Make France Great Again Chapter 581

"So I told him through my father-in-law to let him relax! All the consequences will be borne by the French Empire!"

Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, De Ruiz fell into contemplation. He was weighing the pros and cons of annexing the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to France, as well as the situations that France might encounter in the process of annexation.

After a while, De Luis asked, "Your Majesty, in what form are you going to rule the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg!"

Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Besides direct annexation, is there any other way to rule this place?"

"Of course!" De Luis nodded with a sly smile and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! In the current diplomatic environment, the reckless annexation of the territory of an independent and sovereign European country has a real impact. It's too bad! If you don't make trouble, the French Empire may once again face the situation that your uncle, Emperor Napoleon, faced!"

De Ruiz's words reminded Jerome Bonaparte of the "old story" of the annexation of Savoy by the French Empire during the Italian War.

At that time, his cousin sent 200,000 troops to help the Kingdom of Sardinia solve the rule of the Austrian Empire in the Italian region, and when he sought his own spoils of war, Savoy and Nice, the French Empire immediately suffered from everyone including Alexander II. The hostility of European countries, the diplomacy of the French Empire fell into a stage of isolation and helplessness for a time.

If it wasn't for the fact that the countries did not have any plans for a large-scale war in the 1860s, and the Apennine Peninsula itself was a back door to Central Europe, so it did not receive much attention from the foreign powers, then it would be difficult for the French Empire to annex successfully.

Nowadays, the annexation of Luxembourg by the French Empire is like kicking the main gate of Central Europe. It is difficult to make the German region unresponsive.

Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte suddenly felt that he and his old father-in-law would annex the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg too simply!

"Then what do you think we should do?" Jerome Bonaparte responded sincerely to De Ruiz.

"Your Majesty, since we can't use the French Empire to directly rule the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, why don't we let the Bonaparte family rule it!" De Ruiz responded slowly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"You mean to choose a Bonaparte and let him rule in Luxembourg?" Jerome Bonaparte showed a look of resistance. He didn't want to make the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, which he won after busywork, become someone else's 's wedding dress.

Do you still want to rule a country just with the treasures of the Bonaparte family? I think it's enough for them to rule a small town!

Jerome Bonaparte can be said to be full of malice towards his aristocratic relatives.

De Ruiz saw Jerome Bonaparte's reluctance, and he hurriedly explained to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, the Bonaparte people I'm talking about are not the current Bonaparte. Princes, but the future crown prince!"

After listening to De Luiz's words, Jerome Bonaparte's face returned to a smile, and he understood what De Luiz meant: "You mean the union?"

"That's right!" De Luiz nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, after you take over the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, you can declare that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will become the Grand Duke of Luxembourg! After a hundred years, When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherits the throne, the French Empire can justifiably become the territory of the Empire!"

In fact, De Luiz still didn't say the last sentence, that is, if the crown prince could not maintain his rule in Paris, then the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg would become a private plot of the Bonaparte family.

However, it is better not to say these words in the presence of Jerome Bonaparte.

"This is indeed a solution!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, he also realized that it was better to annex the alliance than to directly annex it.

For France, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg embedded in the German Confederation is the most perfect excuse for intervention, which is very similar to the repeated application of the Russian Federation to join NATO in later generations.

For the Bonaparte family, the existence of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg can indirectly help the Bonaparte family.

If the Bonaparte family is really unable to maintain their rule in France, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is the best place for them.

The enthusiasm of the people of Paris for the revolution made every ruler of Paris feel afraid.

Even Jerome Bonaparte himself is not sure whether the Bonaparte family's rule over the French Empire can be maintained until he completely shuts his eyes.

Historically, Napoleon III established his reign in France for only twenty-two years.

"But even in the form of union, we still have to consider the ideas of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Germany!" De Luis continued.

"The German side doesn't need to worry too much. As long as Prussia and Austria are not united, we don't need to be afraid at all!" Jerome Bonaparte expressed his thoughts to De Luis: "And I am also planning to conduct more in-depth cooperation with the Austrian Empire. I believe that for the sake of money, those Austrians will not take that for us!

As for South Germany, my father-in-law will help us mediate!

As for the Kingdom of Great Britain, the only thing I can think of is to use the ongoing Crimean War to force the Kingdom of Great Britain to admit the established facts! "

After listening to Jerome Bonaparte's thoughts, De Ruiz said euphemistically that the vassals of South Germany might have to agree to France's opinion because of the force of the French Empire, but the Kingdom of Britain might find it difficult to obey.

"Then what shall we do?" Jerome Bonaparte asked.

De Ruiz pondered for a moment, then said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, just a few days ago, I received a letter from the French Counselor in Egypt, and I wanted to give it to you in a few days. !"

While talking, De Ruiz walked to the desk and took out a letter from the French counselor in Egypt.

"Luiz, we are talking about the Principality of Luxembourg, why did you suddenly go to Egypt!" Jerome Bonaparte said slightly dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, please be sure to read this!" De Ruiz handed the letter to Jerome Bonaparte.

Looking at the mysterious foreign minister in front of him, Jerome Bonaparte opened the envelope and checked the contents of the letter.

The content of the letter is very simple, that is, a man named Mohammed Said hopes that the French Empire can help them seize the governorship of the current Egyptian governor Abbas. When he succeeds the governor, he will immediately overthrow Abbas. policy to become France's most loyal "partner" (lacking dog)

By the way, although Egypt is still nominally a territory of the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire has completely lost its jurisdiction over Egypt and the right to appoint and remove governors.

At present, the internal affairs of Egypt are managed by the grandson of Muhammad Ali, that is, Governor Abbas.

The Governor Abbas was a typical pro-Turkish and British faction. During his reign, the capital of the French Empire in Egypt could not be said to be smooth, but it could also be said to be struggling.

Said is the uncle of Abbas, and he is also one of the heirs of Egypt. Now Said is being imprisoned by Abbas.

It can be said that he is a waste prince!

After Jérôme Bonaparte read the letter, he put down the envelope, got up and paced back and forth twice, and said to De Ruiz in a serious tone, "Is the news true?"

"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that the news is 100% true!" De Ruiz assured Jerome Bonaparte with an oath.

"Syed...Syed..." After listening to De Ruiz's words, Jerome Bonaparte murmured in a low voice, and kept searching for the information of Syed in the letter in his mind.

I remember that there seemed to be an assassination in the history of Egypt, and then the governor died. Could it be this? Jerome Bonaparte thought to himself.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but regret why he didn't read it carefully, and now he has to judge from the limited information sources.

"Luiz, what does your foreign ministry say about the son of Muhammad Ali?" Jerome Bonaparte asked De Luiz.

De Ruiz introduced Syed to Jerome Bonaparte about his life and experience, including being educated in Germany since he was a child, and then studying in France.

"According to the news from the counselor~www.mtlnovel.com~ This Said has a strong liberal ideology, and is also a person close to us! If he serves as the governor of Egypt, the interests of the empire in Egypt You can be guaranteed!" De Ruiz responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"So, do you agree to do something against Abbas?" Jerome Bonaparte asked De Ruiz in a cold tone.

"That's right!" De Ruiz nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte, "As long as the Empire can help Said win the governor of Egypt, then Said will definitely repay the empire!

The status of the British Kingdom in Egypt will also be impacted! "

"You're trying to leverage the Principality of Luxembourg through Egypt!" Jerome Bonaparte immediately understood De Luiz's strategy.

No one knows better than him the impact of the Suez Canal on the Kingdom of Britain.

As long as France influences Egypt, then he can force the British kingdom to retreat in certain places through the Suez Canal.

After all, the Kingdom of Great Britain is not willing to offend an army power and a navy inferior to death.

Just like the British kingdom took Cyprus and then turned to support the French Republic's occupation of Morocco.

The current French Empire is stronger than the future Third Republic, and Britain's concessions are bound to be greater than before.
