Albert & Jérôme. Bonaparte and the two men agreed with each other to take Franz. Joseph dragged into the water after Jérôme. Bonaparte then said to Albert: "Once Nicholas I ordered his men to attack the fortress of Sevastopol at all costs, there was only one thing we needed to do, and that was to drag the defense of Sevastopol until winter!" Let the Slavs also feel the bitter cold of the Crimea, and when they want to retreat, we will send troops to cut off their road to the hinterland of the Russian Empire! It's called shutting down the door and beating the dog! ”

Listened to Jérôme. Bonaparte's description, Albert suddenly had a feeling of excitement.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's plan of battle to shut down the door and fight the dog was indeed much more reasonable than the opening of the second (Sweden) and third (Caucasus) theater discussed by the cabinet.

After all, Britain itself also didn't have much of the manpower to squander.

At present, the British War Department's plan for a grand army of more than 100,000 men is actually less than 40,000.

These forces could not afford to open up a new battlefield, and at best they would fill the British army, which had suffered heavy losses on the Crimean peninsula.

You must know that telegrams from Commander Raglan to replenish his forces are sent to London every two or three days, and the Cabinet is already annoyed by Commander Raglan.

Therefore, a few days ago, Palmerston had to convene a cabinet meeting to discuss the question of Britain's troops, and at that meeting, the Minister of War, the Duke of Newcaster's plan to recruit mercenaries, was unanimously approved by the Cabinet ministers, and the Duke of Newcaster's plan was to recruit a group of German mercenaries in Germany, especially Hesse, to fight for the Kingdom of Britain.

They hope that the Hessian mercenaries they recruit will be as loyal and reliable as the Hessian mercenaries during the Napoleonic Wars!

It's just that everyone, including the Duke of Newcastle, didn't realize that the era of Hessian mercenaries had passed.

With the advancement of technology, the Hessians, who were once poor, can now work in wealthy areas such as the Rhineland.

With just one ticket to the New World, the Germans were able to leave the heavily involuted regions of Germany and go to the New World of their dreams.

In the New World, they no longer have to suffer from the layers of exploitation of local princes, and those who are a little more bold can even establish a foundation in the New World.

With the option of the New World, few people were willing to serve as thugs of the Kingdom of Britain.

After all, the Kingdom of Britain treats its soldiers like cattle...... No, it should be said that it is worse than treating livestock, at least the livestock also need to be fed and drunk to be able to produce output, and the food of those mercenaries will be even worse than that of the regular army of the Kingdom of Britain, as long as they eat undead things for the time being, they can become food for mercenaries and regular soldiers.

Because the Kingdom of Britain itself was unable to recruit enough people to join the army, and Albert himself was a potential German nationalist (Albert's German national sentiment was in British interests), he was unhappy with Palmerston's recruitment of Hesses, who were also Germans, to serve as cannon fodder.

So Prince Albert immediately approved of Jérôme. Bonaparte's attrition tactics. However, Prince Albert also hinted that Jérôme. Bonaparte, the royal family could not immediately express its support for France's opinion, France needed to put pressure on the British cabinet through Raglan, and then the royal family would assist from it.

"Only then will our stubborn Palmerston change his opinion!" Prince Albert shrugged his shoulders at Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"I see!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and replied to Prince Albert.

"That's right! Franz. How are you going to appease Joseph? It's not easy to let anyone be used as a gun! "Prince Albert to Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"I think if the two countries each provide a loan to the Austrian Empire, the Austrian Empire will be able to swallow it for the sake of money!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Albert tract.

"Loans?" Prince Albert was puzzled by Jérôme. Bonaparte asked: "Are you sure that the Austrian Empire still has the capacity to pay its debts?" ”

"There should be!" Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately said to Prince Albert in an uncertain tone: "After all, the market of the Austrian Empire is not too small, and the ability to repay debts should still be there!" ”

"Although the territory of the Austrian Empire is large, their market is small, and many people are tied to the land!" Albert was clearly not too interested in investing in the Austrian Empire.

Who let the Habsburg Kingdom pit Britain because of debt problems during the Napoleonic Wars.

Today, the Austrian Empire owes the Kingdom of Britain a large sum of money that has not been returned.

It can be said that the British government had a crisis of confidence in the Austrian imperial government.

"We can designate loans to specific areas!" Jérôme. Bonaparte hurriedly replied to Albert: "For example: railways and infrastructure!" No country can give up the construction and maintenance of these two things! We just need to leave at the right time, and not only will we not have an accident, but we will also be able to make a lot of money! ”

"You mean railroad speculation?" Prince Albert immediately understood Jérôme. Bonaparte meaning.

"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and replied to Prince Albert.

"It's a good project indeed!" Prince Albert pondered for a moment before looking back at Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "It depends! If Franz. If Joseph is really resistant, then let's tell him about the loan! ”

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Prince Albert discussed the issues of Sweden, Denmark (Germany, for example), and the Apennine Peninsula, and after an exchange of views, it was agreed that it would be better to maintain the status quo between Sweden and Denmark and the Apennines.

Finally, Prince Albert got up and prepared to return to the Louvre. Bonaparte also got up and sent Prince Albert out of the Élysée.

Watching Prince Albert's car drive away from Jérôme at the Élysée Palace. Bonaparte was about to return to the Tuileries Palace in a carriage when Mocal appeared in Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte reported: "Your Majesty, while you were talking to Prince Albert, Monsieur Cavour of the Kingdom of Sardinia came to you! ”

"Cavour?" Jérôme. Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, then said with a headache: "What does he want to do?" ”

Although said Jérôme. Bonaparte was not prepared to help Cavour unify the Apennines, but that did not mean that Jérôme was not going to do so. Bonaparte doesn't want this little brother of Sardinia!

The existence of Sardinia can be said to be Jérôme. Bonaparte buried a nail in the Apennines in order to warn the Austrian Empire not to think of confronting France, otherwise Sardinia would lead France into the Apennines and sweep across the Apennine Peninsula.

How to take advantage of Sardinia and not be tied to it is a real question.

Especially in the face of a talent like Cavour, who is well-versed in both foreign and domestic affairs.

If Cavour hadn't been in Sardinia, his stage would have been much wider than it is now.

"Where is Cavour now?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Mocal.

"Mr. Cavour says that he is now waiting for your summons in Princess Mathilde's mansion!" Mocal vs Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"My sister!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head again and sighed, "Forget it, don't go back!" Take advantage of this time to meet our guests from afar! Let's go, go to my sister's mansion! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mocal hurriedly responded.

The carriage carried Jérôme. Bonaparte went to Mathilde's mansion.

……

Get off Jérôme in front of the mansion. Bonaparte went straight to the door of the mansion and knocked softly.

"Who?" The voice of the maid of the mansion came from outside the door.

"Open the door, I'm an admirer of Princess Mathilde!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a sharp voice to the door.

"You're late, the princess is holding a salon!" The maid inside the door to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"I don't care! I just want to meet the princess! "Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to shrill his voice in amusement.

"You person, why are you so rude!" The maid's voice got closer and closer, and the door opened: "I'm not afraid to tell you...... Your Majesty! ”

The enraged maid realized that the person standing outside was none other than Jérôme. Bonaparte, the original anger immediately turned to fear.

Oh, my God! What I just did!

"Shh Jérôme. Bonaparte made a silent motion, and then asked the maid, "Monsieur Cavour is in there now!" ”

"In!" The maid hurriedly nodded in response.

For the fat gentleman who was a little excessive, the maid could be said to be fresh in his memory.

"Then take me to a room where no one is there, and then go and tell my sister quietly that I want to meet with Cavour and ask her to call Cavour out! Got it? "Jérôme. Bonaparte instructed the maid word by word.

The maid nodded, and then took Jérôme. Bonaparte took to a room where there was no one: "Your Majesty, you wait here for a moment!" ”

Immediately, the maid left Jérôme. Bonaparte's room, went to the room where Princess Mathilde was.

At this time, the gentlemen and ladies surrounding Princess Mathilde were quietly listening to Princess Mathilde's comments on Parisian literature, and the sound of the maid pushing the door in attracted everyone's attention.

"What's going on?" Princess Mathilde paused and asked the maid.

The maid came to Princess Mathilde's side and leaned into Princess Mathilde's ear to send Jérôme. What Bonaparte had told her was told to Princess Mathilde.

"Everyone, please wait a minute!" Princess Mathilde paused the ongoing book review, then turned her gaze to Cavour: "Mr. Cavour, can you come out with me!" ”
