"Albert, you don't need to have such a big psychological burden, I will always stand with you!"
Queen Victoria grabbed Prince Albert's hand and said affectionately.
As the Queen of the Kingdom of Great Britain, she could never speak ill of her subjects, so she could only be vague on this issue.
"Fortunate to have you!" Prince Albert also understood Queen Victoria's difficulties, and he decided to cut off the topic.
After Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were in the carriage for a while, the carriage slowly stopped.
The driver outside the carriage spoke half-baked English to Queen Victoria and his wife inside the carriage: "Her Majesty, we are here! You can get off!"
"Got it!" Queen Victoria responded loudly, then slightly adjusted her pleated dress and got out of the car with Albert.
After seeing Queen Victoria getting off the bus, Mokar, who was in charge of the reception, trotted to them and said, "Your Majesty, please come with me!"
Guided by Mocar, Queen Victoria and his wife entered my castle near the Bois de Boulogne on the western outskirts of Paris.
"Your Majesty, please wait here for a moment with His Royal Highness!" Mokar accused Queen Victoria and left.
After a while, Franz Joseph and Elizabeth also entered the castle.
At this time, Franz Joseph seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness in the military parade before. He looked around the castle with a serious face, and then took Princess Elizabeth to the front of Queen Victoria and his wife.
"Your Majesty!" Elizabeth saluted the Victoria couple in front of her.
"What a lovely princess!" Seeing Elizabeth who looked like a porcelain doll, Queen Victoria unconsciously praised, "Are you Franz Joseph's fiancee?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Elizabeth nodded obediently in response to Queen Victoria.
"It can be seen that your husband is quite discerning! He can choose you among many royal families! You are really beautiful!" Victoria remarked to Elizabeth unconsciously.
"Dear!" Prince Albert's voice increased slightly, he reminded Victoria to be careful.
"I'm so sorry!" Queen Victoria immediately realized that her behavior was somewhat offensive, and quickly apologized to Franz Joseph and Elizabeth.
"It's nothing!" Franz Joseph showed a generous smile, he shook his head and replied.
Afterwards, Prince Albert and Franz Joseph were speechless, while Queen Victoria grabbed Elizabeth's hand and took her to a secluded corner to talk about the privacy between some girls.
During this period, Elizabeth occasionally peeked in the direction of Franz Joseph.
After another twenty minutes, the guests who were sent into the castle by Mokar had already taken up one-third of the living room area of the castle.
"His Majesty the Emperor is here!" With a shout from Mocar, Jerome Bonaparte appeared in the castle, and quickly walked to Franz Joseph and Albert, inviting them to have a meal together.
The rest of the guests also went to different rooms in the castle to dine under Mokar's arrangement.
When Jerome Bonaparte, Franz Joseph, Elizabeth, and Victoria entered a small dining room on the right side of the castle's living room, they found Queen Augusta, who was still pregnant, sitting in two The main seat of one of the dining tables (one in the back room of the room).
"Your Majesty/Augusta, why are you here?" Elizabeth and Queen Victoria shouted at the same time.
"Didn't I come to accompany you? Princess Elizabeth, Her Majesty Victoria, come and sit!" Queen Augusta cautiously got up and invited Elizabeth and Victoria.
"Be careful/be careful!" Elizabeth and Queen Victoria said to Augusta at the same time.
"I'm not so delicate yet!" Augusta came to the hands of Elizabeth and Victoria, sat down together, then cast a glance at Jerome Bonaparte and the others and said angrily: "If you have anything to talk about If so, you can go to the back room to discuss!"
After speaking, Augusta complained to Queen Victoria and the others: "They always like to discuss work matters during dinner!"
"Yes!" Queen Victoria also echoed: "It's obvious that those things are some boring things, but they can always discuss it with relish! I really don't know what it means!"
The criticism of Queen Victoria and Augusta made Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Albert show a wry smile.
Of course, these words of the two of them also found a suitable reason for Jerome Bonaparte, Franz Joseph, and Albert to enter the back room.
"Since the ladies don't like us discussing issues at the dinner table, let's leave it here to them, how about going to the back room to talk?" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and asked Franz Joseph and Albert.
"I agree!" Albert immediately agreed with Jerome Bonaparte.
"I... agree too!" Franz Joseph hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The three of Jerome Bonaparte entered the inner room and closed the door of the inner room.
After Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Albert who were sitting at the round table looked at each other, Jerome Bonaparte said, "Franz, don't you have anything to say to me? "
"Why are there Russians in the military parade?" Franz Joseph frowned and said slowly.
Looking at the helpless Franz Joseph beside him, Jerome Bonaparte understood that the current Franz Joseph wanted to accuse him of treachery and dragged the Austrian Empire into the water, but he was afraid that he would offend him and Albert too much. , thus falling into a state of isolation and helplessness.
"It is normal for the Russians to appear at the military parade!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Franz Joseph in a eloquent manner: "It's like the generals of ancient Rome who want to pull the soldiers of the defeated country. As with the exhibition in Rome, we also need to show the public what we have done in Sevastopol."
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte in a slightly scolding tone.
Jerome Bonaparte responded to Franz Me Joseph with an innocent face: "I thought you should know! The military parade is supposed to be like this!"
"That's right? That's what the military parade should do!" Prince Albert also chimed in.
In the face of Jerome Bonaparte and Albert's arrogant words, Franz Joseph felt humiliation in his heart.
"Franz, doesn't your Austrian Empire want to stand with us and the Kingdom of Britain?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Franz Joseph in mock shock.
"Of course not!" Although Franz Joseph resented that Britain and France pushed him and the Austrian Empire into the fire pit without notifying him, in the face of the political correctness of anti-Russia, Franz Joseph still did not dare to Stand together with English and French.
"Since the Austrian Empire declared war to stand with us, then why are you afraid of those Russian soldiers!" Jerome Bonaparte asked with a strong attitude.
"We are not ready!" replied Franz Joseph to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Not ready? Prepare for what?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Franz Joseph after being stunned for a few seconds.
"We are not ready for a war with the Russian Empire!" Franz Joseph replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Our weapons and equipment are still in a state of upgrading, and our finances are almost bankrupt... "
After Franz Joseph revealed his family background, Jerome Bonaparte and Albert looked at each other. Although they repeatedly lowered the expectations of the Austrian Empire, they really did not expect that the finances of the Austrian Empire would actually stretch their hips. to this point.
"You guys are just mobilizing!" Albert responded to Franz Joseph in a lost tone.
"That mobilization cost the empire 50 million florens, plus the previous war with Prussia! Our finances can't support a decent war in a short period of time!" Franz Joseph said gloomily. said Jerome Bonaparte.
Prince Albert hurriedly asked Franz Joseph if he was willing to accept a military loan with lower interest than bonds.
"Mr. Albert! If the Kingdom of Britain is willing to lend us a loan to develop our industry, we are willing to accept it! For military matters..." Franz Joseph hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid we won't accept it!"
"It is not impossible for industrial loans!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Franz Joseph in the surprised eyes of Prince Albert: "How much loan does the Austrian Empire need!"
"3...500 million francs!" Franz Joseph responded with five fingers to Jerome Bonaparte.
"500 million francs! This is not a small amount!" Jerome Bonaparte pondered for a moment, then said to Franz Joseph: "France is willing to provide the Austrian Empire with a low-interest loan of 500 million francs. However, part of the loan will be sent to the Austrian Empire in the form of technology! I don't know if the Austrian Empire is willing to accept it!"
Franz Joseph remembered that Prince Metternich had told him that industrialization depends not only on capital, but also on technology, neither of which is needed. He nodded and replied, "Of course!"
"However, the Austrian Empire needs to promise us a condition!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Franz Joseph.
"What conditions?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Albert, you don't need to have such a big psychological burden, I will always stand with you!"
Queen Victoria grabbed Prince Albert's hand and said affectionately.
