"Your Excellency, you will be embarrassed for me! I can't hold down the Austrian Empire with one hand and the neck of the Kingdom of Sardinia with the other, and force them to live in peace! "Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately pretended to be helpless, and spread his hands and said to Ambassador Kauts, "Not to mention, the Austrian Empire itself is only dissatisfied with the joint investigation proposed by the Kingdom of Sardinia, and it is better not to push them too much until they have made a complete act of aggression."

Ambassador Kauts, we cannot afford to push a great power into a corner.

The Austrian Empire was different from the Russian Empire before it, and if we went to war with them, it was likely that our soldiers would suffer heavy casualties.

If it's not good, we'll have to be hostile to the entire German Confederation!

At that time, the whole of Central Europe will be in chaos!

Such a result is not at all good for Britain, France and Austria! ”

Jérôme. After Bonaparte's series of words, Ambassador Kaates nodded subconsciously, and the British cabinet was also based on such considerations, so it was inconclusive.

And Prince Albert did not expect to impress Jérôme with his words. Bonaparte, let him lead the French army to fight Austria for peace in Europe, he just wanted Jérôme to fight for peace. Bonaparte advised the son of Furson (Franz. Joseph), let him be a little more restrained.

"Your Majesty, of course we understand that we can't force a great power too much, but we only hope that the Austrian Empire will be a little more restrained!" Ambassador Kautz expressed his gratitude to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "All of Europe belongs to you and Franz. His Majesty Joseph has the best relations, so we hope that you, as a friend and brother, will be of great interest to Franz. His Majesty Joseph's Message! ”

"Mr. Ambassador Kauts, you are so hard for me!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spread his hands and said to Ambassador Kauts, "How can I persuade Franz. Joseph, he belongs to the kind of person who never gives up until the last moment!

It was only natural that they could do so, and that the Austrian Empire was ready to cross the border and teach the Kingdom of Sardinia a lesson.

Think about what choices you would make if you sat in his place! ”

Ambassador Kautz thought about it and he found that if he sat in Franz. In Joseph's position, he also did not choose to take the troops home easily.

Now the whole empire is watching the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Austrian Empire must not back down at this time.

Otherwise, Franz. Joseph's prestige will be dealt a severe blow.

"Your Majesty, is there no other way?" Ambassador Kautz expressed his gratitude to Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"Of course!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied unhurriedly to Ambassador Kauts, "I just said that Franz . . . Joseph is a man who will not die until the last moment, so we only need to make the same move as the Austrian Empire. Joseph flinched.

It was indeed a shame to retreat from the contest with the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

If the Austrian Empire had been against the armies of Britain and France, then their retreat would have been a matter of reason. ”

Ambassador Kaates was stunned for a moment, then asked softly, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" ”

Jérôme. There was a hint of doubt in Bonaparte's eyes, and he did not believe that Ambassador Kautes did not understand what he was trying to say.

Since Ambassador Kaates pretended to be deaf and dumb, Jérôme. Bonaparte spread it out and said, "I mean very simply, then our two nations will form a united army and enter the Kingdom of Sardinia!"

In this case, the Austrian Empire would not dare to attack the Kingdom of Sardinia easily! ”

"Your Majesty, you may provoke a war like this!" Ambassador Kautz asked Jerom with a solemn face. Bonaparte said.

"To my side of Franz. Joseph understood, he would definitely not provoke a war easily! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Ambassador Kautz in a firm tone, "For the Austrian Empire, the cost of provoking war is also great!"

As long as our two countries declare their purpose in advance before entering the Kingdom of Sardinia, then the Austrian Empire will not dare to act lightly. ”

"However, our cabinet is not ready to send troops!" Ambassador Kautz once again expressed his gratitude to Jérôme. Bonaparte raised difficulties.

"There's no way around it!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and responded to Ambassador Kauts with a pretended helpless expression, "Just two words of shouting will not constitute an effective deterrent to the Austrian Empire!" ”

Ambassador Kautz fell silent, and after a while did he tentatively ask Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Your Majesty, I think that the power of the French Empire alone should be able to form a deterrent to the Austrian Empire!" ”

It's done! Jérôme. Bonaparte shouted in his heart.

So, Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Ambassador Coates with a pretentious face, "Mr. Ambassador, you are pushing the French Empire into the fire pit!" ”

"Your Majesty, why am I pushing you into the fire pit!" Ambassador Kautz expressed his gratitude to Jérôme. Bonaparte retorted, "The Kingdom of Sardinia is concerned with the security of your borders, and I don't think you want the Austrian Empire's troops to reach the French border directly!" ”

"What!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is it true that the Austrian Empire is ready to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia?" ”

"I can't rule out the possibility, Your Majesty!" Ambassador Kautz expressed his gratitude to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "According to the news from our Vienna embassy, Franz. Emperor Joseph has been discussing with us about the Kingdom of Sardinia lately!

He believes that the original treaty (the treaty of 1815) no longer applies to the present and that the Kingdom of Sardinia should be punished! ”

Good brothers! Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but feel sorry for Franz. Joseph gave a thumbs up.

The more the Austrian Empire oppressed the Kingdom of Sardinia, the more justified the French Empire was to enter the Kingdom of Sardinia.

"This does not mean that the Austrian Empire wants to annex the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Ambassador Kauts, "Moreover, the annexation of a country like the Kingdom of Sardinia also requires a certain legal basis!"

The Austrian Empire should not have made such a destructive move! ”

"Your Majesty!" Kauts used a slightly resentful tone to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Since your uncle Emperor Napoleon trampled on the order of the whole of Europe, where is there any legal reason in Europe today!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's face was embarrassed by the fact that Emperor Napoleon had wreaked havoc on the jurisprudence of Europe, creating the current situation where fist power is the last word.

"This ...... The Austrian Empire probably wouldn't have done that! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said "with a weak heart".

"Your Majesty, we must prevent the Austrian Empire from maliciously annexing territory!" Ambassador Kautz righteously addressed Jérôme Brown. Bonaparte responded, "The order of Europe must be guarded by the two of us!" ”

"Then we must also consider the attitude of the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke slowly in response to Ambassador Kauts.

"Don't worry!" Ambassador Kaates confidently expressed his gratitude to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded, "The Kingdom of Sardinia will agree!" ”

"If the Kingdom of Sardinia really wants to, then the French Empire is willing to take on this responsibility!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Ambassador Kauts.

"Your Majesty, I will have a good exchange with the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Ambassador Kautz volunteered to give a message to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"Then it's trouble!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled hypocritically and thanked Ambassador Kauts.

After Ambassador Kautz left, Jérôme. Bonaparte issued another order to the Ministry of the Interior to secretly spy on Ambassador Kauts, and at the same time sent men to threaten Cavour.

If Cavour dared to tell Ambassador Kautz about Savoyin and Nice, the French Empire would give up aid to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The Kingdom of Sardinia alone endured the "love" from the Austrian Empire.

Cavour hurriedly stated that he would obey the order and not reveal a word to the Kingdom of Britain.

……

Over the next few days, the Ministry of the Interior sent a letter to Jérôme. Bonaparte reported on the whereabouts of Ambassador Kautz.

"Your Majesty, Ambassador Kaates has been going to the Embassy of Sardinia for several days in a row!" Pesini vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Do you know what they were talking about?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically.

Pessini shook his head at Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "It is not yet known what they are discussing!" ”

"That's it! You go back first! "Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand and ordered Pessini to leave.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ambassador Kautz arrived again at the Douilleri Palace, where he excitedly told Jérôme Brown. Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Sardinia has acceded to the request of the French Empire to enter the Kingdom of Sardinia!" ”

"I'm sorry for your trouble!" Jérôme. A smile tugged at the corner of Bonaparte's mouth and thanked Ambassador Kauts.

Ambassador Kauts, who didn't know that he was being teased by the monarch in front of him, was complacent about his actions, "Your Majesty, these are what I should do!" ”

Ambassador Kautes then left the Palazzo Douilleury with joy.

Another day passed, and the Kingdom of Sardinia formally proposed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the French Empire: in view of the threat of war from the Austrian Empire to the French Empire, the French army was specially invited to enter the Kingdom of Sardinia to mediate the conflict.

Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately summoned the Chief of the General Staff, Niel, and said to him, "Chief of Staff Niel, I order you to send the Alpine Front into the Kingdom of Sardinia at once!" ”
