Chapter 759: Turning Old Accounts and Shelving Disputes

Valewsky, who had long expected opposition from the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire, sat calmly in his chair, and the more he was the arbiter, the more he could not go straight to the end.

"Since there is a disagreement on the question of the succession to the Kingdom of Poland, I propose that the question of the Polish monarch be put on hold for the time being! After we have all the other problems settled, we will discuss the choice of the Polish monarch! What do you think? Valewski proposed, in a neutral tone.

As soon as Valewski's words fell, the faces of Count Baul and Count Clarendon showed a look of consternation, they didn't understand what Walewski was doing, Archduke Maximilian was obviously Jérôme. The people chosen by Bonaparte personally, why did Valevsky not take their side!

And Mandol, Gorchakov and Nesherro also showed a little surprise, they also thought that in this matter, France and Austria were on the same front, could it be that there was something else to turn things around!

Of course, the most astonished person was Prince Chartorysky, who was also confused by Valewski's operation.

Could it be that Fa Lanci is going to change his mind again?

"I agree!" Mandolfir immediately agreed with Valewski.

The best outcome of this matter was the abdication of the Polish throne by Archduke Maximilian, and the worst outcome was nothing more than agreeing to the accession of Archduke Maximilian to the throne.

Since Valevsky said that it should be put on hold for the time being, then what reason did they have to disagree?

"I agree!" Ambassador Gorchakov and Nesherrody echoed the same sentence.

Valewski then turned his attention to Sardinia, Sweden, and the Ottoman Empire.

The three foreign ministers also followed Walewski's line of thought and agreed to put it on hold for the time being.

In this way, the question of the choice of the Polish monarch was put on hold for the time being.

Immediately afterwards, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Sweden stood up and explained the historical ties between the Grand Duchy of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden, so he hoped that the Grand Duchy of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden could be reunited.

"Mr. Nesherrody, Mr. Gorchakov, what do you two think?" Valevsky asked about the sightings of Nesherrodi and Gorchakov.

There is no longer a single Russian army in the territory of the current Grand Duchy of Finland, what can the two of them think, and they can only express their willingness to support the reunion of the Kingdom of Sweden with the Grand Duchy of Finland!

However, as the foreign minister of the Golitsyn government, Nesher Rodie, tactfully demanded to Valevsky: in order to prevent a possible conflict between the Swedish kingdom and Russia, the Karelian region would remain in the hands of the Russian Empire.

"What do you think?" Valewski turned his gaze to the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Sweden.

"Absolutely!" The Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Sweden, of course, knew that the Russian Empire could not be forced too much on this issue, and therefore the Karelian region was already retained in the Russian Empire.

Subsequently, Ambassador Gorchakov also made a suggestion: since it was a territorial exchange, should the Kingdom of Sweden also return the Kingdom of Norway to the Kingdom of Denmark, which had been acquired at the Vienna Conference?

As soon as this suggestion came out, the Kingdom of Denmark, sitting in the audience, suddenly felt as if it had been hit by a large gift bag falling from the sky.

Could it be that at the Paris Peace Conference, they (Denmark) were not only able to recover some of the islands occupied by the Russian Empire, but also to regain Norway, which had been lost at the Vienna Conference?

Once Denmark took the Kingdom of Norway, it would be equivalent to firmly locking up the entire Baltic Sea.

In the future, ships traveling to and from the Baltic Sea had to pay taxes to the Kingdom of Denmark before they could pass, and the prosperous life of the Kingdom of Denmark was just around the corner.

Of course, all this depends on what the three countries sitting in the seats think!

In the face of Ambassador Gorchakov's ill-intentioned proposals, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Sweden immediately went to the Kingdom of Prussia in order to gain the support of the Austrian Empire.

The Swedish Foreign Minister then angrily told Ambassador Gorchakov that the Kingdom of Sweden had lost not only Finland, but also Pomerania at the Congress of Vienna.

If the Kingdom of Sweden wants to leave Norway, it will have to get Prussia to return Pomerania.

Mandolfel, who had been hit by the fish in the pond, glanced at the Swedish Foreign Minister with a blank expression, and he did not understand whether the sword of the Kingdom of Prussia was not hard, or whether the Kingdom of Sweden had floated on its own, and the problems between the Kingdom of Sweden and the Russian Empire had actually burned to the heads of their Kingdom of Prussia.

Since the Kingdom of Sweden is willing to settle old accounts, Mandolfil also unceremoniously sets up old accounts.

Mandolfil responded to the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Sweden that the Kingdom of Prussia could return Pomerania, but they wanted to return the territory lost at the Congress of Vienna, namely Prussian Poland, so that the Kingdom of Prussia would naturally return Pomerania.

This decision was immediately opposed by the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Britain.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Saxony rose up and demanded that the Kingdom of Prussia return the Saxon territories they had seized at the Congress of Vienna.

……

Seeing that the situation was getting closer and closer to getting out of control, Valevsky knocked on the table, and the entire hall fell silent in an instant.

After a while, Valevsky said with a serious face: "Everyone, please calm down! Our peace conference is here to discuss peace in Europe, not to leave you with old scores!

If you do it the way you think about it, the whole of Europe will probably undergo another earth-shaking change! ”

Everyone present agreed with Valewski's words in their hearts, and if this trend of turning over old accounts was followed, another war was bound to come.

"As for the ......question of Norway's belonging," Valewski thought for a moment, then turned to the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Sweden and said, "Then the Norwegian citizens make their own decisions, what do you think?" ”

"Yes!" The Minister of the Kingdom of Sweden nodded and replied to Valewski.

Anyway, now that the whole of Norway is in their hands, they can, of course, make a decision in the place of the entire Norwegian citizen!

"What do you think, Mr. Gorchakov?" Valevsky looked at Ambassador Gorchakov.

Ambassador Gorchakov, who originally wanted to muddy the waters, had no choice but to retract his actions after seeing Valevsky himself go down.

"Alright, let's move on to the next question!" Valewski nodded in satisfaction.

……

After nearly five hours of discussion, the meeting was formally adjourned at 7 p.m.

The ministers left the Foreign Office in a horse-drawn carriage, and Valevsky ordered his secretary of state to bind the minutes of today's meeting, and he was to go to the Tuileries Palace to tell Jérôme what had taken place in its entirety. Bonaparte listened.

It took the Foreign Ministry more than half an hour to bind the contents of the minutes of the meeting and then handed them to Valewski.

Valewski took the bound contents and got into a carriage and went to the Tuileries Palace,

When Valewski entered the Tuileries Palace and found Mocal, the head of the Tuileries Palace, Mocal told Valewski that the Emperor was dining in the dining room.

"Then please take me to the study!" Valevsky decided to wait in the study for the end of the emperor's meal.

"Please come with me!" Mocal brought Valewski to Jérôme. Bonaparte's study, then turned away.

After a while, Mokal reappeared in front of Valewski, "Mr. Valewski, Your Majesty invites you to dine with you!" ”

Valewski put the minutes of the meeting on his desk and followed Mocal to the restaurant. Bonaparte, but also Empress Augusta.

At this moment, Valewski's expression became slightly embarrassed, and he felt as if he had become a superfluous figure.

"Valevsky, sit down!" Jérôme. Bonaparte scooped a spoonful of soup and gestured to the empty seat on his left hand hand side to invite Valewski to sit down.

"Yes!" Valewski sat in Jérôme. The position of Bonaparte's left hand.

At the end of a banquet, Valevsky felt a feeling of collapse.

At the end of the feast, Empress Augusta told Jérôme. Bonaparte did not stay up late after returning to his room.

Watching Empress Augusta disappear into the corridors, with her back to Valevsky's Jérôme. With a hint of anger Bonaparte reprimanded: "Valewsky, I need an explanation!" ”

Valevsky immediately realized that Jérôme. Bonaparte already knew what was happening in the hall, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please move to the study!" I explain it to you personally! ”

"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, and followed Valewski to his study.

"Your Majesty, here are the minutes of today's meeting! Please take a look! Valewski respectfully handed over the minutes of the meeting to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. Bonaparte flipped through the pages of the minutes of the meeting, and the rest of the contents except for the question of the Polish monarch were Jérôme. Bonaparte was quite satisfied.

"Valewski!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's tone was a little calmer, "What other opinion do you have on the question of the Polish monarch?" ”

Valewski deferentially told Jérôme. Bonaparte's own judgment, he believed that the question of the Polish monarch involved too many countries, and although the French Empire had appointed Archduke Maximilian as the Kingdom of Poland, it should not directly take sides.

Because the French Empire was now in the position of arbiter, all interests should remain under the veneer of "neutrality".

Therefore, the impetus for the selection of the Polish monarch should be left to the Austrian Empire, which could unite with other countries to put pressure on the Kingdom of Prussia and Russia to abandon the proposal.

In this case, the French Empire could declare the Austrian Empire victorious in the name of the arbiter.
