Make France Great Again - Chapter 678
Unfortunately, the truth is not what Jerome Bonaparte thought. Even Russia, which has suffered many defeats, still showed their unique “rebelliousness” in front of Jerome Bonaparte.
“Your Majesty, please be blunt! The four conditions you put forward are too harsh for us!” Ivanov Gorchakov euphemistically expressed himself to Jerome Bonaparte of dissatisfaction.
“What?” Jerome Bonaparte showed a surprised expression on his face, as if he could not believe that this sentence came from the mouth of Ivanov Gorchakov.
“Your Majesty, I think your conditions are too harsh for the Russian Empire!” Ivanov Gorchakov repeated what he just said.
“Major Yinvanov!” Jerome Bonaparte showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his voice became cold: “What do you think is not harsh! Do you Russia still want to continue to invade Turkey? If so In this case, then I don’t think the two of us need to talk!
Anyway, we’ve wasted almost half a year in this ghost place, and I don’t mind wasting another half a year!
I can assure you that after half a year, you will definitely regret it! “
Seeing that Jerome Bonaparte was about to turn his face, Ivanov Gorchakov immediately panicked, and he hurriedly comforted Jerome Bonaparte and said, “Your Majesty, I didn’t mean that…just now Personal opinion!”
“Humph!” Jerome Bonaparte snorted coldly, with a disdainful expression on his face.
If it weren’t for the strategic deception of the Russian army in the Crimean peninsula, he would have ordered this guy who was too big to be thrown out of Sevastopol.
This condition was the condition before the war started. If the Russian Empire was willing to accept it at that time, Jerome Bonaparte might not really have started a war.
Now that the war has been going on for nearly a year, France’s military spending is less than 200 million francs. If he doesn’t take a bite of blood in the Russian Empire, he may have to face the possible Economic depression.
What Jerome Bonaparte did not expect was that the conditions he handed over to Ivanov Gorchakov were so lenient that Jerome Bonaparte doubted why he wanted to fight this battle. Russia The empire even said that it blamed them.
Now it seems that his original decision is extremely correct. If you don’t help Duke Golitsyn to give the heart of the Russian Empire a hard blow, Russia will always die.
They will only succumb to the French Empire if Russia is in complete chaos.
“Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will pass on your offer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!” Ivanov Gorchakov quickly assured Jerome Bonaparte, “I can assure you that Soon His Majesty will send someone to discuss with you!”
“By the way! I hope that when negotiating, in addition to someone who can represent the will of your tsar, there must also be someone who matches my identity!” Jerome Bonaparte told Yin Vanov Gorchakov then made a request.
“Ah!” Ivanov Gorchakov opened his mouth slightly, showing a surprised expression.
“What’s wrong?” Jerome Bonaparte said to Ivanov Gorchakov eloquently: “Do you want me to communicate with a minister?”
“But His Majesty Nicholas I, he…”
Before Ivanov Gorchakov could finish speaking, Jerome Bonaparte said again: “I don’t care about this, you must exclude someone who matches my noble status! , even the crown prince! In short, this is a necessary condition!”
“Your Majesty, the crown prince will do too?” Yinvanov Gorchakov’s eyes lit up.
“It’s barely qualified!” Jerome Bonaparte responded to Ivanov Gorchakov, “However, you’d better let your tsar come over! This war was originally chosen by him. It’s up to him to end it!”
“I’ll tell you!” Ivanov Gorchakov responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
Jerome Bonaparte, who felt that the conversation was about the same, took out his pocket watch, it was almost 4 o’clock now, he waved his hand to Ivanov Gorchakov and said, “Okay! It’s time! It’s getting late! It’s time for me to rest!”
“Then I won’t disturb you!” Ivanov Gorchakov hurriedly stood up and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte.
“Do you need to sleep here for a while! I can order someone to arrange a room for you!” Jerome asked politely.
“There’s no need for this!” Ivanov Gorchakov shook his head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte, “I should leave now that the sky is not yet fully bright!”
“Then be careful on the road!”
Jerome Bonaparte sent Ivanov Gorchakov out of the headquarters, and at the same time ordered someone to safely deliver Ivanov Gorchakov to the vicinity of the Bakhchisaray area.
Ivanov Gorchakov quickly thanked Jerome Bonaparte.
Looking at Ivanov Gorchakov’s retreating back, Jerome Bonaparte’s smile disappeared immediately.
He whispered, “I hope everything goes well!”
…
At 5:00 in the morning, when it was just dawn, Ivanov Gorchakov said goodbye with his **** team six kilometers southwest of Bakhchisaray, and then continued to move in the direction of Bakhchisaray alone. .
When Ivanov Gorchakov arrived less than two kilometers from Bakhchisaray, a Cossack cavalry in charge of reconnaissance happened to find him.
And the captain of this Cossack cavalry was a friend of Ivanov Gorchakov.
At the strong invitation of a friend, Ivanov Gorchakov rode a horse with him.
A friend on the way asked in a low voice whether Ivanov Gorchakov went to Sevastopol for peace talks!
Ivanov Gorchakov smiled noncommittally, and asked him where he heard the news.
“Where did you hear it? What the **** is going on with our army now? You have to have no equipment, no morale, and you can’t even provide basic living guarantees! In this case, you tell me to win The other party? Stop joking, okay!” The friend said to Ivanov Gorchakov with a resentful expression, and then asked in a volume that only the two of them could hear: “Tell me now about the progress of the peace talks. Is everything going well? Can we end the fight!”
Ivanov Gorchakov remained silent. From the words of his friend, he could sense what kind of state the imperial army was in.
To put it bluntly, if the peace talks fail, the army is likely to face the risk of mutiny. (Ivanov Gorchakov underestimated the endurance of the Slavs!)
Seeing that Ivanov Gorchakov didn’t speak, a wry smile appeared on his friend’s face. He shook his head and said to himself, “I knew it! Peace talks are fundamental…”
“There is no result yet!” Ivanov Gorchakov said, “However, I can still see the honesty of France! Now let’s see what Your Majesty thinks!”
“Good good!”
…
Ivanov Gorchakov, who had just stepped into the Bakhchisaray headquarters with his front foot, was summoned by Crown Prince Alexander on his hind foot.
When Ivanov Gorchakov arrived at the seat of Crown Prince Alexander, he was surprised to find that Archduke Konstantin, Marshal Jomini, Commander Gorchakov, and Count Orlov were all here.
Judging from the demeanor of Marshal Jomini, they should have stayed up all night.
Before Ivanov Gorchakov could open his mouth to salute the few present, Archduke Konstantin couldn’t wait to ask, “How is it going?”
“Constantine!” Crown Prince Alexander recalled in a majestic voice, Archduke Constantine shut his mouth.
“His Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, the Count…” After Ivanov Gorchakov saluted them one by one, Crown Prince Alexander extended his right hand to the vacant seat on his right and greeted Ivanov Gorchakov. The husband said, “Don’t stand talking! Sit down!”
“Yes! Your Highness!” Ivanov Gorchakov walked slowly to Crown Prince Alexander’s side and sat down.
“How are things going?” Crown Prince Alexander asked Ivanov Gorchakov unhurriedly.
“His Royal Highness, things are going well…” Ivanov Gorchakov told Crown Prince Alexander that he had met Jerome Bonaparte after his meeting. all conversations.
After listening to Ivanov Gorchakov’s words, Crown Prince Alexander thought for a moment, then turned his eyes around.
“Do you think that Emperor Jerome Bonaparte really wants to cooperate with us, or is it for other purposes.” Crown Prince Alexander said.
“His Royal Highness, I think Emperor Jerome Bonaparte handed over their plan of action with Britain to Major Ivanov, largely because he wanted to negotiate peace with France!” Count Orlov an opening.
“Who knows if the action plan provided by the French emperor is a hoax!” Archduke Constantine said with equal caution.
“His Excellency the Grand Duke, if it is a scam, then the price paid by His Majesty Emperor Jerome Bonaparte for deceiving us is too great!
! Ivanov Gorchakov responded obediently to Archduke Konstantin: “If the Kingdom of Sweden really joins Britain and France to fight with us, it will be even more unfavorable to the Russian Empire!” Shouldn’t the priority of the French Empire be to defeat us as soon as possible?
Attacking Finland through Sweden and then attacking St. Petersburg is the way to beat us fast! “
