Chapter 571： countries react

"Paris citizens, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to spontaneously come to Paris City Hall Square to participate in this welcome ceremony for my brother Franz Joseph and his fiancee..."

Jerome Bonaparte in front of the Paris City Hall square said to the Parisians in front of the square with a calm tone and confident expression in the open space in front of the square: "The Austrian Empire and the French Empire, my uncle has been a pair since the beginning. Partners who support each other and help each other, we must not forget the help of Prince Metternich and Emperor Franz when the French nation was in the most difficult time... It is precisely because of their righteous speech at the Vienna Conference that my country, Only our nation can stand up as quickly as possible... Perhaps some of you will say that the Austrian Empire is also one of the countries that restricts France.

However, I would like to ask how much harm Austria has done to France compared to the pain that Russia has done to France by those who are trying to provoke France and Austria... (When Jerome Bonaparte was in the When he said every word, the face of the Prussian ambassador in the crowd changed greatly.) Here, I sincerely hope that between the two great countries of France and Austria, I can live to forget all kinds of unhappiness in the past, and join hands to walk into a new world. chapter! "

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte finished speaking, there was warm applause from the crowd.

In the thunderous applause, Jerome Bonaparte bowed slightly to the Paris citizens present, then turned to Franz Joseph with a friendly smile, and extended his hand to invite Franz Joseph to speak.

Facing Jerome Bonaparte's invitation, Franz Joseph had no choice but to take out the speech he was going to give at the banquet.

I saw Franz Joseph unhurriedly walked in front of Jerome Bonaparte and stood side by side with Jerome Bonaparte.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank each and every one of you for being here to welcome me and my fiancée! I am delighted to have been invited by my brother, Emperor Jerome Bonaparte, to visit such a A country with a long history and a prosperous culture..." Franz Joseph spoke to the residents of Paris City Hall in a respectful but not dignified tone, and you could hear Franz Joseph from his mouth. Joseph's feelings for Paris, as if every word and every word were his words from the bottom of his heart, "When I first stepped into the French territory, I felt the enthusiasm of the French. This enthusiasm is shown in the way of reception, The reception I received in France far exceeded my expectations, and I was flattered and apprehensive.

I don't know how I should respond to your enthusiasm, so I can only hope that you will one day travel to Vienna, and let us Austrians also have the opportunity to welcome you in the same way... I am absolutely sure, When it comes to hospitality, Austria is by no means inferior to France. "

Franz Joseph glanced at Jerome Bonaparte next to him, and said in a slightly humble tone to the residents of Paris: "My sincere heart, your emperor and queen, will be able to arrive in Paris one day! I believe that The Austrian people will welcome your Emperor with more enthusiasm as you welcome me!"

After Franz Joseph finished speaking, he followed the example of Jerome Bonaparte and bowed to the Paris citizens present.

In an instant, applause from the entire Paris City Hall Square came like a storm.

Even those who hated the autocratic empire again could not feel disgust for the humble emperor in front of him at this time.

There is no one who doesn't like to hear other people compliment him, especially the person who said this is the monarch of another empire.

Of course, not everyone is willing to hear Franz Joseph's remarks.

On the edge of the square, the Prussian ambassador was looking sadly at Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph in the center of the Town Hall Square.

For the Prussian ambassador, there is nothing worse than the current situation.

Recently, the French Empire and the Austrian Empire are approaching each other at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they are almost on the verge of forming an offensive and defensive alliance.

And Franz Joseph's bow just now was enough to make the Prussian ambassador feel that his world was about to collapse.

As we all know, the Habsburg dynasty was a dynasty that advocated orthodox order even more than the Kingdom of Prussia, and their new monarch was a monarch who was staunchly opposed to compromise with the mob.

It was such a reactionary monarch who bowed before the most revolutionary Parisian citizens.

This also means that the contradiction between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire is far less than the needs of the alliance between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire.

In order to successfully form an alliance with the French Empire, the monarch of the sliding door was even willing to bow to the "revolutionaries" in Paris.

Once the Austrian Empire and the French Empire successfully formed an alliance, the Kingdom of Prussia would never be able to turn around.

During the Napoleonic Wars, the influence of the French Empire's army on the Kingdom of Prussia still remains, and many Prussian soldiers fear the French army even more than the officer's whip.

Not to mention, all kinds of jokes were circulated in the Rhineland, which indirectly affected the morale of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Prussia against the French army.

However, the Prussian ambassador did not know that the sponsor behind these ruffles was Jérôme Bonaparte of the Tuileries Palace, and ruffles were not only popular in the Rhineland, but also in the South German states and the Kingdom of Hanover. Milk is also popular.

Although the Prussian ambassador himself loves Prussia far more than Germany, it does not mean that the ambassador does not have a German dream. He himself hopes to establish a new German confederation that excludes Austria's influence. The structure of this confederation should preferably take the Kingdom of Prussia as the core.

……

Thinking of the possible impact on the Kingdom of Prussia after the alliance between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire, the Prussian ambassador felt a light on his back.

Therefore, he decided to take advantage of the fact that the two countries had not yet completely formed a close alliance, to find Minister De Luiz, let Minister Luiz relieve his pressure, and see if he could get from De Luiz. From the minister's mouth, he could hear the attitude of the French Empire.

If the French Empire really intends to form an alliance with the Austrian Empire, then the Kingdom of Prussia must consider how to prevent the joint suppression of the Austrian Empire and the French Empire.

On the other hand, if the French Empire and the Austrian Empire were just playing together, then the opportunity for the Kingdom of Prussia would come.

So, the Prussian ambassador left the City Hall in thunderous applause from the Plaza de la City Hall in Paris.

And his move happened to be seen by the ambassadors of the Kingdom of Württemberg and the Kingdom of Saxony not far from him.

"Where did you say the ambassador of Prussia left in a hurry?" The Great Saxony asked the ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg beside him in a schadenfreude tone.

As the ambassador of the Kingdom of Saxony, who has lost some ground with the Kingdom of Prussia, no one is more happy to see the Kingdom of Prussia collapse.

"Probably the Dock d'Orsay (the location of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs)!" The ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg said to the ambassador of Saxony unhurriedly.

"It seems that the alliance between His Majesty Franz and His Majesty Jerome has made the Kingdom of Prussia feel threatened!" The Ambassador of Saxony continued to the Ambassador of Württemberg.

"After all, the strongest army in Europe and the oldest family are united, so what country is not afraid of!" The Württemberg ambassador shrugged and said in his usual tone.

"Yeah! The French Empire's movement in the Crimea Peninsula is too fast! I thought it would take the French Empire a long time to occupy a city, who knows..." Ambassador Saxon also sighed, Then he turned to the ambassador of Württemberg and said: "To be honest, I really envy you! The current Kingdom of Württemberg is probably the safest country in Europe! Once Queen Augusta is the heir of the emperor. In the future, I am afraid that there will be no mistakes in the status of Württemberg for two generations! Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor's love for Queen Augusta..."

Speaking of which, the ambassador of Saxony revealed a hint of envy in his eyes He admired the great gamble of the Kingdom of Württemberg very much.

At that time, Jerome Bonaparte's position was not stable, and the unrest in various places had not yet subsided, so many people predicted that Jerome Bonaparte's empire might be overthrown by the next revolution at any time.

Therefore, not many people were willing to marry Jerome Bonaparte. The fact that the Kingdom of Württemberg was able to agree to the marriage under a lot of pressure really surprised the princes of Germany.

With the passage of time, Jerome Bonaparte's position has not been overthrown as they predicted, but has gradually stabilized.

The pressure on the Kingdom of Württemberg also gradually decreased with the stability of the French Empire. Until the beginning of the Crimean War, the pressure on the Kingdom of Württemberg completely disappeared and showed a positive feedback situation.

Many German countries had to indirectly show goodwill to the French Empire through the Kingdom of Württemberg, in order to prevent the French Empire from harming the pond fish.

After the army of the French Empire occupied Sevastopol, the Kingdom of Württemberg was regarded as the incarnation of the French Empire in Germany by the vassal states of South Germany, and the Kingdom of Württemberg was prosperous for the region of South Germany.

"It's nothing! This is just the love of His Majesty and the Queen!" The ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg responded to the ambassador of the Kingdom of Saxony, then glanced at the ambassador of Saxony and said, "Your Excellency Ambassador, you didn't call me here on purpose just for the sake of Say this!"
