Make France Great Again

"The balance of power you speak of is letting France obtain the Rhine Land?" Carl Nesselrode said to Felix Schwarzenberg.

"It's just a corner of Saar!" Felix Schwarzenberg responded to Carl Nesselrode.

"You're fueling France's ambitions this way!" Carl Nesselrode "accused" Felix Schwarzenberg.

"Ambition? Count Karl, every nation has ambitions, should we forgo benefits just to prevent the ambitions of a few? The situation Prince Metternich painstakingly managed has failed in over thirty years; long-term repression is never the solution!" Felix Schwarzenberg argued slyly.

"Then what do you want to do?" Carl Nesselrode wanted to hear the young politician's view.

"For a long time, the diplomacy of our European countries hasn't depended on us, but on Britain! Behind every failure is Britain's shadow, so I hope to remember France's strength to eliminate Britain! Then, Russia, Austria, and France unite together to set the rules! As long as our three countries unite, the remaining countries are no match for us!"

Schwarzenberg ambitiously described to Carl Nesselrode.

"Duke Felix, in the blueprint you described, it seems I don't see the position of the Russian Empire! Are you intending to exclude the Russian Empire from the system?" Carl Nesselrode squinted, showing a cunning expression to Felix Schwarzenberg.

In Felix Schwarzenberg's heart, there was indeed this intention; the threat of the Russian Empire to the Habsburgs was indeed too great.

However, for now, he still needed the Russian Empire and certainly wouldn't provoke dislike from the Russian Empire.

"How could that be!" Schwarzenberg shook his head and responded to Carl Nesselrode.

"Then the Austrian Empire gets leadership over Germany, the French Republic receives some compensation in the Rhine Land, the Russian Empire gains Constantinople, how about that?" Carl Nesselrode squinted and proposed his partition plan.

"Mr. Count, forgive me for saying this, but that's really too unfair to our country! Your country already has the Danube Duchy!" Schwarzenberg protested against Carl Nesselrode's "unfairness."

"What would be considered fair then?" Carl Nesselrode asked Schwarzenberg.

"Unless the Russian Empire supports the Austrian Empire's claim over its former territory Graz County!" Schwarzenberg stated to Carl Nesselrode.

"This..." Carl Nesselrode hesitated, unsure whether he should agree to Felix Schwarzenberg.

"If the Russian Empire disagrees with Austria's proposal, then Austria may find it difficult to challenge the Russian Empire!" Schwarzenberg didn't give an inch.

The standoff between the two did not last long, ultimately ending with Carl Nesselrode conceding.

The Russian Empire will support the Austrian Empire's request for Graz County, provided the Austrian Empire can defeat the Kingdom of Prussia.

After the Austrian Empire's war against the Kingdom of Prussia, it must fully guarantee the supply of the Russian Imperial Army in the Danube River Region.

After exchanging their respective terms, both parties acted with their own ulterior motives.
