The victory of two consecutive rounds of negotiations gave Ambassador Cowley a sense of flutter.

However, before Ambassador Cowley could be pleased for a moment, Farroch, who was sitting across from him, spoke in Persian: "Ambassador Cowley, how should we talk about our terms?" ”

The interpreter sitting next to Farroch quickly translated Farroch's Persian into French and spoke it to Ambassador Caughley.

Ambassador Cowley smiled and extended his hand in English to Special Envoy Faroch in response: "Of course! I'm listening! ”

Special Envoy Faroch cleared his throat and replied to Ambassador Cauley: "Since we have agreed to two conditions for your country, we also hope that your country will agree to some of them!" ”

After the translator had translated Farroch's words to Ambassador Cowley, Ambassador Cowley said in a calm tone: "As long as the conditions you put forward are reasonable enough, then I am willing to agree to your conditions on behalf of the Kingdom of Britain!" ”

"Good!" Special Envoy Faroch held out a finger to Ambassador Lao Li and said: "We hope that your country will be able to evacuate all our ports, regions and islands after the treaty is signed. ”

Subsequently, Special Envoy Faroch went out of his way to emphasize: "I'm talking about all! ”

Ambassador Caughley certainly understood what Farroch meant by what he had deliberately emphasized.

It is nothing more than the question of the ownership of the city of Muhammad, which the Ottomans have never given up on this delta of the Euphrates, the only seaport on the Euphrates that the Turks can navigate regularly (because the port of Basra is too small for ships with a large load capacity for certain times of the year).

Long before Ambassador Cowley came to France, Prime Minister Palmerston made a point of talking to him about the city of Moham, and Palmerston told Cowley that if the Kingdom of Qajar did not specifically state the ownership of the city of Muhammad, then he would ask Ambassador Cowley to make the question of the ownership of the city of Muhammad ambiguous.

Only then could Britain claim the city of Muhammad on the pretext that it was neither part of the Ottomans nor part of the Kingdom of Persia.

"Britain can guarantee that after the signing of the treaty, the ports, regions and islands of the Kingdom of Persia will be withdrawn, and the Qajar dynasty will be given an intact territory without disputes!" Ambassador Cowley tried to use a diplomatic trap to make the issue of Mohammed City ambiguous.

After all, the city of Muhammad was not undisputed territory, and the Ottoman Empire next door had always had a dispute with Persia.

Unfortunately, Farroch did not fall into the language trap of Ambassador Cauley, and he made a point of asking: "This includes the city of Muhammad, right?" ”

Ambassador Cowley had a hesitant look on his face. Seeing this, Bonaparte immediately spoke: "Ambassador Cauley, since the Kingdom of Britain wants to conclude a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Cauga, it should not invade the territory of other countries.

No country will engage in peace talks knowing that its territory has been invaded! ”

"That's right!" Ambassador Faroch said to Ambassador Cowley in a firm tone, "We are willing to give up sovereignty over Afghanistan and parts of Herat in order to maintain peace and stability in the entire Central Asian region!"

If the Kingdom of Britain is unwilling to return the city of Muhammad to us, then I have reason to suspect that the Kingdom of Britain does not want to negotiate peace at all! ”

"What exactly do you want to do, Mr. Ambassador Cauley? Are you really ready to watch the negotiations break down? "Jerome sitting on the throne. Bonaparte also slapped the armrest and whispered to Ambassador Cowley.

Ambassador Cauley knew Jérôme. Bonaparte was helping Persia to put pressure on him to determine the ownership of the city of Muhammad.

And Jérôme. The reason why Bonaparte was willing to help Persia put pressure on him was probably because he received some benefits from the Kingdom of Qajar.

However, Ambassador Cowley himself was not willing to cause the negotiations to break down for this reason.

After all, France was also involved in the negotiations.

If he insists on causing the negotiations to break down, the Kingdom of Britain will inevitably lose face for the French Empire.

I am afraid that the relationship between Britain and France will face twists and turns.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ambassador Caughley sighed and said to Farroh: "My army will be withdrawn from the territory of the Persian friends, including the city of Muhammad. ”

"Thank you very much!" Farroch politely thanked him, and then continued: "My second condition is that if one day our country is invaded by any region/country in Herat or Afghanistan, our army has the right to suppress the invaders!" ”

Cowley had a sudden and inexplicable sense of immediacy when he heard what Farroch had said, and after a moment of careful thought, it occurred to Ambassador Cowley that this condition was not the second repetition of the 1853 clause.

It's just that three days after signing the terms, the Kaiga Kingdom Lin unilaterally tore up the terms.

"I wish I had added one more sentence to the end!" Ambassador Caughley said to Ambassador Farroch.

After a while, Ambassador Farroch asked, "What?" ”

"The Persian government has the right to attack the country that invaded them, but after completing the mission, it must return to its own territory as soon as possible!

There can be no occupation for the purpose of aggression! Ambassador Cowley said, looking at Jérôme on the throne. Bonaparte, "I'm right! Your Majesty the Emperor! ”

Damn, didn't I just say that?

Jérôme on the seat. Bonaparte had the feeling of lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

At the moment he could not refute Ambassador Cowley, after all, Jérôme. Bonaparte had just said that it had not been long since then, and even if he had forgotten it, he would not have forgotten it all so quickly.

[To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, reading aloud with more timbre, Android and Apple can be.】 】

Unless Jérôme. Bonaparte publicly announced that he was a fish with only seven seconds of memory.

"Of course!" Jérôme Bonaparte replied to Ambassador Cauley with a smile on his face.

Ambassador Cowley looked at Ambassador Farroch with a smile on his face, and Ambassador Farroch also spoke: "On behalf of the Kingdom of Qajar, I agree to your request!" ”

"That's great!" Ambassador Caughley to Ambassador Faroch, "Our two countries are one step closer to peace! ”

Thus, Ambassador Cowley put forward his third condition.

That is, the Kingdom of Britain wants to re-establish its embassy in Tehran, where the Consul General, Consul, Vice Consul and Consular staff enjoy the privileges of the most favored country.

"I promise you!" Ambassador Farroch decisively acceded to Ambassador Lao's request and then put forward his own conditions.

Ambassador Farroch hoped that the Kingdom of Britain would relinquish its right to protect any Persian subject who would not in fact act for the British Envoy or the British Consul General, Consul, Vice-Consul and Consular Clerk in the future (in simple terms, the Kingdom of Britain would be required to set the following threshold for the protection of lackeys).

After all, this war was waged because the Kingdom of Britain fought a war to protect the Persians who worked for them. ）

"On behalf of the British government, I agree to your terms!" Ambassador Caughley responded to Ambassador Farroch.

……

Ambassador Caughley and Ambassador Farroch put forward their respective conditions, one by one, and the time soon passed for more than two hours.

After the negotiations were over, it was almost 4 p.m.

The Governments of Ambassador Cowley and Ambassador Farroch put forward a total of 15 conditions on the question of Britain and Persia.

Most of these conditions were given by Britain to the Kingdom of Kejah, and a small number were required by the Kingdom of Keja to be fulfilled by the Kingdom of Britain.

When the two clerks exchanged their terms, the meeting officially came to a successful conclusion.

Jérôme sitting on the throne. Bonaparte also stepped down from his throne and shook hands with Ambassadors Cowley and Farroch, as well as with the interpreters and clerks present.

"From now on, the relationship between Britain and Persia will reach a new level!" Jérôme. At the end of the meeting, Bonaparte said a nonsense that was not nutritious.

Ambassador Cowley left the Douilleri Palace first, and he was to report the news to London as soon as possible.

And Faroch stood in Jérôme. In front of Bonaparte, he held his hand and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, thank you very much for your righteous words just now!"

I can assure you that the Kingdom of Qajar will never forget what you have done! ”

In the face of Ambassador Faroch's assurances, Jérôme. Bonaparte just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

After all, there are only naked interests between countries.

Don't look at the fact that the Kingdom of Caiga has relied on France to protect its own interests, but they will never be able to fall to France.

The Russian Empire was still their first choice, even if the current Russian Empire was still in the stage of civil strife.

Here is a word about the civil war in the Russian Empire, where the All-Russian Emperor Alexander II and his Prime Minister Gorchakov have returned to Moscow.

The government of the Second Russian Empire in St. Petersburg, although already at a disadvantage on the battlefield, still resisted stubbornly.

Especially after the accession of some Italian, Hungarian, and Polish revolutionaries (mainly from the Grand Duchy of Posen), the combat effectiveness of the St. Petersburg army remained unchanged.

Therefore, it was not a simple matter for Alexander II to achieve complete victory.

It was expected that the two sides would fight for at least two years before the real winner could be decided, and during this period of the war, wealthy people from St. Petersburg, Moscow and other cities began to flee the Russian Empire one after another.

More than 5,000 of these wealthy people from the Russian Empire have taken root in France, and their consumers have added a touch of vitality to the French economy with money brought from their hometowns.

……

The day after the negotiations, the front pages of the Parisian newspapers were the news of peace talks between the Kingdom of Britain and the Qajar dynasty.

The article reveals between the lines that there is no French Empire, no Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte, the Kingdom of Britain could not have concluded a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Qajar.

It greatly satisfies the psychology of the French people's great-power chauvinism.
