Make France Great Again

Chapter 595: Not too expensive

When Franz Joseph asked Jerome Bonaparte what the conditions were, Jerome Bonaparte immediately understood that Franz Joseph was already interested, and a low-interest loan of 500 million francs was enough for any monarch Bow your head for it.

However, after Franz Joseph said this, he added another sentence: "If France wants to make the loan condition of the Austrian Empire's participation in the war, please forgive me and I cannot agree!"

"Don't worry! Our condition is not this!" Jerome Bonaparte said slowly: "The Austrian Empire only needs to make some noise in the Principality of the Danube, such as holding a military exercise, etc., to attract people in the border area. The Russian army's attention is enough! You can leave the rest alone!"

"The military exercise is likely to turn into a war!" Franz Joseph said worriedly to Jerome Bonaparte: "Please forgive me..."

Before Franz Joseph could finish speaking, Jerome Bonaparte rudely interrupted Franz Joseph and said, "Franz, my brother! There is no way in this world that you don't take risks. A good thing to be able to gain benefits, the Austrian Empire will not do this, nor will it, it is difficult for us to believe that the Austrian Empire really wants to form an alliance with us!"

"Yeah!" Prince Albert once again helped: "It can't be, our two countries are fighting desperately for European peace in the front! The Austrian Empire does nothing, just follow us and enjoy our lead. The benefits of coming!"

"It's just for you to hold a military exercise in the border area, not for a confrontation with the Russian Empire!" Jerome Bonaparte spoke again to dispel Franz Joseph's concerns.

He told Franz Joseph that if he was really worried that the Russian Empire would launch an attack on the Austrian Empire because of the Austrian Empire's exercises on the Russian-Austrian border, Britain and France could provide guarantees for the Austrian Empire. As long as Russia attacks the Danube Principality, then Britain and France will form an intervention army at the first time to help them jointly resist the invasion of the Russian Imperial Army!

Franz Joseph, who had cleared his concerns, recalled the prospect of industrialization that Prince Metternich had described for him, and also thought of the low-interest loan of 500 million francs that Jerome Bonaparte had promised him.

"Okay! I promise you!" Facing the temptation of a low-interest loan, Franz Joseph finally agreed to the conditions of Jerome Bonaparte and Albert. He turned his attention to Prince Albert and said: "Mr. Albert, I hope that Britain can also provide us with a loan of the same size as France to help the construction of the Austrian Empire!"

Prince Albert hesitated for a moment, and then euphemistically said to Franz Joseph that he could only provide the Austrian Empire with a loan of eight million pounds, or about 200 million francs in francs!

"Yes!" Franz Joseph nodded to Prince Albert.

Later, Franz Joseph proposed to Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Albert a 100-million-dollar proposal for "the Russian Empire may start a war with the Austrian Empire because of the Austrian Empire's military exercises in the Principality of the Danube". Military Loan Request.

Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Albert agreed without hesitation to Franz Joseph.

After all, if the Russian Empire army really chooses to attack the Danube Principality, the 400,000 troops of the Austrian Empire will become their most loyal allies, and the time to defeat the Russian Empire will be greatly advanced.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had finished discussing business affairs, walked out of the back room. Queen Victoria first said, "Are you finished?"

"It's over!" Prince Albert responded to Queen Victoria.

"Then it should be ready to serve now!" Augusta asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"Have you not eaten yet?" said Jerome Bonaparte with a surprised look on his face.

"Not yet!" Augusta shook his head.

"Then what are you waiting for? Serve!" Jerome t. Bonaparte gave the order to the squire standing at the gate.

The attendants hurried to the back kitchen to pass the dishes, and the three of Jerome Bonaparte sat directly opposite the three of Augusta.

After a while, several attendants pushed wooden carts into the room. Each cart was divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. Each layer had one or two dishes, and the top layer had another one. Unopened bottle of Bordeaux wine and whisky.

The attendant placed the dishes on the cart in front of Jerome Bonaparte, and in front of each person were placed 5 dishes (caviar, French snails, foie gras...) and a bottle of Bordeaux wine and whiskey .

"Wine or whisky?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Prince Albert and Franz Joseph.

"Whiskey (Albert)/Wine (Franz Joseph Prince Albert and Franz Joseph replied in tandem.

Immediately, Prince Albert and Franz Joseph looked at each other and smiled.

"What about you! Beautiful ladies?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Augusta and the others.

"I'd better forget it!" Queen Augusta, who was pregnant, shook her head and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Neither do I!"

"Me too!"

Victoria and Yin Lisabai said.

Jerome Bonaparte hesitated for a few seconds, his eyes constantly swaying between wine and whisky, and finally chose wine.

The attendants opened the whisky and wine respectively, and poured wine into the glasses of the three monarchs.

A glass of dark yellow whiskey and two glasses of scarlet wine were placed on the dining table, and Jerome Bonaparte made an inviting gesture.

Prince Albert and Franz Joseph took their own wine, and Jerome Bonaparte also put the wine in front of him.

"May the friendship between our three countries last forever, and I also wish you and your partners good health and happiness forever!"

Jerome Bonaparte stood up and raised his glass to Prince Albert and Franz Joseph.

Prince Albert and Franz Joseph also stood up and raised their wine glasses. The three goblets collided with each other and made a crisp and pleasant sound. Then the three of them sat down slowly and drank the wine in the glasses. !

The whole banquet lasted for an hour and a half, and the three people who had eaten and drank left the castle in a carriage that had already been prepared.

Albert and Queen Victoria returned to the Louvre, Franz Joseph and Princess Lisabeth returned to the Tuin-leuri with Queen Augusta, and Jerome Bonaparte went to the barracks alone.

Shortly after Franz Joseph dragged his slightly drunk body into the room, a knock came from outside the room.

"Who?" Franz Joseph, who was sitting on the sofa, asked indifferently.

"Your Majesty, it's me!" Prince Metternich's voice came in from outside the room.

"The door of the room is not locked! Come in!" Franz Joseph responded to Prince Metternich.

Prince Metternich who entered the room came to Franz Joseph, bowed to Franz Joseph and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

"Mr. Metternich, sit down!" Franz Joseph stretched out his hand and said to Prince Metternich.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prince Metternich straightened up and responded to Franz Joseph, then sat next to Franz Joseph and explained, "Your Majesty, I really don't know that during the military parade in the French Empire. And the prisoners of war in the Russian Empire! If I had known this was the case, I would never have let you participate!"

"Demon Museum"

"Mr. Metternich, this was a few hours ago! I was a little angry at first, but now I'm not angry anymore!" Franz Joseph waved his hand and said to Prince Metternich.

Hearing Franz Joseph's answer, Prince Metternich breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want the Austrian Synergy, which he had worked so hard to maintain, to become a moon in the water because of this incident~www.readwn.com~ Flowers in the mirror.

"Just now Jerome and Albert promised me that France and Britain will provide the Austrian Empire with low-interest loans of 500 million francs and 8 million pounds respectively in the next few years!" Franz Joseph said. Said to Prince Metternich excitedly.

Looking at Franz Joseph's blushing cheeks due to alcohol, Prince Metternich wondered if his emperor was talking drunk.

Britain and France willing to provide low-interest loans to the Austrian Empire for free? Thinking about it makes me feel a little unreliable!

"Your Majesty, didn't His Majesty Jerome and Prince Albert add other conditions to this loan?" Prince Metternich asked politely.

He was a little afraid that Franz Joseph was buried by Jerome Bonaparte and Albert.

"They said that the Austrian Empire must hold a military exercise in the Principality of the Danube, which would put a certain amount of pressure on the Russian Empire! Only in this way will they be willing to give aid to the Austrian Empire!" Franz Joseph reluctantly suppressed the urge to hiccup to May Prince Terne responded.

Conditions are not outrageous! Prince Metternich finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion I don't know if you are willing to listen to it!" Prince Metternich said to Franz Joseph.

"What advice?" Franz Joseph asked curiously.

Prince Metternich told Franz Joseph that once the military parade reached the ears of Nicholas I, Nicholas I would definitely be angry because of the complete betrayal of the Austrian Empire. The relationship will also change from the original friend to the enemy.

Since the Russian and Austrian relations were to no avail, the Austrian Empire simply resorted to the prestige of the French Empire to make the Russian Empire cast its teeth.
