Jérôme. Bonaparte in Victor. Accompanied by Manuel II, he briefly met the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Sardinia who attended the banquet, and the dinner officially began in the solemn Kingdom of Sardinia.

Jérôme as the protagonist of the banquet. Bonaparte and Victor. Yin Manuel II walked in the first row of the procession, followed by Victor. The little cubs of the Yin Manuel II family, they are arranged in order of size from left to right, each prince/princess puffs out their chests, and between their eyebrows reveals a repulsive arrogance that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years.

Behind this group of arrogant princes/princesses, Niel, the chief of the general staff of the French Empire, and Ramamor, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia and the marshal of the kingdom, stared at the front, his pace accelerating and decelerating with the front.

As for the other guests who were originally in the Kingdom of Sardinia, some of them followed in the footsteps of Niel and Ramamor, and some were led to other restaurants by the butler of the royal palace of Turin.

After all, there were so many guests arriving at the Royal Palace of Turin today that there were no guests at one table to sit in, and the butler of the Royal Palace of Turin had to carefully classify the guests who came to the Royal Palace of Turin according to their status, and only members who met the standards of title and official position were allowed to share the same position. Bonaparte and Victor. Yin Manuel II sat at the same table.

That's it, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Victor. Yin Manuel II made his way all the way, and finally reached the corridor that led to the main door of the restaurant.

The servants standing on either side of the dining room saw the two monarchs from a distance, and one pulled a doorknob and pulled the door of the dining room to reveal the grand decoration of the dining room and a table facing the door.

When Jérôme. When Bonaparte entered the dining room, he found that the white table could accommodate about 60 people, and the length of the table could be said to be Jérôme. Bonaparte saw the second largest table for the state banquet with the Austrian Empire, and the entire dining room is roughly estimated to be about 1.2 to 1.3 times the size of the Palazzo Douilleri.

"How's this restaurant?" Victor. In a slightly proud tone, Men Manuel II asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"It's huge!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to Victor. Yin Manuel II responded.

Subsequently, in Victor. At the invitation of Yin Manuel II, Jérôme. Bonaparte sat with him on the main seat of the long table, and the rest of the people sat down in turn, according to the name tags placed on the table.

When everyone was seated, the servants in charge of the service entered the dining room in two rows with red wine in their hands, and then dispersed in turn, now behind each guest.

Stand in Jérôme. Bonaparte and Victor. The servants behind Yin Manuel II first opened the mouth of the wine bottle with a corkscrew, and then poured the scarlet wine into Jérôme. Bonaparte and Victor. In Yin Manuel's cup,

The rest of the servants likewise poured wine into the glasses of the guests they served, and when everyone had filled them with red wine, Prime Minister Ramamour preemptively said to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, toast to the friendship between the French Empire and the king of Sardinia!" ”

"Cheers!" Including Victor. Yin Manuel II and Jérôme. Bonaparte, all raised their glasses and toasted.

After a glass of wine, the servant was once again for Jérôme. Bonaparte and others poured wine.

At the same time, another group of servants appeared from outside the dining room and entered the dining room, each of them dragging an aluminum dinner plate with an aluminum lid on top of the plate.

Except for Victor. No one except for Mainuel II knew what was on the plate, so every one of them had no idea what was on the plate.

Under the gaze of everyone, the servants placed a plate on each seat, and then opened the plate uniformly.

The alluring aroma gets into the nose of every guest in Jérôme. Only then did Bonaparte realize that there was a steak drizzled with a black sauce on his plate.

"Everyone, please eat!" Victor. Yin Manuel II gracefully picked up his knife and fork and said a word to everyone present.

Everyone at the banquet picked up their knives and forks and began to cut the steak.

After a while, everyone present had a look of enjoyment on their faces. Yin Manuel II gestured to the servants beside him with his eyes again.

】

The servants hurriedly glanced at the servants who served the dishes, and the servants who served the dishes left the scene in an orderly manner.

Victor. Yin Manuel II turned to ask Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Jérôme, what do you think of this dish?" ”

Just finished enjoying your first delicious jérôme. After Bonaparte took the chewed steak down, he took the folded white silk cloth and gently wiped it around his mouth. Yin Manuel II praised, "Victor, very good! It's been a long time since I've had a delicious meal like this! ”

"If you like it!" Victor. Yin Manuel II smiled with satisfaction.

After a while, the second course was served, Victor. Yin Manuel II also opened the topic.

Victor. Yin Manuel II first addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte was able to arrive at the Royal Palace of Turin to welcome him, and then reaffirmed to everyone present that the friendship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia was unbreakable, and that no one could shake the friendship between the two nations.

Victor. As soon as Yin Manuel II finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.

And Jérôme. Bonaparte also spoke to the audience about the "friendship" between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia.

He told everyone present that although the friendship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia will have certain twists and turns in some cases, the overall tone between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia will not change because of the twists and turns, and the Kingdom of Sardinia is still the friendliest partner of the French Empire.

The crowd was also impressed by Jérôme. Bonaparte's remarks were met with warm applause.

Victor. There was also a hint of relief in the eyes of Yin Manuel II. If Bonaparte can unswervingly support the Savoyin royal family, then the probability of the Savoyin royal family being overthrown is very low.

It's just that Victor. Yin Manuel II also knew that support was not invaluable, and that the two places of Savoy and Nice were Vidocq. Yin Manuel II's chips.

When the two monarchs had finished speaking, the ministers seated at the banquet also spoke, some of them chanting the friendship of France with the Kingdom of Sardinia, and some of them denouncing the barbaric invasion of the Kingdom of Sardinia by the Austrian Empire.

Chatting and chatting, the important ministers of the Kingdom of Sardinia at the banquet began to bombard the barbarism of the Austrian Empire with a unified caliber.

"The Austrian Empire is so bad, that a great power has invaded the Kingdom of Sardinia without an excuse!

If it weren't for His Majesty Jérôme's insistence, the soldiers of the Austrian Empire would not have known what ambassadors to make! As he said this, a Sardinian minister subconsciously glanced at Jérôme, who was seated on the Lord's seat. Bonaparte at the sight of Jérôme. Bonaparte did not show any disgust before continuing.

"Who's to say it isn't!" Another important minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia also continued to criticize the Austrian Empire.

……

Critical voices of the Austrian Empire grew louder over time, and Jérôme. Bonaparte only smiled the whole time, and did not reveal any of his emotions.

In his opinion, Victor. The reason why Yin Manuel II staged such a play was entirely in the hope of using this means to lead the French Empire to stand up and confront the Austrian Empire head-on.

See Jérôme. Bonaparte did not react at all, and after a while, Victor. Yin Manuel II stood up and pretended to say to everyone present, "Everyone, be quiet, we are here for a banquet, not to criticize the assembly!" ”

The crowd present was hearing that Victor. Yin Manuel II's reply came to an abrupt end.

Jérôme. Bonaparte took another sip of wine and replied to the crowd, "I understand your feelings, guys! After all, any patriot can't help but stand up in the face of the complete annexation of his country.

But I would say that blind patriotism is not a good thing, especially when the Kingdom of Sardinia is so far apart from the French Empire.

I think the best way to do this is to start multilateral negotiations and negotiate ways to resolve existing differences!

Of course, the French Empire is not unable to help you defeat the Austrian Empire, but it will not do the Kingdom of Sardinia any good.

The Kingdom of Sardinia has gained the eternal hatred of the Austrian Empire, and the relationship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire will also fall to an irreparable point, which will lead to the destruction of the great power coordination!

If the coordination of the great powers is disrupted, it will do not benefit Europe as a whole.

I can assure, however, that if the demands of the Austrian Empire were really unacceptable, the French Empire would now be on the side of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Since 1815, the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia have been two brotherly countries that support and help each other.

Speaking of which, Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his voice and said to everyone present, "We will not sit idly by and watch the Kingdom of Sardinia be bullied!" ”

The restaurant burst into applause again, and Victor. A look of loss appeared on Yin Manuel II's face.

Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke at length, repeating what he had said before.

As long as the Austrian Empire did not make a real invasion of the Kingdom of Sardinia, then the French Empire would still be able to broker without hesitation.

And the price that Sardinia had to pay for this peace talks was Savoyin and Nice.
