Despite what the Earl of Clarendon said, he refused to answer James. Buchanan's question, but every word he said hinted at James. Buchanan: The rejection of the United States of America by the Kingdom of Britain has a lot to do with the French Empire, and it has a lot to do with it.

Hence the refusal of the Earl of Clarendon to answer in James. Buchanan's ear was the default.

What the hell is that guy Mason up to! You can't do this little thing!

James. Buchanan secretly cursed Mason, who was far away in Paris.

James. Buchanan struggled to build relationships and gifts (Palmerston, Newcaster) and finally got through the work on Britain's side, which was supposed to take long (according to James. Buchanan's estimate, in just two months), the merchant ships of the United States of America were able to sail unhindered in the Baltic Sea, earning gold coins from the Russian Empire.

You must know that the current Russian Empire has been completely blockaded by Britain and France, and many materials and equipment (mainly machinery and equipment) cannot be traded from Britain and France, so they can only choose to trade with the United States of America at the next level, and those things that are inferior in the eyes of the factory owners in the United States of America only need to have a decent cargo ship and then transfer them to the Russian Empire, and they can be sold at a premium of more than 20% of the original.

This is no longer a profiteering, it is simply a naked robbery, and as long as Britain and France continue to fight against the Russian Empire, they will be able to squeeze the Russian Empire's wallet in a steady stream.

As a result, Ambassador Mason in Paris made a mistake, which led to the death of James . Buchanan's financial path that was about to be restarted was cut off.

Now James. Buchanan didn't want to mention how much he hated Ambassador Mason.

Still, blame for blame, James. Buchanan still wanted to give it a try and see if he could get a chance to change Britain's mind.

"Your Excellency, I think this is a matter for the United States of America and the Kingdom of Britain, and there is no need to be too accommodating to the French Empire! Moreover, the United States of America did not sell any contraband like the Russian Empire! All trade practices in the United States of America are based on British law! "James. Buchanan tried to gain the sympathy of the Kingdom of Britain in exchange for a low profile, and at the same time secretly stirred up relations between Britain and France.

Of course, James. Buchanan could not be considered a provocation, Britain and France cooperated with each other for much less time than against each other, and Crimea was only a temporary alliance.

Both the French Empire and the Kingdom of Britain knew that as long as the Crimean War ended, relations between Britain and France would probably not return to the present.

Unless the two have a common enemy, a country that can offend Britain and France and not be beaten, there is basically no one in this world.

"Ambassador Buchanan, we are not accommodating the French Empire, but based on a subjective consideration in its current form!" The Count of Clarendon continued to play Tai Chi at Buchanan with the characteristic European diplomatic discourse: "The union of England and France at the present stage is based on the premise of mutual tolerance, and we must be in harmony with the French Empire on matters relating to the Russian Empire!" ”

The Count of Clarendon meant simply, Britain could not abandon the French Empire.

As for why the Russian Empire could not be abandoned, just look at the current ratio of British and French numbers on the Crimean peninsula.

[By the way, insert a British armament situation: Since the official beginning of the Crimean War to the present, less than 30,000 native soldiers have been recruited in the Kingdom of Britain, and the vast majority of them are vagabonds captured from the streets.

The current British army, and the Grand Army that Commander Raglan and Newcaster Chancellor had in mind, cannot be said to be irrelevant, and can only be regarded as far from it.

To make matters worse, the British Treasury did not allocate enough funds to the War Department to prepare soldiers and improve logistics.

The money was supposed to build an army of hundreds of thousands, but now there are only 30,000.

The logistics on the Crimean peninsula were as bad as ever, and the British soldiers ate long-haired corned beef from the Napoleonic Wars and drank whiskey diluted with water.

Where the rest of the money goes, only God knows!

Anyway, Palmerston and Newcastle were reluctant to trace the whereabouts of the money, and it might have been borrowed by God. 】

Once the French Empire left the Kingdom of Britain and made peace with the Russian Empire alone, the Kingdom of Britain could probably only negotiate peace.

For Palmerston, who aspired to dismember the Russian Empire, this was something that simply could not be accepted.

"I hope that the Kingdom of Britain and the French Empire can end this war as soon as possible, so that trade can return to normal!" James. Buchanan had no choice but to respond to Clarendon,

"If the Russian Empire can abandon their unrealistic ambitions, we are still willing to open a channel of communication with the Russian Empire!" Clarendon replied in vague diplomatic terms.

"Your Excellency, do you mean by letting go of ambition in the Russian Empire?" James. Buchanan single-handedly asked Earl Clarendon, "If this is the case, the United States of America is willing to act as a bridge between the Kingdom of Britain and the Russian Empire!" ”

"Mr. Buchanan, it is our best choice to maintain our alliance with France!" The Earl of Clarendon smiled at James. Buchanan said: "However, in certain specific cases, we do not rule out the diplomatic path of France and France in exchange with the Russian Empire, and Britain also has the diplomatic path of Britain!"

By that time, we will probably need the help of the United States of America! ”

As soon as Earl Clarendon's vague diplomatic words were finished, James . Buchanan hurriedly said to Count Clarendon: "The United States of America is willing to act as a bridge between the Kingdom of Britain and the Russian Empire!" ”

What a complete idiot, how could the Kingdom of Britain let go of the Russian Empire so easily!

Clarendon secretly despised James in his heart. Buchanan.

In the final analysis, the diplomatic background of the United States of America is not very deep, and it cannot be integrated into the European diplomatic system at all.

Not to mention a master of offshore balancing like Britain, even the "orphans" of European diplomacy such as the Russian Empire can bully the current United States of America.

In the absence of diplomacy and power, all the actions of the United States of America were in the eyes of old Europe what the P5 looked at the Gambia in the eyes of later generations.

It's just that the "Gambia" of the United States of America is much stronger than the later Gambia.

The real rise of the diplomacy of the United States of America was after the Second World War, when the United States of America was already at the level of the world, and there was no need to follow the diplomatic philosophy of the old Europe.

Old Europe, because of the rise of the Soviet Union, had to commit itself to the United States of America.

"On behalf of the Kingdom of Britain, I thank the United States of America for its selfless help!" Earl Clarendon vs. James. Buchanan responded.

James, who does not yet know what the Earl of Clarendon thinks of him in his heart. Buchanan was still complacent that he had found a way to elevate the "value of the united front," and he was now determined to make progress in bringing about peace talks between the Kingdom of Britain and the Russian Empire.

In order to facilitate this action, he decided to write a letter to his colleagues living in St. Petersburg.

Poor James. Buchanan didn't know that there was no good person in old Europe.

His letter indirectly created a liability of $2.5 million for the United States of America.

……

Just on the Earl of Clarendon with James. At the same time as the Buchanan dialogue, Jérôme was far away in Paris. Bonaparte also met with the Austrian ambassador to France, Richard Bonaparte. Metternich.

Richard. Metternich once again congratulated the French Empire on its remarkable achievements in the Crimean Peninsula, and hoped that the French Empire and the Austrian Empire would get better and better in the future.

"Mr. Richard, I am on the same page as you! France and Austria have had some differences before, but I believe that time will dilute all the differences, leaving only a precious friendship! "Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Richard. Metternich responded: "I believe that the friendship between France and Austria will last forever!" ”

"I believe it too!" Richard. Metternich nodded. Bonaparte responded.

After some compliments, Jérôme. Bonaparte single-handedly asked Richard. Metternich, what does the Austrian Empire think of the present?

"Your Majesty, I have not yet received a telegram from Vienna, so I dare not speculate on the policy of the Imperial Government!" Richard. Metternich responded to Jérôme with a drop of water. Bonaparte said.

"If you want me to say that you, the Austrian Empire, should send troops with us, only then will we be able to defeat the Russian Empire more quickly!" Jérôme. Bonaparte egged Richard. Metternich Dao.

Richard. Metternich still smiled in response to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "Your Majesty, the Austrian Empire needs some time!" ”

"Need time?" Jérôme. The corners of Bonaparte's mouth showed a sneer: "Mr. Richard, do I give you enough time?" Almost two years have passed since before the start of the Crimean War! Whatever you want, I'll fight for you! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to occupy the Danube Principality.

It's me! The Kingdom of Britain will hand over the Danube Duchy to you! It's me! Hold the Ottomans and tell them not to act, so that you can successfully occupy the Danube principalities.

I, too, tolerate your neutrality! Let you enjoy the fruits of the victory of the coalition forces without offending the Russian Empire too much.

What has you given me feedback over the past two years? ”
