Abdou, who received assurances from the Ambassador of Britain. Rahman's heart, which had been a little apprehensive, finally relaxed, and he hurriedly thanked the British ambassador and gave him a valuable gift.

The British ambassador who accepted the gift instantly smiled, and he once again expressed his gratitude to Abdu. Rahman wrote a blank check.

On the other hand, the French and Spanish ambassadors, who had departed from Rabat, returned to their respective embassies and immediately sent Abdou A. Rahman refused to report the matter to the Paris/Madrid government.

……

The letterhead from Rabat took five days to cross the Mediterranean Sea and most of France, and finally arrived at the headquarters of the French Imperial Foreign Office in mid-February.

After receiving the letter, the subordinate agency immediately handed over the letter to the secretary of state, and the secretary of state who received the letter did not delay for a moment and turned to the minister's office.

At this time, in the minister's office, the Foreign Minister of the French Empire, de Anderson. Luyns was sitting at his desk, flipping through the documents handed over by the French Embassy in Ottoman, which were about Post's envoy to Faroch. Sweat. Arrangements for Amin Morke's itinerary upon arrival.

True, the Poste envoy, who had been in Constantinople for more than three months, finally abandoned the United States of America at the beginning of February of this year and turned to the French Empire for assistance.

The reason why the Kingdom of Qajar gave up so quickly (in the era of diplomacy in years, three months was already relatively fast) The United States of America chose the French Empire for two reasons: 1. Because the strong military power of the Kingdom of Britain made it impossible for the Qajar Dynasty to conduct diplomatic activities leisurely.

In the course of three months, the British army led by the Duke of Cambridge won successive battles, eliminating nearly half of the field troops and native garrisons under the Kingdom of Qajar (the field troops were killed, and they had to fight a decisive battle with the British army, and were directly beaten by the British army), and the troops originally stationed in the Herat area were also forced to be transferred from Herat to China for defense.

However, even if they had withdrawn the remaining field forces from Herat, the Kingdom of Qajar would no longer dare to attack Britain.

The British also learned the lessons of Afghanistan and did not go too far into the interior, but relied on their unshakable naval dominance to blockade all the ports of the Qajar dynasty.

Nowadays, the Qajar Dynasty has become a veritable landlocked country, and if it continues to be blockaded like this, the entire economy of the Qajar Kingdom will be destroyed by the Kingdom of Britain.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Qajar dynasty itself to continue to wait for the "good offices" of the United States of America.

2. It was because of the active promotion of the Russian Empire (Alexander II) behind the Qajar dynasty.

For these two reasons, the Qajar dynasty abandoned the United States of America and instead considered seeking help from the French Empire.

In order to find out whether the French Empire was willing to stand up for the Kingdom of Qajar, Post asked Faroch to take the lead. Sweat. Amin Molk first visited Fouad, then the Ottoman Foreign Minister

When Fouad heard that Post made Farroch. Sweat. When Amin Mork came to visit with gifts, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

Fouad didn't understand why Poste had come to visit him, but since Poste had already come, Fouad couldn't refuse.

As a result, Fouad warmly received Faroch. Sweat. Amin Moore is gone.

In the same farroch. Sweat. During the exchange with Armin Morke, Fouad learned that the purpose of Post's visit was to get in touch with the French ambassador to Haussmann through himself.

It seems that Post made the face of the gift, and Fouad took the errand of threading the needle.

Faroch. Sweat. Armin Mork was able to meet with the French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire at Fouad's residence.

The two men who had just met were reluctant to get to the point, until Fouad, as an intermediary, explained to the French ambassador to Haussmann the purpose of the Postt envoy.

Farroch, who has been rambling all the time. Sweat. Amin Mork was only then on topic, and he hoped to make a state visit to Paris on behalf of the Qajar dynasty.

(The subtext is that the French Empire will be able to take a stand on the issue of the Kingdom of Cajar and the Kingdom of Britain.)

After all, at this time, the Kingdom of Qajar was at war with the Kingdom of Britain.

The fact that the envoy of the Kingdom of Qajar was allowed to visit Paris was also an indication of France's attitude. ）

The French ambassador to Haussmann immediately said that he would have to inquire about the matter in Paris before he could inform the envoy of Post.

Faroch. Sweat. Amin Mork readily agreed, but he hoped that France had better be quicker on the issue.

On the evening of the end of the talks, the French embassy in Haussmann sent a telegram to Paris detailing his meeting with Post, and asking if France would allow him to go to France.

After a layover, the telegram arrived in Paris, less than two hours after the French embassy in Haussmann sent the telegram.

At that time, after reading the telegram, De. Luynes immediately ordered his telegraph office to send a telegram to the French embassy in Ottoman agreeing to Post's visit to France.

In the early hours of the next morning, the French embassy in Haussmann received a telegram from Paris.

In the afternoon of the following day, the French ambassador to Haussmann went directly to the hotel where the Post envoy was staying and informed him that he had been allowed to visit France.

The envoy then thanked the French ambassador to Haussmann and asked the French ambassador to Haussmann to give him another day to prepare.

The French ambassador to Haussmann agreed with Faroch. Sweat. Amin Morke's request,

Another day passed, and Farroch. Sweat. Armin Mork arrived at the French embassy in Ottoman, to which he handed over his travel arrangements to the French ambassador.

Faroch. Sweat. Amin Mork told the French ambassador that he would follow the schedule.

The French ambassador to Haussmann nodded and said that he would definitely send the message back to France as soon as possible.

……

Morality. What Luyne had in his hand was the itinerary forwarded by the French embassy in the Ottoman Empire, and after reading the itinerary, he made corresponding arrangements for the itinerary of the Post envoy, and finally wrote down all the arrangements on paper and handed them to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Only in Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte must agree before all deployments take effect.

Just in Germany. Lu Yinsi was about to finish writing all the deployment arrangements when there was a knock on the door.

Morality. Lu Yinsi briefly raised his head and said "Please come in" outside the door, and then lowered his head again.

The door slowly opened, and the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs entered, holding a letter from the Kingdom of Morocco.

"Your Excellency, I have here a letter from the Kingdom of Morocco, see if you ...... now," the Secretary of State cautiously asked the Virtuous Writer. Lu Yinsi.

Morality. After hearing the state secretary's return, Lu Yinsi briefly raised his head, and then pointed to the free seat of the desk and said, "Got it! Let's put the letter here first! ”

"Yes!" The secretary of state hurried to trot to De. At his desk, he placed the letter in De. Lu Yinsi designated the position.

"If nothing happens, you can leave!" Morality. Lu Yinsi stopped writing for a short time and said a word.

"Yes!" The Secretary of State was ordered to leave.

After another hour, De. Lu Yinsi stopped writing, and then read it carefully, and after reading everything he had written, his face unconsciously smiled.

Immediately afterwards, De. Lu Yinsi remembered the letter he had just asked the secretary of state to put at his desk,

Morality. Lu Yinsi took the letter in his hand behind him, tore open the envelope, took out the stationery, and read it carefully.

Morality. Lu Yinsi's expression gradually changed from the previous joy to solemnity, and he also muttered quietly: "How dare they? ”

After a while, De. Lu Yinsi put the letter back in the envelope, then put it in his briefcase with the itinerary he had just written, and got up to leave the office.

Virtue walking in the corridor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Lu Yinsi met the state secretary again at the top of the staircase, and he immediately gave the order to the state secretary: "Go and prepare a carriage for me!" ”

"Yes!" The Secretary of State did not hesitate at all. Lu Yinsi responded, then turned and trotted downstairs.

Arrive at the first floor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After waiting quietly for a moment, the state secretary reappeared in front of him.

"Minister Lu Yinsi, the carriage is ready!" Secretary of State to Germany. Lu Yinsi replied.

"I know! Thank you! "De. After a word of encouragement, Lu Yinsi rushed out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building and left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a carriage.

The carriage carried de Luinse east along the rue du d'Orsay until it reached a north-south bridge, where it continued westward to the Düinleries on the Champs-Élysées.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Douilleri Palace. Lu Yinsi pushed the car door and got out of the car.

Enter the hall of the Palazzo de Douilleri. Luyins soon met Basilio.

Under the leadership of Basilio, de . Luynes came to Jérôme. Bonaparte's face.

"Let me guess what you're going to report today?" Jérôme. After Bonaparte pondered for a moment, he said to Des. Lu Yinsi said, "Is it the news of Post's visit?" ”

Morality. A flash of surprise flashed in Lu Yinsi's eyes, but he didn't expect Jérôme. Bonaparte guessed one of these things so quickly.

"That's right, Your Majesty!" Morality. Luyne nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, then added: "But there is not only about Post's envoys. ”

"Did the Moroccan side reply as well?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked with a smile, and from the expression on his hand, it seemed that the emperor had known about it a long time ago.

"That's right!"

Morality. As he spoke, Luyns put the letter of the French ambassador to Morocco and the documents of the itinerary of the envoy to Jérôme. Bonaparte's desk.

"Don't worry, let's watch them one by one!"
