When the company commander and the members of the mission arrived at the gate of the headquarters of the French expeditionary force, they were immediately intercepted by the soldiers guarding the headquarters.

After some exchange, the doorman glanced at the mission behind the company commander, and said in a light tone: "You wait here, I'll go to Tongyu!" ”

With that, the soldier turned around and entered the headquarters.

After a while, the adjutant came out with the soldiers, and after glancing at the mission, he pointed to the mission and said, "Please come with me!" ”

The Russian mission followed the adjutant into the headquarters and came to the entrance of Commander Perissier's office.

The adjutant knocked lightly on the door, and from the other end came the voice of Pelisier: "Please come in!" ”

The Russian mission, which entered the office, saw Marshal Perissye on the couch near his desk.

Of course, Marshal Pelissye also saw the members of the Russian mission.

"Marshal Perissier!" The "chief" of the members of the mission bowed to Pelissier in French, "I am here on the orders of Commander Gorchakov to negotiate with your army on behalf of our army!" ”

"Gorchakov?" Pelissye chuckled, and then stared at the "chief" in front of him with his eyes, and said word by word: "Your Highness Alexander, I don't think Gorchakov has the ability to order you!" ”

Your Highness?!!!! He is......

Jérôme, who was in charge of bringing the mission to the office. Adjutant Paterson had a look of shock on his face, and the only person who could be honored by Marshal Pelisier as His Royal Highness was probably the crown prince of the Russian Empire.

When the members of the surrounding missions heard that Pelissier had revealed his identity, they all stood in front of the "chief" and pulled out their guns and pointed them at Pelisier.

"Chieftain" ...... No, it should be said that Crown Prince Alexander had a look of astonishment on his face, he did not understand why he was exposed in front of Pelissier, obviously he and Pelissier had not met at all.

"Your Highness, are you here to assassinate me?" Pelissier said to Crown Prince Alexander with a calm face, "I am honored to say that!" ”

"Put down the gun!" Looking at the somewhat overreacted entourage in front of him, Crown Prince Alexander ordered in an unquestioning tone.

The attendants put their guns back away, and Pelisier stretched out his hand and invited, "Your Highness, please be seated!" ”

Crown Prince Alexander sat down next to Pelissier and asked Pelissier curiously: "Marshal Pelissier, how did you recognize me!" I don't remember the two of us meeting! ”

"Your Highness, I saw you from afar at a banquet of Her Majesty Queen Victoria! I was still a military attaché in Britain at the time, and I was invited by Her Majesty Queen Victoria to a banquet at Buckingham Palace! Pelissier explained to Crown Prince Alexander with a smile.

Crown Prince Alexander smiled wryly, regretting that he should have learned more about Pelisier's resume.

"Your Highness, I don't know why you suddenly visited our Sevastopol!" Rather than seeing Crown Prince Alexander as an enemy, Pelisier asked Alexander respectfully.

"Mr. Marshal, Sevastopol is the territory of our Russian Empire!" Crown Prince Alexander corrected Pelissier and said, "You are only temporarily occupying this place!" ”

"Your Highness, a short-term occupation may not be able to turn into a long-term possession! Crimea was not originally the territory of the Russian Emperor! Pelisier said indifferently.

"We signed an agreement with the Ottoman Empire! Now this is our territory, and your army is now invading our territory! Crown Prince Alexander also retorted.

"Your Highness, aggression or not depends not on us, but on the inhabitants of the fortress of Sevastopol!" Pointing to Sevastopol outside the window, Pelisier shrugged his shoulders and said to Crown Prince Alexander: "Obviously! The people here don't think we're aggressors, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in this place! ”

"They don't understand anything at all!" Crown Prince Alexander said with a hint of contempt in his words.

"Your Highness, although they don't understand anything, they will speak with practical actions!" "Before we arrived, there was nothing here, they were like serfs living in the Middle Ages.

And when we came to Sevastopol, we built stores for them and treated them relatively equally...... By the way, the Serfdom was also abolished, and now all the Slavs in Sevastopol have become equal free people! ”

"What! You abolished serfdom! Crown Prince Alexander looked at Pelisier with horror, he wanted to abolish serfdom, but he did not want to abolish it in this way.

The actions of the French Empire reminded him of decades, the formidable empire.

"Yes!" Pelisier nodded and added to Crown Prince Alexander: "The abolition of serfdom in the Crimean Peninsula is not only demanded by our French family, but also by Britain!"

We will carry it out not only in Sevastopol, but also on the Crimean peninsula! When our troops enter Odessa, we will also pursue this policy in the Odessa region! ”

"Nope! You can't do that! Crown Prince Alexander shook his head desperately and shouted at Pelissier: "You are destroying Russia!" ”

"Your Highness, this is war!" Pelissier said to Crown Prince Alexander with a serious face: "I think you should know that war is to weaken the opponent as much as possible!" ”

"What you do will definitely be resisted by Europe!" Crown Prince Alexander reluctantly replied to Pelisier.

"Your Highness, is there any other country in Europe other than Russia that still practices serfdom?" Pelisier argued: "Moreover, the abolition of serfdom also has a share in the Kingdom of Britain!" ”

"You...... You ......" Crown Prince Alexander, feeling that he was facing an opponent who did not follow the rules, tried to calm himself and confronted Pelissier, "Do you want to destroy the Russian Empire so much?" ”

"No...... We don't want to destroy the Russian Empire! A voice came from the doorway of the office.

I saw Marshal Perissier get up from his seat in a hurry, and Crown Prince Alexander also turned his head and stood up.

That's right, the person who appeared at the door of the office was none other than the French Emperor Jérôme. Bonaparte.

At this time, he walked unhurriedly in front of Crown Prince Alexander, and looked curiously at the "peer" in front of him, who had a good evaluation in the future.

At the same time, Crown Prince Alexander was looking at Jérôme with the same gaze. Bonaparte.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out his hand to Crown Prince Alexander and said: "Welcome to Sevastopol, Alexander!" ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor!" Alexander said as he addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed.

Subsequently, Crown Prince Alexander and Jérôme. Bonaparte sat down on the sofa and Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at the entourage behind Alexander II and said, "Alexander, don't you think that the number of people in the office is a little more than it can accommodate?" ”

Seeing this, Alexander II immediately ordered his retinue to stand outside the door and wait. Bonaparte likewise commanded Jérôme. Patterson went to wait outside the door.

At this point, only a French emperor, a future Russian tsar, and a marshal of the French Empire were left in the room.

"Alexander, I admire your courage to break into Sevastopol alone!" Jérôme. Bonaparte closed his hands, smiled with interest on the corners of his mouth, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will use you as a threat to let your troops in the Crimean Peninsula surrender without a fight?" ”

"I believe in your magnanimity, Your Majesty, as a monarch!" Crown Prince Alexander first went to compliment, and then continued: "But even if you do it to me, it will only be a house arrest for me!" The Imperial Army will not stop me from fighting because I am under house arrest! ”

The reason why Crown Prince Alexander had no fear was because of his confidence in the monarchy. Bonaparte did not dare to do it to himself.

And once the European countries know the news of his captivity, they will definitely not let him be harmed.

"Didn't Gorchakov stop you?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked curiously.

"I didn't tell Commander Gorchakov, now he probably thinks I'm still in Simferopol!" Alexander II against Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

Jérôme. Bonaparte gave a thumbs up to Alexander II, who he greatly admired for his courage.

If he had been Alexander II, he would not have broken into Sevastopol alone.

"Alexander, what is your purpose?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Alexander II.

"Your Majesty, the French Empire and the Russian Empire could have been a pair of mutually dependent allies! Don't you think it's a pity to meet in the Crimea? Alexander II asked Jérôme with a sincere expression. Bonaparte said.

"Alexander, this is due to your father!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed, and seemed to regret the bitterness between the Russian Empire and the French Empire, "If he hadn't insisted on attacking the Ottoman Empire in the first place, then things would not have come to this point!" Since you Russia have refused peace again and again, then I will give you war! ”

"Your Majesty, maybe it was indeed our mistake before!" Surprisingly, Alexander went so far as to admit Jérôme. "But now I think that between the French Empire and the Russian Empire, there should be no more mistakes!" ”
