Make France Great Again

Chapter 1014: Austro-British conflict

Victor, the French ambassador to Sardinia, obeyed Jerome Bonaparte's order and sent a telegram to the embassy in Vienna hundreds of kilometers away.

The embassy in Vienna received the telegram half an hour later, and they immediately handed over the content of the telegram to the French ambassador to the Austrian Empire.

After seeing the telegram, the Austrian ambassador showed a dignified look on his face, and asked the military attache beside him, "Quick! Prepare a carriage for me!"

"Yes!" After hearing the order, the military attache immediately started to act, and soon prepared a car for the Austrian ambassador.

The Austrian ambassador then left the embassy and set off in a carriage prepared for him by the aide-de-camp.

"Your Excellency, where are you going?" the driver of the carriage asked the destination of the Austrian ambassador.

"Schönbrunn Palace!" The Austrian ambassador calmly responded to the driver.

After hearing this, the driver hurriedly replied, "Okay! You sit still!"

After speaking, the driver waved the whip to urge the horse to start to move, and the horse accelerated forward as expected.

With the skillful skills of the driver, the carriage arrived at the square outside the Schönbrunn Palace very quickly.

The Austrian ambassador who got off near the fountain in the square quickly entered Schönbrunn Palace and found the director of Schönbrunn Palace who was in charge of arranging the emperor's itinerary.

"Mr. Ambassador, His Majesty the Emperor is currently talking with ambassadors from other countries! Please wait a moment!" Guan Ah, who was in charge of arranging the emperor's itinerary, first smiled apologetically at the (French ambassador to) Austria, and then explained to him.

"Ambassadors from other countries." The French ambassador muttered in a low voice, and then asked in a low voice, "Mr. Steward, can you tell us some news!

His Majesty Franz Joseph is communicating with the ambassador of which country! "

After the butler glanced at the French ambassador, he replied blandly, "It's okay to tell you! It's the British ambassador who is meeting His Majesty!"

The French ambassador was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a grateful look, "Thank you for your answer!"

"Nothing!" The steward shook his head, then flipped through a few pages of the itinerary and asked, "That's right! Mr. Ambassador, what are you doing here now? In my itinerary, there is no news that you want to meet His Majesty today." ! Did you come to Schönbrunn Palace on a whim today?"

The French ambassador nodded and responded to the steward, "Indeed! I am submitting a telegram to His Majesty Franz Joseph by order of His Majesty the French Emperor Jerome Bonaparte!"

"Where is the telegram now?" the butler asked curiously.

The French ambassador pointed to his pocket and said with a serious expression, "I must see His Majesty Franz Joseph with my own eyes before I can deliver this message to him!"

The steward invited the French ambassador to sit down, and responded to the French ambassador, "You sit here for a while, and when your Majesty is free, I will come and inform you!

Of course, if you really have something you can't wait for! If you want to deal with things, you can wait for a while and come back! "

After the butler left, the French ambassador sat quietly on the chair without saying a word.

The butler who left the room quickly walked to the room where Franz Joseph was talking with the British ambassador.

At this moment, Franz Joseph, the emperor of the Austrian Empire, was having a heated conversation with the British ambassador,

The British ambassador expressed to Franz Joseph in an almost threatening tone that the Kingdom of Britain expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of the Austrian Empire in the Kingdom of Sardinia recently.

And Franz Joseph told the British ambassador in a calm tone that the reason why the Austrian Empire did this was entirely for the sake of the entire Apennine Peninsula. The Kingdom of Sardinia must be under the supervision of the Austrian Empire. doctrine is completely abolished.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Sardinia has expelled all extreme nationalists!" The British ambassador said to Franz Joseph, "The Austrian Empire does not need to go to the Kingdom of Sardinia again!"

"Your Excellency, arresting ultranationalists in Sardinia is like trying to catch fish thieves with a cat!" Franz Joseph replied righteously to the British ambassador, "I have sufficient evidence It shows that the ultra-nationalists in the Kingdom of Sardinia have some inseparable relationship with their government!

If we can't reorganize the Kingdom of Sardinia, then this ultra-nationalist will be revived! "

"Your Majesty, even if extreme nationalism still exists in the Kingdom of Sardinia, this cannot be a reason for the Austrian Empire to damage the sovereignty of other countries!" The British ambassador replied to Franz Joseph.

"Your Excellency, why didn't you say this sentence a few years ago (1848)!" Franz Joseph asked with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Years ago? I don't understand what you mean?" said the British ambassador puzzled.

"When the Kingdom of Sardinia invaded our land Lombardy and Venice on its own initiative in 1848, the attitude of the Kingdom of Britain seemed to be to persuade us to give up these two lands!" Franz Joseph replied to the British ambassador, "Why is Britain now The attitude has undergone another 180-degree change!

Why allow the Kingdom of Sardinia to invade us, but not allow me to take the initiative to attack the Kingdom of Sardinia!

Is the diplomatic strategy of the Kingdom of Britain based on the premise of sacrificing the interests of the Austrian Empire? "

"No! We are not sacrificing the Austrian Empire, we are doing this to maintain the balance in Europe!" The British ambassador waved his hand and responded to Franz Joseph.

After hearing this, Franz Joseph laughed even more angrily, "After all, doesn't Britain think that the balance of Europe can be maintained by sacrificing the Austrian Empire!

If Britain really thinks so, then I have to try the weight of the Kingdom of Sardinia! "

Seeing that the situation was gradually approaching the brink of war, the British ambassador had no choice but to say euphemistically that the British Kingdom had always attached importance to the opinions of the Austrian Empire, and hoped that the Austrian Empire could wholeheartedly maintain the "Treaty of 1815."

Franz Joseph said to the Kingdom of Britain again, "The Treaty of 1815, Mr. Ambassador! Take a good look, can Europe still use the Treaty of 1815?

There was no Belgium in 1815, Finland and the nascent Kingdom of Poland were also under Russian rule

Are you ready for the Netherlands to annex the Kingdom of Belgium, Finland and the nascent Poland to the Russian Empire? "

The British ambassador was speechless again. Of course he understands that it is basically impossible to ask all countries to abide by the 1815 treaty?

However, the Conservative Party cabinet represented by Derby did not think so. The British ambassador also expressed the hope that the Austrian Empire would abide by the 1815 Treaty under the remote command of the Derby cabinet.

Just when the British ambassador and Franz Joseph fell silent, there was a knock on the door, and Franz Joseph said to the door, "Come in!"

The butler cat entered the room with a cat body, and then came to Franz Joseph's side.

"What's wrong?" Franz Joseph asked the housekeeper.

"Your Majesty, the French ambassador is here!" the butler whispered in Franz Joseph's ear.

"Okay! I understand!" Franz Joseph nodded and responded to the butler, "You go down first!"

After the steward left, the self-aware British ambassador also understood that it was time for him to leave.

"Mr. Ambassador, I have other important matters, so I won't leave you alone!" Franz Joseph said to the British Ambassador without any apology on his face.

"Your Majesty, I hope you can think about it carefully!" The British ambassador bowed to Franz Joseph again.

After the British ambassador left, the butler reappeared in front of Franz Joseph and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to call the French ambassador over now?"

"Yes!" Franz Joseph responded calmly.

After receiving the order, the butler quickly returned to the French ambassador's location and told the French ambassador the news.

Under the leadership of the steward, the French ambassador quietly followed behind him.

After a while, the steward suddenly stopped and turned to look at the French ambassador and said, "Mr. Ambassador, just now His Majesty has had a very unpleasant dispute with the British ambassador!

Your telegram should not be bad news! "

"Don't worry!" The French ambassador responded to the steward with a smile, "My telegram will definitely satisfy His Majesty!"

"That's good!" The butler nodded, then turned and walked forward.

Soon, the two came to a room, and the butler said to the French ambassador, "Your Majesty is inside!"

Saying yes, the butler opened the door, and the French ambassador quickly entered the room, then bowed and said to the monarch in the distance, "Your Majesty!"

"Mr. Ambassador!" Franz Joseph, who was sitting on the desk, glanced at him and stretched out his hand to invite ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Come and sit down! "

"Yes!" The French ambassador quickly came to sit down in front of Franz Joseph.

Afterwards, Franz Joseph leaned back slightly, and asked in a relaxed posture, "Tell me! What's the matter?"

The French ambassador hurriedly took out the folded telegram from his pocket, and respectfully handed it to Franz Joseph.

Franz Joseph picked up the telegram and opened it slowly, while listening to the French ambassador say, "Your Majesty, my lord Jerome Bonaparte hopes that you can go to Milan in the near future to discuss with him the settlement of the dispute between the Kingdom of Sardinia and The problem of the Apennine Peninsula."

Franz Joseph opened the telegram, looked it over carefully with his head down, and fell into deep thought.

I don't know how long it took, Franz Joseph raised his head again and solemnly said to the French ambassador, "Please tell your majesty that I will go to Milan in person in the near future!"
