Make France Great Again

Chapter 999 Chaotic Diplomacy

Thinking of this, Richard Metternich frowned unconsciously. He knew that he had to report the news to Jerome Bonaparte.

If the Kingdom of Sardinia really dared to do this, Richard Metternich was sure that Emperor Jerome Bonaparte would tear them apart immediately without the Austrian Empire taking action.

So, while Richard Metternich handed the telegram back to the attaché of the embassy, ​​he told the attaché of the embassy, ​​"I must go to the Tuileries Palace immediately. You first send a telegram to Vienna to let our army Don’t act rashly!”

"Ambassador Richard, it has been less than 12 hours since we officially started war with the Kingdom of Sardinia. Isn't it a bit bad to ask for a ceasefire now!" the embassy attaché cautiously suggested to Richard Metternich. .

"There's nothing wrong with that!" Richard Metternich shook his head and resumed to the embassy attaché, "You can say in the telegram that the French Empire did not fully side with us regarding our war with Sardinia. I'm afraid the consequences of starting a war rashly will not be very good!

Moreover, I just met with the French Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte. The French Emperor is planning to lend us another 600 million francs in low-interest loans! "

When the embassy attaché heard about the low-interest loan of 600 million francs, his eyes lit up. The objections that had been brewing in his mind disappeared without a trace in an instant under the attack of 600 million francs of silver bullets.

No one in this world can refuse money. If someone can refuse, it only proves that money is not enough.

Just like the current embassy attaché, tens of millions of francs may not be taken seriously by him, but hundreds of millions of francs are enough to make him bend.

Principles and military morale without the support of money are nothing but castles in the air. Today's Austrian Empire happens to need a lot of investment.

"I will report right away!" the embassy attaché replied to Ambassador Richard Metternich without any hesitation.

"That's right! You don't need to tell His Majesty Emperor (Franz Joseph) the amount of the loan. Just tell him that His Majesty Emperor Jerome Bonaparte is prepared to make large-scale investments in Austria."

"Understood!" The military attache of the embassy quickly bowed to Richard Metternich, and then watched Richard Metternich leave the embassy.

Richard Metternich, who left the embassy again, quickly waved to the embassy. Soon, a carriage stopped in front of Richard Metternich.

"Mr. Ambassador, may I ask where you are going?" the carriage driver said to Richard Metternich in front of him with a respectful attitude.

"Please send me to the gardens of the Tuileries Palace, thank you!" Richard Metternich slipped into the carriage and responded to the carriage driver.

"Okay!" The carriage driver took action quickly.

The carriage galloped along the Seine River, then crossed the cross bridge of Paris Island in the middle of the lake, arrived near the Champs Elysées, and finally arrived at the outskirts of the gardens of the Tuileries Palace.

"Mr. Ambassador, the gardens of Tuyinleli Palace have arrived!" the carriage driver shouted into the carriage.

Richard Metternich, who was sitting in the carriage with his head propped up on his hands, replied dully, "I know!"

Immediately afterwards, Richard Metternich slowly got out of the carriage, then took out the silver coins and handed them to the carriage driver.

Just when the driver was about to give change, Richard Metternich turned around and left, and said to the driver who was counting the copper coins with his head down, "You don't need to give change for the remaining money!"

After hearing this, the carriage driver stopped what he was doing, looked at Richard Metternich who was drifting away in the distance, and whispered, "I really hope we can get a few more orders!"

After saying that, the carriage driver smiled to himself and then rode away.

On the other hand, Richard Metternich, who walked straight ahead from the garden of the Tuileries Palace, quickly arrived at the gate guarded by two soldiers. Behind the iron gate was the Tuileries Palace.

After seeing Richard Metternich, the two soldiers hurriedly saluted Richard Metternich and said, "Ambassador Richard!"

Richard Metternich also smiled and nodded to the two soldiers, then pointed to the Tuileries Palace behind the two soldiers and said: "Can you please open the door and let me in!"

"Of course, please come in!" The two soldiers said to Richard Metternich in unison, then opened the iron door and stepped forward to let Richard Metternich enter.

Richard Metternich walked along the cobbled road and soon arrived at the steps of the main entrance of the Tuileries Palace.

Afterwards, Richard Metternich slowly stepped up the steps leading to the hall of the Tuileries Palace and entered the hall of the Tuileries Palace. He saw Basilio wandering in the hall.

Basilio, who was standing in the hall, also saw Richard Metternich entering the hall at this moment, with a look of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

Holding it, Basilio slowly asked Richard Metternich what he was doing.

Richard Metternich hurried up to Basilio and told him that he had received a letter from Vienna and wanted to talk to Jerome Bonaparte.

Basilio glanced at Richard Metternich with a deep look, and then responded, "Please come with me!"

Under the leadership of Basilio, Richard Metternich was brought to the door of Jerome Bonaparte's study.

Basilio knocked gently on the door, and soon Jerome Bonaparte's slightly impatient voice came from the room, "Who?"

"Your Majesty, I am Basilio!" Basilio said hurriedly to Jerome Bonaparte.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte's voice came from the room again, "Is something wrong?"

"Mr. Richard Metternich would like to have a conversation with you!" Basilio slowly said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Richard Metternich?" Jérôme Bonaparte slowly put down his pen. He couldn't help but suspect that he had gone back in time and space. He had just met Richard Metternich. Nirvana talked about it!

After thinking carefully for a moment, Jerome Bonaparte was sure that Richard Metternich had been summoned by him.

Then why would he come back? Could it be that something new happened?

With this confusion, Jérôme Bonaparte raised his voice and responded to Basilio, "Let him in!"

"Yes!" Basilio responded quickly, then turned to Richard Metternich and said, "Ambassador Metternich, please come in!"

"Thank you!" Richard Metternich whispered, then pushed the door open and entered.

When the door of the study room was closed again, Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand to invite Richard Metternich to sit down, and then stood and said to Richard Metternich in a slightly joking tone, "Why don't you sit down?" Mr. Chad, less than an hour has passed since the last time we met!

Unexpectedly, we met again so soon! "

"Your Majesty, I have just received a telegram from the Austrian Empire!" Richard Metternich replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Oh? What kind of message?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Richard Metternich curiously.

Richard Metternich told Jerome Bonaparte the contents of the telegram. After hearing this, Jerome Bonaparte's expression changed subtly.

After a while, Jérôme Bonaparte spoke again. This time he put away his previous casual attitude, and instead said to Ambassador Richard Metternich in a serious and stingy manner, "Richard Metternich." Mr. Nie, do you think Cavour might have deceived me on this matter?"

After Richard Metternich thought for a moment, he expressed his thoughts to Jerome Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, I think it is impossible for Cavour to deceive us on this issue. He should know how to deceive the French Empire." cost."

"Since there is no problem with Cavour, you mean that there is a problem with your Austrian Empire's telegram!

"Jerome Bonaparte asked again.

"Your Majesty, there is also no problem with our telegram!" Richard Metternich added.

"Since you said there is no problem with both, then whose problem should it be?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Richard Metternich again.

"Your Majesty, I guess it's probably because of some misunderstanding between Cavour and Victor Immanuel II that it's like this!" Richard Metternich told Gérault M. Bonaparte said something.

"It shouldn't be! Cavour is very valued by Victor Immanuel II. Otherwise, he wouldn't be allowed to come over to negotiate with me in person!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Richard again De Metternich said something.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia is no longer Cavour, but Ramamore! Cavour now only has the position of Foreign Minister!" Richard Metternich reminded.

"You mean the Kingdom of Sardinia doesn't trust Cavour!" Jerome Bonaparte asked again.

"This is unknown!" Richard Metternich shrugged his shoulders and reminded him earnestly, "Your Majesty, I suggest that you call Cavour as soon as possible for questioning.

If Cavour cannot influence the situation in Sardinia, then no matter how much he promises, it will be nothing more than empty talk! "

Richard Metternich’s kind reminder was like a sharp knife in Jerome Bonaparte’s ears. He took a gentle breath and said calmly to Cavour, “Don’t worry! I'll ask Cavour to find out!

However, have you relayed back via telegram what I told you before? "

"Your Majesty, I have relayed everything you said to Vienna via telegram. I believe Vienna will agree otherwise!" Richard Metternich responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Richard Metternich, "Thank you for making the trip!"

"It's not hard! It's not hard!" Richard Metternich smiled and Jerome Bonaparte responded.
