Chapter 884： Morocco diplomatic crisis

Just when Basilio was rectifying the bad ethos of the Norinco Group in Paris, and Jerome Bonaparte was eagerly waiting for Post's envoy to ask for help, a sudden change was also taking place in North Africa.

The initiator of this accident was the Kingdom of Morocco in North Africa.

In the early morning of a Sunday in late December, French Foreign Minister De Luyins hurried to the entrance of the Tuinleli Palace in a carriage, and entered the hall of the Tuinleli Palace by stepping on the steps that had not been cleaned of snow. .

Upon seeing this, the servants in the hall hurriedly stopped De Lu Yinsi and asked De Lu Yinsi, "Minister Lu Yinsi, do you have anything urgent to report to Your Majesty!"

"Of course!" De Lu Yinsi replied without hesitation.

"Please go to the living room and wait for a while, I will report immediately!" As the servant said, he ordered his companions to take De Lu Yinsi to the living room.

Seeing this, the companion hurried to De Lu Yinsi and responded, "Please come with me!"

De Lu Yinsi followed the servants of the Tuinlery Palace to the living room, while the other servant ran straight towards the room of the royal administrator Vernia.

When the servant arrived at the door of the royal steward's room, he took a deep breath and knocked gently on the door.

After a while, a lazy voice came from the room, "Who is it?"

The owner of the voice is none other than the Emperor Jerome Bonaparte. @*~~

"Your Majesty!" the servant said to Jerome Bonaparte with a hint of excitement.

"What's the matter?" Jerome Bonaparte continued to ask.

The servant informed Jerome Bonaparte of the arrival of the doorkeeper De Luyens at the Tuin-lely Palace.

In the room, Jerome Bonaparte was stunned when he heard that De Lu Yins had arrived at the Tuin-leuri Palace, and then realized that De Lu Yins must have something important to look for him.

So, Jerome Bonaparte asked the servant outside the door again, "Did Lu Yinsi tell you what he's doing here?"

"Minister Lu Yinsi just said that there is something important, and he didn't say much about the rest!" The servant replied quickly.

"Okay! I see! You go and tell Lu Yinsi, I'll be right there!" Jerome Bonaparte shouted out the door, then turned back to the bed.

"Minister Lu Yinsi is here?" Vernia asked Jerome Bonaparte charmingly with a slightly flushed expression on her face.

"Yeah!" Jerome Bonaparte whispered to Virnia while picking up the clothes scattered on the carpet and putting it on, "This old guy really doesn't give me any free time. !

Remove him sooner or later! "

Virnia smiled slightly, she understood that these words of Jerome Bonaparte were only temporary words of anger, and Minister De Luiens definitely had a lot of weight in Jerome Bonaparte's heart.

Otherwise, how could he have reassigned De Lu Yinsi, who had already served as ambassador to Austria, to be the foreign minister.

In order to secure the position of foreign minister for De Luyens, the former foreign minister Valevsky was secretly surrendered by Jerome Bonaparte and sent to the Principality of Luxembourg as prime minister.

Although the Principality of Luxembourg is nominally a country on an equal footing with France, their head is the same as the Speaker of the Legislative Council, far above the cabinet ministers, but the Prime Minister of the Principality of Luxembourg is far inferior to the cabinet ministers in terms of power, and still controls the empire Minister of Foreign Affairs.

This is enough to prove Jerome Bonaparte's trust in De Luins.

"Okay! Don't say any more, you should go meet Minister Lu Yinsi quickly!" Vernia said to Jerome Bonaparte in a soft voice: "I think Minister De Lu Yinsi must have Anything that has to make up your mind will come to you!"

"If Lu Yinsi teases me with trivial matters, I will definitely let him know about the emperor's rights!" Jerome Bonaparte said to himself, and then he turned to Vernia. Said: "Just sleep for a while!"

Virnia nodded and watched Jerome Bonaparte leave the room.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had left the Virnia room, went straight to the book.

Room to go.

When he opened the study, he found that De Lu Yinsi was not seen in the study.

"Not in the study? It must be in the living room!" Jerome Bonaparte whispered, then closed the door and went to the living room.

In the living room, Jerome Bonaparte met Minister De Luyens, who was sitting on a Turkish-style sofa at the moment, waiting for Jerome Bonaparte to arrive. @*~~

The appearance of Jerome Bonaparte made De Luyens hurriedly stand up to greet him.

After shaking hands, the two sat on the sofa together. Jerome Bonaparte asked De Lu Yins in a slightly mocking tone, "Mr Lu Yinsi, what bad news do you want to tell me!"

"Your Majesty, I can't hide anything from you!" De Lu Yins responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a wry smile.

"Hey!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a hint of surprise, "It's really bad news!"

"That's right!" De Luyens nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "According to the report of our ambassador to the Kingdom of Morocco, the Kingdom of Morocco secretly signed a trade treaty with the Kingdom of Britain a few days ago. !"

Hearing this, Jerome Bonaparte's expression immediately became solemn.

In his heart, he has long regarded the Kingdom of Morocco as his meat, and will never allow the British to take the Kingdom of Morocco.

Because once the Kingdom of Britain wins the Kingdom of Morocco, it means that the British colony and the core of France's colony (which can also be called the overseas province) border each other, which is very unfavorable for France's control of Algeria.

The French army can enforce cross-border law enforcement against the Kingdom of Morocco, but it is not easy to enforce cross-border law against Morocco, which has become a British colony.

In the event of a conflict between Britain and France for the future, the Kingdom of Morocco, which became a British colony, would become a stronghold for Algeria to oppose France.

True to reason, Jérôme Bonaparte did not wait for the possibility of the Kingdom of Britain to have a hand in the Kingdom of Morocco.

"What is the content of the treaty?" Jerome Bonaparte said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, this is the letter from the ambassador to Morocco to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" De Luyens handed the letter from the ambassador to Morocco to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte opened the folded letter, carefully

The content of the letter mainly revolves around the content of the treaty signed between the Kingdom of Britain and the Kingdom of Morocco, which includes allowing British merchants to trade throughout the Principality of Morocco, implementing treaty tariffs (10% commodity tax is levied according to the agreement), and granting British merchants extrajudicial tariffs. governance.

After looking at the contents of the agreement, Jerome Bonaparte saw nothing but the words "forfeiture of power and humiliation to the country".

Jerome Bonaparte, who had read the letter, could never have imagined that, as the only country in North Africa that could be "independent" (Egypt and Tunisia nominally obeyed the orders of the Ottoman Empire, Algeria had been completely occupied by France), the Kingdom of Morocco could Traveling back and forth on the wire ropes of the three countries of England, France and Spain, but they want to hang on the wire rope of the Kingdom of Britain.

Is it more noble to be a dog in the Kingdom of Great Britain than to be a dog for the Fascians?

"Abd al-Rahman (Sultan of the Principality of Morocco), what on earth do you want to do!" Jerome Bonaparte stomped his feet and said a little impatiently, "Don't he know that doing so will only make them British A puppet of the kingdom?"

"Your Majesty, I can actually understand the purpose of Abdul Rahman's eagerness to sign this treaty!" De Luyens said to Jerome Bonaparte with a sullen expression.

"Tell me! What is their purpose?" Jerome Bonaparte asked De Lu Yins.

"Your Majesty, Abdul Rahman's purpose is to prevent our invasion!" De Luyens said bluntly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"We haven't even started to invade him, so he can't wait to turn himself into a puppet?" Jerome Bonaparte was still a little puzzled.

Although he does have plans to occupy Morocco, his occupation of the King of Morocco is not an immediate plan.

The Kingdom of Morocco signed with the Kingdom of Great Britain.

The agreement, if not restricted, would soon turn the Kingdom of Morocco into a puppet state of the Kingdom of Great Britain.

"Your Majesty, haven't we had enough friction with the Kingdom of Morocco?" De Lu Yins asked back, and then continued, "Before the Bourbon dynasty occupied Algeria, the frequency of friction between France and Algeria was far less than that of us. The frequency of friction with Morocco!

At that time, we did not mean to invade Algeria when we invaded Algeria. UU Reading

If I were the Sultan of the Kingdom of Morocco, I would also be terrified of France. "

"Indeed!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded in agreement with De Luyens' words.

"And being a puppet state of the Kingdom of Britain is much stronger than being exiled overseas!" De Lu Yinsi gave another reason.

"In that case, Abdul Rahman is determined to lick the buttocks of the British?" Jerome Bonaparte frowned slightly and said to De Lu Yins. Error free update@

"It's very possible!" De Luiens responded to Jerome Bonaparte, "However, I suggest to propose to the Kingdom of Morocco a treaty similar to that of the Kingdom of Britain!

If the Kingdom of Morocco signs it, then all is well!

If Morocco is not willing to sign..."

Before De Lu Yins finished speaking, Jerome Bonaparte said to De Lu Yins, "If Morocco is unwilling, then we will send troops to Morocco! I am right, Lu Yinsi!"
