Jerome Bonaparte shook his head, and replied firmly to Ambassador Kauts, "I don't know where your country got such outrageous information, but I can assure you that Savoyon and Nice are not It was proposed by the French Empire.

We did not coerce the Kingdom of Sardinia to demand that they hand over Savoyon and Nice to us! "

After listening to Jérôme Bonaparte's words, Ambassador Kauts had a trace of suspicion in his eyes. He didn't believe what Jérôme Bonaparte had just said.

Jerome Bonaparte had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, and then said to Ambassador Kauts, "If the Kingdom of Britain really doesn't want to believe it, then we have no other choice.

However, I still hope that between the Kingdom of Britain and the Austrian Empire, the relationship between our two countries will not be damaged because of this trivial matter. "

"It's such a small matter?" Ambassador Kauts looked at Jerome Bonaparte in disbelief and said, "Your Majesty, it's not a coincidence that Savoyon and Nice were annexed by the French Empire for such unreasonable reasons. A little thing!"

"Mr. Ambassador, Savoyon and Nice are indispensable barriers for the French Empire to maintain the security of the southeastern border. The French Empire must maintain its geographical advantage in the southeastern border!" Jerome Bonaparte once again told Ambassador Kauts Say something.

"Your country's geographical advantages can only be established at the expense of the interests of other countries!" Ambassador Kautz retorted to Jerome Bonaparte, "I remember that your country has always opposed this kind of damage to the interests of other countries. premise, then why did your country become so irrational on the issue of Savoyon and Nice!"

"Mr. Kautz, we have not harmed the interests of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Everything is a voluntary act of the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Jerome Bonaparte brazenly replied to Ambassador Kautz, and then his tone was tough He went on to say, "And our annexation this time also passed the referendum of all the residents of Savoyon and Nice territory, and the residents of the two places voluntarily joined the French Empire.

That is to say, after the successful referendum, Savoyon and Nice have become an inseparable part of France.

No country or region can separate us anymore, and any external force that wants to separate us will inevitably receive hostility from all the people of the French Empire! "

Jerome Bonaparte's uncompromising attitude made Ambassador Kauts fall into silence. He knew that under such circumstances, it would be impossible to persuade the French Empire to give up Savoyon and Nice.

Unless Jerome Bonaparte is willing to stand up to the pressure of all Paris and even the people of France and declare Savoyon and Nice to be independent again, this will definitely be a blow to Jerome Bonaparte's reputation.

Therefore, Ambassador Kauts concluded that Jerome Bonaparte would rather go to war with the British Kingdom at the moment Jerome Bonaparte spoke, and would not hold back on this issue.

Don't look at Ambassador Kautz's threat to Basilio just now, but if he really wanted to make him threaten war in front of Jerome Bonaparte, Ambassador Kautz would not dare to do so either.

Because the Kingdom of Britain was not at all psychologically prepared for the Kingdom of Sardinia to fight with the French Empire and even the Austrian Empire.

Thinking of this, Ambassador Kauts couldn't help softening his attitude towards Jerome Bonaparte, "I know that giving up Savoyon and Nice is not an acceptable thing for your country, so we won't Make it difficult for your country."

After listening to Ambassador Kauts' words, Jérôme Bonaparte also smiled, and his tone also became kind, "Thanks for the understanding of the Kingdom of Britain! Regional powers will definitely express their understanding of the actions of the French Empire.

Just as your country must ensure safety at sea, our country must also ensure safety on land! "

"Your country is already safe enough. Just ask which country in Europe can defeat you!" Ambassador Kautz said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"No!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said to Ambassador Kautz, "There may not be any Europeans that can easily defeat the French Empire, but there are still countries and organizations that can defeat us.

The Kingdom of Britain counts as one, and so does the German Confederation! "

"The German Confederation?" Ambassador Kautz asked back.

"That's right! The German Confederation!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Ambassador Kauts in a firm tone, "The entire German Confederation has a population of nearly 70 million (plus the part of the Austrian Empire), which is twice as large as ours. !

And they are also not far behind us economically. Under such circumstances, I have no reason not to believe that they can defeat us! "

"It can be said that the German Confederation is only a defensive organization!" Ambassador Kautz emphasized.

"A defensive organization might become an offensive organization!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled slightly and said to Ambassador Kautz, "Mr. Kautz, have you forgotten that when the German Confederation was first established Under what circumstances was it established?"

Ambassador Kautz's thoughts gradually followed Jerome Bonaparte, "The German Confederation was first established...?"

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded to Ambassador Kautz, "The German nationalists at the time wanted a complete German Empire, so Prince Metternich established a compromise version of the German Confederation.

However, this compromise will only be a temporary benefit in the end. The Great Revolution of 1848 has confirmed the desire of German nationalists. They hope to reorganize the German Confederation and make it a large and compact empire!

Although they failed at that time, they also succeeded!

The whole of Germany has become more connected than before, so I can assert that a new German Empire will inevitably rise in Central Europe, and it will become a behemoth in Central Europe!

Whether it is the French Empire or the Russian Empire! They will all crawl under this giant beast! "

Although the German Empire in the historical timeline did not build the Great German Empire, the Small German Empire, excluding the Austrian Empire, was able to scare the whole of Europe.

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking!" Ambassador Kautz said to Jérôme Bonaparte with a dry smile.

Jerome Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders again, showing a helpless expression.

Afterwards, Ambassador Kauts began to tell Jerome Bonaparte the real purpose of his visit this time.

In view of the growing naval power of the French Empire in the Mediterranean, the Kingdom of Britain was very worried that this move would cause turmoil in the entire Mediterranean.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Britain hopes to reach an agreement with the French Empire in the Mediterranean Fleet to limit the naval forces deployed by both parties in the Mediterranean.

After listening to Ambassador Kautz's explanation, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately thought of the "Five Powers Naval Treaty". Under the premise of the overlord, the treaty established thereby.

The treaty limits the tonnage of capital ships of the United States, Britain, Japan, France, and Italy to 525,000 tons, 525,000 tons, 31,500 tons, 175,000 tons, and 175,000 tons, respectively.

Under such conditions, the rising United States of America had to dismantle its redundant fleet and take the initiative to limit the expansion of its own navy.

The reason why Ambassador Kautz is doing this now is also to limit the expansion of the French Empire's navy, so that the British Kingdom will always be in the position of maritime supremacy.

Jerome Bonaparte told Ambassador Kauts that the French Empire was of course unwilling to continue its continuous expansion and unknowingly entered into a military competition with Britain. Therefore, the French Empire strongly agreed with the British Kingdom's proposal to limit the navy.

However, the limitation of the navies of both parties should be reached after exchanges and consultations between the ministers of the navy of both sides.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte sincerely invited the Lord of the Navy of the Kingdom of Britain to arrive in the Kingdom of Britain and discuss a charter with Minister Dico.

"I will tell you on your behalf!" Ambassador Kauts said to Jerome Bonaparte.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte took the initiative to talk to Ambassador Kauts about the trade between Britain and France.

Ambassador Kauts also thought that Jérôme Bonaparte was planning to remove trade barriers (at present, due to trade barriers between the Kingdom of Britain and the French Empire, the trade volume between the two parties is not too large, but the financial exchanges between the two parties are not It is unprecedented.), he explained to Jerome Bonaparte with great interest the benefits of the removal of trade barriers on both sides.

Jerome Bonaparte quietly listened to Ambassador Kauts' speech, and nodded from time to time.

After Ambassador Kautz spoke for about half an hour, he asked Jerome Bonaparte with great anticipation if he would like to remove the trade barriers between Britain and France.

After pondering for a moment, Jerome Bonaparte responded to Ambassador Kauts, "I need to talk to my ministers about this question!"

"Your Majesty, I am waiting for your good news!" Ambassador Kauts replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Immediately afterwards, Ambassador Kautz told Jerome Bonaparte that their embassy will hold a wedding celebration between the Prince of Prussia and the eldest princess in the near future, hoping that Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta can attend.

"Prince of Prussia? The eldest princess? I remember they got engaged very early?" Jerome Bonaparte asked rhetorically.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Ambassador Kautz nodded and replied, "It has been more than seven years since they got engaged."
