Ambassador Gorchakov, who received Jérôme Bonaparte's military support for the Caucasus, had a long-lost smile on his face. This was Ambassador Gorchakov's only diplomatic victory.
"Ambassador Gorchakov, congratulations! You have ushered in a generation of peace for the Russian Empire!" Minister Valevsky said to Ambassador Gorchakov.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was standing aside, had a slight embarrassment on his face. He decided whether Valewski's words were a bit of a flag in this situation.
The Kingdom of Britain, which said these words at that time, soon started the Second World War.
Although it is said that the Russian Empire will not do anything in a short time, he believes that the Russian Empire will stand up again sooner or later.
Maybe, France will face another difficult war by then.
However, it will definitely not take less than twenty years for the Russian Empire to stand up again.
Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte was not particularly worried about the hatred of the Russian Empire
"Minister Valevsky!" Ambassador Gorchakov immediately showed a wry smile, "Now I am just a traitor! How wonderful it would be if there was no such war!"
"Ambassador Gorchakov, we can't turn back time!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Gorchakov, "Although you had no way to stop the war before it started, you made contributions to the end of the war.
own contribution!
Furthermore, the territories ceded by your country are not your core territories! Those are territories you obtained through plunder and plunder. When you choose to annex them, you should be able to think that you will be forced to give them up one day!"
"Your Majesty! If there is no other way, I don't think any country is willing to give up its territory! Didn't your current Alsace-Lorraine also get it from the Holy Roman Empire?" Ambassador Gorchakov said to
Jerome Bonaparte replied.
"Alsace-Lorraine has become a sacred and inseparable part of France!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Ambassador Gorchakov solemnly: "If you don't believe it, go to these two territories now and ask about it.
, the French people in the territory! Are they willing to join France or Germany? I think more than 90% of the people are not willing to separate from France!
And how many people in the Grand Duchy of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Finland, and Crimea under your rule are willing to stay in Russia!"
Although Jérôme Bonaparte used the will of the people as a cover-up, his words still exposed his double standards.
In the final analysis, the reason why France was able to occupy Alsace and Lorraine was simply to rely on its own strength to dominate Germany.
"I sincerely hope that the French Empire will not end up in a situation like ours!" Ambassador Gorchakov responded sincerely to Jerome Bonaparte.
"You don't need to worry about this!" Jérôme Bonaparte said lightly, "The French Empire will not shovel everything into its own bowl like the Russian Empire. I prefer to cooperate with other countries.
Win-win!”
Ambassador Gorchakov understood that the premise of "win-win cooperation" mentioned by Jérôme Bonaparte is that the win-win countries must be on the side of France.
"I look forward to win-win cooperation between the Russian Empire and the French Empire in maintaining peace in Europe!" Ambassador Gorchakov euphemistically expressed their intention to move closer to France.
"I also look forward to the Russian Empire joining the ranks of Europe's win-win after the civil war!" Jerome Bonaparte replied with a smile.
After the negotiations, Ambassador Gorchakov tentatively asked Jerome Bonaparte if he was willing to help them fight the war in the form of volunteers. They could pay the volunteers 20% higher wages than France.
Faced with Ambassador Gorchakov's plan to draw down the French Empire by borrowing debt and troops, Jérôme Bonaparte ruthlessly rejected them.
For France, there is no better deal than neutrality.
Both Duke Golitsyn and Alexander II had to deal with France.
Maybe France can still make a profit from the civil war.
"Your Majesty, our troops will surrender to you one after another in the next few days! I hope you can inform all the troops about the surrender. I am afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings!" Gore left Bakhchisaray.
Ambassador Chakov finally said something to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Don't worry!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and replied to Gorchakov: "I will notify the armies of the other three countries as soon as possible!"
…
Looking at Ambassador Gorchakov's slightly stooped back in the sunset, Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh: "Oh! It's finally over! Fortunately we did not lose this war!"
Minister Walewski, standing next to Jerome Bonaparte, hurriedly flattered Jerome Bonaparte and said that this Crimean attack was personally deployed and commanded by Jerome Bonaparte.
The war was comparable to most battles in the First Empire.
From the moment Gorchakov signed the agreement, all of Europe would lie at the feet of France.
"Far from it!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and humbly said to Minister Valewski: "Emperor Napoleon's foreign wars relied on seven points military and three points politics, while the Crimean War relied on
It is seven points political and three points military.
In the military aspect, I am far inferior to him, but in the political aspect, I am a little better than him.
Overall, I'm still far behind compared to my uncle!"
Faced with Jérôme Bonaparte's self-effacement, he could only respond with a few "uh-huh-huh-ah" responses.
Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte called Jerome Pater over and ordered him to bring Marshal Raglan of Sachs, Omar Pasha, Marshal Pelissier of the Guards Village, and Ma
Marshal Larmore called over.
"Yes!" Jerome Patterson responded quickly, and then quickly rode away.
After a while, Richard Metternich, the Austrian ambassador to France, appeared in Bakhchisaray.
"Your Majesty, congratulations!" Richard Metternich said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Mr. Richard, do you have the ability to predict the future!" Jérôme Bonaparte showed a little surprise on his face. He remembered that he did not reveal the time of the peace talks to Richard Metternich.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean?" Richard Metternich also looked at Jerome Bonaparte with a puzzled face.
"Then what are you congratulating for?" Jérôme Bonaparte also had doubts on his face.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at it!" Richard Metternich hurriedly handed the telegram to Jerome Bonaparte.
After reading the telegram, Jerome Bonaparte's face immediately showed an expression of joy. He quickly held Richard Metternich's hand and said excitedly: "I have a son! I have a son!"
"Your Majesty, congratulations!" Richard Metternich congratulated Jerome Bonaparte again. He understood that for a monarch of an empire, there is nothing more gratifying than obtaining a healthy heir.
A healthy heir means that a hundred years later, the empire will not fall into the hands of others; it means that the subjects of the empire have someone to loyal to, which can stabilize people's hearts!
Jerome Bonaparte, who had been excited for a while, finally calmed down. He let go of Richard Metternich's hand and said: "Mr. Richard, I also have a piece of news for you!
"
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Richard Metternich said to Jerome Bonaparte with great difficulty.
Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte told Richard Metternich about the surrender of the Russian Empire to them, and revealed part of the agreement to Richard Metternich.
Richard Metternich was excited when he heard that Jerome Bonaparte had won the protection rights of the Danube Principality for them, but he was slightly embarrassed when the Grand Duchy of Poland was liberated from the Russian Empire.
Russia was not the only one who annexed Poland. The Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia also participated in the partition.
If the new Grand Duchy of Poland relies on France to ask for help from them, it will be difficult for them to deal with it.
However, Jerome Bonaparte's next words dispelled Richard Metternich's concerns: "Don't worry! I will make the Grand Duchy of Poland give up its claim to territory from the Austrian Empire!"
"Thank you very much!" Richard Metternich responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
"However, I hope that your country can also give us certain support on certain issues!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Richard Metternich.
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Richard Metternich hurriedly said to Jerome Bonaparte.
"I need to find a support for the new Principality of Poland in the German region. What do you think of Archduke Maximilian?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Richard Metternich.
"Maximilian?" Richard Metternich's eyes widened. He couldn't believe his ears at this moment, "Which Maximilian are you talking about!"
"Of course he is Franz's biological brother!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Richard Metternich, "If he serves as the Grand Duke of Poland, I think he should be able to bring democracy to Polish citizens!
I just don’t know if Habsburg is willing to make him the Grand Duke of Poland!”
"I need to consult Vienna before I can give you an answer to this question!" Richard Metternich responded to Jerome Bonaparte, and then added again: "You just need to wait patiently for a while.
Got it!"
"Okay! I hope you can give us an answer as soon as possible!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then added, "If you are not willing, I will choose one of Saxony or Bavaria!"
