"Your Excellency, don't you know? Do you have to spend a lot of money to fulfill these requirements? ”

Marcel. There was a look of displeasure on Yaruger's face, and he was very suspicious that Duke Golitsyn really wanted to rebel against the Tsar.

If nothing else, the condition of containing the Russian army in the Finnish region alone requires the cooperation of the Kingdom of Sweden.

The Kingdom of Sweden itself was not capable of fighting the Russian Empire, so they proposed to the British and French early on that if they wanted to be on the front line against the Russian army, then the British and French had to provide for their safety, and at the same time assure them that after the war, the Duchy of Finland must be recaptured from the hands of the Russian Empire!

This condition of the Kingdom of Sweden is simply a thug of the French Empire.

Not to mention that Bessarabia could contain the Russian army, a condition that would have to be made even more necessary for the Austrian Empire to contribute.

The last time they asked the Austrian Empire to conduct a non-confrontational military exercise in the Danube principalities, it was by coercion (into Italy) and inducements (hundreds of millions of francs in investment).

This time, if Austria wants to continue to impose on the Russian Empire, the price paid is probably much more than the last time.

"Of course I know!

Duke Golitsyn replied with a look on his face.

"Then why do you think we will agree to your request?" Marcel. Yaruger asked Duke Golitsyn again.

"Half and half!" Duke Golitsyn replied, and then asked rhetorically: "Monsieur Marcel, the reason why you are willing to meet with me is not to cause turmoil in Russia!"

Now that I've spoken my request, you can act as if you didn't hear anything! ”

Marcel. Yaruger pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said to Duke Golitsyn, "How sure are you? ”

Duke Golitsyn deep five fingers on Marcel. Yaruger said: "If the French Empire can really fulfill the above requirements, I am about 5-6% sure!" ”

"Is it only 50% sure?" Marcel. Yarug replied to Duke Golitsyn with a slight disappointment.

"Mr. Marcel, we are facing a tyrant who has held the fate of Russia for more than twenty years!" Duke of Golitsyn vs. Marcel. Yaruger continued: "It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the defeat of him and his army in the Crimean Peninsula, we probably would not even have a 10% chance!" ”

Subsequently, the Duke of Golitsyn sent a letter to Marcel. Jeruger promised that if he had the chance to overthrow the Russian Empire, he would withdraw all the troops from Poland, Finland, and even the Caucasus, allowing him to secede from Russia.

Marcel. Yaruger immediately asked Duke Golitsyn why he had done this.

Duke Golitsyn said that the Russian Empire's rule over Poland and Finland was already unpopular, and that it was better to make them independent than to be a burden to Russia's finances.

And France is probably also happy to see the independence of Poland from Russia!

Marcel. Yaruger was silent for a moment, he did not deny Golitsyn's words.

Then, Marcel. Yeruger told Duke Golitsyn that he had to consult the Emperor in the Crimean Peninsula because he had made so many demands.

"Yes!" Duke Golitsyn nodded, then reminded Marcel. Yaruger: "Please tell me a reply as soon as possible!" In a few days, I will return to Petersburg. ”

"Don't worry! I will get back to you as soon as possible! "Marcel. Yaruger responded to Duke Golitsyn.

Subsequently, at the invitation of the Duke of Golitsyn, Marcel. The trio of Yaruger, Herzen and Duke Golitsyn had another simple dinner.

During the period, Marcel. Yaruger tapped again and asked why Duke Golitsyn was here at this time.

Duke Golitsyn only smiled at this, and then responded to Marcel perfunctorily. Yaruger, who wanted to take one last look at the landscape of France before launching a coup d'état.

That evening, an encrypted telegram was sent from the basement of the French National Intelligence Service and soon arrived in Jérôme. Bonaparte's desk.

With the help of the light emitted by kerosene lamps, Jérôme. Bonaparte once again took out the code book from the drawer and translated the encrypted telegram contents.

Due to the length of the telegram, Jérôme. It took Bonaparte almost two hours to complete it all.

When all the translations were completed, Jérôme. Bonaparte read it carefully.

After reading Marcel. Jerome of the Yaruger Report. Bonaparte muttered, "Who is this Duke of Golitsyn?" There doesn't seem to be such a person in history! Herzen is a guy who has historically been associated with the Land and Freedom Society! ”

Since in Jérôme. The fact that this did not happen in Bonaparte's well-known history is enough to prove that the coup d'état under the Duke of Golitsyn had little chance of success at all.

And by Marcel. Telegram from Yaruger, Jérôme. Bonaparte discovered that the Duke of Golitsyn also did not understand the Russian Empire.

The Russian democracy he had in mind did not exist in the 19th century, even in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Even a democratic country like the Soviets needs to rely on the strength of strongmen.

Once the strongman is gone, then the whole of Russia will have to fight back to its original shape.

Not to mention the Russian Federation in the back, where excessive democracy will only lead to a tendency for the whole country to be Bojarized.

Hence Jérôme. Bonaparte was certain that if Duke Golitsyn still clings to the idealistic mindset and does not let go, he will inevitably face the fate of guillotine.

When a person as strong as Lenin seized power in Russia, he also inevitably carried out the centralization of power, he needed the vanguard, the Cheka, the grain conscription, and he also needed the Iron Father, Dzerzhinsky, the father of the Red Army, Bukharin......

However, for an overly idealistic idealist, these are not another form of tsar.

Not to mention that the loyal association in the hands of Duke Golitsyn was even inferior to the Mensheviks in 1914.

Thinking of this, Jérôme. Bonaparte subconsciously wanted to give up cooperation with Duke Golitsyn.

After all, the defeat of Duke Golitsyn was already a foregone conclusion.

Jérôme. Why should Bonaparte spend the price of supporting a loser?

He only needs to completely annihilate the Russian Imperial Army on the Crimean Peninsula, and the Russian Empire will inevitably enter into peace talks with him.

I...... Is it really necessary to do this? Is it really good for France to create a temporarily divided Russian Empire?

Jérôme. Bonaparte began to silently deduce in his mind the withdrawal of the Russian Empire from the stage.

If Duke Golitsyn could really take St. Petersburg, he would be able to rely on St. Petersburg industry to fight the royalists outside St. Petersburg, as Lenin did.

You know, in 1854 the Russian Empire was much less industrialized than in 1915, and almost all of the regions except St. Petersburg were agrarian.

This meant that as long as Duke Golitsyn completely occupied St. Petersburg, he would be able to fight a long time against the royalist armies except St. Petersburg.

Even if Duke Golitsyn were to be defeated, St. Petersburg would lose its only industrial city as a result of this struggle.

By that time, the Russian Empire under Alexander II would only be weaker than it had been at the same time in history, and it would have become more dependent on the capital of the French Empire.

By that time, Jérôme. Bonaparte calmly laid out the German region, and gradually lured the Kingdom of Prussia into the trap he had set.

Of course, in the short term, the collapse of the Russian Empire would do France itself little good, except to help Britain remove the Indian threat.

And Palmerston himself was also a madman who wanted to dismember the Russian Empire.

In the long run, however, the decline of the Russian Empire would be more beneficial to France.

After all, Jérôme . Bonaparte had always cherished the dream of crushing Prussia and rebuilding the Lyonian League.

Of the external powers that prevented him from crushing the German region, the threat to the Russian Empire was clearly the greatest.

Jérôme who figured this out. Bonaparte decided to grit his teeth and help Duke Golitsyn, even if the price paid by France was likely not proportional to the reward.

If he had let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he would have regretted why he hadn't done it in the first place.

So, Jérôme. Bonaparte again asked Marcel. Yaruger replied with an encrypted telegram.

Jérôme. Bonaparte told Marcel. Yaruger, he agreed to all the conditions put forward by Duke Golitsyn.

On the diplomatic side, Marcel. Yaruger could hold a detailed meeting with Foreign Secretary Valentsky.

……

After the telegram was sent to the National Intelligence Service at 2 a.m., the telegraph operator immediately sent the telegram to Marcel. Yaruger's room.

Marcel after reading the telegram. Yaruger for Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte was surprised by his determination, he had expected that the Emperor would have to think for a while before replying to him, but he did not expect to agree to Duke Golitsyn's request so quickly.

Early the next morning, a horse-drawn carriage departed from the gates of the National Intelligence Service and headed south to the Quai d'Orsay.

Enter Marcel in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Yaruger went straight to the door of the minister's office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!" Minister Valevsky's voice came from inside the room?

Marcel. Yaruger pushed open the door and entered the room, and said to Valevsky, who was still in the office: "Minister Valentsky, I have something I want to talk to you about!" I wonder if you have time now? ”
