Chapter 99: Prusso-Russian Conflict

Metternich replied helplessly, "Your Highness, the French government's efficiency has always been low, and at this time they are still discussing in Parliament!"

He was also impressed by the French efficiency. Both sides had signed a treaty, with all conditions agreed upon in advance, yet when it came time to act, they still managed to drop the ball.

"How can the French suddenly lose interest in the Italian Area? Do they now wish to renege?" Prime Minister Felix asked doubtfully.

Metternich replied with a wry smile, "No, the French government does not intend to renege. The current debate is about how many troops to deploy, who should command them, and which unit should be sent."

It was kind of ridiculous to think about it. Such trivial matters still required a decision from Parliament. By the time they would come to a decision, Austria might have already dealt with the Kingdom of Sardinia.
