Chapter 506: The Vienna Conference (1)
"Your Majesty, this is the Foreign Minister of the French Empire. Ruice! ”
The Count of Baul went to Franz. Joseph & De. Ruiz in the middle to Franz. Joseph introduced, and then to De. Ruiz introduces Franz. Joseph and Princess Helen: "Mr. Ruiss, standing in front of you is Joseph, Emperor of the Austrian Empire. His Majesty Franz, and his unmarried...... (The Count of Baul suddenly notices Franz. The displeasure on Joseph's face immediately changed his words) Female companion Princess Helen! ”
Stand Joseph. Princess Helen, who was beside Franz, had a look of gloom in her eyes when she heard Count Baul call her a "female companion" instead of a "fiancée".
The emperor still didn't like her after all, even if she had the support of the Queen Mother Sufi, she couldn't defeat her sister after all.
Thinking of this, Princess Helen couldn't help but feel a little lost, and Franz, who was standing beside him. But Joseph didn't know it, because Joseph. Franz put all his attention on the German . The body of Chancellor Ruiz.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess!" Morality. Ruiz saluted the two most respected men of the Austrian Empire.
"De. Mr. Ruice! "Franz. Joseph bowed slightly, and with a hint of arrogance in his words, he spoke in a tone of arrogance. Ruiz said.
"Yes! Your Majesty! "De. Ruiz humbly addressed Franz. Joseph responded.
"Mr. Ruiys, I don't know if you arrived in the Austrian Empire with flowers, or with spears and cannons!" Franz. Joseph said in the most bland tone that made the faces of everyone present change dramatically.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the hall showed different changes, and there was surprise (De. Ruiz), Panic (Prince Metternich), Horror (Count Bauer), and Surprise (Count Orlov).
Despite the virtue. Luyce didn't know about Franz. Why did Joseph say such an explosive topic on such an occasion, but adhering to the diplomat's choice of virtue. Still, Ruiz chooses to express his attitude with vague views.
"Your Majesty, of course I have come with flowers and blessings! In this sacred palace, I can't carry a gun at all! "De. Ruiz straightened up and spoke to Franz in a calm tone. Joseph responded: "I can make a vow to you here, and I will spend my life defending the friendship between France and Austria!" ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Count Baul and Prince Metternich gradually calmed down, and Count Orlov, who was hidden in the crowd, also frowned and thought to himself.
And Franz, who was the initiator of everything. Joseph in Germany. Under Ruiz's firm and calm gaze, his eyes also became kind.
"De. Thank you, Mr. Ruiys, for your support of the Austrian Empire! "Franz. Joseph whispered. Ruiz replied: "I believe ...... Well! The friendship between our two nations will last until the end of the world! May God bless it! ”
Franz. Joseph's feeble response made de . Ruiz had a sense of dismalness.
If it was his monarch Jérôme. If Bonaparte had answered this question, he would have been given a very confident declaration.
Morality. Ruiz believed that even in the face of great difficulties, Jérôme. Bonaparte would also approach it with confidence.
This natural leader (or performer) personality is deeply loved by the people of Paris.
And in the backwater of the Austrian court, such a man should never be trained.
"I also firmly believe that the friendship between our two countries will not change because of the change of time!" Morality. Ruiz said firmly.
After a brief meeting between the two sides, De. Ruiz returns to the crowd, Franz. Joseph continued to stand in the crowd and enjoy the stars holding the moon.
However, Franz. Joseph himself doesn't seem to like this feeling very much.
Virtue who entered the crowd. Ruiz soon met the Austrian ambassador to France, and the two sides exchanged information and went their separate ways.
After that, De. Ruiys met the Earl of Clarendon, the British Foreign Secretary.
"How long have you been here?"
"It's only a day before you!"
……
After a brief small talk, the two sides will get to the point.
From the mouth of the Earl of Clarendon de Cherendon. Ruiz learned that this time the negotiator sent by the Russian Empire, Count Orlov.
Hearing the news of De. Ruiz had a surprised expression on his face: "Why did Nicholas I ask a policeman to come to this negotiation?" Could it be that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire has not been able to find a qualified negotiator? ”
Count Clarendon shrugged his shoulders and whispered with a smile: "Maybe the current Tsar Nicholas really can't find a suitable candidate!" And I heard that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire, Nesher Rodie, has now been excluded from the system of rights by Nicholas I! ”
"That's a reasonable guess!" Morality. Ruiz nodded and replied to Count Clarendon.
And then De. Ruiz said with a mocking expression on his face: "However, let a policeman handle the important affairs of diplomacy, the government agencies of Tsar Nicholas I are really free enough!" ”
"Who's to say it isn't!" The Earl of Clarendon also sighed.
With the Earl of Clarendon and de De. After the exchange of information between the two Luyces was over, the Count of Clarendon and de Brown. Ruiz respectively.
After the separation. Ruiz again travelled to other regions to speak with the diplomatic ambassadors of other countries in the hope of finding some useful information on them.
However, Lingde. Ruiz was disappointed that he had gone back and forth several times, and had not gathered any useful information.
After all the guests arrived, the banquet officially began.
Morality. Ruiz and Lord Clarendon were placed in Franz. Joseph was in the first and second positions on the right, and Count Orlov was placed in Franz. Joseph is in the third position on the left-hand side. (The first and second are the Count of Baul and the Home Chancellor Bach)
This arrangement made the guests at the banquet have to think about it, and Count Orlov did not say a word with a gloomy face throughout the banquet.
After the feast, De. Luyce was specially invited by the Count of Baul to his castle outside Vienna for a consultation.
Once again, the two sides agreed on the question of the two Danube principalities, and the French Empire did not object to the Austrian Empire defending its interests in the Danube principalities.
On the other hand, the Austrian Empire needed to side with the French Empire in the war between the French Empire and the Russian Empire, urging the Russian Empire to withdraw from the Danube Principality as soon as possible, and the Austrian Empire should also declare war on the Russian Empire as soon as possible.
Count Baul still maintained an ambiguous attitude towards the "declaration of war on the Russian Empire" in the agreement to be fulfilled by the Austrian Empire.
However, Count Baul promised that if the troops of the Russian Empire were unwilling to leave the Danube Principality within the stipulated time, then the Austrian Empire would declare war on them.
At this point, De. Ruiz reluctantly accepted the Count Baul's claims.
Because in his opinion, the Russian Empire would not rest on its laurels, and the Austrian Empire would sooner or later be drawn into the war. (Actually, De. Ruiz guessed wrong, the Russian Empire did not declare war on the Austrian Empire)
Morality. After the conclusion of Luyce's negotiations with the Comte de Bauer, de Rouce. Ruiz was told that the Quadrilateral Talks (Britain, France, Russia and Austria) would take place at Schönbrunn Palace on April 6. Luyce don't forget to participate.
Morality. Ruiz assured the Count of Baul that he would come on time.
Time flew by, and it was April 6th.
Morality. Count Luyce, Count Clarendon, Count Orlov, and Count Bauer gathered in a room at Schönbrunn Palace to discuss.
Compared with the star-studded Vienna Conference, the current Quartet talks are particularly sour.
The opening of the four-party talks was a speech by the host Count Bauer, who continued to use clichés such as "maintaining peace in Europe" and "maintaining the harmony of the monarchy" as the opening of the talks.
By the time Count Baul had finished his opening remarks, Count Clarendon was in full swing, accusing the Russian Imperial Government of its recent ...... for peace in Europe In particular, when peace in the Near East was breached, Count Clarendon proposed that the Russian Empire should withdraw from the Danube Duchy under the watchful eye of Britain, France and Austria, and promised not to infringe on the interests of the Ottoman Empire under any pretext in the future, so that Britain would conclude peace with the Russian Empire, which had been repulsed by the Anglo-French forces. If the Russian Empire continues to insist, it will not be long before Britain and France break into the territory of the Russian Empire. Ignite the flames of war to the Russian Empire itself.
As soon as Count Clarendon spoke, Count Orlov immediately argued that the reason why the Russian Empire would attack the Ottoman Empire was entirely out of Tsar Nicholas I's sympathy for the oppressed Slavs in the Ottoman Empire (when Orlov said this, Count Bauer's face was slightly hostile), and the Russian Empire would never give up their Yugoslav brothers, and Orlov also hoped that the French Empire and the Kingdom of Britain would fight together with the Russian Empire to protect the religious order.
At the same time, Count Orlov also firmly denied Clarendon's statement that the Russian Empire was repulsed. He told Count Clarendon that the Russian Empire was retreating mainly because they had completed the tasks of the first stage and were now moving towards the second.
"I would like to ask what exactly are the tasks of the first stage of the Russian Empire? Could it be that retreat is your phased task? "De. Ruiz immediately scoffed.
