Facing Jérôme Bonaparte's prickly words, Cavour did not choose to choke back. Because he knew that it was the Sardinian dynasty who asked for France, not France for Sardinia, and he wanted to tell Jerome Bonaparte in a low-profile way that the Kingdom of Sardinia was asking for Jerome Bonaparte. Bonaparte's respect.

"Respect? I didn't see any respect, I saw the Sardinian dynasty's contempt for France!" Jerome Bonaparte didn't appreciate it at all, he continued aggressively: "Did the Sardinian dynasty think Bonaparte The Ba family cannot be forgiven by the orthodox order!"

"No!" Cavour decisively rejected Jerome Bonaparte's almost unreasonable remarks: "The Kingdom of Sardinia respects the will of the French Republic and desperately hopes that France can participate in the maintenance of peace in Europe! I am very I agree with your words, Your Majesty, the Empire is the Republic! On behalf of the Kingdom of Sardinia, I hope that Your Majesty can rebuild a brand-new empire!"

"So, I'm blaming you all wrong!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a kind expression on his face. Those unreasonable behaviors before were just to give the Kingdom of Sardinia a disgrace.

"There is no question of who is right and who is wrong!" Cavour excused Jerome Bonaparte: "It's just a little misunderstanding! I believe that through this misunderstanding, it will definitely deepen the relationship between the French Empire and Sacramento. The friendship between the kingdoms of Ding."

"Oh! Friendship! What a precious word!" Jerome Bonaparte also sighed with emotion. He stretched out his hand to the black box placed on the square table, opened the box, and a russet cigar appeared. The appearance of the cigar should be superb, which made Cavour, who loves smoking cigars, swallow a mouthful of saliva, "France cherishes friendship the most!"

After speaking, Jerome Bonaparte took out a cigar and handed it to Cavour, who hurriedly took the cigar with both hands to show his respect.

Then, Jérôme Bonaparte took out two more flints to light Cavour cigars.

The first plume of smoke appeared in the beauty of the room, and an intoxicated expression appeared on Cavour's face: "The same is true of the Sardinian Dynasty!"

"Since France and Sardinia are both countries that cherish friendship, there will be a lot of topics for us to talk about!" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Cavour with a half-smile, "However, for a while I can't seem to remember how it's supposed to unfold! Mr. Cavour can tell me!"

Jerome Bonaparte took the initiative to give Cavour the right to speak, which made Cavour a little excited.

Despite this, Cavour said cautiously: "The Sardinian Dynasty respects the French Empire and is willing to obey the French Empire's dispatch!"

"No no no!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and shook his head: "France will not order any country, nor will it order any country! The Sardinian Kingdom and France are equal, and there is no upper and lower order. The distinction between levels! If there is a distinction between high and low, then it can only be said that France is the big brother of Sardinia! Both of our countries are striving for the independence of the nation!"

"Yes! That's right! Independence!" Cavour responded excitedly to Jerome Bonaparte: "Both Sardinia and France are fighting for national independence! The Kingdom of Ding is for the independence of the Italian nation! In this respect, France is Sardinia's well-deserved big brother!"

"As far as I know, the Apennine region is well managed under the Austrian Empire! The problem of the Italian nation is not acute?" Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be stunned.

"Your Majesty! We respect and admire the emperor's great achievements in the Apennine region. Under the emperor's leadership, the Apennine Peninsula has formed an unprecedented Italian kingdom..." Cavour continued to brag about the achievements of the original emperor Napoleon, which unexpectedly inspired Jerome. . Bonaparte's ambition.

Jérôme Bonaparte did not always claim to be Napoleon's successor, so what Emperor Napoleon did, he should have done as well.

Jerome Bonaparte listened quietly to Cavour's touts, and after Cavour finished speaking, Jerome Bonaparte sighed and continued: "The situation on the Apennine Peninsula is now different from before. Much more severe than we imagined! Even if I want to help you, how should I convince the Legislative Council? How can I fight the alliance of the Russian Empire, the Austrian Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia! The French Empire can no longer experience A war all over Europe! I am very sympathetic to the Sardinian dynasty and the Italian nation of the Apennine Peninsula, but ideals cannot be eaten! We must keep our feet on the ground!"

Jerome Bonaparte's attitude was very simple. It was absolutely impossible for France to set foot in anything in the Apennine Peninsula in a short period of time. Otherwise, Britain would just form an alliance with its front feet, and its back feet would be broken because France could not restrain Sardinia.

"Mr. Cavour, I can tell you without hesitation! France's primary goal is the Russian Empire. Before France defeats the Russian Empire, we hope that Apennine will not take any drastic actions!" Jerome Bonaparte said vaguely to The Sardinian Dynasty revealed the illusion that it had begun to clean up the Apennine Peninsula after the Russian Empire had been defeated.

This vague diplomatic rhetoric is a required course for every qualified diplomatic Ren Tao.

The Count of Cavour at this time was not the seasoned statesman of 1860. Cavour, who had not been in politics for a long time, obviously ignored the crisis of vague diplomatic rhetoric.

Under the vague diplomatic rhetoric of Jerome Bonaparte, Cavour was naturally transferred into the trap carefully designed by Jerome Bonaparte.

"The Sardinian Dynasty understands the situation in France, and we sincerely hope that France can win! If the French Empire needs it, the Sardinian Dynasty can send troops to fight with France!" Cavour handed over the Sardinian Dynasty's Submitting a certificate and participating in the war against Russia means that Sardinia is likely to be targeted by the Austrian Empire.

"France is very willing to fight with the Sardinian Dynasty!" Adhering to the mentality that the cannon fodder is useless, Jerome Bonaparte smiled without hesitation, "Not only France, but Britain will also join the battle against the Russian Empire. This is an opportunity for the Sardinian dynasty to gain European recognition, and I hope the Sardinian kingdom can prepare in advance!”

"Understood!" Cavour was full of gratitude to Jerome Bonaparte.

Subsequently, Jérôme Bonaparte and Cavour conducted further consultations on how to strengthen bilateral relations between France and the Sardinian dynasty.

"In order to speed up the exchanges between our two countries, I hope that the Kingdom of Sardinia and France can keep the same railway specifications!" Jerome Bonaparte once again made a suggestion to Cavour.

"This..." Cavour was hesitant. Keeping the line with the French railway means that the original may be abandoned, and building a new railway is a huge expense.

"If Sardinia has no money, France is willing to help the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Since he has chosen to turn Sardinia into a vassal state, then Jerome Bonaparte will naturally not be stingy with the injection of capital, as long as Sardinia has no money for a day Unification, then they will not be able to escape the hands of France one day: "If Sardinia is not willing, then France is not willing to be difficult!"

In the end, Cavour agreed to introduce wolves into the house, and the capital of France was injected into fields other than Haussmann for the first time.

In addition to the railway capital injection, Cavour was also forced to sign agreements on agricultural products and rifles and artillery.

The Sardinian dynasty was gradually being eroded by French capital.

Decades later, Cavour, who was lying in the hospital bed, once again recalled the past with unstoppable regret.

The secret exchange between Jerome Bonaparte and Cavour continued from the morning to the afternoon.

The two who walked out of the house shook hands warmly and left one after another.

On November 28, Jerome Bonaparte, feeling that the time was right, decided not to hesitate.

Before the Legislative Council was convened again, he revealed his intention to become emperor to Pius, who was then Chairman of the Legislative Council.

After the start of the Legislative Council, President Bioux proposed that Jerome Bonaparte should be crowned Emperor Theo. Except for a small number of opponents, the Legislative Council passed Jerome Bonaparte as Emperor with the overwhelming majority of excellence. , a request to change the republic to an empire.

After the overwhelming consent of the Legislative Council, the "Second House" also abstained with one vote, and it ended when it was passed by all members.

The successive agreement of the Legislative Council and the Senate means that Jérôme Bonaparte has the opportunity to be proclaimed emperor at the legal level. Next, only a referendum is required. As long as the vast majority of French people do not object, then the Second Empire will be It can be established a year earlier than in history~www.novelhall.com~ On the 29th of June, a telegram from Paris Mun appeared in front of the highest officials of the major regions and provinces. The telegram said: France should abide by fairness and justice. , an open choice, a request to the entire French people to use their votes to decide whether to build an empire or one that remains a republic.

On November 30, the provinces began voting on the establishment of the Empire.

After nearly seven days of voting, the French provinces finally completed the voting on December 6, and the number of votes won by the provinces was transmitted to Paris at that time by telegram.

On December 8, after more than three hours of statistics, the Senate announced the results of the ballots to the people of Paris.

There were 8,724,000 votes for the establishment of an empire, 253,000 votes against it, and nearly a million abstentions, mostly from the South and West.

More than 8 million votes in favor gave Jérôme Bonaparte the legal reason to build an empire.

The Bonapartists began a new round of debate over when the empire was established.
