Chapter 319 Arrogant Woman

Baron Turgut immediately said in disbelief: "Your Highness, with all due respect, are you kidding me?"

Joseph held his arms hard - Turgut was not tall, and Joseph, who was 1.7 meters tall, was only a little shorter than him - said seriously: "I believe that Her Majesty the Queen will also agree with my proposal. France and Austria We are the closest friends, so we will naturally do our best to help each other through difficult times!”

The Austrian Foreign Minister's eyes sparkled and he nodded excitedly: "Yes, you are absolutely right! Fao will always be the staunchest ally!

"In that case, I will rush to the Palace of Versailles overnight to ask His Majesty to send troops to Luxembourg."

When Joseph saw him, he was about to get up and stopped him: "We must block Blücher's offensive as soon as possible to prevent Luxembourg from falling. It will take too long for you to go to Paris and return."

"What do you mean?"

Joseph put on a thoughtful posture: "Let's do this, you return to Vienna immediately and ask His Majesty the Emperor to issue an edict to let the Austrian troops and officials in Luxembourg fully cooperate with me to snipe the Prussians. At the same time, I will transfer the troops planned to reinforce the Southern Netherlands and continue to work hard. Attack on Silesia.

"As for the Palace of Versailles, you can just send an assistant to submit your credentials to Her Majesty the Queen."

Baron Turgut wanted to nod, but hesitated and said: "Isn't it too rude to only send an assistant to meet His Majesty?"

"State affairs are of paramount importance!" Joseph said sternly, "Don't worry, His Majesty will definitely understand you. In addition, I can send someone to accompany your assistant to Paris to explain to His Majesty for you."

"Thank you so much!" Turgut immediately bowed deeply to Joseph, "Austria will always remember your kindness!"

Vienna.

Schönbrunn Palace.

Joseph II put down Turgut's secret letter - his foreign minister had just arrived in Bavaria at this time, and the letter was returned by a horseman after three days of running - a faint smile finally appeared on his bloodless face, and he said to Leo Pod II said: "Our sister agreed to go and snipe Blücher. In this way, we can continue to maintain the superior strength in Silesia.

"Oh, tell General Leo to accept the command of the French army."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Leopold II nodded, but said solemnly, "Your Majesty, will it cause any trouble if French troops enter the lowlands in large numbers?"

The Walloon region of the Southern Netherlands basically speaks French and is very close to France. Austria has always been wary of France getting involved there.

Joseph II sighed weakly: "General Wilmser failed to make a good deployment of Luxembourg and rushed to Silesia, allowing the Prussians to take advantage of the loophole...

"Besides relying on the French army, what else can we do now? Should we give up the Silesian battlefield?"

Leopold II lowered his head when he heard this.

Austria had experienced three defeats in the Silesian War, and a fourth could not be accepted. At this time, his brother has seriously offended the aristocracy because of his vigorous promotion of reforms. If the front line is defeated again, it is likely that there will be big chaos in the country.

"You don't have to worry." Joseph II waved his hand. "The Prussian army in the Southern Netherlands plus the rebels totals more than 30,000 people. It is already very difficult for 20,000 French troops to hold Luxembourg. It is impossible. Entering the Southern Netherlands.

"And as long as we resolve the fighting in Silesia as soon as possible, the Prussians will naturally withdraw from the Southern Netherlands."

Although Leopold II also agreed with his brother's statement, he was still a little unwilling to say: "Then Luxembourg..."

Joseph II had exhausted all his strength and lay down: "Let's treat it as an exchange of interests. Luxembourg is still acceptable to the French."

After all, as long as we can capture the rich Silesia, everything will be worth it.

And without the help of the French, Austria would lose the Southern Netherlands and Luxembourg together. It would not be a huge loss to exchange the small Luxembourg for the Southern Netherlands, which is more than ten times larger in area.

Leopold II came out of His Majesty the Emperor's bedroom, thinking about how to recruit more troops to Silesia, and unknowingly returned to his room.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard his wife's angry scream: "How could she do this?! She is humiliating me and humiliating Austria!" Then there was the sound of porcelain hitting the ground.

Leopold II frowned and looked up at the guard guarding the door. The latter immediately lowered his head in panic and whispered: "Your Majesty, she went to your study..."

Leopold II immediately thought of something, pushed the door open quickly, and went straight to the study. He saw a group of maids and servants standing in the corner in shock, and several antique porcelains that were originally placed on the table. They were all thrown to the ground and turned into pieces. There was only one letter placed on the entire large table.

The letter Marie Antoinette wrote to His Majesty the Emperor did not mention the marriage of the Dauphin of France. Because His Majesty the Emperor was in poor health, he left it to him. Then the war broke out, before he could care about it.

Unexpectedly, Victor Luca unexpectedly turned it out.

Leopold II coughed lightly, stepped forward to put away the letter, then took his wife's hand and comforted him: "My dear, Clementine is far from the age of childbearing. My sister is pregnant." It’s normal to have concerns. His Majesty the Emperor has decided not to mention this matter again.”

"Why didn't you mention it?! Didn't you and your brother say before that this matter would definitely happen?" Vitoruka withdrew his hand forcefully and gritted his teeth, "I have told almost all the ladies and celebrities, Clementine will become the Crown Princess of France and has received congratulations from countless people..."

"Now, you are telling me to give up on this matter?!" She pointed at her husband's nose and said viciously, "You loser! How did you become a husband and father? That woman has humiliated us like this, and you don't even think about it. Dare to help us seek justice!”

"Marie Antoinette!" she shouted hoarsely, "One day, I will avenge this humiliation tenfold and a hundredfold!"

Leopold II stuffed the letter into his pocket, shook his head and said: "Don't be like this, Vidoluka, she is my biological sister. And in fact, the Palace of Versailles did not say anything about the engagement. It was you who spread the news without authorization...

"Oh, forget it, forget about this. We will choose a good marriage for Clementine, and His Majesty the Emperor will definitely give her a generous dowry, so that she will live a very happy life in the future."

"No, how could I forget! You care about family affection, why doesn't she care about it?" Vidoluka's chest heaved violently, and his eyes were filled with chills, "I want that woman to know that she made a stupid mistake!"

Leopold II shook his head helplessly, whispered to his servants to take care of his wife, and then turned around and went to the conference hall. There are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in Austria, where can he distract himself from the short-term matters of his family.

…

France, Verdun.

Just as the Austrian Foreign Minister left, Joseph ordered the Guards to set off for Luxembourg.

He knew that Joseph II had no other choice but to rely on France to deal with Blücher.
