Make France Great Again

After Emperor Franz Joseph set the diplomatic red lines of the Austrian Empire at Schönbrunn Palace, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military of the entire Austrian Empire began to operate.

The diplomatic team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, headed by Count Bauer and supplemented by Advisor Metternich, successively submitted a formal 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 against the French Empire's dragging the Kingdom of Sardinia into the war. They claimed that France's action would cause the entire Apennine Peninsula to fall into chaos, thereby affecting the peace of southern Europe. (In fact, there is an unofficial document written by Prince Metternich himself and handed to his servant, who passed it to Richard Metternich. The content of this document can be said to directly overturn the document submitted by the Austrian Empire. Official document to the French Empire.)

However, in the documents submitted to the Russian Empire, the Austrian Empire used a completely different attitude to politely plead with the Russian Empire to withdraw from the two Danube Principalities. Only when the Russian Empire withdraws from these two areas can the Austrian Empire have the opportunity to help the Russian Empire with the Britain and France mediated.

On the other hand, the military representatives headed by Minister Hess went north to the Kingdom of Prussia to meet with the Regent of the Kingdom of Prussia, William I (Frederick William IV had not yet awakened. As the regent, William I controlled the internal and external political situation in Prussia. Of course, there is also a conspiracy theory that Frederick William IV was assassinated by the Junker nobles in the Kingdom of Prussia because of his liberal ideas, and Prince Shotgun, who pleased the Junkers, was brought on stage.) Discussion Countermeasures.

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

After all, no matter Britain, France, Russia, or Prussia, they could not ignore a first-class power with more than 400,000 standing troops.

Even though the Russian Empire hated the Austrian Empire for its treacherous behavior, it still had to send a special envoy (Count Orlov, Director of the Third Section) to the Austrian Empire to try to work through the Austrian Empire so that they would no longer oppose Russia. empire. A high-profile claim was made that the alliance between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia was to rekindle the revolutionary flames of the Apennine Peninsula. Napoleon III/IV (Jerome Bonaparte), like his uncle, was a man who wanted to overthrow The devil of monarchy. The Russian Empire hopes that certain countries (the Kingdom of Britain) can see the true face of the French Empire as soon as possible and rejoin the family of orthodox monarchy. The Russian Empire will still give certain countries corresponding treatment according to the previous plan to divide the Ottoman Empire.

As for the French Empire, since the Austrian Empire clearly submitted a document of protest to the French Empire, the British Ambassador to France, Lord Cowley, immediately took action.

Lord Cowley first went to the Foreign Office and expressed to Minister de Ruys that the Kingdom of Britain protested against the French Empire's move to draw the Kingdom of Sardinia into the war against the Russian Empire.

Lord Cowley claimed that France blatantly dragged the Kingdom of Sardinia into a war in the Near East without notifying the Kingdom of Britain. The first is a distrust of the Kingdom of Britain as an ally. Since France and Britain have already concluded a military alliance, they should maintain close communication and should not establish a smaller one under the military alliance. Military alliance. Secondly, Lord Cowley also believes that drawing the Kingdom of Sardinia into the war is likely to involve the Apennine Peninsula, which was originally at peace, into war again.

Therefore, Lord Cowley hoped that the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia should be suspended 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 Ruys said: As long as the Kingdom of Britain can fill the vacancies of soldiers in the Kingdom of Sardinia, the French Empire will agree to the request of the British King.

After all, the French Empire currently has only about 80,000 troops in the Varna region (First Division, Second Division, and Third Division), while the Russian Empire has a full 180,000 troops in the Danube region (an exaggeration). The French Empire must do its best It is possible to transport more troops to Varna, only this French Empire can confidently fight the Russian Empire.

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

When Lord Cowley arrived at the Tuileries Palace, he met the diplomatic ambassador of Württemberg.

The two people facing each other greeted each other with smiles, and then left.

However, the appearance of the Württemberg diplomatic ambassador at the Tuileries Palace really aroused a doubt in Lord Cowley's heart.

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

With all kinds of doubts, Lord Cowley, led by Mokar, came to Jerome Bonaparte.

Gu Qi/span Jérôme Bonaparte first asked Lord Cowley why he wanted to meet him in such a hurry.

Lord Cowley immediately replied to Jerome Bonaparte that the reason why he was anxious to meet with him was because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the leadership of Minister de Ruys was unwilling to give a positive opinion on the issue of participation in the Kingdom of Sardinia. reply.

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

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! What you do will cause the whole of Europe to fall into greater turmoil! The Austrian Empire is likely to stand against us because of the issue of Sardinia! By then, the entire German region may become Our enemy!" Lord Cowley said to Jerome Bonaparte in an excited tone.

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

madman! This is a lunatic!

Lord Cowley's expression suddenly changed. He felt that he was no longer facing a rational monarch, but a madman 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 alone. 】

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

From the time when the British Kingdom lost its territory in Europe, continental balance has become the diplomatic concept of the British Kingdom.

If the German region stands together with the Russian Empire to form an alliance, then Britain will inevitably win over France.

"I am very happy to hear Ambassador Cowley's sincere answer! I also sincerely hope that the friendship between the British Kingdom and the French Empire will not fade with the passage of time!" Jerome Bonaparte assured Lord Cowley , "Please rest assured, I will never put the French Empire in that situation! The era when France can challenge the entire Europe alone is gone. The most important thing now is to maintain the balance of the entire European continent. The power of European countries Only by achieving balance can the whole of Europe be in a peaceful and stable situation! The behavior of the Russian Empire is a typical example of destroying the balance of power in Europe and destroying the entire European countries!"

"Your Majesty, I am very glad that you can realize the importance of balance!" Lord Cowley showed a pleased smile, and then pointed out to Jerome Bonaparte that the Kingdom of Sardinia was about to destroy the balance of Britain, France and Germany. Disadvantages.

"The addition of the Kingdom of Sardinia will not be the trigger for Germany to fall to the Russian Empire. Instead, it 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 confused look why he said this.

Jerome Bonaparte simply made it clear that he called the Württemberg diplomatic ambassador here just to split the consensus within the German Confederation.

"I have assured the South German states that the French Empire will continue to maintain good-neighborly and friendly cooperative relations with South Germany! As long as they do not attack France! The French Empire will ensure their territorial security!" Jérôme 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. Find the Book Garden www.zhaoshuyuan.comｍ The German region cannot be united! A loose German Confederation will never take the initiative to launch an attack. In this case, the Austrian Empire, which cannot unite Germany, can only fall to our side."

After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's answer, Lord Cowley couldn't help but admire Jérôme Bonaparte's diplomatic methods, but he did not feel any discomfort with the half-hearted behavior of the German princely states. What a surprise.

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

Since the Holy Roman Empire, it has been a routine operation to lure France into the German region.
