Make France Great Again

Facing the sarcasm of Minister De Ruys, Orlov looked at De Ruys without any shame and said: "The purpose of the Russian Empire's military operations against the Ottoman Empire is to help The Ottoman Empire de-radicalizes and safeguards the rights of Slav compatriots in the Ottoman Empire. Our first phase of action is to punish the extremist forces in the Danube Principality and maintain peace on the European continent. In order to prevent the Russian Imperial Army from removing extremist forces in the Danube During the period, the Ottoman Empire may have a sneak attack. That’s why our army has to go to Silistra Fortress and closely monitor the movements of Silistra Fortress.”

"What a high-sounding reason!" De Ruys once again said in an exaggerated and sarcastic tone: "I have never seen a country like the Russian Empire that blatantly invades the territory of other countries and ignores the sovereignty of other countries."

"Minister De Luys, the purpose of the Russian Empire is only to protect the rights of our Slav compatriots in the Ottoman Empire not to be oppressed by the Ottoman Empire government! You are misinterpreting the policies of the Russian Empire government!" Count Orlov was just. Said rhetorically.

"Okay! If it is true, as Count Orlov said, that the Russian Empire carried out a military operation against the Ottoman Empire in order to protect the rights of the Slavic people not to be oppressed in the Ottoman Empire, then I would like to ask, if One day other countries..." De Luys paused and showed an apologetic smile to Count Bauer: "Let me give an analogy, for example: the Austrian Empire... As we all know, there are not a few Slavic peoples in the Austrian Empire. If one day, the Slavs in the Austrian Empire are also oppressed, and the Slavs in the Austrian Empire can't bear the oppression and ask for help from the Russian Empire. The Russian Empire will not treat the Austrian Empire the same way it treated the Ottoman Empire.

After all, the Count just said that the Russian Empire can take action against the Slavs in the Ottoman Empire, regardless of the fact that this is a prerequisite for the internal affairs of a sovereign country. "

De Ruys's words left Orlov with no excuse to refute.

The reason is that the legal basis Orlov found for the Russian Empire's invasion of the Ottoman Empire is too nonsense.

Of course, considering that Count Orlov himself is not a diplomat with a real professional background, but a temporary diplomat with a background as a spy chief.

In addition, the Russian Empire's understanding of diplomacy still remains at "I am strong and I am reasonable!" "Austria Empire, you must learn to be grateful."

It is not surprising that Count Orlov himself made map-cannon remarks. In the concept of the Russian Empire, there have never been any true allies, only enemies and protectors (the current Prussia and the First World War) French Republic) and son (Austrian Empire).

[PS: If you are interested, you can take a look at the article published by RIA Novosti recently: What should Russia do to Ukraine?

The content of the article is full of 19th-century chauvinist concepts. After reading the entire article, the author has some doubts that the most appropriate place for this proclamation from the Russian Empire is on the eve of the Crimean War, not the 21st century.

In other words, is it possible that Russia’s foreign policy has not changed at all? 】

"These two issues cannot be generalized! The Ottoman Empire is the Ottoman Empire, and the Austrian Empire is the Austrian Empire!" Count Orlov tried to use ambiguous words to resolve the sharp question raised by Minister De Ruys.

As the host of the meeting, Earl Bauer frowned to show his displeasure.

Since the Russian Empire could use this method to invade the Ottoman Empire, why not use the same method to invade the Austrian Empire.

Seeing that the situation was gradually turning against the development of the Russian Empire, Count Orlov hurriedly assured Count Bauer: "The Russian Empire will never take action against his friends! The Russian Empire cherishes the friendship of the Austrian Empire, and we hope that the Austrian Empire can cooperate with The Russian Empire stands together to safeguard peace and stability on the Danube!"

idiot!

Count Orlov's assurance in public made Count Bauer's remaining goodwill towards the Russian Empire once again decrease.

The role of the Austrian Empire in this four-party talks is to be a mediator (the Austrian Empire is more inclined to Britain and France) and a neutralist, and Orlov's speech is undoubtedly intended to draw the Austrian Empire into their camp. , causing the Austrian Empire to lose its dominant position in this conference.

"Your Excellency, I invite you and the envoys from Britain and France to come here on your Majesty's order. It is not to announce to you both whose side the Austrian Empire will be on! But I want to use this opportunity to bridge the existing contradictions between you two! Let peace return to the European continent!" Earl Bauer said coldly.

"Okay! Since Count Ball has already said that this is a peaceful negotiation, then we are also willing to have a candid exchange of views with the Russian Empire for the sake of European peace!" Count Clarendon said eagerly.

"What's France's opinion?" Count Bauer asked De Ruys in a calm tone.

"The opinion of the British Kingdom is the opinion of the entire coalition!" De Ruisf responded to Earl Bauer.

"Then do you want to continue talking about the Russian Empire?" Count Bauer asked Count Orlov.

"Yes!" Count Orlov nodded.

Count Clarendon immediately expressed his first opinion to Count Orlov: "We hope that the Russian Imperial Army can give up its territorial claims on Serbia and the Danube Principality, and these territories will be returned to the protection of the Ottoman Empire's high government. under!"

"No! I don't agree!" Orlov immediately opposed Count Clarendon: "Once the Ottoman Empire returns to the Danube Principality, it will inevitably target the people of the Danube Principality. I don't want to see an inhumane butcher's knife in the Danube Principality. The Danube Principalities are on stage!”

In response to Orlov's objection, Count Bauer said: "Count Clarendon, the Austrian Empire agrees with the Russian Empire on this issue!"

Seeing Count Bauer supporting him, Count Orlov's face showed a hint of joy.

He thought that the Austrian Empire still stood with the Russian Empire, but he had no idea that the condition proposed by Earl Clarendon was the condition that had been negotiated long ago.

Count Orlov's opposition was also expected by Count Clarendon. After hesitating for a moment, Count Clarendon said: "Then we will modify the plan. These territories will be placed under the control of European powers and high-level governments." Under joint protection, the high-level government does not allow the wanton slaughter of Danubian people, how about this!"

Before Count Orlov could speak, Count Baoer nodded and said: "Okay!"

"Okay!" Count Orlov could only agree.

"Second, the Danube is open to all commercial navigation!"

"I object!" Orlov shouted in opposition.

For a long time, the Russian Empire had a monopoly on commercial trade on the Danube River.

Nowadays, it is underestimated that the Danube River should be opened to commercial navigation. Isn't this just trying to kill the Russian Empire?

"Then put this one aside for now!" The Earl of Clarendon did not dwell too much on this one, and went straight to startling: "We hope to "take the balance of power in Europe" as the goal and amend the Straits Convention (Russian Empire) Dominance in the Black Sea will be suspended)"

"Objection!" Count Orlov said without hesitation: "Since you said "European balance of power," we hope that Britain and France will reduce your navies in the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean for the sake of European balance of power!"

"This issue is not within the scope of today's discussion!" Earl Clarendon responded forcefully.

"In that case, please allow me to leave first!" Count Orlov said to Count Clarendon. He wanted to use this method to express his protest against the "unequal" treaty between Britain and France.

Immediately, Count Orlov turned and left Schonbrunn Palace.

After Count Orlov left, Count Clarendon and Minister De Ruys left one after another.

Over the next week, Count Orlov began to seek foreign aid. He first visited the Prussian ambassador, hoping that they would stand with the Russian Empire and help them as they had helped the Prussian Empire in 1851.

The Prussian ambassador regretfully told Orlov that he was just an ordinary ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia to Austria and had no right to agree to Orlov's request privately.

However, he would send a telegram to Prussia asking about the attitude of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Count Orlov left the Prussian embassy with great gratitude, and then visited the Belgian embassy. (Orlov really doesn’t know who else is with them)

The Ambassador of the Belgian Embassy also told Orlov that they knew there was no way. Find Book Garden wwwｗw.zhaoshuｽuan.com The strength of the two countries, Britain and France, was far greater than theirs. Even if they wanted to help the Russian Empire, it would be of no use. .

At the suggestion of the Belgian ambassador, Orlov went in search of the ambassador of the United States of America.

The Ambassador of the United States of America also made a casual remark, and told Orlov that the United States was not capable of intervening in the disputes of old Europe.

The successive conflicts made Count Orlov realize that the Russian Empire seemed to be isolated from the world.

When Orlov found Count Bauer again and started to interrupt the meeting, Count Bauer decisively agreed to Orlov's request.

The four-party talks began again on April 15.

This meeting will truly determine the fate of the Russian Empire.
