Make France Great Again

Chapter 417 The conflict between France and Russia worsens

"Dear Your Majesty! Although there are certain differences between the French Empire and the Russian Empire on certain issues, I believe that as long as both sides uphold the concept of peace, the misunderstanding will eventually be resolved!"

The Russian ambassador, who smelled the smell of war, hurriedly persuaded Jerome Bonaparte to give up his unspoken thoughts.

Jerome Bonaparte just glanced at the Russian ambassador and responded calmly: "The Russian Empire's actions in the Danube Principality have seriously threatened the peace and stability of the Near East, so the Russian Empire must evacuate Moldova and the Principality of Wallachia. !!”

"Evacuate?" The Russian ambassador raised his voice and responded angrily to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, no one or any country has the right to order the Russian Imperial Army to evacuate from that land!"

For a pure Slavic nationalist, the liberation of the Slavic peoples restrained by the Ottoman Empire has become one of the established national policies of the Russian Empire. Even His Majesty the Supreme Tsar of the Russian Empire cannot openly deny this sacred and great cause. How can he, a small Russian ambassador, dare to openly deny it.

"Mr. Ambassador, I did not call you here today to discuss with you. The Russian Empire must evacuate the Danube Principality! If the Russian Empire has been relying on the Danube Principality and is unwilling to leave, then the French Empire will regard the Russian Empire as destroying the Near East. The culprit of peace! The French Empire will not hesitate to use all means at its disposal to maintain peace and stability in the Near East." Jérôme Bonaparte used a tough attitude to the Russian ambassador to issue an ultimatum to the Russian Empire.

Since Jerome Bonaparte threatened naked war, it means that there is basically no room for maneuver between the French Empire and the Russian Empire. Naturally, the Russian ambassador does not have to say anything in order to please the French Empire. Against your will.

"Huh!" the Russian ambassador snorted coldly and replied to Jerome Bonaparte in a sarcastic tone: "France captured Algiers from Turkey, and Britain annexed one state after another in India almost every year. These... It will not affect the balance of forces. Why did our Russian Empire interfere with the balance of forces when it temporarily occupied the Principality of Moldova and Wallachia?

The French Empire has been stationed in Rome for several years, but Europe has turned a blind eye to you. When the Russian Empire is only considering the liberation of Constantinople, you arrogantly say that we are destroying the peace of Europe.

...Britain declared war on the Qingguo people just because the Qingguo people offended them, but you didn't say anything! The Russian Empire only had friction with neighboring countries, but it had to be allowed by the entire Europe. In support of a pathetic lie, Britain threatened Greece to burn their fleet, and you continued to turn a blind eye and claim that it was a legal action. But the Russian Empire's request to sign a treaty protecting the legitimate rights of Christians was viewed by you as an expansion of power in the Near East at the expense of the balance of power.

I can't see any civilization or virtue in you. We gain nothing but blind hatred and malice.

Even so, you are still not satisfied and are still deliberately trying to restrict us, as if we have been burdened with sin since birth. "

The Russian Ambassador spoke out one by one about various cases of double standards between the British Kingdom and the French Empire in the past twenty years.

"Mr. Ambassador, which war in the Russian Empire was not aimed at expanding the land. In terms of the land that the Russian Empire has annexed in recent years, the amount of land you have annexed far exceeds that of France! You are still not satisfied. , still want to deliberately continue to annex land!" Jérôme Bonaparte also counterattacked the Russian ambassador with sharp words: "Yes! We did annex Algeria, but France also suffered the fate of the collapse of the Bourbon dynasty. And your suppression and blockade of France. We helped Pope Pius IX return to Rome, but we did not take great pains to establish a unified Italian country.

And what about you? You ask the Ottoman Empire to sign an agreement to protect Christians, just to keep the Ottoman Empire under complete control! You occupied Constantinople just to turn it into the territory of the Russian Empire!

The French Empire did not deliberately turn Rome into a city under its jurisdiction. Your expansion has been restricted, so I want to ask you, how did a Muscovy principality turn into the huge Russian Empire it is now? Where are the Polish Federation, the Crimean Khanate, and the Caucasus Khanate now? It is impossible for them to voluntarily give up their land with both hands. When you use crude means to carry out unscrupulous expansion, you should think that one day you will become the chief culprit undermining peace in Europe. "

Jérôme Bonaparte ruthlessly pointed out the greedy nature of the Russian Empire. From the establishment of the Principality of Muscovy to the present, successive tsars have done their best to squeeze their Slavic livestock to complete their desire for external expansion.

The Russian Empire has also transformed from a small and peaceful place into the lame giant that spans the Eurasian continent.

If the advanced productivity brought by the Industrial Revolution had not temporarily offset the Russian Empire's population advantage, with the Russian Empire's ability to give birth like an old sow, it wouldn't be long before they could completely overwhelm Europe with their huge population advantage.

The Napoleonic Wars can be said to be the last glory of Tsarist Russia. At that time, the musket was still a decisive factor in terms of range, accuracy and loading. In a sense, the tactics composed of bayonet charge and soldier's fanaticism were the same. The victory of this war.

Gudong/span If the Russian Imperial Army at that time is once again equipped with a commander similar to Suslov, the entire army will be invincible.

Unfortunately, the time of the Napoleonic Wars has passed. Powerful and convenient artillery and rifles with extremely high range and accuracy have changed the original rules of war.

The war began to move towards another stage - the stage of total war. For a Tsarist Russia whose industrial base was basically zero, this was undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow.

However, no one except Jerome Bonaparte fully realized that the war pattern was moving in a more bloody direction, and the gap between the French Imperial Army and the Russian Imperial Army was far wider than they themselves imagined.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte was not afraid of war with the Russian Empire from the beginning. What he was afraid of was that the French Empire would once again fall into diplomatic isolation.

The diplomatic isolation that now plagued the French Empire no longer existed. In return, the French Empire took Cyprus and Syria from the Ottoman Empire (although Rifat believes that the Ottoman Empire did not lose these two areas, but in Gérault In the eyes of M. Bonaparte, they are already in the possession of the French Empire. When the time is right, the French Empire will seize them without hesitation.), it is time to show off to the Russian Empire.

"Your Majesty, everything you said is nothing more than sophistry based on French principles!" After a long silence, the Russian ambassador once again spoke to Jerome Bonaparte and responded: "The Russian Empire will never give up on us on the Danube River. Christian brothers of the Principality and the Balkans, they are still waiting for our liberation! If you really want to drag France into a war with the Russian Empire, then we have no choice but to fight. The Russian Empire has never been afraid of war, we I just don’t want to see two civilized countries, the French Empire and the Russian Empire, fighting each other for a barbaric country!”

"It is not up to you and me to judge whether it is civilized or barbaric! All I see is that the Russian Empire is invading a country under absurd excuses!" Jérôme Bonaparte angrily denounced the Russian Empire's aggression against the Ottoman Empire, and I have long forgotten the clumsy and shameless performance that took place in the Shatori area a month ago.

"Your Majesty! Since you insist on asking for war, then I have nothing to say!" The Russian ambassador bowed slightly to Jerome Bonaparte to express his respect for France: "Then please allow me to leave here!"

Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and extended his hand. The Russian Imperial Ambassador bowed to Jérôme Bonaparte again and left the Tuileries Palace.

After the Russian ambassador left, Jérôme Bonaparte spoke again to De Luys beside him: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately conveyed the conditions proposed by France to St. Petersburg accurately, and by the way, our ambassador to Russia was asked to After delivering the important news, evacuate Russia as soon as possible! The war is about to begin!"

After receiving the order from Jérôme Bonaparte, De Ruys took action immediately.

On the other hand, the Russian ambassador who left the Tuileries Palace returned to the Russian Embassy like a zombie.

After seeing the expression of the Russian ambassador, the military attache and secretary in charge of the embassy went to Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com suddenly felt that something big was going to happen. They hurriedly came to the Russian ambassador and asked the ambassador what happened!

"Let's go!" The Russian ambassador weakly said something that seemed incomprehensible to the military attache and secretary.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?" the secretary asked the special envoy in front of him cautiously.

"I said go! Didn't you hear me clearly?" the upset Russian ambassador couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Sir, where are we going? Are we going back to the Russian Empire?" the secretary asked again.

"The French Empire has issued a warning to the Russian Empire that the war is about to begin!"
