Chapter 572: Diplomacy in a Brief Peace

"Your Excellency, Ambassador, isn't it just to talk about these things?"

Württemberg looked at the Saxon ambassador in front of him with a smirk.

If he (the ambassador of Württemberg) was not mistaken, it is likely that the Saxon ambassador in front of him came to him for the problems of the Russian Empire.

As for why the ambassador of Württemberg was convinced that the Saxon ambassador came for Russian affairs, of course, it was because of the special status of the Saxon ambassador, he was the son-in-law of the current foreign minister of the Russian Empire, Nesher Rodie.

Saxony and Württemberg do not have much in common, and the "big brothers" behind their respective countries are now close to forming an alliance, and there is no need for them to act as brokers to communicate with each other.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Saxon ambassador to come for the official affairs of the Kingdom of Saxony, the only possibility is that he was entrusted by Nesherrodi to communicate with the French Empire and test the bottom line of peace in the French Empire.

Of course, this behavior of Nesherro is also a very normal thing in this era.

The diplomatic field of Gaine's time was still occupied by the aristocracy, and the nobles married each other, and diplomacy through the marriage relationship between the nobles was also an important link.

"Of course, this is only one aspect!" The Ambassador of Saxony, who was exposed by the Ambassador of Württemberg, did not show much embarrassment, and he still showed a calm expression and said to the Ambassador of Württemberg: "Actually, I am on the orders of my father-in-law to present a gift to the crown prince who is about to be born to Empress Augusta!" ”

"Then you should pay tribute directly to His Majesty the Emperor!" Ambassador Württemberg responded to Ambassador Saxony with an old god expression: "I am just an ordinary Ambassador of Württemberg, and I am not capable of helping you at all!" You'd better be smart! ”

With that, Ambassador Württemberg raised his hand to stop the gesture to stop the conversation.

"Mr. Ambassador, please wait!" Ignoring the demeanor of a diplomat, the Ambassador of Saxony grabbed the Ambassador by the sleeve and refused to let him leave, and said to him complimentingly: "Mr. Ambassador, if you had not tried to marry the Empress to His Majesty, I am afraid that the Empress would not have become one of the most honorable people in all of Europe!" Your kindness to the Emperor and Empress is far beyond the reach of ordinary people! ”

"No matter how good my personal relationship with the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress is, I will always be an ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg, not an ambassador of the French Empire!" Ambassador Württemberg made a point of emphasis, and then shrugged his shoulders and revealed some information to the Ambassador of Saxony: "And His Majesty Bonaparte himself is not willing to start peace talks now!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" The Ambassador of Saxony asked in a whisper.

Immediately afterwards, the Ambassador of Württemberg revealed to the Ambassador of Saxony that some time ago, when he visited Empress Augusta on behalf of the King of Württemberg, he had met with Jérôme. Bonaparte's conversation by the fireplace.

The then ambassador of Württemberg also tactfully asked Jérôme. Whether Bonaparte was willing to end the Crimean War.

If Jérôme. Bonaparte was willing to end the Crimean War, then the Kingdom of Württemberg was willing to act as a messenger of peace to convey the emperor's ideas to St. Petersburg.

If you don't want to, forget it.

Jérôme. Bonaparte told the Württemberg ambassador that he was willing to open negotiations with the Russian Empire at the right time, not now.

Now the Saxony ambassador wants to use him to build a channel of Franco-Russian negotiations through his wife's diplomacy, and there is basically no chance of success.

"Sir, my father-in-law also knows that peace talks with the French Empire are unlikely now!" The Ambassador of Saxony also responded with a reply: "I only hope that you will bring a message to Your Majesty for me!" ”

"What words!" The ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg asked.

"My father-in-law said: Although France and Russia are at war, there is no hatred between the two countries!" The Ambassador of Saxony approached the Ambassador of Württemberg as he said to the Ambassador of Württemberg, and then quietly placed a gem the size of a duck's egg in the pocket of the Ambassador of Württemberg: "This is a gift from my father-in-law for the soon-to-be-born Crown Prince, please take me to present it to Her Royal Highness." ”

After a pause, the Saxony ambassador continued: "We will never forget your friendship and warmth for us!" ”

Ambassador Württemberg's indifferent expression was immediately soothed when he heard Ambassador Saxony speak of "friendship and warmth".

[PS: The meaning of friendship and hot pillow is the benefit fee. 】

"All I can say is do what I can!" Ambassador Württemberg responded to the Ambassador of Saxony: "I can't guarantee that this will be successful!" ”

"Rest assured! Even if you fail, we are very grateful for your help! The Ambassador of Saxony hastened to respond.

"That's good!" The Ambassador of Saxony nodded in agreement with the Ambassador of Saxony: "I will tell Empress Augusta!" ”

"Then it's trouble!"

……

While the Saxon ambassador was making a political deal with the Württemberg ambassador, the Prussian ambassador, who had left in a carriage on the Place de la Ville in Paris, had already arrived near the docks of Orsay.

The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia, who entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was led by the State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the reception room on the second floor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Minister Ruiz is still in a meeting, and I will be able to talk to you in a moment! Please wait a moment! The state secretary politely addressed the ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia.

"When will Minister Ruiys's ongoing meeting end?" The Prussian ambassador hurriedly asked.

"It will take about 10-20 minutes!" The state secretary replied: "I don't know exactly when!" ”

"I see!" The Prussian ambassador nodded, and then added: "Please be sure to be in Germany. When Chancellor Ruiz adjourned, tell him that I was waiting for him here! ”

"Please rest assured!" The expression of the State Secretary to the Ambassador of Prussia was sure to inform him of the message of the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia.

The Secretary of State, who had left the reception room, climbed up the stairs, stopped at the Minister's Office on the top floor, and pushed open the door to the Minister's Office. Ruiz is in the office.

At this time, he was not in a meeting, as the secretary of state said, but sat on the sofa and climbed through the file of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"What's wrong?" Hearing movement at the door, De. Ruiz looked up and saw the secretary of state who was gradually walking towards him.

"Your Excellency, I have followed your instructions to dry the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia in the reception room, and told him that you are in a meeting and that it will take 10-20 minutes before it can be dismissed!" The State Secretary repeated what he had said to the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Sure enough!" Morality. Ruiz muttered quietly, a smile involuntarily drawing into his mouth.

Judging by the current time, it is clear that the ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia came here directly after leaving the venue halfway.

This meant that the Prussian ambassador's reaction to the Franco-Austrian alliance was even more agitated than he had imagined.

As a country's diplomatic ambassador, the most taboo thing is impulsiveness, and every impulsive behavior will have a certain degree of impact on the country behind him.

Now De. Ruiz only needed to dry the Prussian ambassador for a while, and the Prussian ambassador in the reception room would naturally be out of order.

When the time comes, De. If Ruiz goes to talk to the Prussian ambassador again, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!

"Then call me in twenty-five minutes, I'll be in a minute!" Morality. Ruiz put down the file in his hand and gave orders to the secretary of state.

"Yes!" The state secretary hurriedly responded, and then left the minister's office.

……

Twenty-five minutes passed quickly, and the light sleep of De. Ruiz was called out from the couch by the secretary of state.

Under the leadership of the Secretary of State, de Anderson. Ruiz came to a room.

"The Prussian ambassador is inside!" Secretary of State to Germany. Ruiz said.

Morality. Ruiz nodded, then pushed open the door and entered the room.

The Prussian ambassador, who was waiting in the reception room, saw the door open. When Ruiz appeared at the door, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Mr. Ambassador, I've kept you waiting!" Morality. Ruiz said, pretending to be tired, holding the Prussian ambassador's hand.

"You're really hard!" The Prussian ambassador complimented: "I'm sorry to call you over as soon as you have finished your regular meeting!" ”

"Nothing!" Morality. Ruiz waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "This is my job!" ”

Morality. Ruiz sat on the sofa with the Prussian ambassador. Ruiys asked the Prussian ambassador: "Is there something you are looking for me?" ”

"Actually, there is nothing!" The Prussian ambassador first denied it, and then asked him about it. Why didn't Chancellor Ruiz go to the Hôtel de Ville in Paris for a meeting between the two monarchs?

Morality. Ruiz told the ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia that he was too busy to attend the ceremony.

"You're too hard!" Once again, the Prussian ambassador expressed his remarks on the Germans. Ruiz complimented.

"Nothing!" Morality. Minister Ruiz shook his head, and then continued: "Your Excellency, if you really have nothing to do, then I will be out of company!" After all, there's a lot of work to be done! ”

Seeing De. The Chancellor Ruiz wanted to leave, and the ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia had no choice but to deal with the German Minister. Ruiz said: "Actually, I do have something I want to talk to you about! ”

"Mr. Ambassador, say it!" Morality. Ruiz paused and replied to the Prussian ambassador with a smile.

"Your Excellency, there are all kinds of people in the world, from upright ministers like you who keep the peace, to thugs with bad intentions who want to cause greater turmoil for their own benefit...... "The Prussian ambassador still used vague diplomatic rhetoric to deal with Germany. Ruiz responded.

"Mr. Ambassador, don't beat around the bush with me! What the hell are you trying to say! "De. Ruiz said to the Prussian ambassador with a pretended impatience.

"If the Kingdom of Prussia wants to fight alongside the French Empire, like Austria, will the French Empire be willing to accept the Kingdom of Prussia?"
