The British ambassador and the supreme ruler of the French Republic reached a certain degree of consensus in laughter (swords and swords).

"Your Excellency, the coffee at the Tuileries Palace is really delicious!" Ambassador Cowley, who was in a good mood, took the coffee in his hand and savoured it carefully, with an inexplicable smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth, as if the words meant something else.

"If you don't dislike it, Mr. Ambassador can often visit the Tuileries Palace!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Ambassador Cauley.

"The next meeting point might be Brussels!" Ambassador Cowley replied, seemingly casually.

Ambassador Cauley's response gave a subtle expression to Jerome Bonaparte's expression. Ambassador Cauley's intention was clearly to say that France itself may have an unfavorable introduction to Belgium.

The separation of the French-speaking regions of southern Belgium is an eternal pain for the whole of France. The former France had the opportunity to recover these lands in 1830, but due to the cowardly diplomacy of the July Dynasty and the fear of the revolution by the powers, France completely lost this opportunity. .

After Jérôme Bonaparte's coup d'état became the supreme consul of France, voices related to Belgium and the Treaty of 1815 appeared in Paris.

As time passed, this voice intensified. Radicals believed that France should take back its French-speaking land, conservatives also believed that Belgium should obey France's orders, and many "visionaries" believed that Belgium should join the French-led customs union.

In short, both conservatives and radicals are already in Sima Zhao's heart for Belgian peeping.

Among them there are shadows of Bonapartists hidden behind the scenes, who are mainly instructed to advocate the francophone customs union.

Jerome Bonaparte naturally understood that Ambassador Cowley and the British kingdom behind him were worried about France peeping at Belgium, and he quickly responded: "France intends to maintain the existing order in Western Europe, and we will not engage in any co-hegemony. Relevant things! All ethnic groups and countries live in harmony..."

Jerome Bonaparte also used a fluent diplomatic tone to express to Ambassador Cauley that France respects Belgium's existing sovereignty issues and will never make a big news in Belgium.

"Please tell Minister Palmerston that France respects all his efforts to maintain peace in Europe in 1831! Facts have proved that Palmerston's efforts are indeed conducive to peace in Western Europe!" Jerome Bonaparte Then answer to Ambassador Cowley.

The so-called Treaty of 1831 refers to the Treaty of Recognition of Belgian Permanent Neutrality signed by British, French, and Russian Opp after Belgian independence in 1831. This treaty can be said to be Palmerston's pinnacle. The second son served as the king of Belgium, which alienated France and Russia, thereby isolating the two countries from each other, and then winning over Austria and Prussia, and trying to force Russia and France to obey the actions of Britain.

Belgium's "permanent neutrality" prerogative is determined at the bottom line that can be tolerated by the interests of all parties.

Although the Kingdom of the Netherlands was reluctant to recognize Belgium's independence, the Netherlands was no match for Belgium without the help of the great powers.

Finally, nine years later, in 1839, the Netherlands pinched its nose and recognized the Belgian kingdom as a country.

"Oh! So, Your Excellency, you agree with Minister Palmerston's original treaty!" Ambassador Cauley was very interested in Jerome Bonaparte's response!

"Of course, France firmly upholds the right to permanent neutrality of the Kingdom of Belgium! If any country dares to violate Belgium's sovereignty, France must be the first to refuse!" Jerome Bonaparte responded decisively to Ambassador Cauley. .

"I can hear this from Your Excellency, I think Your Excellency Palmerston must be very pleased!" Ambassador Cowley showed a smile on his face again, and he said with a pun: "I hope Your Excellency can serve France and the whole country. Peace in Europe goes a step further!"

Of course, Jerome Bonaparte also understood what Ambassador Cauley meant. He responded with a reserved expression: "It depends on the entire French people! Eight million French people entrust their power to me, and I must not be able to. Live up to the expectations of the French people!"

Ambassador Cowley and Jerome Bonaparte have tacitly reached a consensus. As for whether this consensus is a situation that Ambassador Cowley intends to lead or whether Britain sincerely responds, we can only wait until Jerome Bonaparte. After Ba really became emperor, he was able to know it.

Cowley and Jerome Bonaparte once again chatted about European issues for a long time, until the sun was setting, and when the afterglow of the setting sun slipped into the study through the window lattice, Ambassador Cowley subconsciously glanced at him. Pendulum clock in corner.

It was now around 4:30 pm, and Ambassador Cowley hurriedly bid farewell to Jerome Bonaparte, who enthusiastically retained Ambassador Cowley to stay for a dinner.

Ambassador Cauley did not reject the invitation of Jerome Bonaparte to him. Ambassador Cauley and Jerome Bonaparte had a simple meal at the Tuileries Palace... [Although it is a light meal , but sturgeon caviar, snails and even steaks that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside]

The drunk Ambassador Cauley was sent away "intimately" by Wallevsky, but he was accidentally seen by a peeping Russian "boy" on the way.

The enthusiastic guy quickly and quietly left. He secretly returned to the Russian embassy without knowing it. Behind him, there was also a group of people who were secretly following him. They kept watching the Russian "boy" slip into the Russian embassy.

Afterwards, they informed the director of the National Intelligence Service, Marcel Yeruger, who once again went to the Tuileries Palace to inform Jerome Bonaparte of the situation.

"Your subordinates saw it with their own eyes?" Jerome Bonaparte once again confirmed whether what Marcel Yeruger said was true.

"I saw it with my own eyes!" Marcel Yeruger responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a firm tone.

"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it! After one cleaning, there are still so many mice in Paris!" Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh.

Now it seems that European countries attach no less importance to intelligence agencies than Jerome Bonaparte, but they do not have the vision of Jerome Bonaparte that surpassed the times for more than 200 years.

Many national intelligence departments have not undergone systematic training, and cannot form a professional team. The police department and the intelligence department have not been divided in a strict sense. The gap between them is too large.

"Your Majesty, do you want me!" Marcel Yeruger raised his hand and dropped his knife.

After several months of "fishing law enforcement" Marcel Yeruger has already figured out the routines of those backward intelligence organizations, it is almost impossible to catch them all.

"Don't worry! Play with them!" Jerome Bonaparte stopped Marcel Yarouger's next move.

Instead of purging their existing intelligence networks, they should do something good for them through those intelligence networks.

Spies and half a million are inevitable products of any age.

"I see! Just keep monitoring them!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered Marcel Yeruger.

"Yes!" Marcel Yeruger nodded in understanding.

When Marcel Yeruger was about to leave, Jerome Bonaparte suddenly thought of something, and he hurriedly stopped Marcel Yeruger and asked, "That's right! Regarding the people who are going to Qingguo, what did you prepare? how's it going?"

If the eastern historical line had not changed, Hong Xiuquan in history had already successfully revolted last month, that is, on January 11.

Now this rebel army should be in the growing stage, and the ruler of Qingguo has no understanding of the uprising.

After all, the distance from Jintian to Beijing is too far. In order not to be held accountable, local officials will inevitably hide the report like the Opium War and try to eliminate them.

If you go by boat now, it will take about half a year to arrive.

Coupled with the local survey and preparations, it also takes more than a year.

By that time, the insurgent army has settled the capital, and France can seamlessly connect with them.

"It's ready!" Marcel Yeruger responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Let's do it! In two months, a fleet will depart from Calais and pass through the Far East! You let your men go with the fleet!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Marcel Yeruger.

The reason why Jerome Bonaparte sent the fleet to the Far East was for Hawaii, an island country in the Pacific region~www.novelhall.com~ As we all know, France has never stopped its development in the Far East and the Pacific region, especially the 19 In the 1930s and 1940s, the Orleans Dynasty and the British Kingdom competed with each other in the Pacific region.

The purpose of the fleet going to the Far East was to punish the Kingdom of Hawaii. Just over a year ago, in June 1849, Brigadier General Louis de Toumeran of the Second French Republic did not attack the Kingdom of Hawaii because the Kingdom of Hawaii did not reply to its conditions.

Although the fleet damaged the coastal fire and fortifications of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the Marines were defeated by the Hawaiian Kingdom by five times the soldiers.

After the news reached France in November 1850 after more than a year, Admiral Dicko felt ashamed and asked Jerome Bonaparte to send faster warships to teach the Kingdom of Hawaii.

As Jerome Bonaparte was preparing for the coup at the time, the situation in the Kingdom of Hawaii could only be postponed.

Now that all the dust has settled, Jerome Bonaparte will of course prepare to teach the ignorant Hawaiian kingdom a lesson.
