"Jérôme, you just have to do your best!" Victor. Yin Manuel II vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "If Franz . . . If Joseph really doesn't want to give up the investigation, then we are willing to cooperate with them as much as possible.

When the time comes, please ask the French Empire to investigate with the Austrian Empire from an impartial point of view! ”

"Hmm!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to Victor. Yin Manuel II replied with righteous words, "If it really comes to that point, I will definitely give the Kingdom of Sardinia a fair and impartial investigation!" ”

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte took Augusta by the hand and walked onto the dance floor after the elegant music stopped.

Everyone on the dance floor was watching Jérôme. When Bonaparte and Augusta arrived, they made room for them.

As the music began again, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta danced to the music, and the crowd around them began to disperse and dance.

After the end of the song, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta left to the applause of the crowd around them. Yin Manuel II in Jérôme. When Bonaparte returned to his seat, he also gave him a thumbs up and said, "Well jumped!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte responded with a reserved smile on the corner of his mouth, "Thank you!" ”

In the following period of time constantly ladies and gentlemen invited Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta danced.

However, this is all about Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta refused.

After eating a few closed doors in a row, the rest of the members almost stopped inviting the two to dance.

And Victor. Yin Manuel II did not refuse to come, and the whole ball came down, just with Victor. There are already dozens of ladies dancing with Yin Manuel.

So much so that Empress Augusta quietly in Jérôme. Bonaparte whispered in his ear that Victor. Yin Manuel II was truly a monarch who did not scruple himself.

The balls at the Royal Palace of Turin lasted until 11 p.m.

Despite the fact that Victor. The graciousness of Manuel II to retain Jérôme. Bonaparte and Empress Augusta spent the night in the royal palace of Turin, but the two of them still did not agree.

Victor. Yin Manuel II had no choice but to let Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta both left in Victor. Under the farewell of Yin Manuel II, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta left the royal palace of Turin in a carriage under the dark night sky.

When Jérôme. After Bonaparte returned to the hotel, Empress Augusta whispered to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Jérôme, what are you going to do?" ”

"What to do and how?" Jérôme. Bonaparte tilted his head and asked suspiciously.

"It's the treatment of the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Empress Augusta vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte explained.

"Oh! That's what you say! "Jérôme. Bonaparte reacted immediately, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "What else can be done!" Of course, it was to persuade Franz. Joseph should be over sooner!

It's been almost 4 months since Orsini was assassinated, and it's time to end it!

What's more, we've now got what we wanted! ”

"Oh!" Empress Augusta replied with a surging voice.

"What? Are you not satisfied with the results? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Empress Augusta rhetorically.

"Hmm!" Augusta nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "I don't know why, but I always think that the Kingdom of Sardinia will still cooperate with those fellows!" ”

"No need to feel it!" Jérôme. Bonaparte put his hands on his head and said in a slightly comfortable tone, "The Kingdom of Sardinia will definitely cooperate with them, but this time their cooperation may be carried out in secret!" ”

"Then why did you give up the investigation!" Empress Augusta was puzzled by Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Because Victor. Yin Manuel II gave up Savoy Yin and Nice! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Augusta, "If Victor . . . If Yin Manuel II does not give up on Savoy Yin and Nice, then I will definitely choose to pursue it to the end until the extremist forces are completely eradicated.

But now I can't! ”

"Are Savoyin and Nice really that important to you?" Empress Augusta asked rhetorically.

"Savoyin and Nice don't matter to me!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and replied to Augusta, "These two regions are nothing more than a geographical advantage for France to prevent a surprise attack by the countries of the Apennine Peninsula, but a scattered country of the Apennine Peninsula cannot do the slightest harm to France."

But these two regions are of great importance to the whole of France, and I can say unceremoniously that no matter how much we expand on the continent, we will not win the hearts of the French people as much as our expansion in Savoy and Nice, or in Luxembourg.

In the minds of these people, only expansion in Europe can be praised. ”

"But will you do so to arouse the jealousy of the Kingdom of Britain!" Empress Augusta asked worriedly.

"Augusta, there are two sides to everything! The expansion of France must be accompanied by the fear of other countries! "Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed and replied to Augusta, because he was reluctant to annex Savoyin and Nice from the beginning, and in addition to his reluctance to help the Sardinians, another reason was that he did not want to arouse the jealousy of the Kingdom of Britain.

However, as the conditions on the part of the Kingdom of Sardinia changed from helping to unify to maintaining Sardinia from being completely annexed, Jérôme. Bonaparte, after weighing the pros and cons, had to bite the bullet and take down Savoyin and Nice.

After all, no matter how hostile the Kingdom of Britain is, it will not think of using an army to invade France, but the relationship between the two sides is a little worse, and the two territories of Savoyin and Nice have actually entered Jérôme. Bonaparte's pocket.

Moreover, the relationship between the Kingdom of Britain and the French Empire is not without the possibility of repair.

State-to-state relations are not eternal.

If, one day in the future, Alexander II stepped up his offensive in Central Asia, relations between Britain and France could be restored.

Thinking of this, Jérôme. It occurred to Bonaparte that the Duke of Golitsyn did not seem to have replied to him whether he had spared Alexander II's family.

So, Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Empress Augusta: "Did you receive any news from the Russian Empire before you came?" ”

"Which Russian Empire?" Empress Augusta asked rhetorically.

"Two Russian empires!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Empress Augusta.

Augusta shook his head at Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "No! ”

"It seems that Duke Golitsyn is unwilling to let go of Alexander II's family for the time being!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed.

"Then ......," said Empress Augusta, frowning, "do you think Golitsyn will send someone to kill them all before he fails!" ”

The words of Empress Augusta Jean Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but think of Soviet Russia a few decades later, when the then unstable Soviet regime secretly murdered Nicholas II's entire family.

"Probably not!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Empress Augusta in an uncertain tone, "Duke Golitsyn is a nobleman after all, and if he directly kills the Tsar's entire family, I am afraid that no country in this world can tolerate him!"

I suppose that Duke Golitsyn will let the Tsar's family go when he is about to fail.

Or that the nobles in the Golitsyn regime who wanted to survive would secretly spare the entire Tsar's family in order to ask for forgiveness from Alexander II! ”

"That's right! Let's hope so! Empress Augusta's eyes also flashed with sadness.

"That's it! Don't talk about that! It's time for us to sleep! "Jérôme. Bonaparte yawned, then began to take off all his clothes.

"Hmmm! Let's sleep! Augusta didn't think about it, she climbed into bed and began to rest.

After a while, Jérôme. The lights in Bonaparte's room went out.

From time to time in the dark night, there was a soft moan like a yellow warbler.

Over the course of the following day, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta visited the residences of Count Cavour and Prime Minister Ramamour respectively.

Cavour and Ramamour also sent their respects to Jérôme. Bonaparte expressed the hope that Jérôme. Bonaparte was able to convince Franz. Emperor Joseph's investigation of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Jérôme. Bonaparte agreed to them one by one, and at the same time tactfully asked Cavour when he would fulfill the terms he had agreed in Paris.

In the face of "debt collection" Jérôme. Bonaparte, Cavour had no choice but to ask Jérôme. Bonaparte once again assured that as long as the Kingdom of Sardinia was able to fully survive the crisis, then Savoyin and Nice would be annexed to the territory of the French Empire.

"No, Mr. Cavour, these two lands are not forcibly annexed!" Jérôme. Bonaparte "corrected" with a serious expression, "Instead, we respect the choice of the people of the two places, and are willing to use the means of a referendum to let them freely choose whether to join France or stay in Sardinia!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte said it solemnly, but Count Cavour's heart was full of disdain, and in his view the so-called referendum was nothing more than a means of whitewashing forcible annexation.

For the time being, Cavour could only say against his will that if the people of Savoyin and Nice heard about Jérôme. If Bonaparte was willing to respect their wishes, he would have wept with joy.

Jérôme. Bonaparte left Cavour's mansion contented.

The time soon came to the third day, and in Victor. Under the farewell of Yin Manuel II and a group of Sardinian ministers, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta left Turin.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
