Make France Great Again

Chapter 978: 2 Pressures

Although the remaining two collaborators resisted in every possible way, they could not escape the fate of death.

In just fifteen minutes, three more heads appeared in the barrel.

The originally bright guillotine blade also became particularly frightening because it harvested three heads in a row.

"From dust shall return to dust. May the love of the Lord be with you forever, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen." Archbishop Morlo made a simple prayer for the three Orsini with a pious expression. After praying, he left the execution ground.

After taking one look at the three heads in the barrel, the officer showed a look of disgust on his face, and then quickly ordered his men to place the heads of the three Orsini people in the small coffin prepared in advance, and then ordered One sentence, "Don't get the wrong head!"

The soldiers obeyed the officer's order, reached into the barrel and took out the heads, then placed their heads in different coffins (the headless bodies had already been lying in the coffins), and then closed the coffin lids.

Immediately afterwards, the officer divided the soldiers into two groups. One group of soldiers was responsible for returning the guillotine, while the other group of soldiers worked together to carry the coffin to the cemetery for burial.

When Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting in the study of the Tuileries Palace correcting documents, heard the news of Orsini's death, he felt relieved.

The trial of Orsini came to an end with the death of Orsini and his accomplices.

However, the series of political problems caused by Orsini did not end with Orsini's death, but gradually reached their peak with Orsini's death.

After all, after the death of Orsini, who was the party involved, the French Empire could openly use Orsini's confession to attack the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte immediately called Basilio and asked him to go to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in person.

"Basilio, you should go to the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately and order Foreign Minister De Luiz to continue to put pressure on the Kingdom of Sardinia.

This time the attitude must be tougher than last time, but not too tough, and leave some room for maneuver. Now is not the time for a showdown!

have you understood? "

After hearing this, Basilio responded respectfully to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I will tell Monsignor Ruiz immediately!"

"Yes!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then said, "Go back quickly!"

Basilio left the Tuileries Palace in a carriage and soon arrived at the "Port d'Orsay" to meet with De Ruys.

After hearing that he was a visitor from the Tuileries Palace, De Ruys quickly put down his work and met with Basilio.

When he found out that Basilio came in person, a surprised expression appeared on his face, "Director Basilio, why did you come in person!"

After saying that, De Ruys quickly gave the order to the secretary next to him to deliver two cups of coffee to the office.

De Luys raised his hand to stop him, and then said, "No need to bother! I'll just say a word and leave!"

"What instructions does your Majesty have?" De Luys asked Basilio curiously.

"Your Majesty ordered me to inform your Ministry of Foreign Affairs that you can continue to put pressure on the Sardinian Embassy!" Basilio responded to De Luys.

After hearing this, De Ruys had a look of surprise on his face, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, Chief Steward, didn't we just put pressure on you a few days ago? Why are we still putting pressure on you now?"

After Basilio hesitated for a moment, he expressed his suspicion and said, "I guess His Majesty is preparing to strangle Sardinia to death bit by bit like a python strangling its prey!

By the way, His Majesty also said not to force the Kingdom of Sardinia too much and to pay attention to the scale!

Now is not the time for a complete showdown! "

"All right!"

Although De Ruys thought that Jérôme Bonaparte was unnecessary, since the emperor asked them to continue to put pressure, then De Ruys

Si did not want to disobey the emperor's will.

"I've said everything I need to say, so I'll leave first!" Basilio responded to De Luys.

"Let me see you off!" De Luiz quickly stood up to say goodbye to Basilio.

De Ruys and Basilio walked side by side from the office to the outside of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building. Basilio, who was standing near the door, suddenly asked De Ruys in a low voice, "Mr. Ruis, Do you know what Ambassador Richard Mettner is doing recently?”

De Luys shook his head after hearing this. He didn't understand what Basilio meant when he suddenly said this.

"I don't know! Forget it if you don't know!" Basilio said lightly, and with De Ruiz's confused eyes, he left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a carriage.

"Mr. Basilio, what do you mean?"

De Luys, who was standing there, muttered something in a low voice. Basilio's words made him puzzled.

De Ruys returned to the office step by step with doubts. Suddenly, just as the office door was about to close, De Ruys thought of something.

Wait, Richard Metternich...the Austrian Empire...the Apennine Peninsula...

De Ruys thought that the Austrian Empire was also a huge force in the Apennine Peninsula. The reason why Basilio said this meant that His Majesty the Emperor had colluded with the Austrian Empire.

Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on De Luys's lips.

Being good at tactical deception, he never imagined that one day he would experience the feeling of being deceived.

De Ruys had a hunch that the Austrian Empire and the Emperor should have reached some kind of oral or written agreement.

It's just that De Luys and his Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not yet clear.

This was the case with backroom politics in the 19th century. The country's direction and diplomacy were largely based on secret agreements between monarchs.

The time when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs learns the truth is usually after the secret agreement is completely concluded.

At that time, it will become extremely difficult for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to change the secret treaty between the emperor and the emperor.

Although De Ruys complained in his heart that Jerome Bonaparte reached a secret agreement with the Austrian Empire without authorization while bypassing their Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the moment he could only choose to follow Emperor Jerome Bonaparte's orders. Ordered to go down.

As for when Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte would tell him all the plans, that could only depend on His Majesty's mood.

Subsequently, De Ruys issued an order to his state secretaries, ordering them to go to the Sardinian Embassy in France to invite Della Rocca to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again.

The State Secretary took the order and left. Half an hour later, the State Secretary arrived with Ambassador Della Rocca.

"Your Majesty, Minister! Why did you come to see me this time?" Ambassador Dela Rocca curiously asked Minister De Ruiz in front of him.

With an expression of deep disgust, De Ruiz said to Ambassador Della Rocca, "Your Excellency, Orsini is dead!"

Ambassador Dela Rocca was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized the subtext of De Ruys.

Now that Orsini, the culprit, is dead, when will Della Roca's promise to him be fulfilled.

"Minister Ruiz, this...this...we are...still discussing!" Ambassador Dela Rocca responded hesitantly to De Ruiz.

"Discuss, how long are you going to discuss?" De Ruiz raised his voice and asked Della Rocca, "Are you waiting for us to forget about this matter and then find two random people to fool us! "

"Don't dare!" Ambassador Dela Roca responded quickly to De Luys.

Although Della Rocca did have this intention, he could not say it in front of De Ruiz.

"Then when will you be able to give me an accurate answer!" De Ruiz asked Dela Roca aggressively.

"one

moon! "Dela Rocca pointed out a finger and said to De Ruiz, "Please give me another month!

I can guarantee to give France a satisfactory answer! "

"One month?" De Ruiz shook his head and said to Dela Roca, "No! I can't give you another month. I only give you half a month to think about it!"

If you still can't give me an answer, then the French Empire will reconsider its relationship with the Kingdom of Sardinia! "

"Yes! I will definitely let Sardinia make a decision as soon as possible!" Della Rocca said to De Ruys in a low voice.

De Ruiz's attitude immediately changed from gloomy to sunny. A smile broke out on his face again, and he said earnestly to Della Rocca, "That's right! Ambassador Rocca, our two countries are a pair that depends on each other. ally!

I think you will not let me down, right? "

Della Roca showed a wry smile and nodded, saying that he would do his best to complete this matter.

At the same time, at the Tuileries Palace, about one kilometer away from the Quai d'Orsay.

Jérôme Bonaparte was talking with Ambassador Richard Metner.

"Mr. Richard, I think your Austrian Empire can take some actions!" Jérôme Bonaparte said bluntly to Richard Meite, "For example, conduct a certain scale of war in Venice and Lombardy. mobilization!"

"Your Majesty, between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia..." Richard Mette hesitated to speak.

"We will sever diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Sardinia as soon as possible! At that time, the task of teaching Sardinia a lesson will be left to you!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Richard Metzer, "But , when your attack is afraid of Sardinia, it is best to be a little faster!

Once you fail to defeat Sardinia quickly, the British Kingdom may consider joining the war.

By that time, the overall situation will be unfavorable to your Austrian Empire! "

"We will!" Richard Maitre replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.
