"Have you forgotten the will of Peter I? Do you need me to re-add the content and recite it to you? ”

Napoleon was very disdainful of the Foreign Minister's suggestion of pulling the Russians into the game. Russians are crazy careerists, and they will do everything they can to get cheap when they want to expand their territory. For example, the connection between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

Ottoman Turkey was already very vulnerable, and if it weren't for the support of several powerful forces behind him, Russia would have collapsed long ago and liberated Constantinople.

"The first is Russia's desire for access to the sea and ports, and given that a country with frozen seaports for many years, they need to have enough ports to support their ambitions. Russia should occupy as much Swedish territory as possible and induce it to attack us, so that we may have an excuse to conquer Sweden. To do this, we must isolate Denmark and Sweden and fuel the feud between them. So that our country is constantly expanding north along the Baltic Sea and south along the Black Sea. ”

"Then there is their desire for the South Pacific, which has also been the constant strategy of the Russian Empire for hundreds of years. Approaching Constantinople and India, whoever rules there will be the true ruler of the world. Therefore to provoke a war on the frontiers, not only in Turkey, but also in Persia. The establishment of a dock on the shores of the Black Sea and the acquisition of small plots of land near the Black Sea and on the Baltic coast are doubly necessary to realize our plans. At the time of the decline of Persia, it broke into the Persian Gulf, and if possible it was necessary to revive the ancient trade with the Levant, and advanced to India, which was the storehouse of the world. At this point, we no longer need the gold of England. ”

After explaining this paragraph, his meaning is very clear. The French will not hesitate to take a step in the Mediterranean, and if Russia is involved in the Mediterranean game, it will mean a new round of political interests, and some vested interests will be expelled from this game.

No one can tolerate such a thing.

"After these plans have been concluded, the next step for Russia is to dismember Sweden, to destroy Persia, to crush Poland, to conquer Turkey, and to defend the Black and Baltic Seas with their ships, it is necessary to make proposals, separately and in the utmost secrety, first to Versailles, and then to the Viennese court, to share with us the global empire. If one of them accepts, and it is almost certain that it will accept it as long as its ambitions and national vanities are inflamed, it can be used to subdue the other. Finally, destroy the only survivor. Since Russia already occupies all or most of Eastern Europe, there is no danger of starting a conflict. ”

"Look, a bunch of vodka and sturgeon-fed savages whose only idea is to draw the world into war. This is why almost all the great powers regard Russia only as a temporary ally, or directly as a threatening enemy. Because they are constantly thinking about how to destroy us, how to destroy everyone. ”

Since the death of Peter I, almost all Russian tsars have been following his will and have been using various methods to spread their power. If they choose to cooperate with them now and let them go from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, then it will be tantamount to luring another powerful enemy to their doorstep. When the time comes, Alexander III will not talk about helping himself, but he will not wait to follow his cousins to take care of the partition of France.

"If Russia wants to gain rights and interests in the Mediterranean, it will inevitably challenge our sea power. After the iron box that trapped the beast was broken, the monsters that invaded the Mediterranean would never take a step back. ”

Europe will not know that a few decades later, a man named Vladimir, led the cruiser Aurora to bombard the Winter Palace, and then forced the Tsar to abdicate.

Later, the country of the iron giants had a fleet that could rival even half of the West. Even the once supreme British Empire had nothing but fear and fear in front of him.

"The Turkish Straits, we must not open the Turkish Straits."

Napoleon repeated his previous words, continuing, "Our enemy so far is England, and the potential traitor, Germany. ”

"What if we contact the Russians and get them to create a dispute in the Balkans?"

Originally, Napoleon did not want to continue on this topic, but when he heard Dekaz speak of creating a dispute in the Balkans, he raised his head again.

"You say it again? Create disputes in the Balkans? ”

"Yes, to create disputes in the Balkans. If our German friends don't want to lose Austria......"

Foreign Minister Dekaz gave a good suggestion, which is still equivalent to the outbreak of the First World War decades earlier.

At this time, Napoleon's mind was full of Sarajevo, Serbian radical nationalists, pistols, and other nonsense, did he want the French to secretly fund the Slavic nationalists, assassinate the Germanic emperor of Austria, and succeed in stirring up hatred?

It was not difficult for them to provoke hatred between Britain and Germany, and it was very likely that the First World War would break out. A world war in which Britain may be fighting soy sauce.

"If His Majesty Napoleon thinks there is anything wrong with my proposal, he will not take it."

Seeing that the other party was lost in thought, Dekaz thought that Na Huang was angry. He hurriedly changed his words and said, "After all, this is just my idea for a while, if it is not reliable, His Excellency the President should not have heard of it." ”

"No, no, no, this suggestion of yours is very interesting, well, really, very interesting. Allowing Russia to make a move on the Slavic Peninsula would eventually involve Austria-Hungary. If the Russian Empire had not withdrawn from the First World War, it is not known what kind of expansion their territory would have achieved after the end of the war. ”

If something happens in the Balkans, Germany will definitely not sit idly by. If they were to find themselves in a bitter war with France, Russia would take advantage of the situation and occupy their territory to the northeast. Advancing from East Prussia, in the end it is possible that even Berlin will not be saved. The situation of being caught between the front and back will expose them to a huge threat.

Napoleon was muttering something to himself that Dekaz did not understand, and he could only stand aside and wait until the other man's thinking was over.

Eventually, Napoleon exhaled deeply and said, "I know how to pull Russia in." ”

"Bring the bear into the room, and we will have a wonderful battle between the Slavic bear and the Eagle of the Iron Cross."
