Make France Great Again

Chapter 153 Drafting Boundary Issues

"Make France Great Again ()"!

"Huh? I seem to have heard some rumors. Are these rumors true? God bless, that is really terrible!"

Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be ignorant, and his tone was also full of doubts, as if he was hearing the news for the first time.

Jérôme Bonaparte's attitude of trying to cover up made Baron Huiber more "convinced" that the French president in front of him probably reached a certain agreement with the Prussian minister, otherwise, the president would never speak with this attitude. It is clear that the President is deliberately covering up his dealings with the damned Prussians.

Thinking of this, a trace of anxiety inevitably appeared in Baron Hubey's heart.

For a qualified diplomat, anxiety is an important obstacle that affects the subjective analysis of things by a diplomat. Once a diplomat falls into anxiety, it is likely to give the opponent an opportunity in language, which will lead to a diplomatic crisis.

As a veteran Austrian diplomat who was deeply influenced by Metternich's diplomacy, he has always harbored deep hostility towards the Kingdom of Prussia, especially during 1848, when he witnessed the destruction of the old German Confederation. Among the ruins of the German Confederation, a new German Confederation emerged from a grassroots team. Of course, they called themselves the Confederation. The new German Confederation was disbanded with the joint efforts of soldiers from Prussia, Austria, and South Germany. Before the Austrian Empire could breathe, the Kingdom of Prussia established another alliance called the "Three Kings Alliance", which was intended to bring Austria Excluded from the German region, thus fulfilling Prussia's ambition to dominate the German region.

He knew very well that in the foreseeable future, the Austrian Empire would inevitably have conflicts with Prussia over the German issue, and small-scale frictions were likely to evolve into large-scale wars.

The support of the Russian Empire was of course essential.

And France is also an important country. If you act rashly without the favor of the French Republic, it will definitely make it difficult for the Austrian Empire.

Ambassador Baron Hubey believed that it was precisely because Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg saw the role of France as he did, that he could win over France as much as possible and make it more inclined to Austrian Empire.

[PS: The war mentioned here is the Omimutz Agreement in 1851. At this time, Prussia and Austria can already smell a strong smell of gunpowder, and the war may start in the Principality of Hesse-Kassel at any time. 】

If France chooses to support Prussia, then all subsequent actions of the Austrian Empire will have to take this variable into account.

Should France form an alliance with Prussia,

In case Prussia declares war on Austria, in case the Sardinian dynasty rebels again with the help of France, in case...if the above happens, the Austrian Empire will probably face a chaotic German Confederation, a coveted challenger (Prussia ), a powerful arbiter (the French Republic) who was not inclined to the Austrian Empire, and a rebel eager to avenge his shame (Sardinia).

Judging from the battle reports of the Russian Imperial Army in Transylvania from the Austrian Empire, the Russian Imperial Army has long been rotten. Once these three forces go to war against the Austrian Empire at the same time, Baron Hubey can be sure that the Austrian Empire It is very likely that it will be defeated again and again as it was during the Napoleonic Wars.

Right now, Baron Hubey, who can't directly confront Jérôme Bonaparte, can only turn to Jérôme Bonaparte based on the ideas and information he has collected in France over the past few days. Bonaparte played the "peace" card. He also showed a surprised expression and said: "Mr. President, we did have some small frictions with Prussia, but I believe that the frictions will eventually pass. Under the leadership of His Majesty La I, His Majesty Franz Joseph, and His Majesty Victoria, peace is ushered in again."

"Mr. Minister, and King Frederick William IV of Prussia! They are also an important link in maintaining peace in Europe!" Jerome Bonaparte "kindly" reminded.

This one further confirmed Huber's judgment that Jerome Bonaparte and the Prussian envoy must have talked about something.

"Prussia?" Hubey made a gesture and said with a slightly exaggerated expression: "With their army defeated in two weeks? Mr. President, I think that maintaining peace in Europe is not as simple as talking about it. A country will listen to a powerless country. The peace of Europe depends on us, and Prussia can only bully the mob."

The Prussia you despise will drive you out of Germany in 17 years! What's more, you can't even beat civilians, so what qualifications do you have to say about Prussia.

Jerome Bonaparte complained fiercely about Baron Hubey.

He knows that qualified diplomats do not shy away from exaggerating themselves and belittling others. Prince Metternich achieved his strategic goals by pulling off tiger skins with one hand, so that the Kingdom of Prussia, a victorious country, had to swallow Metternich The "bitter fruit" prepared for them by the prince himself.

Of course, after the beginning of the industrial revolution, the "bitter fruit" turned into a sweet fruit, which made Metternich and the Habsburg court extremely regretful.

"But Prussia is also a member of Europe, and we can't ignore their demands either!" Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be entangled and said to Count Hubey.

"Your Excellency, I think that instead of satisfying Prussia's demands, we need to restrict them!" The Prussian envoy said solemnly: "In the 150 years since 1700, the expansion of the Kingdom of Prussia has never stopped! If they are allowed to continue to expand, they will surely become a disaster for the whole of Europe!"

"But the Russian Empire is also expanding! Did your country only see Prussia? Your country seems to have been supporting the demands of the Russian Empire!" Jerome Bonaparte immediately pointed out Baron Hubey's theory with conviction.

"This..." Baron Hubey didn't know how to respond to Jerome Bonaparte for a while.

The Russian Empire, as a "traditional" ally of Habsburg, has been working hard to march towards Constantinople. This is undoubtedly the most terrifying thing for Habsburg, which means that they are very It is possible to fall into the siege of the Russian Empire in his lifetime and be forced to become a vassal of the Russian Empire.

The people of insight in the Austrian Empire (for example: Prince Metternich) have been trying to use diplomatic means within the framework of the Holy Alliance to block their footsteps, but after a revolution, all efforts will come to naught.

The Russian Empire has fulfilled its wish to control the Principality of the Danube, and the next step is to instigate the Kingdom of Greece to pierce the Balkan region through internal and external cooperation.

"Our country also does not want to see the Russian Empire attacking cities and lands recklessly. I can assure you that the Austrian Empire will not support the actions of the Russian Empire!" Hubey hurriedly explained to Jerome Bonaparte, and then Added: "Of course, these words come from my heart, and I can only say them in front of a leader with great blood like you! Once I walk out of the Elysee Palace, I will never admit these words."

Based on the subsequent series of foreign policies of the Austrian Empire, Jerome Bonaparte chose to believe the words of Earl Hubey.

The first priority of the Austrian Empire was not defense against France, or even Prussia.

Instead, guard against the ravenous bear to the east of them.

Jerome Bonaparte gave a slight nod to Baron Hubey, and he played the "friendship" card to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Excellency, France and Austria have started from the Bourbon dynasty (referring to Louis Sixteen) became an ally, and experienced the empire founded by your uncle, the restored Bourbon Kingdom, and the Orleans Kingdom, and our country has established good diplomatic relations with them! The Austrian Empire also does not reject the establishment of good relations with the French Republic Diplomatic relations, we are willing to accept the French Republic as a member of the new order and jointly maintain peace in Europe!"

Worthy of being the heir to the opportunists! Even if Metternich has long since left, your foreign policy cannot do without him.

Jérôme Bonaparte silently applauded Metternich's opportunistic, practical diplomacy.

"The French Republic is also willing to establish good diplomatic relations with every country in Europe. We stand under the same blue sky, breathe the same breath, and share the same fate..." Jerome Bonaparte once again copied the past life and made people feel ashamed. Drowsy diplomatic nonsense, and then changed the topic: "France desires peace, but we also do not fear war. Regarding certain historical issues, we hope to discuss with Germany's responsible neighbors. Re-plan the border !"

Jerome Bonaparte finally expressed his ambition in front of the envoy Baron Hubey.

The envoy Baron Huber instantly understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant.

Baron Hubey, who was given full authority to deal with French foreign affairs by Felix Schwarzenberg, immediately said: "The Austrian Empire warmly supports the request of the French Republic. Certain areas to be negotiated do need to be divided."

For Baron Hubey, the land in the German region is not the land of the Austrian Empire, and oral trafficking does not have any psychological burden for him. He also believes that Felix Schwarzenberg, who is far away in Austria, Will definitely agree with what he is doing now.

"If the Austrian Empire is willing to support the demands of the French Republic, then the French Republic is also willing to establish friendly diplomatic relations with the Austrian Empire."
