"But what? If there are difficulties, you can speak up; there's nothing one cannot express!"
Jerome Bonaparte encouraged Achille Fuld to express his concerns so that they could reach a consensus more quickly.
After hesitating for a moment, Achille Fuld asked Minister of Foreign Affairs De Luyis, "Mr. Luyis, how long do we need to reach a consensus with the Kingdom of Britain?"
"At least half a month!" Luyis immediately replied to Achille Fuld, then explained to Jerome Bonaparte and Achille Fuld, "I once discussed with Minister Palmerston. Palmerston told me that his colleagues have not been prepared to go to war with the Russian Empire. Hastily signing an alliance with France would not only provoke opposition from the Cabinet Minister but might also agitate the Russian Empire."
