Make France Great Again

Chapter 578 War and Peace

Looking at Jerome Bonaparte's leaving figure, Elizabeth fell into deep thought. She didn't know whether she should listen to Jerome Bonaparte's words.

"Hey!" Elizabeth sighed at her unfortunate fate.

At this moment, Franz Joseph's voice reached Elizabeth's ears and said: "Elizabeth, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

Elizabeth was moved when she heard the sound, turned around and showed a fake smile: "Nothing!"

"That's good!" Franz Joseph did not doubt that he was there, and then changed the topic and asked in a low voice: "What did you talk about when you were with the French Emperor just now?"

Looking at the fiancé in front of her who wanted to get to the bottom of things, Elizabeth unconsciously remembered what Jerome Bonaparte had said.

As the saying goes, like son, like mother, his fiancé was so controlling, not to mention his mother. (Here are Elizabeth’s subjective thoughts)

“I talked a lot with His Majesty Jérôme Bonaparte, and he told me how he and Empress Augusta came together, and also said that you were the youngest of all the monarchs he had ever seen! The Austrian Empire will definitely become stronger under your leadership!" Elizabeth lied to Franz Joseph with a sincere face.

Franz Joseph, who had enough trust in Elizabeth, believed Elizabeth's words. A smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and then he took Elizabeth's hand and said to her: "Let's dance the last dance!"

Franz Joseph and Elisabeth began to dance in a new round of music.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was standing on the edge of the dance floor, also had another man beside him at this moment. He was the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg.

"Your Majesty, could you please take some of your time?" the Württemberg ambassador said respectfully to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Of course!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then left the ballroom again with the Ambassador of Württemberg and went to the reception room of the Tuileries Palace to talk.

As soon as he sat down, the Württemberg ambassador took out the gems from his pocket and placed them in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Ambassador, what do you mean by this?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked half-jokingly: "Today is not a special holiday. Why did you give me this?"

"Your Majesty, I did not give this gem to you, but the Ambassador of Saxony asked me to deliver it to you!" the Württemberg Ambassador responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Ambassador of Saxony?" Jérôme Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, then pointed at the gem and asked, "Who is he giving it to?"

"Your Majesty, this is a gift given to you by Minister Nesselrodie! It is said to celebrate the birth of Queen Augusta for you!" The Württemberg ambassador replied to Jerome Bonaparte meticulously, Then he added.

"Empress Augusta is not even close to giving birth, and they have already started sending gifts!" Jérôme Bonaparte made a pun: "They must be a little too impatient!"

"Your Majesty, this quietly proves the power of the French Empire!" the Württemberg Ambassador complimented.

"Then have you told them what I think?" Jérôme Bonaparte continued to ask.

The Ambassador of Württemberg nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I have informed the Ambassador of Saxony that you will not seek peace in the short term! The Ambassador of Saxony asked me to tell you that although the French Empire and the Russian Empire There is a war going on, but there is no hatred between the two countries!

Whenever Your Majesty wants peace, peace will come naturally. "

Jérôme Bonaparte asked the Württemberg ambassador with a surprised look on his face: "Did Neserrodie really mean what he said? Nicholas I, that old stubborn, agreed to unconditional peace talks?"

The Württemberg ambassador shook his head and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte: "I don't know about this!"

Jerome Bonaparte, the Württemberg ambassador, and even the Saxon ambassador did not know that Neserrodie's peace negotiation plan was completely a secret test conducted behind Nicholas I's back.

However, this plan was authorized by Alexander II, Dolgorukov, and Orlov. It can be said that this was a peace negotiation that completely kept Nicholas I in the dark.

If by chance the peace talks succeed, they will jointly force Nicholas I to accept peace talks.

But Neserrodie himself had no hope of success in the first contact. His purpose was just to open a gap for exchanges between the French Empire and the Russian Empire, so that France and Russia could think about each other. When you want peace, you can have peace immediately.

"It's probably an action carried out by Neserrodie and the others with their backs to the Tsar! If I were Nicholas I, I would never hold peace talks at this time!"

Although Jerome Bonaparte did not know the current political situation in Russia, he was still able to make certain inferences based on historical premises.

After listening to Jérôme Bonaparte's inference, the Württemberg ambassador said with a shocked face: "They are so brave!"

"If Neserrodie is behind Crown Prince Alexander, then this behavior is naturally not considered transgression!" Jerome Bonaparte responded calmly: "Crown Prince Alexander himself is not like his father, he is A devout Slavonic Orthodox believer! His thoughts are closer to Britain!"

The Württemberg ambassador looked at Jérôme Bonaparte dumbfounded. He suddenly understood why Jérôme Bonaparte insisted on communicating with these people in person.

Seeing the Ambassador of Württemberg speaking in his heart, Jérôme Bonaparte spoke again: "Mr. Ambassador, a qualified diplomat must not only act according to the situation, but also be good at analysis! The character of a monarch is determined to a certain extent. It affects the direction of diplomacy, especially in a country with an absolute monarchy."

"Your Majesty, you are really a terrible guy!" The Ambassador of Württemberg felt lucky that his country could be close to Jerome Bonaparte.

For a moment, he felt that he was not facing a person but a ghost, the ghost of a cardinal.

"Can I take this as your compliment to me?" Jerome Bonaparte said with a pleasant smile on his face.

"Of course!" the Württemberg ambassador responded to Jérôme Bonaparte without hesitation.

"Okay! I'll accept the gift for Augusta!" Jerome Bonaparte put the gem in his pocket, and then jokingly urged the Württemberg ambassador to prepare the gift.

The Ambassador of Württemberg also responded in a joking tone, Jérôme Bonaparte, saying that his gift would not be delivered to the Tuileries Palace until after the birth of the little prince/princess.

"I'm looking forward to your gift!" Jérôme Bonaparte stood up with a smile and said to the Württemberg Ambassador: "It's getting late! Let's go back to the ballroom quickly!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The Württemberg ambassador also stood up and followed Jerome Bonaparte and left the room.

Jerome Bonaparte, who returned to the ballroom, danced a few more dances at the invitation of several ladies, and gradually the time came to 12 o'clock in the evening.

The dance ended at twelve o'clock, and Jerome Bonaparte, Franz Joseph, and a group of German princes accepted the salutes of the guests before they left.

After all the guests in the ballroom (except those invited to stay at the Tuileries Palace: Franz Joseph, Elizabeth, King William I of Württemberg, and Prince Metternich) have left. Jerome Bonaparte called Mokar over and ordered Mokar to bring Franz Joseph, Elisabeth and Prince Metternich to the prepared room.

"Your Majesty, Princess, Prince, please come with me!" Mokar said respectfully to Franz Joseph and others.

After Franz Joseph and others left, William I said: "Joseph (full name Jerome Joseph Bonaparte)!"

"Father!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded respectfully to the father-in-law in front of him.

"What's going on between you and Emperor Franz's fiancée Elizabeth?" William I asked Jerome Bonaparte in a bad tone.

As the king, William I knew very well what a man with power would do, and he was a little worried that Jerome Bonaparte would do something outrageous.

It would be too bad if the French Empire and the Austrian Empire were at odds because of a woman!

"Father, you don't understand me very well!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and responded to William I: "Am I the kind of person who has no taste?"

William I thought for a while, and indeed, his son-in-law seemed not to be very interested in people like Elizabeth.

"The reason why I am willing to talk to Princess Elizabeth is that I want to cultivate Princess Elizabeth's love for Paris and thereby make the alliance between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire more stable!" Jérôme Bonaparte spread his hands and responded to William I, Then he used Augusta as a shield: "And your daughter is a little worried about Princess Elizabeth, looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com That's why she asked me to support her! A princess with Bavaria's back and a princess with her back Princesses in Paris are treated very differently!”

"My daughter? Why is she helping Elizabeth?" William I was a little confused.

"How do I know this!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and said helplessly: "Maybe this is the friendship between women! Forget it, let's not talk about it! Father, my brother-in-law has the results. Is it done?"

William I glanced at Jerome Bonaparte and said angrily: "How can there be results so soon? Just wait!"

"Ah! How long do we have to wait!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to William I with a grimace.

"I will ask again after returning to Württemberg! That'll be all right!" William I responded to Jérôme Bonaparte with a look of disgust.
