C2482 Edward's Tasks

Just as Montaubon and Empress Ou Renni were discussing secretly, Attendant suddenly walked over and said to the Queen in a low voice, "external phase, I wish to meet you for a moment!"

could guess why the Foreign Secretary had come to find her. The Duke of Grammon's job was really too hard to do! A lot of policies were based on changing the rules. Previously, he had already expressed that he would give up on the territory requirements of Hesse, but now that he had to do it on a temporary basis, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Elder was unable to work at all.

Negotiations between countries were naturally a matter of open rivalry and covert strife. Under the guise of words and words, there would surely be all sorts of scheming and scheming! Bargain was a very normal thing, but if it reached the level of French Emperor, it would be a joke.

Abandoning Darmstadt and remaining territorial claims on the territory of the Hesse were sent to Prussia in black and white.

The King of Prussia and the Prime Minister had seen it with their own eyes. Furthermore, he was going back on his words for no reason at all. This kind of going back on his words was destined to become a joke in the history of diplomatic negotiations!

He was really unable to communicate with the Emperor, but he saw the worried expression in Empress Ou Renni's eyes during the royal ball. He felt that it was time to discuss this issue with her.

There was a saying among all Chinese people that a child could be called an old one. When a person grew old, they would sometimes become abnormal. Napoleon III, 62 years old, had a completely different personality compared to when he was young.

None of the ministers in the court knew his temperament, no one knew when he would be angry, and no one knew when he would be happy.

At that moment, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could only place her hopes on the Empress, he hoped that the sleeper would be able to help at the most crucial moment!

Seeing that Duke Grai Meng had walked over, Empress Ou Renni nodded at Montale! This Duke of oculi bridge, knowing that there were some things he could not say, bowed and left!

Duke Grimaud and Montaubon smiled wryly at each other, and both saw the deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

As for the Duke of Clementine, his face grew a foot long the moment he saw the Queen.

"My esteemed empress, I really can't do anything about it. If Your Majesty were to change the order like this, I'd have to resign and protest!"

"Who would bargain like that? Who would go back on their word like that? How do we diplomats do our work? "

The Duke of Grai Meng started to complain the moment they met. After talking for a good fifteen minutes, Queen Ou Renni forced a smile and listened attentively. In the end, she even poured a cup of coffee for external phase.

"Alright, old friend, I know your difficulties. I'll be the one in charge of this matter, so you can let it go for now. After all, it was the party just now. Who knows if he'll change his mind tomorrow? I'll talk to him …"

When Duke Grimaud left the Versailles, he sat on the carriage and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Luckily, the empress and the empire finally understood it a little. Otherwise, it would really be dangerous."

Today was just a very ordinary occasion. The important officials of the France did not pay too much attention to it, but none of them expected that on the night of that very day, everything that happened during the banquet would be delivered to Gladstone.

The efficiency of the British intelligence network was much better than that of the French!

Gladstone, the newly appointed British Prime Minister, saw everything that was happening in Versailles today and could not help but sneer to himself inwardly, "Napoleon is really old. This kind of change in attitude, this kind of ups and downs, it's already hard for him to control that big empire anymore!"

"Someone come!" Prepare the carriage, I want to go see the prince … "

In a very hidden small manor in the outskirts of City of London, perhaps the farmers in the surrounding villages would never be able to guess. This vacation home of an ordinary London textile merchant, today there were actually so many high ranking officials secretly gathered here.

This was actually the Crown Prince Edward, a secret meeting place for the important officials of the empire. Gladstone, Prince Edward, the Duke of Newcastle, including field marshal Walls, the Foreign Secretary, and other elites of the empire were gathered together.

"Alright, everyone, have you seen the latest information? Napoleon III obviously believes in the smoke bomb that we released. This stupid fellow actually added a bargaining chip, does he really think that Prussia will act according to his wishes? "

At this moment, he was very proud of himself, because this was the first time his mother had allowed him to lead such a confidential mission.

Speaking of which, he should be thanking Xiao Letian. It was the Chinese leader's careful guidance and that precious national gift that allowed this estranged mother and son to return their feelings to the past.

The Queen had been annoyed at her son's incompetence. He had placed the blame for her husband's death on her son, whom she had not even bothered to see in those years, so the Queen had given him a lot of diplomatic work to do, letting him walk around the world as the country's representative.

As long as you don't stay in England and let me see you without feeling annoyed.

It's good now! As the estrangement between mother and son had already been resolved, this was the first time the Queen allowed Edward to command such a secretive operation.

Edward's mission was to form a strategic deceitful group towards France. Just as Napoleon had analyzed, Britain had always been pursuing a balanced policy towards the continental Europe.

They would never allow a super powerful country to appear in the continental Europe, a country that could threaten the status of the United Kingdom! It seemed that the closest the country could come to Britain was the group of Frenchmen on the other side of the strait.

Although Britain appeared to be neutral on the surface and had always hoped for peace, in private, they had always encouraged and secretly supported Prussia. They hoped that their country of marriage would teach the France a lesson, and that it would be best for them to kill both sides.

Fa Huangnapolunsanshi never thought that the so called information about City of London's failure to issue bonds was completely fake. This was the credit of the intelligence deceiving team.

From the beginning to the end, the news had been that the British had released the smoke bomb. The French did not know that the City of London had secretly promised to release 5 million pounds of War bond to Prussia.

Of course, no one would ever admit it, and now the big contractors had subscribed for their own share, and would transfer the pound to Prussia as soon as the war broke out.

It was all to paralyze the French, because Britain knew very well that the French people were rich, and if the country really felt threatened, then the people would put aside their conflicts and choose to cooperate temporarily. At that point, in the context of the explosion of nationalism, France would mobilize its terrifying power.

Once France was in a state of extreme readiness, the consequences would be unthinkable with its financial resources. Prussia had no hope of winning against France, which was fully prepared for war!

"Alright, my dear gentlemen, our first step of the plan has been successfully completed. Napoleon has already been tricked, let's figure out the next step of the plan now, how much chance does Prussia have of winning?"
