Chapter 747: Swedish Ambition

After the Polish question was properly settled, there was no need for Maximilian and Count Baul to remain in France.

So, on the fourth day after the baptismal ceremony, the Grand Duke Maximilian and the Count of Baul presented a letter to Jérôme. Bonaparte resigned.

"Are you leaving so soon?"

Despite the fact that Jérôme. Bonaparte had known that Maximilian and Count Bauer would be leaving in the near future, but when Maximilian actually asked him to resign, Jérôme. Bonaparte was still a little lost in his heart.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much for the help you have given me during this time!" Grand Duke Maximilian was sincere to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

No one knows better than Maximilian, if it weren't for Jérôme. With the help of Bonaparte, it was really difficult for Maximilian and the Austrian Empire behind him to gain the support of Prince Czartorysky.

It is precisely because there is Jerome. Bonaparte's pressure led Prince Czartorysky to abandon his dream of a republic and instead support Archduke Maximilian as King of Poland.

It was through this communication that Maximilian discovered that the influence of the French Empire on Poland was even greater than he had imagined.

"It's just a matter of raising your hands!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand lightly and said a word to Archduke Maximilian.

"I sincerely hope that when I succeed to the Grand Duke of Warsaw, you and Empress Augusta will come!" Archduke Maximilian once again addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte extended the invitation.

"Don't worry! I will definitely go with Empress Augusta!! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, and then added: "By the way, please help me to tell Monsieur Bauer that I hope he will give me an answer as soon as possible!" ”

"I'll tell Count Bauer on your behalf!!" Maximilian replied.

Later, under Mocal's arrangement, Maximilian and Count Bauer got into a carriage bound for the Paris train station.

They will travel by train from Paris to Strasbourg and then to Germany via Strasbourg.

The day after the departure of the Archduke Maximilian and the Count of Baul, Queen Catalina also sent a message to Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta resigned.

"Sister, don't you play for two days before you leave?"

"Yes! Cousin, why don't you play for two days before leaving! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta graciously kept Queen Caterina.

Queen Caterina shook her head at Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta replied that the reason why she had stayed in Paris for so long was simply to attend the baptism of Crown Prince Friedrich.

Now that her baptism is over, it is time for her to return to the Netherlands.

Seeing that Queen Caterina insisted on leaving, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Empress Augusta were not easy to forcibly keep.

"Cousin, be careful all the way! I hope you can come with your brother-in-law next time! Augusta and I must greet each other! "Jérôme. Bonaparte addressed Queen Catalina politely.

"Got it!" Queen Catalina replied lightly, and then went on to ask Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "By the way, you asked me to ask about the monetary alliance, and William has already replied to me!" ”

"Huh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte instantly came to his senses, and he hurriedly asked cordially, "What did my brother-in-law say?" ”

Queen Caterina angrily turned Jerome white. After a glance, Bonaparte responded: "William said that the Kingdom of the Netherlands does not exclude joining France in principle to form a monetary alliance!"

However, the premise is that the currency alliance you form must first have a certain number of countries to join the alliance! ”

"Ahh Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his mouth slightly, he originally wanted to win over Belgium, the Netherlands, Sardinia, and the Papal States, and then attract more countries to join them.

Now the Kingdom of the Netherlands has to wait until the monetary alliance has been formed a little before joining it, isn't this just trying to pick up ready-made!

If every country thinks like the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Jérôme. Bonaparte's plan for a monetary union is about to die in the womb!

"Cousin, I'm sorry!" Queen Caterina vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "The Kingdom of the Netherlands is different from the French Empire, and William's rights are different from yours, so the monetary alliance is very important, and it must be approved by the Parliament!" ”

"Okay!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders at Queen Catalina and replied helplessly: "I can only do my best!" ”

……

After Queen Caterina left Paris, Jérôme. Bonaparte locked himself in his study, contemplating the possibility of joining the Monetary Union.

Sweden? This should work, Spain......

Until there was a knock on the door, Jérôme. Bonaparte stopped thinking and turned to the door: "Please come in!" ”

Mokal's figure appeared at the door, "Your Majesty, Duke Snasa from the Kingdom of Sweden wants to visit you!" ”

"Duke Snatha!" Jérôme. After Bonaparte pondered for a moment, it suddenly occurred to him that this so-called Duke of Snatha was not the future Swedish kingdom Carl XV.

The reason why he chose this time to come here was probably because of the Finnish problem.

"Let him in!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said a word to Mocar.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Mokal nodded, then turned to leave.

After a while, the Duke of Snatha appeared in Jérôme. In front of Bonaparte, judging by Snasa's appearance, he did bear some resemblance to Marshal Bertier.

Could it be that intergenerational inheritance is now popular?

Looking at the duke in front of him, who looked a little similar to the marshal of the Empire, Jérôme. Bonaparte silently complained in his heart.

"Your Majesty!" The Duke of Snasa, who was introduced by Mocal, saw Jérôme. Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds at first glance, then quickly returned and bowed.

"Duke Snasa, come and sit!" Jérôme. Bonaparte beckoned to Duke Snasa.

The Duke of Snatha hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte was beside him, and then sat down across from him.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately pretended to be unaware and asked Duke Snatha what he was looking for!

Duke Snasa told Jérôme. Bonaparte, who had come to visit Jérôme on the orders of his father. Your Majesty Bonaparte.

"Lord Snath, thank you to your father, King Oscar, on my behalf!"

Since Duke Snatha was reluctant to tell his true intentions, Jérôme. Bonaparte had no choice but to turn into a topic terminator and responded to Duke Snatha.

The Duke of Snatha once again sent a message to Jérôme. Bonaparte thanked him and then tactfully told Jérôme. Bonaparte offered to visit Jérôme in addition to being ordered. Outside of Bonaparte, there is also from Jérôme. Bonaparte asked him what he was going to do with Finland!

"Dealing with Finland?" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied in a flat tone, "The Finnish deal should be talked about in two months, not now!" ”

"But I heard the Prime Minister of Palmerston of England...... "Duke Snatha could not wait to say to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Mr. Duke Snatha !" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Duke Snatha in a cold tone, "Now that you have received the exact news from Palmerston, you should really follow closely behind Britannia." Why bother to visit Paris in person! ”

Duke Snatha heard Jérôme. Bonaparte's displeasure, he hurriedly complained to Jérôme. Bonaparte apologized.

"Duke Snathsa, you don't need to apologize!" Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to put on a posture of not being approachable, "I understand and respect the choice of the Kingdom of Sweden, and the original Marshal Berthier did not rely on the interests of France to gain Russia's understanding!" ”

Face Jérôme. Bonaparte's ridicule, even though Duke Snatha felt extremely humiliated in his heart, he had to smile at Jérôme. Bonaparte said that something did happen that led his grandfather Bertier to meet his colleagues in France, but that he could ask Jérôme . Bonaparte assured that his grandfather never said a bad word about the emperor.

From the beginning of the Duke of Snathsar's memory, Berthier told him the story of the emperor who led them to conquer most of Europe.

"My grandfather has always respected His Majesty the Emperor!" Duke Snasa vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "The reason why he chose to be the enemy of His Majesty the Emperor at that time was also out of desperation!"

Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Sweden does not want to be hostile to any country! ”

"Since Sweden does not want to develop hostile relations with any country, I think it is in the interests of the Kingdom of Sweden that Finland should become an independent principality!" Jérôme. Bonaparte seized on the loophole in Duke Spinasa's need and responded to Duke Spina.

"Your Majesty, the people of our country are all looking forward to Finland returning to its embrace!" Duke Snasa vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"What? Aren't you afraid of the hostility of the Russian Empire? "Jérôme. Bonaparte raised an eyebrow and asked Duke Snathsa.

"I'm afraid!" Duke Snatha spoke briefly, and then added: "However, we are more afraid that Finland will not be able to return smoothly!"

No responsible Swede would and would not want to see Finland fall behind! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte asked the Duke of Snatha again: "Then how are you going to resist the malice of the Russian Empire?" ”

Duke Snasa vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said that his father wanted the help of the French Empire and the Kingdom of Britain so that he could stand up to the Russian Empire.

If the French Empire was willing to act as a strong backing for the Kingdom of Sweden, they were willing to give the French Empire the most favored nation treatment for iron ore.
