"Mr Richard, please have a seat!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
At the invitation of Jerome Bonaparte, Richard Metternich sat on the seat opposite Jerome Bonaparte, and between them was a desk made of mahogany , the desk is full of various documents.
The two sitting in the chairs were silent for a while without saying a word, and just now Richard Metternich, who was a little dull in nature, began to ask Jerome Bonaparte tentatively, "Your Majesty. , I heard that your country will have a big operation in the near future?"
Jerome Bonaparte put his folded legs back into a posture of sitting upright, with a little surprise on his face, "Who told you that?"
"Your Majesty, no one told me, everything is my own guess!" Richard Metternich responded "candidly" to Jerome Bonaparte.
"You are right! The French Empire is indeed preparing for an operation!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and replied to Richard Metternich.
Afterwards, Richard Metternich asked Jerome Bonaparte for the inconvenience of revealing the content of the operation.
Jerome Bonaparte told Richard Metternich that the French Empire has asked the Russian Empire to withdraw from the Danube Principality. If the Russian Empire is unwilling to agree, then the Russian Empire will be waiting for a war.
"Will the Kingdom of Britain join the Empire in this war?" Richard Metternich once again asked Jerome Bonaparte about the Kingdom of Britain's attitude.
Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and told Richard Metternich in a helpless tone that although the Kingdom of Britain would join the war sooner or later, it was not now.
Immediately, in front of Richard Metternich, Jerome Bonaparte complained about the inefficiency of the government organization in the Kingdom of Great Britain, calling them three months' time, and a discussion that would take three hours to complete. thing.
In each of these three months, the British government faced different resistances. The first month was a discussion in the cabinet, and the discussion would inevitably produce all kinds of opposition. The balance of the party, and at the same time, in order to win over some non-party ministers, some positions must be handed over to these people. After the cabinet is formed, these people will become the royal opposition. The second month after the cabinet meeting, when the When the cabinet reluctantly agreed to submit the proposal to the House of Lords, it also encountered opposition from some members of the House of Lords who were arrogant. These oppositions would once again slow down the progress. The third month was the final approval and implementation of the policy. On the one hand, at this stage, he had to obtain Queen Victoria's consent and learn the fledgling civil service system in Family Britain.
And these three hours are often just the Prime Minister's desire to add a "cook" to his Downing Street residence.
Richard Metternich just smiled at Jerome Bonaparte's complaints. When he accompanied his father, Prince Metternich, to settle in Britain, he also felt the "more flexibility" of the British civil service system. change" feature.
All in all, it's not as bad as Jerome Bonaparte says.
Taking into account the centuries-old "love-hate relationship" between Britain and France, Metternich expressed understanding for Jerome Bonaparte's milk-ying behavior.
"The British system is different from our two countries, so we need to give them some time to react! As long as the political elites of the British kingdom are not kissed hard by the gate, they will soon join us! Together against the Russian Empire Atrocities in the Danube Principality!"
Although Jérôme Bonaparte happily spoke in milk and English in front of Richard Metternich, in his heart he did not dare to underestimate the elite politicians in Britain.
Far from the power center of the European continent, Britain could not pursue the hegemony of the European continent as happily as the French Empire, but it could devote all its energy to building a world navy.
Because of the special geographical location of Britain, the fault tolerance rate of Britain is far greater than that of any country on the European continent. Before the Royal Navy was completely defeated, Britain had enough opportunities to try detours that the European continent dared not try.
If the Royal Navy could not effectively suppress the rising countries in Europe on that day, then it was when Britain was in complete decline. This decline was not only the decline of national strength, but also the decline of talents and politicians.
Jerome Bonaparte in his previous life had seen quite a few jokes made by the Kingdom of Great Britain.
British politicians in the 21st century are far from their predecessors.
At present, Britain is still at its peak, and both talents and politicians are in the stage of positive feedback.
Even if the efficiency of the British government is a bit worse than that of the autocratic government, it can still take action before the situation completely leads to disaster.
Jerome Bonaparte believed that once Britain learned of the Ottoman Empire's declaration of war on the Russian Empire and France's entry into Varna, it would definitely abandon its hesitation and join the battle.
Weakening the interest of the Russian Empire to go along with the vast majority of European powers.
In the conversation with Richard Metternich, Jerome Bonaparte used the word "we" over and over again, also with the intention of pulling the Austrian Empire into the war.
The secret of politics is to say that friends do a lot and opponents do a little to take advantage of the majority to isolate the minority.
After hearing Jerome Bonaparte's "language sickness", Richard Metternich hurriedly corrected Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, the Austrian Empire is not yet ready for a war against the Russian Empire. middle!"
"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte's eyes showed a hint of hostility, and his tone became more and more impolite: "Is it that the Austrian Empire has not given up on the Russian Empire? Or do you mean that the Austrian Empire is willing to be completely Surrounded by Slavic peoples!"
In order to create a sense of urgency in the Austrian Empire where Richard Metternich is located, Jerome Bonaparte also deliberately exaggerated the Slavic threat: "According to the information I have received, the Russian Imperial Army is preparing for a large-scale Slavic uprising. The uprising has the potential to disrupt the fragile balance of the Near East, thereby completing a chain reaction.
If Russia has malicious intentions, will the Slavic peoples in the Austrian Empire also heed their call to act. At that time, even if the Austrian Empire wanted to oppose the Russian Empire, it would not be able to do so! "
"I believe that Tsar Nicholas must consider carefully!" Richard Metternich was a little less confident. He couldn't guarantee that the Russian Empire would not use the method that Jerome Bonaparte said.
"It is undoubtedly the most ridiculous thing to expect that arrogant tsar to stay sane!" Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help sneering: "Furthermore, they can really control the Slavic nation that has fallen into a frenzy. Think about that disaster a few years ago!"
The "disaster" in Jerome Bonaparte's mouth refers to the European Revolution five years ago.
The surging wave of nationalism almost overturned the tattered boat of the Habsburg, and displacement became the norm for the great aristocracy at that time.
No one wants to go back to those crazy times!
"I... We're not like this, it's just..." Richard Metternich's face turned slightly pale, and after a long time, he faltered and replied, "It's just that Your Majesty, your speed is really out of the ordinary. We didn't expect it!"
Since the Russian Empire entered the Danube River Basin, the Austrian Empire has always wanted to expel the Russian Empire. However, their lack of strength can only make them pin their hopes on France. They used the power of France to mediate with the Russian Empire to force the Russian Empire to withdraw from the Danube without bloodshed.
When Prince Metternich knew that Jerome Bonaparte was determined to overthrow the Russian Empire, he could only give up his mediation and temporarily favor France.
However, what Richard Metternich and Prince Metternich did not expect was that the French Empire would declare a war against the Russian Empire when the Kingdom of Britain was not fully prepared.
"Prepare? What else do we need to prepare? While we are preparing, the Russian Empire is also preparing!" Jerome Bonaparte said bluntly: "Do we have to wait until the soldiers of the Russian Empire cooperate with the Slavs When the Ottoman Empire's defense lines are broken down~www.novelhall.com~ Do we have to take action until the Russian Empire soldiers march into Constantinople? I am afraid that at that time, the Austrian Empire has already become the puppet of the Russian Empire. already."
Jerome Bonaparte paused, glanced at Richard Metternich, and then said: "We cannot allow the Russian Empire to have any luck, if the Austrian Empire joins us in opposing the Russian Empire's occupation The Danube, the Russian Empire will definitely retreat!"
"However, in this case, the Austrian Empire will immediately face the attack of the Russian Empire!" Richard Metternich said to Jerome Bonaparte in a slightly excited tone.
"If you pay, you will be rewarded! The Austrian Empire will receive as much return as it pays. You can continue to be neutral, but I can guarantee that after this war, you will not get the slightest benefit!" Jerome Bonaparte has changed his previous words and started to directly threaten Richard Metternich.
Richard Metternich was furious. If possible, he would like to kill Jerome Bonaparte now.
"Isn't France afraid of Austria joining the Russian Empire?"
