Make France Great Again

Chapter 416 The Ottoman Empire declares war

Richard Metternich's prudent speech made Jerome Bonaparte regretful, but at the same time he also gained some appreciation from Aiwujiwu.

Although Richard Metternich was not as smooth as his father, he at least had some qualities of a diplomat.

In time, I will be able to become a qualified diplomat.

Of course, Richard Metternich's future achievements will only be limited to qualifications, and the characteristics he displays cannot support him from becoming an excellent diplomat.

"Ambassador Rothschild, what do you think?" Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to Ambassador Rothschild and asked.

"Your Majesty, I agree with Secretary Richard Metternich!" Ambassador Rothschild emphasized to Jerome Bonaparte: "Whether the Austrian Empire is willing to become the protector of the Danube Principality does not depend on it. It’s up to us. It depends on the Vienna government. If you need us to deliver news to Vienna, we will be happy to serve you!”

"That's what I meant!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and responded to Ambassador Rothschild.

Later, Jérôme Bonaparte chatted with Ambassador Rothschild and Secretary Richard Metternich on some issues that had nothing to do with diplomacy. Before he knew it, an hour and a half had passed. Exchange party It is also gradually coming to an end.

Ambassador Rothschild and Richard Metternich left the study, leaving Jerome Bonaparte alone in the study.

"Do you really think you can escape?" Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting on the chair, muttered quietly.

Early the next morning.

An exclusive report on "Recording the Evil Deeds of the Russian Empire in the Danube Principality" appeared in the Observer.

The report not only pointed out a series of violations of military discipline by the Russian Imperial Army on the Danube, but also posted on the front of the newspaper the photos that Jérôme Bonaparte showed to Ambassador Rothschild.

The report was like a huge boulder that hit the stagnant Parisian public opinion circle and stirred up waves.

Many melon-eating people who did not know the truth began to condemn the Russian Empire's evil deeds on the Danube River. Some victims of the Russian Imperial Army (formerly) also came forward to demonstrate the barbarism and rudeness of the Russian Empire. Some Poles and Romanians who were exiled in Paris also saw the opportunity, and they began to use their own strength to join the crusade against the evil deeds of the Russian Empire.

In the next few days, Polish exiles and Romanian exiles began to gradually increase their efforts, and newspapers large and small in France began to rush to report on the "evil deeds" of the Russian Empire.

The public opinion and cultural circles of the French Empire began to gradually move towards the field of opposition to the Russian Empire.

Literary and artistic workers living in Paris began to speak out for the Danube Principality and called on people to resist the tyranny of the Russian Empire in the Danube Principality.

Some even clamored that the French Empire should help the Ottoman Empire defeat the barbaric Slavic Empire.

As the support for the voices against the Russian Empire gradually increased in Paris, the ambassador of the Russian Empire's Embassy in France immediately became unable to sit still.

Sensing the urgency of the situation, the Russian Empire's ambassador first wrote to the Russian Empire to report on the current situation of the French Empire, so that St. Petersburg could think of a better response strategy.

Then he went to the headquarters of the Observer and condemned the authenticity of the story in front of all the reporters of the Observer.

The Russian ambassador claimed that their Russian Imperial Army on the Danube River would never do the things in the photos. Someone must have deliberately framed the Russian Empire.

The Russian ambassador asked the Observer to clarify the facts, then personally refute the rumors and apologize, and eliminate the negative influence of the Observer on the Russian Empire.

Otherwise, the Observer will bear all the consequences of the deterioration in relations between the Russian Empire and the French Empire.

The Observer, which received the instructions, did not give in to the Russian Empire's demands, which could even be said to be threats. It also rejected the request of the Russian Imperial Ambassador on the grounds that he did not have any evidence to prove that the Russian army had not done these things. Require.

The newspaper the day after the Russian ambassador left openly used the topic "France is not afraid of threats from any country" as the topic, and launched an all-round and indiscriminate bombing of the Russian Empire.

From the early days of the Russian Empire when it was the "dog" of the Mongols, to the end of the Russian Empire's occupation of the Danube Principality.

Finally, we came to the conclusion that "Russia is either invading or on the road to aggression"!

The furious Russian ambassador began to seek help from the French official level, hoping that they could curb the nonsense of some "third-rate tabloids."

However, French Interior Minister Pessini also used various reasons to prevaricate the Russian Empire.

Only then did the Russian ambassador realize that behind the "Observer" was most likely the official instruction of the French Empire.

Thinking of this, the Ambassador of the Russian Empire could only give up his plan and wait for the next order from St. Petersburg.

Time passed by in a hurry, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. A piece of breaking news spread from the Near East to Paris.

Gu Gan/span "What? The Grand Council of the Ottoman Empire declared war on the Russian Empire?" Jérôme Bonaparte, who received the news, asked De Luys who arrived at the Tuileries Palace.

"That's right! According to the telegram sent by Ambassador Valewski, the Ottoman Empire's Grand Council just passed a proposal to declare war on the Russian Empire! The Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire are now at war!" De Luy Si nodded and repeated to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"So, we have to take action! How about supporting the Ottoman Empire?" Jerome Bonaparte asked De Ruys again.

Although the Ottoman Empire's declaration of war on the Russian Empire was within Jérôme Bonaparte's expectations, he did not expect that the Ottoman Empire would declare war on the Russian Empire so quickly.

Judging from the time Rifat left, it was probably just a few days after Rifat returned to the Ottoman Empire.

The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire began to eagerly declare war on the Russian Empire. Jerome Bonaparte really didn't know whether the Ottoman Empire was overconfident in the French Empire's support capabilities, or whether it believed that it could withstand the Russian Empire's three axes. , waiting for the rescue of French dad and British dad.

In short, under the operation of the Ottoman Empire, Jérôme Bonaparte had to consider declaring war on the Russian Empire!

"I'm afraid this is the only way!" De Ruys said to Jerome Bonaparte in a serious tone.

De Luys also did not expect the result in front of him.

However, since the high officials of the Ottoman Empire have no objection to the conditions proposed by the French Empire, the French Empire should also do its best to ensure the security of the Ottoman Empire.

Jérôme Bonaparte got up and paced back and forth. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head again and responded to De Luys: "We can't wait any longer! We must act immediately! Go and call the Ambassador of the Russian Empire in person. , I want to tell him face to face!"

"I understand!" De Luys nodded and left the study.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who watched De Ruys leave the study, called Mokar to the office.

"Call the Minister of War, the Chief of General Staff, and the Minister of the Navy, and tell them that I have important matters to see them!" Jérôme Bonaparte gave instructions to Mokar.

Mokar nodded to express his understanding, then turned and left the study.

Just when Mokar was about to leave the study, Jerome Bonaparte stopped Mokar again and told her that he would wait for the three ministers in the guest room of the Tuileries Palace.

Shortly after Mokar left, Foreign Minister De Ruys returned to his study in the Tuileries Palace. Behind him was a Russian diplomatic ambassador who knew nothing about Ding's future.

When the French Foreign Minister De Ruys personally found him in the embassy and informed him that the Emperor Jerome Bonaparte wanted to meet with him.

The Russian ambassador's first feeling was surprise, and then he felt a sense of absurdity.

When did the Foreign Secretary become the one responsible for delivering the message?

Since it was a summons from the French Emperor, how could the Russian Ambassador not go?

The ambassador of the Russian Empire, led by Foreign Minister De Ruys, appeared before Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Mr. Ambassador, please sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte extended his hand to invite the French Ambassador to sit down.

"Thank you for your kindness! Your Majesty!" the Russian ambassador responded with a slight nod to Jerome Bonaparte.

After Jérôme Bonaparte, De Ruys and the Russian Ambassador sat down, Jérôme Bonaparte first asked when the Ambassador of the Russian Empire took over the position of the previous Ambassador (Vladimirovich) and became the Ambassador. .

"I took over the position of Ambassador Vladimirovich six months ago!" the Russian Ambassador immediately responded to Jerome Bonnar.

So what does Mr. Minister think of France? "Jérôme Bonaparte asked the Russian ambassador about his attitude towards France. Find the book www.zhaoshuyuan.com

Although the Russian ambassador did not have a very good sense of France, there was no need for him to say it in front of the emperor.

The ambassador of the Russian Empire could only say against his will that the French Empire was as great a country as the Russian Empire, and the two countries should join hands to resist the persecution of Christians by pagans.

As long as the Russian Empire and the French Empire join hands, no country in the world can resist them.

"I am very willing to maintain the friendship between the Russian Empire and the French Empire!" Jérôme Bonaparte gradually turned the topic in the direction of declaring war: "But your monarch is determined to destroy the two countries. friendship! Destroying peace in Europe!”

Jerome Bonaparte's words made the Russian ambassador change his face. From Jerome Bonaparte's remarks, he smelled the breath of war.
