Chapter seven hundred and forty-five interests driven

Faced with Archduke Maximilian's condition that his father should appoint a cabinet in person or by appointing a specific person, Wilder felt a little moved in his heart.

Whether his father forms the cabinet himself (the possibility is almost 0, because Prince Czartoryski is already 84 years old), or his father appoints someone to form the cabinet, he will be able to accumulate experience in the new Kingdom of Poland.

His deep connections will also help him in his future career in politics.

You know, Wilder is only in his early thirties now.

For an ordinary person, being in his early thirties may mean that he will achieve nothing in his future life, but for a politician, being in his early thirties happens to be a golden age for political development.

Once the new cabinet appointed by his father is established (Wiled acquiesces that his father is unable to form a cabinet), then Wiled will be able to inherit his father's shadow and serve as Prime Minister of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw during his lifetime.

This is not much better than when he wasted most of his life in France!

Grand Duke Maximilian and Jérôme Bonaparte, who were sitting next to Vered, looked at each other and smiled after seeing the subtle changes in Vered's expression.

They knew that Wilder was about to be persuaded by Archduke Maximilian's conditions.

So, Jérôme Bonaparte decided to add fuel to Vielder's fire. He looked at Archduke Maximilian and said with a smile: "Maximilian!"

Archduke Maximilian, who was being interviewed by Jerome Bonaparte, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: "Your Majesty!"

"Who handles your daily chores in Habsburg!" Jérôme Bonaparte nakedly hinted at Archduke Maximilian.

Grand Duke Maximilian immediately understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant, and he hurriedly replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I do all my daily chores myself!"

"This is not okay!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Grand Duke Maximilian: "You are considered the future monarch after all. How can you not have someone around you to handle daily chores for you!"

"Your Majesty, you are right!" Archduke Maximilian quickly agreed, "I will look for a suitable candidate after returning to Vienna!"

"Why do we need to return to Vienna? I think Mr. Wilder is a good candidate!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Archduke Maximilian, and then added: "What do you think?"

After Archduke Maximilian pretended to look at Wilder, he smiled and invited Wilder: "Mr. Wilder, I wonder if you would deign to become my secretary!"

After hearing the invitation from Grand Duke Maximilian, Wilder said to Grand Duke Maximilian with trembling lips: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... No, Your Majesty, I am very willing to serve you!"

"Mr. Wilder, you will be my first secretary from now on!" Archduke Maximilian stretched out his hand and said to Wilder: "I hope that both of us can be honest with each other in future cooperation!"

If Wiled was just moved by his heart before, now Wiled has made up his mind to help Maximilian become the Grand Duke of Warsaw.

Because he and Maximilian had become a community of identical interests from just now.

Of course, he also knew very well that the reason why Grand Duke Maximilian was willing to let him serve as secretary was simply to use his father's influence to enable him to take over as the Grand Duke of Warsaw with the approval of all parties.

However, this is not exactly where his capital lies.

Both he and his father knew that the successful establishment of Poland did not depend on them, but on the French Emperor.

So they didn't have any choice from the beginning. The reason why his father sent him here was also hoping to sell it and get a good price (at least that's what Wilder thought).

"Your Majesty, I am honored to be your secretary!" Wilder said excitedly, holding Archduke Maximilian's hand.

"Mr. Wilder, what do you think of the condition just now?" Archduke Maximilian once again returned to the previous question.

"Your Majesty!" Wilder said respectfully to Maximilian, "My father actually just wants to ask you a question!"

"What's the problem?" Archduke Maximilian asked Wilder.

"What political system will you implement in the Grand Duchy of Warsaw after you become the Grand Duke of Warsaw?" Wilder asked Grand Duke Maximilian.

Maximilian told Wilder: Since Poland's political system is different from that of the French Empire, they cannot follow the French universal electoral system.

If he is lucky enough to serve as the Grand Duke of Warsaw, he will learn from the Orleans dynasty's system and implement "universal" elections in Poland.

That is, every Polish citizen living in the Kingdom can participate in the Kingdom of Poland as long as he meets the election conditions (the annual tax amount is less than 100 francs and the right to elect, the annual tax amount exceeds 200 francs, and the right to become an elector).

election.

After listening to Maximilian's words, Wilder couldn't help but have more expectations for Archduke Maximilian to serve as the monarch of Poland.

Because the system implemented by Archduke Maximilian could effectively protect the political monopoly of property owners in Poland, that is, those political elites.

Only with the support of the political elite could Archduke Maximilian truly take root in Poland.

"Wild, what do you think?" Archduke Maximilian asked Wiled.

"Your Majesty, your idea is very good!" Wilder replied to Archduke Maximilian. "Although your idea may not be liked by my father, it can effectively protect the interests of Polish property owners."

"Prince Czartoryski, why don't you like it?" Archduke Maximilian asked doubtfully.

"Your Majesty, in fact, my father has always wanted to build Poland into a republic!" Wilde explained to Archduke Maximilian: "No matter what happens, we must build a country with a universal suffrage system like the French Empire!"

"How should I convince Czartokosky?" Archduke Maximilian asked.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to convince my father!" Wilder shook his head and replied to Czartoryski: "Actually, my father had the lowest expectations when he asked me to come here!

As long as you can properly respect the interests of Poland, my father will support you as the Grand Duke of Warsaw!"

Afterwards, Archduke Maximilian and Wilder continued to negotiate for a long time. The two sides surprisingly developed that their political views coincided with each other in some aspects (both sides are liberals in a broad sense).

As a result, the two people discussed more vigorously, and Jérôme Bonaparte, who was originally the leader of the meeting, was also left aside.

It wasn't until Jérôme Bonaparte coughed twice and pointed at the time on the grandfather clock to tell them that it was almost time for dinner that Archduke Maximilian and Wilde stopped.

Immediately afterwards, at the invitation of Jerome Bonaparte, Archduke Maximilian and Wilder accompanied Jerome Bonaparte to dine together.

After entering the restaurant, they saw Augusta who was already sitting in the restaurant, and they all saluted and greeted Augusta.

Empress Augusta invited Maximilian and Vered to sit down with a smile on her face. Vered and Maximilian sat on the left and right sides of Jerome Bonaparte respectively.

After the dinner officially started, Jerome Bonaparte first proposed a toast to the friendship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Poland, and then he proposed a toast to the friendship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire!

After two glasses of wine, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately started chatting.

Jérôme Bonaparte told Wilder that the reason he chose Archduke Maximilian as the Archduke of Warsaw was not only to ease the relationship between Poland and Austria and jointly contain the Russian Empire, but also because Archduke Maximilian

He is also a leader who is capable and willing to reform.

He hoped that Archduke Maximilian and Wilder could cooperate sincerely to build a new Poland.

The French Empire will also help the new Poland within its capabilities.

If Poland is willing, they can also provide ample funds for Poland's construction.

Archduke Maximilian immediately expressed his gratitude to Jerome Bonaparte on behalf of the Kingdom of Poland.

After the dinner, Wilde chatted with Archduke Maximilian for a while, and then was sent back to Prince Czartoryski's residence by Jérôme Bonaparte.

When Wilder returned to his residence, he was immediately called to the bedroom by Czartoryski and asked, "Have you met Archduke Maximilian?"

Wilder nodded and said to Czartoryski: "I see you!"

"What kind of person do you think he is?" Czartoryski asked Wilder again.

"Grand Duke Maximilian is different from his rigid and ruthless brother, he is a person with a relatively tolerant personality!" Wilder replied to Czartoryski.

"Then did he tell you what political system he plans to implement in Poland?!" Czartoryski asked Wilder again.

Wilder immediately conveyed Maximilian's words to Czartokoski. Although Czartokoski felt a little regretful, he still said: "Not bad!"

"By the way, father! Archduke Maximilian is going to invite me to be his secretary!!" Wilder continued to Czartoryski: "And he will also give you the right to form the first cabinet!"
