Listening to the Queen's words, Napoleon III suddenly burst into laughter from his heart, "Hahahahahaha, this is really the funniest joke I have ever heard!"
Perhaps it was the absinthe that took effect again, and Napoleon III's smile looked extremely crazy.
"In my eyes, the only one that can compete with France is Britain. What kind of opponent is Prussia? He just won two battles by luck. Denmark's strength is not worth mentioning. Even Austria is just a defeat under my hand." !”
Napoleon III certainly had his pride. It was not surprising that Denmark was just a small European country and lost to Prussia. Even Austria, which had a profound foundation, was just defeated by France.
At the same time that the British and French forces invaded the Qing Dynasty, Napoleon III personally led the army into Italy and wiped out the state troops and the Austrian army who did not obey the Pope.
In the end, the Austrian Emperor could only sign the contract in despair. Even if Prussia defeated such an opponent, it would not be a big deal.
"My dear wife, please remember that the only threat to France is the United Kingdom. Any other country is a small player and cannot become a big deal."
Eugenie looked at her husband with an exaggerated expression and a crazy smile, and a feeling of worry emerged from the bottom of her heart: "My dear Louis, I think you underestimate Prussia too much. I have just returned from the German mineral spring city of Schwarbach. This visit to the German Federation It touched me deeply”
"The whole of Prussia is now a big barracks, big construction sites, new railways, roads are being extended every day, and factories are being built in almost all city suburbs."
"There are training chants everywhere in the reserve barracks, and all Prussian businessmen have been mobilized and are purchasing various military supplies from all over Europe!"
"Bismarck is preparing for war, and the whole of Prussia is preparing for war. Two consecutive victories have made Prussia's domestic morale extremely high. Even if the people are poor and only eat potato soup, they have no complaints because they have a hope of victory in their hearts!"
"Not only in Prussia, but also in other German-speaking areas of the German Federation such as Hesse, Bavaria, and the Rhineland, the people's momentum has also been aroused. Countless teachers, freelance writers, and newspapers have advocated the rise of the German nation. These I see it all clearly, so you have to be vigilant!"
It's a pity that Queen Eugenie's earnest words did not wake up the French Emperor. He shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the loose federation of Germany is destined to not succeed. What you see is just the appearance."
"My wife, you know, just three days ago, Bismarck's emissary came to see me and brought me a message from Bismarck. This cunning guy has a tough and iron-blooded attitude on the surface. But do you know what he said to me in private?"
"Bismarck said that as long as France gives up its claim to the territory on the west bank of the Rhine, they will give up their involvement in the Spanish throne and are willing to sign a treaty of friendship and peace with us."
"My dear, I know Bismarck too well. He is acting tough just to maintain his iron-blooded rule, because the continuous conquests of Prussia have drained the wealth of the people, and their people are now extremely poor. Down and out!"
"That's why he needs to use strong illusions to give those people spiritual food, so that they can temporarily forget the delicious taste of white bread and eat unpalatable black bread."
“This is a common tactic used by rulers, so it’s not surprising.”
Eugenie snorted coldly, "You think so, and Franz Joseph thought so too, but what's the result? It's not like you haven't seen the ending of the Austro-Prussian War, aren't you a little vigilant?"
"I heard that Xiao Letian brought two thousand elites with him to Europe this time. What do you think he is going to do? Don't forget that various intelligence has confirmed that the Chinese and Prussia are already a paramilitary alliance!"
Speaking of Xiao Letian, Napoleon III, who had just fallen into a fanatical and arrogant mood, was confused again. To be honest, Napoleon III was not afraid of the strength of the Chinese people, what he was afraid of was just the unknown.
He couldn't understand Xiao Letian. He couldn't understand everything this Oriental man did. It was precisely because of this sense of mystery that he felt a sense of worry and fear in his subconscious.
"Well, what you said makes sense, but don't worry, France is not afraid of Prussia's challenge, even if Xiao Letian is added to it, it doesn't matter!"
"My generals and staff have conducted war games many times. The result every time is that France wins. Regardless of whether there are Xiao Letian's two thousand reinforcements or not, the result is the same."
Queen Eugenie sneered and said, "It's better to be more prepared. Unexpected things will always happen in wars. Have you forgotten what happened to your uncle?"
When the world-civilized Emperor Napoleon was mentioned, the nephew who had stolen his uncle's reputation suddenly fell silent. The Battle of Waterloo was a long-standing pain in the family, and every time it was mentioned, it broke the heart.
"Okay! Since you think so highly of these clowns, I have decided that if the situation develops to a point where war is necessary, I will leave Paris and fight in person!"
"My Queen, when the time comes, you will sit in Paris and help me regent this empire!"
Eugenie curled her lips and said, "Looking for me? I don't have the ability to look for your lovers, do you? Do you need me to point them out for you one by one?"
Napoleon III suddenly became embarrassed. He walked over and hugged his wife's shoulders and whispered, "My Montijo! Don't be jealous. That's all in my past. At this age, I no longer have the desire to chase women." "
"Besides, you are the queen of the empire, and you are my wife. Why should my deep love be like those toys? They have no political ability!"
"Only you, my personal diplomat, your presence is the glory of my France!"
Women always like to talk sweetly. Although this couple had a long-term cold war because of other women, they were still able to come together and support each other at the most critical moment for the family.
After a short period of tenderness, Eugenie was still a little worried, "My dear, I think the empire should make further preparations. I'm not saying that your self-confidence is not good, but in the face of national war, I think all our caution is necessary. of!"
"Could it be that you have a deeper hidden card?" Eugenie asked carefully.
Napoleon III smiled, "Of course, my queen, of course I have a deeper trump card, and that trump card is on the other side of the strait!"
"Perhaps you can't believe it. Six months ago, I sent a special envoy to reach a private agreement with British Prime Minister Benjamin. This British Prime Minister hated Xiao Letian and his Chinese people."
"Do you know what Aiwujiwu means? Because of this, he even hates Xiao Letian's ally Prussia, so at a critical moment, Britain is destined to lend a helping hand to us!" m. ()
