After beating Cavour, Jerome Bonaparte continued to devote himself to the study-bedroom-dining room, three-point and one-line life. During this period, foreign ministers of many countries wanted to ask to see Jerome Bonaparte , were sent by Jerome Bonaparte to Mocart to block the door.

The Foreign Minister had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with Wallevsky. The decision-making place for foreign affairs was gradually transferred from the Tuileries Palace back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wallewski has become the busiest person during this period. He not only has to discuss with foreign ministers of various countries when he is at work, but also after get off work, he will discuss the results one by one. Report to Jerome Bonaparte.

A week passed quickly, and the third Paris Peace Conference opened again.

The foreign ministers who participated in the meeting drove the carriage to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as before, but when they entered the hall and saw the names on the round table, they were surprised to find that Wallevsky, who was originally in the middle, was sitting on the left this time. side position.

At the same time, there is an extra chair under the portrait!

Just when everyone was surprised, Wallevsky appeared in front of them. This time he also arrived about 10 minutes earlier than the last two.

"Everyone, take a seat!" Wallevsky greeted everyone present at the rusher.

"Your Excellency Wallewski, shall we start now?" Earl Clarendon asked.

"No!" Wallevsky shook his head and said, "This time, it still starts at 2 o'clock!"

Having said that, Wallevsky sat in the position of the nameplate with his name on it.

Everyone also sat in their respective positions, and time passed quickly while waiting quietly.

After the grandfather clock in the hall struck two dull times, the door of the ambassador's hall slowly opened, and everyone in the hall turned their eyes to the hall door.

At the entrance of the hall, they saw Jerome Bonaparte in military uniform walking slowly into the hall, and behind him was Marshal Pelissier, who became famous on the Crimean battlefield. Marshal Canrobert and Bauquet, General Nière, Acting Chief of General Staff of France, and General Vaillant, aide-de-camp to the Emperor.

Such an all-star lineup made the foreign ministers in the hall feel inexplicable panic, they didn't understand what Jerome Bonaparte wanted to do.

"Misters, don't panic!" Jerome Bonaparte seemed to see what they were thinking, and with a kind smile on his face, he raised his hand and said to everyone present: "I am the same as you this time. Came with only a pair of ears!"

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte sat on the chair that had been prepared.

"Walewski, you can start!"

With the order of Jerome Bonaparte, Wallevsky started the third and final Paris Peace Conference.

Wallevsky first summed up the conditions drawn up by the countries in the first two games (actually not much different from the treaties drawn up by France and the Russian Empire), and then asked the foreign ministers present whether there was any need for supplements, or if they wanted to abolish them. conditions of.

Perhaps because of the presence of Jérôme Bonaparte, the foreign ministers of various countries did not make any supplements, and only Gorchakov raised objections on the issue of Bessarabia's autonomy.

Facing Gorchakov's objection, Valevsky did not speak, but turned his attention to Jerome Bonaparte.

Although the person who the emperor said came only with his ears, who would dare to take it seriously.

Seeing that Jerome Bonaparte, who saw Wallevsky hand over the right to speak to him, pondered for a moment, then he said to Ambassador Gorchakov: "I have an immature opinion here, I don't know Gorchakov. Is Mr. Koff interested in hearing about it?"

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Ambassador Gorchakov hurriedly said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"First of all, the rule that Bessarabia is still under Russian rule will not change. I think you should have no objection!" Jerome Bonaparte asked everyone present.

"No comment!"

"No comment!"



Everyone, including Count Clarendon, expressed no opinion, and then Jerome Bonaparte said to Ambassador Gorchakov: "However, in order to ease the possible conflict between the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire, Bessarabia can't have troops stationed! There should be no objection to this condition!"

"No!" Ambassador Gorchakov also responded.

Seeing that there was no objection from either side, Jérôme Bonaparte expressed his "suggestion", and of course he could also say the ruling.

The Russian Empire still rules Bessarabia. It can appoint government officials, police, and gendarmerie in Bessarabia, but it cannot establish a garrison in Bessarabia.

Equivalent to the demilitarization of the entire province of Bessarabia.

"What do you think of my suggestion?" Jerome Bonaparte said to everyone present.

Everyone present unanimously said that there is no problem with Jerome Bonaparte's proposal.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte once again handed over the right to speak to Wallevsky.

Valewski made another summary, this time Gorchakov made no objection.

The last session of the Paris Peace Conference took less than two hours and ended with a solemn announcement by Wallevsky.

"Don't leave yet, everyone! Let's take a group photo together!" Jerome Bonaparte then said to everyone present.

So at the suggestion of Jerome Bonaparte, the foreign minister had to stop and leave, and accompanied Jerome Bonaparte to take a photo.

After the photo shoot, Jerome Bonaparte invited everyone present to a dinner party.

The foreign ministers all agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's invitation, and the dinner time was set at 8 o'clock in the evening.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Jerome Bonaparte left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the minister.

That night, a grand banquet was held at the Tuileries Palace.

Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta enthusiastically shook hands with each of the foreign ministers.

During the conversation with the Austrian Foreign Minister Count Bauer, Jerome Bonaparte remembered what he had promised Cavour.

So, Jerome Bonaparte called Count Bauer aside and asked him whether the Austrian Empire would make certain concessions on the issue of Lombardy.

"Your Majesty, what kind of concessions are you referring to!" Count Bauer asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"Can the Austrian Empire hand over Lombardy to the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Jerome Bonaparte asked bluntly.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Count Bauer politely said to Jerome Bonaparte, "Lombardy and Venice are a sacred and inseparable part of the Austrian Empire..."

"Come on!" Jerome Bonaparte responded with disdain, "Lombardy is what you bought through the kingdom of Belgium, so there is nothing sacred and inseparable! In the end, you just don't see rabbits and don't throw eagles. !"

"Your Majesty!" Earl Bower reluctantly responded.

"That's it! What do you think of Silesia?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Count Bauer again.

Could it be that…

Count Bauer subconsciously swallowed, and then Jerome Bonaparte replied dryly: "Silesia is good, but it is now Prussian territory!"

"What happened to the Prussian territory? Can't the Prussian territory be taken back?" Jerome Bonaparte said to Count Bauer eloquently: "I think Silesia was originally the territory of the Austrian Empire! The Austrian Empire You should take back your own territory!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to take action against the Kingdom of Prussia?" Count Bauer swallowed again and asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"At the moment, there is no such plan!" Jerome Bonaparte hesitated, "but in the future, I just want to ask you, Count Bauer, would you like to get back the lost Silesia!"

"I..." After hesitating for a moment, Earl Bower nodded with determination: "Of course I would!"

"That's enough!" Jerome Bonaparte clapped his hands and said to Count Bauer.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Prussia is a member of the German Confederation!" Count Bauer reminded Jerome Bonaparte.

"What happened to a member of the German Confederation?" Jerome Bonaparte said to Count Bauer: "You will not announce the reorganization of the German Confederation, and then kick Prussia out of the Confederation!"

"This..." Count Bauer never thought of reorganizing the German Confederation.

"If you think about it, the reason why the German Confederation was rebuilt was mainly to guard against us, France! Now, our two countries are already good enough to wear a pair of pants. What's the use of keeping the current German Confederation?" Jerome Bonaparte continued to ask Count Bauer, "And now the whole of Germany has been bound together by the Prussian Kingdom using the Customs Union. As long as the Customs Union exists, the German vassal states will move towards Prussia every day. Approaching, the influence of the Austrian Empire on Germany will become lower and lower!

For now, only by completely abolishing the German Confederation and the German Customs Union can the Austrian Empire regain its leadership in Germany! "

"Your Majesty, why did you do this??" Count Bauer asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Bauer, I don't want a Germany unified by Prussia around me!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Count Bauer with a serious expression, "Its existence will become a formidable enemy of France!

Of course, my main purpose is to leave enough strategic depth for France! After the victory over Prussia in Austria, being able to be convenient in Rhineland France! "
