Chapter 828 Divide the sphere of influence

Latest website: Facing Franz Joseph’s serious questioning, Jerome Bonaparte also put away his cynical expression and turned to look at Franz Joseph with a serious face.

Franz Joseph knew that Jerome Bonaparte was starting to get serious.

“Franz, we can work together to set a trap for the Kingdom of Prussia!” Jerome Bonaparte solemnly responded to Franz Joseph.

“Jointly set up a trap?” Franz Joseph murmured, and he couldn’t help thinking.

He remembered the words that Count Bauer had said to him after he returned to Vienna from Paris. (Jerome Bonaparte asked Count Bauer if he was willing to attack the Kingdom of Prussia before he left.)

So Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte, “What are you going to do?”

“There is an old saying, if you want to destroy it first, you must first make it crazy!” Jerome Bonaparte said slowly to Franz Joseph, “If you want to sanction the Kingdom of Prussia, you must do so in the Kingdom of Britain. Act without interference.

Once the Kingdom of Britain chooses to intervene, all actions will turn into bubbles.

Because the Kingdom of Great Britain will never allow a country that can withstand Fao and maintain the balance of Europe to disappear. ”

“However, how can the British Kingdom not interfere!” Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte.

“First of all, the kingdom of Prussia must be seduced to destroy the balance within the German region, and then it must be seduced to declare war!

At that time, our two countries will be able to completely wipe out Prussia with the power of thunder! Jerome Bonaparte replied to Franz Joseph, “In that case, the Kingdom of Great Britain can only choose to admit the established facts. ”

“How to seduce the Kingdom of Prussia to break the balance?” Franz Joseph asked again.

“With the development of the Kingdom of Prussia, they will naturally be dissatisfied with their own situation in Germany!” Jerome Bonaparte explained casually, “The new Junkers in the Inland region will complain about the transgression. The Kingdom of Hanover, which is in the middle of the two lands in Prussia, has become an obstacle to their making money, and those Junker military nobles in the east also need military exploits.

In this case, all it takes is a suitable person on stage! They will choose to take revenge on you as they did in Omi Muz in 1851!

As soon as the war between the two sides begins, then France can join the war in the name of protecting the Kingdom of Württemberg!

Help the Austrian Empire defeat the Kingdom of Prussia! ”

Franz Joseph was silent for a moment, and he still did not believe Jerome Bonaparte’s words in his heart, because in his opinion, destroying the Prussian Kingdom and destroying the balance of the German region seemed to be of no benefit to France either.

Was he not afraid that the Austrian Empire would become a formidable enemy of the French Empire after the war with the Kingdom of Prussia?

And Jerome Bonaparte seemed to have already known the confusion in Franz Joseph’s heart, he smiled and said to Franz Joseph: “Franz, let me ask you a question, are you willing to give up the current state of the Austrian Empire? Some regions, and then merged into Germany!”

“No! I won’t do this!” Franz Joseph responded decisively to Jerome Bonaparte.

“That’s good!” Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and said to Franz Joseph, “As long as the Austrian Empire does not give up the territory of Hungary and the Apennine Peninsula, then you will never be able to fully integrate with Germany.

And my bottom line is that as long as the whole of Germany does not have a regime capable of all Germans, it will be fine.

Of course, if you can, part of the territory from the Inland region can also be appropriately given some.

Franz, I told you that the purpose of the French Empire was not to monopolize the power of Europe!

Times no longer allow us to monopolize the power of Europe, because it is hoped that the Austrian Empire will help the French Empire to govern Europe together.

As long as the Austrian Empire is willing, the whole of Eastern Europe, Southern Europe and half of Italy will be your sphere of influence!

The vassal of the German region will be the best buffer between our two countries! ”

Jerome Bonaparte’s words really moved Franz Joseph. As the Habsburg Emperor, he understood that the position of the Austrian Empire was never the hegemony of Europe. As long as they could have a place in Europe, it was enough. .

Now that such a large force of Jerome Bonaparte is trying to seduce him, it really makes his heart beat.

“What should I do when I come to Inland?” Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte.

“We only need to come to part of the territory of Inland to defend Alsace-Lorraine. You can decide the rest!” Jerome Bonaparte responded to Franz Joseph.

“Let me think about it!” Franz Joseph responded reservedly to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Of course!” Jerome Bonaparte replied to Franz Joseph with a smile. He did not believe that Franz Joseph would not be tempted by this condition.

Even if he is not moved, Jerome Bonaparte also has other options.

For example, let some iron-blooded prime minister take office. As long as he takes the position of Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, he is not afraid that the Kingdom of Prussia will not provoke a war.

At that time, Jerome Bonaparte only needs to quickly intervene in the conflict to ensure his own best interests.

By that time, even if the Austrian Empire was able to keep Germany’s position, their Italian territory would probably be over.

Shortly after Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph finished their conversation, Maximilian appeared in front of them and asked, “What are you talking about?”

“It’s nothing, it’s just a casual chat!” Jerome Bonaparte said perfunctorily to Maximilian.

“That’s right! It’s just a casual chat!” Franz Joseph also perfunctory.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph went to the dance floor to dance at the invitation of the lady.

The dance continued until the early hours of the morning, when Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was lying on the bed, soon fell into a dream, while Franz Joseph in another room tossed and turned, making it difficult to fall asleep.

Lisa Yin, who was sleeping beside Franz Joseph, curiously asked Franz Joseph what happened, which prevented him from falling asleep.

Franz Joseph just said perfunctorily, “It’s nothing, I just can’t sleep!”

Yin Lisabai had no choice but to stop asking, and Franz Joseph fell asleep in the haze.

In the dream, Franz Joseph “saw” that he was on the battlefield of Apennine, leading the Austrian army to fight.

On the opposite side of him was a group of troops wearing blue, white and red uniforms. Yes, they were the French army.

Under the attack of the French army like a tide, Franz Joseph soon fell into defeat.

The Four Corners Fortress became their only stronghold in the Apennine, just when Franz Joseph despaired of the Apennine Peninsula.

Opposite France came a message that their emperor Napoleon III was willing to negotiate peace with Franz Joseph.

Napoleon III? Is it Jerome Bonaparte?

Franz Joseph in the dream felt a burst of humiliation, but he still agreed to the peace talks.

When Franz Joseph agreed to “peace talks” with the French emperor, he suddenly discovered that the French emperor on the other side was not Jerome Bonaparte, but a guy older than Napoleon III.

At the most critical moment, Franz Joseph woke up.

Opening his eyes, he panted heavily and made a “huhu” sound.

Yin Lisabai, who was sleeping beside Franz Joseph, asked with concern if Franz Joseph was having a nightmare.

Franz Joseph forbears and calmly responded to Yin Lisabai, “No! It’s nothing!”

The next morning, the three monarchs, Maximilian, Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph, went on a safari outside Warsaw again.

During this period, Franz Joseph secretly looked at Jerome Bonaparte many times, but found that Jerome Bonaparte was very different from the emperor in his dreams.

“Franz, what’s wrong with you? Why are you absent-minded?” Jerome Bonaparte asked Franz Joseph in a low voice while aiming at the distant prey and pulling the trigger.

“No…nothing!” Franz Joseph shook his head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

After the hunting, Jerome Bonaparte and others had a picnic nearby as usual.

This time, Maximilian, citing the lack of armaments in the Kingdom of Poland, asked the French Empire and the Austrian Empire to pull them.

In the end, Maximilian bought 100,000 MTL1842 (modified) and 30,000 Miner rifles in Jerome Bonaparte’s warehouse at a 20% discount, as well as some rifle production lines.

And Franz Joseph also gave Maximilian 5,000 Lorenz rifles as a friendly gift~www.readmtl.com~ Of course, Maximilian’s money for the purchase of rifles and production lines was also loaned by Jerome Bonaparte given to them.

This wave of actions by Maximilian is equivalent to stabilizing the market of the French Empire.

In the next few days, Maximilian invited Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph out to talk for various reasons.

Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph were also willing to go there. After several conversations, the three parties of Faboao basically reached an agreement on the issue of jointly curbing the westward expansion of the Russian Empire.

However, in terms of whether to establish a military alliance to prevent expansion, Franz Joseph and Jerome Bonaparte believe that there is no need to reiterate the intention to contain Russia by establishing a military alliance, because this will lead to a stress response in Russia.

Under the joint opposition of Franz Joseph and Jerome Bonaparte, Maximilian gave up his will to sign a military alliance.
