Just as Montaubon and Empress Ou Renni were discussing secretly, Attendant suddenly walked over and said to the Queen in a low voice, ”external phase, I wish to meet you for a moment!”
could guess why the Foreign Secretary had come to find her. The Duke of Grammon's job was really too hard to do! A lot of policies were based on changing the rules. Previously, he had already expressed that he would give up on the territory requirements of Hesse, but now that he had to do it on a temporary basis, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Elder was unable to work at all.
Negotiations between countries were naturally a matter of open rivalry and covert strife. Under the guise of words and words, there would surely be all sorts of scheming and scheming! Bargain was a very normal thing, but if it reached the level of French Emperor, it would be a joke.
Abandoning Darmstadt and remaining territorial claims on the territory of the Hesse were sent to Prussia in black and white.
The King of Prussia and the Prime Minister had seen it with their own eyes. Furthermore, he was going back on his words for no reason at all. This kind of going back on his words was destined to become a joke in the history of diplomatic negotiations!
He was really unable to communicate with the Emperor, but he saw the worried expression in Empress Ou Renni's eyes during the royal ball. He felt that it was time to discuss this issue with her.
There was a saying among all Chinese people that a child could be called an old one. When a person grew old, they would sometimes become abnormal. Napoleon III, 62 years old, had a completely different personality compared to when he was young.
None of the ministers in the court knew his temperament, no one knew when he would be angry, and no one knew when he would be happy.
At that moment, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could only place her hopes on the Empress, he hoped that the sleeper would be able to help at the most crucial moment!
Seeing that Duke Grai Meng had walked over, Empress Ou Renni nodded at Montale! This Duke of oculi bridge, knowing that there were some things he could not say, bowed and left!
Duke Grimaud and Montaubon smiled wryly at each other, and both saw the deep helplessness in each other's eyes.
As for the Duke of Clementine, his face grew a foot long the moment he saw the Queen.
”My esteemed empress, I really can't do anything about it. If Your Majesty were to change the order like this, I'd have to resign and protest!”
”Who would bargain like that? Who would go back on their word like that? How do we diplomats do our work? ”
The Duke of Grai Meng started to complain the moment they met. After talking for a good fifteen minutes, Queen Ou Renni forced a smile and listened attentively. In the end, she even poured a cup of coffee for external phase.
”Alright, old friend, I know your difficulties. I'll be the one in charge of this matter, so you can let it go for now. After all, it was the party just now. Who knows if he'll change his mind tomorrow? I'll talk to him …”
When Duke Grimaud left the Versailles, he sat on the carriage and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, ”Luckily, the empress and the empire finally understood it a little. Otherwise, it would really be dangerous.”
Today was just a very ordinary occasion. The important officials of the France did not pay too much attention to it, but none of them expected that on the night of that very day, everything that happened during the banquet would be delivered to Gladstone.
The efficiency of the British intelligence network was much better than that of the French!
