"Make France Great Again (!

After figuring out the basic demands of both parties, the next negotiation will come naturally.

The two parties who were satisfied with the result tacitly changed the subject, during which Jerome Bonaparte discussed the existing problems in Rome with the Baron Hubery, and suggested that the Austrian Empire could use its own influence to work with the French Republic Putting pressure on the Pope to force the Pope to appropriate some of the political prisoners.

Baron Hubery neither agreed nor opposed, he just told Jerome Bonaparte that this should be the responsibility of the Austrian ambassador to the Pope. However, he would pass on the opinion of France to Chancellor Felix Schwarzenberg of the Austrian Empire.

On the occasion of parting, Jerome Bonaparte shook hands cordially with Baron Hubery: "I hope that the friendship between the Austrian Empire and the French Republic will reach a new level in the years to come!"

"Your Excellency, I see France prospering under your wise command! The friendship between Austria and France will last forever!" Baron Hubery responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"To treat friends, we have wine to welcome! To enemies, we have shotguns to give! Under the testimony of God, France will share glory and shame with his allies of God!" Jerome Bonaparte made the final conclusion After speaking, he personally sent Baron Huber to the carriage.

Jerome Bonaparte, who watched Baron Hubere leave, turned and asked Mocart beside him: "Mr. Mocart, are you interested in taking a tour of Germany for me!"

Mocart, who was following Jerome Bonaparte, was stunned at first, then suppressed his excitement and nodded in response: "It is my honor to be able to serve as an ambassador for the President!"

"Tomorrow I will ask Tocqueville to prepare a letter of appointment appointing you as a special envoy! You go to Germany with the letter of appointment!" Jerome Bonaparte gave an order to Mocart as he walked towards the main hall of the Elysee Palace .

"Your Excellency, what do I need to do in Germany?" Mercury asked Jerome Bonaparte deferentially.

Jerome Bonaparte stopped, thought for a moment, and then answered carefully: "You only need to preach European peace in the German region, and you don't need to say anything else!"

"Yes!" Mokar nodded in response.

"Go back and prepare first!" Jerome Bonaparte gave Mocar a half-day vacation for Mocar to go home and prepare.

On the other hand, Baron Hubery, who was returning to the Austrian embassy in France in a carriage, immediately sent a telegram to the Austrian side.

The content of the telegram stated Jerome Bonaparte's appeal and Baron Hubery's opinion on Jerome Bonaparte's appeal.

"... Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think the most urgent task of the Austrian Empire is to destroy the prestige of Prussia, so that it can no longer compete with Austria in the German region. As for the territorial issue mentioned by Napoleon, the Empire can make an appropriate compromise, and we can promise him first. Opinion, when the time is ripe, some adjustments can be made! Of course, my suggestion is that it is best not to go back on it. The empire can hand over part of the land in the Rhineland area to France. First, it can properly weaken Prussia, and secondly, it can make The people of the southern German state have a sense of crisis and are more closely united by our side. Thirdly, it can also arouse the fear of France in other European countries, which is conducive to uniting other powers...

President Napoleon also talked about the issue of the Papal State. In my humble opinion, we should give the Pope appropriate pressure to make France see our influence clearly. Now a part of the French army is trapped in Rome, and that is the credit of you, Prime Minister..."

[PS: Felix Schwarzenberg's original plan was to let Pius IX go to Austria, leaving France a papal state without a pope, thus putting the French army in an embarrassing situation. Who knew that the Pope would rather go to the French Republic than abandon his Rome to Austria. Schwarzenberg's strategy was only half completed. 】

The telegram was quickly sent to Vienna via a small telegraph station purpose-built by the embassy.

After receiving the message from Baron Hubery, the Vienna Telegraph Office quickly sent someone to Schönbrunn Palace to deliver the message.

Prime Minister's Office at Schönbrunn Palace.

Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg is sitting on the sofa, and the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph is sitting on the marching chair to his left.

In order to cater to the self-disciplined ascetic monarch, every room of Schönbrunn Palace has a marching chair.

"Your Majesty!" Felix Schwarzenberg asked cautiously to the 19-year-old emperor in front of him: "Is this meeting with King Frederick William (King of Prussia) still satisfactory to you? "

The meeting Felix Schwarzenberg said was on September 1st, when King Frederick Wilhelm IV of Prussia and Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria met in the city of Teplice in the Kingdom of Bohemia. Hold a "family" meeting.

Since the participants in the meeting were all state leaders, and it was also a private gathering between monarchs, Felix Schwarzenberg was not qualified to participate in the meeting, so he had no way of knowing the content of the conversation.

It was not until Franz Joseph returned to Vienna from Bohemia that he asked tentatively.

"It's terrible!" Franz Joseph still faced Felix Schwarzenberg with a stern face, and his words were full of complaints: "King Frederick Wilhelm implore me to respect the wishes of the Germans, They also said that Prussia wanted to make peace with Austria and lead Germany together."

"Your Majesty, please be blunt!" Felix Schwarzenberg paused and reorganized his language: "Just as there are no two suns in the sky, there cannot be two leaders in the German region! If Prussia With Austria and Austria acting as the leader of Germany, the German region will definitely face the end of division."

Franz Joseph nodded sympathetically, and then said: "King Frederick William told me that Prussia can help Austria manage the problems of North Germany, and Austria can concentrate on managing South Germany."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!" Felix Schwarzenberg, who had the thought of "I want it all", said to Franz Joseph: "Once the Prussian conspiracy succeeds, the entire German region will fall into Split! The Austrian Empire does not need and cannot retreat, we need to rebuild the old German Confederation and smash the Prussian delusions hard."

Franz Joseph asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister Felix, can we really win against Prussia?"

From 1848 to 1849, the weak army of the Austrian Empire really left a deep impression on Franz Joseph.

Facing Franz Joseph's doubts, Felix Schwarzenberg said unswervingly: "Your Majesty, I believe that our army will be able to defeat the ambitions of the Kingdom of Prussia!"

Just as Felix Schwarzenberg was talking, there was another knock on the office door.

Felix Schwarzenberg glanced at Franz Josef beside him.

Franz Joseph did not speak, but nodded slightly in agreement.

Felix Schwarzenberg, who received permission from Franz Joseph, immediately responded to the door: "Please come in!"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, from..." Secretary von Genz, holding a letterhead, was eager to report to Felix Schwarzenberg as soon as he entered the door. When he noticed Felix Schwarzenberg's body When Franz Joseph was beside him, his expression instantly froze, and he swallowed the words in his throat.

"Go on!" Felix Schwarzenberg signaled that von Genz could continue to report.

Von Gentz ​​swallowed and responded with a serious expression: "His Majesty Franz, Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is a telegram from Baron Hubey!"

After that, he handed the letter to Felix Schwarzenberg.

[Actually, this is a kind of political inaccuracy. Von Genz, Felix Schwarzenberg and Franz Joseph did not pay attention to this detail. 】

"Baron Hubery?" Franz Joseph asked suspiciously.

"Baron Hubey is the Austrian ambassador to France, and is now seeking support in France!" Felix Schwarzenberg replied in place of von Genz.

Franz Joseph's face showed a hint of unhappiness, so he asked sharply: "Mr. Prime Minister, I remember that just a month ago, didn't you still say that France is an important enemy of the Empire? Why do you want it now? Seek their support?"

"Your Majesty, in the diplomatic field there has never been a fixed friend, nor a fixed enemy. Our foreign policy is based on the premise of safeguarding our own security and interests.

I said a month ago that the French Republic could be the enemy of the Empire, but that doesn't mean we have to be in a constant hostile relationship with the French Republic.

Now ~www.novelhall.com~ we have quelled the challenge of the Sardinian Dynasty to us, and made the Sardinian Dynasty a barrier between us and the French Republic again, and our relationship with the French Republic has also been restored. Until Sardinia did not rebel, the struggle with Prussia was the most important thing before us. "Schwarzenberg reorganized the language, trying to make Franz Josef understand why he "differences in words and deeds".

"Prime Minister Felix, you are becoming more and more like my teacher!" Franz Joseph repeated the comments he made to Felix Schwarzenberg more than a month ago.

"You're overrated!" Felix Schwarzenberg bowed to Franz Josef, then opened the folded letterhead.

"Your Majesty, the French Republic conditionally agrees to our demands!"
