In the afternoon of the same day, the members of the French Embassy in the Russian Empire, on the orders of the Russian Ambassador, began an orderly evacuation, mountains of documents were rudely thrown into the burning fireplace to be destroyed, and the male and female servants who looked after the embassy were dismissed. In full view of the public, the national emblem of the Russian embassy in France was also taken off by the Russian ambassador himself.

The removal of the embassy's coat of arms meant that there would be no Russian embassy in Paris for a long time, and it was this move of the Russian ambassador that made all foreign ambassadors living in Paris understand that the Russian Empire and the French Empire were very likely to face a serious diplomatic crisis, and even a war.

Some of the foreign envoys who maintained good friendship with the Russian Empire (Greece), and even the near allies (Prussia), could not sit still for a moment when they heard the news of the departure of the Russian Imperial ambassador from Paris.

These foreign envoys, who had the power to meet the Emperor directly, hastened to order the servants in the embassy to prepare carriages for them, and they were to go to the Tuileries Palace in person to ask the Emperor Jérôme. Bonaparte.

When the carriages arrived at the gates of the Tuileries gardens, they were stopped outside the gates of the Tuileries by a group of soldiers.

Judging by the way these Imperial Guards were dressed, they were part of the Guards Grenadier Regiment, the most elite unit of the French Empire.

The foreign envoys sitting in the carriage felt uneasy when they saw the grenadier soldiers guarding the passages inside and outside the Tuileries Palace.

Although they did not understand why the grenadiers were here, the presence of the grenadiers undoubtedly cast a cloud over Paris called war.

Foreign envoys came out of the carriage, including the British ambassador, the Prussian diplomatic ambassador, and the Greek ambassador, who came to the Tuileries Palace with different purposes to meet the emperor in the Tuileries.

"I have an urgent matter and need to meet your Emperor Majesty! I'm sorry for you to go and report it! "The order given by the British ambassador, Lord Cowley, to the soldiers of the grenadier regiment.

"No way!" Without hesitation, the loyal grenadier soldier replied to the British diplomatic ambassador: "We have been ordered not to enter the Tuileries Palace by any unrelated person!" ”

The grenadier's answer strengthened Lord Cauley's belief that the French Empire was planning war with the Russian Empire.

"Could you please tell me, then the Foreign Secretary. Is Ruiys inside the Tuileries Palace? Lord Cowley asked the grenadiers again.

Since they could not get in touch with the Emperor, they had to look to the Foreign Secretary for results.

After the grenadiers looked at each other, one of the grenadiers responded: "Your Excellency the Chancellor is not inside!" ”

"Looks like we'll have to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Lord Cowley turned to the Prussian and Greek ambassadors behind him.

The Prussian and Greek ambassadors nodded to the British ambassadors at the same time, and the three of them left the Tuileries Palace in a carriage together.

The carriage followed the Champs-Élysées, where the Tuileries is located, and along the way passed through avenues such as Avenue Rivoel and Avenue Saint-Michel, and soon arrived at a quay in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, next to which the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs was located.

Lord Cauley and two other ambassadors parked the carriage at the gate of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At this time, there were also two extra soldiers guarding the gate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and everyone who wanted to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building had to enter their interrogation.

"Who are you?" The soldier asked Lord Cowley and the others in a stern tone.

Lord Cowley and the others stated their positions in turn, and the soldiers looked Lord Cowley and the others up and down and let them enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Lord Cowley, who had just stepped through the gates of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, met the service of the German Officer. Secretary of State of Ruiz.

At this time, he seemed to have expected the appearance of Lord Cowley and the others, and said to Lord Cowley and the others: "Your Excellency the Minister has been waiting for you for a long time! Please come with me! ”

Lord Cowley's face was slightly surprised, and they followed the Secretary of State to the door of one of the rooms of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Secretary of State gently pushed open the door to the room. Ruiys appeared in front of Lord Cowley and the others.

Lord Cowley and the others hurried into the room, and they were all in turn. Ruiz shakes hands.

Morality. Ruiz invited them to sit down on a red bench couch near the fireplace.

Lord Cowley, who had just taken his seat, hurriedly inquired about De. What exactly happened at the Luistuileries Palace.

Morality. Ruiz just smiled and shook his head.

Gu Yi/span see the de. Luyce was reluctant to answer, and Lord Cowley had to change the subject to ask de Cauley. Ruisse, whether the French Empire is going to enter into a military conflict with the Russian Empire in the near future.

"Whether the empire will clash with Russia or not depends not on the empire itself, but on the Russian empire!" Morality. Ruiz immediately replied to Lord Cauley: "As long as the Russian Empire is willing to leave the Danube Principality, and promises never to set foot in the Danube Principality." Naturally, the French Empire would not have made a move against the Russian Empire! ”

The people present were hearing the words of De. Immediately after Luyce's speech, it became clear that there was no longer any possibility of reconciliation between the Russian Empire and the French Empire.

The Russian Empire would definitely not allow itself to be weakened in the Danube principalities.

"Will the French Empire and the Ottoman Empire fight together!" The person who asked this question was none other than the Greek minister, who at this time was planning to declare war on the Ottoman Empire with the Russian Empire, or he himself was planning to declare war on the Ottoman Empire and then force the Russian Empire to join the war.

According to the idea of the Greek kingdom, as soon as the Russian Empire entered the war, then the scales of escalation would inevitably tilt in the direction of the Greek kingdom.

The Kingdom of Greece could have seized large swaths of the Ottoman Empire, including Macedonia, and even Constantinople, to complete the Greek revival.

And now the accession of the French Empire made the Greek kingdom realize that the balance of victory was beginning to tilt in the direction of the Ottoman Empire. Whether it is France, Russia, or the Ottoman Empire, which is in decline, neither country can compete with Greece today.

"The French Empire does not rule out fighting in concert with the Ottoman Empire!" Morality. Ruiz glanced at the Greek ambassador and smiled lightly.

The Greek ambassador's face immediately turned pale, he knew that the dream that the Greek kingdom had pursued from the beginning of its existence had become distant after the accession of the French Empire.

"Your Excellency, can I understand it that way! If the Russian Empire is unwilling to leave the Danube Principalities, the French Empire will have to fight against the Russian Empire! The Prussian ambassador asked knowingly.

"That's right!" Morality. Ruiz nodded in response to the Prussian ambassador.

"As far as I know, the Ottoman Empire has not yet declared war on the Russian Empire! The French Empire's support for the Ottoman Empire would make the Ottoman Empire take the risk of declaring war on the Russian Empire! It is quite possible that the situation in the Near East will not be reconciled by this declaration of war! Should the French Empire think again! "The Prussian ambassador expressed his gratitude to Germany. Ruiz earnestly persuaded him.

For the Prussian ambassador, the battle between the French Empire and the Russian Empire could well lead to the whole of Europe being plunged into flames.

If the Russian Empire was at a disadvantage and asked the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire to join the war, should the Kingdom of Prussia join the war?

If you do not join, you will suffer hostility from the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire (the Prussian ambassador did not know that the Austrian Empire had betrayed the Russian Empire. In his eyes, the Austrian Empire was the "doppelganger" of the Russian Empire)

If it joined, Germany would face tremendous war pressure.

William the Regent, who used the bloody massacre to dissolve the House of Commons, was already notorious in the Rhineland, and once the war began, there was no guarantee that the people of the Rhineland would not welcome a new era of Napoleonic Emperor.

After all, Prussia and the Rhineland, in addition to being one nation, are very different in religion and law, and can be said to be an alternative in the territory under Prussia's jurisdiction.

If the Napoleonic Emperor had been a military genius like his uncle, the Kingdom of Prussia would have been defeated again.

It's not good to replicate the "miracle" of being defeated by the Emperor of France with a partial division again.

The war of 1849 had once again given the Kingdom of Prussia another taste of defeat, and the elite troops of the Austrian Empire led by Albrecht succeeded in defeating the spirit of the Kingdom of Prussia with a bold spreading technique.

Ron, who was once known as the "star of tomorrow", has now become a disgrace to the Prussian army.

Although Ron still rose through the ranks with the help of William, the regent, this humiliating defeat was an indelible stain on his life.

There was an air of disconfidence in the entire army of the Kingdom of Prussia, and how could such an army win the war.

So, the best outcome would be that the Russian Empire would not fight with the French Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia would not have to make a choice.

"Mr. Ambassador, your message is out of date! Just this morning, the Ottoman Empire has declared war against the Russian Empire! "De. Ruiz responded to the three ambassadors present.

"What?" The faces of the three ambassadors showed varying degrees of surprise, and they were unaware of the series of events taking place in the Near East.

"The purpose of the French Empire is only to guarantee peace and stability in the Near East! Anyone who intends to destroy the Near East will be punished severely! "De. Ruiz expressed himself in a strong tone, as well as Jérôme behind him. Part of Bonaparte's political views.
