Make France Great Again Chapter 1011: Little Thoughts at the Banquet
Accompanied by Victor Immanuel II, Jérôme Bonaparte briefly got to know the senior officials of the Kingdom of Sardinia who attended the banquet, and the dinner officially began in the solemn Kingdom of Sardinia.
Jerome Bonaparte and Victor Immanuel II, who were the protagonists of the banquet, walked in the first row of the procession. Behind the two monarchs were the children of Victor Immanuel II's family.
, they are arranged in order from left to right according to their size. Each prince/princess puffs out his chest and reveals an arrogance between his brows that would repel people thousands of miles away. This is given to them by the bloodline that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years.
gift.
Behind this group of arrogant princes/princesses, Niel, the Chief of General Staff of the French Empire, stood side by side with the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom Marshal Ramamore. His eyes were fixed on the front, and his steps followed the front.
Accelerate and decelerate together.
As for the other guests who were originally in the Kingdom of Sardinia, some of them followed Niel and Ramamore's footsteps, while others were led to other restaurants by the steward of the Turin Palace.
After all, there were so many guests arriving at the Turin Palace today that one table could not accommodate all the guests. The steward of the Turin Palace had to carefully classify the guests who came to the Turin Palace according to their status. Only those with titles and official positions
Only those members who met the criteria were allowed to sit at the same table as Jérôme Bonaparte and Victor Immanuel II.
In this way, Jérôme Bonaparte and Victor Immanuel II moved forward and finally arrived at the corridor leading to the restaurant door.
After the servants standing on both sides of the restaurant saw the two monarchs from a distance, each of them pulled a door handle and pulled the door of the restaurant open, revealing the magnificent decoration in the restaurant and a dining table across the door.
When Jerome Bonaparte entered the restaurant, he discovered that this white dining table could accommodate more than 60 people to dine together. The length of this dining table can be said to be the longest that Jerome Bonaparte had ever seen, second only to the Austrian Empire.
It is a dining table for a state banquet, and the area of the entire restaurant is roughly estimated to be about 12-13 times that of the Palais Tuilleries restaurant.
"How is this restaurant?" Victor Manuel II asked Jérôme Bonaparte with a hint of pride.
"It's really big!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Victor Immanuel II with a nod.
Later, at the invitation of Victor Immanuel II, Jérôme Bonaparte sat with him at the main seat of the long dining table. The rest of the people followed the name tags placed on the dining table.
Sit down one by one.
After everyone was seated, the servants in charge of serving, holding red wine in hand, entered the restaurant in two lines, and then dispersed one by one, now behind each guest.
The servant standing behind Jerome Bonaparte and Victor Immanuel II first opened the bottle of wine with a corkscrew, and then poured the scarlet wine into Jerome Bonaparte and Victor II.
In Manuel's cup,
The remaining servants also poured wine into the glasses of the guests they served. When everyone filled the glasses with red wine, Prime Minister Ramamore first said to everyone present, "Everyone, let us, the French Empire, join forces with Satan."
Cheers to Diniya and Wang Ting’s friendship!”
"Cheers!" including Victor Immanuel II and Jérôme Bonaparte, all raised their glasses in toast.
After finishing a glass of wine, the servant poured wine for Jérôme Bonaparte and others again.
At the same time, another group of servants appeared from outside the restaurant and entered the restaurant. Each of them was dragging an aluminum dinner plate in their hands, and there was an aluminum dinner cover covering the top of the dinner plate.
No one except Victor Immanuel II knew what was on the plate, so each of them had no idea what was on the plate.
To be honest, I have been using the Anyan app recently to read and catch up on new books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Anyan app is available for Android and Apple.】
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the servants placed a dinner plate on each seat, and then opened the plates in unison.
The alluring aroma penetrated the noses of every guest, and Jérôme Bonaparte discovered that what was on the dinner plate was a steak drizzled with black sauce.
"Everyone, please have a meal!" Victor Immanuel II gracefully picked up the knife and fork and said to everyone present.
Everyone at the party picked up their knives and forks and started cutting the steaks.
After a while, everyone present showed expressions of enjoyment, and Victor Immanuel II once again signaled the servants beside him with his eyes.
The servant quickly glanced at the servants who were serving the dishes, and the servants who were serving the dishes left in an orderly manner.
Victor Immanuel II turned to Jerome Bonaparte and asked, "Jerome, what do you think of this dish?"
Jérôme Bonaparte, who had just enjoyed his first delicious bite, took down the chewed steak, picked up the folded white silk cloth and gently wiped it around his mouth, and then said to Victor Yin Manuel
II praised, "Victor, it's very good! I haven't had such delicious food in a long time!"
"As long as you like it!" Victor Yin Manuel II showed a satisfied smile.
After a while, the second course was served, and Victor Immanuel II also opened the topic.
Victor Immanuel II first welcomed Jérôme Bonaparte to the Turin Palace, and then reiterated to everyone present that the friendship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia was unbreakable and that no one could
The friendship between the two countries cannot be shaken.
As soon as Victor Manuel II finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.
Jérôme Bonaparte also spoke freely to everyone present about the "friendship" between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia.
He told everyone present that although the friendship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia would have certain twists and turns under certain circumstances, the overall tone between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia would not change because of the twists and turns.
The Kingdom of Sardinia remains the most friendly partner of the French Empire.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone present also gave warm applause to Jérôme Bonaparte's words.
Victor Manuel II's eyes also showed a touch of relief. As long as Jérôme Bonaparte can unswervingly support the Savoy royal family, then the possibility of the Savoy royal family being overthrown is very low.
.
However, Victor Manuel II also knew that support was not priceless, and Savoy and Nice were Victor Manuel II's bargaining chips.
After the two monarchs finished speaking, the ministers sitting at the banquet also spoke. Some of them shouted for the friendship between France and the Kingdom of Sardinia, and some denounced the Austrian Empire's barbaric invasion of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
While chatting, the important ministers of the Kingdom of Sardinia at the banquet began to attack the barbarism of the Austrian Empire with a unified caliber.
"The Austrian Empire is really bad. A huge country invaded the Kingdom of Sardinia without any excuse!
If His Majesty Jérôme had not spoken uprightly, the soldiers of the Austrian Empire would not know what kind of ambassador they would be!" When an important Sardinian minister said this, he subconsciously glanced at Jérôme who was sitting on the throne.
Bonaparte, after seeing that Jérôme Bonaparte showed no expression of disgust, continued.
"Who says otherwise!" Another important minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia also continued to criticize the Austrian Empire.
…
The voices criticizing the Austrian Empire became louder and louder as time went by, but Jérôme Bonaparte only responded with a smile throughout the process and did not reveal any of his emotions.
In his opinion, the reason why Victor Immanuel II staged such a play was entirely because he hoped to use this method to guide the French Empire to stand up and confront the Austrian Empire head-on.
Seeing that Jérôme Bonaparte did not react at all, after a while, Victor Immanuel II stood up and pretended to everyone present, "Please be quiet, we are here for a banquet, not a criticism meeting!"
Everyone present came to an abrupt halt after hearing Victor Immanuel II's reply.
Jerome Bonaparte took another sip of wine and responded to everyone present, "Everyone, I understand your mood! After all, any patriot will not be able to help but stand up when facing the complete annexation of his country.
.
But what I want to say is that blind patriotism is not a good thing, especially when the gap between the Kingdom of Sardinia and the French Empire is so big.
I think the best way is to start multilateral negotiations and use negotiation to resolve existing differences!
Of course, the French Empire is not unable to help you defeat the Austrian Empire, but this will not do any good to the Kingdom of Sardinia.
The Kingdom of Sardinia has acquired the eternally hated Austrian Empire, and the relationship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire will fall into an irreversible state, which will lead to the destruction of the coordination of the great powers!
If the coordination of major powers is destroyed, it will be of little benefit to Europe as a whole.
However, I can assure you that if the Austrian Empire's demands are really unacceptable, then the French Empire will definitely be on the side of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
The French Empire and the Kingdom of Sardinia have been a pair of brotherly countries that support and help each other since 1815.
Speaking of this, Jerome Bonaparte raised his voice and said righteously to everyone present, "We will not sit back and watch the Kingdom of Sardinia being bullied!"
The restaurant burst into applause again, and Victor Immanuel II showed a look of disappointment on his face.
Jérôme Bonaparte spoke at length, still repeating what he had said before.
As long as the Austrian Empire does not actually invade the Kingdom of Sardinia, the French Empire will still join forces without hesitation.
The price Sardinia must pay for this peace negotiation is none other than Savoy and Nice.
