Vladimirovich's statement made Jérôme. Bonaparte was sure that in the absence of the Kingdom of Prussia against the Austrian Empire, Nicholas I already felt isolated.

As the ruler of a country, although Nicholas I was far less "eloquent" than Empress Catherine, he would not play as badly as Tsar Paul.

Otherwise, Nicholas I would have not lived in Tsarskoye near St. Petersburg, but would have been lying directly in the coffin board.

In Russia, a land of coups and bloodshed, any emperor who has no means is at risk of death.

The loyal Guards would break the "imprisoned" Tsar's Village, drag the Tsar out and hang him, then pull the Crown Prince out, and support the Crown Prince's pardon after the Crown Prince issued a pardon.

This model is somewhat similar to the Janissary succession law of the Ottoman Empire next door, and coincidentally, both the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire call themselves Roman......

Throughout the European continent, the only helpers that Nicholas I could find were Britain and France.

However, Palmerston of the Kingdom of Britain did not have a friendly attitude towards Nicholas I, and the contradictions between the two sides on the Dardanelles made Nicholas I choose to win over the French Republic.

However, Nicholas I probably did not know that Jérôme. Bonaparte had already conceived the idea of teaching the Russian Empire a lesson.

"I personally hope to work with you to maintain the prosperity and stability of Europe!" Jérôme. Speaking in Vladimirovich's words, Bonaparte continued: "It's just that my term of office is only one year, after I leave office. The attitude of the next French government towards the Russian Empire is not something I can interfere with. ”

"As long as His Excellency lays the foundations for cooperation between the French Republic and the Russian Empire, then I am sure that the next President will cherish the hard-won peace! You will become a greater man than your uncle! "Vladimirovich touts Jerome hard. Bonaparte.

For Vladimirovich, as long as he can achieve his goal, let alone praise Jérôme. Bonaparte, even if he was asked to flatter the demons in hell, he would not hesitate to praise the demons as angels.

Vladimirovich also did not believe in his eternal friends, and as long as he could divide and stabilize the European countries in a short period of time, so that they could not form a stable and unified whole, then the Russian Empire could calmly do what it wanted.

Let's say some disputed land in the Near East.

Of course, just touting is not enough, Vladimirovich vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte seducted: "And His Majesty the Tsar also assures that you will receive a gift from the royal family of Romanrov when you leave office, Your Excellency." ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately pretended to be unmoved, and he sighed and said to Vladimirovich: "I don't want to covet any reward, but I want to make the French people as happy as possible." When I step down, France will be able to remember me! In that case, I'm already satisfied! ”

"What a worthy monarch!" Vladimirovich praised against his will: "If the monarch could also vote, then I believe that the French Republic would definitely choose to make you a monarch!" ”

Vladimirovich's words made Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't hold back for a moment, and he couldn't help laughing.

Vladimirovich looked at Jerome suspiciously. Bonaparte, he seems to tell stories that make people laugh.

"I remembered something glad!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stopped smiling and replied to Vladimirovich.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I have a suggestion, I wonder if Mr. Ambassador can listen to it!" ”

Then, Jérôme. Bonaparte made a point of emphasis: "It's just a suggestion!" ”

"I would love to hear from a great man!" Vladimirovich smiled at Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"I know that your majesty, Nicholas I, is plotting how to recover Constantinople!" Jérôme. As soon as Bonaparte opened his mouth, he threw a bombshell at Vladimirovich.

"We are just keeping peace in Europe!" Vladimirovich embarrassed to Jérôme. Bonaparte retorted: "The order of Europe is ......"

Before Vladimirovich could finish speaking, Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his hand to stop Vladimirovich's words: "Mr. Vladimirovich, you don't need to hide anything!" This is the dream of successive tsars of the Russian Empire, starting with Peter the Great! In 1848 you took advantage of the European revolution to occupy the two principalities of the Danube, in the name of preventing the spread of the revolution! Don't you have any interest in Constantinople? ”

Vladimirovich was silent, he did not like Jérôme . Bonaparte's straightforward speech, such a diplomatic statement, is like poking a tube in the lungs with a wooden stick.

"Mr. Vladimirovich, I am the President of the French Republic, not a diplomat! I want to be a little more honest between us, you just have to answer yes or no! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked "frankly".

"That's right! His Majesty the Tsar, there is indeed an intention to ...... "Vladimirovich affirmed Jérôme. Bonaparte's speculation, and then in defense of his own monarch: "We just want to defend the interests of the Orthodox Christians in Constantinople!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled noncommittally, and for Vladimirovich's rhetoric, he could only say that whoever believes it is a fool.

"Mr. Minister, if the appeal of the Russian Empire is Constantinople, the appeal of France is the Rhineland!" "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Vladimirovich.

Vladimirovich's face changed drastically, and he tried his best to speak in a solemn tone to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "Your Excellency, the Rhineland has been established since the Congress of Vienna, and no country can overturn this decision. ”

"What about the Treaty of London? Will the Russian Empire also abide by it? If Tsar Nicholas was willing to abide by the Treaty of London, then in order to guarantee the security of the Ottoman Empire! I hope that the Russian Empire will be evacuated from the Danube as soon as possible! "Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately retorted.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's rebuttal left Vladimirovich speechless, and Nicholas I was likewise not a man willing to abide by the treaty.

"Mr. Minister, France has no intention of overthrowing the Congress of Vienna!" In order to avoid overstimulating the British ambassador, Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately emphasized, "The appeal to the Rhineland is only a small part!" ”

Saying, Jérôme. Bonaparte summoned the attendants in the corridor and ordered them to bring a map of the study.

After a while, the squire handed the map to Jérôme. In the hands of Bonaparte.

Jérôme spreads the map on the table. Bonaparte pointed to the Saar basin on the map and said to Vladimirovich: "France wants to be able to get some compensation!" ”

"This is the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia!" Vladimirovich vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said flatly.

Judging by his expression, the partition of Prussia's territory did not seem to be a psychological burden on him.

"Chancellor Schwarzenberg has promised me!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled slyly, he wanted to sow the seeds of distrust in the Austrian Empire and the Tsar.

Sure enough, a flash of surprise flashed in Vladimirovich's eyes, and he had to report the situation to St. Petersburg.

Seeing that Vladimirovich did not move, Jérôme. Bonaparte connected the Danube principalities on the map with Bulgaria and Serbia.

"In addition to the Danube principalities, the Bulgarian region could be merged with the Serbian region into one state, and Nicholas I could appoint a person to be the king of this newly formed state! The Constantinople region needed to be fought over by Nicholas I himself, and France was to support all the claims of the Russian Empire to the Black Sea region. ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's conditions did not offend Vladimirovich's bottom line, but Jérôme. Bonaparte's reward made Vladimirovich extremely excited.

If the Republic of France were really able to support the Russian Empire, it would undoubtedly make His Majesty Nicholas I one of the greatest tsars.

Vladimirovich is confident that Nicholas I could not be unmoved either.

"Mr. Minister! If there are no accidents, I have more than a year to step down, so I need to make the French people remember me in the shortest possible time! "Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled reservedly, he tried to dispel Vladimirovich's doubts.

"You will surely become the greatest president of this country!" Vladimirovich vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed with emotion, and his heart was full of love for Jérôme. Bonaparte had a hint of goodwill.

This is a ruler who does not covet power, and compared to him our Tsar Majesty is really ......

Vladimirovich remembered the Decembrist coup d'état 25 years earlier, when he was in his early twenties and almost took part in the riots.

After the riots subsided, he saw with his own eyes that the Decembrists were being put on the execution ground and beheaded.

"I'm just trying to do as much as I can for France!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said without blushing and without a beating heart.

"Your Excellency, your suggestion is very good!" Vladimirovich vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "But this plan is really not something that one of my little ministers can decide, I need to talk to His Majesty Nicholas I of the Russian Empire!" Only with the consent of His Majesty Nicholas I will we be able to proceed with the next step of cooperation......"

"Of course! I sincerely hope that the French Republic and the Russian Empire will join hands to preserve the European order. "Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and nodded, and he said to Vladimirovich, who was already casual about the plan.

"I believe that with the joint efforts of the Russian Empire and the French Republic, the order in Europe will be able to return to stability!" Vladimirovich also responded.

After the agreement was reached, the two sides left the room together, and they entered the ball with a smile side by side, and the ministers of all countries saw it, and many of the ministers had surprised expressions on their faces.

European diplomacy is making waves again.
