Jerome Bonaparte's suffocating comprehension made De Lu Yins' face show a hint of embarrassment. At this moment, he felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.

God is pitiful, his original intention was to force the Kingdom of Morocco to obey the French arrangement by means of diplomatic pressure after the negotiation broke down.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor understood that he wanted to launch a military operation against the Kingdom of Morocco.

While military action is the most effective way to make one country submit to another, it is also the easiest way to deepen the contradiction between the two countries.

If the French Empire did not win the Kingdom of Morocco in the first place, then France may fall into the same predicament as Algiers.

Furthermore, De Luyens is not the Minister of War/Chief of Staff.

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, De Lu Yins hates diplomacy by force the most, because the role that he can play as a foreign minister is too great from the beginning of the use of force between the two countries until the war situation becomes clear. limited.

In any country, the size of the power an official holds is directly related to the amount of affairs he can manage. During the war, all powers must be concentrated toward the army, and the power of the foreign secretary will naturally be diluted.

Seeing that De Lu Yinsi was silent, Jerome Bonaparte asked again: "Your Excellency, did I say something wrong! Why didn't you speak!"

De Lu Yins, who had reacted, hurriedly turned his eyes to Jerome Bonaparte, and he politely expressed his attitude to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, you were not wrong just now! Force is indeed the easiest solution, but I still hope that the problem between us and the Kingdom of Morocco can be resolved in a peaceful way!"

"The way of peace!" Jerome Bonaparte spread out his hands, then raised a finger with a serious expression and said to De Luyens: "I don't mind using any means to achieve it! I only care about one thing, That is, the Kingdom of Morocco must not become the territory of the Kingdom of Britain!

I don't want to hang out with those guys who like shit! "

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will have a good discussion with the Moroccan ambassador! I will try to reach a formula with them as soon as possible!" De Luyens assured Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said again: "Right! I remember that the Kingdom of Spain also has some ideas about the Kingdom of Morocco, right? "

Hearing Jerome Bonaparte's words, De Luiens's heart was lifted to his throat. He was very afraid that Jerome Bonaparte would have something wrong with the Kingdom of Spain just like the emperor Napoleon at the time. thought.

After all, the Bourbon dynasty that ruled Spain not only belonged to the same lineage as the Bourbon dynasty that was expelled from France, but the sister of the contemporary Spanish queen married the Duke of Montpensier of Bourbon Sprout, a relationship that should be emperor object of prevention.

"That's right! The Kingdom of Spain does have ideas for the Kingdom of Morocco! However, their national strength may not be able to support their ideas." Although De Lu Yinsi had begun to pray to the emperor not to do stupid things in his heart, there was no trace of his face. There was no panic, and all the words seemed to come out of the way.

"That's the case!" Jerome Bonaparte paused and stroked his chin gently with his hand, a sinister smile on his face, "Why don't we unite with the Kingdom of Spain and jointly put pressure on the Kingdom of Morocco!

This will not only make the Kingdom of Morocco feel the pressure, but also eliminate some of the misunderstandings between France and Spain!

Deepen the relationship between the two countries! "

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte's voice fell, De Luyens breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor did not want to attack Spain, but to win over Spain!

Thinking of this, De Luyens hurriedly said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, you are right! We should indeed unite with the Kingdom of Spain to put pressure on the Kingdom of Morocco!"

As soon as De Luyens finished speaking, Jerome Bonaparte showed an interesting smile on his face, and said again with a hint of playfulness, "However, I remember that the Queen of Spain's sister seems to be Montpang. The wife of Duke Siye, you should know about this!"

De Lu Yins's heart became tense again. He carefully swallowed and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, all the celebrities in France know this news!"

"No!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head, pointed at De Lu Yins and said seriously: "You are different! Mr. De Lu Yins, I remember that you were the secretary of the Madrid embassy. ,Right!"

How could His Majesty remember this!

De Luyens' hole shrank slightly, and his expression was not free and showed a touch of unnaturalness. After a while, De Luyens said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I was indeed the ambassador to Madrid at that time. The first secretary of the museum!

The wedding of the Duke of Montpensier to the apartment of Louis Fernanda, the sister of the Queen of Spain, was also the prime minister at the time, Thiers, who entrusted me to talk with the Madrid government.

Thiers promised me that after this marriage, I would be able to return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as Director of the Department of Commerce of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! "

"I see!" Jérôme Bonaparte showed a stunned expression, "No wonder you've been the secretary of the embassy in Madrid all of a sudden!"

"Your Majesty, I can assure you! I have no connection with Madrid!" De Lu Yins said to Jerome Bonaparte with his head down.

"Of course I know!" Jerome Bonaparte said to De Lu Yins kindly, "Minister Lu Yinsi, you don't need to explain anything!

Now you are my most important minister of the empire, and I trust you completely!

The reason why I say this is because I feel it!

I hope you don't have any psychological burden in your heart! "

In the second half of Jerome Bonaparte's words, De Lu Yins couldn't believe it, but he still had to show a grateful expression on his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" De Luyens replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

In fact, as Jerome Bonaparte said, among all the "bosses" that De Luyens has experienced, no one has ever held him so highly as Jerome Bonaparte,

All foreign policy decisions are made either according to his words or in consultation with him.

Therefore, De Luyens did not want to betray Jerome Bonaparte, even if the Princess Regent of Orleans, his old club, wrote to him personally, promising to make him the Prime Minister of the kingdom after the restoration. Unmoved.

God knows how many prime ministers the kingdom of Orleans has promised.

"What did you say just now!" While De Lu Yins was thinking, Jerome Bonaparte's voice reached De Lu Yins's ears again.

De Lu Yins quickly responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, you just said that you would join forces with the Kingdom of Spain to put pressure on the Kingdom of Morocco to make them return to normalcy!"

"Yes!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded to De Luyins and said, "You must let the Kingdom of Morocco understand how much harm it will do to them if they rely on one country and ignore the interests of other countries!"

"Yes!" De Lu Yinsi said.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte discussed with De Luyens about the ambassador of Post.

De Luyens told Jerome Bonaparte that the ambassador of Post was still in the Ottoman Empire.

"What a stupid guy!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a disdainful expression on his face, "I am afraid that he is still fantasizing about the United States of America, and can win them a chance of reconciliation with the Kingdom of Britain!

I really don't know, what the **** is going on in the mind of the Kingdom of Persia? "

"Your Majesty, I am afraid it will take some time for the Kaigar Kingdom to fully understand European diplomacy! Please wait a moment!" De Lu Yins replied calmly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"I'm not in a hurry!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and responded indifferently: "Anyway, the country that is occupied is not France, it's them who should be worried!

If we don't stop fighting, I'm afraid that the Kingdom of Britain will be able to directly hit their capital!

That dude from the Duke of Cambridge does have two brushes. When Britain was in the Crimea, Britain had to be half as capable as it is now, and we may have less time to win! "

After the Crimean War, the Kingdom of Great Britain carried out a certain degree of rectification in response to the existing army problems of the army. Some departments that should not have existed were abolished, and the problem of the difference in power has been significantly changed.

However, due to the short duration of the Crimean War, some of the problems of the British kingdom have not been discovered.

As a result, although the combat effectiveness of the British King's Army has been significantly improved compared with that of Britain before the Crimean War, it is still a lot worse than the British army in history.

In addition to Britain being able to fight a second war similar to the Crimea, it would be very difficult for Britain to go further.

[ps: In the history of otl, after the military reform of the Kingdom of Britain in the Crimean War, there was no second large-scale military reform for nearly thirteen years.

It was not until the start of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 that the Kingdom of Britain was awakened by Prussia and began military reforms. 】

"Your Majesty, the fact that the Duke of Cambridge has achieved such a victory is also inseparable from us!" De Luyens immediately touted Jerome Bonaparte: "If it weren't for our army's success in the Crimean War If the outstanding record stimulates them, the British army will not carry out military reform so quickly!"
