Joseph smiled slightly, "I haven't seen Count Kaunitz for a long time. Oh, how is he lately?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Count Moses hesitated for a moment, "Yes, he is still in fairly good condition."
In fact, Kaunitz was already a dying candle in the wind, liable to pass at any moment.
"That's good." Joseph didn't expose the lie, nodding, "If this were a private conversation, please tell him not to worry, the war will soon be over."
Moses' face showed a hint of joy, and he continued, "Then, regarding the armistice?"
Joseph's expression became kind, "Oh, Archbishop Talleyrand has not yet submitted the relevant proposal. You see, after all, Napoleon's army has not shown any intention of withdrawing."
Moses' expression froze immediately, "But..."
Joseph waved his hand with a smile, "Hmm, I will try my best to persuade the Cabinet to formulate relatively relaxed armistice conditions."
