Make France Great Again

Chapter 969: suppress the military

"Minister Wayan, what you have done is simply squandering the diplomatic reputation of our French Empire!" De Luis sternly reprimanded Wa.

Vaillant is also not a bully, and he also replied, not to be outdone, "Minister Ruiz, you are doing this for the reputation of your Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and you are disregarding the interests of the French Empire!"

Facing the debate between Minister Vaillant and Minister de Luis, Jérôme Bonaparte looked extremely impatient.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte slammed the document on the table, and Minister Vaillant and Minister de Luis stopped.

Seeing that neither of them moved, Jérôme Bonaparte snorted coldly, and asked in a stern tone, "Is the quarrel over? It's not over, I can lend you the study to continue the quarrel!

When did the quarrel end! When will I come back again!

So you two should be satisfied! "

"Your Majesty, I just said that my remarks were too violent! Please forgive me!" Minister Vaillant sincerely apologized to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my rude behavior just now!" Minister de Ruys also responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte raised his head and glanced at de Ruiss, and then at Vaillant.

Then he sighed helplessly and said to them, "I don't understand, the combined age of the two of you is over a hundred years old, and you are also people who have experienced great storms!

Why were there so no rules just now? Is it because I, the monarch, gave you too much freedom, so that you dare to overstep! "

In the court of the Second Empire, you don't feel the red tape etiquette of the old dynasty and the strict hierarchy.

So that everyone who is invited into the Tuileries Palace can feel like a spring breeze.

Every minister in front of such a court and monarch has more or less indulgence.

"Don't dare!" Minister de Luis and Minister Vaillant lowered their heads to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Hmph! Don't dare! Just dare not!" Jerome Bonaparte snorted coldly, and then changed the subject, "I asked you two to come to the Tuileries Palace because I want you to seek common ground while reserving differences, and to find common ground together. A solution is not for you to accuse each other here!"

De Luis and Vaillant nodded respectively, expressing their understanding.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme Bonaparte turned his attention to Minister Wayan, "Vaillon, since this matter is a suggestion from your Ministry of War, I would like to hear your opinion!

How is your military planning to divide the Kingdom of Morocco! "

"Your Majesty, after careful discussions with the Ministry of War, we think..." Wayan looked around as he spoke, as if he was looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" Jerome Bonaparte asked rhetorically.

Minister Vaillant smiled shyly and asked Jérôme Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, do you have a map of the Kingdom of Morocco?"

"I don't have this thing here!" Jerome Bonaparte said angrily, and then called Bashirio and said, "Go to the Ministry of War immediately and bring a military map of the Kingdom of Morocco. !...Remember, move fast!"

"yes!"

Basilio left quickly after hearing this, and Jerome Bonaparte turned to Minister Vaillant and Minister de Luis, "Let's sit here and wait for a while!"

Minister Vaillant and Minister de Luis nodded one after another. Jerome Bonaparte got up from the sofa, went to the desk, opened the drawer, took out the only remaining box of Havana cigars from the drawer, and then returned to the sofa .

Jerome Bonaparte opened the cigar box, took out two cigars from it, and handed them to De Luis and Vaillant respectively.

The two carefully took the cigar handed over by Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte then threw the matchbox he was carrying on the table, took out another cigar, and sat on the sofa superior.

De Luis and Minister Vaillant quickly reached out their hands to get the matchbox on the table, and finally De Luis took the matchbox first.

He first lit cigars for Jerome Bonaparte, and then lit cigars for Minister Vaillant and himself.

After a while, the whole room was filled with white smoke, but the smoke produced by Havana cigars was not too choking compared with traditional cigarettes.

About 3 or 4 minutes later, Jerome Bonaparte got up again. This time he came to the window, opened the window, and a gust of cold wind blew into the room, blowing away the smog that filled the room. It also made Jerome Bonaparte's slightly drowsy mind become extra sober.

Considering the ages of de Ruis and Vaillant (one is close to 50 and the other is over 50 years old), Jerome Bonaparte, who was standing by the window, turned around and asked de Ruis and Vaillant how they felt, Do you need to close the windows.

De Luis and Wayan shook their heads and said that it is not necessary.

Jerome Bonaparte turned around and returned to the sofa. When he sat on the sofa again, the knock on the door reached Jerome Bonaparte's ears.

"Come in!" Jerome Bonaparte raised his voice and said to the door.

The door slowly opened, and Basilio appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

At the same time, he held a rolled military map in his hand.

"Your Majesty!" Basilio walked to the sofa and spread the military map on the table.

"Minister Vaillant, let's begin!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Minister Vaillant.

Minister Vaillant nodded, and then pointed to Tetouan Road, an important town in northern Morocco, "Your Majesty, after unanimous discussions between our Ministry of War and the Ministry of Colonial Affairs, we believe that France can take the territory north of Tetouan, except for Daniel. Submit to the rule of the Kingdom of Spain!

The rest of the territory will be merged into the province of Algeria and will be under the direct leadership of the French imperial government! "

Looking at the territory that Minister Vaillant gestured with his hand, the corner of Jerome Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly.

If you compare the land drawn by Minister Wayan with the land occupied by the Kingdom of Morocco, you will find that the territory allocated by Minister Wayan to the Kingdom of Spain is less than one-tenth of the territory of France.

Don't say that Spain can't accept such a division, even Jerome Bonaparte himself can't accept it either.

Minister Wayan is not dividing the territory here, this is simply a naked humiliation of the Kingdom of Spain. ....In the territory divided by Minister Wayan, there are only three cities with relatively large populations, and they are Tetouan, Ceuta, and Tangier.

What's more, the Kingdom of Spain itself occupied the city of Ceuta, which is equivalent to saying that the Kingdom of Spain dispatched more than 20,000 troops to obtain only one Tetouan.

If the current leader of the Spanish military government, Prime Minister O'Donnell, chooses to agree to General Wayan, then his prime minister will be considered as the end.

In order to continue to maintain the friendship with the Kingdom of Spain, Jerome Bonaparte would never let O'Donnell come down.

"Minister Wayan, you are humiliating the Kingdom of Spain by doing this!" Jerome Bonaparte bluntly responded to Minister Wayan, "Such a site is out of proportion to their investment!"

"Your Majesty, this battle against the Kingdom of Morocco was completely defeated by the French Empire on its own!

When our army rushed into the palace of Rabat, the army of the Kingdom of Spain had just reached the corner of Tetouan! "Minister Vaillant replied plausibly to Jerome Bonaparte, "I think it is reasonable to divide Tetouan into them!" "

"De Luis, what do you think?" Jerome Bonaparte turned his gaze to De Luis.

"Your Majesty, I still insist on following the original agreement!

Northern Morocco should be handed over to the Kingdom of Spain! "De Luis replied firmly to Jerome Bonaparte, "We cannot break the agreement with the Kingdom of Spain!"

Even if this agreement is only a verbal agreement! The site is gone, you can get it from other places!

Without diplomatic credibility, we will be unable to move an inch!

Your Majesty, I cannot let the good diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Spain be ruined! "

"Minister Luis, you are going to spill the blood of hundreds of French soldiers on a foreign land!" Minister Vaillant once again criticized De Luis.

This time, Jerome Bonaparte reprimanded, "Vaillant, discussing issues should be like discussing issues!

Don't label me indiscriminately, what does it mean to spill the blood of French soldiers on foreign lands!

According to your standards, the Crimean War I led is also evaluated in your mind like this! "

"No, it's not!" Minister Vaillant shook his head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "The Crimean War is actually very different from this war!"

"Different, what's the difference?" Jerome Bonaparte asked rhetorically, "I ceded Poland and part of Finland from the Russian Empire ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and handed it over to Austria and Sweden!

What for? "

Jerome Bonaparte paused for a moment, then continued on his own, "Isn't it for them to stand with us?

What we were able to do in the past, why can't we do it again now!

I have said again and again that our French Empire aims to make many friends and few enemies!

In this way, we can get the support of more countries!

How many times have I said that fighting alone is no longer suitable for this era! "
