Make France Great Again

Chapter 759: Revealing old scores and shelving disputes

Valewski, who had long expected that the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire would object, was still sitting calmly on his chair. As an arbiter, the more he was at this time, the less able he was to leave directly.

"Since everyone has different opinions on the succession of the Kingdom of Poland, I suggest that the issue of the Polish monarch be put aside for the time being! After we have resolved all other issues, we will discuss the candidate for the Polish monarch! What do you think?" Walewski asked. He suggested in a neutral tone.

As soon as Walewski finished speaking, Earl Ball and Earl Clarendon showed a look of astonishment on their faces. They didn't understand what Walewski was up to. Archduke Maximilian was obviously enthusiastic. People chosen by Rom Bonaparte himself, why did Valewski not side with them!

Manteuffel, Gorchakov and Neserrodie also showed a little surprise. They also thought that France and Austria were on the same front in this matter. Could there be something else going on? What a turn of events!

Of course, the most surprised person present was Prince Czartoryski, who was also confused by Valewski's operation.

Could it be that France is changing its mind again?

"I agree!" Manteuffel immediately agreed with Walewski's opinion.

The best outcome of this matter is that Archduke Maximilian gives up the throne of Poland, and the worst outcome is that Archduke Maximilian ascends the throne.

Since Valewski said to put it aside for now, what reason do they have to disagree.

"I agree too!" Ambassador Gorchakov and Neserrodie also responded.

Valewski then turned his attention to Sardinia, Sweden and the Ottoman Empire.

The three foreign ministers also followed Walewski's thinking and agreed to put it on hold.

In this way, the question of choosing the Polish monarch was temporarily put on hold.

Immediately afterwards, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Sweden stood up and explained to everyone the historical relationship between the Grand Duchy of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden, so he hoped to re-merge the Grand Duchy of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden.

"Mr. Nesserrodie, Mr. Gorchakov, what do you two think?" Valevsky asked Nesserrodie and Gorchakov what they saw.

Now there is no Russian army in the Grand Duchy of Finland. What can the two people think? They can only express their willingness to support the Kingdom of Sweden to re-merge the Grand Duchy of Finland!

However, as the Foreign Minister of Golitsyn's government, Neserrodie euphemistically made a request to Valewski: In order to prevent possible conflicts between the Kingdom of Sweden and Russia, the Karelia region must still be in the hands of the Russian Empire.

"What do you think?" Walewski turned his attention to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Sweden.

"Of course!" The Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Sweden certainly knows that the Russian Empire cannot be too forced on this issue, so the Karelia region has been retained in the Russian Empire.

Subsequently, Ambassador Gorchakov also made a suggestion: Since it is a territorial swap, should the Kingdom of Sweden also return the Kingdom of Norway, which was obtained at the Vienna Conference, to the Kingdom of Denmark?

As soon as this suggestion came out, the Kingdom of Denmark, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a big gift package falling from the sky.

Could it be said that at this Paris Peace Conference, they (Denmark) can not only take back some of the islands occupied by the Russian Empire, but also regain Norway that was lost at the Vienna Conference.

Once Denmark takes over the Kingdom of Norway, it will be equivalent to locking the entire Baltic Sea firmly.

In the future, ships traveling to the Baltic Sea will have to pay taxes to the Kingdom of Denmark before they can pass through. The wealthy life of the Kingdom of Denmark is just around the corner.

Of course, all this depends on what France, Britain and Austria sitting in the seats think!

Faced with Ambassador Gorchakov's ill-intentioned proposal, the Swedish Foreign Minister immediately sent the war to the Kingdom of Prussia, because this would allow them to get the support of the Austrian Empire.

Therefore, the Swedish Foreign Minister angrily told Ambassador Gorchakov that the Kingdom of Sweden not only lost Finland during the Congress of Vienna, but also lost Pomerania.

If you want the Kingdom of Sweden to abandon Norway, you have to let Prussia return Pomerania.

The troubled Manteuffel glanced at the Swedish Foreign Minister with a blank expression. He didn't know whether it was because the sword of the Kingdom of Prussia was no longer strong, or whether it was the Kingdom of Sweden that had drifted away. The problem between the Kingdom of Sweden and the Russian Empire actually burned out. At the head of their Prussian kingdom.

Since the Kingdom of Sweden is willing to raise old scores, Manteuffel also unceremoniously raises old scores.

Manteuffel told the Swedish Foreign Minister that the Kingdom of Prussia could return Pomerania, but they hoped to return the territory lost at the Congress of Vienna, namely Prussian Poland, so that the Kingdom of Prussia would naturally return Pomerania.

This decision was immediately opposed by the Austrian Empire and the British Kingdom.

At the same time, the Kingdom of Saxony also stood up and asked the Kingdom of Prussia to return the Saxon territory they had occupied at the Congress of Vienna.

Seeing that the situation was getting closer and closer to being out of control, Walewski knocked on the table, and the entire hall fell silent instantly.

After a while, Walewski said with a serious face: "Everyone, please calm down! Our peace meeting is to discuss peace in Europe, not to settle old scores with you!

If we follow your approach, the whole of Europe will probably undergo another earth-shaking change! "

Everyone present agreed with Walewski's words in their hearts. If this trend of settling old scores is followed, another war is bound to come.

"As for the issue of Norway's ownership..." Valewski thought for a moment, then turned to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Sweden and said: "Then Norwegian citizens will make their own decisions. What do you think?"

"Okay!" The Swedish minister nodded and replied to Valewski.

Anyway, now the whole of Norway is in their hands, of course they can make the decision on behalf of the entire Norwegian citizens!

"Mr. Gorchakov, what do you think?" Valewski looked at Ambassador Gorchakov.

Ambassador Gorchakov, who originally wanted to muddy the waters, had no choice but to retract his action after seeing Valevsky personally exit.

"Okay, let's move on to the next question!" Walewski nodded with satisfaction.

After nearly five hours of discussion, the meeting was officially adjourned at 7 p.m.

The ministers left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a carriage, and Valewski ordered his state secretary to organize and bind the minutes of today's meeting. He was going to the Tuileries Palace to tell Jérôme the entire story of the meeting. Bonaparte listened.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spent nearly half an hour binding all the contents of the meeting minutes and then handed them to Walewski.

Walewski took the bound contents into his carriage and headed to the Tuileries Palace.

When Valewski entered the Tuileries Palace and found Mokar, the steward of the Tuileries Palace, Mokar told Valewski that the emperor was dining in the restaurant.

"Then please take me to the study!" Walewski decided to wait in the study for the emperor to finish his meal.

"Please come with me!" Mokar took Valewski to Jérôme Bonaparte's study, then turned and left.

After a while, Mokar appeared in front of Valewski again, "Mr. Walewski, your Majesty invites you to dine with us!"

Valewski put the minutes of the meeting on the desk and followed Mokar to the restaurant. When Walewski entered the restaurant, he saw not only Jerome Bonaparte but also Ogu. Queen Star.

At this time, Walewski's expression became slightly embarrassed, and he felt as if he had become a redundant figure.

"Walewski, sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte took a spoonful of soup and pointed to the empty seat on his left to invite Walewski to sit down.

"Yes!" Walewski sat on the left hand side of Jerome Bonaparte.

After a banquet, Walewski felt a sense of exhaustion.

After the banquet, Queen Augusta returned to her room after telling Jerome Bonaparte not to stay up late.

Watching Queen Augusta disappear into the corridor, Jérôme Bonaparte, who had his back turned to Valewski, reprimanded with a hint of anger: "Valewski, I need an explanation!"

Walewski immediately realized that Jerome Bonaparte already knew what happened in the hall, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, please move to the study! I will explain it to you personally!"

"Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and followed Valewski to the study.

"Your Majesty, these are the minutes of today's meeting! Please take a look at it!" Valewski respectfully handed the minutes to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte flipped through the contents of the meeting minutes page by page. Except for the issue of the Polish monarch, Jerome Bonaparte was quite satisfied with the rest of the content.

"Walewski!" Jerome Bonaparte's tone became calmer, "Do you have any different opinions on the issue of the Polish monarch?"

Walewski respectfully told Jerome Bonaparte his judgment. He believed that the issue of the Polish monarchy involved too many countries. Although the French Empire had appointed Archduke Maximilian as the Kingdom of Poland, it could not You should just get off the field and take sides.

Because the French Empire now belongs to the position of arbiter, all interests should be retained under the appearance of "neutrality".

Therefore, the promotion of the choice of the Polish monarch should be left to the Austrian Empire. They can unite other countries to jointly put pressure on the Kingdom of Prussia and Russia to make the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire give up the proposal.

In this case, the French Empire could declare the victory of the Austrian Empire in the name of arbiter.
