal took out a few bank notes worth a thousand francs from his pocket, and said to the two soldiers in an encouraging tone: "It is also very hard for you to guard the Elysée Palace, and this money will be regarded as the hard money I give you on behalf of Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing the bank notes in Mocal's hand, the eyes of the two soldiers flashed with longing, but none of them dared to actually reach for it.

After all, this person in front of him is the steward of the entire Tuileries Palace!

Seeing that the two soldiers were hesitant to take over, Mokal directly divided the bank notes into two equal amounts, stuffed them into their pockets at home, and reprimanded: "Let you take it, you will be like a girl!" ”

Feeling the "heaviness" of the bank notes in their pockets, the two soldiers thanked Mocal with a smile on their faces.

"Don't thank me! If you want to thank Your Majesty! Mokal waved his hand and instructed the soldiers, "I'll go in first!" Look out for this place! Don't let the crowd wait in! ”

"Your Excellency, don't worry!" The soldier patted his chest and assured Mocal.

Mocal entered the Élysée Palace, and came to the door of the study of the Élysée Palace, listening intently to the movements inside.

At this time, in the study of the Élysée Palace, the French Emperor Jérôme. Bonaparte sat face to face with Prince Albert, the husband of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, on the sofa and discussed the problems of the Crimean peninsula.

"Jérôme...... I can call you like Victoria! "Prince Albert to Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"Absolutely! Albert! "Jérôme. Bonaparte responded to Prince Albert.

"Jérôme...... As you can see, should the armies of our two countries, after the capture of the Sevastopol fortress, continue to expand the scale of the war! Albert asked Jérôme. Whether Bonaparte was willing to expand the war.

"If there is a suitable opportunity, of course we in France will choose to expand the war!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Albert with vague words.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and the muddy words obviously did not satisfy Albert, and he asked inquiringly: "What do you think is the right opportunity?" ”

"If the Russian Empire had suffered heavy losses on the Crimean Peninsula, I would naturally have chosen to pursue it with victory!" Jérôme. Bonaparte responded to Albert: "In its present form, I myself and the War Ministry do not consider pursuit to be a good option!" ”

"But if we don't choose to engage the Russian Empire in a hand-to-hand fight, we may never be able to do them harm! Is it possible that our two countries are going to continue to fight the Russian Empire in the Crimea? Albert asked rhetorically, and raised his own concerns: "If we can't quickly force the Russian Empire to the negotiating table, the Russian Empire's paramilitary alliance in the New World is likely to go to war against us!" ”

I wish the United States of America would join the war! Jérôme. Bonaparte thought to himself.

Anyway, when the United States of America entered the war, it was the Kingdom of Britain that suffered losses.

If the United States of America can fight for its own life to defeat the hegemony of the Kingdom of Britain, Jérôme. Bonaparte will definitely give the United States of America a bang funeral.

It's a pity that a war between the United States and Britain is unlikely to occur in a short period of time, and the reason why Albert said this is probably to urge him to act as soon as possible.

"Albert, I don't think the United States of America is joining this war! Even if it were really willing to join the war, the Russian Empire would probably not be willing to accept it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Prince Albert in a confident tone.

"Oh?" Prince Albert inquired with interest about Jérôme. Bonaparte: "Why do you think they won't be united!" ”

"Because the United States of America is a republican state, and the Russian Empire is a state of absolute monarchy! The different systems of the two countries determine that the two of them will never come together! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Prince Albert: "Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Nicholas I was in a hurry to go to the hospital!" ”

"But even if the United States of America does not join the ranks, we can't always spend on the Crimean peninsula!" Albert paused and sighed at Jérôme. Bonaparte continued: "We spend an extra minute in the Crimean peninsula for thousands of pounds!" Our army is fed up by tens of millions of taxpayers! If we stay in one place all the time, our taxpayers will complain! ”

"You're right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in agreement with Albert and said, "The long war will indeed wear away the enthusiasm and money at home, and once the people find that their taxes have been thrown into a black hole of war with no end, they will probably not love war as much as they do now!" ”

"So, I have to act as soon as possible!" Albert eagerly said: "We can open up a second and third battlefield while attacking the Crimean peninsula, so that the money and soldiers of the Russian Empire will be continuously depleted!" So that we can get rid of the Russian Empire as quickly as possible! ”

"I don't agree with you!" Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately responded to Prince Albert by saying: "The opening of the second and third battlefields will not only quickly deplete the financial reserves of our two countries, but will also not be able to achieve the results we want!" We must do our best and bleed the Russian Empire in the Crimea! ”

"Didn't you just say that the Crimean report should wait for the opportunity?" Prince Albert asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"When I say waiting for an opportunity, I'm not just sitting still!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Albert with a sly smile on his face: "Now that we have occupied Sevastopol, where we have a complete defense system and batteries, we can rely on the defense of Sevastopol to fight a fortress war with the Russian Empire, and constantly wear out their soldiers on the Crimean Peninsula!" ”

"But was Nicholas I really willing to take the initiative to attack Sevastopol?" Albert vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"I can't help Nicholas I if I want it or not!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Albert with a triumphant expression: "A squad of Russian soldiers has been secretly escorted to a nearby prison in Paris, and they will be the highlight of tomorrow's parade!" ”

Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, Prince Albert was shocked.

This is simply a direct slap in the foot of the Russian Empire in front of European countries, and Nicholas I would have been mad if he had known.

"Tomorrow you, me, and Franz. Joseph will stand at the front of the parade to review Russian prisoners of war! "Jérôme. Bonaparte broke the news to Albert again.

"Franz. Joseph? Was he willing to join the opposition to the Russian Empire? Albert hurriedly asked?

"Nope! Franz. Joseph did not know that there were Russian prisoners of war in the parade! The Austrian Empire is still neutral! "Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and gloated: "But after this military parade, it will be difficult for the Austrian Empire to continue to be neutral!" ”

"yes!" Albert also showed a smile on his face and said: "It is difficult for Nicholas I to believe that a country that participated in the parade of Russian prisoners of war can still maintain a neutral attitude!" ”
