Chapter 692: Peace talks break down and war begins

In Jérôme. Under Bonaparte's tough attitude, Alexander II also had to change his previous laissez-faire posture and began to personally go to the same situation with Jérôme. Bonaparte made representations.

For the sake of their respective positions and interests, the two sides went back and forth for several hours, and the time gradually came to noon.

Hungry Jérôme. Bonaparte hurriedly raised his hand and suggested to Alexander II: "It is not a matter of time and a half, or we will talk after lunch!" ”

Alexander II, who also felt a little hungry, nodded and said, "Good! ”

So, Jérôme. Bonaparte hurriedly put away the papers on the table, and Alexander II also ordered Gorchakov and Neschel Rodie to take the documents that belonged to them back in their briefcases.

The desktop that was originally full of documents was cleaned up in the blink of an eye. Bonaparte turned his head and gave the order to "open the meal" to the officer who was now behind him.

Seeing this, the officer hurried to the back kitchen and ordered the cook in the back kitchen to bring out the lunch that had already been prepared.

With the help of the chef's homemade suggestion trolley, garlic sausage, bread, foie gras and a large pot of broth...... It was brought up one by one.

Looking at the delicacies that filled the entire table, the Russian Imperial Mission from afar subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the original resentment against the French Mission (in the negotiation, it is inevitable that the two sides will dispute each other over a certain clause, and fierce disputes are easy to produce resentment), also disappeared under the effect of food.

Right here in Jérôme. When Bonaparte invited Alexander II and the others to start their meal, he suddenly wanted to see how the food of the troops stationed outside the Yalta garrison was fed.

So, Jérôme. Bonaparte excused himself from the cafeteria for the time being.

Jérôme detached from the canteen. Bonaparte quickly went to the regimental headquarters stationed near Yalta, and at this time, wisps of cooking smoke also rose above the regimental headquarters. Seeing this, Bonaparte immediately ran to the station.

In the regimental headquarters, he saw a steaming marching pot propped up on the ground, and below the marching pot was burning firewood.

When Jérôme. When Bonaparte arrived at the marching pot, he saw the mutton soup boiling in the marching pot, and he hurriedly said to the soldier who was a part-time cook, "Bring me a bowl!" ”

"What's the hurry! Not yet! There was an impatient look on the cook's face, he didn't seem to know Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"Hmm!" Jérôme. Bonaparte had no choice but to give up the idea of tasting and turned away.

Not yet waiting for Jérôme. Bonaparte took two steps outside the barracks, and behind him came a shout: "Your Majesty! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte turned and glanced behind him, and he saw the shocked eyes behind him, the stunned expressions of the cooks who rejected him, and the regimental staff officers who were rushing in his direction.

The regimental staff officer came to Jérôme. In front of Bonaparte, saluted and reported his name to the troops to which he belonged, Jérôme. Bonaparte returned the favor to him!

Then, Jérôme. Bonaparte praised the regimental staff officer again: "You have done a good job! In winter, you should eat some mutton to replenish your body! ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do!" The regimental staff officer modestly responded.

Subsequently, the regimental staff officer asked Jérôme. Why did Bonaparte come here, was there something going on in Yalta?

"Not really!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head, and then told the regimental staff officer that the purpose of his visit was only to see how the food of the garrison army was!

"Please rest assured!" The regimental staff officer hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured: "We will follow your instructions and will not treat every soldier who fights for France badly!" ”

"That's good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction.

Then he casually asked, did these sheep give money?

"This ......" The regimental staff officer said two sentences.

Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately understood that most of the sheep were snatched from the homes of the Crimean "fellows", and he had to sigh and respond to the regimental staff: "Don't take it as an example!" ”

"Yes!" The regimental staff officer hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte promised that there would be no next time.

Looking at the sworn officer in front of him, Jerome. Bonaparte was sure that there would definitely be a next time.

After all, the French army is essentially a group of mercenary bandits, and even during the National War, the bandits' attributes have not changed.

Jérôme. Bonaparte could not and was unwilling to change the inherent attributes of France.

The reason why the French army is willing to support them is not so that they can lead them to the road to prosperity.

If he transformed this guy into a group of warriors made of special materials, then he was the first one the soldiers overthrown.

As the emperor of France, he only needs to ensure the interests of the French army and the French.

The rest, such as the great unity of the proletariat and the world revolution, will be handed over to future generations.

After all, trust the wisdom of future generations (laughs).

Jérôme went to the barracks for a stroll around. Bonaparte returned to the canteen in Yalta, and when he stepped into the canteen again, he found that Alexander II and the others had not moved much during the time he had been away.

"Eat! Why don't you eat it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, then sat back in his place, pointed to the foie gras placed in front of him, and said to Alexander II: "What a good thing to eat!" ”

"Your Majesty, you haven't come yet! We don't dare to eat it! Alexander II addressed Jérôme in a mocking tone. Bonaparte responded.

"What's this!" Jérôme. Bonaparte unceremoniously cut off a piece of foie gras and stuffed it into his mouth, munched on it: "Eat! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's unscrupulous eating made everyone present let go of their causes, and they also began to use the knife, and lunch officially began.

Due to the lack of wine, the lunch lasted only half an hour before it was over.

After a short rest, the well-fed and well-fed people began the second round of negotiations.

The second round of negotiations in the afternoon was less gunpowder than the first, but Valevsky and Nesherrody still did not back down in terms of positions and interests.

Throughout the afternoon, the two sides gradually negotiated the third question concerning the navigation rights of the Russian Empire, namely, that the merchant ships of the Russian Empire could sail on the Danube under the supervision of Britain, France and Austria.

Just as the two sides were about to talk about Article 4. Time, Jérôme. Patterson appeared in Yalta.

Jérôme. Bonaparte hastily stopped the negotiations and followed Jérôme. Patterson left together.

"What's going on over there in Sevastopol?" Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately inquired about Jérôme. Patterson Road.

"Paris received a letter from St. Petersburg in which Duke Golitsyn said that they were going to launch a coup d'état against Nicholas I at the end of the month! He wants us to crush the Russian Empire on the Crimean peninsula as much as possible, so that they will not be able to pull back and return! "Jérôme. Patterson vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"Good! I know! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to Jérôme. Patterson responded.

When Jérôme. When Bonaparte had returned to the reteen, he suddenly said to Alexander II: "I don't think we need to talk anymore!" ”

"Your Majesty, you agreed!" Misunderstanding Jérôme. Bonaparte meant that Alexander II also thought that Jérôme. Bonaparte was ready to make concessions on the fourth.

If Jérôme. If Bonaparte is willing to back down on the fourth, he will have absolute certainty of winning the peace!

"What do I agree with?" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Alexander II in a calm tone, "I mean that the negotiations between the French Empire and the Russian Empire will end from now on, and it will be up to us to see what our two countries are capable of on the battlefield!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's abrupt suspension made Alexander II feel a little difficult to accept.

He has made a lot of concessions for this peace talk, and now Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly told him that there would be no more peace talks, and this was not a joke on the Russian Empire!

Thinking of this, Alexander II felt like a complete fool, and was killed by Jérôme. Bonaparte played with it in the palm of his hand.

"Your Majesty, it was you who proposed the peace talks, and now you want to tear up the peace talks!" Alexander II blushed and roared, "What are you doing this for?" ”

"For what?" Jérôme. Bonaparte thought for a moment, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face, "If I say it's just for fun, would you believe it?" ”

Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte's reply, Alexander II was struck by lightning, his face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled, "Liars, scoundrels, you and your henchmen are a bunch of complete liars!" ”

"Alexander!" Jérôme. Bonaparte cast a sympathetic look at Alexander II, "We are at war, not a child's game, so a little fraud is necessary!" ”

"I swear, I'm going to send you and your army to hell!" Alexander II angrily rushed to Jerom. Bonaparte shouted.

"Alexander, there will always be a certain gap between the ideal and the reality!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied unhurriedly: "Sometimes reality is more terrible than the ideal!" By the way, there is one more thing, the war between us will officially begin at dawn tomorrow, and I hope that you and your soldiers will be ready for the French attack! ”

That evening, Jérôme. Bonaparte returned to the Sevastopol fortress and actively deployed a strategic plan for the attack on Bakhchisaray and Simferopol.

And Alexander II, on the other hand, gave all the power to Gorchakov and left himself alone in the room in a daze.
