When Prince Metternich returned to his official residence in Vienna, French Prince Louis of Marseille and Foreign Minister Talleyrand had been waiting there for a long time.
These two men had actually come to Austria a long time ago, but they did not go to Napoleon II, but to Prince Metternich.
Before today, it was impossible for Prince Metternich to agree to let Napoleon II become the King of Rome... He was not killed just because Metternich felt it was not necessary for the time being. If this kid really wanted Austria If he posed a threat to the stability of the empire, his life would be short.
In the original history, after the revolutionary storm of 1830, Napoleon II received a case of tuberculosis of his own, and then died after a year or two at the age of only 21!
However, the British's attempt to use Napoleon II as a shit-stirring stick to stir up the delicious-looking bucket of shit in front of Tsar Nicholas I made Metternich feel dangerous - Napoleon II was a danger, The confrontation between Britain and Rakshasa may spiral out of control, and she is also in danger. And once the shit in this big cesspit of Europe is stirred up by the British, the Austrian Empire and the Habsburg Dynasty will come to an end.
As a true patriot, Metternich would not allow his decadent, backward and dying Austrian motherland to be drowned by the shit stirred up by the British - a true patriot would not allow his own When the country was rotten and had no future, I stopped loving it, so I went to live in the brother country next door.
And the Bourbon dynasty, which is as decadent, rigid and dying as the Austrian Empire, is undoubtedly his staunchest ally at this time.
Equivalent to France and Austria, which have opened the door to the second industrial revolution, the Bourbons and Habsburgs are definitely "regressive forces", even worse than the Romanov dynasty of Rakshasa. At least the Romanov dynasty was able to abolish serfdom, and at least it was able to glue together the vast and backward Rakshasa.
And the Bourbons and the Habsburgs... they just wanted to stay put.
Because only by lying flat can they live longer.
Letting Europe lie flat is actually one of the goals of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhuge family - if the Europeans themselves come to bite others, that is of course the most ideal. If that doesn't work, lying down and not following the British Empire into the battlefield to fight against the Ming Dynasty is the next best thing.
Talleyrand had a good personal relationship with Metternich. When he saw him walking in angrily, he asked with concern: "Prince, you don't look very good today. Are you too tired from working for the country? Please pay attention." rest!"
The black-haired Louis also smiled and asked: "Prince, have you met the British Foreign Secretary and the Admiralty Secretary? This time, how are the British islanders going to torture us Europeans?"
"They want to use Napoleon II to force Nicholas I to withdraw his troops from Moldavia, Wallachia and Rumelia!" Prince Metternich said, "Moreover, they also hope that the Rakshasa Kingdom will change its pro-Ming Dynasty The policy...is at least neutral."
Prince Metternich glanced at the black-haired Louis again and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid our two countries will have to line up between Mingying and Yingying!
Before the war, we must first gather allies... The British first transformed India, then roped in the United States, and signed a North Atlantic-Indian Ocean Treaty together. He also made the Rakshasa suffer great losses when fighting the Turks, so that our countries no longer fear the Rakshasa and do not dare to rely on the Rakshasa. Then they immediately introduced Napoleon II, blackmailing Rakshasa to give in and remain neutral, and at the same time forcing our two countries and Prussia to join the North Atlantic-Indian Ocean Convention.
And we European powers have a strong influence on those in South America. If we side with the British Empire, then at least they will not side with the Ming Dynasty. The British Empire and the Rakshasa Empire together can influence the Kingdom of Jin... In this way, the British Empire will be able to gather India, the United States, France, Austria, Prussia, Turkey, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and a large number of large and small powers. It can also keep Rakshasa, Daikin, and the South American countries neutral.
On the Ming side, there can be at most the Arab Empire, the Sultanate of Oman, Japan, and the Mexican Empire. And the Arab Empire among them is still in a quite disadvantageous situation... It seems that the British Empire is temporarily ahead! "
The black-haired Louis smiled and said: "Prince, who said we are on the side of the British Empire?"
"Duke, what do you mean..." Metternich looked at the black-haired Louis, a little confused.
The black-haired Louis laughed: "We are allies lying behind the British Empire! We can't stand up at all, and we don't intend to stand!"
"Lying behind the British Empire..." Duke Metternich laughed, "Yes, we are lying behind the British Empire, but this is still beneficial to the British Empire, isn't it? Even if we don't There will be real troops, and the British can make our industry work for them.”
The black-haired Louis nodded and said: "This is not bad. Let the British, Americans, and Indians fight desperately, and we will earn real money from them, while the Rakshasa people will watch maliciously from the side, ready at any time. Take a big gamble!"
Metternich snorted: "It's indeed good...it's good until the British spend their last rupee! But what about after that?"
after that? After that, will the British Empire bring out Napoleon II again?
The black-haired Louis looked back at the lame and paralyzed Bonapartist Talleyrand. The French foreign minister was holding a cup of coffee and tasting it carefully. When he saw Louis' eyes, he just smiled and said: " It would be better for Napoleon II to marry Princess Louise of France and then go to Rome and become King of Rome... It would be good for all of us.”
Napoleon II married a Bourbon princess, which showed that the leader of the Bonapartists had compromised with the Bourbons! This would significantly lessen the hostility of the French Army towards the Bourbons. At the same time, allowing Napoleon II to rule the papal territories would bring the Bonapartists into disputes with the Catholic Church and Italian nationalists (including the Carbonari and the House of Savoy).
This would facilitate Austria's control of northern Italy, and the French Bourbons' influence over the Houses of Savoy and the Bourbons of the Two Sicilies. It might also slow down the unification of Italy...a unified Italian nation-state. Of course, neither France nor Austria wants to see it.
Metternich thought for a while and nodded, "If you think it's appropriate, then we Austrians have no reason to object, just let the King of Rome rule Rome!"
The black-haired Louis breathed a sigh of relief. Napoleon II stayed in Austria, and was also noticed by the British Empire. This was really unfavorable to the Bourbon dynasty... This was a bomb that could explode at any time!
Moreover, even if Napoleon II is physically eliminated, the Bonaparte family will introduce a new Napoleon, and the relationship between the Bonapartists and the Bourbon dynasty will not ease. Without the support of the Bonapartists, France's conquest of Algeria would be in vain!
Talleyrand on the side smiled and said: "Now that we have reached an agreement, it is time to discuss these matters with the Foreign Secretary and Admiralty Minister of the British Empire. As long as the British Empire can agree, then the Bourbon and Bonaparte dynasties will Reconciliation is now entirely possible."
Metternich said: "I think Robert Peel and Viscount Palmerston will definitely agree, but before these arrangements are made public, I have to have a good talk with Grand Duke Michael of the Rakshasa Kingdom. If the Tsar doesn't want to see it, When Napoleon's empire reappears, he'd better reach a compromise with the British and at least give up the Ottoman Empire's Rumelia Province and the Principality of Wallachia...at most he can only annex the Principality of Moldavia and Keep the island of Crete. With these territories, Nicholas I has an explanation for the Rakshasa country."
