Chapter 266: Taking sides? We might as well lie behind the British Empire! (Please subscribe, please vote)

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 instead of looking for Napoleon II, they looked for Prince Metternich.

Before today, it was impossible for Prince Metternich to agree to let Napoleon II be the King of Rome without killing him just because Metternich felt it was not necessary for the time being. If this kid really posed a threat to the stability of the Austrian Empire,

Then he will be dead soon.

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.

It is also a danger that the confrontation between Britain and Rakshasa may get out of control. 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

I stopped loving my country because it was rotten and had no future, 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 Bourbon dynasty and the Habsburg dynasty are definitely "regressive forces", even worse than the Romanov dynasty of Rakshasa. The Romanov dynasty is still better

If serfdom can be abolished, the vast and backward Rakshasa can be bonded together.

The Bourbons and Habsburgs just wanted to stay put.

Because only by lying down can they live longer.

Letting Europe lie down is actually one of the goals of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhuge family - if the Europeans come to bite people on their own, of course that is the most ideal. If not, lie down and don't follow the British Empire to the battlefield and the Ming Dynasty

Confrontation is also a second priority.

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? You should 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 at least remains 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 first gathered allies. The British first transformed India, then roped in the United States, and signed some kind of North Atlantic-Indian Ocean Treaty. They also made the Rakshasa suffer a big loss when fighting the Turks, which made us

The country no longer fears Rakshasa, nor does it dare to rely on Rakshasa. Then it immediately launched Napoleon II, blackmailing Rakshasa to give in and remain neutral, and at the same time forced 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

By coming to the Kingdom of Jin, the British Empire will be able to gather a large number of big and small powers such as India, the United States, France, Austria, Prussia, Turkey, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

It can also make Rakshasa, Daikin and the South American countries remain neutral.

On the Ming side, there can be at most the Arab Empire, the Sultanate of Oman, the Japanese Empire, and the Mexican Empire. And among them, the Arab Empire is still in a quite unfavorable 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 up!"

"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 actually send troops, Britain

People can also make our industry work for them.”

The black-haired Louis nodded and said: "This is not bad. Let the British, Americans, and Indians fight hard, and we will make real money from them, while the Rakshasa people will watch maliciously from the side, ready at any time.

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 carry 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. This would be good for all of us."

When Napoleon II married a Bourbon princess, it showed that the leader of the Bonapartists had compromised with the Bourbons! This would greatly ease the hostility of the French Army towards the Bourbons. At the same time, it would allow Napoleon II to rule the Pope.

territory, which would plunge the Bonapartists into disputes with the Catholic Church and Italian nationalists (including the Carbonari and the Savoy dynasty).

This is beneficial to Austria's control of northern Italy. It is also beneficial to the influence of the French Bourbons on the Savoy Dynasty and the Bourbon Dynasty of the Two Sicilies. It may also delay the unification process of Italy. A unified Italian nation-state is of course both France and Austria.

Don't want 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 war on Algeria

Even if you can't conquer everything, you will overturn!

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 Mikhail 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 retain the island of Crete.

.With these territories, Nicholas I has an explanation for the Rakshasa country."
