Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh Swedish ambition

After the Polish issue was properly resolved, there was no need for Maximilian and Count Bauer to stay in France.

So, on the fourth day after the baptism ceremony, Archduke Maximilian and Count Bauer bid farewell to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Are you leaving so soon?"

Although Jerome Bonaparte had already known that Maximilian and Count Bauer would leave in the near future, when Maximilian actually bid farewell to him, Jerome Bonaparte still felt slightly in his heart.

A little disappointed.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much for the help you have given me during this time!" Archduke Maximilian said to Jerome Bonaparte sincerely.

No one knew better than Maximilian that without the help of Jerome Bonaparte, it would be really difficult for Maximilian and the Austrian Empire behind him to gain the support of Prince Czartoryski.

It was precisely because of the pressure from Jerome Bonaparte that Prince Czartoryski gave up his dream of a republic and instead supported Archduke Maximilian as King of Poland.

It was through this communication that Maximilian discovered that the French Empire had a greater influence on Poland than he had imagined.

"It's just a little effort!" Jérôme Bonaparte waved his hand and said to Archduke Maximilian in an understatement.

"I sincerely hope that you and Queen Augusta can come when I succeed the Grand Duke of Warsaw!" Archduke Maximilian once again extended an invitation to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Don't worry! I will definitely go with Queen Augusta!!!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then added: "By the way, please help me tell Mr. Bauer that the currency

Regarding the alliance, I hope he can give me an answer as soon as possible!"

"I will tell Count Bauer on your behalf!!" Maximilian replied.

Later, under Mokar's arrangement, Maximilian and Count Bauer got on the carriage to the Paris train station.

They will take a train from Paris to Strasbourg, and then pass through Strasbourg to Germany.

The day after Archduke Maximilian and Count Bauer left, Queen Caterina also bid farewell to Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta.

"Sister, don't you want to play for two more days before leaving?"

"Yes! Cousin, why don't you play for two days before leaving?"

Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta graciously tried to retain Queen Caterina.

Queen Caterina shook her head and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta that the reason why she had stayed in Paris for so long was solely to attend the baptism of Crown Prince Frederick.

Now that the baptism is over, it's time for her to return to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Seeing that Queen Caterina insisted on leaving, Jérôme Bonaparte and Queen Augusta had no choice but to force her to stay.

"Cousin, be careful all the way! I hope you can come here with your brother-in-law next time! Augusta and I will definitely greet you on the couch!" Jérôme Bonaparte said politely to Queen Caterina.

"Got it!" Queen Caterina replied lightly, and then said to Jérôme Bonaparte: "By the way, you asked me to ask about the currency union, and William has already replied to me!"

"Huh?" Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly became more energetic, and he quickly asked kindly: "What did your brother-in-law say?"

Queen Caterina rolled her eyes at Jérôme Bonaparte angrily and responded: "William said that the Kingdom of the Netherlands is not opposed to joining France to form a monetary union in principle!

However, the premise is that the currency alliance you form must first have a certain number of countries join this alliance!"

"Ah!" Jerome Bonaparte opened his mouth slightly. He originally wanted to win over Belgium, the Netherlands, Sardinia, and the Papal States to strengthen his momentum, and then attract more countries to join him.

Now the Kingdom of the Netherlands actually wants to wait until the currency union takes shape before joining it. Isn't this just trying to pick up what's already available?

If every country thought like the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Jérôme Bonaparte's monetary union plan would probably be dead in the womb!

"Cousin, I'm sorry!" Queen Caterina said to Jerome Bonaparte, "The Kingdom of the Netherlands is different from the French Empire, and William's rights are different from yours, so the currency union is of great importance and must be passed.

It can only be passed with the consent of the parliament!”

"Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged to Queen Caterina and responded helplessly: "I can only do my best!"



After Queen Caterina left Paris, Jérôme Bonaparte locked himself in his study, thinking about the possibility of joining the Monetary Union countries.

Sweden? This should be ok, Spain...

Until there was a knock on the door, Jerome Bonaparte stopped thinking and turned to the door and said: "Please come in!"

Mokar's figure appeared at the door, "Your Majesty, Duke Snassa from the Kingdom of Sweden wants to visit you!"

"Duke Snassa!" After Jerome Bonaparte pondered for a moment, he suddenly remembered that this so-called Duke Snaza was not the future King Karl XV of Sweden.

The reason why he chose to come here at this time was probably because of Finland's problems.

"Invite him in!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Mokar.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Mokar nodded, then turned and left.

After a while, Duke Snaza appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte. Judging from Snaza's appearance, he did have some similarities with Marshal Berthier.

Could it be said that skipping inheritance is now popular?

Looking at the Duke in front of him, whose appearance was somewhat similar to the Imperial Marshal, Jérôme Bonaparte silently complained in his heart.

"Your Majesty!" Duke Snasart, who was introduced by Mokar, was also stunned for a few seconds after seeing Jérôme Bonaparte for the first time, and then quickly returned and bowed.

"Duke Snassar, come and sit down!" Jerome Bonaparte waved to Duke Snassar.

Duke Snasart trotted quickly to Jerome Bonaparte's side, and then sat opposite him.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme Bonaparte deliberately pretended to be ignorant and asked Duke Snasart what he wanted from him!

The Duke of Snasart told Jérôme Bonaparte that he had come to visit His Majesty Jérôme Bonaparte on his father's orders.

"Duke Snassa, express my gratitude to your father, King Oscar, for me!"

Since Duke Snasart was unwilling to tell his true purpose, Jérôme Bonaparte had no choice but to turn into a topic terminator and respond to Duke Snasart.

The Duke of Snasart once again expressed his gratitude to Jerome Bonaparte, and then tactfully told Jerome Bonaparte that in addition to being ordered to visit Jerome Bonaparte, he also wanted to come from Jerome Bonaparte.

Bonaparte asked what he planned to do with Finland!

"What to do with Finland?" Jérôme Bonaparte responded in a calm tone, "What to do with Finland should be discussed in two months' time, not now!"

"But I heard Prime Minister Palmerston of Britain say..." Duke Snasart said impatiently to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Duke Snasart!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Duke Snasart in a cold tone, "Since you have received the exact information from Palmerston, you should really follow closely.

With Britain behind you, why bother coming to Paris in person!"

The Duke of Snasart heard Jerome Bonaparte's displeasure, and he quickly apologized to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Duke Snassa, you don't need to apologize!" Jérôme Bonaparte continued to assume a posture of keeping away from strangers, "I understand and respect the choice of the Kingdom of Sweden. Marshal Berthier at the time relied on

Only by betraying France’s interests can we gain Russia’s understanding!”

Facing Jerome Bonaparte's ridicule, even though Duke Snasart felt extremely humiliated in his heart, he still had to smile and tell Jerome Bonaparte that something did happen that year that caused his grandfather Bell

Thière was at war with his colleagues in France, but he could assure Jérôme Bonaparte that his grandfather had never said a bad word about the emperor.

At the beginning of Duke Snassa's account, Berthier told him the story of how the emperor led them to conquer most of Europe.

"My grandfather has always respected His Majesty the Emperor!" Duke Snasart said to Jérôme Bonaparte. "The reason why he chose to be the enemy of His Majesty the Emperor during that period was also a helpless choice!

Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Sweden does not want to be hostile to any country!"

"Since Sweden does not want to develop a hostile relationship with any country, then I think it is in the interests of the Kingdom of Sweden that Finland should become an independent principality!" Jerome Bonaparte seized on the loopholes in Duke Snatha's needs and said

Duke Ssana responded.

"Your Majesty, the people of our country are all looking forward to Finland's return to its embrace!" Duke Snasa replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"What? Aren't you afraid of the hostility of the Russian Empire?" Jérôme Bonaparte raised his eyebrows and asked Duke Snassa.

"Afraid!" Duke Snasa said briefly, and then added: "However, we are even more afraid that Finland will not be able to return smoothly!

No responsible Swede will or is willing to see Finland fall outside!"

Jérôme Bonaparte asked Duke Snasart again: "Then how are you going to resist the malicious intentions of the Russian Empire?"

The Duke of Snasart told Jérôme Bonaparte that his father hoped to get help from the French Empire and the British Kingdom, so that he could resist the Russian Empire.

If the French Empire is willing to act as a strong backing for the Kingdom of Sweden, they are willing to grant the French Empire the most-favored-nation treatment for its iron ore.
