On the other hand, Jérôme Bonaparte finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the reply to Valet's telegram. He really didn't expect that one of his articles would have such a big impact, let alone some people in London.
The guy actually remembered his signature when he published an article in London in 1848!
"It seems that from now on, the name Joseph Stalin can no longer be used!" Jerome Bonaparte whispered to himself: "How about...change the pen name to Yinrich (Lenin)"
After thinking for a moment, Jérôme Bonaparte finally rejected his idea. After all, anyone who pays a little attention to his writing style can notice it, and changing his pen name will not help at all.
"Forget it! I'd better think about the next Paris Peace Conference!" Jérôme Bonaparte patted his cheek gently and brought his divergent thoughts back together.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Jérôme Bonaparte straightened his posture and responded to the door: "Please come in!"
The door opened slowly, and Foreign Minister Walevsky appeared in Jerome Bonaparte's room, "Walaevsky! You came just in time! I was just about to ask you how you prepared for the meeting?"
"
"Your Majesty, the venue is completely ready! Foreign ministers from various countries are also arriving one after another!" Walevsky immediately replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
"I remember that the Russian side hasn't come yet!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Walevsky.
"Your Majesty, I am about to report to you on the situation of the Foreign Minister of the Russian Empire!" Walevsky said to Jerome Bonaparte with a wry smile.
Looking at Walevsky in front of him, Jerome Bonaparte immediately realized Walevsky's predicament. With a knowing smile on his lips, he asked: "Are there two foreign ministers here?"
There was a look of astonishment on Walevsky's face, and then he nodded and said: "Yes! Your Majesty, which foreign minister should we receive now as the Russian representative for this meeting!"
There are now two governments in the Russian Empire, one is the New Russian Imperial Government with St. Petersburg as its core, and the other is the Orthodox Russian Imperial Government with Odessa as its core.
In the past few months, the two governments have continuously sent batches of Slavic livestock to the battlefield. In just four months, a total of 100,000 people have been killed between the new government and the orthodox government.
Soldiers suffered casualties, and nearly 10,000 rural nobles and millions of serfs harmed each other locally.
Either the serf groups led by rural nobles carried out Tatar-style massacres on those who dared to resist, or the commissioners from St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg is a rare progressive group in Russia, all of which gave birth to a large number of middle class people with advanced ideas.
Under the orders of Golitsyn, a small group of regular troops arrived in the countryside in the form of special commissioners and led this group of rural National Guards who dared to resist to suppress the rural nobles.
If the two sides continue to fight, the casualties caused may far exceed the casualties in Crimea.
At least during the Crimean War, Jérôme Bonaparte and Albert did not turn the Russian Empire into the state of chaos it is now.
When Jérôme Bonaparte heard the news about the Russian Empire, he once again lamented that the only one who could let go and massacre Russians was another Russian.
Even the British and French armies were unable to massacre everywhere.
After fighting for several months, the two sides are still in a deadlock, and the two sides are currently fighting hard to grab Moscow.
"Is there any need to ask?" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and said to Walevsky: "Of course we will receive it together!"
"Both together!" Walevsky's expression paused slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he tactfully said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, will this cause some unnecessary misunderstandings?
"
"Unnecessary misunderstanding?" Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds and asked Walevsky: "What kind of misunderstanding do you think it will cause?"
"Your Majesty, the government formed by Prince Golitsyn does not have legitimacy!" Wallevsky once again said euphemistically to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Walevsky!" Jerome Bonaparte stopped smiling and said to Walevsky with a serious expression: "What kind of government do you think has legitimacy? The imperial government established by my uncle and me
Is there legitimacy? Does the Orleans government established by the previous king Louis Philippe have legitimacy?"
"Your Majesty, the citizens of France support you as the emperor of the empire! Of course you have irrefutable legitimacy!" Walevsky replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Yes! It is true that the citizens of France supported me and made me the emperor of the empire, but if you want to talk about legitimacy, that is really bullshit!" Jérôme Bonaparte said unceremoniously, "In the orthodox circles,
In the eyes of the crowd, I am just a trespasser with a noble bloodline!
The so-called legitimacy is only based on the gun in our hands, and the universal suffrage system is just a fig leaf for the outside world!"
Walevsky looked at Jerome Bonaparte with an embarrassed look. As a core member of the Second Empire, he naturally knew the origin of legitimacy, but he did not dare to be like Jerome Bonaparte.
"Cover" reveals the essence.
In terms of "frankness", my "cousin" is more frank than his father.
When Walevsky was very young, he once heard his mother say that when his father put on the crown, he declared that "anyone other than him will definitely be punished by God if he puts on the crown."
”.
"Your Majesty, let's get back to the topic!" Walevsky, who was unwilling to involve France on the issue of legality, quickly changed the subject.
"Okay! Walevsky, since you said that Duke Golitsyn's government has no legitimacy, then I would like to ask if there is a tsar in the government formed by Golitsyn!" Jerome Bonaparte continued to ask Walevsky
Ji asked.
"Yes!" Walevsky responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Does the Tsar have legitimacy?" Jérôme Bonaparte continued to ask.
"Yes!" Walevsky nodded again.
Although Duke Golitsyn's tsar is an 11-year-old child, he does have the legitimacy to inherit the position of tsar.
However, the tsarist legitimacy of Prince Golitsyn's government did not come from God, but from the National Assembly.
"That's enough!" Jerome Bonaparte clapped his hands and replied to Walevsky, "What reason do we have to deny a monarchy country from entering the conference? And it is the key country of this conference.
one!"
"I know!" Walevsky nodded and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"By the way! Who is coming from Duke Golitsyn's government this time?" Jerome Bonaparte asked curiously.
"Neserrodie!" Walevsky replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
Jerome Bonaparte showed a hint of surprise when he heard the name. He had never thought that Golitsyn would send Neserrodie as a negotiator.
"How could it be him!" Jerome Bonaparte murmured in a low voice. He really couldn't understand why Duke Golitsyn would choose him to serve as the envoy. Wasn't he afraid that Neserrodie would collude with the orthodox government?
The Golitsyn government could no longer find suitable diplomatic talents, so it brought this old guy back.
"Your Majesty, Minister Neserrodie is really..." Walevsky smiled bitterly, and then told Jerome Bonaparte about Minister Neserrodie.
Because Neserrodie returned prematurely after the negotiations, he was immediately controlled by Prince Golitsyn's people after arriving in Moscow, and then escorted to St. Petersburg.
Later, Duke Golitsyn thought that he was still a useful person, so he did not kill him and his family, but continued to reuse him and his family.
As a result, the lives of Neserrodie's family were in the hands of Duke Golitsyn, and he had to sacrifice his life for Duke Golitsyn.
"Poor Nesserrodie!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a gloating expression on his face, and then asked, "If I guessed correctly, the negotiator on Alexander's side should be Gore.
Ambassador Chakov!"
"Your Majesty, you are absolutely right!" Walevsky nodded to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Okay, okay!" Jerome Bonaparte laughed heartily twice, then clapped his hands and replied to Walevsky: "Isn't it true that enemies never get together? Neserrodie and Gorcha
These two guys, Cove, are going to start fighting with each other again!"
I think it was Neserrodie who sent Gorchakov away from the center of power for more than ten years, which directly caused Gorchakov to waste more than ten years in the superior aristocratic status. This hatred is simply great.
went.
If Alexander II can successfully succeed to the throne, then the hatred between Neserrodie and Gorchakov will end with the end of Neserrodie's politics.
After all, as a victor, Ambassador Gorchakov must have an inclusive attitude.
This kind of tolerance is not a deliberate show of kindness, but a condescending tolerance, which is more uncomfortable than a direct insult.
However, the situation is very different now. Since Neserrodie was re-employed by Prince Golitsyn's government, Ambassador Gorchakov and Neserrodie seemed to have become enemies again.
Whether they both want it or not, there will definitely be a big battle.
"Okay! Let's just wait and see the show!" Jerome Bonaparte still had a joking expression on his face.
…
The time finally came to the last day when the peace conference officially started, and basically all the foreign ministers were present.
At the invitation of Jérôme Bonaparte, they set out from the Place de la Concorde to attend the welcome ceremony he specially organized for the Foreign Minister.
