"Minister Vayan, this is simply a wanton squander of the diplomatic credibility of our French Empire!" Morality. Ruiz lashed out at Wa.

Vaillant was also not a bully, and he was not to be outdone, and replied, "Minister Ruice, you are doing this for the sake of the reputation of your Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and for the benefit of the French Empire!" ”

In the face of the Chancellor Vayan and De. The controversy of the Minister of Ruiz, Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression was particularly impatient.

So, Jérôme. Bonaparte slammed the paper on the table, and Chancellor Vaillant and de Ville. Minister Ruiz stopped.

Seeing that neither of them moved, Jérôme. Bonaparte snorted coldly and asked in a stern tone, "Are you done arguing?" If the quarrel is not over, I can lend you the study room and let you continue to argue!

When is the quarrel over! When, I'll be back!

Then you two should be satisfied! ”

"Your Majesty, you just said that my remarks were too intense! I beg your pardon! "Minister Vayan was sincere in his attitude to Jérôme. Bonaparte apologized.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rude behavior just now!" Morality. Chancellor Ruiz also spoke to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

Jérôme. Bonaparte then raised his head and glanced at De. Ruiz, then glanced at Vayan again.

Then he sighed helplessly and said to them, "I don't understand, the two of you are more than 100 years old combined, and you are also people who have experienced strong winds and waves!"

Why are you so unruly just now, is it because of the too much freedom that this monarch has given you, so you dare to trespass! ”

In the court of the Second Empire, you don't feel the red tape and etiquette of the old dynasty and the strict hierarchy.

So much so that everyone who is invited to the Tuileries Palace can have a feeling like a spring breeze.

Every minister in front of such a court and monarch has some indulgence to a greater or lesser extent.

"Don't dare!" Morality. Chancellor Ruiz and Chancellor Vayan bowed their heads to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"Humph! Can't! It's good if you don't dare "Jérôme. Bonaparte snorted coldly, and then changed the subject, "I asked the two of you to come to the Tuileries Palace because I want you to seek common ground while reserving differences and find a solution together, not to let you accuse each other here!" ”

Morality. Ruiz and Vaillant nodded in understanding.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his gaze to Minister Vayan, "Vayan, since this matter is a suggestion from your War Department, then I would like to hear your opinion!"

How are your military departments going to divide the Kingdom of Morocco! ”

"Your Majesty, after careful discussion by our War Department, I think ......" Vayan said as he looked around, as if he was looking for something.

"Looking for what?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically.

Chancellor Vayan smiled shyly and asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Your Majesty, do you have a map of the Kingdom of Morocco here!" ”

"I don't have this thing here!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said angrily, and then called Basilio and said, "Now you go to the Ministry of War and bring a military map of the Kingdom of Morocco!" ....Remember, move fast! ”

"Yes!"

Basilio listened and quickly left, Jérôme. Bonaparte turned to Chancellor Vayan and De. "Let's sit here and wait a little bit!" ”

Chancellor Vayan and De. The ministers of Ruiz nodded their heads, and Jérôme. Bonaparte got up from the couch, went to his desk, opened the drawer, took out the only remaining box of Havana cigars from the drawer, and returned to the couch.

Jérôme. Bonaparte opened the humidor, took out two cigars, and handed them to De. Ruiz and Vajan.

The two carefully took Jérôme. Bonaparte handed over a cigar, Jérôme. Bonaparte then threw the matchbox he had brought with him on the table, then took out another cigar and sat down on the sofa.

Morality. Ruiz and Chancellor Vayan quickly reached out to get the matchbox on the table. Ruiz grabbed the matchbox first.

He first worked for Jérôme. Bonaparte lit a cigar and then lit it for Chancellor Vayan and himself.

After a while, the room was filled with white smoke, but the smoke from Havana cigars was not too choking compared to traditional cigarettes.

About another 3 or 4 minutes passed, and Jérôme. Bonaparte got up again, this time to the window, and when he opened it, a cold wind blew into the room, blowing away the smoke that filled the room. Bonaparte's slightly dazed mind became extraordinarily sober.

Taking into account the virtue. Ruiz and Vajan are of age (one is close to 50 and the other is in his 50s), standing by the window of Jérôme. Bonaparte turned and asked De. How did Luyce and Vaillants feel, and did they need to close the windows?

Morality. Ruiz and Vaillants shook their heads and said they didn't need to.

Jérôme. Bonaparte turned and returned to the couch, and as he sat down again, a knock rang at the door of Jérôme. Bonaparte's ear.

"Come in!" Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his voice and spoke out the door.

The door slowly opened, and Basilio appeared in Jérôme. Bonaparte's face.

At the same time, in his hand was a military map rolled into a cylinder.

"Your Majesty!" Basilio walked over to the couch and spread the military map on the table.

"Minister Vayan, let's get started!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said a word to Chancellor Vayan.

Minister Vayan nodded, and then pointed to the important town of Tetouan, located in northern Morocco, "Your Majesty, after unanimous discussions between our War Department and the Colonial Ministry, it is believed that France can hand over the territory north of Tetouan, except for Daniel, to the Kingdom of Spain!"

The rest of the territory was annexed to the province of Algeria and was under the direct leadership of the French Imperial Government! ”

Looking at the territory that the Minister of Vayan gestured with his hands, Jerome. The corners of Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly.

If we compare the territory that the Chancellor Vaillán had carved out by hand with the land occupied by the Kingdom of Morocco, it would be found that the territory that the Chancellor Vaillán had given to the Kingdom of Spain was less than one-tenth of the territory of France.

Such a division is not to say that the Spanish side is unacceptable, even if Jérôme. Bonaparte himself could not accept it either.

Where is the division of territory by the Minister of Vayan, this is simply a naked humiliation of the Kingdom of Spain. There are only three cities with relatively large populations in the territory divided by Minister Wayan, namely Tetouan, Ceuta and Tangier.

What's more, the Kingdom of Spain itself occupied the city of Ceuta, which means that the Kingdom of Spain sent more than 20,000 troops to obtain only one Tetouan.

If Prime Minister O'Donnell, the current leader of Spain's military junta, chooses to agree to General Wayan, then he will be the prime minister.

In order to continue the friendship with the Kingdom of Spain, Jérôme. Bonaparte said that he would not let O'Donnell down.

"Minister Vayan, you are simply humiliating the Kingdom of Spain by doing this!" Jérôme. Bonaparte bluntly responded to Chancellor Vayan, "Such a territory is not at all proportional to their investment!" ”

"Your Majesty, this time the battle against the Kingdom of Morocco was completely defeated by the French Empire with its own strength!

By the time our army stormed the palace of Rabat, the army of the Kingdom of Spain had just arrived at the corner of Tetouan! "Chancellor Vayan addressed Jérôme with great eloquence. Bonaparte replied, "I think it is only reasonable to divide Tetouan into them!" ”

"De. What do you think, Ruiz? "Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his gaze to De. Ruiz.

"Your Majesty, I still insist on doing what I agreed upon!

The northern part of Morocco should be handed over to the Kingdom of Spain! "De. Ruiz spoke firmly to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "We must not break the agreement with the Kingdom of Spain!"

Even if it's just a verbal agreement! The territory is gone, and you can get it from somewhere else!

When our diplomatic credibility is gone, we will not be able to move an inch!

Your Majesty, I cannot let the good diplomatic relations which have been so hard won with the Kingdom of Spain be ruined! ”

"Minister Ruiz, you are going to spill the blood of hundreds of French soldiers on a foreign land!" Minister Vayan once again spoke to De. Ruiz critiqued.

This time, Jérôme. Bonaparte reprimanded, "Vayan, discuss a question as if it were a question!"

Don't give me a hat, what is it called spilling the blood of French soldiers on a foreign land!

According to your standards, the Crimean War that I led is also evaluated in your heart! ”

"No, it's not!" Chancellor Vayan shook his head at Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "The Crimean War is actually very different from this war!" ”

"No, what's the difference?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically, "I ceded Poland and part of Finland from the Russian Empire, and gave him to Austria and Sweden!"

For what? ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte paused and continued to himself, "Isn't it so that they may stand with us?"

Why can't we do what we were able to do now again?

……

I have said again and again that we in the French Empire want to make more friends and fewer enemies!

In this way, we can get the support of more countries!

How many times have I said it, going it alone is no longer applicable in this era! ”
