In Paris, the French were holding a funeral for Napoleon III. The dense crowds outside were enough to prove the popularity of Napoleon III.

On this day, French workers took a collective holiday, and capitalists couldn't do it even if they wanted to. The title of "Socialist Emperor" by Napoleon III is no joke, and its influence among workers exceeded that of anyone.

The people's spontaneous organization of mourning activities is a satire compared to the desolation of the original time and space.

Although there are many people attending the funeral, few guests have the weight. The sequelae of the Bonaparte family's poor popularity is fully reflected here.

The royal families of all European countries seemed to be very busy. Except for those who depended on the French for dinner, the other great nobles only sent representatives to attend, and some were too lazy to even send representatives.

Taking the Habsburg family as an example, Franz sent a side count to deal with it. Even if the two countries were allies, they could not change the royal families of the two countries disliked each other.

The grievances here are a confusing account that cannot be clarified for a while. Not only the Habsburgs, but most European nobles are unfriendly to the Bonaparte family.

The nobles also hold grudges. Napoleon swept across the European continent and I don’t know how many people’s jobs were destroyed. How could this account be settled?

If the Bonaparte family declined, everyone would probably feel better. The result is just the opposite. The Bonaparte family is still brilliant. Seeing this explosive household, everyone was too jealous, so how could they support them?

Original time and space Napoleon IV died unexpectedly in South Africa, but it caused a lot of controversy, and many people speculated that it was planned and murdered by the British royal family.

The reason is: When Napoleon IV encountered the Zulu warrior, Army Lieutenant Carey and his subordinates were only 50 yards away from Eugen, but they retreated to the camp without a single shot.

There must be articles behind this obviously abnormal behavior. It is hard to say who planned it.

The Bonaparte family has too many enemies, and people who are capable of planning such low-level accidents are at least three digits.

There was no way, and the last heir of his own line died. The Bonaparte family not only lost the hope of restoration, but also lost the ability to track down the real murderer.

The atmosphere at the funeral was a bit weird. If someone paid attention, he would find that many people looked gloating. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would probably have laughed out loud.

Yes, some people came just to make jokes. The crown prince Eugen, who had just left Napoleon III, was too young, and the French government would inevitably have a fierce battle.

For example: Victor Emmanuel II, the former king of the Kingdom of Sardinia, came to watch the fun. Napoleon III drove him off the stage, and he had long hated him to the core, and now he came here to ruin the situation.

He hung his smile on his face without any concealment and ignored Eugen's murderous gaze. Europe does not have the habit of killing regicide. Even if he is the former king, he is still a king.

As a member of the I remember interest group, no matter how angry Eugen is, he will never be able to kill the monarch. Now it is still the funeral scene, so he can't do anything.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this approach is very unwise. This stimulates people. Can't take action on the outside and secretly take revenge?

However, Victor Emmanuel II had a reason to do it. Now he led the Sardinian Restoration Organization, which has been united with the Italian Revolutionary Party.

Now that the Italian independence movement is in a low tide, as the leader of the public, Victor Emmanuel II must do something exciting.

He used Napoleon III's funeral. Of course, someone cooperated with him. There were so many people who wanted to see the Bonaparte family make a fool of themselves.

Anyway, after attending the funeral, he would leave with the guests. It would be better if the French wanted to intercept them, and they could also hype up public opinion. A country that wants to watch French jokes will not give up this opportunity.

...

Franz didn't care about the farce at the funeral of Napoleon III. This was all a small problem. That is, he was young and could not bear the stimulation. If he had changed to an old fried dough stick, he would never pay attention to it.

All of them destroyed their country and took away their throne. Are they not allowed to make a little angry?

Isn’t it just that I was smiling next to me, but I didn’t come out to make trouble and disrupt the funeral order, so I treated these guys as air.

If you have to settle the score for a long time, why bother to hurry up? As the French emperor, it is not too easy to attack a few clowns?

As long as they cut off their source of income, these guys will cry soon. If they can't do the regicide, they will have to worry about the food, rice, oil and salt every day for the rest of their lives.

The exiled monarch has a difficult life, and there are still a large group of people who follow him to have dinner. It is absolutely impossible to have no money.

Franz has seen this. Massimiliano failed so much that hundreds of people came to join him one after another.

If Franz hadn't often paid for helping him, Empress Dowager Sophie was secretly subsidizing it, not to mention keeping the emperor's pomp, it would not be easy to let so many people have a meal.

These people were yelling that they wanted to counterattack Mexico, and they really wanted to implement it, but they would useless. But there was no way, and they had to keep it.

Don’t look at these people’s abilities. It’s completely different from not having these people. What should I do if I don’t have these people to help me shake my flags and swear, and whitewash my reputation?

Franz was willing to pay for a group of idealistic verbal sluts, so that these people could promote Massimirino's reform measures everywhere, whether practical or not, or whether it was in line with Mexico's national conditions, at least on the surface.

The people who don’t know the truth can easily be led by mistake if they fail to think of deep-seated problems.

Of course, these people's activities in Austria are also restricted, and they are not allowed to go anywhere, and the articles they write are all selected.

A large number of them were sent by Franz to France for further study, in the name of learning the Bonapartean restoration experience.

At present, the effect is good. Masimirino's Mexican Restoration Organization has been established and has attracted many Mexican students to participate.

It was all the times when it was bad. Seeing the domestic warlords fighting so well, these people finally found that it was better for the emperor.

Influenced by public opinion, many people thought about it carefully and found that Masimirino did nothing bad in his lifetime.

As the newspaper said, the local warlords in Mexico were too strong to prevent the emperor's orders from being implemented.

Because they opposed the emperor's reform, the conservatives and warlords rebelled together, and the revolutionaries were all fools who were fooled.

Behind this, Franz sponsors Masimirino 200,000 ASUS every year. It can be said that public opinion is brought back by money.

Victor Emmanuel II is under much pressure. One is just talking but not practicing, and the other is taking practical actions to restore the country, and the expenses are not the same level.

Although there are many sponsors secretly sponsored, the amount is not large. Victor Emanuel II, who is under a large group of subordinates, is short of money. If the money is not enough, you must create topics, mobilize everyone's patriotic enthusiasm, or use big tricks to deceive the financial supporter to increase investment.

As long as the source of funds is cut off, the popularity of these restoration organizations will immediately drop by many levels. After all, people also have to make a living.

...

Intelligence leader Tyron: "Your Majesty, the Prussians have taken action. In recent days, Polish newspapers have been scolding the government, attributeing the chaos in Poland to the lack of a king, and the top government officials are fighting for power and profit.

The foundation of the Dombrowsky government was unstable, and it was because of the support of public opinion that barely won the general election. The Prussians were forced to do so, and they now hoped for international interference.

However, Napoleon III had just died, and everyone was paying attention to the future political trend of France and was not attentive to Poland for a while.

If no accidents occur, the Polish parliament will re-enroll the king's election within a month, with much fewer competitors this time, and William I's election is almost doomed."

The number of competitors has decreased. This is not because the Prussians have done it. It is because many people are scared by the chaos in Poland and do not want to go to this muddy water.

Don’t look at how long it took for the Big Bobo to be independent, there are so many things that have been done. They regard themselves as great powers in the international world, as if they are already one of the great powers.

It is self-proclaimed as the sixth most powerful country in Europe, second only to the five countries of Britain, France, Opp and Russia. It has never considered the feelings of Spain, the German Federation and the Nordic Federation. In terms of comprehensive national strength, these three companies are no worse than Poland.

Even the two inconspicuous small countries, the Netherlands and Portugal, may not be as strong as Poland in their comprehensive national strength. Don’t think that they are narrow-minded and have few people, but they have colonies and their economic strength is better than Poland.

Forget this, it is just a need for propaganda, and it is acceptable to exaggerate one's own strength appropriately. The diplomatic misunderstanding that Austria almost used force against Poland, which made many people understand.

The Kingdom of Poland looks good and is also a medium-sized country on the European continent. In theory, as long as it develops well, it is possible to join the club of the great powers.

But the geographical location is really bad, it is sandwiched between the three countries of Pu, Austria and Russia. The sudden Oppo conflict has made many people recall the old story of the Three Kingdoms dividing Poland.

If you have a bad geographical location, you are clearly a huge pit. No one wants to become the king of a devastated country. After weighing the pros and cons, many people choose to give up.

Franz picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Continue to stare, don't act rashly. The secret agent in the UK can start it. When William I elects as the king of Poland, start it immediately.

Be careful to hide and don't expose us. It's best to let the German Federal Empire take the initiative and they jump out to compete with the French for the Rhineland region.

We and the British have received news that the French were going to buy the Rhineland. In order not to allow the French to continue to expand, it is much more reasonable to support the German Federation to obtain the Rhineland region."

Austria has a great influence in the German Federation. Many great nobles and senior government officials have had secret contact with the Vienna government. It is not difficult to push them out, but the problem is that it is difficult to keep it confidential.

No one can guarantee that these people will not leak secrets. Betting separately has always been the way for these people to survive. While maintaining contact with Austria, they have also dealt with other forces.

The front foot agreed to keep it secret, and the back foot sold it out. Don’t happen too much in the European continent.

Especially such things that affect national decision-making cannot be done by one or two people. There are too many people who need to be mobilized. If someone leaks the secret, it will be difficult to find out who is a traitor.

Intelligence leader Tyron replied thoughtfully: "Yes, your majesty. We will first expose the secret transactions of legal publicity, and then let the British push the German Federation out for the dispute."

The Berlin government issued a blank check, which doesn't matter, as long as everyone thinks it is true.

Faced with international pressure, if the Prussians dared to force the attack, Franz would dare to join forces with European countries to intervene. From the very beginning, he was prepared to force the Berlin government to abandon the Rhineland region by force.

In the 19th century, if a country wants to be strong, it must first have enough coal and iron. Without these things, heavy industry cannot develop.

The most important thing that Germany could develop in the original space-time is that they have coal and iron resources in the Rhineland region, which is why they have the glory of the Ruhr Industrial Zone later.

In a short period of time, this part of the resources is missing, and the effect may not be obvious. With the further development of industrial technology, sequelae will break out.

Even if the Kingdom of Poland is annexed, it will not make up for this part of the resource loss. European coal mine resources are mainly distributed in England, Central Euro-Rhineland, Ukraine, Silesia, and the Balkans.
