"It's okay to admit Louis XVIII's identity as king. Don't we admit Louis XVII, who was imprisoned by the Paris Revolutionary Government before?

But what does it mean to accept Louis XVIII's command?

Will the Anti-French Alliance give Louis XVIII to us for ‘protection’?”

Li Wei emphasized the word "protection".

Although Europe does not have the allusion of using the emperor to command the princes, the European monarchs still understand this principle, which is not something that is difficult for politicians to understand.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Paris Revolutionary Government or the anti-French alliance to hand over the King of France to the hands of Li Wei, the regent of the Kingdom of New France.

Doing so would be equivalent to making up for Li Wei’s orthodox shortcomings!

Politically, it is of great benefit to Levi.

To put it bluntly, orthodoxy is actually a question of whether others recognize it. In the Eastern world, orthodoxy often means the recognition of public opinion and the recognition of various princes, but in the land of Europe, orthodoxy is basically recognized by major countries in Western and Central Europe.

Therefore, although after the death of King Louis XVI of France, the capital and territory were always under the hands of the revolutionary government, the French nobles who were exiled abroad could still support one new king after another with the support of foreign forces.

For example, Louis XVII is Louis XVI's own son. According to the inheritance law here in Europe, even if the son was locked in a cell by the Paris Revolutionary Government, he was still praised as the new king by the French nobles who were exiled abroad.

Then Louis XVII died in prison...

Death was inexplicably done, and fools knew that they were killed by the Paris Revolutionary Government, even if the Paris Revolutionary Government did not recognize it!

You know, Louis XVII was only 9 years old when he died. The French revolutionary government shamelessly claimed that Louis XVII died of tuberculosis...

However, Louis XVI was killed, which did not have much impact on the French nobles who were exiled abroad. Now the French nobles who were exiled outside the United Nations have to support Louis XVIII.

This Louis XVIII was not a little brat, nor was it controlled by the Paris Revolutionary Government. He was Louis XVI's younger brother, a very mature politician.

If Louis XVIII did not come to the control of Levi, Levi would still have to accept the command of Louis XVIII. Louis XVIII had some means to make the Levi regime feel uncomfortable and even disunited!

"Sir, Louis XVIII was under the protection of the Austrians. He would not enter the French mainland until the anti-French alliance recovered Paris.

Let us accept Louis XVIII's absolute leadership, which is the condition proposed by the Anti-French Alliance."

"What?

Manid, are you sure you read it right?

Did the Anti-French Alliance win or lose?

Why did he make such a brainless request to me?

Does the Anti-French Alliance treat me as an idiot or are they all idiots!

A king in exile commanded my army remotely. Did the anti-French alliance be able to take me?!"

Manid looked at Levi with an incredible look and continued slowly: "Sir, the letter from the Anti-French Alliance also mentioned that if we reject their request, the Anti-French Alliance will impose a trade embargo on us in the future and will no longer recognize the legitimacy of the French Kingdom we established."

“Haha, I’m sure I’m going to be able to take it!

Do you really think I'm afraid of the anti-French alliance?

Those revolutionary madmen in Paris are not afraid of me, Li Wei, are I, who are afraid of these countries that have repeatedly suffered defeat on the battlefield?"

Li Wei smiled anxiously, his eyes cold.

"Will the London government impose a trade embargo on us?"

Levi is not worried about other countries in the anti-French alliance. The trade volume between the two sides is pitifully small. Nowadays, Levi’s most important trade target is the London government!

"Sir, the London government has not made any statement. It is likely that it will agree to this treaty. At that time, it is likely that it will really embargo on us. However, the capitalists in the UK have a lot of control. They may use this to increase prices on us and continue to trade with us in the name of smuggling.

They won't say 'no' to money.

In the UK, the London government will follow the agreement in the anti-French alliance, but the British capital community will not, and there is no obligation to follow the agreement of the anti-French alliance."

“It’s a price increase again!

The British have made so much money from us, but they even have to suck bones and suck marrow!

Damn it!”

After cursing for a few words, Levi calmly said: "Since it will not affect our deal with the British, then we will reject the anti-French alliance.

Tell the Anti-French Alliance that if we want us to acknowledge and accept the command of Louis XVIII, I will bring Louis XVIII to me, and I will kneel down to my king myself!"

Manid naturally did not believe that his boss would bow down to Louis XVIII. Although he did not understand the specific principle, Manid knew that once Louis XVIII was in the hands of Levi, Louis XVIII would soon be "tamed" by Levi.

Just like myself now, there is no reason for the admiration of Li Wei, just to simply dedicate all of my loyalty to Li Wei!

The talks between Levi and the anti-French alliance collapsed immediately.

Li Wei is unwilling to bow down and be a young man. The anti-French alliance always thinks that Li Wei is just a ‘brother’. It would be strange if the two sides can reach an agreement!

If it weren't for the common enemy of the Paris Revolutionary Government, both sides, perhaps Li Wei had already started a full-scale war with the anti-French alliance at this time.

This time, because the letter exchange was not reached, neither side deliberately promoted it, but the anti-French alliance deliberately revealed the news to the French nobles who were exiled abroad.

The French exiled nobles understood the decision of the anti-French alliance to prevent Louis XVI from returning to the area controlled by Levi.

Who told Li Wei to behave more and more like a dictator?

Louis XVIII came to Levi's hands. Not to mention the anti-French alliance, these French exiled nobles were not at ease!

Even Louis XVIII himself tended to let Levi hand over the army first and then enter France.

Therefore, Li Wei's refusal was not surprisingly a French exiled nobleman, and there was a new reason to criticize Li Wei.

Among the French exiled nobles, no one dares to say that Li Wei's rise was for the sake of the French royal family and the country.

Among the anti-French alliance and the French exiled nobles, Li Wei's reputation has been officially connected with words such as ambitious dictators, which is better than the reputation of the Paris Revolutionary Government.

What made the anti-French alliance and the Paris Revolutionary Government happy was that the two forces that they both looked down upon were fighting to the death in France.

There is no hope of reconciliation yet!
