"During this time, you will live here and try not to move!"

Will Konstantin. Wallewski, who had been drawn in by Klein, said to Klein.

"What is my identity now?" Konstantin who suddenly switched sides. Klein quickly got used to his current identity and asked Wallewski.

"You are now the third-level secretary of the embassy!" Valevsky immediately appealed to Konstantin. Klein said.

The third secretary is equivalent to the lowest level of existence in the entire embassy, and below the third secretary are only those servants who reside in the embassy.

Considering that the servants themselves were personnel of the National Intelligence Service, Konstantin . Klein's identity is probably the lowest in the entire embassy.

Of course, not every embassy servant is a member of the National Intelligence Service.

Thanks to Jérôme. After Bonaparte became president, he repeatedly paid attention to the situation in the Near East, which led to Marcel. Yaruger has a special interest in the Near East.

Now it seems that it is still necessary to be careful, and there is no guarantee that the traitor will be eliminated silently at a critical time.

Even Konstantin. Klein's status is a "lowly" third-level secretary, but Konstantin is still happy.

As Valewski said, he finally has a backer behind him.

With a backer, others have to be careful when they want to bully themselves.

Although Konstantin did not know what Valewski wanted him to do, he was reluctant to ask too much, believing that Valewski would tell him when the time came.

Valewski, who had recruited Konstantin, returned to the telegraph room and ordered the dispatcher to tell the Parisian side about the betrayal of France by the chargé d'affaires.

Early the next morning, a telegram from Paris came out of the telegraph room.

In addition to learning about the betrayal of the chargé d'affaires and ordering Valevsky to search for it again, the message was expressed in the hope that Valevsky would try to maintain the balance between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire.

By cable, Valewski guessed that the death of the chargé d'affaires was most likely the work of Paris.

If it was really Paris, then he would have to be careful in the future

As soon as Valevsky finished reading the telegram, he was immediately told by his servants that Menshikov wanted to see him.

"Menshikov? Wasn't he supposed to be at the welcoming ceremony? Why did you suddenly come here? Valevsky muttered triumphantly to himself.

When Valevsky's voice was heard by the telegraph operator on the side, the telegraph operator explained: "Your Excellency, the time for the welcome ceremony is at night! ”

"Look at my memory!" Valevsky couldn't help but pat himself on the head.

Immediately, Valewski urged the servants: "What are you doing in a daze! Invite Prince Menshikov in! ”

"Yes!" The servant quickly descended the stairs after receiving the order, and Valevsky also slowly descended the stairs.

Menshikov and Valevsky, two men in their 30s, met in the embassy room.

The two shook hands with each other and sat down on two sofas of different colors, with Valevsky appearing to have a reddish-brown woolen cushion sofa underneath and Menshikov a blue woolen cushion sofa underneath his buttocks.

"I deeply regret what happened recently in France!" As soon as he sat down, Menshikov immediately dissociated himself from the chargé d'affaires.

"Huh? The Russian Empire is still very well informed! Valewski smiled playfully, and said in a slightly yin and yang manner: "I seriously doubt that our embassy has an internal response to your country!" ”

"How is this possible! We, the Russian Empire, will definitely not do such a thing! Menshikov smiled wryly and quickly vetoed Valewski's idea.

Sending spies to other people's embassies would really be a diplomatic crisis if they were to be discovered.

Moreover, Menshikov did not believe that the members of the "Third Section", who were experts in the civil war and outsiders in the foreign war, could install an internal response in the French embassy.

"And what does the Russian Empire mean by recent events?" Valevsky walked closely at Menshikov.

Menshikov, who was already not good at diplomacy, was forced by Valevsky to admit quickly: "I do know something about France from other sources." ”

Immediately, as if hiding his ears and stealing the bell, he added: "But it is definitely not from the inside of the embassy!" ”

"Then the Russian Empire must also know the foreign policy of France towards the Near East!" Valewski simply didn't sell it, he asked bluntly.

"Definitely! I've heard of it! Menshikov nodded, then continued: "Personally, I believe that the French Empire should stand with the Russian Empire, and let us join hands to preserve the glory of the Holy Land. I can assure you that your interests in the Holy Land will not be violated in any way, and that the Russian Empire will fight for the interests of Orthodoxy and Catholicism! ”

"If the Russian Empire is only a matter of religion, then the French Empire welcomes a certain discussion of differences between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire!" Valewski first agreed with Nicholas I to preserve the power of the Orthodox Church, and then changed his tune: "If the Russian Empire is to occupy the Russian Empire on the grounds of religion, then the French Empire will have to consider attacking the Russian Empire!" ”

Menshikov's apparent intention to interfere with the Ottoman Empire made Menshikov a bit of a stumbling block, he was not afraid of the Ottoman Empire, but he was afraid of the French Empire.

"Ambassador Valewski, I beg your pardon!" Menshikov stressed to Valevsky: "If two army "powers" collide together, there will be a lot of casualties. This does not do any good to either of our countries! ”

"It's really no good!" Valewski nodded and replied, "But this is not a reason for the strong to bully the weak. If all the great powers did the same, peace and order in Europe would be wiped out in the first place. ”

"The Russian Empire came only for the liberation of the Slavic peoples, and the Slavs had already suffered humiliation under Ottoman enslavement! We must defend the interests of the Slavs! Menshikov said in a tough tone.

Valewski also pointed to Maimang: "The liberation of your country seems to me to be nothing but an act of aggression!" ”

Looking at the French Empire envoy in front of him, who was not to be outdone, Menshikov almost couldn't control his temper and declared war on France.

Thinking of the fleet that could be mobilized at any time behind Valevsky, Menshikov repressed the impulse.

"What should the Russian Empire do to convince the French Empire that we are coming with peace!" Menshikov asked Valevsky word for word.

"We hope that Prince Paskevich, who is stationed in the principality of Wallachia, will withdraw to Bessarabia, the occupation of the Danube principality by the Russian Empire can already be counted as an act of aggression!" Valevsky said to Menshikov.

"The withdrawal of the Russian Imperial Army to Bessarabia?" Menshikov couldn't believe his ears.

"That's right! The troops of the Russian Empire must be withdrawn! In this way, France will believe that the Russian Empire is coming with sincerity! Once again, Valewski responded with a tough attitude.

"No! His Majesty the Tsar will definitely not agree to withdraw! Menshikov shook his head and replied to Valevsky.

"In that case, let's take a look at who is more powerful, the fleet of the Russian Empire or the fleet of the French Empire!" Valevsky made a direct threat to Menshikov.

"Don't forget! The Kingdom of Britain is the overlord of the seas in this world! Menshikov also counter-threatened Valevsky.

"I admit that Britain's maritime power far exceeds that of the French Empire, but they will also fight for peace in Europe like the French Empire!" In Valewski's mouth, the Second French Empire had been in love with peace since its early days.

"I'm afraid that the British cabinet wants to dismember the Ottoman Empire as much as the Russian Empire!" Menshikov responded to Valevsky.

"Then we'll just wait and see!" Without much explanation, Valewski replied with a smile on his face.

There is no doubt that the Russian Empire and the French Empire were really at the tip of the needle on the question of the Ottoman Empire, and neither was willing to back down half a step.

After Menshikov left, Valewski went to the Home Secretary's office and told the Home Secretary that he no longer needed to look for the Chargé d'Affaires and that France would not pursue the disappearance of the Chargé d'Affaires in Constantinople.

In the midst of the Interior Minister's thanks, Valevsky left the Interior Minister's office.

On the other hand. Menshikov, who returned from the French embassy, also held his anger.

When the Russian ambassador to Ottoman asked Menshikov if he should change into a formal suit for the welcoming ceremony, Menshikov rudely interrupted the ambassador: "I will never compromise for the sake of a decaying empire, absolutely not!" ”

The ambassador was silent, his heart believing that Menshikov had been taken over by his own anger.

That evening, Menshikov, dressed in his modest attire, arrived in an embassy carriage to the palace where the Ottoman Caliphate Sultan lived and ruled.

The carriage parked at the foot of the onion steps slowly opened, and Menshikov walked step by step from the steps to the interior of the palace.

This time included the Ottoman Sultan Abdul. All the members of the High Sect and the religious leaders, including Mejid I, wore their own proper attire.

Menshikov's outfit looked out of place in this solemn court.

"Hello, Prince Menshikov! I am the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Ottoman Empire, Fouad. Effendi! "Fouad. Effendi stood on Menshikov's side, and he reached out to shake Menshikov's hand politely.

Menshikov glanced contemptuously and did not agree with Fouad. Effendi shakes hands.

"I will never shake hands with anyone who hates the Russian Empire!"
