Make France Great Again

Chapter 996 Joint investigation?

Perhaps because Vidocq Emmanuel II himself did not think that the Austrian Empire would choose to let the Kingdom of Sardinia go, this time he did not lose his composure like last time, but instead discussed it very seriously Launch a joint investigation.

"Mr. Ambassador, does the Austrian Empire think that our Kingdom of Sardinia is suspected of harboring criminals?" Victor Emmanuel II said to the Austrian Ambassador in a calm tone.

"Dear Your Majesty!" The Austrian Ambassador smiled slightly and responded hypocritically to Victor Emmanuel II. "Although I personally very much want to believe that your country will not deceive us on this issue, your country still needs to Just conduct further inspection!

This is all to maintain the security of the Apennine Peninsula. I hope you can understand our behavior! "

"In that case!" Victor Emmanuel II discussed with great seriousness, "Why don't we expand the scope of the joint investigation and include more countries participating in this investigation!"

Victor Emmanuel II's proposal made the Austrian ambassador a little unsure of his idea, "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean!"

"My point is very simple!" Victor Emmanuel II said to the Austrian ambassador with a stern expression, "Since we are trying to prevent Italian nationalism from assassinating the monarchy, why don't we further expand the scope of the investigation!

The Principality of Modena, the Principality of Tuscany, the Papal State, and the Kingdom of Naples should all be targeted for investigation!

Only in this way can we completely eliminate the extremist forces in the Apennine Peninsula!

Moreover, the joint investigating countries should not only be Sardinia and the Austrian Empire. I think more countries should be convened to jointly maintain peace in the Apennines.

I think both the French Empire and the Kingdom of Britain should join in and work with the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia to maintain the harmony of the Apennine Peninsula! ! "

As soon as Victor Emmanuel II finished speaking, the Austrian Ambassador also frowned.

Although there is some truth in what Victor Emmanuel II said, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this action of the Austrian Empire does not mean that it really wants to help the Kingdom of Sardinia deal with the extremist forces.

The purpose of the Austrian Empire is to fight the Kingdom of Sardinia. The so-called elimination of extreme forces is just an excuse.

However, the Austrian Empire has to use this excuse. Even if it is just a fool, it is much better than no excuse at all.

Therefore, after Victor Emmanuel II made this suggestion, the Austrian Ambassador was suddenly put in a dilemma!

"This..." The Austrian ambassador hesitated for a long time and replied to Victor Emmanuel II, "I need to ask this question at home!"

Done!

Victor Emmanuel II couldn't help clenching his fists. For the current Kingdom of Sardinia, the later the Austrian Empire invades, the more beneficial it will be to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

"Of course! Mr. Ambassador!" Victor Emmanuel II replied to the Austrian Ambassador with a smile, and then asked tentatively, "Then the ultimatum between our two countries..."

"I will report to the Austrian Empire as soon as possible!" the Austrian ambassador replied to Victor Emmanuel II, "I will not delay him for a long time!"

"Then please!" Victor Emmanuel II responded to the Austrian ambassador politely.

After the Austrian ambassador later left, Victor Emmanuel II clenched his fists and then made a victory sign.

Today, Victor Emmanuel II barely makes it possible for the Austrian Empire's attack to be postponed in the future. The rest depends on whether the Kingdom of Sardinia can form a final ally.

Therefore, Victor Emmanuel II placed his hopes on Cavour, who was far away in Paris.

[PS: Victor Emmanuel II did not know that Jerome Bonaparte and his wife were not in Paris, and he also did not know that Gafourye was not in Paris. 】

However, Victor Iman

Newel II did not know that Cavour, whom he cherished deeply, was now suffering from a similar predicament as him.

Although Cavour has found the emperor and the queen now, he has never been able to get a chance to meet the emperor.

The reason why Cavour was sidelined was, of course, because of Queen Augusta.

According to the information obtained by Cavour (actually disclosed to him deliberately by Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta), the reason why the emperor was unwilling to see him was because of the influence of the empress.

The reason why the queen was unwilling to let the emperor meet with Cavour was naturally related to the last time the emperor was assassinated by Orsini.

It is said that after the assassination, the queen became extremely disgusted with the Kingdom of Sardinia. She believed that the reason why the emperor was assassinated was entirely because Sardinia failed to manage the Sardinians well.

Therefore, Empress Augusta prevented Cavour from seeing her, and at the same time she was unwilling to allow the emperor to meet him.

Even though Cavour recently tried every means to meet with Jérôme Bonaparte, he only got a verbal promise that "the Queen will return to Paris, goodbye."

Cavour, who had no choice but to wait patiently for his promise to be fulfilled, had no idea that the whole of Sardinia had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

Of course, Cavour didn't know that the Sardinian ambassador was coming in his direction.

When the Sardinian ambassador's carriage arrived near the location of Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta, he quickly found Cavour.

"What are you doing here?" Cavour looked at the Sardinian ambassador curiously.

"Prime Minister Cavour...no, Minister Cavour!" the Sardinian ambassador panted in response to Cavour.

"What happened?" An ominous premonition surged into Cavour's mind. He understood that the Sardinian ambassador was not far away and there must be something urgent.

At this moment, he did not want to hear news about the domestic turmoil in the Kingdom of Sardinia from the ambassador of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, the Sardinian ambassador still reported the recent news to Cavour.

Cavour pursed his lips subconsciously when he heard the Austrian Empire issued an ultimatum to them.

When he heard that he had been dismissed from the Prime Ministership by the King, retaining only the Foreign Secretary, appointing Ramamore as a Liberal, and dissolving the Liberal Cabinet and Parliament, his expression became visibly frustrated.

The reason why he came to Paris in the first place was that he hoped to reach a liberal reconciliation with the French Empire.

Well now, the French Empire does not need to reach reconciliation with Sardinia at all, because Sardinia itself has dissolved its cabinet and parliament on its own.

"How dare they! How dare they!" Cavour paced back and forth, mumbling repeatedly.

"Minister Cavour, what should we do now?" the Sardinian ambassador asked Cavour.

After Cavour was silent for a moment, he gritted his teeth and replied to the ambassador of the Kingdom of Sardinia, "Wait!"

"But over there in Turin...are you really not worried?" the Sardinian Embassy asked Minister Cavour with a worried look.

Cavour shrugged his shoulders and replied with a wry smile to the Sardinian ambassador, "Worry! How can you not worry! But is it useful to say this now? We must meet with His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible!

Only then can we obtain the protection of the French Empire!

Otherwise, what's the use of me going back! "

"Minister Cavour, then we should see His Majesty Jérôme Bonaparte as soon as possible!" The ambassador of the Kingdom of Sardinia continued.

"Of course I know it should be done as soon as possible!" Cavour replied to the ambassador of the Kingdom of Sardinia with a slightly annoyed tone, "But this kind of thing cannot be solved quickly!

His Majesty the Emperor has to summon me! "

"What! Your Majesty didn't summon you!" the Sardinian ambassador looked at Cavour with a serious look.

"No!" Cavour smiled bitterly again, "Your Majesty told me that we can only wait until

After Her Majesty the Queen leaves! Only then will he meet with me, otherwise, Her Majesty the Queen will not agree to meet at all! "

"Why doesn't Her Majesty the Queen agree?" the Sardinian ambassador looked at Cavour in confusion.

"It's not because of the previous assassination!" Cavour sighed and said with a wry smile to the Sardinian ambassador, "The assassination in Orsini really hurt me!

Her Majesty the Queen believes that this prime minister cannot manage the Kingdom of Sardinia, which has caused a series of problems, so she will not agree! "

"Minister Cavour, how should I report to Turin!" The ambassador of the Kingdom of Sardinia asked Minister Cavour again.

"Just say, I am communicating with His Majesty the Emperor, and the results are expected to be available soon!" Cavour said to the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

He understands that the current Victor Emmanuel II is also under great pressure, because Cavour does not want to pass on the pressure from his side to Victor Emmanuel II.

The Sardinian ambassador obviously also knew these worldly things. He nodded and said to Cavour, "Okay! But you'd better meet with His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible!"

"Of course I know that the sooner we meet, the better, but we have to wait until Her Majesty the Queen leaves!!" Cavour said to the Sardinian minister.

In the afternoon after the Sardinian ambassador left, Queen Augusta left the country first in a carriage.

Cavour was also able to be seen by Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte said to Cavour apologetically, "Mr. Cavour, I'm sorry to keep you waiting! Augusta has been reluctant to go back first, so I have delayed talking to you until this time. Meet!"

"It doesn't matter!" Of course Cavour couldn't say anything bad about Jérôme Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, please take time out to meet with me!

I feel extremely honored! "
