Napoleon III really didn't want to live anymore. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't withstand Xiao Letian's humiliation. This could be said to have negated all his life's struggle, and by the way, it also negated the entire Bonaparte family!
The most humiliating thing is that there is no way to refute it, because everything Xiao Letian said is true...really!
The faith he had adhered to all his life was shattered, and the indestructible shamelessness he had cultivated throughout his life in politics was also cut open. At this moment, the Emperor really wanted to die. What was the point of living?
However, just when he hoped that both of you would die, Xiao Letian stopped him with just one sentence!
"You don't want your son anymore, right? You don't want Eugène Bonaparte's political life anymore, right? Your whole family has given up on restoration forever, right?"
"Okay, okay... Since you have completely given up on the Third Reich, what can I say? If you continue to go crazy, I say goodbye!"
After saying this, Xiao Letian turned around and ran away, but at this time the Emperor shouted, "Stop...stop!"
This earth-shattering sound scared the palace guards outside the door and rushed in!
"You all get out! All of you get out..." The Emperor's face was now an unhealthy scarlet color, and he stared at Xiao Letian. "What did you say? Say it again..."
"What you just said, do you represent yourself personally, or do you represent Bismarck...or William I?"
Xiao Letian did not answer directly. He watched the palace guards with embarrassed expressions walk out of the study and poured himself a glass of wine to ease the atmosphere.
"Now take a breath, sit here and take a rest... Give up the arrogance you had when you were the emperor. I am not here to embarrass you today, but to bring you good news..."
The amber whiskey was placed in a crystal glass, with two pieces of ice floating and colliding inside. The French Emperor was no longer as arrogant as before, and he was just a lonely old man holding the glass.
"Good news, what good news can I have? Is it considered good news to be humiliated by you?"
Xiao Letian took a few deep breaths to resist the urge to continue irritating his opponent, but said in a calm tone, "I admit that what I just said was indeed intended to humiliate. After all, you and I have been at war for many years!"
"There is enmity between you and me but no goodwill. So many people from my Chinese clan have died in battle because of you. Isn't it okay to even scold you?"
"Stop scolding you, if possible, I really want to shoot you!"
The King of France smiled sadly: "Whatever...I am a prisoner anyway, you can do it..."
"Although shooting you is temporarily satisfying, it will not do any good to our Chinese people, and it will not do any good to this war! Let's be honest, I am here to inform you today... We are ready to release you unconditionally!"
"Huh? Release me... unconditionally?" Napoleon III's hand shook and the wine spilled on the floor.
Napoleon III had no fear for his safety from the moment he was captured, and this was confirmed when he arrived at the renovated Fort William.
After all, he is the emperor, and European nobles will not make things right among themselves. Those who kill emperors and kings are barbaric peoples!
After Maximiliano was captured by the Mexicans, the major European powers, including the President of the United States, put pressure on the Mexican government to ensure the life safety of Emperor Maximiliano.
In the mainstream political circles in Europe and the United States, it is an iron rule not to kill senior politicians, especially nobles!
Therefore, Napoleon III never worried about his life safety. He knew that he would definitely be released in the end, but he did not expect that it would be so soon, and that he would be released unconditionally.
"Is it really unconditional? I'm afraid this rude world has no rules for a long time... Wasn't my old friend Maximiliano killed by barbarians..."
Xiao Letian waved his hand, "Don't test me, I'm telling the truth! Mexico is a special case. Those Mexicans are so unintelligent. Shooting the emperor is their biggest failure!"
"Killing a Habsburg prince, the younger brother of His Majesty Joseph... This kind of thing can only anger the nobles and politicians across Europe..."
"It will even arouse the disgust of the cultural elite! From now on, Mexico will not get any help from Europe and the United States. All talents will avoid this country. No one is willing to cooperate with them, and there will not be much investment. …”
"Mexico's national power will become weaker and weaker, and its powerful neighbor in the north will eat away at it little by little... Just wait, there must be a war between the United States and Mexico..."
"The country of Mexico... will never be able to enter the ranks of great powers, not even a third-rate power!"
Xiao Letian smiled coldly, "Kill you? And then make the nobles, politicians, and elite scholars around the world hate you? Won't our Chinese race become an evil country in the end?"
"Do I still engage in diplomacy? Do you think I'm stupid..."
Xiao Letian waved his hand, "Stop testing each other, let's talk openly and honestly... We will release you, of course, unconditionally, but there is also an additional condition that is very beneficial to you!"
"We hope you will use the influence of your Bonaparte family to inspire all royalists in France to fight against those republicans and leftists!"
"Split France from within, thus giving us the opportunity to create a quick victory!"
"Hahaha..." The French Emperor smiled. "Is this your unconditional attitude? You want me to harm my motherland! Do you really think I will accept it?"
Hey... Xiao Letian laughed relentlessly, "Stop pretending, as if you are so patriotic!"
"You love the French Empire, not the Republic! Don't tell lies in front of people who understand... You have to know that making such a decision will be beneficial to you without any harm!"
"Don't forget, the prince and queen are now waiting for your decision in England!"
"You have no hope. The French nation has abandoned you...but your son is different! In this Franco-Prussian War, Crown Prince Eugene's performance was remarkable!"
"First of all, he is brave. He is able to face hundreds of thousands of people marching and negotiate in person... How many times have you done this?"
"He is very diligent and smart... During the preparation of the empire's logistics supply work, how many corrupt officials did his team dig out? How many false accounts were discovered by him..."
"To put it bluntly, if the prince were a little older and took over the French army's logistics work three years in advance, I'm afraid you won't be able to lose this war!"
"The last point is also very important... The prince is beautiful and has high affinity. For politicians, a good skin is very useful... This is why the people like him!"
"The Crown Prince with such a good condition, are you willing to waste his life? Do you really not want him to restore the empire again? Stop pretending, we know exactly what you are thinking!"
