Chapter 658： Occupy Luxembourg

"Your Highness, can you retell the situation at that time!" Prime Minister Mandoffel respectfully said to William I.

"Of course!" William I once again repeated the conversation he had just had with De Luiz.

After thinking for a long time, Mandoffel lowered his head, then raised his head and William I said word by word: "Your Highness, I feel that the purpose of the French Empire does not seem to want the Kingdom of Prussia to be an enemy of the Russian Empire. We are pushing to the side of the Russian Empire!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of William I, Old Mooch, and Ron changed drastically.

If this is the case, then the situation of the Kingdom of Prussia is in danger.

"What is the purpose of doing this?" William I's words revealed a burst of anger, he really couldn't understand why the French Empire targeted the Kingdom of Prussia so, "We have never offended them, why did they insist on killing us Do they really want to see the Austrian Empire dominate?"

Ron and Old Mooch also showed puzzled expressions on their faces, and they also did not understand the French Empire's strategy for Germany.

Even from the perspective of German balance, the French Empire should support the second German kingdom of Prussia and balance the German leader Austrian Empire.

Fortunately, the relationship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire has not become estranged because of Napoleon's coming to power, but has become closer.

Sometimes, William I wanted to pick up the loudspeaker and ask the French emperor whether he understood geopolitics and German equilibrium.

The relationship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, on the other hand, is more estranged than it was during the two generations of the Bourbon dynasty. Since Napoleon III came to power, the French Empire has threatened the Kingdom of Prussia many times.

William I didn't understand that their kingdom of Prussia was so unwelcoming!

Prime Minister Mantopher also smiled bitterly, telling William I that he did not know why Jerome Bonaparte would rather try his best to win over the Austrian Empire rather than befriend the Kingdom of Prussia.

William I and the three ministers present did not know that the emperor Jerome Bonaparte, who had always been hostile to the Kingdom of Prussia, was a traveler. The reason why he was so hostile was that the Kingdom of Prussia was the only one with A country with the potential to unify Germany.

Even if Jerome Bonaparte knew, now he should show some kindness to the Kingdom of Prussia, and then indulge the ambition of the Kingdom of Prussia. A slap in the face to Prussia is the best result.

However, Jerome Bonaparte could not restrain his inner desire to destroy the Kingdom of Prussia now, and every time he made a move, he hoped that the Kingdom of Prussia would be on the opposite side.

Because only if the Kingdom of Prussia stood on the side of the opposition, could Jerome Bonaparte be able to pull the radish with mud and completely eradicate the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Then what should we do now?" William I asked Mandoffel in a slightly depressed tone, "Do we really have to offend a country?"

The geographical location of the Kingdom of Prussia was originally the land of four wars, and now Prussia is not a particularly powerful country, which makes them not dare to offend any powerful country rashly.

Whether it is against the Russian Empire or against the French Empire, Prussia's diplomacy will go

"His Royal Highness!" Mandolfier hesitated for a moment, then said politely, "Archduke Frederick is 23 years old, and it's time to get married!"

William I looked at Mandoffel in astonishment. He didn't understand what Mandoffel meant: "My Prime Minister! We are not discussing what to do now? How come you got married!"

"But Crown Prince Frederick has indeed reached the age of marriage!" Mandoffel emphasized once again.

Ron's eyes lit up beside William I, and he immediately said to Mandoffel, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I understand, do you mean to let us use the power of the Kingdom of Great Britain!"

"Yes!" Mandoffel the Riddler nodded and said to William I: "His Royal Highness, I thought that His Royal Highness should choose a British wife!"

"Marriage with Britain?" William I showed a hesitant expression, "I heard that liberalism prevails in Britain, will marriage with them..."

Ron and Old Mooch also showed a trace of resistance on their faces. Back then, they used bayonets to kill the damned liberals and maintained the purity of the Kingdom of Prussia. (Junker ruled the country)

Now, the Kingdom of Prussia is going to welcome back a liberal grand princess, which is really embarrassing.

"His Royal Highness, please don't worry about this!" Mandoffel confidently said to William I: "Every member of the royal family will put the interests of the royal family above their own interests. A princess educated by Queen Victoria must not be so short-sighted!"

"But, my wife..." William I was worried about his wife again.

You know, his wife is a stubborn stubborn stubborn, and he is a little afraid that his wife will not agree.

"His Royal Highness, please tell the princess the difficulties that the Kingdom of Prussia is facing now. I believe that the princess will understand your choice!" Mandoffel once again comforted William I.

"Hey!" William I sighed, "As of now, this is the only way!"

After Mandupher and others left, William I was chatting with his wife and talked about wanting his son, Duke Frederick, to propose to the Kingdom of Britain.

The princess showed complete resistance, and finally had to agree to William I's request.

For the next few days, De Ruiz never bothered William I again. He seemed to have forgotten what he said before.

However, the information from the Rhineland region warned Prussia all the time, and De Ruiz's words remained unchanged.

Nearly 100,000 French troops have been gathered in the Alsace-Lorraine region to participate in the military exercise. What's worse, the center of the military exercise command was chosen to be in the Metz area, which means that the French command The Ministry is only 60 kilometers away from Saarbrücken, the nearest city in the Rhineland. It only takes a few days for the French Empire to enter the Rhineland. The three armies of the Kingdom of Prussia in the Rhineland are in high tension. state, for fear that an impulse from the French side will directly enter the Rhineland to open the film.

European countries that had turned their attention to the Crimea Peninsula once again turned their attention to the Franco-Prussian border.

On the other hand, William I is also stepping up its contact with the Kingdom of Great Britain.

However, the British Kingdom still needs France to solve the problem of the Crimea Peninsula, so it does not have too much enthusiasm for the Kingdom of Prussia.

Of course, Palmerston, who was far away in London, also knew what the real purpose of the French Empire was, and he knew that his plan had failed.

Under the threat of more than 100,000 French soldiers, the choice of the Kingdom of Prussia can be imagined.

So, he had no choice but to stop the previous strategy that made Clarendon fan the flames, and instead told William I that the operation of the French Empire in the Strasbourg area would soon end, and William I did not need to be so nervous.

William I, who was guaranteed by the Kingdom of Great Britain, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the middle of October, King Willem III of the Netherlands went to Württemberg to visit the King of Württemberg.

At the same time, French Foreign Minister Vallewski also appeared in the territory of the Kingdom of Württemberg in a low-key manner.

Witnessed by the King of Württemberg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the French Empire formally signed a territorial transfer agreement.

The Bonaparte family spent 30 million (Wallewski bargained and pressed the price at 30 million francs, including the reason why King Willem III of the Netherlands was eager to sell) from the Dutch Kingdom. Bonaparte himself holds the title of Grand Duke of Luxembourg.

After the purchase, Wallewski immediately passed the news to the Strasbourg commander, Vaillant, who was stationed in Metz. Vaillant also acted quickly and ordered his two divisions to rush to Luxembourg as soon as possible. Grand Duchy, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Disarming the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

After the rushing troops came to the border area between Luxembourg and France by train, they brazenly "invaded" the territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

At this time, the residents of Luxembourg did not know that they had been betrayed by their king.

Before the Dutch garrison stationed in Luxembourg could react, it was disarmed by the sudden arrival of the French army.

The fortress and various strongholds were completely occupied by the troops of the two divisions, and the cabinet meeting that was being held was also dissolved by the big boss, just like they did with the National Assembly.

Immediately afterwards, the two divisions announced in Luxembourg the order that the Grand Duke of Luxembourg should be appointed by Jerome Bonaparte, so the entire city defense of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg would be taken over by the French Empire.

When the residents of Luxembourg heard that their own King William III had become the Emperor of the French Empire, they didn't know what to say for a while.

However, the following second and third decrees made the residents of the entire Grand Duchy of Luxembourg cheer.

Because the new Grand Duke of Luxembourg will implement the universal suffrage system in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, all residents over the age of 18 can participate in universal suffrage, and all residents over the age of 30 have the right to be elected.

Moreover, the French Empire will also allocate 50 million francs to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to build Luxembourg's characteristic tourism and financial industries.
