Make France Great Again - Chapter 680

The departure of Marshal Jomini and Archduke Constantine made the atmosphere that was still relaxed suddenly became solemn.

“Commander Gorchakov, what do you think?” Alexander II asked Gorchakov.

“His Royal Highness, I still insist on my previous opinion!” Commander Gorchakov replied decisively to Alexander II: “Even if we cannot reach an agreement with France in the end, we can take advantage of the negotiation period to rest and wait for the next The beginning of a war!”

“Yeah!” Crown Prince Alexander nodded to show his understanding, then glanced at Ivanov Gorchakov and said, “Major Ivanov, what do you think?”

“His Royal Highness, I agree with Commander Gorchakov’s opinion! No matter what the result is, we still have to try it!” Ivanov Gorchakov responded immediately.

“Okay! Got it!” Crown Prince Alexander also expressed his opinion, “I also agree with Commander Gorchakov’s opinion! Whether this is successful or not, we must try it!

If successful, Russia will be able to get out of the current predicament immediately! “

Then, Alexander II asked Ivanov Gorchakov if Jerome Bonaparte had any new demands!

Ivanov Gorchakov said to Alexander II: “Emperor Jerome Bonaparte once said to me that if we intend to negotiate peace, we need to send a person whose identity corresponds to his identity. Match people to participate in peace talks!”

“Identity matches?” The first thing that Alexander II thought of was his father, Nicholas I.

The current Nicholas I is seriously ill and has no ability to reach the Crimean Peninsula at all. Jerome Bonaparte is simply a strong man.

“That’s right!” Ivanov Gorchakov nodded slightly, then turned to Crown Prince Alexander and said, “However, Emperor Jerome Bonaparte didn’t seem to think that His Majesty Nicholas I would arrive later. The Crimea peninsula communicated with him, so he lowered his request, I hope you can be present during the peace talks!”

“Me?” Crown Prince Alexander was relieved when he heard that Jerome Bonaparte asked him to go to the peace talks. At least, Jerome Bonaparte didn’t know about the condition of his father, Nicholas I. .

And Count Orlov had a thoughtful expression on his face. As a secret policeman, he always felt that Jerome Bonaparte’s target was the crown prince from the very beginning.

Of course, Count Orlov didn’t think much about it. He only thought that Jerome Bonaparte had to be present because of his face.

“Um!”

After all the issues were discussed, Crown Prince Alexander ended the meeting.

After leaving the room, he decided to go to Marshal Jomini’s room and persuade Marshal Jomini to stay for the sake of the Russian Empire.

When Crown Prince Alexander arrived in Marshal Jomini’s room, he saw Jomini who was packing his bags, and rushed into the room to stop Jomini, and apologized to Marshal Jomini on behalf of Archduke Constantine.

“His Royal Highness, it’s really nothing!” Marshal Jomini shook his head, “I think His Excellency the Grand Duke is right! I’m a French!”

“Teacher, your love for Russia is obvious to all of us!” Crown Prince Alexander replied to Marshal Jomini

“His Royal Highness, the fallen leaves will one day return to the earth! I don’t want to be scolded by my compatriots and become a pillar of shame in France during the last journey of my life (in fact, Jomini, strictly speaking, is Swiss, but they think they are French)!” Marshal Jomini said to Alexander II.

“No! It won’t! It’s just that each has its own master!” Crown Prince Alexander shook his head and retorted to Marshal Jomini.

“They don’t think it’s their own masters!” Marshal Jomini shook his head with a wry smile and responded to Crown Prince Alexander.

“Teacher, stay in Russia and enjoy your old age!” Crown Prince Alexander found a way out for Marshal Jomini.

“Your Highness, I love Russia, but my home is in France, so…” Marshal Jomini bowed to Crown Prince Alexander, “I’m sorry, Your Highness!”

Crown Prince Alexander thought for a moment, he felt that if he kept Marshal Jomini by his side, it would be impossible for him to continue to perform his duties!

After all, the cultural attributes of France are far stronger than that of Russia. (Alexander II is too subjective here)

Alexander thought that if he were Marshal Jomini, he would have the same reaction as Marshal Jomini.

“Alright then!” Crown Prince Alexander chose to let go, “However, teacher, you must promise me a condition!”

“What conditions!” Yomini asked Crown Prince Alexander.

“I have a letter that I am about to send to my father, and I hope you can give him to my father when you leave!” Crown Prince Alexander responded to Jomini with a solemn face.

Regarding the request of Crown Prince Alexander, Marshal Yomini did not choose to refuse. He nodded to Crown Prince Alexander and said, “I will deliver the letter on time!”

“Thank you very much!” After the Crown Prince Alexander shook hands with Marshal Jomini again, he closed the door and left.

After leaving the room, Alexander II was still walking through the corridor, and soon he met the Archduke Constantine.

At this time, Archduke Constantine was like a child who had done something wrong, standing awkwardly in front of Crown Prince Alexander.

“You…you!” Crown Prince Alexander sighed again, and responded with resentment: “I told you a long time ago that you are no longer a child! You need to be responsible for your own words!”

“I know I was wrong!” Archduke Constantine apologized to Crown Prince Alexander in a low voice, and then suggested to Crown Prince Alexander: “Or I’ll go and apologize to the teacher, I really didn’t think so much at the time!”

“It’s too late!” Crown Prince Alexander replied to Archduke Constantine, then pointed at Archduke Constantine and said, “After a while, you will return to St. Petersburg with Teacher Jomini!”

“Ah!” Archduke Constantine shook his head vigorously and said, “My father asked me to take your place. Now that you haven’t left, I’m leaving, which is not good!”

“You still want to succeed me like this? Don’t you think it’s messy enough?” Crown Prince Alexander raised his voice and replied to Archduke Constantine.

“I…” Archduke Constantine wanted to say something, but found that he seemed to have no reason to argue.

“Okay! That’s it!” Crown Prince Alexander replied to Archduke Constantine without hesitation: “You must return to St. Petersburg!”

“Yes!” Archduke Constantine responded like a concubine.

…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and during these two days, Sevastopol and Bakhchisaray had another exchange.

Alexander II wanted to let the French Empire relax its policies in the Black Sea, but Jerome Bonaparte did not agree with Alexander II’s request, he still insisted on the original conditions.

Alexander II had no choice but to make a temporary concession, and the conditions of the peace talks were basically fulfilled for Alexander II.

Subsequently, Alexander II wrote a letter to St. Petersburg.

In addition to Jerome Bonaparte’s conditions, the letter also contains Alexander II’s own views.

Alexander II believed that there was not only no substantial contradiction between France and Russia, but also that the two sides could reach a consensus in a certain respect (referring to the British issue), so he hoped that Nicholas I would consider peace talks a little.

After all, the longer the battle between France and Russia, the more conflicts between the two sides.

At that time, as long as Britain instigates, it will be difficult for Russia to seek peace again.

…

After writing the letter, Alexander II solemnly handed the letter to Marshal Jomini, who was about to leave for St. Petersburg to report on his duties, and salutes Marshal Jomini.

Marshal Jomini also returned the salute to Alexander II, and immediately got on his horse,

Archduke Constantine, who was standing beside Jomini, was also instructed by Alexander II and followed closely behind.

Under the icy cold wind, Marshal Jomini and Archduke Constantine left Bakhchisaray, and that night, crossed the pontoon bridge from the peninsula to land and continued on their way.

Finally, after nearly 5 days of non-stop running, Jomini and Archduke Constantine arrived near Moscow, and set off from Moscow on this night to St. Petersburg.

The train galloped all the way, and after nearly half a day and a night of driving, it arrived at the Imperial Village outside St. Petersburg. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

“Damn the weather!” Archduke Constantine, who had just got off the train, rubbed his body with both hands, and couldn’t help but scolded in a low voice.

Having stayed on the Crimea for a long time, he had long forgotten the temperature in St. Petersburg, so much so that he forgot to change into cotton clothes before getting off the bus.

Although Marshal Jomini, who was standing beside the Archduke Constantine, was wearing a thin coat like him, he did not tremble like Archduke Constantine, but stood there without changing his face, waiting for the car. Arrival of the rack.

After a while, a simple black carriage bearing the emblem of the Tsar appeared in front of Archduke Constantine and Jomini.

The person who got off the carriage was one of the butlers in the palace of Nicholas I. He first bowed slightly to Marshal Jomini and the Archduke Constantine, “Marshal, Your Excellency the Archduke, I have kept you waiting!”

Immediately, he opened the car door, and Archduke Constantine quickly entered the car, and Marshal Jomini also stepped into the car step by step.

The carriage was closed, and the carriage slowly started.

When Jomini left the train station and came to the vicinity of the Imperial Village, he was surprised to find that there were a lot of soldiers on the streets of the Imperial Village. surrounded by troops.
