Make France Great Again Chapter 207

Changarnier, who was sitting two positions away from Jerome Bonaparte on the left side of the long dining table, sat on the red velvet cushion chair without saying a word, looking calm and winning, but if Looking closely at his expression, you can see that there is a melancholy in Changarnier's eyes, and his fingers are also trembling slightly under the dining table.

Except for General de Castellana, who was sitting next to Changarnier, no one noticed General Changarnier's insignificant actions.

Ugh!

De Castellane sighed inwardly at Changarnier's estrangement.

Whether in the East or the West, people are keen to add one attribute after another to the diet itself.

For a political figure, the dinner table can also contain politics.

In the old dynasties, the king would arrange the dining position according to his relationship with the nobles. Those who were fortunate enough to sit next to the king would be flattered and complimented by everyone. This position represented that he was the noblest who was closest to the king. The nobles will spend a lot of money just to win the trust of the king.

Although the revolutionary government during the Great Revolution explicitly banned this custom of the old system, they still recognized it subconsciously.

After the Napoleonic Empire and two generations of Bourbons, table politics continued to develop on the basis of revolutionary governments, and the appointment and dismissal of bureaucrats often depended on a meal.

The actions of President Jerome Bonaparte clearly told everyone present that Changarnier had fallen out of favor and that what awaited him was likely to be dismissed.

"Everyone!" Jérôme Bonaparte, who hung his bicorne hat on the back of the chair, got up and raised his glass with a smile. The foreign envoys and senior officers on the long dining table also stood up and raised their glasses.

"I'm very happy that you can come to participate in today's military parade!" Jerome Bonaparte said: "This military parade has been very successful, and the efforts of you people are indispensable here! On behalf of France, I thank you for your efforts!"

Having said that, Jerome Bonaparte drank the brandy in the glass.

"Vulgar!" The Russian Imperial Diplomatic Ambassador responded in a low voice.

It seemed to him that Jérôme Bonaparte's banquet was not a real aristocratic banquet at all, at best it was just a show among the nouveau riche.

Oh, God! To let them, nobles with noble blood, have a meal with a group of warriors, it is simply terrible! These warriors only mess up normal banquets!

Not only the ministers of the Russian Empire thought these things, but many veteran German noble ambassadors who claimed to be the three flags in Europe were also more or less contemptuous.

No country has a banquet so rude except in France.

Even though Jerome Bonaparte himself has half the blood of the Württemberg family, he does not look like a traditional German nobleman.

On the contrary, it is like a thorough military leader.

Of course, Jerome Bonaparte knew the thoughts of these so-called old-fashioned nobles. In his opinion, it is better to actively embrace new ideas than to keep a tattered aristocratic classic and to strictly abide by the etiquette in the palace like a zombie. era.

The 19th century was the era of the afterglow of the nobility, and it was also the era of the rise of the bourgeoisie.

Although they despised Jerome Bonaparte in their hearts, they still had to go down according to Jerome Bonaparte's process.

After everyone at the table had finished drinking the wine in their glasses, Jerome Bonaparte raised his hand to signal that everyone present could take their seats: "Everyone, please take a seat!"

After the foreign envoys and officers all sat down, the banquet officially began.

All kinds of refreshments, frozen chicken, enemas, snails, caviar, etc. are neatly placed on the table, which is many times better than the army outside the castle.

The banquet lasted for nearly two hours before it ended, during which Jerome Bonaparte once again wished France's peace-loving tone, and claimed that the French army existed to defend peace, and they would never launch an aggression at will. war.

The foreign envoys present listened "seriously" to Jerome Bonaparte's call for peace, and then forgot about it in an instant.

The peace-loving lies of the French may only be believed by the natives of Africa.

Of course, if the French army was stationed on the territory of the natives, the natives would not be willing to believe it.

As to whether France loves peace, the Argentine minister in South America has the most power to speak, but unfortunately the Argentine minister was not at the banquet.

After the banquet, the troops returned to their camps one after another under the leadership of commanders at all levels.

After the blood, the feasted army became more loyal to Jerome Bonaparte.

Ministers and dignitaries from various countries began to bid farewell to Jerome Bonaparte one after another, and Jerome Bonaparte smiled and shook hands with them.

When it was the turn of the Russian Imperial Minister, Jerome Bonaparte changed his previous smile to a gloomy expression.

Seeing Jerome Bonaparte with a gloomy face, the Russian imperial envoy became uneasy.

If there is a diplomatic crisis between the Russian Empire and the French Republic because of his two hilarious words, I am afraid that he, the diplomatic ambassador, will consider going to Siberia.

"President... Your Excellency... Thank you for inviting me to the military parade!" The Russian Imperial Minister responded humbly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Minister!" A sneer appeared on Jerome Bonaparte's gloomy face, "Do you think these troops are qualified to go to Russia to have an "exchange" with the troops of the Russian Empire!"

Jerome Bonaparte's words contained a strong sense of threat.

For a head of state, Jerome Bonaparte's words are a bit irrational.

However, Jerome Bonaparte's threat obviously made the Russian Imperial Minister's color change, and some words from the mouth of a head of state are very different from those of the foreign minister.

The Russian Imperial Minister choked his neck and responded to Jerome Bonaparte in the spirit of losing the battle: "Your Excellency, with all due respect! Your uncle had an unpleasant trip when he was in the Russian Empire!"

"Mr. Minister, please don't forget!" Jerome Bonaparte immediately retorted the Minister of the Russian Empire: "In 1812, most of my uncle's army of more than 600,000 were not French, and those who were defeated were entangled together. You defeated your army and entered Moscow! And today, there are more than 600,000 troops in the whole of France, and there are many more young French people gearing up for a big fight... Now you see only It's just a small part!"

Although the French Republic currently only has a standing army of more than 300,000 people, it does not prevent Jerome Bonaparte from placing all the National Guards in the regular army.

The European powers at the beginning were not afraid that when France was dismembered, another revolutionary regime was born, which would lead the French youth to continue the war against Europe before their vitality was exhausted.

If there is another strategic command genius like Napoleon, the whole of Europe may really fall into a collapse.

The Russian imperial envoy stopped speaking, and the silence represented his disguised acknowledgment of the strength of the French Republic.

"Mr. Minister, I hope that Europe can enter into a prosperous and stable development! Peaceful development is more important than confrontation!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to the Russian Minister with the need for kindness after the threat.

"Your Excellency, I think so too!" The Russian imperial envoy hurried down the **** to respond to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Good-bye! Monsieur envoy!" Jerome Bonaparte waved.

After the Russian envoy left, the envoy of Württemberg appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte and responded respectfully: "His Royal Highness!"

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte showed a cordial expression and pulled the Württemberg envoy aside to ask the Württemberg envoy how his cheap uncle King of Württemberg was doing.

"His Majesty's body is quite tough." The envoy of Württemberg responded immediately.

"Then I'm relieved!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to the Württemberg envoy with a smile.

"However, the situation in Württemberg is a bit complicated. Your Majesty Wilhelm may..." The Minister of Württemberg asked tentatively: "His Majesty Wilhelm wants to ask ~www.mtlnovel.com~ If Württemberg is really in danger, Will France welcome him here?"

Um? Danger?

Jerome Bonaparte thought for a moment, and he thought about how his cheap uncle seemed to be fighting against the liberals in Württemberg from 49 to 50 years. Judging from the result, his uncle seemed to win.

"Of course you can, tell him that France will always welcome him!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Württemberg, "please tell my uncle that one day he will be able to visit France in person, and I will be in the Tuileries Ligong welcomes him!"

Hearing the envoy of Württemberg at the Tuileries Palace was amazed that Jerome Bonaparte was actually preparing to take the throne in the republic.

"Of course, I believe that His Majesty William will not refuse your invitation! He will be proud of your achievements in France!" The envoy of Württemberg blessed Jerome Bonaparte even more humbly.

If Jerome Bonaparte ascends the throne, then the safety of Württemberg can no longer wait to see the face of Prussia and Austria.

Württemberg, which is backed by France, will have more right to speak in South Germany.

This could not have been a better situation for King William.

Of course, for Jerome Bonaparte, strengthening the connection with Württemberg is conducive to the French intervention in the German region.

Once the situation between Prussia and Austria suddenly changed, he could quickly mobilize the army to go to Germany in the name of helping his uncle, and by the way punish the kingdom of Prussia for not abiding by the rules.

An excuse to protect the kingdom of Württemberg from encroachment and to uphold Catholicism is better than no excuse at all.
