Ambassador Gorchakov had to wait for another day in Bakhchisaray and get up early the next morning to wait for Jérôme. The arrival of Bonaparte and Wallewski.

And Jérôme. Bonaparte and Valevsky clearly had no intention of negotiating, they set out from Sevastopol unhurriedly and did not arrive in Bakhchisaray until noon.

Then, after having a light lunch at the barracks in Bakhchisaray, we arrived at the French headquarters to meet with Ambassador Gorchakov!

"Ambassador Gorchakov is really sorry to keep you waiting! If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have kept you waiting here! "Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately pretended to be very apologetic, holding Ambassador Gorchakov's hand and saying to him.

Ambassador Gorchakov, of course, understands that Jérôme. This sentence of Bonaparte is nothing more than a polite remark, Jérôme. The reason why Bonaparte made them wait so long was nothing more than to kill their spirits so that the negotiations would be more inclined to them.

So, Gorchakov shook his head at Jérôme. Bonaparte showed weakness: "Nothing! In fact, we are the ones who should apologize the most!

If it weren't for us, Your Majesty would still be enjoying life in Constantinople by now! ”

"It's nothing, for the sake of peace in Europe, it's worth the pain," Jérôme. Bonaparte responded to Ambassador Gorchakov with a smile.

"Your Majesty, what you said is really good!" Ambassador Gorchakov responded complimentarily.

After a short pleasantries, Jérôme. Bonaparte with Ambassador Gorchakov...... No, to be precise, it represents Jérôme. Minister Valewski of Bonaparte and Ambassador Gorchakov, representing Alexander II, began to enter the negotiation stage.

"Your Excellency, you should know a series of things that have happened in our country in the recent past." Ambassador Gorchakov, who had been waiting for a long time, did not want to make any more detours, so he asked Minister Valevsky directly.

"I deeply sympathize with what happened to Crown Prince Alexander!" Valevsky responded to Ambassador Gorchakov.

After all, according to the policy released by the new government in St. Petersburg, Alexander had been deprived of the Russian Tsar's right to inherit by the Constitutional Council of the Russian Empire.

The new Tsar of the Russian Empire was now his minor child, and Duke Golitsyn was unanimously elected regent of the Russian Empire and chairman of the Council of the First of the Russian Empire.

It can be said that he is now the first consul of the New Russian Empire.

If it were not cloaked in a tsar's garb, it would have been a complete republic.

Although Valevsky knew the state of the Russian Empire better than Ambassador Gorchakov in his heart, he still had to put on a look of ignorance.

"I'm a little curious, though! Why does the newly formed State Duma of your country have the right to abolish one of the tsar's heirs! Could it be that your country has reached such a point of democracy? ”

Valewski's sarcastic remarks pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey gave Gorchakov an embarrassed look on his face.

Even though Gorchakov knew in his heart that Britain and France had an ambiguous relationship with the traitorous government of Petersburg (otherwise, why would the "Kingdom of Sweden" and the "Kingdom of Sardinia" send people), he still had to cooperate with Valewski's performance.

"Your Excellency, in fact, our crown prince not only does not recognize the sentence of the State Duma, but also the State Duma established in Petersburg!"

"That's interesting!" A smile of interest appeared at the corner of Valevsky's mouth, "Since you do not recognize the rights of the State Duma, then how did this State Duma appear!" ”

"Actually, the State Duma was kidnapped by traitors from the Petersburg region to our monarch Nikolai and coerce him to establish a body of power!" Commander Gorchakov responded to Valevsky, "Now our monarch is still in a state of uncertainty about life and death, and these guys who have stolen power through intrigue are brazenly proclaiming the creation of a new Russian Empire in Petersburg!" ”

"Ambassador Gorchakov, isn't that good?" Ambassador Vallefs replied with a nonchalant face: "The Russian Empire really needs to make some changes!" ”

"Your Excellency, I also think that the Russian Empire does need to change, but this change should not be done by a group of traitors!" Ambassador Gorchakov said with a sad face: "It should be promulgated by His Majesty the Emperor or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, in order to change the whole of Russia in an orderly and gradual way."

And not to forcibly change the whole of Russia by radical means. ”

"However, they did enact laws in the name of the new emperor!" Valevsky replied with a rhetorical remark, "If I am not mistaken, the current Emperor of the Russian Empire is the son of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander, and his inheritance is only behind Crown Prince Alexander." ”

"However, the new emperor does not have the ability to be independent!" Ambassador Gorchakov then responded to Valevsky: "All his bills were created by that traitor Golitsyn!" ”

Valevsky spread his hands and said to Ambassador Gorchakov: "Your Excellency, the question of the right to inherit the throne is just your family affair, and I don't want to explore it too much with you.

Whether you want it or not, it's just your own subjective opinion!

In my case, the new tsar of the Russian Empire is also legally effective!

Sometimes the power of a monarch does not necessarily come from God, but from the subjects who live in the land under his rule! ”

Speaking of this, Valevsky subconsciously glanced at Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. An approving smile appeared on Bonaparte's lips.

Ambassador Gorchakov was also aware that it would not be understood at all to talk about the divine authority of kings and ministers in front of him.

Because of Jérôme. Bonaparte's throne was decided by a referendum, and it was impossible for him to deny the legitimacy of the referendum.

Ambassador Gorchakov had no choice but to change his mind and put the traitors in the Petersburg region on the line: "Could it be that as the sole legitimate government of France, your country wants to intercede for those rebels?" ”

"Rebels?" Minister Valevsky still had a smile on his face, "If this is characterized as a rebel, then what will be the original Catherine gaze and the Holy King of your country?" ”

Ambassador Gorchakov's expression froze, he really forgot that the coup d'état in the Russian Empire itself is an old tradition, and if rebellion is really characterized as a rebellion, then there are too many traitors in the Russian Empire.

"Your Excellency, the traitors in the Petersburg region are very different from the palace coups of the past!" Ambassador Gorchakov replied to Valevsky: "This time the traitors are more revolutionary than ever!" If this revolution succeeds in Russia, it will spread like an ordinary plague.

When the time comes, the whole of Europe will have to face what happened a few years ago. ”

"So, what are you going to do?" Valevsky asked Gorchakov.

"We hope that your country can look at the same monarchy and pull the Russian emperor along!" Ambassador Gorchakov whispered to Valevsky, "The French Empire, as a monarchy, should work with Russia to resist the revolution!" We warmly welcome the French Empire into the European monarchy family! ”

"Ambassador Gorchakov, even if your country does not welcome us, it will not hurt!" Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly said to Ambassador Gorchakov: "After all, the Russian Empire is the only country that does not recognize our country as a monarchy and still regards me as an enemy. ”

Face Jérôme. Bonaparte's answer, Ambassador Gorchakov hurriedly said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, everything before is a misunderstanding!" Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we, the Russian Empire, will be your best brother! ”

"Brother Russia, I'm really unblessed!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said mercilessly, "Who knows if you will stab me as soon as the crisis is over!" ”

"Nope! No! Gorchakov shook his head desperately and replied sincerely: "We, the Russian Empire, treat every friend very sincerely, and will never do anything that harms our friends!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "All right! I believe you, in what way are you going to end the battle! ”

"Your Majesty, we hope to be able to stop the war for the time being!" Ambassador Gorchakov was well acquainted with Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Ambassador Gorchakov, are you fooling me?" Jérôme. Bonaparte frowned and questioned Ambassador Gorchakov.

"Of course not!" Ambassador Gorchakov hastened to respond.

"Now that your 180,000 troops are surrounded by me, I don't know what reason you have for me to give up eating them!" Jérôme. Bonaparte snorted coldly, "Isn't it too whimsical to want to stop the war now!" ”

"Your Majesty, what do you want us to do?" Ambassador Gorchakov expressed his gratitude to Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"You must formally surrender to us!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Ambassador Gorchakov, "I can assure you that after your surrender, you will retain your formations, and at the same time return to you some of the captured soldiers!" ”

"We are willing to surrender!" Ambassador Gorchakov hastened to respond.

The current Russian army has reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the truce and surrender are just a battle for face.

Reflecting that their face has been lost in the previous battle, they don't care about losing some more!
