1825 My New Daming

On the outskirts of Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Snow has just fallen here, completely dyeing this magnificent palace white.At the same time when Princess Victoria and King Lu of Ming Dynasty Zhu Xiyou held hands and danced, three carriages galloped into the palace.

The door of the carriage was opened by the servants of Schönbrunn Palace, and four people, two men and two women, got down from above.The two men are Viscount Palmerston, Lord of the Admiralty, and Sir Hardy, First Lord of the Sea.

Of those two women, one is Sophie, the wife of Archduke Franz Karl.

The other is a middle-aged woman in her early forties, with a long face, large facial features, and protruding eyeballs, she looks a bit like Emperor Franz I of Austria.She got out of a carriage with Princess Sophie and looked at the Schönbrunn Palace garden in front of her, but she frowned and said to Princess Sophie in a low voice: "Sophie, I'm really doing the right thing. something?"

"Your Majesty, of course you are doing the right thing!" Princess Sophie actually called this woman a queen!But she is not the queen of Austria, but the queen of France!

She was Marie Louise, wife of Emperor Napoleon, and at the same time she was the Grand Duchess of Austria, Princess of Hungary and Bohemia, and the Duchesses of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla and Countess of Nepeg - very long His title is almost comparable to "Dragon Mother"!If nothing else, she will soon be able to get the title of Empress Dowager of France!

Sophie then said to her, "Both France and Austria are looking forward to the restoration of the Bonaparte dynasty, and only the restoration of the Bonaparte dynasty can resolve the huge crisis that Austria is currently facing! Otherwise, your father and Prime Minister Metternich will He will not be allowed to leave Austria for France, and the British government will not be willing to finance the restoration of the Bonapartist dynasty."

Mary Louise smiled bitterly: "It's incredible that Napoleon's son has now become the savior of the Austrian Empire and Britain."

"Your Majesty," Viscount Palmerston interjected at this moment, "our British Empire has neither permanent friends nor permanent enemies, but only permanent interests! Back then we opposed Emperor Napoleon because we seriously violated our interests, and now We stand by your son because it would be good for the British Empire that he be Emperor of France."

"But can he really come to power?" Mary Louise shook her head. "After all, he is not his father. The rule of Louis XVII is not too bad, is it?"

"Your Majesty," said Viscount Palmerston with a smile, "in all fairness, Louis XVII's rule was not bad, but it was not what the French people expected. The French people needed a great leader, and they expected someone to lead them Recast the former glory. But Louis XVII can only lead his people to endure hardships, and he himself cannot share the joys and sorrows with the people. Moreover, he wants the French people to continue to support a group of useless court nobles who only waste money .”

Mary Louise snorted: "But such a person may threaten the Austrian Empire and the British Empire. Viscount, don't you really think this is a bit contradictory?" …

"No, that's not a contradiction," said Viscount Palmerston with a smile, "because the French are always full, but impatient.

What they need is a leader who is as charismatic as Emperor Napoleon and can perform miracles for them.Rather than Louis XVII's king who seems to be fooling around, but in fact can continue to enrich the national power. "

Viscount Palmerston's words were not just casually, but were supported by a large amount of statistical data.

Although France's life was not easy under the leadership of Louis XVII, France's industrial strength-steel, coal, electricity, shipbuilding, etc., have been growing steadily for more than a decade.The gap with the UK is also narrowing.

If he can really win northern Italy and the Rhine region, it will only be a matter of time before France's industrial strength surpasses that of Britain.At that time, Britain will not be the second in the world, but the second in Europe...

And what worries Viscount Palmerston most is the growing French navy!

Unlike Britain, what Louis XVII spent a lot of money to develop was not always a navy suitable for ocean-going operations.

In the past few years, the battleships built by the French with the technology of the Ming Dynasty are all heavy artillery, emphasizing firepower and defense, ignoring speed and range.

According to Louis XVII himself, these battleships of the French Navy are all used for combat in the Mediterranean Sea - fighting in the small pool of the Mediterranean Sea does not require high speed and long battery life.

But these heavy artillery iron lump ships can also be used in the English Channel!
If the French take advantage of the absence of the British home fleet and launch a landing assault with their battleships, the history of the British Empire may come to an end...

This is the main reason that prompted the Duke of Wellington to make up his mind to overthrow the Bourbon dynasty!
"Your Majesty," Viscount Palmerston looked at Mary Louise, "Let's meet the future Emperor Napoleon II now!"

Mary Louise nodded and said, "Okay, I hope what we are doing now is right!"

……

France, Dunkirk.

Louis XVII, King of France, had just boarded a brand new warship moored next to the Dunkirk Naval Port at this time.

This is a very large warship, and it seems that the standard displacement exceeds [-] tons.

Moreover, it also has five turrets with a total of ten 305mm caliber main guns!
The name of this battleship is Alexander I... It is named after the Rakshasa Tsar Alexander I!

The tsar had the grace of rebuilding the Bourbons.And naming a brand-new French battleship after the tsar certainly shows Louis XVII's determination to unite Rakshasa!

Louis XVII is now boarding the Alexander I, with the purpose of personally sending his daughter, Princess Louise, to Riga to marry Alexander the Great.

Then, he had to discuss with Raksha Tsar Nicholas I about dividing up the European continent.

Viscount Palmerston said that Louis XVII might raid England, that was really overthinking.

Louis XVII really didn't have that kind of talent, and he wasn't the kind of gambler who wanted to gamble on the fate of the country at every turn.

However, Louis XVII will not do nothing in this great change in the world.

What he wants to do now is to carve up the European continent with the Raksha Kingdom—the Raksha Kingdom has a lot of black people, so they can share more and take down Constantine and the Balkans.

If the French are less troublesome, they will have less points, and it will be good to take northern Italy.As for the German states such as Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, and Hesse, just let them maintain the buffer zone.Lest France and Rakshasa directly border.

After the territory is divided, the Raksha Kingdom will be East Rome, and France will still be France.

Louis XVII had no interest in Western Rome or anything.He knew that most of the Western Roman emperors died badly, but he still wanted to live a good life!
Moreover, a little less European territory and a low-key inappropriate Rome can also prevent France from becoming the world's second industrial power—because it is always difficult to have a lasting friendship between the world's second and the world's number one.

France should not be too strong... so as not to be attacked and oppressed by the Ming Empire!

Moreover, the basic population of France is more than 3000 million people. If you really want to eat too much, you can't digest it.

And after discussing with Nicholas I how to carve up Europe.He will go to Vienna, the capital of Austria, to attend the peace conference with his daughter and son-in-law.
