Chapter 597： Sharpening Bonaparte

"Is the world progressing?" Franz Joseph repeatedly chewed on Jerome Bonaparte's words. This was the second time he heard Jerome Bonaparte say these words. Franz Joseph brought a different feeling, but also brought him a trace of urgency and confusion.

Looking at the contemplative monarch in front of him, Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but patted Franz Joseph on the shoulder and warned Franz Joseph in a teacher's tone: "That's right! We are We are in an era of rapid change! The next century will be different from the previous 18 centuries. It will envelop the entire Europe and even the world at an extremely fast speed. Any individual or group will inevitably be affected by it. , so you have to try to accept it and ride it forward. Only then will you be able to keep your empire from being engulfed by the waves of the future."

In Franz Joseph's eyes, the future is a fog that cannot be seen clearly, which is terrifying. In the eyes of Jerome Bonaparte, the general direction of the future has long been set, and all he has to do is to let the French Empire replace the German Empire in the future general direction. overlord.

Geographically, the French Empire did not need to face the risk of being attacked by two fronts.

As long as it is handled properly, the contradiction between France and Britain and the contradiction between France and Russia will not be like the Weiwei smile in history.

Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help feeling numb in his scalp when he thought of the diplomatic measures of Wei Wei's smile in history.

Being able to turn the British Empire from a potential ally into an enemy, Weiwei's diplomacy can also be regarded as a scorpion's only one!

My son will not be the second Weiwei! Jerome Bonaparte glanced at Augusta's bulging belly subconsciously, praying in his heart that his descendants would not appear as pit bulls like Weiwei.

Otherwise, Jerome Bonaparte could only grit his teeth and learn from the Lafayette of the Great Yin Empire, strive to kill his son and pass the throne to his grandson.

If his son is as pitiful as Weiwei, but his lifespan cannot be as long as Lafayette.

It can only be considered that the Bonaparte family is destined to have no fate with the throne, and it is also a good choice to go to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to become the Grand Duke.

"Why are you telling me this?" Just when Jerome Bonaparte was thinking about it, Franz Joseph's voice reached Jerome Bonaparte's ear.

At this moment, Franz Joseph found that he could not see through Gerome Bonaparte.

To say that Jerome Bonaparte sincerely helped the Austrian Empire! His behavior of persecuting the Austrian Empire by means of threats of war is disgusting!

To say that Jerome Bonaparte only regarded the Austrian Empire as a temporary ally, but he did not need to say so for the Austrian Empire.

Franz Joseph could even hear Jerome Bonaparte's ardent expectations for the Austrian Empire from the words of Jerome Bonaparte.

In Franz Joseph's mind, Jerome Bonaparte has become a contradiction.

"Why?" Jerome Bonaparte tilted his head and repeated Franz Joseph's words, and then said to Franz Joseph: "As an elder, I taught you a little bit of life. Experience it!"

In the face of Jerome Bonaparte's answer, Franz Joseph obviously did not want to believe it, but he did not continue to question Jerome Bonaparte.

"Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte also changed the subject and said, "I've talked about it for so long! The photographers are waiting anxiously! Let's end it as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" Franz Joseph also nodded.

Under the photographer's instructions, Jérôme Bonaparte and others posed.

With the sound of "clicking" coming from the camera, the photographer who covered his head in the red curtain stretched his head out again to Jerome Bonaparte and said, "Your Majesty, it's over!"

"Very good!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded to the camera, then asked the photographer how long it would take to develop the photo.

"Your Majesty, it will take about 5-7 days!" The photographer responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Okay! I hope you can do it as soon as possible!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded.

Immediately, he ordered Mocar to send the photographer out of the Tuileries.

Jerome Bonaparte and his wife, Franz Joseph and Elizabeth left the studio. On the way from the studio to the hall, Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph talked about railways and highways. And suggested that Franz Joseph could use a public-private partnership to complete it, which would save the already stretched funds of the Austrian Empire.

Franz Joseph told Jerome Bonaparte that Prince Metternich also advised him.

"It looks like this! Prince Metternich and I are heroes and see the same thing!" Although Jerome Bonaparte still smiled at Franz Joseph, he couldn't help being Prince Metternich in his heart. He was surprised by his "far-sightedness" (actually Metternich copied the French policy).

After the discussion on the railway and highway issues, Jerome Bonaparte euphemistically told Franz Joseph that the Austrian Empire should relax its restrictions on Hungary, Lombardy and Venice, which would be beneficial to the Austrian Empire's rule in these two regions. .

For Jerome Bonaparte's proposal, Franz Joseph did not agree.

So he responded vaguely to Jérôme Bonaparte, thinking about it himself.

Hearing Franz Joseph's answer, Jerome Bonaparte knew that Franz Joseph would never listen to him.

Only after Franz Joseph suffered from the high-handed policy would he seriously consider his opinion.

From the point of view of marginal effect, although the Austrian Empire’s military rule in Hungary and Lombardy-Venice can **** a lot of money in a short period of time, in the long run, the cost of maintaining the stability of military rule will inevitably rise until it exceeds the taxes it collects.

By that time, it would be difficult for the Austrian Empire not to reform.

Jerome Bonaparte just needs to wait patiently for the Austrian Empire to have a marginal effect. If he does it properly, he can make a fortune on the Austrian Empire.

The four people who walked to the hall were separated. Jerome Bonaparte returned to the study, while Franz Joseph, Augusta, and Elizabeth returned to their respective rooms.

When Franz Joseph was about to arrive at his room in the Tuileries Palace, he stopped, turned and headed in the direction of Prince Metternich.

After a while, Franz Joseph entered Prince Metternich's room and talked with Prince Metternich about the conversation he had just had in the studio and the stairwell.

"Mr. Metternich, are you really wrong that we punish traitors in Hungary, Lombardy and Venice?" Franz Joseph asked Prince Metternich.

Metternich knew that Franz Joseph just wanted to get an affirmation from him, instead of letting himself veto him.

"Your Majesty, I don't think we are wrong!" Metternich said to Franz Joseph in a well-behaved manner: "Because the national conditions of His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte's French Empire and your Austrian Empire are different, that's why it happened. His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte made such a judgment."

Hearing Prince Metternich's reply, Franz Joseph's heart finally gained some confidence, "By the way! Metternich, do you know the camera?"

"Camera?" Prince Metternich thought for a moment. He didn't understand why Franz Joseph asked him this. He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I know!"

"Can it really take pictures of people?" Franz Joseph continued to ask.

As for Metternich, whose camera was still on the daguerreotype, he did not know that the latest technology had been born in Britain and France.

"That's right!" Franz Joseph muttered in a low voice, "It doesn't seem to be of much use!"

…

Over the next few days, newspapers throughout France reported on the parade and the speech of Jerome Bonaparte at the parade.

Different newspapers commented on Jerome Bonaparte's speech at the military parade. Some newspapers said that Jerome Bonaparte's speech profoundly explained what the French Empire should do now and how to do it? Some newspapers praised Jérôme Bonaparte for not forgetting peace during the war, and he was a monarch who truly yearned for peace. There are also some current-political newspapers that the emperor's behavior is a request for peace to the Russian Empire.

In short, almost all the newspapers praise Jérôme Bonaparte.

On the other side of France, the British Kingdom had polarized views on Jerome Bonaparte's military parade this time.

Some conservative (right) newspapers still praised Jérôme Bonaparte's actions, claiming that there should also be a military parade in Britain.

Most of the progressive (left-wing) ideological newspapers remain critical of Jerome Bonaparte, they say that this behavior of Jerome Bonaparte is like an ancient Roman general trying to show off himself the results of his victory, paralyzed the Roman people to make them feel that the honor was with them, so that the Roman people could continue to support his actions, and his so-called speech was just to whitewash his aggressive war against the Russian Empire. Just the essence.

One of the articles said so.

"It is sad that the struggle between a thief and a robber has to be paid by the French and the Russians, but we firmly believe that the French will see through and overthrow Jerome Bonaparte, the thief and his Whitewashed Empire. UU Reading

At that time, the statue of Bonaparte will fall from the pillars of the Place Vendôme with the Empire..."

However, at the end of the article, the author of the article admits that the French Empire's attack on the Russian Empire has a positive effect, and he can push the Russian Empire from feudalism to capitalism as soon as possible.

Because the French Empire has proved to the Russian Empire with their actual actions that capitalism is more powerful than the outbreak of feudal despotism.

If the Russian Empire is unwilling to reform, the revolution will surely find them.

As for the author of this article, it goes without saying that you all know who it is!
