Make France Great Again

After beating Cavour, Jérôme Bonaparte continued to devote himself to the life of study, bedroom and dining room. During this period, the foreign ministers of many countries wanted to meet Jérôme Bonaparte. , were all blocked by Jérôme Bonaparte sending Mokar.

The foreign minister had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with Valewski, and the decision-making place for foreign affairs was gradually transferred from the Tuileries Palace back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

As Foreign Minister, Walewski became the busiest person during this period. Not only did he have to discuss with the foreign ministers of various countries while at work, but he also had to present the results of the discussions in detail after get off work. Report to Jerome Bonaparte.

A week passed quickly, and the third Paris Peace Conference began again.

The foreign ministers who participated in the meeting drove a carriage to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just like the previous two times. However, when they entered the hall and saw the names on the round table, they were surprised to find that Valewski, who was originally in the middle, was sitting on the left this time. side position.

At the same time, there is an extra armchair under the portrait!

Just when everyone was surprised, Walewski appeared in front of them. This time he also arrived about 10 minutes earlier than the last two times.

"Everyone, take a seat!" Walewski greeted everyone present.

"Your Excellency Walewski, shall we start now?" Earl Clarendon asked.

"No!" Walewski shook his head and said, "This time, it still starts at 2 o'clock!"

After saying that, Walewski sat at the place where the nameplate with his name was placed.

Everyone also sat in their respective seats, and time passed quickly while waiting quietly.

When the grandfather clock in the hall struck twice dullly, the door of the ambassador's hall slowly opened, and everyone in the hall turned their attention to the door of the hall.

At the door of the hall, they saw Jérôme Bonaparte in military uniform walking slowly into the hall, and behind him were Marshal Pelissier, who became famous on the Crimean battlefield. Marshals Canrobert and Marshal Beaucas, General Niel, acting chief of the French general staff, and General Vaillant, the emperor's aide-de-camp.

Such an all-star lineup made the foreign ministers in the hall feel inexplicably panic. They didn't understand what Jerome Bonaparte wanted to do.

"Ministers, there is no need to panic!" Jérôme Bonaparte seemed to have seen what they were thinking. A kind smile appeared on his face, he raised his hand and said to everyone present: "I am just like you this time. I came here with only a pair of ears!”

Then, Jerome Bonaparte sat on the chair that had been prepared.

"Walewski, you can start!"

Following Jérôme Bonaparte's order, Walewski began the third and final Paris Peace Conference.

Walewski first summarized the conditions drawn up by various countries in the first two games (actually not much different from the treaty drawn up by France and the Russian Empire), and then asked the foreign ministers present if they wanted to add anything, or if they wanted to abolish it. conditions of.

Perhaps because of the presence of Jérôme Bonaparte, the foreign ministers of various countries did not make any supplements. Only Gorchakov raised objections on the issue of Bessarabia's autonomy.

Faced with Gorchakov's objection, Valewski did not speak, but turned his attention to Jerome Bonaparte.

Although the people the emperor said only came with ears, who dares to take it seriously?

Jérôme Bonaparte, who saw Valewski giving the right to speak to himself, pondered for a moment, and then said to Ambassador Gorchakov: "I have an immature opinion here. I don't know Gorchakov." Mr. Koff, are you interested in hearing it?"

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Ambassador Gorchakov said quickly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"First of all, the fact that Bessarabia remains under Russian rule will not change. I think you have no objections!" Jerome Bonaparte asked everyone present.

"No comment!"

"No comment!"

…

Everyone, including the Earl of Clarendon, expressed no objection, and then Jerome Bonaparte went on to say to Ambassador Gorchakov: "However, in order to ease the possible conflict between the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire, There cannot be troops stationed in Bessarabia! There should be no objections to this condition!"

"No!" Ambassador Gorchakov also responded.

Seeing that there was no objection from both sides, Jerome Bonaparte gave his "suggestion", which can also be said to be a ruling.

The Russian Empire still rules Bessarabia and can appoint government officials, police, and gendarmes in Bessarabia, but it cannot establish garrisons in Bessarabia.

It was equivalent to demilitarizing the entire province of Bessarabia.

"What do you think of my suggestion?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked everyone present.

Everyone present unanimously expressed that there was no problem with Jérôme Bonaparte's proposal.

Then, Jérôme Bonaparte once again transferred the right to speak to Valewski.

Walevsky concluded again, and this time Gorchakov raised no objections.

The last meeting of the Paris Peace Conference lasted less than 2 hours and ended with Walewski's solemn declaration.

"Don't leave yet! Let's take a group photo together!" Jérôme Bonaparte then said to everyone present.

So at the suggestion of Jérôme Bonaparte, the Foreign Minister present had to stop leaving and took a photo with Jérôme Bonaparte.

After the photo session, Jérôme Bonaparte invited everyone present to attend a dinner party.

The foreign ministers all agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's invitation, and the dinner time was set at 8 o'clock in the evening.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Jérôme Bonaparte left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with the ministers.

That evening, a grand banquet was held at the Tuileries Palace.

Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta shook hands with each foreign minister warmly and talked.

During his conversation with Count Bauer, the Austrian Foreign Minister, Jérôme Bonaparte remembered what he had promised Cavour.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte called Count Bauer aside and asked him whether the Austrian Empire would make certain concessions on the Lombard issue.

"Your Majesty, what kind of concessions do you mean!" Count Bauer asked Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Can the Austrian Empire hand over Lombardy to the Kingdom of Sardinia?" Jerome Bonaparte asked bluntly.

"Your Majesty, this may be difficult!" Count Bauer said euphemistically to Jerome Bonaparte, "Lombardy and Venice are sacred and indivisible parts of the Austrian Empire..."

"Come on!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded disdainfully, "Lombardy is what you got in exchange for the Kingdom of Belgium. There is nothing sacred or indivisible about it! In the final analysis, you are just not letting the hawk see the rabbit. !”

"Your Majesty!" Earl Baoer responded helplessly.

"Let's do this! What do you think of Silesia?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Count Bauer again.

Could it be that……

Count Bauer swallowed subconsciously, and then Jerome Bonaparte replied dryly: "Silesia is good, but it is now Prussian territory!"

"What happened to Prussia's territory? Can't Prussia's territory be taken back?" Jerome Bonaparte said to Count Bauer solemnly: "I think Silesia was originally the territory of the Austrian Empire! The Austrian Empire You should take back your own territory!”

"Your Majesty, do you want to take action against the Kingdom of Prussia?" Count Bauer swallowed his saliva again and asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"At the moment, there is no such plan!" Jérôme Bonaparte hesitated and then said, "But I won't rule it out in the future. I just want to ask you, Count Bauer, are you willing to take back the lost Silesia!"

"I..." After Earl Baoer hesitated for a moment, he made up his mind and nodded: "Of course I am willing!"

"That's enough!" Jérôme Bonaparte clapped his hands and said to Count Bauer.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Prussia is a member of the German Confederation!" Count Bauer reminded Jerome Bonaparte.

"What happened to being a member of the German Confederation?" Jerome Bonaparte said to Count Bauer: "You will not announce the reorganization of the German Confederation and then kick Prussia out of the Confederation!"

"This..." Count Bauer never thought of reorganizing the German Confederation.

"Think about it, the main reason why the German Confederation was re-established was to protect us from France! Now, our two countries are so good that we can almost wear a pair of trousers. What's the use of keeping the current German Confederation?" Jerome Bonaparte continued to ask Count Bauer, "And now the whole of Germany has been bound together by the Kingdom of Prussia using the Customs Union. As long as the Customs Union exists, the German princes will move towards Prussia day by day. As it gets closer, the Austrian Empire's influence on Germany will become less and less!

For the current plan, only by completely abolishing the German Confederation and the German Zolls Union can the Austrian Empire re-establish its leadership position in Germany! "

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this??" Count Bauer asked Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Mr. Bauer, I don't want a Germany unified by Prussia to appear around me!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Count Bauer with a serious expression, "Its existence will become a powerful enemy of France!

Of course, my main purpose is to leave France with sufficient strategic depth! After Austria defeated Prussia, it was convenient to be in Rhineland France! "
