"Your Majesty! Although there are certain differences between the French Empire and the Russian Empire on some issues, I believe that as long as both sides uphold the idea of peace, the misunderstanding will be resolved! ”

The Russian ambassador, smelling the smell of war, hurried to persuade Jérôme. Bonaparte gave up unspoken ideas.

Jérôme. Bonaparte just glanced at the Russian ambassador and calmly responded: "The actions of the Russian Empire in the Danube principalities have seriously threatened peace and stability in the Near East, so the Russian Empire must withdraw from Moldova and the principalities of Wallachia!" ”

"Evacuate?" The Russian ambassador raised his voice and spoke indignantly to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "Your Majesty, no one, no country, has the right to order the withdrawal of the Russian Imperial Army from that land!" ”

For a pure Slavic nationalist, the liberation of the Slavic peoples under the constraints of the Ottoman Empire had become one of the established national policies of the Russian Empire. Not even His Majesty the Tsar, the supreme man of the Russian Empire, could openly deny this sacred and great cause, and how could he, a small Russian ambassador, dare to openly deny it.

"Mr. Ambassador, I have not called you here today to consult with you, the Russian Empire must evacuate the Danube principalities! If the Russian Empire had been dependent on the Danube Principalities and was unwilling to leave, then the French Empire would have regarded the Russian Empire as the culprit for the destruction of peace in the Near East! The French Empire will not hesitate to use all means at its disposal to maintain peace and stability in the Near East. "Jérôme. Bonaparte, with a tough attitude, sent an ultimatum to the Russian ambassador to the Russian Empire.

Since Jérôme. Bonaparte's threat of naked war meant that there was basically no room for maneuver between the French Empire and the Russian Empire, and the Russian ambassador naturally did not have to be forced to say something against his will in order to curry favor with the French Empire.

"Humph!" The Russian ambassador snorted coldly and addressed Jérôme in a sarcastic tone. Bonaparte replied: "The seizure of Algiers by France from Turkey, and the annexation by Britain of state after state in India almost every year, do not affect the balance of power. Why, when our Russian Empire temporarily occupied Moldova and the principalities of Wallachia, interfered with the balance of forces?

The French Empire has been stationed in Rome for several years, but Europe has turned a blind eye to you. At a time when the Russian Empire was only thinking about liberating Constantinople, you were arrogant and saying that we were destroying peace in Europe.

…… Britain declared war on the Qingguo people simply because the Qingguo people offended them, and you didn't say anything! The Russian Empire, on the other hand, was only in friction with its neighbors, but it was subject to the permission of the whole of Europe. In support of a pathetic lie, Britain threatened Greece to burn their fleet, and you still turned a blind eye and claimed that it was a legitimate operation. But the Russian Empire's demand for a treaty to protect the legitimate rights of Christians is seen by you as an expansion of the powers in the Near East, sacrificing the balance of power.

I don't see any civilization or virtue in you. We have nothing but blind hatred and malice.

Even so, you are not satisfied, and you are still trying to limit us as if we were born with sin. ”

The Russian ambassador spoke one by one about the various cases of double standards that the Kingdom of Britain and the French Empire had carried out over the past two decades.

"What war in the Russian Empire, Mr. Ambassador, was not a war aimed at the widening of the land. In terms of the lands that the Russian Empire has annexed in recent years, you have annexed far more land than France! You are still not satisfied, and you still want to continue to annex the land with all your might! "Jérôme. Bonaparte also countered the Russian ambassador with sharp words: "Yes! We did annex Algeria, but France also suffered the fate of the fall of the Bourbon dynasty and your suppression and blockade of France. We helped Pope Pius IX to return to Rome, but we did not go to great lengths to create a united Italian state.

And what about you? You are demanding that the Ottoman Empire sign a pact to protect the Christians, in order to keep the Ottoman Empire under complete control! Didn't you occupy Constantinople in order to turn it into the territory of the Russian Empire!

The French Empire had no intention of turning Rome into a city under its control. Your expansion has been restricted, so I would like to ask you, how did a Muscovy become the huge Russian Empire that it is now? Where are the Polish-Lithuanian Confederations, the Crimean Khanate, and the Caucasus Khanate, they could not have voluntarily given their lands with their hands. When you use brutal means to expand unbridledly, you should think that one day you will become the main culprit for the destruction of peace in Europe. ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte was unsparing in pointing out the greedy nature of the Russian Empire, and from the establishment of Muscovy to the present day, successive tsars have done everything in their power to squeeze their Slavic cattle to complete their desire for foreign expansion.

The Russian Empire has also changed from a remote corner of the country to the lame giant that now straddles the Eurasian continent.

If it had not been for the advanced productive forces brought about by the Industrial Revolution that temporarily offset the demographic advantage of the Russian Empire, it would not be long before the Russian Empire could have completely crushed Europe with its huge demographic superiority, thanks to its old sow-like ability to give birth.

The Napoleonic Wars were arguably the last glory of Tsarist Russia, when the smoothbore guns were decisive in terms of range, accuracy and reload, and the tactics of bayonet charging and soldier fanaticism were in a sense the victory of a war.

Gu Dong/Span assumed that when the Russian Imperial Army at that time was again equipped with a commander similar to Suslov, the whole army would be invincible.

Unfortunately, the Napoleonic Wars were gone, and powerful and convenient artillery and rifles with extremely high range and accuracy changed the rules of warfare.

The war began to move towards another stage - the stage of general warfare, which was undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow for a tsarist Russia with an industrial base of basically zero.

However, with the exception of Jérôme. No one outside Bonaparte was fully aware that the mode of war was moving in a much bloodier direction, and that the gap between the French Imperial army and the Russian Imperial army was far greater than they themselves had imagined.

So, Jérôme. From the very beginning, Bonaparte was not afraid of war with the Russian Empire, but he feared that the French Empire would once again fall into diplomatic isolation.

The diplomatic isolation that plagued the French Empire was no longer there, and the French Empire returned for taking Cyprus and Syria from the Ottoman Empire (although Rifaat argues that the Ottoman Empire did not lose these two areas, but in Jérôme. In Bonaparte's eyes, they were already in the pockets of the French Empire, and when the time came, the French Empire would not hesitate to seize them. It's time for a showdown with the Russian Empire.

"Your Majesty, everything you have said is nothing but sophistry based on French principles!" After a long silence, the Russian ambassador once again spoke to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "The Russian Empire will never abandon our Christian brothers in the Danube principalities and the Balkans, who are still waiting for our liberation!" If you really want to drag France into a war against the Russian Empire, then we have no choice but to fight. The Russian Empire has never been afraid of war, we just don't want to see the French Empire and the Russian Empire, two civilized countries, fighting each other for a barbaric country! ”

"Civilization and barbarism are not up to you and me to judge! I only see that the Russian Empire is invading a country under absurd pretexts! "Jérôme. Bonaparte was so angry that he denounced the aggression of the Russian Empire against the Ottoman Empire, and had long forgotten the clumsy and shameless performance that had taken place in the Chateauri region a month earlier.

"Your Majesty! Since you insist on calling for war, then I have nothing to say! "The Russian ambassador to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed slightly, in order to show his own respect for France: "Then allow me to get out of here!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and stretched out his hand, and the ambassador of the Russian Empire once again headed towards Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed and left the Tuileries Palace.

After the departure of the Russian ambassador, Jérôme . Bonaparte spoke again to De. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately conveyed the conditions proposed by France to St. Petersburg without error, and by the way, let our ambassador to Russia evacuate Russia as soon as possible after passing on the important news!" The war is about to begin! ”

Morality. Ruiz received Jérôme. Immediately after Bonaparte's order, he went into action.

On the other hand, the Russian ambassador who left the Tuileries Palace returned to the premises of the Russian embassy like a walking corpse.

After seeing the expression of the Russian ambassador, the military attache and the secretary in charge of the embassy immediately felt as if something big was about to happen, and they hurriedly came to the Russian ambassador and asked the ambassador what had happened!

"Let's go!" The Russian ambassador said something that sounded inexplicable to the military attaché and the secretary.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" The secretary cautiously questioned the envoy in front of him.

"I said go! Didn't you hear clearly? Distraught, the Russian ambassador couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Your Excellency, where are we going? Will it return to the Russian Empire? The secretary asked again.

"The French Empire has issued a warning to the Russian Empire that war is about to begin!"
