Chapter 283: The Tsar in Action

James. Rothschild's erroneous answer hit the nail on the head. The theme of Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte, of course, did not have to "correct" James. Rothschild's mistake in politics.

Politically, if you go down the wrong path, you will die.

For people like James. Rothschild, a "good" entrepreneur, naturally will not die because of political incorrectness, and it is indispensable to pay a fine.

Since James. Rothschild Mont on Jérôme. Bonaparte's thoughts, then he naturally would not have knocked James on this issue. Rothschild.

Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled meaningfully, and his smile made James . Rothschild was so frightened that he almost wondered if he had answered the wrong question on this question.

The president's next words discouraged James. Rothschild's "crankiness": "You're right! France is committed to maintaining peace in the European region! Implement the concept of peaceful development in Europe and maintain bilateral relations and cooperation......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte used lengthy and cumbersome bureaucratic diplomatic jargon to James. Rothschild spoke his mind.

James, who is not less with diplomats on weekdays. Rothschild, of course, also understood Jérôme . Bonaparte means.

"Your Excellency, I wonder if you are interested in making some insignificant contribution to peace in Europe!" Jérôme. Bonabat was poor and dagger said.

"Of course I do!" James. Rothschild responded decisively to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

As an excellent European international banker, James . Rothschild also hated war, and the Waterloo War could be said to be an eternal pain for the entire Rothschilds.

Since then, the Rothschilds have been incarnated as messengers of peace, working to eliminate possible potential wars between the great powers.

The Greek War (1828), the July Revolution (1830), and some of the potential frictions that followed were all contributed by the Rothschilds.

James. Rothschild himself once said in the future: "War will leave the Rothschilds with nothing!" ”

From the perspective of later generations, James. Rothschild's remarks are a completely wrong idea.

"I hope that the branch of Rothschild Bank in Austria will be able to limit Felix a little. Schwarzenberg's hands-on! "Jérôme. Bonaparte pressed his temples lightly and pretended to have a headache: "Europe is like a powder keg now, as long as one side does not control it a little!" It will boom and blow Europe to pieces! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte made a bomb explosion motion with one hand and gloated in his mouth: "When the time comes, I don't know how many more crowns will fall from my head!" How many great heads have been guillotined! ”

Although said James. Rothschild was somewhat unconvinced that a full-scale war would break out in Europe because of the Prussia-Austrian war, but this did not prevent him from practicing Jérôme. Bonaparte ideas.

"When this is over, I will consider replanning the existing railway! It's up to you to do what you're capable of! "Jérôme. Bonaparte to James. Rothschild drew a visible pie.

Subjected to Jérôme before. As a result of Bonaparte's sniping, most of the Rothschilds' shares in the railroad had been sold off, and Rothschild was forced to withdraw from the reorganization of the railroad from thereafter.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's move was a clear hint that the Rothschilds could continue to make inroads into the railroad sector. Rothschild was overjoyed.

James. Rothschild hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte promised to give the Rothschild bank on the Austrian side to Felix. Schwarzenberg pressured them to conclude a peace treaty as soon as possible.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and James. After Rothschild's conversation, he invited James. Rothschild had a simple dinner at the Elysée Palace.

James. Rothschild returned to the mansion in a carriage from the Élysée Palace.

In the mansion, James. Rothschild saw Alphonse, the current president of Rothschild Bank, who was supposed to be staying at Rothschild. Rothschild, he frowned slightly: "Shouldn't you stay in the bank?" ”

"Father, I ......" Alphonse. Rothschild after meeting James. Rothschild was relieved when he returned safely, and he immediately appealed to James. Rothschild said he would be back soon.

"Wait!" James. Rothschild called out to Alphons. Rothschild and informed Alphonse about what happened at the Elysée Palace. Rothschild: "Tell the Austrian branch now through our secret channels, and ask them to cooperate!" ”

"But will they say yes?" Alphonse. Rothschild asked suspiciously.

You know, the Austrian branch and the British branch were the main forces of the original "forced palace"!

Valley/span "They will definitely cooperate!" "James. Rothschild confidently explained: "It is not in their interest to have a Germany that has been at war for a long time, and they have the same people who can stop the war between Prussia and Austria!" We are not representing ourselves, but France as a whole. They will definitely cooperate with our plans! ”

"Yes" Alphonse. Rothschild replied and left the mansion.

Right here in Jérôme. While Bonaparte was actively plotting to pour cold water on the Austro-Prussian War, William, the regent of Prussia, who had dissolved the House of Commons, was also seeking this path of self-salvation.

A letter from the hand of the regent William of Sanssouci came all the way to the case of the Russian Emperor Nicholas I through the secret channels of an ambassador.

Nicholas I, who got the letterhead, looked at the almost flattering letter of Prince Wilhelm, the regent of Prussia, and his calm face showed a rare smile, and the "perfidy" of Prussia in his heart gradually weakened under the effect of this letter, and was replaced by the "protracted" friendship between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire, and Nicholas I believed that the friendship forged between the two sides in the Napoleonic Wars would not be lost with the passage of time.

Prince Wilhelm in the letter, who addressed Nicholas I as a brother, first told Nicholas I that what Prussia had done in 1848 was a betrayal of orthodox principles, that they had done so because they had been coerced by the mob, but that his concession had been met with more unreasonable demands from the mob, and that they had decided not to compromise and dissolve the House of Commons and abolish the Prussian constitution established in 1848, hoping that Nicholas I would help them.

Later, the regent Wilhelm told Nicholas I that his brother had fallen into a coma because of the mental stimulation of the war between Prussia and Austria, and he believed that "this was God's punishment for Prussia to return to the right path"! So it was he who led Prussia to the right path.

There was no mention of mediation in the letterhead, but every act of his actions hinted at the hope that Nicholas I would rise up to mediate.

As we have said before, the foreign policy of other countries is generally guided by national interests, and then the interests of the monarch are properly taken into account.

In Russia, diplomacy was embodied by the absolute monarchy of the Russian Empire, Emperor Nicholas I, and all diplomatic actions were subject to change according to the ideas of Nicholas I.

Even before Carl. Nesherro and Felix. No matter how much effort Schwarzenberg has made, if Nicholas I had changed his mind, all their efforts would have become flowers in the moon.

Now the mind of Nicholas I has clearly begun to waver.

Nicholas I was eager to get Constantinople, but he wanted to unite the monarchies so that they could obey the dictates of the Russian Empire.

Weighing the pros and cons, Nicholas I decided to break his acquiesced promise and intervene in the Prussian-Austrian war.

But before that, Nicholas I had to find a "backbiter" who would "make" him have to break the treaty.

After thinking about it for a while, Nicholas I set his sights on sixty-five-year-old Alexander Menshikov.

[Prince Alexander Menshikov, who fought in the Russo-French War of 1812 and served as a naval general in the 1828-1829 war against Turkey, was knocked out of his testicles by a cannon shell.] As a naval officer, he was involved in the development of a plan for the blockade of the Turkish Straits and, in 1831 he was governor of Finland, and also participated in negotiations with Persia. 】

By order of Nicholas I, Alexander. Menshikov was called.

"Your Majesty!" Alexander. Menshikov saluted Nicholas I.

"Alexander, I want you to go to Prussia on my behalf, what do you think?" Nicholas I looked at Alexander with a blank face. Menshikov said.

"Absolutely!" Alexander. Menshikov replied without hesitation, and then he asked again: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you want me to do!" ”

"You will be traveling to Prussia as an envoy to see Frederick. Wilhelm IV at the same time, mediated the contradictions between Prussia and Austria! so that they could unite under the command of the Russian Empire! "Tsar Nicholas I to Alexander. Menshikov said.

"Yes!"

On November 20, Alexander. Menshikov sailed as a tsarist envoy to the Sanssouci Palace in Prussia at the pier in the port of St. Petersburg.

At the same time, Prince Paskeiewicz, who was stationed in Poland, also received a letter from Nicholas I.

The letter asked Paskeewicz to be ready to go to Berlin at any time to suppress the Berlin uprising.

Paskevich, who received the letter, complained that Nikolai I did not know how to sympathize with the soldiers, and at the same time began to mobilize.
