Hearing this question, even Metternich. He almost jumped up with anger. Everyone knows what kind of newspaper the "Sun" is, and when did they really care about the international situation or something? That is a matter of "Science Pravda" and "Kommersant". When is the turn of the "Sun" to care about this? Wouldn't it be good for them to take care of the girls from Italy and Eastern Europe in the Moulin Rouge?

What's more, the "Sun" got this kind of breaking news? Come on, no one in Europe knows that the news in the "Sun" is out of the blue. As for the rest, it is not fact, but unfounded. No one in Europe knows that they are silver media under the guise of "news media", a fake news media!

Metternich wanted to point to the Sun reporter’s nose and curse: "You are a fake news media, and what you say is a rumors!" However, Metternich does not understand the king after all, and there is no one behind him who can let him fire off. And everyone can't make him a powerful country. Now there is such a country behind the fake news media.

"This rumor has no factual basis." Metternich replied immediately. "The fact is that in the process of detecting this case, the Austrian government and the French government have maintained good communication, precisely because of the close cooperation between the two parties. This vicious case was detected in advance. For this reason, the Ministry of Public Security of your country has also sent a telegram to express its gratitude to China and expressed the hope to further strengthen the cooperation between the two parties in the field of security. It can be seen that your government is here for our government. I also appreciate the hard work in this incident."

However, this obviously did not convince the reporter of the Sun newspaper. He obviously wanted to seize the opportunity to spread the rumors again. Of course, Metternich knew that the fake news reporter must not be given a chance to continue speaking, so his eyes swept away. , I saw another reporter also raised his hand high. So he immediately stretched out his hand to the reporter: "This gentleman, do you have any questions?"

This is a reporter for a newspaper called the "Danube". This newspaper is a newspaper of Austrian capital, and its circulation in France is quite limited, but with the support of Austria, this newspaper still survives tenaciously in France. At this time, one of the values ​​of its existence is revealed.

"Mr. Ambassador, I want to know what other actions will be taken between Austria and France to enhance mutual strategic trust between the two sides?" The reporter immediately raised the question he had prepared.

This is a very good question, but fortunately, its scope is large enough and empty enough. Such questions gave Metternich a lot of opportunities to talk empty talk, draw big cakes, talk nonsense, and talk about chariots. In this way, you can use the answer to this question to consume a lot of time, and then you can end the press conference after you have answered it on the grounds that the time has come.

So Metternich immediately started talking about this question in a long way. He talked for more than a long time and saw that the time on the hanging clock was almost up. Then he finished answering and announced that because of time, this time This concludes the press conference.

After the press conference, Metternich had nothing else to do. After all, he is just a diplomat. But he still worked hard to find out the attitude of the French upper class. And those high-ranking figures are also full of Fa-Austrian friendship towards him. In addition, considering that the French investments in Austria are still proceeding normally, Metternich judged that the risk of war should not be large.

But in addition to the means of war, the French must have many other means, and Metternich could not take the next step without the domestic authorization, so he can only wait for the time being.

Soon after, there was a reply in China, but this reply only asked Metternich to confirm the intention of the French, and did not include the authorization to allow him to bargain with the French. Obviously, His Majesty Franz II still has a fluke, hoping this is really just a misunderstanding, hoping to continue to keep his crown.

It is said that the emperor personally asked his generals whether there was a chance of victory if there was a war with France. But even the most heroic and eloquent Archduke Karl admitted that if there is a war, it will be an unprecedentedly difficult battle.

Although Archduke Carl did not say that he would be defeated, he was not optimistic about the prospects of war and was very clear.

Since the above requirements are so, Metternich can only continue his previous work.

The actions of the French did not start from the government, but from the newspapers.

The first to attack Austria was the famous fake news media "The Sun." Of course, the Sun is best at fabricating various X scandals, this time it is naturally the same. The Sun newspaper first reported that the Austrian emperor liked those beautiful boys. Then it came up with news that Fritz II was a gay, and then it came up with news that Fritz II and a large group of gays had a secret meeting.

Metternich immediately protested to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that this was an insult to the Austrian head of state and was an intolerable offense. But Talleyrand said that we in France have freedom of the press, so the French government cannot help.

Metternich immediately pointed out that when the Austrian newspapers insulted Bonaparte, the French attitude was not like this. He protested to Talleyrand and said: "It is really painful for all countries to issue such double standards."

Talleyrand naturally opposes the "double standard" argument. He believes that the French government does not have a double standard problem. First of all, in the case of the Austrian newspapers insulting the first ruling power, the Austrian newspapers did not report the incident, but directly carried out personal attacks. But this is not the case with The Sun. The Sun did not use any insulting language towards His Majesty Fritz II, but only reported the news they received from certain channels. This is the right thing, not the person. The two are completely different in nature and cannot be compared.

At the same time, he also pointed out that if His Majesty Fritz II of Austria believes that these reports are not facts, he can also refute rumors freely. I believe most people can tell right from wrong.

Of course, this is a complete nonsense. Let’s not talk about spreading rumors, making rumors, running and breaking the legs, just talk about Fritz II, as the emperor of the "Holy Roman Empire", with the honor of ninety-five years, and one Inferior tabloid arguing, let alone the outcome of the argument, the Emperor Fritz II only had to glance at the sun and he would have lost. If he really argues with the Sun, it is estimated that the shareholders of the Sun can wake up with a smile when they fall asleep. They will definitely be willing to pay together and make a one-ton "Inberdoll Medal" to Freeh. Izmir II.

"My friend." Metternich knew that the silly ruffling would continue, and no one would be able to draw anything out. Everyone was a vampire for thousands of years. What would you tell me about the legend of Count Dracula? So he intends to clarify the matter altogether, so maybe he can really get some effective information.

"My friend, I know the first ruling lord of your country, I am afraid I really hope to go further." Metternich said, "I also know that the first ruling lord of your country is very good for the title of'Emperor of the Romans'. Longing. This is probably the reason for these things happening now?"

Now that Metternich had said so clearly, Talleyrand said frankly: "You have such a guess, and I can understand that we are old friends and should help each other. So, as long as the conditions are right, I I am also willing to provide you with help within our capacity."

Indeed, everyone is a vampire for thousands of years, so what kind of gentleman do we need to pretend to each other? Talleyrand's meaning is also very clear. I can tell you something, but I can't tell you in vain. I have to add money...

For Talleyrand’s request, Metternich is not surprised that Talleyrand, who doesn’t need money, is still Talleyrand?

So the two people discussed the matter of "helping each other" for a while, and quickly reached an agreement, and then Talleyrand told Metternich:

"Your speculation does have some truth, but the first ruling does not intend to change the French republic. But the first ruling does not want to see the title of'Emperor of the Romans' fall on someone else's head. In fact, the first ruling Regardless of whether it is in power or other people, it does not intend to be too hostile with Austria for this."

"But the title of'Emperor of the Romans'~lightnovelpub.net~ is very important to Austria, and there is a real need." Metternich said.

"Of course we know this, but my friend, where does the emperor's majesty come from? The crown itself has no power, otherwise, Western Rome would not perish. What His Majesty Franz really needs is strength, not A name, a name without power, nothing, and power without a name will get a name sooner or later..."

The two talked again, and Metternich said goodbye and left. Back at the embassy, ​​he immediately used carrier pigeons to send a letter back to Austria again, telling in detail what he had learned from contact with the French. And put forward his own suggestions to the emperor.

The Sun is smearing, no, it should be that the actions of His Majesty Fritz II are still continuing, but everyone knows what the Sun is, so no one believes these things at all, even the French themselves. I believe, although many people are willing to watch these contents.

But a few months later, a piece of news suddenly surprised everyone that their jaws broke their feet: Someone reported to the Pope that Emperor Fritz II was a gangster who violated the precepts of the Catholic Church. What is even more surprising is that the Pope actually sent someone to investigate this matter.
