"Forever rid of the troubles?"

Baron Pasquière couldn't help but swallow, revealing a nervous and greedy color.

This undoubtedly means that the Austrian side is about to make a move, which means that the two sides are finally starting to negotiate the price.

Metternich looked at Baron Pasquière, who had not handled his expression well for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh a little, "It's still too tender." ”

"What we mean by this is that we can wipe out the free states that started the war once and for all, and then put them under our custody and educate their people."

Prince Metternich was still very professional in this regard, in short, France and Austria had to liquidate the evil heretics who started the war for the sake of self-defense and more importantly, for the peace of all Europe.

Anyway, he plucked himself cleanly, and Metternich was so eloquent that Baron Pasquière was thrilled when he heard it, as if he were going to save the world.

But a deal is a deal, and Baron Pasquière knew this well, and he quickly detached himself from the emotions he had just had.

For Metternich's tirade speaks only of the Free States, and not of the Orthodox States.

It was impossible to slip through on something of such a big deal, but it was impossible for Baron Pasquière to hold back and ask.

"Your Excellency, those who flaunt the banner of freedom are indeed annoying. However, I think the people of the Orthodox State are also very pitiful, and they also need our two countries to work together to protect and resettle them."

"But they are not at fault, and Swiss Orthodoxy is our ally, and our Austrian Empire will not only not be able to attack our allies, but will also resolutely strike at the evil forces that threaten the way of life of our allies."

Baron Pasquière felt that this was almost the bottom line of the Austrian Empire, but the mere partition of the Free States would not satisfy Louis Philippe's appetite.

Baron Pasquière was well aware of this, though he thought it would be a good result for France to be able to divide the Free States equally with Austria.

But as a close minister of Louis Philippe, Baron Pasquière is not qualified to decide anything for the king, he is just a ruthless machine, he must accurately convey the king's intentions, and he has to take the blame at the critical moment, otherwise he has no value.

"Your Excellency, I think we should consider bringing all of Switzerland under the protection of our two countries.

In consideration of the sentimental factors of your country and the Orthodox League, we in France are willing to cede two cantons, and at the same time will sponsor you five million francs for the restoration of the estate."

Prince Metternich didn't want to continue talking nonsense with this little person, but he was still impressed by the professionalism of the other party.

"First of all, Baron Pasquière, I admire your professionalism, but an ally is an ally, and it is not an emotional factor.

Secondly, you are not qualified to discuss this matter, the Congress of Vienna will be held as scheduled, and most of the monarchies, including our Austria, will participate.

Finally, I wish you a great time in Vienna."

In these cloudy words, Baron Pasquière heard something about it, that is, he was not qualified to be on the chessboard, because Austria did not want to talk about secret treaties, but wanted to hold a European monarchical assembly to solve the matter.

But this is disgusting, because the region with the most monarchs in Europe is Germany. No, probably the most in the whole world

If the Austrian Empire had to hold a vote, then France would have to do it.

Secondly, Austria wanted a formal French mission, preferably in person.

In the end, all his actions were actually under the surveillance of the Austrians. This was not at all surprising to Baron Pasquière, who had a keen sense of smell as a steward who served the king.

At this time, the words have already been spoken, and Baron Pasquière has also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he doesn't have to take the blame, but his master's character is afraid that he will lose his temper and do something that is not in the interests of France.

"Thank you for talking to me so much. I will convey you to the country truthfully. No, the meaning of the Austrian Empire. ”

This time Metternich nodded.

Receiving foreign heads of state is a very troublesome affair, especially with dozens at once

Some of the German monarchs, who were too idle or too bored to stay in their own country, had already arrived in Vienna early to start the ball and shopping mode.

Fortunately, Vienna has been expanded many times, otherwise it would not have been able to withstand such a toss.

However, Franz also saw what it means to be shameless, and these people rely on their monarchy to show off at the ball.

He wondered if these people couldn't eat in China, they could eat several pigs in one meal, and all kinds of snacks were not refused.

Monarchs of small countries usually don't have much pomp and circumstance, and they may not have been enjoyed by wealthy merchants and bankers. For example, the Grand Duke of Liechtenstein brought seven people with his guards and servants, which was not as big as Solomon Rothschild's butler.

But don't underestimate these seven people, they can eat 15 kilograms of meat a day, as well as the same amount of vegetables, as well as 35 liters of beer and an unknown amount of desserts, which is almost in time for the rest of the world.

The monarch of Anhart brought more than 100 relatives and friends to make a big difference, plus more than 300 ministers and servants.

Of the three South German states, only Ludwig I of Bavaria, who was the elder brother of Madame Sophie, did not come, but the relationship between the two was not good.

According to Mrs. Sophie, Ludwig I was the crystallization of her parents' shortcomings, amorous, arrogant, stupid, lazy, and sympathetic

However, it has to be said that Mrs. Sophie's assessment is quite accurate, and Franz often heard the lace news of this uncle even in Vienna.

In particular, rumors about the French dancer Laura Munster have been written into pamphlets and spread everywhere.

In fact, only three parts of Germany have so far failed to respond directly to Austria: Prussia, Hanover, and Bavaria.

In fact, the reason why countries responded so positively was, firstly, that the Austrian Empire itself was strong enough to deter the vast majority of countries.

The second is the influence of the German Customs Union, and the ties of Germany as a whole are deepening.

In the end, the Austrian-led German Confederation had won too many victories, which, combined with the improvement of people's lives, led to a much more turbulent national movement in Germany than it has historically been.

The German nationalists were strengthened by epic intensity, they were already able to kidnap the monarchs of some small countries, and even influence the national policy of medium countries.

The Danish monarch, for example, was forced to attend the Congress of Vienna because officials of the German Confederation deliberately sent invitations to Schleswig-Holstein.

Christian VIII could not have allowed the local Germans to choose their own representatives, and Denmark proposed a crackdown, but he thought about France, who had been beaten twice, and King Leopold I, who had visited Belgium a while before, but gave up on this idea.

"The Germans are already crazy, we are not crazy, so we can't meet them in general."
