Chapter 1270 Crisis Resolved (Part 2)

Varner was completely furious, but he had no choice but to do as Mario Alvarez Casal was not only a singer, but also the queen's envoy.

However, Varner was still very confident. After all, this was just a simple raid. As long as those spineless local nobles could hold the Austrians back for a few days, he would be sure to take Barcelona.

In fact, even if Barcelona could not be taken, the Austrians would be unable to take care of themselves and lose their composure, so that his goal would be achieved.

The rest was just a matter of time. Varner did not believe that sea transportation was more convenient than land transportation. He could wear the Austrians to death with the advantages of location and people.

If it were not for his own queen, he would have planned to counterattack Austria.

France, Paris.

Louis Napoleon was very disappointed. He never expected that Franz had only this ability. He had just won two battles and his true colors were exposed.

It seems that the previous transaction was just a flash of inspiration. The people of the Habsburg family are really idiots.

I must not marry a fool, a sickly woman, or a prostitute like my uncle.

The top leaders of the French government also opened the champagne. Spain is a magical rotten land, and almost no one can escape from it unscathed.

"Let us pray for the lovely and ridiculous Franz Joseph I.

Pray that he will lead the Austrian Empire to the abyss! Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The crisis that the Habsburgs may unite Spain has been resolved, which is really good for the French.

Although the Second French Republic has stabilized at this time, it has not yet gotten out of the trough.

The economic crisis, successive defeats, the division of the country, the loss of colonies, and the dissatisfaction of various classes in the country with the reshuffle have made the country extremely unstable.

Everyone knows that as long as there is a little disturbance, there will be another revolution, which will be more intense than 1848.

Even a new storm is brewing.

Now the top leaders of the entire Second French Republic are looking for a solution, otherwise they will be overthrown.

On the other hand, Guizot returned to Louis Philippe's account after many twists and turns. Although Guizot had a bad reputation, he was indeed good at handling government affairs and making money.

However, Guizot was not willing to live with Louis Philippe in the Duke of Orleans. He wanted the Orleans family to return to Paris.

At this time, the chaos in France was the best time. The French people had suffered from the republic for a long time.

Guizot's remarks frightened the French Republicans as soon as they came out. They quickly approved the budget to increase the army to suppress the rebels everywhere, and successively closed dozens of newspapers.

This caused strong dissatisfaction from the Order Party. The two sides eventually broke out in a gunfight on the street, with dozens of casualties on each side.

Louis Napoleon's handling method was also very interesting. He did not take this opportunity to attack the Order Party that opposed him, but chose to block the news and ordered the arrest of any civilians who dared to discuss this matter in public.

For a time, the people of Paris were panicked, and the Order Party and the Republicans were even more discredited.

Some people wanted to clarify all this, but no one believed it at all. Some smart people have sensed that the crisis is approaching, and Tocqueville is one of them.

However, he did not choose to leave, not only because of his duty, but also because he wanted to see where the country would eventually go.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the decline of the Austrian Empire will give France a chance to breathe. I hope the Spanish can hold the Austrians back for a while.

As for the victories that the Austrians won on the Spanish battlefield, it is not important. If winning a few battles could really solve the Spanish problem, then France would have unified Europe long ago.

Downing Street, London.

The British also think so. If money can really solve all problems, then they don’t need to fight anymore.

“Gentlemen, it is obvious that the Austrians are a group of conceited and ignorant fools. They naively think that they can solve the Spanish problem with money. How can those damn Irish bastards rebel?”

When the young official said this, his chin deliberately raised to Palmerston in the corner. The two looked at each other, and the former was the first to withdraw his gaze and said.

"I'm not talking about you, Lord Palmerston. You know, the Irish have always been a headache. They have wasted so much money in the UK and destroyed the workhouses we built.

What a bunch of greedy barbarians! Why were they born in civilized Britain?"

The young official's words were cadenced and emotional, but what he didn't know was that Palmerston had walked behind him.

The young official also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and he turned around and saw Palmerston looking at him coldly.

"What are you going to do?"

Palmerston didn't say much nonsense, and directly smashed a bottle on the young official's head. With a sound of glass breaking, the young official's head was already bleeding.

"Wow!" With a scream, the young official looked at Palmerston who picked up the bottle again in disbelief. The former was well-educated and just tried to block with his hands, but he obviously had never fought.

The latter was obviously an old rogue, skilled in his methods, good at using tools, and picking the most painful spots.

When the guards arrived, the young official's face was no longer human. Palmerston took a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands, and then threw it aside casually.

"Palmerston! You've gone too far!"

Prime Minister Earl Derby shouted angrily.

Palmerston looked completely fearless and said jokingly.

"Why don't you help him?"

"Do you still have the law in your eyes?"

"The law is not set for us, why should I care about it!"

The Minister of Justice was so angry that his beard was trembling, and he shouted to the guards.

"Lock him up!"

However, the two guards were a little embarrassed. They didn't want to be like the young MP, so they could only walk up to Palmerston and bow and say.

"Lord Palmerston, I'm sorry for your injustice."

"No, I know how to go, just follow me."

Palmerston left Whitehall in such a swagger, which made everyone's good mood suddenly half less. Because what Palmerston said was true, he would not be punished, and at most he would pay some fines in a few days and then he could come out and continue to swagger.

As for the young official, his political career was ruined. It was bad luck for a person with no background to meet such a rogue.

However, the unlucky congressman was soon forgotten. After all, the annoying Palmerston had angered the Earl of Derby, and he would definitely suffer the consequences.

After all, Palmerston at this time was far from the achievements and influence he had in history. Even if the Earl of Derby was weak, he was still the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

In addition, the Austrian Empire's defeat in Spain was definitely good news for Britain.

If Austria really gained a foothold in Spain, then Britain would have to provide assistance to Spain. Given Isabella II's character, she would probably refuse to pay the bill.

No one likes to make a loss, and the British Empire is no exception. Moreover, the economic situation in Britain at this time was definitely not good.

"Prime Minister, perhaps we can provide a loan to the Austrians. This way they can fight the Spaniards for a while longer."
