I'm the Dauphin in France

Chapter 395 French Set Meal (asking for monthly ticket)

"I hope the riots didn't affect France."

Theodor and Talleyrand walked side by side towards the reception room, and the Bavarian Secretary of State, Foreign Minister and others could only follow behind as a foil.

"That was more than a simple riot, Your Majesty." Talleyrand spoke loudly to ensure that the Bavarian ministers around him could hear him. "You must know the ideas of those liberals. They have always wanted to overthrow the royal power and seize the wealth of the nobles. They are a group of dangerous lunatics!

"And what happened in the northwestern provinces of France was instigated by those lunatics."

"They should all be cursed." Theodore agreed casually, but he was wondering why the French came all the way to tell him about this shit, which had nothing to do with him. "Oh, I heard that the rebels in the Southern Netherlands seemed to be involved?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The French Foreign Minister nodded immediately. "The liberals I just mentioned are those people from the Southern Netherlands. They are trying to murder our king with a riot!"

Theodore thought to himself that you are at war with the rebels of the Southern Netherlands, so it is not surprising that they go to France to cause trouble, but he still pretended:

"Fortunately, those guys didn't succeed. God bless your majesty."

When they entered the reception hall, Talleyrand suddenly asked in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, don't you find this strange?"

"What's weird?"

"Why are the Southern Netherlands rebels so bold as to launch a conspiracy against the French royal family?" Talleyrand looked at Theodore. "And they were able to come up with thousands of guns and millions of livres in a short period of time. Isn't this strange?"

Theodore was startled, and slowly sat down on the chair at the top:
"You mean?"

"They were all instructed by a certain great power to do all this!" Talleyrand waved his hands in indignation, "They killed their own king, and then secretly supported the Southern Netherlands in launching a rebellion, trying to take this land away from the Holy Roman Emperor.

"After the Southern Netherlands was taken over by the rebels, they were still not satisfied and were ready to spread the revolution there to France!"

Theodore and all the ministers present felt nervous upon hearing this.

It was none of their business that the Southern Dutch intended to murder the King of France, but it was another matter if the former wanted to export the revolution.

The liberal revolution is a nightmare that lingers in the mind of every monarch. It is a plague that will cause the empire to die if it is even slightly infected!
They immediately thought that the "big country" was the first country to be infected by the "plague".

The Glorious Revolution beheaded Charles I and exiled James II.

Moreover, judging from the current situation where the Hanoverians are supporting the Southern Netherlands rebels on the battlefield in the Southern Netherlands, the British are definitely behind the Southern Netherlands liberals.

Talleyrand continued: "The English Parliament controls their king and all of England. They want other countries to be like them, and if the king gets in the way, they will murder the king there.

"They will stir up revolution everywhere, and what happened in France is the beginning!
"If the monarchs do not unite to stop it, similar things will happen in Austria, Spain, Sweden, and Bavaria in the future..."

In the set menu that Joseph prepared for Britain, the situation in India was the main course, and accusing them of exporting revolution was the appetizer.

He clearly remembered that in history, the European monarchs' fear of France exporting revolution eventually led to the formation of the anti-French alliance.

Britain took advantage of this and gathered the European countries to exhaust France. At the moment, the British did not seem to realize that their move to instigate the Southern Netherlands to play in France was actually exporting revolution - the Southern Netherlands Parliament was controlled by the liberals, and there were also a large number of liberals making trouble in France, and the French liberals were cooperating with them.

Now that the British have handed the cards to him, Joseph naturally doesn't mind letting them taste the wrath of European monarchs.

The Bavarian Foreign Minister looked at Talleyrand hesitantly:
"Archbishop Talleyrand, perhaps you are exaggerating a little..."

Talleyrand immediately gestured outside the hall:
"I have brought someone with me, you can ask him yourself."

Theodore signaled to the guards in confusion to bring in the prisoners escorted by the French soldiers.

Talleyrand asked the man, "Who are you?"

"Steven Albert Vesalius."

Immediately, a Bavarian official remembered the name:
"It's the Speaker of the Southern Netherlands... Ahem, I mean the secretary of the rebel leader!"

Yes, this person was Van der Nott’s secretary, the highest-ranking person in the “Committee of Free Allies” captured by the French Intelligence Agency.

Talleyrand continued to ask:
"Please tell us why Van der Nott intends to overthrow the French royal family?"

Vesalius lowered his head dejectedly and said:

"It was the instruction of British Foreign Secretary Wellesley. He told the Speaker, 'We must launch a revolution to overthrow the tyrant.' He also proposed a plan to spread rumors about France's land redemption plan, using the dissatisfaction of French peasants and nobles to create riots, and eventually drive Louis XVI out of power and establish the French Parliament..."

There was an uproar in the reception hall.

Although what Vesalius said was not entirely true—he would have received a sum of money and lived out the rest of his life in America if he had followed the French’s request—he had only messed up the order or put the wrong things in the wrong places, but not a single word was fabricated. Even if the Bavarians were to check, they would most likely have concluded that what they said was true.

Talleyrand gestured toward the outside of the Munich Palace:
"I have also brought more than 20 Dutch rebels. Your Majesty can send people to interrogate them if necessary."

With Vesalius's words as a preconceived notion, no matter what others say later, everyone will think of the British.

A few hours later, Grand Duke Theodore of Bavaria looked at Talleyrand with a firm gaze and said seriously:

"We must unite and do our best to persuade the British to give up this terrible idea!"

The next day, Talleyrand left Munich and headed for Württemberg.

His itinerary also includes Mainz, Upper Hesse, Austria, Sweden and other countries. He will repeat to them what he said to the Bavarians yesterday.

After that, he will go to Saxony, Lower Hesse, and even Prussia. Although these countries are currently following the British, they will turn against the British at any time if it comes to "major issues" such as exporting revolution.

He didn't care whether these countries believed it or not. Even if they didn't believe it, the British would waste a lot of diplomatic resources if they wanted to explain it clearly.
