Make France Great Again

After the two thorny issues of Algeria's localization and the abolition of the National Guard were on track, the time came to mid-August.

Jerome Bonaparte could finally turn his attention from domestic to foreign countries. It was at this time that Valewski brought Jerome Bonaparte the latest situation in the Russian Empire.

"Your Majesty, according to the news from St. Petersburg! The war in Moscow has been decided!" Walewski reported to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Who won?" Jérôme Bonaparte quickly asked Valewski.

"His Majesty Emperor Alexander II!" Walewski replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Huh?" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Valewski with a puzzled look on his face.

It stands to reason that the one who won the victory should be Golitsyn's army, because the distance from St. Petersburg to Moscow is closer than the distance from Odessa to Moscow.

Moreover, there is a railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg as a supplement. No matter how you think about it, the Golitsyn government should win.

Even if the Golitsyn government had not won the final victory, the "Battle of Moscow" should not have ended so quickly.

Later, Jerome Bonaparte asked Valewski how Alexander II won the victory!

Walewski told Jerome Bonaparte that a large part of the reason why Alexander II won so easily was due to the support of local forces in Moscow.

Because Moscow was located in the interior of the Russian Empire, the nobility of Moscow was not as completely corrupted by republican ideas as the nobility of St. Petersburg.

Although the Moscow nobles also had the urge to establish a republic, this impulse was slightly inferior to the St. Petersburg nobles who wanted to kill the Tsar's family.

Therefore, when Duke Golitsyn was integrating the Moscow region's armed forces, the Moscow region's armed forces had already shown a negative side.

However, because the Moscow aristocratic officers at that time were generally on the side of the progressive forces, they were not purged by Duke Golitsyn.

When Alexander II led the army to fight, the armed forces in the Moscow area did not defect immediately. Instead, they tried their best to fight with the army sent by Alexander II.

As time goes by, the mortality rate of Moscow's progressive aristocratic officers is getting higher and higher, and some officers who were originally at the bottom were quickly promoted.

It doesn't matter if you don't promote him, but if you do he will cause a big mess.

Although those military commanders who were quickly promoted were members of the oppressed class, they were out-and-out royalists ideologically.

After royalist officers gradually took control of the Moscow army, they began to collude with each other under the eyes of the commissioner.

But the stupid commissioner didn't care at all about the comparison. He believed that the army in his hands was still the original revolutionary army.

As a result, the royalist officers mobilized a battalion of troops in early August (the actual number of soldiers the royalists could control was less than one-third of the entire Moscow army, and they could mobilize even less) and directly killed the soldiers in charge. Supervise their special commissioners, and then massacre the Moscow headquarters.

By the time the progressive officers reacted, those royalist officers had already rushed into the main city of Moscow and announced in a high-profile manner that they were going to bring order to the chaos and return to the command of Emperor Alexander II.

The leaderless progressive officers wanted to lead the army in a counterattack, but found that they could not completely control the army.

After the two sides fought back and forth in the streets of Moscow for a short while, the progressive officers had no choice but to leave in despair.

The royalist officers who occupied Moscow looted Moscow for a long time before sending people to invite Alexander II's troops into the city.

After listening to Valewski's description, Jerome Bonaparte felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After a while, Jérôme Bonaparte remembered that the operations of the Moscow royalists were a parody of the royalists in the early days of the French Republic!

It's just that the original French Republic's control of the military was far less poor than that of Golitsyn's government.

If this had happened on French soil, it would have been impossible for the rebels to win.

"I'm afraid the Golitsyn government will be blown away!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said to Valewski.

"Your Majesty, the current Golitsyn government has announced that it will establish a National Guard that is completely loyal to the St. Petersburg government in the large cities occupied by Russia. As the capital, St. Petersburg will establish 300 battalions of the National Guard for Reinforce all fronts!" Walewski replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"300 battalions!" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Valewski with wide eyes and said, "Are you sure it is 300 battalions?"

"Your Majesty, I'm sure!" Valewski replied firmly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but shook his head, "300 battalions, at least 150,000 people! I remember that the population of St. Petersburg has not exceeded one million!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Walewski nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

As of 1855, among all European cities, there were only two megacities, Paris and London, with a population exceeding one million.

"Even if I calculate based on the population of St. Petersburg being 900,000 (actually the population of St. Petersburg in 1890 was well over 1 million), the National Guard armed with 150,000 people! This is equivalent to one-sixth of the entire population of Moscow!" Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and replied to Valevsky: "Does Prince Golitsyn want to drain the entire population of St. Petersburg dry?"

Jérôme Bonaparte paused and asked Valewski: "Valewski, do you think there is a possibility that Golitsyn has become Robespierre!"

"Your Majesty, what is Robespierreization?" Walewski asked curiously.

"It just depends on everyone thinking that they will betray themselves and then gradually fall into madness!" Jerome Bonaparte explained.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Duke Golitsyn has become more and more fond of being alone since some time ago, and he is often mysterious and doesn't know what to do!" Walewski told Jerome Bonnet. Tomoe replied.

Jérôme Bonaparte's expression immediately became solemn. He remembered the prankster King Daxi in his previous life. This man also gradually became a god after entering Sichuan, and then began to slaughter Sichuan crazily!

"We have to do something!" Jerome Bonaparte muttered quietly. He did not want to see Valewski fall into the situation of King Daxi so soon.

The civil war in the Russian Empire must at least be similar to the civil war in Soviet Russia. If Alexander II ends the battle too quickly, it will be easy to turn his attention to the west again.

"Walewski, what do you think we can do?" Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to Walewski and asked.

After Walewski thought for a moment, he replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I think we should provide appropriate support to Duke Golitsyn!"

"But Golitsyn has no extra money!" Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and replied to Valewsky, "We have completely emptied the remaining gold in the Russian Empire's treasury. !”

"Your Majesty, there are still a large number of cultural relics in Russia!" Valewski replied violently to Jerome Bonaparte.

After listening to Valewski's words, Jérôme Bonaparte patted his head and responded to Valewski: "Look at my memory, there are still many valuable things in Russia!"

"Your Majesty, do we want to trade with them directly or..." Valewski asked Jerome Bonaparte again.

"Of course through middlemen! I think the Kingdom of Sweden is a good choice!" Jerome Bonaparte replied decisively.

He planned to use Sweden as a middleman to transport some of the artillery to Golitsyn.

Jerome Bonaparte did not believe that Golitsyn, who had artillery, could fail again.

"I understand!" Walewski nodded in response.

"By the way, I remember that there are still former Hungarian officers living in France!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Valewski again.

"Yes!" Walewski nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"You send people to negotiate with them quietly and ask them to go and support Golitsyn! They are just going to support in the name of volunteers, and the empire has no idea!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Wallefs again Key gave the order.

"Understood!" Walewski replied.

…

After explaining the matter of supporting the Golitsyn government, Jerome Bonaparte communicated with Valewski on other issues.

Walewski told Jérôme Bonaparte that he had been informed by the ambassador from the Kingdom of Britain that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would visit the French Empire in late August for exchanges.

To put it bluntly, the Victoria couple came here for fun.

"Finally! I thought they weren't even ready to come!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded lightly, "Tell Victoria and Albert for me that Queen Augusta and I are welcome. They’re coming!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Walewski nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"By the way, when is Maximilian's coronation scheduled?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Valewski.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the coronation of Archduke Maximilian in Galicia will take place at the end of September, and the coronation in Warsaw is planned to take place in October. You only need to go to Warsaw in October. Got it!"
