Face Duc. The sarcasm of Chancellor Ruiz, Orlov's face was not in the slightest shame against De. "The purpose of the Russian Empire's military campaign against the Ottoman Empire was to help the Ottoman Empire de-radicalize. Defend the rights of fellow Slavs in the territory of the Ottoman Empire. The first phase of our operation was aimed at punishing the radical forces in the Danube principalities and maintaining peace on the European continent. In order to prevent a possible sneak attack by the Ottoman Empire during the period when the Russian Imperial Army was removing the radicalizing forces of the Danube. That's why our army had to go to the Fortress of Silistra and closely monitor the movement of the fortress of Sillistra. ”

"What a high-sounding reason!" Morality. Again, in an exaggerated and sarcastic tone, Ruiz said: "I have never seen such a country as openly invaded the territory of another country, ignoring the sovereignty of other countries. ”

"De. Minister Ruiz, the purpose of the Russian Empire is only to preserve the right of our fellow Slavs in the Ottoman Empire not to be oppressed by the Ottoman government! You are misinterpreting the policy of the Russian Imperial Government! Count Orlov said righteously.

"Good! If, as you say, Count Orlov, the Russian Empire conducted a military campaign against the Ottoman Empire in order to preserve the right of the Slavic peoples not to be oppressed in the Ottoman Empire, then I would like to ask if one day other countries ...... "De. Ruice paused and smiled apologetically to Count Baul: "I'll give you an analogy, for example: the Austrian Empire...... It is known that there were not a few Slavic peoples in the territory of the Austrian Empire. If one day there was also oppression of the Slavs in the Austrian Empire, and the Slavs in the Austrian Empire could not bear the oppression and asked the Russian Empire for help. The Russian Empire would not have treated the Austrian Empire in the same way that it had treated the Ottoman Empire.

After all, His Excellency the Count has just said that the Russian Empire could act against the Slavs of the Ottoman Empire, completely ignoring the fact that this is a prerequisite for the internal affairs of a sovereign state. ”

Morality. Ruiys's words made Orlov unable to find an excuse to refute.

The reason for this is that the legal basis Orlov found for the Russian Empire's invasion of the Ottoman Empire is too nonsense.

Of course, considering that Count Orlov himself was not a real diplomat, but a temporary diplomat with a secret service leader.

In addition, the Russian Empire's understanding of diplomacy is still stuck in "I am strong, I am reasonable!" "Austrian Empire, you have to learn to be grateful".

It is not surprising that Count Orlov himself made a map-cannon rhetoric, since in the Russian Empire there were never any real allies, only enemies, protectors (the current Prussia and the French Republic at the time of the First World War), and sons (the Austrian Empire).

[PS: If you are interested, you can take a look at the article published by RIA Novosti in recent times: What should Russia do to Ukraine?

The content of the article is full of 19th-century chauvinistic ideas, and the author has some doubts that the Russian Empire's article should appear on the eve of the Crimean War, not in the 21st century.

Or is there a possibility that Russia's foreign policy has not changed at all from beginning to end. 】

"These two issues cannot be generalized! The Ottoman Empire is the Ottoman Empire, and the Austrian Empire is the Austrian Empire! "Count Orlov tried to use ambiguous words to replace the German . Chancellor Ruiz asked a tough question to defuse.

And Count Bauer, who was the presiding officer of the meeting, frowned in displeasure.

Since the Russian Empire was able to invade the Ottoman Empire in this way, why did it not invade the Austrian Empire in the same way.

Seeing that the situation was gradually turning against the development of the Russian Empire, Count Orlov hurriedly assured Count Bauer: "The Russian Empire will never make a move against his friends!" The Russian Empire cherishes the friendship of the Austrian Empire, and we hope that the Austrian Empire will stand with the Russian Empire and jointly maintain peace and stability on the Danube! ”

Idiot!

Count Orlov's public assurances made Count Bauer's only remaining goodwill towards the Russian Empire once again diminished.

The role of the Austrian Empire in the Quadripartite Talks was that of a mediator (the Austrian Empire was more inclined to Britain and France) and a neutral, and Orlov's speech was undoubtedly intended to draw the Austrian Empire into their camp and make the Austrian Empire lose its dominant position in the Conference.

"Your Excellency, I have invited you and the envoys of England and France to come by order of Your Majesty, not to announce to you both whose side the Austrian Empire will be on! Rather, I want to use this opportunity to bridge the contradictions that exist between the two of you! Return peace to the European continent! Count Bauer said coldly.

"Good! Since Count Baul has already said that this is a peaceful meeting, then we are also willing to have a frank exchange of views with the Russian Empire for the sake of peace in Europe! Earl Clarendon said in a mocklustful manner.

"What about the opinion of France?" The Earl of Bauer asked in a flat tone. Lyce Road.

"The opinion of the Kingdom of Britain is the opinion of the entire coalition army!" Morality. Ruysf replied to Count Bauer.

"So will the Russian Empire continue to talk!" Count Bauer asked Count Orlov.

"Yes!" Count Orlov nodded.

Count Clarendon then made his first opinion to Count Orlov: "We hope that the Russian Imperial Army will give up its territorial claims to Serbia and the Danube, which will be brought back to the protection of the Ottoman Gordon government!" ”

"Nope! I disagree! Orlov immediately objected to Count Clarendon: "Once the Ottoman Empire returns to the Danube principality, it will inevitably turn the butcher's knife at the people of the Danube principality." I don't want to see a brutal butcher's knife staged in the Danube principalities! ”

In response to Orlov's objection, Count Bauer spoke: "Count Clarendon, the Austrian Empire agrees with the Russian Empire on this matter!" ”

Seeing that Count Bauer supported him, Count Orlov's face showed a touch of joy.

He was full of thinking that the Austrian Empire was still standing with the Russian Empire, and he had no idea that the condition proposed by the Count of Clarendon was at all a condition that had been negotiated a long time ago.

Count Orlov's opposition was also expected by Count Clarendon, who hesitated for a moment and then said: "Then we will revise the plan, these territories will be under the joint protection of the European powers and the Gaomen government, and the Gaomen government will not allow the wanton massacre of the Danube people, how about this!" ”

Before Count Orlov could speak, Count Bauer nodded first and said, "Yes!" ”

"Yes!" Count Orlov could only echo one sentence.

"Second, the Danube is open to all commercial navigation!"

"I'm against it!" Orlov shouted loudly against.

For a long time, the Russian Empire had a monopoly on commercial trade on the Danube.

Nowadays, the Danube underestimates that commercial navigation should be opened, which is not aimed at the death of the Russian Empire.

"Then put this one on hold for now!" Count Clarendon did not dwell too much on this article, and went directly to the startled: "We want to revise the Straits Convention with the goal of "balancing power in Europe" (the dominance of the Russian Empire in the Black Sea will be suspended)"

"Against!" Count Orlov said without hesitation: "Since you have said the "balance of power in Europe", then we hope that Britain and France will reduce your navy in the Baltic and Mediterranean for the sake of the balance of power in Europe!" ”

"This issue is not in the scope of today's discussion!" Earl Clarendon replied forcefully.

"In that case, allow me to leave first!" Count Orlov told Count Clarendon that he wanted to use this method to express his protest against the "unequal" treaty between Britain and France.

Immediately, Count Orlov turned and left Schönbrunn Palace.

After the departure of Count Orlov, Count Clarendon and de Llorendon met with de L. Minister Ruiz left one after another.

Over the next week, Count Orlov began to seek foreign aid, first visiting the ambassadors of the Kingdom of Prussia, hoping that they would stand with the Russian Empire and help them as they had helped the Kingdom of Prussia in 1851.

The Prussian ambassador regretfully told Orlov that he was only an ordinary ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia to Austria and had no right to accede to Orlov's request privately.

However, he would send a telegram to the Prussian side asking about the attitude of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Count Orlov left the embassy of the Kingdom of Prussia with great gratitude, and then visited the Belgian embassy. (Orlov really doesn't know who else is standing with them)

The ambassador of the Belgian embassy also told Orlov that they knew that there was no way, that Britain and France were far more powerful than them, and that even if they wanted to help the Russian Empire, it would be useless.

At the suggestion of the Belgian ambassador, Orlov went to find the ambassador of the United States of America.

The ambassador of the United States of America also made a perfunctory remark and told Orlov that the United States was not capable of mixing in the disputes of old Europe.

The successive encounters made Count Orlov realize that the Russian Empire seemed to be isolated from the world.

When Orlov once again approached Count Bauer to start interrupting the meeting again, Count Bauer decisively agreed to Orlov's request.

The Quartet talks began again on 15 April.

This meeting will really decide the fate of the Russian Empire.
