As soon as the news of Jerome Bonaparte at the Paris City Hall on December 12, 1851 came out, the whole of Europe (mainly the people) was in an uproar, and many old people (mainly nobles) who had participated in the Napoleonic Wars recalled In response to the fears of the Napoleonic Empire, they ran and called for Europe to unite once again to attack the French Empire that had climbed out of its grave.

And some of the sojourn revolutionaries (Mazzini, Kossuth) cheered for the proposal of the French Empire. In their view, the proposal of the French Empire meant the beginning of a war in Europe, and their country was bound to be affected by this war. coercion to win the independence of their own country.

Therefore, when France announced the establishment of an empire, revolutionaries from Hungary, Italy and Poland went to Paris one after another. They used their own channels to convey their "blessings" to Napoleon III, and hoped that the French Empire could help them build their own nation.

It can be said that the establishment of the French Empire in the whole of Europe presents a trend of polarization.

Napoleon III had to express his gratitude to some foreign revolutionaries while repeating the slogan "Empire is Peace" to European countries.

Even so, Jerome Bonaparte is still unable to reverse the continual decline of the entire France's reputation.

According to the Strasbourg Military District report on December 16, they have found signs of the mobilization of the Kingdom of Prussia in the border area.

In fact, not only the Kingdom of Prussia, but also the Austrian Empire was also mobilized. According to the report of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the National Intelligence Service, as of December 20, the Austrian Empire had mobilized 40,000 field troops to be stationed in the Lombardy region. At the same time, the Count of Cavour, the Minister of Agriculture who returned to the Sardinian Dynasty, also reported information to Jerome Bonaparte about the meeting between the Austrian ambassador and the Sardinian Prime Minister through secret channels.

The entire French Empire seemed to be in a state of war at all times.

But what is puzzling is that the Russian Empire, which had been clamoring for a decisive battle with France before, was rarely silent at this juncture.

It stands to reason that the Russian Empire should be the country that hates the French Empire the most among them (referring to the orthodox kingdom), why is there no movement at this most critical moment!

Jerome Bonaparte felt that the Russian Empire seemed to be planning a major event. He hurriedly ordered the Minister of the Seal, Morny, to call the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Viscount de Luiz.

I forgot to mention that since Jerome Bonaparte was crowned emperor, the ministers of various cabinet departments also changed their titles, from the original minister to the current minister.

Although the title has changed, their functions have not changed in the slightest.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, De Ruiz, led by de Morne, came before Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty!" De Luis showed a little tiredness on his face. These days, dealing with France's diplomacy has already made him feel that he is incapable of being a clone. He didn't want to hear from the emperor's mouth the difficult requirements of the strong.

Jerome Bonaparte also saw De Ruiz's tiredness, and he hurriedly called Mocart in charge to make a cup of coffee for De Ruiz.

De Ruiz refused to reject Jerome Bonaparte's good intentions.

After a while, Mokal brought two cups of steaming coffee to the table beside the sofa in the study

After the two sat on the sofa face to face, Jerome Bonaparte said, "Minister Ruiz, what do you think of the Russian Empire?"

"The Russian Empire?" De Ruiz suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly reported to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I was just about to tell you about the Russian Empire!"

"What happened to the Russian Empire?" Jerome Bonaparte put away his smile and turned to a serious expression.

"That's it! Just now, we received a report from the French Embassy in St. Petersburg that our embassy was expelled by the Russian Empire for no reason!" De Ruiz said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Expulsion for no reason?" Jerome Bonaparte repeated De Ruiz's words, and he had even more reason to doubt whether the Russian Empire was secretly preparing a conspiracy against France.

If I were Nicholas I, what method would I use to contain the French Empire?

Jerome Bonaparte tried to bring himself into the mind-set of Nicholas I.

After referring to the attitude of Nicholas I in several major events in the past, Jerome Bonaparte realized that the Russian Empire had a great possibility to unite with the Kingdom of Britain to attack France.

The attitude of the British kingdom is undoubtedly a crucial step.

"How is the situation in Britain now?" Jerome Bonaparte turned to ask Britain's attitude.

De Luiz's face flashed with surprise, he did not expect the emperor's thoughts to coincide with him.

De Luis frowned and replied: "Not very good! According to the information from the British Embassy, ​​the people's sentiment against the French Empire in the Kingdom of Britain is getting more serious, and the opposition outside the cabinet is attacking the ruling faction!"

"Where's the royal family?" Jerome Bonaparte once again asked the British royal family's attitude.

De Luis shook his head and said, "According to the current information, the royal family has not made any moves!"

"Those damned Ansas!" Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

Now he has deeply realized the meaning of distrusting the Anza people in the diplomatic field, which is the greatest trust in the Anza people.

All consensus and suggestion are nothing but British means.

Jerome Bonaparte was also convinced that Britain would never attack the French Empire, and now their biggest enemy must be the Russian Empire.

The creed of British diplomacy is that Britain will never openly turn against the same country until the last minute.

"From now on, always pay attention to the movements of Russia and Britain! In particular, strictly investigate the exchanges between the diplomatic personnel of the two countries!" Jerome Bonaparte gave orders to De Luiz.

"Understood!" De Luiz responded.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte asked if there were any changes in the diplomatic field between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire.

"Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg had a private conversation with our diplomats, he assured us that the Austrian army of Lombardy would never invade the French Empire, and he would try his best to persuade Francis Emperor Lanz Joseph reconciles with us!" De Ruiz took a sip of the coffee that Mocar had brought over and continued: "Wilhelm, the regent of the Kingdom of Prussia, has no attitude. However, a man who claims to be able to speak on behalf of the regent The deputies of the same kind assured us that the Kingdom of Prussia will remain at peace with the French Empire."

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte had a little interest in the parliamentarian that De Ruiz said, and he asked logically: "What is the name of that parliamentarian who dares to say that he can represent the regent?"

"I remember..." De Ruiz carefully recalled the name of the congressman: "He seems to be called Otto von Bismarck! That's right, that's the name!"

"It's him!" Jerome Bonaparte, who heard the familiar name, couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, do you know him?" De Luis asked curiously.

"It can be considered as acquaintance!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and replied: "He is a very powerful guy!" Then he answered half-jokingly and half-seriously: "The two of you may meet frequently, Qian Qian Be careful not to be fooled by his rhetoric!"

"Yes!" De Ruiz replied to Jerome Bonaparte, and he couldn't help but secretly remember Bismarck's name.

"Recently, is there any other diplomatic news?" Jerome Bonaparte asked De Louis again.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies has recognized the French Empire!" De Ruiz reported to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Are you sure I heard correctly?" Jerome Bonaparte's face was full of surprise, and he repeated again: "The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies has recognized that we are the legitimate government?"

"That's right!" De Luis replied to Jerome Bonaparte in a determined tone~www.novelhall.com~ The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, as a branch of the Bourbon Dynasty, would choose to recognize the Second French Empire as legitimate The government is indeed somewhat unexpected by Jerome Bonaparte. It can be said that the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies is the second country to recognize the Second French Empire as a legitimate empire. (The first is the Kingdom of Württemberg, which has never been disconnected, and the rest of the countries are constantly watching)

Not even the Kingdom of Sardinia was as active as the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

Since the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies offered to the French Empire, Jerome Bonaparte would naturally not refuse it. He would not wantonly divide his relatives as his uncle did, making his notoriety all over the world.

"Can I invite envoys from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to Paris in the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the name of an agricultural seminar!" Jerome Bonaparte asked De Luis. In this way, he hinted to the Sardinian dynasty that the country that wants to be a French dog is not only the kingdom of Sardinia, even if it is a traitor, it must be sold with sincerity.

Furthermore, the restoration of the kingdom of Naples can also enable the French Empire to stabilize its hegemony in the Mediterranean.

"It should be possible!" De Ruiz responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Then I won't leave you here!" Jerome Bonaparte, who was accustomed to acting resolutely, issued an expulsion order to Foreign Minister De Luiz.

De Ruiz drank the rest of the coffee and left.

On December 24, 1851, De Ruiz, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the French Empire, conveyed to the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to France the invitation of Emperor Jerome Bonaparte that the two countries could join hands in consultations on agricultural issues.

The envoy of Naples was ecstatic when he was invited, and he hurriedly conveyed the invitation of the French Empire to the kingdom of Naples.
