Make France Great Again

Chapter 301 France and Britain collaborate?

"However, the Russian Empire's previous behavior makes me deeply doubt the credibility of the Russian Empire!"

A vague smile appeared on the corner of Jérôme Bonaparte's mouth. His tone was so casual, but there seemed to be an unquestionable momentum.

"Your Majesty the Consul is referring to..." Vladimirovich looked at Jerome Bonaparte pretending to be confused. His position did not allow him to say a bad word about the Russian Empire.

"Mr. Special Envoy, has he forgotten?" Jerome Bonaparte said to Vladimirovich with a joking smile on his face: "As early as half a year ago, the agreement between the Russian Empire and the French Republic was made?"

Vladimirovich "suddenly realized" and he hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "I'm really sorry! Regarding this matter, I forgot to explain it to you because I have been too busy recently! His Majesty the Tsar cherishes the friendship of the French Republic , but also unwilling to lose the friendship with the Kingdom of Prussia... Although our Foreign Minister agrees with your proposal, my monarch is more concerned about the fact that all brothers and friends in Europe can get along closely..."

Vladimirovich rattled off a lot of diplomatic terms, the core of which was that the tacit agreement previously signed between the Russian Empire and the French Republic had gone bankrupt. However, the Russian Empire was still willing to maintain good friendly relations with the French Republic.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who didn't have much hope of seizing the Rhineland through diplomatic means, was not very disappointed. The unspoken rule in the diplomatic field was that unsigned paper was the paper in the toilet.

Oral agreements are meant to be broken.

Furthermore, even if an agreement is signed, as long as one party chooses not to recognize the agreement, it will be useless no matter what the other party says.

The future Nicholas II was deceived by his cousin Wei Weixiao and signed a mutual defense agreement between Germany and Russia in the German Empire. After returning to St. Petersburg, Nicholas II finally understood this after being discouraged by his ministers. The agreement only unilaterally bound the Russian Republic, and the ministers were immediately ordered to declare that the mutual defense agreement had been negotiated by the State Duma and was an invalid agreement.

To declare the agreement signed by the monarch invalid under an absolute monarchy is enough to show that the so-called agreement is nothing more than a piece of paper used to wipe the butt.

When an agreement is beneficial to both parties, both parties will naturally abide by the agreement.

When an agreement is unfavorable to either party, relying on diplomats to convince the other party to obey is no longer diplomacy. It might as well be called Yuri.

Furthermore, facts aside, the Russian Empire is 99% responsible for "treachery" and breaking the verbal agreement. Doesn't the French Republic have 1% responsibility?

Having said that, Jérôme Bonaparte still followed "usual practice" and sneered: "If every country is like the Russian Empire, then the entire European diplomatic system will probably become a piece of paper. By then. At that time, everyone would be proud to tear up the agreement, and Europe's religion, morality and order would be gone."

Jérôme Bonaparte turned to show a compassionate face and continued: "I'm afraid the French Republic will have to drift with the chaos in the chaotic order! (Subtext: The French Republic will probably not show off, and just start studing!)"

Vladimirovich naturally understood the subtext of Jerome Bonaparte, and his face showed a hint of sullenness.

The Bonaparte family is really thinking about their glorious history all the time.

At present, various countries have just struggled out of the whirlpool of war, and it is not the time for a head-on conflict with the French Republic. Vladimirovich and the others must choose to be patient. Only after re-establishing the broken Holy Alliance and orthodox principles can they be able to To truly contain and crush the ambitions of the French Republic.

"The Russian Empire does not oppose the French Republic's pursuit of maintaining the European order. We also hope that the French Republic will become a pole of Europe..." Vladimirovich tried to make a fool of himself by accepting the French Third Republic into Europe as a bait. To temporarily appease the French Republic.

However, Vladimirovich did not know that in Jerome Bonaparte's heart, fighting the Russians was already ranked as the most important.

Even if Vladimirovich boasts a lot, don't let Jerome Bonaparte stop the war against Russia. All his actions are just to cover up the war against the Russian Empire in a few years.

Vladimirovich had a warm and friendly conversation with Jerome Bonaparte.

The two parties met candidly, exchanged views, and enhanced their understanding of each other.

All in all, this brief meeting was meaningful.

[The reality is that nothing was agreed upon in the subsequent conversation between Vladimirovich and Jerome Bonaparte. Whether it is the German question or the Near East question. Vladimirovich always talks about him. 】

After Special Envoy Vladimirovich left, Jerome Bonaparte called Valewski over again.

"Your Majesty the Consul!" Valewski responded respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Help me call Ambassador Cowley over!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Valewski.

Walewski had a surprised expression on his face. He didn't understand what the governor wanted to do!

Furthermore, it is somewhat inconsistent with the rules of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a consul to deliberately bypass the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and summon the diplomatic ambassador.

Although Walewski was slightly confused, he naturally followed Jérôme Bonaparte's orders dutifully.

After Valewski left, Jérôme Bonaparte stood up to stretch his muscles and called Mokar, the chief steward of the Tuileries Palace.

After more than two years of training, Mokar has become qualified to stand alone.

If the Tuileries Palace were not short of manpower, Jérôme Bonaparte would have long considered transferring Mokar to the position of Secretary of State in a certain department.

"Your Majesty!" Mokar bowed to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Prepare some pastries and coffee! Remember, these are English pastries! Wait, send them to the study!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Mokar.

"Yes!" Mokar obeyed and left.

About 15 minutes later, Mokar came to the study carrying an aluminum tray with pastries and coffee.

Place the pastries and two cups of steaming coffee on the sofa and leave.

Jerome Bonaparte sat back on the sofa and waited quietly for the arrival of British Ambassador Cowley.

Not long after, Walewski entered the study with British Ambassador Cowley.

Jérôme Bonaparte stood up to greet Cauley.

"Your Majesty the Consul!" Cowley said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Please take a seat!" Jérôme Bonaparte invited Ambassador Cowley to take a seat.

Valewski once again carefully closed the door and left the study.

Cowley and Jerome Bonaparte were sitting on the sofa. Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the pastries on the table and said to Ambassador Cowley: "Mr. Ambassador, I hope these preparations will satisfy you!"

"Thank you very much!" Ambassador Cowley glanced at the British pastries on the table to express his gratitude to Jérôme Bonaparte, and then went straight to the point and said: "I don't know, why did you come to me, Your Excellency?"

"I don't know, what do you think of the behavior of the Russian Empire in the Near East?" Jerome Bonaparte put away his smile and turned to ask Ambassador Cowley with a serious expression.

"The Russian Empire has maintained the stability of the Near East!" Ambassador Cowley, who had not understood Jérôme Bonaparte's attitude, obviously would not confess the British Kingdom's dislike of the Russian Empire.

Diplomatic isolation has always been a taboo for the British Kingdom.

"Does it mean that the United Kingdom is not worried at all that the power of the Russian Empire will affect the imbalance in the Near East?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Ambassador Cowley again.

"I think the Russian Empire will never do something so irrational!" Ambassador Cowley still responded to Jerome Bonaparte tactfully.

"Come on!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded disdainfully: "Have they done enough irrational behavior? The territory of the Russian Empire was not given to Russia by other nations who enthusiastically supported the Tsar and volunteered their land!"

"Haha!" Ambassador Cowley was amused by Jérôme Bonaparte's "joke": "Your Excellency, you may be right!"

"Your Excellency Ambassador!" Jerome Bonaparte's tone became more serious: "If nearly ten million Slavs in the Balkans launched a charge under the banner of the Tsar! By that time, the Balkans and even Constantinople Can it really hold up?"

Jerome Bonaparte's words made Ambassador Cowley show a serious expression: "I believe that the Tsar of the Russian Empire and his subjects will restrain their behavior!"

"Restraint? Who can restrain himself if we really get to that point? Victory is at hand! The Danube Principality is only one step away from Constantinople!" Jerome Bonaparte continued to promote the Russian threat theory to Cowley .

"Your Excellency, the United Kingdom will not interfere with the freedom of movement of any country. This is the inherent right of every country, but they should abide by the corresponding order! If any country attempts to If it threatens order, then all consequences should be borne by the corresponding country!" Minister Cowley expressed the attitude of the United Kingdom behind him in French in a subtle way.

The attitude of the United Kingdom under the leadership of the Whig Party had already been expected by Jérôme Bonaparte.

If the Whigs were as conservative in foreign policy as the Tories, then a sharp-edged guy like Palmerston would never appear in the cabinet.

"France respects the diplomatic philosophy of the British Kingdom, and we also hope to contribute to European peace!" Jérôme Bonaparte also implicitly expressed the need for France to expand its influence: "In this regard, we hope to work together with There is a deeper communion in the British kingdom.”

"The Kingdom of Britain welcomes the French Republic to the World's Fair!"
