Chapter 409 Get off the horse
For Rifat Pasha, France's attitude towards the delegation could indirectly reflect the attitude of the French Empire towards the Ottoman Empire.
No matter how many good things the previous Ambassador Valewski said about the French Empire, it was not as true as what Rifat Pasha felt now!
After listening to Riffat Pasha's speech, Fleury, who was standing next to Rifat Pasha, immediately smiled and said to Rifat Pasha: "Your Majesty once said to me that France and Ottoman are a pair of close partners!" Although our two countries are not allies now, they have a closer relationship than ordinary allies!
In the future, the French Empire and the Ottoman Empire will need to work together to maintain peace and tranquility in the Mediterranean! ”
"That's right! That's right! Rifat Pasha bowed slightly: "France and the Ottoman Empire must unite in order to maintain peace in the Mediterranean!" ”
After the short greetings, the time gradually reached dusk, the original light blue sky has gradually become dull, as if the creator smeared a layer of gray paint, the original hanging southwest sky in the round of fiery "disk" from the west "slipped" to the west, this round of light and heat on the surface of the nourishing sphere of all things, is slowly "diving" into the bottom of the Mediterranean, the entire western sky has been covered with fiery red, the cunning moonlight in the fiery red halo looks particularly soft and weak.
Fleury looked at the scene of the alternation of the sun and the moon in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "The sunset is a natural theorem, just like the rising sun!" ”
"yes!" Although Rifat Pasha did not understand why Fleury would say such a preamble, it did not prevent Rifat Pasha from echoing it.
Because it was getting late, it was inconvenient to hurry. Fleury arranged for the Ottoman mission to a luxury hotel near the port of Marseille and sent a team of National Guard soldiers to protect the mission and prevent emergencies.
When the Ottoman delegation had settled in completely, Fleury walked out of the hotel alone.
Fleury walked through the gas-lit streets and soon reached the gate of the nearest official telegraph office.
Looking at the brightly lit telegraph office in front of him, Fleury, who was standing at the door, knocked lightly on the wooden carved door of the telegraph office.
"Who!" After a while, an impatient voice came from the room of the telegraph office. The door slowly opened, and a drunken man appeared at the gate, he looked at Fleury impatiently and said, "It's so late! What's the matter? ”
Immediately, he picked up the wine in his hand and poured it hard, and by the way, he burped at Fleury, the smell of mixed alcohol and garlic made Fleury feel uncomfortable, he frowned and looked at the guy in front of him and said, "I want to send a report!" ”
"Sending a report? Hey! The big man under the influence of alcohol staggered and waved his hand in response: "Then you can come back again during the day!" ”
"I have something urgent to report to Paris!" Once again, Fleury emphasized.
"I don't care! I say daylight is day! The drunken man said unreasonably, and at the same time pointed behind him and said, "Now I'm up here!" Whatever I say is what it is! ”
Facing the big man in front of him who didn't know what to do, Fleury couldn't hold back any longer, and he flew directly and kicked at the big man.
The big man was kicked into the house by Fleury, who also stepped into the telegraph office unhurriedly.
At this time, in addition to the strong man who was already drunk, there were 4 people in the telegraph office, and it seemed that they should also be members of the telegraph office.
The group of members of the telegraph office first looked at the uninvited guest who "broke in" in front of them with a shocked expression, and then at the strong man lying on the ground.
The strong man who was kicked on the ground also reacted, and he roared at Fleury in disbelief: "You dare to kick me!" Do you know who I am? ”
"I don't care who you are! I don't want to know who's behind you! Fleury pointed to the strong man in front of him and handed down the judgment word by word: "From now on, you are no longer from here!" ”
Fleury then pointed to one of the members who was sitting at the transmitter and said: "You will now send a telegram to Paris, which reads as follows: The Ottoman delegation has arrived at the port of Marseille without incident, and is expected to arrive in Paris tomorrow!" I hope that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can do a good job! ”
"Yes! Be! After hearing the words "Paris", "Ottoman delegation", "Ministry of Foreign Affairs", etc., the dispatcher immediately realized that the guy in front of him was probably from Paris, and he hurriedly echoed it.
On the other side, the drunk man who was half-drunk and half-awake also heard the "keyword" in Fleury's mouth, and looked at Fleury with a trembling mouth when he realized the collapse of the iron plate: "I...... I ......"
"Idiot! You just wait to be summoned by the judicial authorities! Fleury couldn't help but scold, he really didn't want to waste his energy on a fool, but some fools just didn't know how many pounds and taels they had, so they had to hit his gun.
"I'm so sorry I got drunk just now! I'm really sorry! Hearing the "judicial summons", the drunken man's face immediately turned pale, he realized that he was now in a bad situation, staggered up, he came to Fleury's side and apologized vigorously, completely lacking the momentum of flying and domineering just now.
"I said it! You just wait for the judicial summons! It's not just you, but the idiot who referred you in the first place has to fuck me off! Do you understand? Fleury said impatiently.
At this moment, the drunken man was completely desperate, and now Te not only cheated himself, but also his brother-in-law, a civil servant who worked in the city hall.
It is conceivable that his brother-in-law would have beaten his brother-in-law to death if he had known that one of his drunken acts had caused both the drunk and him to face suspension.
Thinking of this, the drunken man once again felt that his legs and feet were weak, and his eyes were dull and he was once again slumped to the ground, and tears of remorse kept flowing down the paint.
However, Fleury didn't care whether the drunk man was remorseful or not, and when he heard the transmitter stop ticking, he asked again, "How is it?" Did you send it? ”
"It's been sent!" The caller immediately stood up and responded.
"Good!" Fleury nodded at the reporter, then pointed at the drunken man and said, "Now, you throw this fool out of me!" ”
"This ......" they hesitated for a moment when they were usually photographed by the big man.
"Don't worry! This idiot and the guy behind him will be fired outright! You don't have to worry about his revenge on you! Fleury said again to the group of dispatchers.
Fleury's assurances emboldened the group of dispatchers, and they came to the drunken man Fei, where one grabbed him by both hands, another by the shoulders, and another dragged him by and lifted him up.
The current drunken man is like a wasted person who has lost his dream and hope for a day, and with the statistical assistance of the dispatcher, the drunk man is directly thrown on the street.
The dispatcher, who returned to the telegraph office, received a compliment from Fleury.
After staying at the telegraph office and learning about the drunken man and the forces behind him, Fleury left the telegraph office and returned to the hotel.
An hour later.
In Paris, a few hundred kilometers from the port of Marseille, Fleury's telegram was delivered to the telegraph office in Paris.
The head of the telegraph bureau, who received the news, did not put on the slightest hat and immediately conveyed the message to the ministers of the ministries.
After receiving the telegram, the Minister of Railways immediately went to the Palace of Fontainebleau in the middle of the night.
When the Minister of Baroche arrived at the gate of the Palace of Fontainebleau, he found that Mocal was already waiting at the gate of the Palace of Fontainebleau.
"Come with me! Your Majesty is waiting for you in the study! Mokal said bluntly to Barosh.
Baros followed Mocal into a study in the Château de Fontainebleau.
Here he saw not only Emperor Jérôme. Bonaparte, and the Foreign Secretary, de Bonaparte. Ruiz, Minister of War Kuzan. Montauban, Chief of the General Staff St. Marshal Arnaud, and General Conrobert, commander of the 1st Division in Paris.
Such a vigorous description made Baros wonder for a moment whether His Majesty was going to send an army to the Near East.
"You're here!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled at Baros and beckoned.
Baros hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte curtsied, "Your Majesty! ”
"Is there news from Fleury?" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Barosh with his hand in his hand.
"That's right!" Baros nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
Baros then went on to tell Jérôme the contents of Fleury's telegram. Bonaparte listened.
"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, then looked at the imperial ministers present and said, "Do you think we should give this envoy from all the way from the Near East a dismount?" ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte looked around as Jérôme. Saint of Bonaparte's confidants. Arnault immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary! Only in this way can the Ottoman Empire pay more attention to us! Previously, the Navy used naval artillery to bring them to their knees. This time, it's our Army, so I suggest that a huge military exercise should be held to show them what we're capable of! ”
"What do you think?" Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his attention to the commander of the 1st Division (reorganization), Conrobert, and the Minister of War, Kuzan. Montauban.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Conrobert & Kuzan. Montauban certainly agrees with St. Arnault's words, after the completion of the reorganization, the French army really needs to show its muscles.
"What about you?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the Foreign Secretary. Ruiz.
