"However, I personally still respect the Austrian Empire's rights on the Apennine Peninsula, because Venice and Lombardy are the internal affairs of the Austrian Empire, and France has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of another country!"
Jerome Bonaparte said calmly to William I, then added, "Unless there are major changes on the Apennine Peninsula, only then will the French Empire consider the issues there."
Such a seemingly ordinary latter statement was a clear signal to Regent William's ears, that is, Jerome Bonaparte himself was somewhat displeased with the Austrian Empire's issues in Italy.
Though this dissatisfaction cannot draw the French Empire towards the Kingdom of Prussia, it can indeed open a diplomatic breakthrough for the Kingdom of Prussia.
If the Kingdom of Prussia can help the French Empire "find" this breakthrough, then there will certainly be conflicts between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire.
