Make France Great Again

Chapter 692: Peace talks break down and war begins

Under Jerome Bonaparte's tough attitude, Alexander II had to change his previous laissez-faire attitude and began to negotiate with Jerome Bonaparte in person.

After the two sides went back and forth for several hours for their respective positions and interests, the time gradually came to noon.

The hungry Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly raised his hand and suggested to Alexander II: "We can't talk about it for a while now. Why don't we wait until we finish lunch?"

Alexander II, who also felt a little hungry, nodded and said: "Okay!"

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly put away the documents placed on the table with his entourage. Alexander II also ordered Gorchakov, Neserrodie and others to take back the documents that belonged to them. in the briefcase.

The table that was originally filled with documents was cleared away in the blink of an eye. Jérôme Bonaparte turned to the officer behind him and gave the order to "have dinner".

Upon seeing this, the officer quickly came to the back kitchen and ordered the chef in the back kitchen to bring out the lunch that had been prepared.

With the help of the chef's homemade suggestion trolley, garlic sausage, bread, foie gras and a large basin of broth...were brought out one after another.

Looking at the delicacies that filled the entire table, the Russian Empire’s mission from afar swallowed subconsciously. It was originally a trace of resentment towards the French mission (during the negotiation, it was inevitable for the two sides to argue with each other over a certain clause). , fierce disputes can easily produce resentment), which will also disappear under the influence of delicious food.

Just when Jérôme Bonaparte invited Alexander II and others to start dining, he suddenly wanted to take a look at the food situation of the troops stationed outside Yalta.

Therefore, Jérôme Bonaparte temporarily left the cafeteria on the pretext of peeing.

After leaving the canteen, Jerome Bonaparte quickly went to the regiment headquarters stationed near Yalta. At this time, plumes of smoke also rose above the regiment headquarters station. Jerome Bonaparte saw this and immediately ran into the station. .

In the regiment headquarters, he saw steaming pots propped on the ground, and underneath the pots were burning firewood.

When Jerome Bonaparte arrived at the marching pot, he saw the mutton soup boiling in the marching pot. He quickly said to the soldier who was working as a cook on the side, "Give me a bowl!"

"What's the rush? It's not healed yet!" The cook showed an impatient look on his face. He didn't seem to recognize Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Yeah!" Jérôme Bonaparte had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​tasting and turned to leave.

Before Jérôme Bonaparte could take two steps outside the military camp, a cry came from behind him: "Your Majesty!"

Jérôme Bonaparte turned around and glanced behind him. He saw the shocked eyes behind him, the dumbfounded expression of the cook who rejected him, and the regimental staff officer who was rushing towards his direction.

The regimental staff officer came to Jerome Bonaparte, saluted and reported his name and unit to which he belonged. Jerome Bonaparte also saluted him in return!

Then, Jérôme Bonaparte praised the regimental staff and said: "You did a good job! You should eat some mutton to replenish your body in winter!"

"This is what I should do!" the regiment staff officer responded humbly.

Later, the regiment staff asked Jerome Bonaparte why he came here and whether something happened in Yalta.

"Not at all!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head, and then told the regiment staff: The purpose of his coming here was just to see how the food of the army stationed there was!

"Please rest assured!" the regiment staff quickly assured Jérôme Bonaparte: "We will follow your instructions and will not treat every soldier who fights for France badly!"

"That's good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction.

Then he casually asked if these sheep had been paid.

"This..." the regiment staff hesitated.

Jérôme Bonaparte immediately understood that most of these sheep were snatched from the homes of "fellow villagers" in Crimea. He had no choice but to sigh and respond to the regimental staff: "This will not happen again!"

"Yes!" The regiment staff member quickly assured Jérôme Bonaparte that there would be no next time.

Looking at the sworn officer in front of him, Jérôme Bonaparte was certain that there would definitely be a next time.

After all, the French army is essentially a group of mercenary bandits. Even during the National War, the attributes of bandits have not changed at all.

Jérôme Bonaparte was unable and unwilling to change the inherent attributes of France.

The reason why the French army is willing to support itself is not just to lead them to the road of wealth.

If he transformed this guy into a group of warriors made of special materials, then he would be the first to be overthrown by the soldiers.

As the French emperor, he only needs to ensure the interests of the French army and the French people.

The rest, such as the great unity of the proletariat and world revolution, must be left to later generations.

After all, you have to believe in the wisdom of future generations (laughs).

Jerome Bonaparte went to the military camp for a walk and returned to the canteen in Yalta. When he stepped into the canteen again, he found that Alexander II and others had not moved quickly while he was away. .

"Eat! Why don't you eat!" Jérôme Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, then sat back to his original position and pointed at the foie gras placed in front of him and said to Alexander II: "Eating is mostly a meal. What a beautiful thing!”

"Your Majesty, you haven't come yet! We don't dare to eat!" Alexander II responded to Jerome Bonaparte in a teasing tone.

"What's this!" Jérôme Bonaparte cut off a piece of foie gras without ceremony and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it and said, "Eat it!"

Jérôme Bonaparte's unscrupulous eating style made everyone present put aside their worries, and they also began to operate the knife one after another, and lunch officially began.

Since there was no wine, the whole lunch lasted only half an hour and ended in a hurry.

After everyone rested for a while after eating and drinking, the second round of negotiations began.

The second round of negotiations in the afternoon was less explosive than the first round of negotiations. However, Walevsky and Neserrodie still refused to compromise on their positions and interests.

Throughout the afternoon, the two sides gradually negotiated the third issue regarding the navigation rights of the Russian Empire, that is, the merchant ships of the Russian Empire can sail on the Danube River under the supervision of Britain, France and Austria.

Just as the two sides were preparing to talk about Article 4. At that time, Jerome Patterson appeared in Yalta.

Jerome Bonaparte quickly stopped the negotiations and left with Jerome Patterson.

"What happened in Sevastopol?" Jerome Bonaparte immediately asked Jerome Patterson.

"Paris has received a letter from St. Petersburg. Duke Golitsyn said that they will launch a coup against Nicholas I at the end of the month! He hopes that we can defeat the Russian Empire on the Crimean Peninsula as much as possible and let them Unable to escape and return!" Jerome Paterson replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Okay! I understand!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and responded to Jerome Patterson.

When Jérôme Bonaparte returned to the dining hall, he suddenly said to Alexander II: "I don't think we need to talk anymore!"

"Your Majesty, you agree!" Alexander II, who misunderstood Jérôme Bonaparte's meaning, thought that Jérôme Bonaparte was prepared to give in on Article 4.

If Jérôme Bonaparte is willing to give in on Article 4, he will be absolutely sure to win the peace!

"What do I agree to?" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Alexander II calmly, "I mean that the negotiations between the French Empire and the Russian Empire will end from now on. Next, we will look at our two countries. Everyone has their own abilities on the battlefield!"

Jerome Bonaparte's sudden suspension made Alexander II find it difficult to accept.

He had already made a lot of concessions for this peace negotiation, and now Jerome Bonaparte suddenly told him that he would no longer negotiate. Isn't this just making fun of the Russian Empire?

Thinking of this, Alexander II felt like a complete fool, being played by Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, it was you who proposed the peace talks, and now you want to tear them up!" Alexander II blushed and shouted, "What is your purpose in doing this!"

"For what?" Jérôme Bonaparte thought for a moment, with a victorious smile on his face, "If I say this is just for fun, do you believe it?"

Hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's answer, Alexander II felt as if he was struck by lightning. His face suddenly turned pale and his lips kept trembling. fraud!"

"Alexander!" Jerome Bonaparte cast a pity look at Alexander II and looked for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan. com "We are engaged in a war, not a child's play house, so some fraud is also necessary!"

"I swear, I will send you and all your troops to hell!" Alexander II shouted angrily at Jerome Bonaparte.

"Alexander, there will always be a certain gap between ideals and reality!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded unhurriedly: "Sometimes, reality is more terrifying than ideals! By the way, there is one more thing. The war between us will officially begin at dawn tomorrow, and I hope you and your soldiers will be ready to face the French attack by then!"

That night, Jérôme Bonaparte returned to the Sevastopol Fortress and actively deployed strategic plans to attack Bakhchisaray and Simferopol.

Alexander II handed all the power to Gorchakov and stayed alone in the room in a daze.
