Make France Great Again - Chapter 679

In the face of Ivanov Gorchakov’s rebuttal, Archduke Konstantin was speechless.

Although his sixth sense told him that there must be a conspiracy behind the Jerome Bonaparte peace talks, he could not prove his conjecture.

All indications show that Jerome Bonaparte really sincerely hopes that the French Empire and the Russian Empire can abandon their previous suspicions and cooperate.

And from a strategic point of view, dismantling the Russian Empire together with the Kingdom of Britain does not benefit the French Empire much.

On the contrary, it may make the French Empire the next target of the British Kingdom.

Of course, if they knew that Jérôme Bonaparte was in collusion with the rebels in St. Petersburg, then everything behind the peace talks could be explained.

It’s a pity that they don’t know the most crucial link.

They were almost on the verge of falling into a dead end on the Crimean Peninsula, and they chose to believe the olive branch that Jerome Bonaparte gave them.

“Right! Did Emperor Jerome Bonaparte tell you what the terms of the peace talks are?” Crown Prince Alexander asked Ivanov Gorchakov as a gift.

“Yes!” Ivanov Gorchakov took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and then offered it with both hands with a solemn expression: “Emperor Jerome Bonaparte has all the conditions. In here!”

Crown Prince Alexander took the folded paper and unfolded it for viewing.

The people present also looked at the things in the hands of Crown Prince Alexander with curious eyes. They still didn’t know what conditions Jerome Bonaparte would make this time.

Crown Prince Alexander read the conditions one by one, and heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and handed the paper to Jomini, who was sitting beside him: “Teacher, look at this is Emperor Jerome Bonaparte. conditions!”

Jomini took the paper from Crown Prince Alexander’s hand, and then carefully watched the conditions proposed by Jerome Bonaparte.

“After Mr. Yomini has read it, you all have a look!” Crown Prince Alexander then said to everyone present.

After a while, Marshal Yomini read the four conditions recorded on the paper, and then handed it to Gorchakov next to him.

After Gorchakov read it, Orlov and Archduke Konstantin also completed it in turn.

After the paper that recorded the conditions proposed by Jerome Bonaparte went around in circles, it returned to the hands of Crown Prince Alexander.

“Tell me! What do you think of this condition?” Crown Prince Alexander leaned back slightly, crossed his hands on his thighs, and put on a leisurely look.

“His Royal Highness, the conditions of the French Empire may be difficult to accept by His Majesty the Tsar!” Orlov said to Crown Prince Alexander in a slightly angry tone: “This condition proposed by France is the same as the last time I was in Vienna, the three countries of England, France and Austria. The conditions put forward by Russia are basically the same.

The four conditions they put forward are simply erasing all of our decades of hard work!

The advantages that we have finally occupied in the Black Sea and Danube regions will be lost in the moment of the signing of the agreement! “

“Count Orlov is right! Brother, we can’t sign this agreement!” Archduke Constantine hurriedly supported Orlov.

“Constantine!” Crown Prince Alexander responded sternly to Archduke Constantine: “This is a place to discuss military meetings, there is no big brother!”

“Yes! Your Highness!” Archduke Constantine responded with a serious expression.

“Constantine, do you also think we can’t agree to this condition?” Crown Prince Alexander asked Archduke Constantine.

“Of course!” Archduke Constantine responded decisively, “Father… No! His Majesty the Tsar did not agree to this condition at the beginning, and it should not be possible to agree to this condition now!”

“Okay!” Crown Prince Alexander nodded, then turned to ask Marshal Jomini next to him, “Teacher, what do you think?”

“His Royal Highness, you want to ask you something!” Marshal Jomini said to Crown Prince Alexander casually.

“Teacher, please tell me!” Crown Prince Alexander responded respectfully.

“Do you think the Russian Empire can still achieve the final victory!” Jomini asked Crown Prince Alexander.

Crown Prince Alexander shook his head subconsciously, then nodded quickly.

“Okay! I understand what you mean!” Marshal Jomini turned his gaze to Archduke Constantine and Count Orlov, this time he changed his tone and asked in a serious tone: “Your Excellency the Archduke, Count Sir, I would like to ask how much confidence you two have in defeating the French army in the Crimea!”

Although both Konstantin and Orlov were clearly opposed to the terms of Jerome Bonaparte, they also had no hope that the Russian Empire would be victorious in Crimea.

According to Constantine, the Crimean War had better experience a non-injurious defeat, and then they could use the defeat to abandon Bakhchisaray, Simferopol, and even Perekop.

After the army withdrew to the Ukrainian region, it was using the vast land to resist.

As long as the Anglo-French coalition cannot seize the main Russian army and defeat them, then they only need to wait until the British and French people are tired of war, and then they can obtain a decent peace on relatively fair terms.

Jérôme Bonaparte’s condition apparently deprived the Archduke Constantine of his desire for decency.

“Then you can’t agree to it now!” Archduke Constant couldn’t help but said to Marshal Jomini, who was a little emotional. “Teacher, you can’t just because you’re French…”

Before the Archduke Constantine could finish speaking, Crown Prince Alexander immediately shouted, “Constantine, do you know what you are talking about?”

Archduke Constantine immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and he hurriedly remedied: “Teacher, I didn’t mean that…”

No matter how Constantine made it up, Marshal Yomini’s mind was in chaos at this time.

yes! He knew why the French went to the trouble of helping the Russians against France.

The kindness of His Majesty the Holy King Alexander and Nicholas I to him, he has long since repaid it with practical actions.

Why is he staying here now? Why! I shouldn’t have followed His Majesty’s summons to come here in the first place! I’d better go!

Thinking of this, Marshal Jomini immediately said to Alexander II: “His Royal Highness, please allow me, an incompetent old man, to resign to you!”

“Marshal, you can’t go!”

“Yes! Marshal! Crimea still needs you,”

After hearing Jomini’s request to resign in public, several people present kept Jomini one after another.

The current Russian Empire is also in a state of inadequacy in terms of famous generals. The older generation participated in the Napoleonic Wars, and only Marshal Jomini was left with outstanding records, while the new generation (Commander Gorchakov) mostly belonged to The kind of guy who is not enough and more than enough.

As far as the current situation is concerned, if Marshal Jomini leaves, they will be even less confident.

“Teacher, I was wrong! Please don’t go!” Archduke Constantine, who was the initiator of all this, was also panicked. He hurriedly came to Marshal Jomini and apologized to Marshal Jomini.

Jomini shook his head, and his eyes revealed a loving look: “Your Excellency the Grand Duke, you are right! As a Frenchman, I should not have participated in this battle…”

“Teacher! Although you are French, we can all see your love for Russia. I don’t think a nation can easily obliterate your contribution to the Russian Empire!” Crown Prince Alexander also expressed his appreciation to Jomini. Save the road.

“Yes! Teacher, we need you! The Russian Empire needs you!” Archduke Constantine pleaded with Marshal Jomini.

“His Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Archduke, thank you very much for your affirmation of me!” For the remarks that Crown Prince Alexander and Archduke Constantine asked him to stay, Marshal Jomini expressed his gratitude: “However, I really shouldn’t stay here! I As a Frenchman, I love Russia and I love France too! I really don’t want to see either of you beaten by the other, so allow me to bid you farewell!”

“No? I don’t agree!” Crown Prince Alexander responded with a firm attitude, and then specially emphasized: “I will never agree to your resignation, and I believe my father will not agree either! “

“Your Highness, why are you doing this?” Marshal Jomini said to Crown Prince Alexander with a wry smile.

Later, Marshal Jomini told Crown Prince Alexander that even if he was forced to stay here, he would not do anything more military-related.

“His Royal Highness, please allow me to leave here!” Marshal Jomini bowed to Crown Prince Alexander again, then turned around and pushed the door to leave.

Looking at the disappearing figure of Marshal Jomini, Crown Prince Alexander once again shouted as Archduke Constantine, “Look at what you’ve done!”

“I…” Archduke Constantine lowered his head in shame.

“From now on, I will deprive you of all your rights in the army! Constantine, you will no longer be eligible to participate in the military council!” Alexander II gave an order to Constantine with majesty.

Constantine, who knew that he was wrong, lowered his head and responded to Alexander II: “Yes!”

Immediately afterwards, Constantine also followed in the footsteps of Marshal Jomini and left the room.

Now in the room, there are only four people left: Crown Prince Alexander, Count Orlov, Commander Gorchakov and Major Ivanov Gorchakov.

“Hey! Let’s go back to the topic just now!”
