Chapter 517： John Bull doing things (2/2)

The Paris government agreed to Monaco's independence, the main purpose of which was to legally annex Menton and Rockbrunn, by the way, to clean up radical independents. ”

Sure enough, there is a story behind it. In such a projectile place as Monaco, Franz could not pay attention, and the small states in the German region have made him big.

On the surface, it seems that the French made money, annexed more than 90% of Monaco's territory, and was still an economically developed region, and then sent the independents out.

In fact, this is not a problem at hand, and it will be judged by the subsequent impact. It seemed that the British were digging a pit for the French, and Franz began to be vigilant. If he was accidentally pitted by John Bull, it would be tragedy.

”Well, since this is the case, as an ally we artificially for France, their international image is too bad and needs to be repaired.

Don't do it too deliberately, the French will also know the consequences of Morocco's independence. If they do too much, they can easily alert them. ”

This pit is not big enough to bury the French Empire. Even if it stimulates the Italian independence movement, it will be difficult to play a role in the short term.

Some people oppose the merger with France, and some support the merger with the French. Napoleon III was not in vain, and there were still a number of supporters in Italy.

Although the number of opponents is larger, these people are okay with their mouths. If they are allowed to take up arms and fight the French, it is estimated that most Italians do not have the courage.

Dripping through stones is not a day's work.

Now that the British have taken the shot, Franz is naturally willing to cooperate. A strong France is not in Austria's interest, but it is better to decline.

After a pause, Franz added: ”We must also be alert to small British actions. Some seemingly inconspicuous actions may actually cause a disaster in the future.

As long as the bait thrown by the British is not sure of the consequences, they will give up directly. God told us that greed is the original sin of mankind, and everyone must be vigilant. ”

Everyone looked at Franz's cautious warning. Secretly wondered: Is the British so scary?

...

In Paris, Napoleon III dropped the newspaper in his hands with satisfaction. Since the announcement of Monaco's independence, European opinion has sang praises, making him a little bit drifted.

Good reputation, this is not a disadvantage. If a monarch loses his reputation, it is disastrous. But it will be troublesome if it is too much, and a bad one will pay a heavy price.

Napoleon III hesitated to make Monaco independent. A few years ago, it was ready to do so. It was only for the purpose of expanding in Italy and considering political influence that it has been delayed until now.

The great powers also need to make a show, and the establishment of a small village-level Principality of Monaco is an important part of it.

Throughout European countries, only France has no younger brother shouting at the international level, which makes Napoleon III very faceless.

Every time an international conference is held, France's proposal will not be answered until the big powers speak out. If several European powers remain silent, it will be dumb.

At present, the small European countries basically have bosses, and the price to pay to win over is too great.

Since there is no younger brother, then make a younger brother. This is how Monaco came out of independence, and it is completely different from outside speculation.

If it were not for Napoleon III's needs, no matter how hard the British tried, they would not succeed. Don't look at Monaco's independence, this is actually a country within a country.

Except for one face to the sea, the remaining three sides are surrounded by France, and political and economic cannot be separated from the control of France.

Napoleon III kindly asked: ”Ouren, do you understand?”

(Full name of Eugene: Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Jean Joseph Bonaparte)

There were several sons of Napoleon III, but only one such son was legal. Still a middle-aged child, naturally receives much attention.

Although less than 16 years old, Napoleon III brought him into contact with government affairs. The little crown prince became a unique presence in French politics.

Emperor Auren nodded and shook his head and said, ”Some understand, but some don't understand. Since we know the British are uneasy, why should we accept their suggestions?

Is there any Monaco that doesn't help France much, but brings hidden dangers but not small, why should we let them be independent? ”

Napoleon III smiled slightly, touching the head of his son, and said intently, ”You can't just look at the surface, Monaco independence will stimulate the Italian people's desire for independence.

But without Monaco independence, would Italians not want to be independent?

It is indeed uneasy for the British to encourage Monaco to become independent. If they don't intentionally sell them a flaw and attract their attention, they will struggle elsewhere.

Remember, the enemies exposed under your eyes are never terrible. France is already very powerful, and only we can beat us!

As for the Italian Independent Organization, a bunch of clowns hiding in the corner. If we don't jump out, we can't find them; once they come out, we can wipe them out.

The real enemies of France are not these unseemly rats. Only Britain and Austria are eligible to be taken seriously. Both Prussia and Russia can only count half. ”

Ou Ren nodded reluctantly, it seemed that he had learned something, and it seemed to be ...
