Make France Great Again

"Nothing happened in St. Petersburg, but something happened in Crimea!"

Crown Prince Alexander's words aroused Gorchakov's curiosity. As the commander-in-chief of Crimea, he did not find any unusual behavior.

"Your Highness, what happened in Crimea?" Gorchakov asked doubtfully.

"You haven't heard anything in the Crimean Peninsula for six days?" Alexander II responded in confusion.

"No!" Gorchakov responded, shaking his head.

As the commander-in-chief of the Crimean Peninsula, he did not know what was happening in his area. He was really derelict in his duties.

"According to a report in The Times, the French Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte has recently arrived in Sevastopol!" Alexander II said to Gorchakov.

[PS: During the Crimean War, all military operations of the Russian Empire were based on information revealed by the insider "The Times".

Sometimes, the Times gets news from the front faster than the Cabinet!

However, after Jérôme Bonaparte arrived, as a monarch, he issued an order to Marshal Raglan to shut up The Times. One pig teammate was far more harmful than ten god opponents.

Marshal Raglan, who had long been unhappy with The Times, followed Jérôme Bonaparte's order and imposed certain restrictions on The Times.

Nicholas I read the news of Jerome Bonaparte's arrival in Sevastopol from The Times, just before Jerome Bonaparte restricted the Times. 】

"What?!" Gorchakov's eyes widened in surprise, "The Emperor of France has arrived in Sevastopol?!!!"

"That's right! That's why I will serve as the special envoy this time!" Crown Prince Alexander II nodded to Gorchakov, and then added: "Originally, His Majesty the Emperor planned to come here in person to meet with Jerome Po Decisive battle with Napoleon! I told your Majesty that Napoleon III was just a usurper (Emperor - King of Rome - Jérôme Bonaparte) and there was no need for him to come in person, so your Majesty ordered me to go to Crete on his behalf. Mia.”

"Your Highness, if the French Emperor is really in Sevastopol, will the Ministry of War (Nicholas I) agree to our request to postpone the attack?" Gorchakov asked Crown Prince Alexander.

Alexander II was silent. If the Times report is true, then the Russian Empire's plan to postpone the attack will most likely not be adopted by his father.

"It will definitely happen!" Although Alexander II knew in his heart that this plan would be difficult to pass, he still had a calm and confident expression on his face.

"In that case, that's great!" Gorchakov also didn't believe that the emperor would give them time to rest, but he was also unwilling to expose the lie.

Then Alexander II tactfully asked Gorchakov what he thought of this war.

Gorchakov also expressed euphemistically to Alexander II that this war was a wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The Russian Empire should have been relying on its vast land to resist, but now it is gathering its troops to fight an asymmetric war with the coalition forces in Sevastopol.

Sevastopol is now like a magnet, attracting all the mobile forces on the southern front of the Russian Empire.

What's worse is that their army's logistics are far inferior to those of the coalition forces that rely on sea transportation. They are simply taking advantage of the shortcomings of the Russian Empire to compete with the strengths of Britain and France.

"Commander Gorchakov, have you ever thought about how we should end this war?" Alexander II asked Gorchakov.

"Your Highness, there are only two ways to end the war! The first is for the Russian Empire's army to win a great victory, and the second is for the Russian Empire to return with a great defeat!" Commander Gorchakov said to Alexander II: "I believe we will win, but the place of victory may not be in Crimea!"

"Then have you ever thought of the third way!" Alexander II said to Gorchakov.

"Your Highness, what is the third type?" Gorchakov asked subconsciously.

"After both sides are exhausted, the Russian Empire and the French Empire shake hands and make peace!" Alexander II lowered his voice and said to Gorchakov: "As long as the French Empire chooses to withdraw from the war, then the Kingdom of Britain alone will not be able to attack us!"

"Your Highness, this may take a long time! The morale of the French Empire is still high!" Gorchakov replied to Alexander II.

"I know!" Alexander II nodded, and then changed the subject and said to Gorchakov: "But we must leave ourselves a channel for negotiation in advance. As long as this channel is opened, then we can do it at any time. It can end the war!"

After listening to Alexander II's words, Gorchakov's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up two beats.

He can be sure that His Majesty the Crown Prince's action was definitely carried out behind His Majesty's back. His Majesty Emperor Nicholas would not have the idea of ​​​​peace so soon.

"Commander Gorchakov, are you willing to help me?" Crown Prince Alexander asked Gorchakov sincerely.

"Your Highness, I know what to do!" Gorchakov nodded and responded to Crown Prince Alexander, "I happen to have a candidate here! If you agree, I can ask him to go to Sevastopol on your behalf. Account with the French Emperor!"

"Can I completely trust him?" Alexander II asked cautiously: "You should know what the consequences of this matter will be!"

"Your Majesty, he is my nephew, and he is also a thoughtful person! You can trust him with confidence!" Gorchakov assured Alexander II.

"In that case, let's try it!"

…

After a brief conversation, Alexander II, Gorchakov, and Jomini and their men left the hotel on horseback and headed for Perekop Fortress.

When Alexander II arrived at the Perekop Fortress, Gorchakov immediately called his adjutants (more than one adjutant) and staff officers to the office for a brief meeting to introduce Alexander II and Jomini to them!

"From now on, Crown Prince Alexander and Marshal Jomini are members of our army! I hope you can maintain a respectful attitude toward them, do you hear me clearly?" Gorchakov introduced them to Alexander II and Yomini Marshal Mini.

"Yes!" the adjutant and staff responded to Gorchakov in unison.

"Major Ivanov!" Gorchakov pointed out Staff Officer Ivanov Gorchakov

"Here!" Ivanov Gorchakov took a step forward and responded loudly.

"After the military meeting is over, it is up to you to arrange a resting place for His Highness and the Marshal!" Gorchakov gave an order to Ivanov Gorchakov.

Everyone present envied Ivanov Gorchakov. The current crown prince was the future emperor.

The current emperor Nicholas I is over 60 years old, and the crown prince will succeed to the throne in no more than ten years at most.

The more you get close to the future emperor, the less likely you are to be one step ahead on the road to promotion.

"Yes!" Ivanov Gorchakov also had a smile on his lips. In his heart, he was only grateful for his distant uncle.

Gorchakov, who handed over the task, glanced at his pocket watch. He raised his head and said to everyone present: "Okay! Everyone, let's go!"

The Crown Prince and his entourage left Gorchakov's office and went to the military camp near the fortress, where they introduced Alexander II and Jomini to the military commanders and division commanders stationed near the fortress.

After visiting all the surrounding military camps, time had quietly reached dusk. Alexander II and Jomini, led by Ivanov Gorchakov, entered the room prepared for them.

"Your Highness, Marshal, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!" Ivanov Gorchakov said to Alexander II and Jomini, and then turned around and prepared to leave?

"Wait a minute!" Alexander II stopped Ivanov Gorchakov.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?" Ivanov Gorchakov asked Alexander II.

"Gorchakov introduced you to me! He said you are a trustworthy person!" Alexander II asked Ivanov with a serious expression. Gorchakov said: "Although I believe Gorchakov Commander Cove's judgment, but I still want to influence you! Major Ivanov, I can trust you!"

Looking at the posture in front of him, Ivanov Gorchakov instantly understood that he seemed to have been tricked by his uncle... No, it couldn't be said to be a trick.

After all, many people want this opportunity but can’t get it.

Although Ivanov Gorchakov did not know what task Alexander II was going to give him, he understood that this was his opportunity.

If he can grasp it, he will have a chance to become famous!

"Your Highness, look for Shuyuan www.zhaoｓhuyuan.com I assure you with the surname Gorchakov, you can completely trust me!" Ivanov Gorchakov replied meticulously.

"Very good!" A smile appeared on Alexander II's face, "I can assure you that your ability and loyalty will be rewarded!"

Ivanov Gorchakov immediately gave Alexander II a military salute and said in a sonorous tone: "I am willing to serve you!"

"Your mission is to go to the Sevastopol military camp to get in touch with the French Emperor!" Alexander II gave the order to Ivanov Gorchakov. "Because this is a confidential mission, you You cannot tell anyone. In a few days, I will send a mission to Sevastopol! At that time, you will also be arranged to be included in the mission to Sevastopol to meet the French Emperor!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ivanov Gorchakov replied.
