Regardless of the Russian Empire, Valette's diplomatic strategy in relation to Constantinople was flawless, using France's power in the Mediterranean to pressure the Ottoman Empire to submit to the French government, and then gradually encroaching on the Ottoman Empire into a vassal state of France.

During this period, there must have been a long diplomatic tug-of-war between France and the Ottomans, and as long as they grasped the size, they could gradually favor the French government without irritating the Russian Empire. After all, France and the Ottomans are also long-standing allies, the Blasphemous Alliance during the Bourbon period, and the "Russian Alliance" during the First Empire.

Although the French Empire and the Ottoman Empire were somewhat unhappy during the restoration of the Bourbon and Orleans kingdoms, the interests between the states would make the Ottoman Empire abandon the Russian Empire and join the French Empire, and the process may be a little longer.

But Jérôme. Bonaparte and De. In any case, Ruiz and the others did not expect that the Ottoman Empire could kneel so quickly, and they even completely ignored the attitude of the Russian Empire.

The Ottoman Empire's swift slip of the knees allowed the French Empire to gain jurisdiction over the Holy Land, a power that was like a hot potato for the French Empire and Jérôme. At the same time, Bonaparte's prestige also forced the French Empire to face the Russian Empire.

Of course, this is not to say that the Imperial Army of France was no match for the Russian Empire. On the contrary, the current French Empire, both in terms of army structure and firepower, can completely lift up and fight the Russian Empire, which has never been fully equipped and whose firepower is still stuck in the pre-Napoleonic Wars.

However, Jérôme. Bonaparte understood that the real enemy of France was never the Russian Empire, but the Kingdom of Prussia, which stayed next door to his house, and the Kingdom of Britain across the Channel.

Whenever Jérôme. Bonaparte recalled the million-strong army mobilized by Prussia in 1870, and he wished to kill the Kingdom of Prussia now.

However, the Kingdom of Prussia never did anything to trample on the peace of Europe. Nor could Bonaparte directly beat the Kingdom of Prussia for no reason.

Otherwise, the nations would recall the fear of being dominated by the First Empire, and quickly form an anti-French coalition, which awaited only destruction.

The Austro-Prussian War two years earlier (in 1850) was nothing more than an appetizer to weaken Prussia, and today the Kingdom of Prussia has been completely transformed into a state under the authority of an autocratic monarchy. At the instigation of Bonaparte, the inhabitants of the Rhineland, which was under the absolutist monarchy, began to reminisce about the good of the French Empire, and many Rhineland Germans who could not bear the oppression of the Prussian soldiers had fled to Strasbourg in droves.

By the end of 1852, the Strasbourg region had received nearly 50,000 "fellow Germans".

The topic is far away, Jérôme. Bonaparte's reform of the army against the Kingdom of Prussia and the reform of the navy against Britain were already well underway. If you start fighting now, Jérôme. Bonaparte was afraid that it would affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

The staff system of the corps, divisions, brigades, and regiments is still in the stage of running-in.

"Your Majesty, the Russian Empire probably won't give us so much time!" Morality. Ruiz said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "It is very likely that they will make a big move in the near future!" ”

"That's what I thought, too!" Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed slightly, and then asked Des. "Is there any way to buy more time?" ”

Morality. Ruiz lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head again and replied: "Your Majesty, it is now possible to alleviate the problem only by transferring Valette back from the post of ambassador of Constantine!" ”

"Bring Valette back?" Jérôme. Bonaparte muttered quietly.

For Duc. Lyce's proposal for Jérôme. Bonaparte had some intentions, and only the transfer of Valette, the master of the arch, from Constantinople could ease the situation.

However, Jérôme. Bonaparte still has some concerns about the current public opinion.

Now that the clergy in Paris have regarded Wright as the first contributor to the "reconquest" of the Holy Land, if it is not handled well, it will cause a backlash from the clergy class. Bonaparte's prestige was also undermined.

"So be it! You send someone to ask Valette! Would he like to serve as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of France to Britain? If you do, go now! "Jérôme. Bonaparte decided to transfer Valette from Constantinople by moderate means.

In terms of administrative rank and importance, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of France to Britain is the highest of all ambassadors, and is surpassed only by the current Minister of Foreign Affairs, Des. Ruiz.

Once a virtue. Luis was also appointed French ambassador to Britain when he was appointed by Jérôme. Bonaparte was promoted to Foreign Secretary.

It has been almost three years since he occupied this position. Bonaparte did not believe that Valette's faith could withstand the corruption of real money.

"Yes!" Morality. Ruiz immediately nodded in agreement with this decision, and then added: "Your Majesty, the next ambassador to Constantinople ......"

"I'm going to put Valewski in the role!" Jérôme. Bonaparte v. De. Ruiz replied.

Morality. A flash of loss flashed in Ruiz's eyes, and he originally wanted to ask Jérôme. Bonaparte recommended the person he liked. Now that the emperor already has a favorite candidate, he doesn't have to talk too much.

"His Excellency Valewski has ample diplomatic experience and is indeed a qualified candidate!" Standing in the position of the Foreign Secretary. Ruiz is impartial about Valewski.

"With your words, I'm relieved!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled pleasantly.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and De. After another brief conversation about the situation in Europe, Rüyce said that Jérôme had a brief conversation about the situation in Europe. Bonaparte personally put De. Ruiys was sent away from the Tuileries Palace.

Eye-to-des. After Luis left the Tuileries Palace, Jérôme. Bonaparte put away his smile and turned to a serious expression, and then he ordered Mocal to call Valewski, who was idle at home, back to the Tuileries Palace.

Ever since Valewski returned to Paris to deliver his mission, he has spent his days wandering around the opera houses like an idle man with nothing to do.

The former post of secretary has been given to the Keeper of the Seals, Molny, and from Jérôme Murney. Bonaparte's attitude seemed to show that he did not want to hand over the secretary's office to himself again.

This made Valewski's will a little depressed, and wandering around the opera house all day was already his only pleasure.

On this day, Valevsky was still watching the play in the opera box, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the box.

"Please come in!" Valewski said lightly.

"Mr. Valewski, Your Majesty asked you to come over now!"

Mokal's voice reached Valewski's ears, and Valewski immediately regained his strength, and he hurriedly got up and responded to Mokal: "I'll go now!" ”

With that, he went with Mocal to the Tuileries Palace.

Valewski, who had just stepped into the study with half a foot, heard the words of Jérôme in the study. Bonaparte's voice: "Cousin, do I need your help?" ”

Jérôme at this time. Bonaparte was signing with his head bowed, his desk once again piled up with documents to be signed.

Valevsky hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied respectfully: "I am willing to serve you!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced up at Valewski, who was still standing at the door, and stretched out his hand to sign: "Come and sit!" ”

Valevsky hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte sat down in front of him.

"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte, while sorting out the papers, said to Valewski: "I want you to go to Constantinople and be the ambassador there!" I don't know what you think? ”

"Ambassador of Constantinople?" Valewski frowned slightly, and then asked cautiously: "I remember that Mr. Valette was not serving as ambassador there?" ”

"It's pretty well-informed!" Jérôme. Bonaparte was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face again.

The news of the Ottoman Empire's transfer of decision-making over the Holy Land to the French Empire spread only in religious circles, and the non-religious sphere and underdeveloped areas rarely knew about the issue, but the Parisian high society was a relatively well-known circle, and there were a large number of religious people in it.

So Walewski was able to know the news both in Jérôme. Bonaparte's expectation was unexpected, but it also made sense.

"Lately, I've been going to the opera house a lot, and I've learned a little bit about the Holy Land!" Valevsky to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained.

"Now that you know everything, I'll explain it again!" Jérôme. Bonaparte accepted Valewski's suggestion, "You have gone to Constantinople for the purpose of succeeding Valette as ambassador to Constantinople!" ”

"What do I need to do!" Valewski asked succinctly.

"Drag!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said briefly.

"Drag?" Walewski was somewhat surprised.

"That's right, drag!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and explained, "Your task is to hold back the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire so that they don't start friction as soon as possible!" The longer you delay, the more favorable our next military operation will be!

So you need to do everything you can to hold these two countries back, so that the Ottoman Empire does not submit too much to the Russian Empire, and at the same time, you need to drag the Russian Empire so that it does not start a war with the Ottoman Empire in the near future!

As long as you can do both! ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Valevsky to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured.
