Make France Great Again - Chapter 672

“Your Excellency Duke, don’t you know? Are the demands you made cost us a lot to fulfill?”

A displeased look appeared on Marcel Yeruger’s face. He doubted whether Duke Golitsyn really wanted to rebel against the tsar.

Not to mention anything else, just to contain the Russian army in Finland requires the cooperation of the Kingdom of Sweden.

The Kingdom of Sweden itself does not have the ability to fight against the Russian Empire, so they proposed to Britain and France early that if they want to stand on the front line against the Russian army, then Britain and France must provide guarantees for their safety , while also assuring them that the principality of Finland will be taken back from the Russian Empire after the war is over!

The conditions of the Kingdom of Sweden are simply the thugs used by the French Empire.

Not to mention Bessarabia’s containment of the Russian army, a condition that even made the Austrian Empire contribute.

The last time they asked the Austrian Empire to conduct a non-confrontational military exercise in the Principality of the Danube, they all relied on coercion (to march into Italy) and inducement (investment of hundreds of millions of francs).

This time, I want Austria to continue to impose on the Russian Empire, and the price I am afraid to pay is much more than the last time.

“Of course I know!

‘ Duke Golitsyn responded with a sullen expression.

“Then why do you think we will agree to your request?” Marcel Yerug asked Duke Golitsyn again.

“Half and half!” Duke Golitsyn replied, and then asked again: “Mr. Marcel, the reason why you are willing to meet with me is not to cause unrest in Russia!

Now that I have spoken my request, you can pretend that nothing has been heard! “

Marcel Yeruger pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said to Duke Golitsyn, “How sure are you?”

Duke Golitsyn said to Marcel Yale with five fingers in the depths: “If the French Empire can really fulfill the above requirements, I’m about 50-60% sure!”

“Only 50% sure?” Marcel Yeruger responded to Duke Golitsyn with a slight disappointment.

“Mr. Marcel, we are facing a tyrant who has mastered the fate of Russia for more than 20 years!” Duke Golitsyn continued to Marcel Yeruger: “It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren’t for him and If his army loses consecutive battles on the Crimean Peninsula, we probably don’t even have a 10% chance!”

Later, Duke Golitsyn assured Marcel Yeluger that if he was fortunate enough to overthrow the Russian Empire, he would withdraw all the troops from Poland, Finland, and even the Caucasus, allowing him to separate from Russia and establish a state.

Marcel Yeruger immediately asked Duke Golitsyn why he did this.

Duke Golitsyn said that the Russian Empire’s **** of Poland and Finland was unpopular, and instead of making them a burden on Russia’s finances, it would be better for them to be independent.

And France is also happy to see the independence of Poland from Russia!

Marcel Yeruger was silent for a moment, he did not deny Golitsyn’s words.

Afterwards, Marcel Yeruger told Duke Golitsyn that he had to ask the emperor in the Crimea Peninsula for instructions because he had made too many demands.

“Yes!” Duke Golitsyn nodded, and then reminded Marcel Yeruger: “Please tell me to reply as soon as possible! In a few days, I will be returning to Petersburg.”

“Don’t worry! I will give you an answer as soon as possible!” Marcel Yeruger responded to Duke Golitsyn.

Then, at the invitation of Duke Golitsyn, Marcel Yeruger, Herzen and Duke Golitsyn had another simple dinner.

During this period, Marcel Yeruger stalked and asked why Duke Golitsyn appeared here at this time.

Duke Golitsyn just smiled slightly at this, and then responded perfunctorily to Marcel Yeruger. He hoped to take one last look at the scenery of France before launching the coup d’état.

That night, an encrypted telegram was sent from the basement of the French National Intelligence Service and soon arrived at Jerome Bonaparte’s desk.

With the help of the light from the kerosene lamp, Jerome Bonaparte once again took out the cipher book from the drawer and translated the encrypted telegram content.

Because the content of the telegram was too long, it took Jerome Bonaparte nearly two hours to complete it.

After all the translations were completed, Jerome Bonaparte read it carefully again.

Jerome Bonaparte, who read Marcel Yeruger’s report, murmured, “Who is this Duke Golitsyn? There seems to be no such person in history! It’s Herzen. This guy is historically associated with the Land and Free Society!”

Since this did not happen in the history well known to Jerome Bonaparte, it was enough to prove that the coup d’état under the leadership of Duke Golitsyn had little chance of success at all.

Moreover, through the telegram sent by Marcel Yarug, Jerome Bonaparte discovered that the Duke of Golitsyn also did not understand the Russian Empire.

The Russian democracy he longs for, let alone the 19th century, does not even exist in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Even a country as democratic as the Soviet also needs to rely on the strength of the strongman.

Once the strongman is gone, then the whole of Russia will return to its original shape.

Not to mention the Russian Federation behind, excessive democracy will only lead to the boyarization of the entire country.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte can be sure that if Duke Golitsyn still holds on to his idealist thoughts, he will inevitably face the fate of going to the guillotine.

When someone as strong as Lenin seized power in Russia, he would inevitably centralize power. He needed the vanguard, the Cheka, the grain requisition team, as well as the Iron Father, Dzerzhinsky, the father of the Red Army, and Bukha. Forest…

However, for an overly idealist, these are not just another form of tsar.

Not to mention, the Loyalty Association in the hands of Duke Golitsyn was not even as good as the Mensheviks in 1914.

Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte subconsciously wanted to give up his cooperation with Duke Golitsyn.

After all, the defeat of Duke Golitsyn was a certainty.

Why should Jerome Bonaparte pay a price to support a loser?

He only needs to completely annihilate the Russian imperial army in the Crimea peninsula, and the Russian Empire will certainly conduct peace talks with him.

Do I… really need to do this? Is it really good for France to create a temporarily divided Russian Empire?

Jerome Bonaparte began to silently deduce the situation in which the Russian Empire would withdraw from the stage.

If Duke Golitsyn could really take St. Petersburg, then he could, like Lenin later, rely on St. Petersburg’s industry to fight against the royalists outside St. Petersburg.

You know, the Russian Empire in 1854 was far less industrialized than it was in 1915, and almost all of the regions except St. Petersburg were agricultural areas.

This also means that as long as Duke Golitsyn completely occupied St. Petersburg, then he will be able to fight for a long time with the royalist army except St. Petersburg.

Even if Duke Golitsyn is finally defeated, St. Petersburg will lose its only industrial city due to this struggle.

At that time, the Russian Empire under the leadership of Alexander II will only be weaker than at the same time in history, and it will also be more dependent on the capital of the French Empire.

By that time, Jerome Bonaparte had laid out calmly in the German region, and gradually lured the Kingdom of Prussia into the trap he set.

Of course, in the short run, the destruction of the Russian Empire would have done little for France itself, other than to help Britain relieve the Indian threat.

And Palmerston himself is also a madman who wants to dismember the Russian Empire.

In the long run, however, the decline of the Russian Empire would benefit France even more.

After all, Jerome Bonaparte has always carried the dream of breaking Prussia and rebuilding the League of Legends.

Among the external forces preventing him from smashing the German region, the threat of the Russian Empire is obviously the biggest one. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Having figured this out, Jerome Bonaparte decided to grit his teeth and help Duke Golitsyn, even though the price paid by France might not be proportional to the reward.

If he misses this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, then he will definitely regret why he didn’t do it in the first place.

So, Jerome Bonaparte sent another encrypted telegram to Marcel Yeruger.

Jerome Bonaparte told Marcel Yeruger that he agreed to all the conditions proposed by Duke Golitsyn.

Regarding foreign affairs, Marcel Yaluger can have a detailed talk with Foreign Minister Valevsky.

…

After the telegram was sent to the National Intelligence Service at 2 a.m., the telegraph operator delivered the telegram to Marcel Yarug’s room as soon as possible.

After reading the telegram, Marcel Yeruger was surprised by Emperor Jerome Bonaparte’s decisiveness. He thought that the emperor would need to think for a while before replying to him, but he did not expect to agree with Duke Golitsyn so quickly. Require.

Early the next morning, a carriage set out from the gate of the National Intelligence Agency, and soon came to the Orsay Pier all the way south.

Marcel Yaruger, who entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, went straight to the door of the minister’s office and knocked on the door.

“Come in!” Minister Warevsky’s voice came from the room?

Marcel Yeruger pushed open the door and entered the room, and said to Wallevsky, who was still working: “Minister Wallevsky, I have something I want to talk to you about! I wonder if you have time now? “
