Chapter 914: Britain's Choice
After reading the letter written by the Governor of Algeria to Jérôme. After Bonaparte's letter, Ambassador Cauley suddenly felt an inexplicable dizziness, and at this moment he really did not know how he should tell Jérôme . Emperor Bonaparte explained.
He couldn't tell Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte, everything is caused by the Kingdom of Morocco itself, and it has nothing to do with Britain!
Although it is true that the contents of the letter were the result of the Kingdom of Morocco's willful acts, it should be said that they did not rely on the power of Britain to do anything wrong.
Don't say it's Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte would not believe it, not even Ambassador Cauley himself.
To make matters worse, Britain now has to ask for France.
This operation of the Kingdom of Morocco is simply pouring cold water on Anglo-French relations.
Thinking of this, Ambassador Cauley longed to send Abdou of the Kingdom of Morocco. Sultan Rahman was beaten severely.
You say you have nothing to do with France!
Just as Ambassador Cowley pondered how to convey his message to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained that these really had nothing to do with Britain when Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke again to Ambassador Cauley: "Mr. Ambassador, since you said that the Kingdom of Britain was not involved in any of these things, I would like to ask you a question!" ”
"Your Majesty, you say!" Ambassador Cowley replied busily.
"If France is determined to punish the Kingdom of Morocco, will the Kingdom of Britain declare war on us in accordance with the agreement you have signed with the Kingdom of Morocco?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Ambassador Cowley in a solemn tone.
Ambassador Cauley instantly understood that Jérôme. All the foreshadowing before Emperor Bonaparte was all for this sentence.
Ambassador Caughley was now faced with two options, the first was to maintain asylum in the Kingdom of Morocco, so that Britain would have to sail from mainland to the Cape of Good Hope, and then train at the Cape of Good Hope for a period of time before going to India.
This method takes a lot of time and money!
At the same time, the relationship between Britain and France may have twists and turns.
The second is to renounce the asylum of the Kingdom of Morocco and agree to Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte made a move against the Kingdom of Morocco in exchange for faster travel to the Cape of Good Hope.
After all, it takes faster to reach the Cape of Good Hope from the Mediterranean.
In this case, Britain would most likely lose its interests in the Kingdom of Morocco.
It is very likely that the French Empire will completely occupy the Kingdom of Morocco as it did with Algeria.
Once the French Empire occupies the Kingdom of Morocco, the privileges of the Kingdom of Britain in the Kingdom of Morocco will be abolished.
The Kingdom of Morocco, which was under the control of the French Empire, would not allow the existence of British privileges.
After briefly weighing the pros and cons of both, Ambassador Cauley spoke to Jérôme Murphy. Bonaparte responded: "Your Majesty, Britain has not entered into any agreement of military alliance with the Kingdom of Morocco, and there is only a trade agreement between us and the Kingdom of Morocco!"
What the French Empire wants to do to the Kingdom of Morocco is the freedom of the French Empire!
As long as the French Empire can act in a way that protects the interests of our country's merchants in the Kingdom of Morocco! ”
In the end, Ambassador Caughley chose to protect India's interests, even if Britain risked losing its interests in the Kingdom of Morocco and some control of the Mediterranean.
India was fundamental to the Kingdom of Britain, with which Britain conducted a large part of its trade, and the advantages of low tariffs on textiles from Britain were transmitted to India, which brought down the textile industry in India.
As a result, the whole of India was flooded with products from Britain, and Britain relied on colonies to plunder money from India several times more than other colonies.
The loss of the Kingdom of Britain in India is the loss of a cow that can produce milk at any time.
Although it will not cause the Kingdom of Britain to die immediately, it will also make the Kingdom of Britain suffer greatly.
Mediterranean hegemony is nothing compared to global hegemony.
"I can assure you that when the French Empire launches a punitive operation against the Kingdom of Morocco, it will try to avoid affecting the merchants of the Kingdom of Britain!" Since Ambassador Cauley chose to acquiesce in the sale of the French Empire to the Kingdom of Morocco, Jérôme Brown. Bonaparte naturally reciprocated the favor and preached the road.
"And! We hope that after the French Empire has punished the Kingdom of Morocco, it will be possible to demilitarize the northern part of the Kingdom of Morocco, especially near the Strait of Gibraltar!
This will effectively avoid some unnecessary conflicts! Ambassador Cowley once again tactfully addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte made a "suggestion".
Jérôme. Bonaparte naturally understood what Ambassador Cauley meant by "unnecessary conflict".
He was nothing more than the French deployment of warships in northern Morocco, so that the British army in Gibraltar would be in a dangerous situation.
Although there is no war between Britain and France, it is always necessary to prevent it.
"Don't worry! There will be a proper way to deal with it in the north of the Kingdom of Morocco! "Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and replied to Ambassador Cauley, "After all, I myself don't want to see a conflict!" ”
"That's great!
Ambassador Cowley smiled and replied.
After the deal was reached, Jérôme. Bonaparte eagerly asked Ambassador Cowley how many men Britain was prepared to send across France!
Ambassador Cowley told Jérôme. Bonaparte, they were ready to send troops across the territory of France in early July to the Cape of Good Hope.
Hope Jérôme. Bonaparte was able to provide them as much as possible with the logistics of their trip to Marseille!
"Don't worry!" Jérôme. Bonaparte patted his chest and said to Ambassador Cauley: "We will certainly ensure your logistics as much as possible!" ”
"Thank you very much!" Ambassador Cauley once again extended his message to Jérôme. Bonaparte expressed his gratitude.
Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. After a few more moments of conversation between Bonaparte and Ambassador Cauley, Ambassador Cauley departed.
Now the windowsill looked at the figure of Ambassador Cowley leaving in a carriage. Bonaparte's expression became solemn.
So he called Basilio again and ordered him to send the Minister of State to the Minister of State, the Minister of State, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, De. Lüyins, the Minister of War Wayan, and the Chief of the General Staff Niel all called over.
This lineup is simply a miniature version of the Imperial Council.
Hearing the list of names, Basilio immediately realized that Jérôme. Bonaparte was about to make a big move, and he hurriedly responded with "obedience" and left the study.
Shortly after Basilio left, Jérôme. Bonaparte likewise left the study.
Then under the leadership of the servants of the palace of Doyinlery, Jérôme. Bonaparte arrived in a room dedicated to meetings at the Palazzo Tuinleries.
Sitting at the round table, he quietly waited for the ministers to arrive with his eyes closed, and after twenty minutes, the first "guest" appeared.
He was the Minister of State, François. Quizuo, as a diplomatic "master" on a "par" with Metternich.
Of course, the same name here is only because the two of them are equally famous as villains in the communist manifesto.
Juxtaposing Metternich with Kizo is not appropriate!
The former was a brilliant foreign minister of the Napoleonic era and the chief architect of the Austrian imperial polity in the post-Napoleonic era, while the latter was nothing more than a foreign minister of more outstanding ability.
The reason why Ji Zuo was able to stand out was not only by his personal ability, but also by his ideas.
The left demanded that the monarch should be involved in politics and not just rule without rule.
Such a view is simply two extremes compared to Thiers.
During the time of Thiers' premiership, King Louis Brown. Philippe's presence was largely overshadowed by Thiers, which made Louis. Philip felt uncomfortable.
After all, Louis. Philip himself was a monarch with a modicum of ambition.
As a result, Guizo was able to serve as prime minister of the Kingdom of Orleans.
Of course, although Kizuo's achievements in the diplomatic field are not as good as Metternich, he is also above average among diplomats.
And his ability in the field of education is much stronger than that of diplomacy.
"Your Majesty!" Enter the room on the left to see Jérôme. After Bonaparte, hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, bowing.
"Minister Kizuo, come on!" Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and then stretched out his right hand to Gizo and invited, "Sit next to me!" ”
Kizo walked slowly to Jérôme. After sitting down in front of Bonaparte.
After a while, the Foreign Secretary, De. Luyns appeared in the room meeting, and when he entered the room, he joined Jérôme in turn. Bonaparte said hello to Guizo.
"Sit down!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed to the position of the left hand towards Germany. Lu Yinsi said.
Morality. Luynes sat in Jérôme. The first position on the left-hand side of Bonaparte.
Immediately afterwards, the Minister of War, Vajan, and the Chief of the General Staff, Niel, came to a joint decision. Bonaparte sat them both opposite him.
When everyone had arrived, Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his mouth to tell everyone present what he had said about his previous conversation with Ambassador Cauley, and then asked them what they thought.
Secretary of State Guizuo was the first to analyze, "Judging from the fact that Ambassador Cauley gave up the Kingdom of Morocco in exchange for the right of passage and the support of France, the Minister concluded that the situation of the Kingdom of Britain in India is probably not very clear!"
However, Britain has a good chance of suppressing the Indian rebellion!
”
Sitting on the sidelines of De. Luys also agreed with Secretary of State Kezuo's view, and he also did not believe that Britain would lose India as a place of great importance.
It's just that the suppression of the rebellion may take a long time. In the position he was in now, he certainly hoped that India would become a second Spain (referring to Napoleon's expedition to Spain).
Since India is destined to be suppressed, then the German . Lu Yinsi thinks that there is no need to think about it,
So, de. Lu Yinsi opened his mouth to ask about the question of the Kingdom of Morocco: "Your Majesty, the agreement between Ambassador Cauley and you should be only a verbal agreement, right?" ”
"This kind of thing, how can it be written down in black and white!"
