Make France Great Again Chapter 1017 Augusta and Peace Talks
Just when Franz Joseph and Princess Sissi set off for Milan, Jerome Bonaparte also welcomed a heavyweight guest.
On this day, Victor, the French ambassador to Sardinia, received a telegram from France. After reading the telegram, he urgently took a carriage to the Turin Palace.
Ambassador Victor who entered the Turin Palace did not find Emperor Jerome Bonaparte in the Turin Palace. After some careful inquiries, Ambassador Victor learned about Jerome Bonaparte from Victor Immanuel II.
Go fishing in the fish pond near the palace.
After Ambassador Victor bid farewell to Victor Immanuel II, he quickly went to the fish pond where Jérôme Bonaparte was.
Soon, Ambassador Victor found Jérôme Bonaparte near the fish pond.
At this moment, Jérôme Bonaparte was wearing casual clothes, sitting on the ground regardless of appearance, holding a slender fishing rod in his hand, and next to the fishing rod there was an iron bucket and a small iron box.
After seeing such an image of Jérôme Bonaparte, Ambassador Victor couldn't help but show an expression of surprise on his face.
If he hadn't been confirmed again and again, Ambassador Victor would really not have believed that the man sitting on the ground fishing was Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte.
Afterwards, Ambassador Victor slowly approached Jérôme Bonaparte and responded softly to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty!"
"What's wrong! What's the matter?" Jérôme Bonaparte raised his head and glanced at Ambassador Victor, then continued to stare at the river.
"Just now, I received a telegram from France!" Ambassador Victor squatted down and took out the telegram and said.
"What is the content of the telegram?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked blankly.
"Empress Augusta will arrive in Turin tomorrow afternoon!" Ambassador Victor responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"What!" The fishing rod in Jerome Bonaparte's hand trembled slightly. He turned his eyes to Ambassador Victor again and said, "Augusta, what is she here for? Did the telegram say anything?"
Ambassador Victor shook his head and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, the telegram has not yet stated the reason for Her Majesty's coming!"
"Hey!" Jérôme Bonaparte sighed, and then turned his eyes to the lake, "Okay! I understand! You can go back now!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Ambassador Victor stood up and left.
Before he could take more than two steps, Jérôme Bonaparte stopped Ambassador Victor and said, "Wait a minute!"
Ambassador Victor turned around again and respectfully asked Jérôme Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"
Jérôme Bonaparte pointed to the iron bucket beside him and said, "There are some fish in the bucket, take it back!"
Ambassador Victor glanced at the crucian carp in the iron bucket, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He didn't know what tool he should use to take the fish away.
Jérôme Bonaparte naturally saw what Ambassador Victor meant, and he added again, "You can take it with us! However, when you return to the palace, be sure to tell the steward in the palace and let him
Come here with an iron bucket!"
"Yes!" Ambassador Victor left Jérôme Bonaparte carrying an iron bucket weighing about 20 kilograms.
Another half hour passed, and the butler in the palace appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte with a brand new iron bucket, "Your Majesty, this is the iron bucket you need!"
Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the iron bucket, raised his head and smiled slightly, "Thank you!"
The butler immediately showed a flattered expression. He quickly waved his hand and responded, "Your Majesty, this is what I should do!"
Then the steward stood for a while beside Jérôme Bonaparte.
It wasn't until Jerome Bonaparte caught another crucian carp that the steward, while praising Jerome Bonaparte's fishing skills, asked when Jerome Bonaparte would return to the Turin Palace.
"About..." Jérôme Bonaparte took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was already 2 p.m., "About 4 o'clock!"
"Okay!" The butler nodded, then turned and left.
…
Two hours passed quickly, and the four o'clock sun in early summer shone on Jerome Bonaparte's body, making Jerome Bonaparte feel extremely hot.
He first glanced at the motionless float, then at the fish in the iron bucket, and said to himself, "That's it for today!"
After saying that, Jérôme Bonaparte put away the fishing rod and patted the dust on his butt.
Just when Jérôme Bonaparte was carrying the iron bucket and preparing to go back, he suddenly realized that he was not strong enough to lift the iron bucket.
So, Jérôme Bonaparte had no choice but to release half of the fish in the bucket home, and slowly and leisurely returned to the Turin Palace with the other half.
When Jerome Bonaparte walked halfway, the steward who helped Jerome Bonaparte deliver the iron bucket appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte. He hurriedly said to Jerome Bonaparte,
"Your Majesty, let me get it for you!"
"Yes!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and handed him the iron bucket and fishing rod.
The butler glanced at the fish in the iron bucket and said with a surprised expression on his face, "Your Majesty, are these what you caught in the past two hours?"
"Well!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded, and then added, "This is only half of it, and I have put back the other half!"
The expression of surprise on the butler's face was even worse, and the corners of Jérôme Bonaparte's mouth also showed a complacent expression.
Jérôme Bonaparte and the steward chatted about their fishing experiences while walking, and soon returned to the Turin Palace.
Upon entering the Turin Palace, Jérôme Bonaparte hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to hand over all the crucian carp in the iron bucket to the kitchen for sorting, while he himself returned to his room to rest for a while.
So, Jérôme Bonaparte parted ways with the housekeeper in the hall, and when he returned to the bedroom alone, he quickly put on a new set of clothes, then sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, as if waiting for something.

Jerome Bonaparte said nonchalantly to the "guest" outside the room, "Who?"
"Jérôme, it's me!" Victor Immanuel II's sonorous voice reached Jérôme Bonaparte's ears.
"Please come in!" Jérôme Bonaparte showed a clear expression on his face and said to the door again. It seemed that he already knew that Victor Immanuel II would come.
The door opened, and Victor Immanuel II appeared in Jérôme Bonaparte's room, and then slowly walked to Jérôme Bonaparte and sat down in front of him.
"How was your harvest today?" Victor Immanuel II asked Jérôme Bonaparte in a brisk tone.

"The harvest is not bad!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled slightly and replied to Victor Immanuel II.
"I just said that place is good, and I often go fishing there..." Victor Immanuel II said to Jérôme Bonaparte, pretending to be an experienced fisherman.
Jerome Bonaparte listened quietly to Victor Immanuel II's boast. He understood that Victor Immanuel II's purpose was not to discuss fishing at all, but to get from him when to start negotiations.
information.
After all, the Kingdom of Sardinia also wastes a lot of money every day on its confrontation with the Austrian Empire.
If this situation ends one day earlier, the economy of the Kingdom of Sardinia can also ease one day earlier.
After Victor Immanuel II talked about fishing for most of the day, he suddenly changed the subject and asked Jerome Bonaparte, "By the way, when will the peace talks between Jerome and the Austrian Empire begin?"
Such a blunt turn made the corners of Jérôme Bonaparte's mouth twitch slightly, and then he smiled again and said, "Victor, don't be too anxious about the peace talks!
When it is time for peace talks, peace talks will naturally take place!"
"We can't do it if we don't hurry!" Victor Manuel II responded to Jérôme Bonaparte with a grimace, "The finances of the Kingdom of Sardinia cannot support the high military expenditures. If this continues, our
The government must go bankrupt!!”
"It's simple!" Jérôme Bonaparte put his hands on his knees and said nonchalantly, "You just need to reduce the number of border troops!"
"Reduce the border troops?" Victor Immanuel II asked with a stiff expression, "Will this cause an invasion by the Austrian Empire?"
"No! The French army is your strong backing!" Jérôme Bonaparte assured Victor Immanuel II, "As long as the Austrian Empire dares to attack, our army will inevitably cross the Alps.
Mountain!"
"Then..." Victor Immanuel II was not satisfied with Jerome Bonaparte's solution, but because of Jerome Bonaparte's face, he did not object. "Then
Let me try!"
"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte clapped his hands and said to Victor Immanuel II, "One more thing, Emperor Franz Joseph of the Austrian Empire may arrive in Milan in the near future!
By then, we should be able to facilitate the smooth progress of the peace talks."
"Really?" Victor Immanuel II was overjoyed after hearing the news.
However, Jérôme Bonaparte’s next words instantly halved Victor Immanuel II’s joy, “However, Franz Joseph said that he will not talk directly with you!
In other words, I can only negotiate with Franz Joseph on your behalf!"
Victor Immanuel II understood that he was excluded from the scope of equal communication by Franz Joseph.
However, at this point, Victor Immanuel II did not have much choice.
