The year is 1852; Napoleon III has seized power in the 2nd French Republic, and work is underway to proclaim a 2nd Empire.

You are Napoleon III's closest advisor; any advice you give him will be taken on board, whether it relates to politics, diplomacy, economy, whatever.

Napoleon III will still die in 1873, there is no avoiding this. What do you do not only to ensure his Empire lasts, but to ensure that France retains its position as a major power?

Literally just don't be an autist geopolitically. Victoria loved Nappy III, the Italians ended up loving him, he could have continued reforming into a consitutional Empire. He was a retard with diplomacy but very talented at governance, and if he hadn't been lead down various retarded moves on the world stage the Bonapartes would probably still be in power.

Of all the conflicts he engaged in you want him to not go into the one that's considered a major success?

Nappy III as Emperor of a stable and liberal French Empire would have been the best outcome for everyone.

No retarded adventures in Mexico or sabre rattling faggotry against the Germans-Nappy III was capable and had a lot of capable men under his command. The dream....

the franco-turk alliance was dead since Napoleon 1 by then. it was a cope to get closer to England, who in turn wanted Russia out of the Mediterranean.
