After Emperor Franz Joseph set the diplomatic red line of the Austrian Empire at Schönbrunn Palace, the entire Austrian Empire's foreign ministry and military began to operate.

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Count of Bauer was the mainstay, and the diplomatic team supplemented by Metternich's advisers successively submitted an official document to the French Empire and the Russian Empire through their diplomatic ambassadors.

In the document submitted to the French Empire, the Austrian Empire protested that the French Empire had drawn the Kingdom of Sardinia into war, claiming that this action by France would cause the entire Apennine Peninsula to fall into chaos, thus affecting the peace of southern Europe. (In fact, there is also an informal document, which was written by Prince Metternich, handed over to his servant, and passed to Richard Metternich by the servant. The content of this document can be said to directly overthrow the submission of the Austrian Empire. Official document to the French Empire.)

However, in the documents submitted to the Russian Empire, the Austrian Empire euphemistically begged the Russian Empire to withdraw from the two principalities of the Danube with a completely different attitude. Only when the Russian Empire withdraws from these two regions will the Austrian Empire have the opportunity to help the Russian Empire with British and French mediation.

On the other hand, the military representatives headed by Minister Hess went north to the Kingdom of Prussia to join the regent of the Kingdom of Prussia with William I (Frederick William IV, who has not woken up, and as the regent William I controlled the internal and external politics of Prussia. Of course, there is also a conspiracy theory that Frederick William IV was assassinated by Junker nobles in the Kingdom of Prussia because of his liberal ideas, and let the shotgun prince who favored Junker take the stage.) countermeasures.

The various actions of the Austrian Empire during this period have really given it a strong presence on the international stage, and there seems to be a hint of a reappearance of the Vienna Conference.

After all, no matter whether it is Britain, France, or Russia or Prussia, it is impossible to ignore a first-class power with a standing army of more than 400,000 people.

Even if the Russian Empire hated the Austrian Empire's treachery, it still had to send a special envoy (the head of the Third Section, Count Orlov) to the Austrian Empire to try to do the work of the Austrian Empire, so that they would no longer oppose Russia. empire. A high-profile claim that the alliance between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia was to rekindle the revolutionary flames of the Apennine peninsula, and that Napoleon III/IV (Jerome Bonaparte), like his uncle, was a man to overthrow. The devil of the monarchy. The Russian Empire hopes that certain countries (the Kingdom of Great Britain) can see the true face of the French Empire as soon as possible and rejoin the big family of the orthodox monarchy. The Russian Empire will still give certain countries corresponding treatment in accordance with the previous plan for dividing the Ottoman Empire.

As for the French Empire, the British ambassador to France, Lord Cowley, took action immediately after the Austrian Empire handed over the protest documents to the French Empire.

Lord Cowley first went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and expressed to Minister De Luiz that the Kingdom of Great Britain was protesting that the French Empire had drawn the Kingdom of Sardinia into the war against the Russian Empire.

Lord Cowley claimed that France had blatantly drawn the Kingdom of Sardinia into the war against the Near East without notifying the Kingdom of Britain. First of all, there is a kind of distrust for the ally of the Kingdom of Britain. Since France and Britain have concluded a military alliance, they should maintain close communication between the two, and should not build a smaller one under the military alliance. military alliance. Secondly, Lord Cowley also believes that the act of pulling the Kingdom of Sardinia into war is likely to bring the Apennine Peninsula, which was in a peaceful state, into war again.

Therefore, Lord Cowley hopes that the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia should be terminated as soon as possible.

At the same time, the British ambassador in the Kingdom of Sardinia also issued a warning to Victor Emmanuel II and urged Victor Emmanuel II to restore peace to the Kingdom of Sardinia .

However, neither the French Empire nor the Kingdom of Sardinia took the British ambassador's warning to heart.

Minister De Luiz said: As long as the Kingdom of Britain can fill the vacancy of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Sardinia, then the French Empire will agree to the request of the King of Britain.

After all, the French Empire now has only about 80,000 troops in the Varna region (1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions), while the Russian Empire has a full 180,000 troops in the Danube region (an exaggeration). The French Empire must do its best to Possibly sending more troops to Varna, only this French Empire can be sure of war with the Russian Empire.

Lord Cowley did not believe what De Ruiz said, so he decided to clarify the seriousness of the problem to Jerome Bonaparte, so that he would be aware of the importance of the French Empire. What are the consequences of the actions for the alliance.

When Lord Cowley arrived at the Tuileries Palace, he had a face-to-face with the Württemberg Diplomatic Ambassador.

The two people facing each other greeted each other with a smile, but then left.

However, the presence of the Württemberg Diplomatic Ambassador at the Tuileries really caused a doubt in Lord Cowley's heart.

Why is the ambassador of Württemberg here? Could it be that there should be some changes in the German region?

With all kinds of doubts, Lord Cowley came to Jerome Bonaparte under the leadership of Mokar.

Jerome Bonaparte first asked Lord Cowley what it meant to be in such a hurry to meet him.

Lord Cowley immediately replied to Jerome Bonaparte. The reason why he was anxious to meet him was because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the leadership of Minister De Ruiz was unwilling to give positive feedback to the Sardinian kingdom. Reply.

"So it's because of this!" Jerome Bonaparte chuckled lightly: "It was my own decision to let Sardinia join the war against the Russian Empire. Minister De Luiz only It's just following my orders!"

"Your Majesty, please be blunt! If you do this, you will cause the whole of Europe to fall into greater turmoil! The Austrian Empire is likely to stand against us because of Sardinia's problems! At that time, the entire German region may become Our enemy!" said Lord Cowley excitedly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"If the entire German region is united with the Russian Empire to fight against the French Empire, would the Kingdom of Britain still stand with France!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Lord Cowley with a smile.

madman! This is a lunatic!

Lord Cowley's face changed dramatically in an instant, he felt that he was no longer facing a rational monarch, and there was a lunatic who wanted to start a war across Europe at any time.

The last guy who had the same idea as him was thirteen years ago.

[PS: During his tenure as prime minister, Thiers attempted to challenge the entire German Confederation + the Kingdom of Britain with the Kingdom of Orleans. 】

"If things really get out of hand, the Kingdom of Britain will still stand with the French Empire!" Lord Cowley responded solemnly.

Continental Equilibrium has been the diplomatic idea of ​​the Kingdom of Great Britain since the time when the Kingdom of Great Britain lost its European turf.

If the German region stands together with the Russian Empire and forms an alliance, then Britain will inevitably entice France to act together.

"I am delighted to hear Ambassador Cowley, a sincere answer! I also sincerely hope that the friendship between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the French Empire will not fade with the passage of time!" Jerome Bonaparte assured Lord Cowley , "Please rest assured, I will never bring the French Empire to that kind of situation! The era when the strength of one French country singled out the entire Europe is long gone, and now the most important thing is to maintain the balance of the entire European continent. The power of European countries Only by achieving balance can the entire Europe be in a peaceful and stable situation! The behavior of the Russian Empire is a typical example of destroying the balance of European power and destroying the entire European country!”

"Your Majesty, I'm glad you can recognize the importance of balance!" Lord Cowley showed a relieved smile, and then pointed out to Jerome Bonaparte that the Kingdom of Sardinia was about to destroy the balance between Britain, France and Germany. unfavorable factors.

"The entry of the Kingdom of Sardinia will not be the fuse for Germany to fall to the Russian Empire, but will prompt the Austrian Empire to join us as soon as possible!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Lord Cowley.

Lord Cowley asked Jerome Bonaparte with a puzzled face why he said this~www.novelhall.com~Jerome Bonaparte simply pointed out the words. He called the Württemberg Diplomatic Ambassador to him. To split the consensus within the German Confederation.

"I have assured the South German state that the French Empire will maintain good-neighborly and friendly cooperative relations with South Germany as always! As long as they do not attack France! The French Empire will guarantee their territorial security!" Jerome Bonaparte was confident He said to Lord Cowley: "At present, the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Württemberg have agreed not to declare war with the French Empire because of the Apennine issue! We hope that the Kingdom of Britain will also put pressure on the Kingdom of Hanover, so that the German region cannot be united! A loose The German Confederation will never take the initiative to attack. In this case, the Austrian Empire, which cannot unite Germany, can only fall to our side."

After hearing Jerome Bonaparte's answer, Lord Cowley couldn't help but admire Jerome Bonaparte's comprehensive diplomacy, but he did not feel any kind of half-hearted behavior towards the German vassal. How surprised.

Since ancient times, the German princes headed by Bavaria have been committed to opposing the **** of the great powers in Germany.

From the time of the Holy Roman Empire, the introduction of France into the German region has been a routine operation.
