Under the order of Jerome Bonaparte, led by the Chancellor of the Exchequer Magnet, the exchange meeting with the participation of bankers in France kicked off at the Elysee Palace.

In addition to Jérôme Bonaparte, Magnet, De Ruiz, and Parisian bankers, there were also a delegation from the Ottoman Empire, the Austrian ambassador to the French Empire, Rothschild (Austria branch) Ministry of Foreign Affairs), and his secretary Richard Metternich.

The main purpose of holding the exchange conference this time is to let Rifat Pasha see clearly that the French Empire is not only powerful in terms of military strength, but also second only to the Kingdom of Britain in terms of economy.

The second is to let the Austrian Empire understand the determination of the French Empire for the Crimean War.

Bringing the Ottoman Empire delegation that was about to be at war to such an economic exchange meeting is enough to demonstrate France's confidence in the Ottoman Empire.

To prevent Vienna from making wrong judgments, although Prince Metternich is the most outstanding diplomat of the Austrian Empire, he is not the one who really controls the policy of the Austrian Empire. Metternich's body.

At seven o'clock in the evening, night fell, and the sly and bright moonlight shone on the brightly lit Elysee Palace.

After the long and elegant symphony came to an abrupt end, the economic exchange party officially began.

At the same time, Jerome Bonaparte, who was wearing a black corset and a Grand Cross on his chest, entered the living room of the Elysee Palace accompanied by Edgar Ney.

Almost at the same time, everyone in the living room saluted the imperial monarch.

"Welcome to the Elysee Palace, everyone! I hope you can have a pleasant night here!" Jerome Bonaparte said to everyone present in a majestic yet kind tone.

Everyone present applauded the "great" monarch of France almost at the same time.

Edgar Neyran, who was standing on the side, said in a voice: "I announce the official start of the exchange meeting!"

Afterwards, the meeting room where Jerome Bonaparte and Edgar Ney left.

The bankers at the exchange meeting became active. He toasted each other and tried to extract some useful information from each other's hands.

Rifat Pasha, one of the protagonists of the exchange meeting, became the target of the banquet after the exchange meeting began.

One after another, well-capitalized bankers came to Rifat Pasha to raise a toast with Rifat Pasha, and on time Rifat Pasha their bank was willing to do what it could for the Ottoman government bond haircut .

In the face of the big bankers that followed, Rifat Pasha naturally did not dare to show any slights, and he hurriedly assured each of the bankers that the Ottoman Empire would give priority to their banks.

Just when Rifat Pasha was surrounded by French bankers, the secretary beside Richard Rothschild, who was sitting at the bar table in the corner of the living room (remodeled by Jerome Bonaparte), whispered beside the secretary. Metternich said: "I can bet you that France will intervene in the Near East in the near future."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Richard Metternich, who had just stepped into the diplomatic field, asked Ambassador Rothschild with a puzzled expression.

"Because I smell money!" Ambassador Rothschild half-jokingly said to Richard Metternich.

"Ambassador Rothschild, please don't make such a joke!" Richard Metternich showed displeasure on his face. He didn't understand why his father recommended such a copper-smelling man to serve as the diplomat in France. Ambassador, there are obviously many people who are better than him.

Hearing Richard Metternich's boring response, Rothschild put away a cynical attitude and explained to Richard Metternich that he speculated that the French Empire might be in the Near East from the quotations of the Paris Stock Exchange. There are some small moves.

"Paris Stock Exchange?" Richard Metternich tilted his head, his eyes even more puzzled.

"That's right!" Ambassador Rothschild responded to Richard Metternich: "You didn't realize that in the recent period of time, stocks related to arms on the stock exchange are going up continuously!"

"It doesn't seem to mean anything?" Richard Metternich shook his head and said to Rothschild.

"No no no!" Ambassador Rothschild shook his head and responded to Richard Metternich: "The stock market reflects the market, and the market just proves that the French Empire is deliberately preparing for war!"

"That's because it can only show that the French Empire is fully prepared for war, and can't explain other things!" Richard Metternich replied to Rothschild.

"The rise in arms really doesn't mean anything!" Rothschild nodded with empathy, and then pointed to Rifat Pasha's direction: "But after the arrival of the Ottoman Empire, it will be different! The Ottoman Empire is currently lacking the most. What is it? Is it money?"

Ambassador Rothschild paused, then said to himself: "No! What the Ottoman Empire lacks now is a country that is willing to lend them money! Now that the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire are in a state of preparation for war, which one is willing to lend money to them? What about giving money to the Ottoman Empire and what to face after lending it to the Ottoman Empire?

As far as I know, the current kingdom of Britain has been pushing back on loan requests from the Ottoman Empire! "

Richard Metternich stared at Ambassador Rothschild with wide eyes, and his tone couldn't help but become excited: "What the Ottoman Empire needs is the attitude of borrowing money, not real money?!!"

"There's nothing wrong with you thinking so! After all, no matter how much money you give the Ottoman Empire, they won't be able to defeat the Russian Empire!" Ambassador Rothschild nodded to Richard Metternich and said, "The French Empire The willingness to lend money to the Ottoman Empire means that they are willing to take risks with the Ottoman Empire. The best way to maintain the Ottoman Empire's national debt is to help the Ottoman Empire defeat the Russian Empire! The French Empire's willingness to lend money to the Ottoman Empire is itself Indicates the intention to declare war.

Watch it! The Ambassador of the Russian Empire will not give up! "

Although Richard Metternich was reluctant to believe Ambassador Rothschild's speculation, he still asked Ambassador Rothschild what position the Austrian Empire should take to deal with it.

Ambassador Rothschild glanced at Richard Metternich, pointed at Richard Metternich in a free and easy tone, and said, "This is what you have to consider! Don't forget, all the diplomatic affairs of the embassy now. It's all up to you!"

In the face of Ambassador Rothschild's dumping, Richard Metternich showed a helpless expression.

When the banquet entered the middle stage, Edgar Ney quietly appeared in front of Ambassador Rothschild and Richard Metternich and said, "Mr. Ambassador, Mr. Richard, please come with me! "

A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of Ambassador Rothschild and Richard Metternich, and then Ambassador Rothschild smiled and said, "Since it was His Majesty's summons, there is no reason for us to see it."

After speaking, Ambassador Rothschild and Secretary Richard Metternich stood up and followed Edgar Ney out of the living room.

A group of three walked to the door of the study of the Elysee Palace by stepping on the stairs with the red carpet. Edgar Ney pushed open the door of the study, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Ambassador Rothschild and Richard Metternich entered the study together.

"Ambassador Rothschild, Mr. Richard Metternich, please take a seat!" Jerome Bonaparte invited Ambassador Rothschild to sit down with Richard Metternich.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know you asked us to come..." Ambassador Rothschild asked respectfully.

"That's it! Just yesterday, I received a set of photos from the Near East! The content of the photos is really outrageous!" Jerome Bonaparte said, while blurring black and white The photo was handed to them.

The first photo shows a young girl lying on the ground crying, while behind the little girl is a row of burning houses.

The second photo shows a drunken Russian soldier punching and kicking a mother and daughter.

And the third photo is a 'photo' of Russian soldiers abusing their captives

...

Ambassador Rothschild and Richard Metternich looked through all the photos.

In all fairness, the actions of the "Russian Army" in the photo did not exceed the moral bottom line that can be tolerated in this era.

After all, the French burned, killed and looted in Algeria, and the Austrian Empire bloodshed Vienna, and the impact was much more serious than the photos.

However, the result of these photos being used by people with intentions was a large-scale war second only to the Napoleonic period.

"I never imagined that the civilized Russian Empire would do such a maddening act in Moldova and Wallachia! I thought the Tsar of the Russian Empire would be much more civilized than the Ottoman Empire after entering the Danube! But I was wrong , I misjudged the Russian Empire! They mean beasts and robbers~www.novelhall.com~ They occupied the land of the Danube Principality and enslaved the citizens of other countries with arrogant excuses!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a heartbroken expression The expression, I don't know, I thought that the Russian Empire had committed some heinous crimes.

"My gracious majesty, war has always been so inhumane! You don't need to be so sad!"

Although Ambassador Rothschild understood Jerome Bonaparte's purpose, he still actively cooperated with Jerome Bonaparte in acting.

"I think more and more people should be able to see the true face of the Russian Empire. Only in this way can more people be encouraged to resist the tyranny of the Russian Empire." Jerome Bonaparte said while looking at Li Chad Metternich said: "The citizens of the Danube Principality should no longer be protected by the Russian Empire, but should be protected by a responsible country. The Austrian Empire is the ideal protector of the Danube Principality in my opinion!"

"Your Majesty, whether the Austrian Empire is willing to become the protector of the Danube depends on Vienna!" Richard Metternich responded cautiously.
