"However, the previous behavior of the Russian Empire has made me deeply doubt the credibility of the Russian Empire!"

Jérôme. A nonchalant smile appeared at the corner of Bonaparte's mouth, and his tone was so careless, but it seemed to have an unquestionable momentum.

"Your Excellency the Ruling Lordship refers to ......" Vladimirovich looked at Jérôme Bonaparte with a feigned doubt, and his position did not allow him to say a bad word about the Russian Empire.

"Mr. Special Envoy, I must have forgotten!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Vladimirovich with a playful smile on his face: "Half a year ago, the agreement between the Russian Empire and the French Republic was made? ”

Vladimirovich "suddenly realized", and he hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "I'm so sorry! I forgot to explain it to you because I've been too busy lately! His Majesty the Tsar cherished the friendship of the French Republic, but he was equally unwilling to lose his friendship with the Kingdom of Prussia...... Although our Foreign Secretary agrees with your proposal, my sovereign is more concerned that all his brothers and friends in Europe will be able to get along closely......"

Vladimirovich babbled on and on a raft of diplomatic jargon, the core of which was to say that the unspoken agreement between the Russian Empire and the French Republic had gone bankrupt. However, the Russian Empire was willing to maintain good relations of friendship with the French Republic.

Jérôme, who had little hope of capturing the Rhineland diplomatically. Bonaparte was not much disappointed, and the unspoken rule in the diplomatic field is that the unsigned paper is the paper in the toilet.

The verbal agreement itself is meant to be torn up.

Moreover, even if an agreement is signed, as long as one party chooses not to recognize the agreement, it will not help the other party to say anything.

After returning to St. Petersburg, Nicholas II, after being dissuaded by his ministers, finally understood that this agreement was only unilaterally binding the Russian Republic, and immediately ordered the ministers to declare that the mutual defense agreement was null and void after consultation by the State Duma.

The invalidity of an agreement signed by a monarch under an absolute monarchy is enough to show that the so-called agreement is nothing more than a piece of paper to wipe the butt.

When an agreement is beneficial to both parties, both parties will naturally abide by it.

When the agreement is unfavorable to either party, relying on the diplomat to make the other party obey is not called diplomacy, but simply changed the name to Yuri.

Moreover, facts aside, the Russian Empire is 99% responsible for "treacherously tearing up the verbal agreement", and the French Republic is not responsible for 1%?

That being said, Jérôme. Bonaparte still sneered according to the "custom": "If every country is like the Russian Empire, then the entire European diplomatic system will probably become a dead letter." When the time comes, everyone will be proud to tear up the agreement, and the religion, morality, and order of Europe will be gone. ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte turned to a sympathetic face and continued: "I am afraid that the French Republic will have to go with the flow in the chaotic order!" (Subtext: The French Republic is likely not to force its face, just do it!) ）”

Vladimirovich, naturally, also understood Jérôme. Bonaparte's subtext, his face showed a hint of anger.

The Bonapartes are really always thinking about their glorious history.

At a time when the countries are just emerging from the whirlpool of war, and it is not the time for a head-on conflict with the French Republic, Vladimirovich and his team must choose to forbear, and only after re-establishing the broken Holy Alliance and orthodox principles can they truly contain and crush the ambitions of the French Republic.

"The Russian Empire is not opposed to the French Republic's quest to maintain European order, and we want the French Republic to become a ......pole of Europe," Vladimirovich said, trying to temporarily pacify the French Republic by accepting the French Third Republic into Europe.

But where did Vladimirovich know that in Jérôme. In Bonaparte's heart, fighting the Russians was already in the most important position.

Even if Vladimirovich blows the sky, don't want to make Jérôme . Bonaparte stopped the pace of the war against Russia, and all his actions were just to cover up the war against the Russian Empire in a few years.

Vladimirovich and Jérôme. Bonaparte had a warm and friendly conversation.

The two sides met frankly, exchanged views, and enhanced mutual understanding.

All in all, this brief meeting was meaningful.

[The reality is that Vladimirovich lies in Jérôme. Bonaparte's ensuing conversation was nothing to be discussed. It doesn't matter if it's the German question or the Near East question. Vladimirovich always talked about him left and right. 】

After the departure of the Vladimirovich envoy, Jérôme. Bonaparte called Valewski over again.

"Your Excellency!" Valevsky respectfully addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Help me get Ambassador Cowley over!" Jérôme. Bonaparte responded to Valewski.

Valevsky had a surprised expression on his face, he didn't understand what the ruling party wanted to do!

Moreover, a consul who deliberately bypassed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon a diplomatic ambassador was more or less in accordance with the rules of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Although Valewski was a little confused, he naturally followed Jérôme with all his due diligence. Bonaparte's command.

After Valevsky left, Jérôme. Bonaparte stood up and stretched his muscles, and called Mocal, the general secretary of the Tuileries Palace.

After more than two years of training, Mocal has the qualifications to take charge on his own.

If it weren't for the lack of manpower at the Tuileries Palace, Jérôme. Bonaparte had long considered transferring Mocal to a certain ministry to the post of secretary of state.

"Your Majesty!" Mocal vs Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed.

"Prepare some pastries with coffee! Remember, it's English pastry! Wait a minute, send it to the study! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Mocal.

"Yes!" Mocal obeyed orders and left.

About 15 minutes later, Mocal arrived in his study with an aluminum tray of pastries and coffee.

Leave the pastries and two steaming cups of coffee on the sofa and leave.

Jérôme. Bonaparte sat back on the couch and waited quietly for the arrival of the British ambassador, Cowley.

Not long after, Walewski entered the study with the British ambassador Cowley.

Jérôme. Bonaparte rose to greet Cowley.

"Your Excellency!" Cowley was respectful to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"You may be seated!" Jérôme. Bonaparte invited Ambassador Cauley to take a seat.

Once again, Valewski cautiously closed the door and left the study.

Cowley & Jérôme. Bonaparte sat on the sofa and Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed to the pastries on the table and said to Ambassador Cauley: "Mr. Ambassador, I hope you will be satisfied with these preparations!" ”

"Thank you so much!" Ambassador Cowley glanced at the English pastries on the table to Jérôme. Bonaparte thanked him, and then went straight to the point: "I don't know, what are you looking for me, Your Excellency?" ”

"I don't know, what do you think of the behavior of the Russian Empire in the Near East?" Jérôme. Bonaparte put away his smile and asked Ambassador Cowley with a serious expression.

"The Russian Empire maintained stability in the Near East!" Didn't find out Jérôme. Ambassador Cauley, with his Bonaparte attitude, apparently also did not speak frankly about the disgust of the Kingdom of Britain for the Russian Empire.

Diplomatic isolation has always been a taboo in the Kingdom of Britain.

"Is it true that the United Kingdom is not at all worried about the power of the Russian Empire affecting the imbalances in the Near East?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Ambassador Cowley again.

"I don't think the Russian Empire would have done anything so irrational!" Ambassador Cowley was still tactfully addressed to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Come on!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied disdainfully: "Have they done less irrational behavior? The territory of the Russian Empire was not enthusiastically supported by other peoples to the Tsar, and they volunteered to give it to Russia! ”

"Haha!" Ambassador Cauley was replaced by Jérôme. Bonaparte's "joke" amused: "Your Excellency, you may be right!" ”

"Your Excellency, Ambassador!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's tone became more and more serious: "If it is said that nearly 10 million Slavs in the Balkans launched a charge under the banner of the tsar!" By that time, will the Balkans and even Constantinople really be able to hold up? ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's words made Ambassador Cauley look serious: "I believe that the Tsar of the Russian Empire and his subjects will restrain their actions!" ”

"Restraint? When it really gets to that point, who can restrain it? Victory is at hand! The Danube Duchy is just one step away from Constantinople! "Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to preach the theory of the Russian threat to Cowley.

"Your Excellency, the United Kingdom will not interfere with the freedom of action of any country, it is the birthright of every country, but they should obey the corresponding order! If any country tries to threaten the order, then all the consequences should be borne by the corresponding country! Minister Cowley veiled in French the attitude of the United Kingdom behind him.

The attitude of the United Kingdom of Britain under the leadership of the Whigs was as early as Jérôme. Bonaparte was expected.

If the Whigs were as conservative as the Tories, then a sharp-edged guy like Palmerston would never be in the cabinet.

"France respects the diplomatic ideals of the Kingdom of Britain, and we also want to contribute to peace in Europe!" Jérôme. Bonaparte also implicitly stated that France needed to expand its influence: "We would like to have a more in-depth exchange with the Kingdom of Britain in this regard." ”

"The Kingdom of Britain welcomes the French Republic to the World's Fair!"
