"A joint action? No, no, no! Ambassador Richard!" Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and said to Richard Metternich, "If the French Empire acts together with the Austrian Empire, how would the Kingdom of Britain perceive it!
Would they think that our two countries have conducted some covert deal and joined hands to completely annex the Apennine Peninsula!"
"Your Majesty, you mean to say!" Richard Metternich inquired of Jerome Bonaparte.
"It would be best for our two countries to act separately! If necessary, we might even create some antagonism!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Richard Metternich.
"Act separately? Create antagonism?" Although Richard Metternich understood every French word, when put together, he couldn't quite grasp what Jerome Bonaparte meant.
"I mean the Austrian Empire can act alone against the Sardinian Kingdom, as long as the Austrian Empire does not aim to annex the Sardinian Kingdom!" Jerome Bonaparte said straightforwardly to Richard Metternich.
