After hearing Valewski's explanation, Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction and gave the order to Valewski: "Now you go to the embassy in Austria and tell Minister Bauer all that you have said to me, so that he can be fully prepared!" By the way, when is the next meeting? ”

"Your Majesty, there will be a second meeting the day after tomorrow!" Valevsky vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"I see!" Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed his head again, and then urged Vallewski to go to the ambassador to Austria as soon as possible to inform Minister Baul of the details.

Because of Jérôme. Bonaparte himself was not very optimistic about Baul's political sense, and the current Count of Baul was not as good as the late Schwarzenberg, even with the now declining Prince of Metternich.

The reason why such a person was able to serve as foreign minister was not only because the Austrian Empire itself could not produce many good people, but also because of Franz. Joseph himself had a particularly bad eye.

So Jérôme. Bonaparte was somewhat worried that the Comte de Baul would misunderstand the attitude of the French Empire and make some decisions that would be unfavorable to the French Empire and the Austrian Empire.

[PS: The historical Count Bauer was the Count of Bauer who caused the Austrian Empire to fall into unprecedented isolation from 1856 to 1860 because of his stupid foreign policy in the Crimean War.

Moreover, in the Franco-Austrian war of 1860, he did not follow the advice of Prince Metternich and used the power of the foreign secretary to stop Franz. Joseph, which led to a catastrophe. 】

And Valewski, who did not know much about the "glorious history" of Count Bauer, was very interested in Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered himself to go to the embassy in Austria to remind Count Bauer that he felt that it was a bit of a superfluous move, that he was the foreign minister of France, not the nanny of Austria.

Besides, Count Baul must not be foolish to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he must have already recalled his intentions.

Since His Majesty the Emperor insisted that he make a trip himself, Valevsky had no choice but to follow the Emperor's orders.

Just as Valevsky was about to leave, Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly stopped Valewski.

"Your Majesty, what else do you command?" Valewski stopped, turned around and asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"I remember that your son Alexander is now 10 years old!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Wallevsky.

"Yes!" Valewski replied honestly.

"Take him to the Tuileries Palace for a while!" Jérôme. Bonaparte went on to say a word to Valewski.

"Yes!" This time Valewski replied more forcefully, knowing that the future glory and wealth of his son Alexander could be said to be basically nine out of ten, as long as he did not die.

If Alexander has a little ability, then there is no possibility of taking his place!

"That's it! It's not too early, so let's get over it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte waved at Valewski.

Excited, Valevsky left Jérôme. Bonaparte's study, then in a nondescript carriage arrived at the door of the embassy in Austria.

At this time, the embassy in Austria was still brightly lit, and Foreign Minister Baul and the Austrian ambassador to France, Richard Brown. Metternich was sitting on the couch discussing what had happened today.

"You mean to say that the French Foreign Secretary, Valewski, is deliberately making things difficult for us?" As a client, the Earl of Baul frowned at Richard. Metternich asked.

"Your Excellency, I don't think Mr. Valewski is making things difficult! As far as I can see, Valevsky's aim is nothing more than to be a neutral arbiter who will fight against each other with the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire! "Richard. Metternich shook his head and explained to Chancellor Bauer: "After all, as the host of the Paris Peace Conference, the French Empire's position cannot be blindly biased in favor of us!"

Otherwise, they will cause discontent in other countries!

Thus the arbitrator is deprived of due fairness. ”

After listening to Richard. After Metternich's explanation, the Count of Baul immediately realized that Valewski's operation was not the usual trick of Prince Metternich at the beginning.

Hide their own tendencies on the premise of fairness, and then rely on the side of the majority of countries to agree with the oppressors against.

Damn, how did I forget this! Count Bauer thought to himself.

Then he looked at Richard with a "kind" gaze. Metternich said, "Richard...... I can call you that! ”

"It's my pleasure!" Richard. Metternich replied without humility or arrogance.

"Richard! I bet you'll be in this position for you! "The Earl of Bauer complimented Richard. Metternich said: "In you, I seem to see the shadow of Prince Metternich!" ”

"I'm a far cry from my father!" Richard. Metternich modestly responded.

"Don't worry, you still have ten years to grind! No one can reach the sky in one step! "The Earl of Bauer is very interested in Richard. Metternich said.

Decade? Hum!

Richard. Metternich snorted coldly in his heart, he knew that Count Baul was suggesting that he would not compete with him for the position of Foreign Secretary for ten years.

Ten years later, the Foreign Secretary will naturally fall into his hands.

And Richard. How could Metternich wait ten years at the behest of Count Bauer, he had to climb as high as he could while his father was still alive.

Because only in this way can he inherit Prince Metternich's connections and bastards, and once Prince Metternich dies, those connections and connections will be greatly reduced.

Hence the position of Foreign Secretary, Richard. Metternich simply could not have waited ten years to act.

Once he finds his chance, then Richard. Metternich would not hesitate to strike at Count Bauer.

It was him in the same gerem. What Bonaparte learned on the Crimean peninsula.

Now Richard. Metternich must learn to disguise himself so that Count Baul does not feel threatened.

Only in this way could he surprise Count Bauer to death.

Manage Chad. Metternich was dismissive of Count Bauer, but he modestly told Count Bauer that his experience was still shallow, and he needed someone as experienced as Count Bauer to check it!

Just as the Earl of Baul and Richard. When Metternich began to make a hypocritical hype, the servant of the embassy in France approached the Count of Bauer and interrupted the two men's praise to tell them that they had a visit.

The Count of Baul immediately inquired about the origin of the guest!

"The other party is the French Foreign Minister Vallewski.!" The servant replied to Count Bauer.

"Valewski?" The Earl of Bauer and Richard. Metternich had a look of surprise on their faces, and they didn't understand the purpose of Valewski's late-night visit.

After a few seconds, Count Bauer spoke up and said, "Then why don't you bring Minister Valewski over!" ”

"Yes!" The servant hurried to the gate and invited Valevsky into the embassy.

After another moment, Walewski appeared with Count Baul and Richard. In front of Metternich, the two men shook hands with the Count of Bauer and sat down.

"Mr. Walewski, is there anything wrong with visiting late at night?" Count Baul asked Valewski with a solemn face.

"Mr. Bauer, I'm here for this afternoon!" Walewski hastened to explain to Count Baul that his actions this afternoon were not intended to be directed against the Austrian Empire.

"I know!" The Earl of Bauer played with Richard. Mette had just said to him: "We will win the unanimous consent of the other countries, and we will not embarrass France!" ”

"I'm relieved!" Valevsky smiled with relief.

Things have come to this point, and his purpose can be considered to have been achieved.

"Since you've seen it, Mr. Bauer, I'm doing it too much!" Valewski half-jokingly addressed Count Bauer, and then tactfully resigned to Count Bauer.

"Wait a minute!" As the Earl of Bauer spoke, he asked Richard. Metternich winked.

Richard. Metternich immediately understood what Count Baul meant, and he got up and left the drawing-room.

After a while, when Richard. When Metternich reappeared in the living room, he had an extra box in his hand.

Richard. Metternich gave the box to Count Bauer, who in turn gave it to Valewski.

"No, I can't take that!" Valewski reservedly refused the gift of Count Bauer.

"Mr. Valewski, we're friends!" Count Bauer asked Valewski with a smile on his face.

"Of course!" Valewski nodded and said to Count Bauer.

"This is my gift to you as a friend! I hope you don't refuse! Count Bauer shoved the box into Valewski's hand.

"Then I'll take it!" Valewski accepted the gift of Count Bauer.

Anyway, bribery is an unspoken rule in the diplomatic world, and as long as there is no too important information, the vast majority of monarchs will not confiscate this property.

"Thank you very much!" Looking at Valewski, who had accepted the bribe, Count Bauer breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Valewski left the embassy, and in the carriage he opened the gift given to him by Count Bauer.

There was a whole box of gold in the box, which would cost at least 10-200,000 francs if it was sold on the market.

"The Austrian Empire is really generous!" Valewski muttered quietly.

On the rest of the day, Count Baul secretly went to the embassies of all countries, except Prussia and Russia, to discuss the situation.

The vast majority of the countries, having received a bribe from the Count of Bauer, said that they would support the Austrian Empire at the next conference.
