After beating Cavour Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to devote himself to the study-bedroom-dining room, the three-point life, during which many foreign ministers wanted to see Jérôme. Bonaparte, all by Jérôme. Bonaparte sent Mocal to block the door.

The Foreign Secretary, who had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with Walewski, gradually shifted the place of decision-making in foreign affairs from the Tuileries Palace back to the Foreign Office.

As Foreign Minister, Valewski became the busiest man during this period, not only consulting with foreign ministers at work, but also presenting the results of the deliberations to Jérôme after work. Bonaparte reported.

A week passed quickly, and the third Paris Peace Conference was once again opened.

The Foreign Secretaries who participated in the meeting arrived at the Foreign Office in a horse-drawn carriage, as they had done on the previous two occasions, but when they entered the hall and saw the names on the round table, they were surprised to find that Valewski, who had been in the middle, was sitting on the left side this time.

At the same time, there is an extra chair under the portrait!

Just when everyone was surprised, Walewski appeared in front of them, and this time he was also about 10 minutes earlier than the last two times.

"Sit down, everybody!" Valewski greeted everyone present.

"Your Excellency Valewski, shall we start now?" Earl Clarendon asked.

"No!" Walewski shook his head and said, "This time, it's still 2 o'clock!" ”

With that, Valewski sat down on the nameplate with his name on it.

Everyone also sat in their respective places, and time flew by in silent waiting.

When the floor clock in the hall struck twice dullly, the door to the ambassador hall slowly opened, and everyone in the hall turned their eyes to the hall door.

At the door of the hall, they saw Jérôme in military uniform. Bonaparte was walking slowly into the hall, and behind him were Marshal Perissier, Marshal Conrobert and Marshal Boques, who had made their mark on the battlefields of the Crimea, General Nière, acting chief of the General Staff of France, and General Vajan, the emperor's aide-de-camp.

Such an all-star lineup made the foreign ministers in the hall feel an inexplicable panic, they did not understand that Jérôme. What exactly did Bonaparte want to do.

"Ministers, don't panic!" Jérôme. Bonaparte, as if he had seen what was in their hearts, smiled kindly, raised his hand and said to the people present, "I have come with only one pair of ears like you this time!" ”

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte sat down in the chair that had been prepared.

"Valewski, you can get started!"

With Jérôme. At Bonaparte's command, Valewski began the third and final Paris Peace Conference.

Valewski first summarized the conditions drawn up by the countries in the first two sessions (in fact, not much different from the treaties drawn up by France and the Russian Empire), and then asked the foreign ministers present if there were any conditions that needed to be added or wanted to be abolished.

Maybe it's because of Jérôme. In the presence of Bonaparte, the foreign ministers of the countries did not make additions, only Gorchakov raised objections on the question of the autonomy of Bessarabia.

In the face of Gorchakov's opposition, Valevsky did not speak, but turned his gaze to Zherom. Bonaparte.

Although the person who said from the emperor's mouth only came with ears, who dared to take it seriously.

Seeing that Valewski handed over the right to speak to him, Jérôme. Bonaparte pondered for a moment, and then said to Ambassador Gorchakov: "I have an immature opinion here, I wonder if Mr. Gorchakov is interested in hearing it!" ”

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Ambassador Gorchakov hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"First of all, Bessarabia is still under Russian rule, and this will not change, I don't think you should have any objections!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked the people present.

"No comment!"

"No comment!"

……

Everyone, including the Count of Clarendon, said they had no opinion, and then Jérôme. Bonaparte then said to Ambassador Gorchakov: "However, in order to ease the possible conflict between the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire, Bessarabia cannot have troops stationed in it!" There should be no objection to this condition! ”

"Nope!" Ambassador Gorchakov echoed the same sentence.

Seeing that there was no objection from both sides, Jérôme. Bonaparte gave his "suggestion" and, of course, the ruling.

The Russian Empire still ruled Bessarabia, and could appoint government officials, police, and gendarmes in Bessarabia, but not garrisons in Bessarabia.

It is equivalent to the demilitarization of the entire province of Bessarabia.

"What do you think of my suggestion?" Jérôme. Bonaparte was present for all the people.

The crowd at the scene unanimously said that Jérôme. There is no problem with Bonaparte's proposal.

Then, Jérôme. Once again, Bonaparte handed over the voice to Valewski.

Valevsky once again summed up, and this time Gorchakov did not raise objections either.

The last session of the Paris Peace Conference took less than two hours and ended with a solemn proclamation by Wallewski.

"Don't go, everybody! Let's take a group photo! "Jérôme. Bonaparte then addressed the crowd.

So in Jérôme. At Bonaparte's suggestion, the foreign secretary present had no choice but to stop his departure and accompany Jérôme. Bonaparte took a picture.

After the photo shoot was over, Jérôme. Bonaparte invited everyone present to the dinner.

The foreign ministers agreed to Jérôme. At Bonaparte's invitation, the time for the dinner was set at 8 p.m.

5 p.m., Jérôme. Bonaparte left the Foreign Office with the Chancellor.

In the evening, a grand banquet was held at the Tuileries Palace.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta warmly shook hands with each of the foreign ministers.

During a conversation with the Austrian Foreign Minister, Count Bauer, Jérôme. Bonaparte remembered what he had promised Cavour.

So, Jérôme. Bonaparte called Count Baul aside and asked him whether the Austrian Empire had made some concessions on the question of Lombardy.

"Your Majesty, which concession do you mean?" Count Bauer vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"Can the Austrian Empire hand over Lombardy to the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked bluntly.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will be difficult!" Count Bauer tactfully addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Lombardy and Venice are a sacred and inseparable part of the Austrian Empire......"

"Come on!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied disdainfully, "Lombardy is what you have bought through the Kingdom of Belgium, and there is nothing sacred and indivisible!" After all, you're just not seeing a rabbit and not a hawk! ”

"Your Majesty!" Count Bauer replied helplessly.

"So be it! What do you think of Silesia? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Count Bauer again.

Could it be ......

Count Baul swallowed subconsciously, and then dryly reheated Rohm. Bonaparte replied: "Silesia is good, but it is now the territory of Prussia!" ”

"What happened to the territory of Prussia? Couldn't the territory of Prussia be taken back? "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Count Bauer: "I think that Silesia was originally the territory of the Austrian Empire!" The Austrian Empire deserves to take back its own territory! ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to make a move against the Kingdom of Prussia?" Count Baul swallowed again and asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"There's no plan for that yet!" Jérôme. "But if I don't rule it out, I just want to ask you, Count Bauer, would you like to take back the lost Silesia!" ”

"I ......" Count Bauer hesitated for a moment, then nodded with determination, "Of course I do!" ”

"That's enough!" Jérôme. Bonaparte clapped his hands and said a word to the Count of Ball.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Prussia is a member of the German Confederation!" Count Baul reminded Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"What happened to a member of the German Confederation?" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Count Baul: "You will not announce the re-formation of the German Confederation and then kick Prussia out of the Confederation!" ”

"This ......" Count Bauer never thought of reorganizing the German Confederation.

"If you think about it, the reason why the German Confederation was rebuilt in the first place was mainly to guard against us in France! Now that our two countries are so good that they are about to wear a pair of pants, what is the use of keeping the current German Confederation? "Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to ask Count Bauer, "And now that the whole of Germany has been bound together by the Kingdom of Prussia using the Customs Union, as long as the Customs Union exists, the German vassal states will move closer to Prussia day by day, and the influence of the Austrian Empire on Germany will be lower and lower!"

Only by completely abolishing the German Confederation and the German Customs Union could the Austrian Empire regain its leadership in Germany! ”

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this??" The Count of Baul asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Monsieur Bauer, I don't want a Prussian Germany to be around me!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the Comte de Baul with a serious expression, "Its existence will be a fierce rival of France!"

Of course, my main purpose is to leave France with enough strategic depth! After Austria's victory over Prussia, be able to facilitate Rhineland France! ”
