Make France Great Again

When Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte what conditions he wanted, Jerome Bonaparte immediately understood that Franz Joseph was already interested. A low-interest loan of 500 million francs was enough for any monarch. Bow for it.

However, after Franz Joseph said this, he added: "If France wants the Austrian Empire to join the war as a condition for the loan, then please forgive me for not agreeing!"

"Don't worry! This is not our condition!" Jerome Bonaparte said slowly: "The Austrian Empire only needs to make some noise in the Danube Principality, such as holding a military exercise or the like, to attract people in the border area. The attention of the Russian army is enough! You can leave the rest alone!"

"The military exercise is very likely to turn into a war!" Franz Joseph said to Jerome Bonaparte worriedly: "Please forgive me..."

Before Franz Joseph could finish speaking, Jérôme Bonaparte interrupted Franz Joseph rudely and said: "Franz, my brother! How can there be anyone in this world who does not take risks?" The Austrian Empire can't do this or that good thing that can bring benefits. It's hard for us to believe that the Austrian Empire sincerely wants to form an alliance with us!"

"Yes!" Prince Albert once again supported: "It can't be possible. Our two countries are fighting desperately for peace in Europe! The Austrian Empire does nothing and just follows behind us to enjoy what we bring. Come and enjoy the benefits!”

"I'm just asking you to hold a military exercise in the border area. I'm not asking you to confront the Russian Empire!" Jerome Bonaparte once again spoke to dispel Franz Joseph's concerns.

He told Franz Joseph that if he was really worried that the Russian Empire would launch an attack on the Austrian Empire because of the Austrian Empire's exercises on the Russian-Austrian border, Britain and France could provide guarantees for the Austrian Empire. As long as Russia attacks the Danube Principality, Britain and France will form an intervention army as soon as possible to help them jointly resist the invasion of the Russian Imperial Army!

After his worries were eliminated, Franz Joseph recalled the industrialization prospects described to him by Prince Metternich, and also thought of the low-interest loan of 500 million francs that Jerome Bonaparte promised him.

"Okay! I promise you!" Faced with the temptation of low-interest loans, Franz Joseph finally agreed to the conditions of Jerome Bonaparte and Albert. He turned his attention to Prince Albert and said: "Mr. Albert, I hope Britain can also provide us with a loan of the same size as France to help build the Austrian Empire!"

Prince Albert hesitated for a moment, and then tactfully expressed to Franz Joseph that the rights he had could only provide the Austrian Empire with a loan of eight million pounds, which was converted into francs, which was about 200 million francs!

"Okay!" Franz Joseph nodded to Prince Albert.

Later, Franz Joseph proposed 100 million to Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Albert in response to the fact that "the Russian Empire may launch a war with the Austrian Empire because of the Austrian Empire's military exercises in the Danube Principality" Military loan request.

Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Albert agreed to Franz Joseph without hesitation.

After all, if the Russian Imperial Army really chooses to attack the Danube Principality, the Austrian Empire's 400,000 troops will become their most loyal allies, and the time to defeat the Russian Empire will be greatly advanced.

After discussing the business, Jérôme and Bonaparte walked out of the back room. Queen Victoria spoke first: "Have you finished discussing it?"

"It's over!" Prince Albert responded to Queen Victoria.

"Then it should be ready to serve now!" Augusta asked Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Have you not eaten yet?" Jerome Bonaparte said with a surprised look on his face.

"Not yet!" Augusta shook his head.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's serve the food!" Jerome T. Bonaparte gave the order to the attendant standing at the gate.

The attendants hurried to the back kitchen to pass the dishes, and Jérôme and Bonaparte sat directly opposite the Augusta trio.

After a while, several attendants entered the room pushing small trolleys made of wood. Each trolley was divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. Each layer had one or two dishes, and the top layer also had one. Unopened bottles of Bordeaux wine and whiskey.

The waiter placed the dishes on the trolley in front of Jerome Bonaparte. In front of everyone, there were 5 dishes (caviar, French snails, foie gras...) and a bottle of Bordeaux wine and whiskey. .

"Wine or whiskey?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Prince Albert and Franz Joseph.

"Whiskey (Albert)/Wine (Franz Joseph)" Prince Albert and Franz Joseph replied one after the other.

Immediately, Prince Albert and Franz Joseph looked at each other and smiled.

"Where are you! Beautiful ladies?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Augusta and the others.

"I'd better forget it!" Queen Augusta, who was pregnant, shook her head and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"I don't want it either!"

"Me too!"

Victoria and Elizabeth said.

Jérôme Bonaparte hesitated for a few seconds, his eyes constantly swaying between wine and whiskey, and finally chose wine.

The attendant opened the whiskey and wine respectively and poured wine into the glasses of the three monarchs.

A glass of dark yellow whiskey and two glasses of scarlet wine were placed on the dining table, and Jerome Bonaparte made an inviting gesture.

Prince Albert and Franz Joseph took away their own wine, and Jerome Bonaparte also placed the wine in front of them.

"May the friendship between our three countries last forever, and I also wish you and your partners good health and eternal happiness!"

Jerome Bonaparte stood up, raised his glass and said to Prince Albert and Franz Joseph.

Prince Albert and Franz Joseph also stood up and raised their wine glasses. The three goblets collided with each other and made a crisp and sweet sound. Then the three of them slowly sat down and drank the wine in the glasses. !

The entire banquet lasted for an hour and a half. The three people who had eaten and drank enough left the castle in the carriage that had been prepared.

Albert and Queen Victoria returned to the Louvre, Franz Joseph and Princess Elisabeth returned to the Tuileries Palace with Queen Augusta, while Jerome Bonaparte went to the military camp alone.

Shortly after Franz Joseph dragged his slightly drunk body into the room, a knock on the door came from outside the room.

"Who?" Franz Joseph, who was sitting on the sofa, asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, it's me!" Prince Metternich's voice came through from outside the room.

"The door to the room is unlocked! Come in!" Franz Joseph responded to Prince Metternich.

Prince Metternich entered the room and came to Franz Joseph. He bowed to Franz Joseph and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

"Mr. Metternich, sit down!" Franz Joseph stretched out his hand and said to Prince Metternich.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prince Metternich straightened his body and responded to Franz Joseph. Then he sat next to Franz Joseph and explained: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about the French Empire's military parade. And there are prisoners of war from the Russian Empire! If I had known this was the case, I would have said nothing to let you participate!"

"Mr. Metternich, this happened a few hours ago! I was indeed a little angry at first, but now I am not angry anymore!" Franz Joseph waved his hand and said to Prince Metternich.

Hearing Franz Joseph's answer, Prince Metternich breathed a sigh of relief. He did not want the Arcane Synergy that he had worked so hard to maintain to become a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror because of this incident.

"Just now Jérôme and Albert promised me that France and Britain will provide the Austrian Empire with low-interest loans of 500 million francs and 8 million pounds respectively in the next few years!" Franz Joseph said in a tone of voice He said excitedly to Prince Metternich.

Looking at Franz Joseph's cheeks that were flushed from alcohol, Prince Metternich wondered whether his emperor was talking drunkenly.

Are Britain and France willing to provide low-interest loans to the Austrian Empire free of charge? Thinking about it makes me feel a bit unreliable!

"Your Majesty, didn't His Majesty Jerome and Prince Albert add other conditions to this loan?" Prince Metternich asked tactfully.

He was a little afraid that Franz Joseph would be dug and buried by Jérôme Bonaparte and Albert.

"They said that the Austrian Empire must hold a military exercise in the Danube Principality to put a certain amount of pressure on the Russian Empire! Only in this way will they be willing to provide assistance to the Austrian Empire!" Franz Joseph reluctantly suppressed the urge to burp and said to Mei Prince Tene responded.

The conditions are not outrageous! Prince Metternich finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it!" Prince Metternich said to Franz Joseph.

"What advice?" Franz Joseph asked curiously.

Prince Metternich told Franz Joseph that once the military parade reaches the ears of Nicholas I, Nicholas I will definitely be angry because of the complete betrayal of the Austrian Empire. The relationship between the Austrian Empire and the Russian Empire The relationship will also change from friends to enemies.

Since it was useless to repair the relationship between Russia and Austria, the Austrian Empire simply used the prestige of the French Empire to make the Russian Empire surrender.
