Lord Seymour's bland but resolute speech made Nicholas I's face stiffen, and then he smiled dryly: "Really? ”

"Your Majesty, peace and stability in the Near East depend on every responsible and responsible European country, so we must join hands to jointly maintain peace and stability in the European region!" Lord Seymour spoke to Nicholas I with a sincere expression, and he did not seem to notice Nicholas I's slightly embarrassed face.

Despite Lord Seymour's sincerity, Nicholas I seemed to have decided in his heart that Lord Seymour had sided with the French Empire.

"Alright! I know your attitude! If the Kingdom of Britain is not willing to support me, then we will do it ourselves! Nicholas I, like a child who had not yet grown up, said to Lord Seymour angrily.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we're unwilling to support you! We just hope that the various forces in the Near East will maintain balance and jointly safeguard the development of peace and stability in Europe! Lord Seymour responded cautiously, and then added, "The Kingdom of Britain is not willing, and does not want to be directed against any country. If any country wants to undermine peace in the Near East, Britain will defend it at all costs. ”

Under the tough attitude of Lord Seymour, Nicholas I completely dismissed the idea of winning over the Kingdom of Britain to carve up the Ottoman Empire.

Now Nicholas I understood that the Kingdom of Britain wanted only a high-door government under their control, and not a fragmented Ottoman Empire.

"What if the Ottoman Empire itself undermined peace in the Near East?" Nicholas I asked Lord Seymour coldly.

"I believe that the Ottoman Empire would not have made such an unwise move!" Lord Seymour responded directly with a double-standard attitude.

"That's it! Lord Seymour, I'm tired! I won't leave you here to rest! "Nicholas I, who had tested Lord Seymour's attitude, issued an expulsion order to Lord Seymour, and the court of the Russian Empire would never welcome a person with malicious intentions towards the Russian Empire.

Lord Seymour naturally also heard what Nicholas I meant, and he hurriedly curtsied to the tsar in front of him, and Nicholas I waved his hand slightly, and a guard sent Lord Seymour away from the Russian Imperial court.

After Lord Seymour had left Tsarskoye for good, Nicholas I slowly came to a portrait of a middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of the Russian Empire and paid for shoes and a sword. Judging by his appearance in the portrait, there are some similarities with Nicholas I.

Standing under the portrait, Nicholas I looked at the middle-aged man in the portrait with a confused look in his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Brother, what do you think I should do?" And where should the Russian Empire go! ”

That's right, the person in the portrait is none other than the "Holy King" Alexander I, who "saved" all of Europe.

It was precisely because of his decision to fortify the wilderness that the French Empire was defeated by General Winter after attacking Moscow because it could not find supplies.

Less than 300,000 of the 600,000-strong French coalition troops left the Russian Empire, and in the wars that followed, the Russian Empire pursued the Russian Empire from Poland to France proper. Prussia and Austria were "liberated" by the Russian Empire, and joined the Russian Empire in the crusade against France.

Now, 38 years have passed since that war, and the once handsome guy (Nicholas I) is now a middle-aged and handsome man, and the Russian Empire is gradually becoming strong under his leadership (Nicholas I thought himself). With just one step, Nicholas I could lead his army to capture the fortress of Constantine, let the double-headed eagle banner of Constantinople fly in the wind, and accomplish what successive tsars had not done for hundreds of years.

However, on the way of Nicholas I to Constantinople stood an emaciated "sick man", and behind this "sick man" was a "ghostly" opponent.

A few decades ago, the Russian Empire, led by the Holy King, defeated this "republican undead" who destroyed the monarchy.

A few decades later, the nephew of the "undead" carried his will to establish an empire, which was renamed the "Second French Empire".

The undead of the past appeared in the land of France as if they had been resurrected from the dead, and this undead spirit should have been wiped out in this land once again when he was born.

However, after more than thirty years of development in countries full of calculations, the hatred of the undead has gradually faded, and they have begun to consult with the undead, in a vain attempt to use the undead's assurances to appease their growing fears.

They succeeded, the undead agreed to their terms, and assured themselves to the whole of Europe, and they began to sit back and relax, and began to fight against each other.

Only he, Nicholas I, knew that the haunting Second Reich would never stop their evil plans, and they would do everything to destroy all of Europe.

In fact, exactly as Nicholas I had anticipated, the Ottoman Empire, with the support of the undead, rejected the Russian Empire's proposal, and they began to rebel against the Russian Empire.

Just when the Russian Empire needed help to fight together, the Kingdom of Britain and the Austrian Empire were also on their side. Bonaparte's rhetoric was bewitched (Nicholas I always believed that the union of the Kingdom of Britain with the French Empire was purely due to Jérôme. Credit to Bonaparte. Felix. Schwarzenberg's friendliness towards France also upset Nicholas I. became their accomplice, and fortunately Christ blessed and punished Felix for his replacement.

Even so, the Kingdom of Britain still stands with the undead......

Standing under the portrait, Nicholas I began to think crankily, and when he thought of his brother Alexander I, he was so proud when he faced the First Empire.

Nicholas I believed that he would not be able to fall into the majesty of the Romanovs, and that the Russian Empire would be able to defeat the French Empire, even without the support of the Kingdom of Britain.

Thinking of this, a sense of mission poured into the heart of Nicholas I, making him determined to defeat the French Empire like Alexander I.

While Nicholas I was stunned, an attendant suddenly broke into Nicholas I's room and informed him of the Ottoman Empire's declaration of war on the Russian Empire. (France issued a warning to the Russian Empire to evacuate the Danube before Nicholas I received a declaration of war from the Grand Council of the Ottoman Empire.) ）

"How dare they!" Nicholas I roared angrily.

He never thought that a poor and weak Ottoman Empire would take the initiative to declare war on the Russian Empire, and he had given them enough time to think, why were they unwilling to comply!

In the eyes of the hegemonic values of Nicholas I, the declaration of war by the Ottoman Empire on Nicholas I was a complete mistake.

"You say, why do they dare to declare war! You said! Nicholas I shouted loudly to the attendants.

The attendants were so frightened by Nicholas I's fury that they could not say a word, and could only tremble and tell Nicholas I that the Ottoman Empire did not know how to be grateful to the Russian Empire!

After a while, Nicholas I, in a fit of rage, regained some of his senses, and he remembered the warning given to him yesterday by the French ambassador.

Nicholas I's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly asked the attendants for information about the time it took to get from the Ottoman Empire to St. Petersburg.

The attendant military attache did not dare to slack off in the slightest and immediately told Nicholas I.

The Great Council of the Ottoman Empire, after issuing a warning of war, immediately sent a letter of war to Paskewicz, who was stationed in the Danube region.

After receiving the letter, Paskevich immediately summoned Gorchakov and others to discuss, (in the middle of the way, Paskevich and Gorchakov and others did not know whether to attack the fortress of Siliscott immediately), and then immediately reached the side of Nicholas I, and the whole journey took less than a week (6 days).

"Why is France getting news faster than you guys?" Nicholas I was keenly aware of the problem of time on the way.

From the Ottoman Empire to Paris, and then from Paris to St. Petersburg, this distance is much farther than the distance from Constantinople to St. Petersburg.

Not counting the time required for decision-making, it was common sense that the French ambassador would have given him a warning after he had received news of the Ottoman declaration of war.

The ...... attendants did not know that the telegraph had been set up from Constantinople to Paris, that France had known the news within hours of the decision of the Imperial Council, and that the subsequent decisions and transmission of the message were so much faster that they outpaced the carriage to deliver the message.

The massive use of the telegraph in the mood of France allowed France to be faster and more informed in all respects.

These were conditions that Nicholas I could not have, and the impoverished and weakened Russian Empire simply did not have the money to build a telegraph line from the Russian Near East in one day.

Moreover, Nicholas I had no idea that telegraphs were used in the military and diplomatic spheres.

"Forget it! You go and call me the Secretary of State for War, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the Third Section!" Looking at the attendant in front of him, who didn't know anything, Nicholas I was angry, he suppressed his anger and waved his hand at the attendant military attache and gave an order.

"Yes!" The military attaché immediately replied to Nicholas I, and immediately left Tsarskoye for St. Petersburg.
