Chapter 662: All parties move
In the view of the Ambassador of Sardinia, Prime Minister Cavour's reply was both an encouragement and a hint.
Sure enough, a few days after Prime Minister Cavour's telegram was sent, the Sardinian ambassador received a gift from Turin and a personal letter from Prime Minister Cavour.
There are many types of gifts, but the most precious of them is the pebble-sized sapphire.
According to Prime Minister Cavour, the Ambassador of Sardinia learned that the pebble-sized sapphire was one of the king's private collections, and now it was in the hands of the Ambassador of Sardinia, hoping that he would be able to maximize the value of the sapphire and not disappoint the king's ardent hopes.
After reading Cavour's letter, the Sardinian ambassador felt sincere admiration for Cavour's ability to persuade the king to carry out the plan (in fact, the king of Sardinia had already been convinced), knowing that the two places of Savoyin and Nice were the dragons of the Savoyin royal family, and it was very difficult to persuade the king to give up the dragons in exchange for an opportunity to send troops.
Cavour not only succeeded in convincing the king to carry out this plan, but also received a precious sapphire from the royal family of Savoyin as a gift to the Bonapartes.
It is conceivable how high the trust of Prime Minister Cavour is in His Majesty's heart, and there are more opportunities for promotion as ambassador with such a figure.
Later, the ambassador of the Kingdom of Sardinia lit Cavour's letter, hid the gift, and sat alone in his chair thinking about how to give the gift to maximize the value of the gift itself.
While the ambassador of Sardinia was thinking, in a room in the Palazzo Tuinleries, the Empress Augusta of the French Empire sat on a sofa listening to the report.
The person in charge of reporting to Empress Augusta was none other than the director of the French National Intelligence Service, Marcel. Yaruger.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Cavour, to the Ambassador of Sardinia!" Marcel. Yaruger took out the folded letter from his purse and handed it to Empress Augusta.
Empress Augusta lowered her head and read through it carefully, then raised her head again and asked Marcel curiously. Yaruger, since Prime Minister Cavour's letter to the Ambassador of Sardinia is in her hands, then the Ambassador of Sardinia does not have Cavour's letter in her hands. Will the Sardinian ambassador, who did not receive the letter, suspect that it reached the head of France!
Marcel. Yaruger told Empress Augusta that the letter in her possession was only a copy, and that the actual letter should have arrived at the Sardinian embassy by now, so there would be no accident as Queen Augusta had claimed.
Empress Augusta's face showed a slight surprise. Yaruger was able to accomplish a series of actions without moving.
This is not something that can be illustrated by Marcel. Yaruger itself......
Looking at the vigilant Empress Augusta, Marcel. Yaruger couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
One of the worst things about being a special cop is that you will be hostile to the monarch at all times.
After all, every monarch is a person who is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, and a profession such as a special policeman, which can spy on everyone except the monarch, may not be able to spy on the monarch.
It is thought that his predecessor Fuch had to leave the post of police minister because of the suspicion of the monarch.
Now, is he going to suffer from the queen's suspicion?
"Your Majesty, the defense of the Douilleri Palace is not my responsibility, but by Edgar. General Nee-Yin is in charge! "In order to avoid being suspicious of Marcel by Empress Augusta. Yaruger hurriedly explained to Empress Augusta.
"I see!" Empress Augusta's face flushed slightly, and she realized that her previous behavior was indeed inappropriate, and then immediately changed to a kind smile at Marcel. Yaruger responded: "Monsieur Marcel, you have made an indelible contribution to France!" I will report your exploits to the Emperor! ”
"It is my privilege to be able to serve the Bonaparte family!" Marcel. Yaruger responded to Empress Augusta.
Next, Empress Augusta asked Marcel again. Yaruger, do you have any other news to report?
"Your Majesty, I also received a message from St. Petersburg, which was sent by members of the Foreign Intelligence Service sent to Russia by the National Intelligence Service!" Marcel. Yaruger said to Empress Augusta as he respectfully handed over the contents of the information to Empress Augusta.
Augusta takes over Marcel. The information that Yaruger handed over, the detailed record of the information, the state of Nicholas I's life in the recent period (day and night, working all night), physical condition, (some time ago, the temperature in St. Petersburg dropped suddenly, and Nicholas I suffered from a severe flu at the same time, he insisted on reviewing the army in the suburbs of St. Petersburg without winter clothes, and, in recent times, an analysis of the contents of the newspapers published in St. Petersburg (the newspapers reported only once that Nicholas I fell ill with the flu for the sake of the Russian Empire, and in the following period, there was no news about the health of the tsar, which was not reported in the newspapers. )
At the same time, through the nobles who were inclined to France, he found Nicholas I's personal physician and asked about Nicholas I's condition.
In the end, the conclusion of the information was made: all indications were that under the blow of successive failures, the already old Nicholas I's health was getting worse and worse, and it was very likely that he would not survive this winter.
Empress Augusta, who read the contents and conclusions of the information, showed a smile on her face, she knew that once Nicholas I returned to the arms of the Lord this winter, then the morale of the Russian Imperial Army would inevitably fall.
When the time comes, the French army will be able to quickly crush the Russian army and thus win the war.
"Send this news to the Crimean peninsula as soon as possible!" Augusta put the information on the table, and then added: "Remember not to send it explicitly, use cipher to send it to Crimea!" ”
"Yes!" Marcel. Yaruger stood up and replied to Empress Augusta, then tenderly bid Empress Augusta.
"Good work!" Empress Augusta bowed slightly to Marcel. Yaruger responded.
"That's what I'm supposed to do!" Marcel. Yaruger replied.
Stay until Marcel. After Yaruger left, Mocal, the head of the palace, appeared in front of Empress Augusta and said, "Your Majesty! ”
"What's wrong?" Empress Augusta asked Mocal Dao.
Mocal told Empress Augusta, banker Emile. Perel & Yin Sak. Perel wanted to meet her.
"Let them come!" Empress Augusta, as if she had anticipated their arrival, spoke in a calm tone.
After a while, Emile. Perel & Yin Sak. Perel appeared in front of Empress Augusta.
"Your Majesty!" The Perel brothers bowed to Empress Augusta.
"Sit down!" As soon as the two sides met, Empress Augusta got straight to the point and said: "The purpose of your coming to the Palazzo Duinlery is not to win the right to issue bank notes and redeem notes from the Bank of Luxembourg, right?" ”
The Perel brothers' expressions showed a hint of surprise, their desire to obtain the right to issue bank notes of the Bank of Luxembourg through Empress Augusta was only something they had decided to fight for in the recent past.
Why did Empress Augusta know what they thought, when none of them told them!
For a moment, the Perel brothers felt that they seemed to have a little peep at the queen in front of them.
"The Emperor once told me that you two brothers are a pair of ambitious and courageous bankers, so you are absolutely not willing to submit to the control of the Banque de France!" Empress Augusta said unhurriedly to the Perel brothers: "However, the right to issue bank bills and redeem bills in all the whole of France has been monopolized by the Bank of France, and the only way for you to break the situation is the right to issue bank bills and redeem notes held by the Bank of Luxembourg!" Am I right? Emir. Mr. Perel! ”
"Your Majesty, you are right!" Emir. Perel nodded and said respectfully to Empress Augusta: "Thanks to the love of the two Majesies, my brother and I have been able to get to where we are today!" We will remain loyal to Your Majesty and Empress to the end of our lives! ”
"Monsieur Emile, my husband and I both know the loyalty of your two brothers, otherwise we would not have entrusted the business of the Bonaparte family to you!" Augusta vs. Emile. Perel said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust in us!" Emir. Perel said deferentially to Empress Augusta.
"But the right to issue bank notes from the Banco du Luxembourg is not just something you want to obtain, I think the Banque de Lancy is also imperative to it!" Empress Augusta said softly: "You should know that for a monopoly bank, the Bank of Luxembourg is small, but it has all the functions of the Bank of France!" In other words, it has the possibility of becoming a Banque de France, and I think that if the Banque de Luxembourg were handed over to you, the Banque de France would not let it go.
If you were to get involved with the Banque de France because of the problems of the Banque de Luxembourg, it would be a great trouble for me and Your Majesty! ”
After saying that, Augusta pretended to have a headache and said to Emir. Perrell Tract.
"Your Majesty, if you are willing to leave the Bank of Luxembourg in our care, then this bank will always belong to you and His Majesty the Emperor!" Emir. Perel decisively threw out the greatest bargaining chips they could give the emperor and empress,
And the Emile was convinced that even the Banque de France could not give them such a bargaining chip.
"Mr. Emile, can you tell me why you are doing this? If you do, won't you get nothing? ”
