Make France Great Again

Chapter 439 Heading to the Bosporus

"So Ambassador Canning, let's take action now!"

Although Walewski was very excited in his heart to achieve complete cooperation between Britain and France, he still put on a calm face and spoke to Canning unhurriedly.

"Yes!" Ambassador Canning nodded to Valewski, then stood up and left the French Embassy.

"Klein, please help me give Ambassador Canning a ride!" Seeing that Canning was about to leave the French Embassy, ​​Walewski immediately said to Klein.

"Yes!" Klein responded quickly, and then personally sent Canning out of the embassy.

Just when Canning was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Klein.

Klein was slightly startled by Canning's sudden gaze, and then smiled kindly at Canning.

"You're very good!" Canning nodded, said something inconsistent, and left the French Embassy in a carriage.

Klein returned to the French Embassy again. When he entered the embassy lobby again, Valewski, who was originally sitting on the sofa in the lobby, was no longer there.

Upon seeing this, Klein immediately went to the telegraph office on the second floor of the embassy, ​​where Klein met Walewski again.

At this time, Walewski was standing behind the two telegraph operators, speaking to the telegraph operators word for word the message to be sent to Paris.

The dispatcher held the pen and lowered his head, dutifully recording everything Walewski said on his notepad.

When Walewski finished speaking, the reporter wrote down the words and sent them to Paris.

At this point, the only sound in the room was the sound of telegraphs being sent.

In this extremely quiet environment, Klein did not dare to breathe and quietly waited for the telegram to be sent.

When the telegraph operator pressed the last "tick" note, he released his hand from the dot key and turned to nod at Walewski.

Walewski naturally understood what Klein meant. He also nodded to the telegraph operator and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then, Valewski also turned to look at Klein and said, "Canning is gone?"

"Let's go!" Klein immediately replied to Valewski.

"Then did he leave any words?" Valewski asked Klein again.

"That's not true!" Klein shook his head first, and then added: "However, he did say something very inexplicable!"

"Oh? What are you talking about?" Valewski said.

"He told me, I'm fine!" Klein scratched his head and said to Valewski.

"That guy Canning seems to have discovered something!" Walewski murmured softly.

"Ah?!" Klein had a surprised expression on his face, and then said in a slightly nervous voice: "Then he..."

"What are you thinking about?" Walewski shook his head, patted Klein's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry! I guess he just saw some abnormalities, and there is no conclusive evidence. You also Don’t be nervous! Besides, we have the French Empire and His Majesty the Emperor behind us, so what do you have to be afraid of!”

After hearing Walewski's explanation, Klein realized that he was no longer the original self without any background. With the French Empire on his back, he didn't need to be as afraid of this and that as before.

"Then will our penetration into Syria continue?" Klein asked Valewski again.

"Why not?" Walewski responded to Klein: "We not only need to infiltrate Syria, but also infiltrate Baghdad and let their pashas oppose the Ottoman Empire!"

"Sir, what is the purpose of our doing this? Isn't the French Empire an ally of the Ottoman Empire?" Klein asked Wallefs doubtfully.

"Child, countries can only use each other, and there are no eternal allies!" Walewski, like the godfather of the underworld, said to Klein earnestly: "The reason why we are willing to unite with the Kingdom of Britain , because neither of our countries is willing to see the Russian Empire occupy the Near East, so the Ottoman Empire has become the target of our wooing. When the threat from Russia is over, the Ottoman Empire will once again become the target of the European powers. . And all of this must prioritize the interests of the country."

"I understand!" Klein nodded to Valewski in response, and then added: "However, I don't understand why the empire wants to take action against Baghdad! As far as I know, there is nothing there except sand. !”

Gu Dong/span "I don't know about that!" Walewski shook his head and said to Klein: "However, this order was issued by the Emperor himself, so we only need to resolutely implement it. !”

Before the internal combustion engine was invented, no one would pay attention to the black "gold mines" buried under the soil in the Middle East.

It was precisely because of this that Jérôme Bonaparte issued an order to Valewski and others to control this land at all costs.

Valewski also took a fancy to Klein's amazing language talent and bright mind, so he made an exception and made him the third-level secretary of the embassy, ​​specializing in work on Syria and Iraq.

Klein lived up to expectations and went to the Baghdad area, using the local pasha to reach an arms deal with the "rebels."

However, Canning seemed to notice something strange about Klein's action.

Fortunately, with Walewski's endorsement, Klein felt a little more relaxed.

On the other hand, Canning, who returned to his home embassy in a carriage from the French embassy, ​​immediately sent a message to the British government about the destruction of the Ottoman navy.

After sending the message, Canning did not stop too much at his embassy and headed to the port of Constantinople.

Then, he took a fast ship from the port of Constantinople and traveled through the stars and nights, and finally arrived at the Mediterranean Fleet Headquarters in Malta that night.

"Lieutenant General Dundas! I now order your troops to set off for the Bosporus immediately!" Canning, who had just stepped into the headquarters, hurriedly issued an order to the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, James Dundas.

"Your Excellency Ambassador, what happened?" James Dundas asked Canning doubtfully.

"That's it!" Canning told James Dundas the news of the annihilation of the Ottoman Empire.

James Dundas showed an expression of disbelief and asked Canning again: "Sir Canning, is there an error in the intelligence? As far as I know, the strength gap between the Ottoman Empire's fleet and the Russian Empire's fleet is It’s not obvious. Even if the Ottoman Empire’s navy is defeated, there is absolutely no reason for the entire army to be annihilated. I wonder if this is the Ottoman Empire’s intention to exaggerate its own crisis in exchange for our help!”

"No! It won't!" Canning shook his head and responded to James Dundas: "The person who told me this was the naval advisor sent by the British Kingdom to the Ottoman Empire! He saw with his own eyes the Ottoman Empire fleet was destroyed by Russia The entire empire has been annihilated! There are only a few broken ships left in the Ottoman Empire now, and they are no match for the Russian Empire!"

"Since he is our country's naval advisor, has he told the Ambassador what method the Russian Imperial Navy used to defeat the Ottoman Empire fleet?" James Dundas asked Canning again.

Canning relayed all of Slade's words to Lieutenant General James Dundas.

"So that's it!" Lieutenant General James Dundas breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded in agreement: "If it is a bomb, then everything will be explained! The Russian Empire can only take advantage of its unpreparedness, Only then can the sneak attack succeed! In the final analysis, it was the Ottoman Empire itself that neglected to take precautions that caused the problem. If it had been our fleet, then such a situation would definitely not have happened!"

"Lieutenant General Dundas! Now is not the time to discuss who is responsible. We must give those people some confidence... I know those people in the high-level government very well. Once the news comes! Those guys will definitely think about it. Negotiate peace with the Russian Empire!" Canning said to James Dundas.

"Your Excellency, Ambassador, I don't understand and I don't want to understand political issues!" James Dundas said to Canning with a serious face: "I just need to understand what we are going to do! It is to help the Ottoman Empire annihilate the Russian Empire. fleet, or is it just a matter of simply ensuring the security of the Ottoman Empire’s own territory!”

"After all, the Kingdom of Britain has not declared war on the Russian Empire, so we cannot conflict with the Russian Empire, so the purpose of this mission is to protect the territory of the Ottoman Empire!"

"Then do we still need to summon our fleet in Greek waters?" James Dundas asked Canning again.

Since the attempted small-scale conflict between Britain and France, a small part of the British Mediterranean Fleet, led by Adjutant Edmond Leon, has stayed in Greek waters.

Although this small part of the Mediterranean fleet is nominally resting in Greece, it is actually to monitor the French fleet in the Mediterranean. Find bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com

"Of course!" Ambassador Canning responded to James Dundas: "This time we must unite with France to jointly safeguard the maritime security of the Ottoman Empire!"

"Yes!" James Dundas immediately responded to Canning.

Subsequently, James Dundas sent a steam speedboat to the Kingdom of Greece to inform the Mediterranean Fleet of the news.

When the envoys arrived, they found that the British fleet was already ready to go.

After inquiry, it was discovered that it was the French Ambassador Valewski who had arrived here in advance and informed the local members of the British Fleet about the alliance.

Then, he led the French fleet to inform the Bosporus in advance.
