Make France Great Again - Chapter 676

“If we don’t launch an attack, but assume a posture of peace talks, then Alexander II will definitely be dragged here by us! At that time, St. Petersburg will be faced with a leaderless situation, which will not be more beneficial to us!”

Jerome Bonaparte said to Marshal Pelissier with a hint of excitement.

“Your Majesty, your plan is really perfect…” Marshal Perlisier first praised Jerome Bonaparte, and then he hesitated in replying to Jerome Bonaparte: “but…”

“But what?” Jerome Bonaparte encouraged Perissier: “You can say anything! There is nothing you can’t say! The army is no one’s word!”

Perlisier politely told Jerome Bonaparte that if the changes in St. Petersburg led to rapid peace talks in the Russian Empire, then they would have no war to fight.

“No!” Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and responded to Pelissier: “The troops of the Russian Empire on the southern front must stay here forever, otherwise the rebels in St. Petersburg are likely to Destroyed by them immediately!

Only when the rebels are at war with them will we be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman!

So don’t worry about no wars, and even if our war in Crimea is over, it doesn’t mean our army can relax completely! There are still many places waiting for us to conquer! “

Marshal Perlisier said excitedly that he would follow in the footsteps of Jerome Bonaparte to the death.

In the next few days, Jerome Bonaparte ordered his troops to step up training, creating a feeling that the war was about to start, forcing Alexander II to also step up preparations for the war, while Jerome Bonaparte was on the other hand. Ba also ordered his men to secretly release some of the officers captured at Inkerman Mountain, and told them that he did not want the relationship between the French Empire and the Russian Empire to continue to be deadlocked. The time for the peace talks was set by Alexander II.

The Russian officer who was secretly released by Jerome Bonaparte to meet Bakhchisarai at night reported the news to the Bakhchisarai Russian Command as soon as he returned.

The Russian command also reported the situation to Alexander II as soon as possible. Alexander II, who was struggling with where to stay, showed a surprised expression on his face when he heard that Jerome Bonaparte wanted peace talks. .

At this time, he did not understand what Jerome Bonaparte was doing.

It is clear that the Sevastopol coalition is still at an absolute advantage, while the Russian army is at a disadvantage.

Now, instead, the French army has once again proposed peace talks.

So, Crown Prince Alexander once again convened Grand Duke Constantine, Marshal Jomini, Commander Gorchakov and Duke Orlov to discuss countermeasures together in the old palace of Bakhchisaray.

As soon as the meeting began, Crown Prince Alexander asked, “Everyone, how much sincerity do you think the French Empire has in this peace talks?”

Just as Crown Prince Alexander threw the topic out, Archduke Constantine couldn’t wait to say to Crown Prince Alexander: “His Royal Highness, I don’t think there is much sincerity in the peace talks between the French Empire. Their purpose is probably just to delay time!”

“Constantine, why do you think France is procrastinating?” Alexander II asked Archduke Constantine again, “Judging from the current situation, we need more time than France!”

“Because…because…” Archduke Constantine was speechless, knowing that his view was not logically valid.

“There is something strange about the sudden peace talks in the French Empire this time!” Marshal Jomini immediately opened his mouth to relieve the siege of Archduke Constantine: “But I think even if he does have a conspiracy, we should try to communicate!”

“I agree with Marshal Jomini’s opinion!” Gorchakovs nodded and said, “Even if the peace talks fail, there will be no loss to us. On the contrary, we can take advantage of the peace talks to replenish our troops and prepare for the next attack. “

The failure of both the Inkerman Mountains and the Joyana River caused the Russian army to lose about 50,000 to 60,000 troops. Coupled with the non-combat attrition caused by the cold current and the unsmooth logistics supply, the current Russian army losses have reached It cost about 70,000 people (plus about 130,000 troops lost by Menshkov before Russia), and now the Russian army’s army on the Crimean peninsula is almost equal to the coalition forces.

In the case of a huge difference in strength, it is still impossible to level the coalition, how dare you hope to win the battle when the difference in strength is not large.

After listening to the speeches of Commander Gorchakov and Marshal Jomini, Alexander II turned to ask Count Orlov next to him: “Mr. Orlov, what do you think?”

“His Royal Highness, the success of the peace talks does not depend on the Crimea Peninsula, but on St. Petersburg and the Tuinlery Palace!” Count Orlov reminded.

Everyone present immediately reacted, and now the person in charge of the house is not as good as Crown Prince Alexander, but Emperor Nicholas I.

If Nicholas I was unwilling to agree to the conditions put forward by France, even if they broke the sky, it would have no effect.

“If the conditions of the French emperor are really suitable, I will write to my father and ask them to send envoys to come and negotiate!” Crown Prince Alexander said firmly to everyone present: “I believe that my father does not want to see his loyal Russian army. Die in Crimea!”

After the meeting, Alexander II personally wrote a letter to Jerome Bonaparte. In the letter, Crown Prince Alexander praised Jerome Bonaparte’s behavior in the peace talks, and emphasized that the Russian Empire and the French Empire were closely related. A pointless one.

If France and Russia are allowed to lose in the Crimea peninsula, Britain will gain in the end.

Because there is no substantial conflict of interest between France and Russia, but there is a great conflict of interest between Russia and Britain.

Britain will only strike hard against the Russian Empire after seeing the threat posed to them by the Russian Empire.

In order to defend India, Britain desperately wanted to dismember the Russian Empire.

There is nothing to gain from overthrowing the Russian Empire, other than the benefit of the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Did the French army say that the purpose of the British War was to consolidate the hegemony of the British kingdom?

…

After finishing the letter, Crown Prince Alexander handed it over to Ivanov Gorchakov and ordered him to deliver the letter to the Kingdom of Britain.

Ivanov Gorchakov, who received the letter, immediately assured Crown Prince Alexander that he would deliver the letter safely to the French Expeditionary Forces Command.

That night, Ivanov Gorchakov took advantage of the darkness to leave Bakhchisaray, and then walked towards the southwest. Soon he encountered the army stationed near the Vorontsov trail.

This time, the army stationed on the Vorontsov trail did not let Ivanov Gorchakov come up, but let him wait for a while.

After a while, the commander of the second division, General Bokes, appeared in front of Ivanov Gorchakov.

“General, we meet again!” Ivanov Gorchakov politely addressed General Bokes.

“You are…” After thinking for a moment, General Bokes responded to Ivanov Gorchakov: “I remember! You were in that team last time!”

“I didn’t expect you to remember me, General Bosky!” Ivanov Gorchakov responded to Bosky with a look of honor.

“Didn’t your crown prince follow you this time?” Bosque asked curiously?

Ivanov Gorchakov shook his head and replied to General Boske: “The crown prince will not arrive in Sevastopol until the peace talks are really settled!”

“Then what is the purpose of your coming here?” General Boskai asked Ivanov Gorchakov.

“After receiving the olive branch of peace from His Majesty your Emperor, His Royal Highness immediately wrote a letter to His Majesty Emperor Jerome Bonaparte and ordered me to deliver the letter safely to Sevastopol!” Yin Wan Nov Gorchakov took the packed letter from his pocket.

With the help of kerosene light, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Boskai clearly saw the signature on the letterhead: “Yes, it is indeed a letter from Crown Prince Alexander!”

Then General Boske ordered Ivanov Gorchakov to be safely delivered to Sevastopol.

When Ivanov Gorchakov arrived in Sevastopol, it was already 1 am.

He had just entered the headquarters of the expeditionary force before he could sit down and rest for a while, when he was taken in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was reading a telegram. The appearance of Ivanov Gorchakov made Jerome Bonaparte put down the telegram in his hand, put his hands together and smiled and said: ” sit down!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Ivanov Gorchakov hurriedly bowed his luggage to Jerome Bonaparte, and then handed the letter of Alexander II to Jerome Bonaparte, “Your Majesty, this is It was our Crown Prince who asked me to bring you the letter!”

“Good work!” Jerome Bonaparte said to Ivanov Gorchakov after taking the telegram.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte opened the envelope to check the letter from Alexander II.

Ivanov Gorchakov, who was sitting opposite Jerome Bonaparte, glanced at Jerome Bonaparte’s telegram subconsciously.

On the telegram, Ivanov Gorchakov saw a piece of terrible news.
