First update

Prime Minister Gladstone has a headache because his previously prepared vision has now failed.

Originally, the newspaper should have been published in the newspaper the day before yesterday that Napoleon was killed by Bonaparte extremists, but it is still silent. Prime Minister Gladstone speculated that the assassination plan that Eugenie told Queen Victoria was still not implemented.

Moreover, the Bonaparte Party assassins have been missing for a long time, and there is only one possibility.

They fell into the hands of the National Gendarmerie.

However, there has been no news from the Bonaparte Party, and finally the whereabouts of the assassination were found through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Napoleon led the National Gendarmerie to rush into Bourbon Palace the day before yesterday, and should he arrest the President of Parliament directly?"

Gladstone took the telegram and took a deep breath. Although it was ostensibly said that it was removed from office for the investigation of the reselling of the parliamentarian seats, he knew very well that this matter was not that simple.

Because Grevi was arrested just the day when he lost contact with the Bonaparte Party. Eugenie must have learned the news earlier than she did.

Napoleon is probably now secretly taking action, ready to capture all the damned traitors.

Only the stupid Regent was still thinking about the dream of restoring the Bonaparte family.

Prime Minister Gladstone never hopes that those who fall into the hands of the National Gendarmerie can return intact. He has regarded these people as meaningless abandoned children and announced the failure of the plan to Queen Victoria.

It is his unshirkable duty to stop this guy from continuing to confuse Queen Victoria.

He went to Buckingham Palace to clean up the mess of the farce. From the beginning, Gladstone shouldn't believe the nonsense of the Bonaparte family in power. Her husband and son were both dead, what could Eugenie do? Queen of France?

Gladstone curled his lips disdainfully, and Queen Victoria agreed to such an absurd plan out of regret for Napoleon IV. The woman's heart is really unpredictable.

Gladstone came to the living room but was told that the Queen was meeting Eugenie. He frowned in dissatisfaction, for some reason why this woman is still pestering her. The plan has failed, and she should give up.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Gladstone walked into the living room regardless of the other people's obstruction. At this time, Queen Victoria was talking to Eugenie. When she saw the Prime Minister rushing in without etiquette, she felt a little dissatisfied.

Before the Prime Minister could speak, Queen Victoria spoke directly and said sarcastically, "What's wrong? My Prime Minister? Shouldn't you handle diplomatic affairs in Downing Street now? I'm afraid it's a bit unpleasant to rush in and listen to the chat between the two women, right?"

Gladstone looked at Eugenie and said bluntly, "Don't think about it, I received information today. The Bonaparte Party has been arrested, including your MPs who are in the back and forth, Queen Eugenie. What trump card do you have in your hands now? No one supports you anymore."

"Prime Minister Gladstone, that's not what you said before."

Eugenie asked him calmly, "You said you are willing to support the restoration of the Bonaparte Party and support us in implementing the assassination plan. Now you are the other way around. Are you planning to burn bridges across the river?"

The impeccable rebuttal made Prime Minister Gladstone pause. Everything Eugenie said was true. He had agreed to her request because of the adventurous idea.

"I don't care about what happened in the past, the situation has changed now. I can't involve the interests of Great Britain in your personal affairs!"

"But you Great Britain also wish Napoleon died, right? Otherwise, how can you destroy the French-German alliance and how can you resolve your conflict in Transvaal? You are still coveting the gold mine there!"

Eugenie exposes the other party's selfishness, and Gladstone takes her eyes awkwardly, but happens to see Queen Victoria's unidentified eyes.

She looked at the other party with contempt and said with a sneer, "I'm right. When you need the Bonaparte Party, you are more diligent than anyone else. Now you are afraid of being involved in the British government, so you are ready to kick us away? Prime Minister Gladstone, no wonder you will be ridiculed by your political opponent Benjamin Disraelli as a 'hypocritical Liverpoolman' and 'cowardly little Englishman'."

When he was running for prime minister, he dressed up as a zealous protector of the weak nation, and used all opportunities such as mass congresses, demonstrations or parliamentary speeches to accuse the Turkish rulers of atrocities and the reactionary policies of Disrari, thus gaining the reputation of the Balkans friend.

Now that he became the British Prime Minister, Gladstone has become like his old opponents, actively supporting foreign expansion, such as the increasingly fierce Egyptian issue. Britain is fully prepared to launch a war, not only snatching back 44% of its shares from the French, but also a powerful campaign to suppress the colonies.

The Egyptian issue is the last bit of friendship between Britain and France. Gladstone wants to start from this issue and regain the last bit of political interests.

"Empress Eugenie, you're talking a little too much."

Gladstone squeezed out a smile, and he said in a steady tone, "I think what I should worry about most now is your own safety. Napoleon is not a person who will give up. Sooner or later, he is wrong. Maybe he already knows that you are the mastermind behind the scenes. No matter where you hide, the shadow of death will follow you."

“This is Great Britain!”

Eugenie stared at Gladstone coldly and asked back, "Does he dare to do this?"

Gladstone had no idea of ​​continuing to talk to her. In fact, Eugenie had not yet figured out her situation at all. After several rounds of confrontation with France, he realized that Napoleon would not give up, and those who dared to assassinate him would definitely be punished a hundred times more.

After saying this, Prime Minister Gladstone turned around and left.

After he returned to Downing Street, he immediately began to prepare a private letter to Napoleon. He wanted to clear the relationship between Britain in this incident and avoid escalating personal grudges to political clashes between the two countries. This is not a good choice.

Similarly, he was afraid of death.

So betrayal of Eugenie is the best choice.

A few days later, Paris received a secret letter from No. 10 Downing Street.

This surprised him. After all, because the two sides had already broken their faces after the Transvaal incident, the British Prime Minister would come to write a letter in person, which was almost an impossible event.

When he took the hot paint, took out the letter paper from it and glanced a few hurriedly, he showed a sudden enlightenment. He did not expect that the British government would make such a big move in order to clear the relationship.

Prime Minister Gladstone made a small report to the Palace of Duille, secretly revealing everything Queen Eugenie did. She sent the Bonaparte extremists who were preparing to assassinate the French president. All the conspiracies were the only ones. He and Queen Victoria tried to dissuade the queen who was eager to revenge, but she refused to listen.

Napoleon called Foreign Minister Dekaz to the office, locked the door, and handed the secret letter from the British Prime Minister to the other side.

After reading the letter, Dekaz took a deep breath of air conditioning and said meaningfully, "I really didn't expect that even the British royal family was involved."

"I didn't expect that there were more things to do. This old fox is busy cutting off relations on this issue, just to cut off relations with him, perhaps even before participating in the assassination operation."

Napoleon never believed in the British. Since the 19th century, they regarded the strong rise of France as the biggest trouble in the continental region. Until Paris, under the leadership of Napoleon, had the possibility of re-expanding the continental empire, and its attitude gradually changed from sympathizers during the French-Prussian War to its greatest competitor.

Of course, in the eyes of the arrogant British Empire, Germany has been just an ambitious nouveau riche from the beginning to now.

"Don't be fooled by Gladstone's goodwill."

Napoleon reminded the Foreign Minister of Dekaz, saying, "Now the British are still eyeing the Suez Canal in Egypt. Since we took the lead in acquiring the operation rights, the British have gradually become impatient."

If you are familiar with history, you will know that the British-Egypt War broke out in 1882, and the motherlanders tried to resist the "European Cabinet" and formed an army to suppress the British and French coalition forces. However, this time the British may not have any partners to cooperate. After all, the United Kingdom and France also had problems with Egypt's joint trusteeship due to the deterioration of the Boers issue in South Africa.

"The British's idea is simple, to maintain a huge and functional war machine. Their budget is gradually rising. Last year, their Parliament announced a budget of £23 million, which will rise to £32 million after 1889. As for the Navy, hehe."

The naval budget is still at 11 million pounds, which has quadrupled before World War II. Germany's naval spending growth rate during the same period was even more amazing: from 90 million marks per year to nearly 400 million.

Napoleon was not the only one who saw heavy industry and war joining each other. Nobel and Carnegie knew very clearly what made them capitalists who became dynamite and steel wealthy. Engels also reminded everyone that when war became a branch of large industry, large industry would gradually become a politically necessary condition.

"If we have a long-term vision, we will realize that Egypt is becoming precarious. The UK had previously encouraged Turkey to depose Ismail and appointed his son Dufik as the new governor. As a result, Dufik followed the British mercy, formed a puppet government, dissolved the parliament, and arrested the motherlanders. This directly led to the army uprising last month, surrounded the palace, gained support from the people, and forced Dufik to convene parliament. We should all be very clear that they are challenging the patience of European countries. Gladstone's current weakness is to confuse Paris, and then secretly attack the Egyptian issue in the next Egypt."

Napoleon tore the letter from Gladstone into pieces, then turned his head to Foreign Minister Dekaz and said, "I need you to prepare for the British issue first. Regarding Queen Eugenie, I will deal with it myself."

When Minister Dekaz heard about his personal handling, his heart sank.

It seems that I am preparing to take the emperor seriously.
