Napoleon II Reborn

Chapter 275: 7th Coalition Against France

(Chapter to)

January 1, 1814, the first day of the new year, was also the time when the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Provisional Government of the French Empire, Company, was waiting in Moscow for the summoning of Tsar Alexander. The foreign ministers of the seven countries of the Anti-French Alliance plus the foreign ministers of the Kingdom of France held a secret meeting in Vienna, which was not made public until the end of the meeting.

The Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna is heavily guarded today because it is used as a meeting place for the anti-French alliance today. At 9 o'clock in the morning, foreign ministers from various countries arrived at Schönbrunn Palace one after another. As the host, Emperor Francis I of Austria attended the first meeting of the day. The meeting was chaired by Austrian Foreign Minister Metternich. The main topic of the meeting was to discuss the Iberian occupation of the French Kingdom and the threat of the French Empire to Europe.

"His Majesty Francis I, my Excellencies, Iberia tore up the "Paris Peace Treaty" without authorization and barbarously occupied the Kingdom of France. This is a violation of the sacred treaty and a provocation to the parties to the treaty. The country can stand up bravely, uphold justice, and bring peace to the European continent." At the beginning of the meeting, Talleyrand spoke first, waving his fists constantly, in order to vent his anger.

"The savage Andrési and his army not only invaded our loyal ally, the Kingdom of France, but also despicably occupied our Prussian territory - Alsace and Lorraine. This is a complete provocation to us. Therefore, I I believe that we should unite again to eliminate Andrési and his army, his country, and restore the previous order in Europe." Prussian Foreign Minister Earl Claude spoke second.

After the two of them spoke, others also stood up to speak one after another, basically condemning Andresi's barbaric invasion. Some radicals even clamored to organize coalition forces to invade Paris and hang Andresi to death. Category. It's just that most of the people who make such remarks are fools or mentally disturbed.

"Lord Smegle, what do you mean?" Talleyrand couldn't help asking seeing that neither Smegle nor Makovsky had made a statement. You must know that the two countries are important members of the alliance.

"Your Excellency Talleyrand, I completely agree with your point of view. But what I want to say is, do we really have the strength to organize coalition forces to attack Paris now? Frankly speaking, Britain does not have this strength now. I am not afraid to tell you that on 11 During the naval battle in July, the Royal Navy suffered heavy losses. The Channel Fleet lost a large number of main warships, and almost lost control of the Channel. Fortunately, we got the support of the local fleet in time, so that we have the strength to continue to compete with the Iberian Navy for the Channel. Control. From November to the present, although no major naval battle broke out, small-scale conflicts have been going on. Due to the performance of warships, the Royal Navy has been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Iberian fleet. After a hundred years of accumulation, I am afraid that we have lost control of the strait long ago. Now our country is mainly focused on competing with the Iberian fleet for control of the sea, and there is no extra energy to attack Paris." Smegle said the Lord sincerely. The United Kingdom is a maritime country, and the control of the sea is very important to the United Kingdom. After the Iberian fleet won the naval battle, with the help of the army, it occupied Le Havre at the mouth of the Seine River, and quickly established a naval base here, plus the Channel Islands already under control, the Iberian The fleet used these two places to continuously challenge Britain's maritime supremacy. With more and more new warships entering the order of battle, the pressure on the Royal Navy is also increasing.

Unexpectedly, Lord Smeagley would tell everyone such a confidential matter. Everyone was stunned, especially the Foreign Minister of the Saxon Kingdom who clamored to attack Paris, and he was speechless. Everyone knows that they all underestimate Andresi. Britain, as the overlord of the ocean, is forced into such a rush by the Iberian fleet.

"We, Russia, don't have the extra strength to participate in everyone's attack on Paris. Everyone knows that in the last war, our Russia lost hundreds of thousands of people, and the despicable Turkish Empire took advantage of this time to attack our Turkestan. region, the Persian Empire has also attacked our Steppe Governorate, where most of our power is now contained. Therefore, we fully agree with this attack on Paris, but unfortunately our country will not be able to send troops to participate. "Makovsky also said something that shocked everyone.

After Smeigley's and Makovsky's speeches were over, no one said anything more. Even the two most important members of the alliance say that they have no strength to participate in the operation, so what else can other countries do? Let's fight, I'm afraid I won't be someone else's opponent. Don't fight, the words have already been said, and it would be embarrassing to change the words now. The hall fell into an eerie silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground.

Seeing that everyone stopped speaking, Talleyrand was very anxious. If these countries did not help, it would be impossible for the Kingdom of France to restore its country. "Is everyone intimidated by this difficulty? Although countries do not have the strength to attack Paris now, Andresi certainly does not have the strength to continue to wage wars. Otherwise, why would he send Compini to various countries, hoping to cooperate with other countries? What about holding peace talks and ending the war? In the last war, all countries consumed a lot, but their national strength can be restored slowly. At worst, wait 5 or 10 years. It’s okay for Lacey to show off. I don’t believe that Andrese can compete with the whole of Europe with the power of one country. When the coalition forces capture Paris, it will be the day of Andresi’s demise. At that time, Europe will regain its strength. Peace," Talleyrand urged.

"Yes, we can wait for the strength of all countries to recover before fighting Andresi." Earl Claude also agreed.

Talleyrand looked at Smeigley and Makovsky again, and he knew that as long as the two of them nodded, the matter would basically be completed. Smeigley and Makovsky looked at each other. The two of them are also sensible people. They know that there must be a battle between the countries and Andresi. push back. Therefore, both nodded in agreement.

After Smeigley and Makovsky expressed their views, Austrian Foreign Minister Metternich also agreed with this opinion after receiving the approval of Francis I. Several major countries agreed, and countries such as Bavaria, Saxony, and Thuringia naturally had no different opinions, and they all passed this proposal.

"I propose that all countries once again form a new anti-French alliance and gather the power of the whole of Europe to contend with Andresi until he is finally eliminated." Talleyrand said excitedly.

No objection was raised. Next, everyone signed the peace treaty, and a new alliance was formed. This is the seventh anti-French alliance. It's just that the seventh anti-French alliance is different from the previous six times, that is, this time it is against Xiao Jie, while the previous six times are against Napoleon except for the first time.

The new alliance once again unites the whole of Europe, and they will give up their conflicts in order to eliminate the threat of Xiao Jie and his country to Europe until Xiao Jie and his country are destroyed.

"Everyone, I have another opinion. Everyone knows that on the 20th, Andresi will hold a coronation ceremony. Although we cannot pose a threat to him due to the situation, we can definitely pass another This method has caused him a lot of trouble, and it can also hit Andrési's arrogance." Talleyrand said mysteriously.

"Oh, what's the best way?" Everyone was interested.

Talleyrand coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said: "I think everyone knows that when Napoleon died, he passed the throne to his son Francois. Now Andresi wants to rebuild France." The empire wants to be emperor by itself, isn’t this a violation of Napoleon’s will? We can definitely make a fuss about it. Now the members of the Bonaparte family must be very dissatisfied with Andresi’s behavior, UU reading www.uukanshu.com As long as we give them a little support, I believe they will bring us unexpected surprises. However, this requires the support of His Majesty Francis I."

Everyone looked at Francis I, because when Paris was captured, because Francois was the grandson of Francis I, most of the members of the Bonaparte family were taken to Austria, leaving a small Part in Italy, and a Lucien in London, England. Therefore, if this plan is to be implemented, it must be supported by Francis I.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Francis I secretly scolded Talleyrand for causing trouble for him, but in the current situation, he can't do it if he doesn't agree. Is it going to be against the whole of Europe? "Of course, I will inform Louise." Francis I said with a smile. Louise is Francois' biological mother, and now Francois is only 3 years old, so of course Louise is in charge of anything.

"Lucien, who is in London now, can also participate. I believe he will be very happy." Smegley also said with a smile.

Everyone is looking forward to Xiao Jie's coronation ceremony very much now, God knows what troubles will arise then. And the more chaotic France is, the happier other countries are.
