Make France Great Again

"Your Majesty the Duke, don't you know? These requests you have made will require us to spend a lot of money to complete them?"

Marcel Jerug had a displeased look on his face, and he doubted whether Duke Golitsyn really wanted to rebel against the Tsar.

Not to mention anything else, just to contain the Russian army in Finland requires the cooperation of the Kingdom of Sweden.

The Kingdom of Sweden itself does not have the ability to fight the Russian Empire, so they have proposed to Britain and France early that if they want them to be on the front line against the Russian army, Britain and France must provide guarantees for their safety. , and also promised them that after the war is over, the Principality of Finland must be taken back from the hands of the Russian Empire and returned to them!

The conditions of the Kingdom of Sweden are simply a thug used by the French Empire.

Not to mention Bessarabia's ability to contain the Russian army. This condition requires the Austrian Empire to contribute.

The last time they invited the Austrian Empire to conduct a non-confrontational military exercise in the Danube Principality, they relied on coercion (invasion into Italy) and inducement (investment of hundreds of millions of francs).

This time, if Austria wants to continue to exert pressure on the Russian Empire, the price paid will probably be much higher than last time.

"Of course I know!

"Prince Golitsyn responded with a calm expression.

"Then why do you think we will agree to your request?" Marcel Jerug asked Duke Golitsyn again.

"Half and half!" Duke Golitsyn replied, and then asked again: "Mr. Marcel, the reason why you are willing to meet with me is not to cause unrest in Russia!

Now that I have stated my request, you can pretend that you haven’t heard anything! "

Marcel Jerug pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said to Duke Golitsyn: "How sure are you?"

Duke Golitsyn said to Marcel Jerug with five fingers: "If the French Empire can really fulfill the above requirements, I am about 50-60% sure!"

"Only 50% sure?" Marcel Jerug responded to Duke Golitsyn with a slight disappointment.

"Mr. Marcel, we are facing a tyrant who has controlled Russia's destiny for more than 20 years!" Duke Golitsyn continued to Marcel Jerug: "It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for him and If his army is defeated in the Crimean Peninsula, we may not even have a 10% chance!"

Later, Duke Golitsyn assured Marcel Jerug that if he was lucky enough to overthrow the rule of the Russian Empire, he would evacuate all troops from Poland, Finland, and even the Caucasus, allowing him to break away from Russia and establish a country.

Marcel Jerug immediately asked Duke Golitsyn why he did this.

Prince Golitsyn said that the Russian Empire's rule over Poland and Finland was already unpopular, and it would be better to make them independent rather than letting them become a burden that drags down Russia's finances.

And France is probably also happy to see the independence of Poland from Russia!

Marcel Jerug was silent for a moment, but he did not deny Golitsyn's words.

Then, Marcel Jerug told Duke Golitsyn that because his requests were too many, he had to consult the emperor in the Crimean Peninsula.

"Yes!" Duke Golitsyn nodded, and then reminded Marcel Jerug: "Please tell me your reply as soon as possible! I will return to Petersburg in a few days."

"Don't worry! I will give you an answer as soon as possible!" Marcel Jerug responded to Duke Golitsyn.

Later, at the invitation of Duke Golitsyn, Marcel Jerug, Herzen and Duke Golitsyn had another simple dinner.

During this period, Marcel Jeruger asked insinuatingly why Duke Golitsyn appeared here at this time.

Prince Golitsyn just smiled at this, and then responded perfunctorily to Marcel Jerug. He hoped to take one last look at the French scenery before launching a coup.

That night, an encrypted telegram was sent from the basement of the French National Intelligence Service and soon arrived at Jerome Bonaparte's desk.

With the help of the light emitted by the kerosene lamp, Jérôme Bonaparte once again took out the code book from the drawer and translated the encrypted telegram content.

Because the content of the telegram was too long, it took Jerome Bonaparte nearly two hours to complete it.

After the entire translation was completed, Jérôme Bonaparte read it carefully again.

After reading Marcel Jerug's report, Jerome Bonaparte whispered: "Who is this Duke Golitsyn? There seems to be no such person in history! It is Herzen. This guy is historically connected to the Land and Freedom Society!"

Since this incident has not happened in the history that Jerome Bonaparte is familiar with, it is enough to prove that the coup under the leadership of Duke Golitsyn has little chance of success.

Moreover, through the telegram sent by Marcel Jerug, Jerome Bonaparte discovered that Duke Golitsyn also did not understand the Russian Empire.

The Russian democracy that he cherishes so much does not exist in the 20th or 21st centuries, not to mention the 19th century.

Even a democratic country like the Soviet Union still needs to rely on the power of strong men.

Once the strongman is gone, the whole of Russia will return to its original shape.

Not to mention the Russian Federation. Excessive democracy will only lead to the boyarization of the entire country.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte can be sure that if Duke Golitsyn still holds on to his idealist ideas and does not let go, he will inevitably face the fate of being guillotined.

When a person as strong as Lenin seizes power in Russia, he will inevitably centralize power. He needs the vanguard, the Cheka, and the food collection team. He also needs the iron father, Dzerzhinsky, the father of the Red Army, and Buha. Forest……

However, for an overly idealistic idealist, these are just another form of czar.

Not to mention, the loyal association in the hands of Duke Golitsyn was not even as good as the Mensheviks in 1914.

Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte subconsciously wanted to give up cooperation with Duke Golitsyn.

After all, Prince Golitsyn's defeat was already a certainty.

Why should Jerome Bonaparte spend the price to support a loser?

He only needs to completely annihilate the Russian Imperial Army in the Crimean Peninsula, and the Russian Empire will inevitably enter into peace talks with him.

Do I...really need to do this? Is it really good for France to create a temporarily divided Russian empire?

Jérôme Bonaparte began to silently deduce in his mind the situation of the Russian Empire withdrawing from the stage.

If Duke Golitsyn can really capture St. Petersburg, then he can rely on St. Petersburg's industry to fight against the royalists outside St. Petersburg, just like Lenin later did.

You know, the degree of industrialization in the Russian Empire in 1854 was far less than that in 1915, and almost all other regions except St. Petersburg were agricultural areas.

This also means that as long as Duke Golitsyn completely captures St. Petersburg, he will be able to fight a long-term struggle against the royalist troops except St. Petersburg.

Even if Prince Golitsyn is defeated in the end, St. Petersburg will lose its only industrial city because of this struggle.

By that time, the Russian Empire under the leadership of Alexander II will only be weaker than at the same time in history, and will also be more dependent on the capital of the French Empire.

By that time, Jerome Bonaparte had calmly laid out his plans in the German region, luring the Kingdom of Prussia step by step into the trap he had set.

Of course, in the short term, defeating the Russian Empire would not do France any good except helping Britain eliminate the Indian threat.

And Palmerston himself was also a madman who wanted to dismember the Russian Empire.

However, in the long run, the decline of the Russian Empire will be more beneficial to France.

After all, Jérôme Bonaparte had always harbored the dream of crushing Prussia and rebuilding the Latter-wine Alliance.

Among the external forces that prevent him from crushing the German region, the Russian Empire is obviously the biggest threat.

After thinking about this, Jerome Bonaparte decided to grit his teeth and help Duke Golitsyn, even though the price paid by France was probably not proportional to the rewards gained.

If he misses this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he will definitely regret why he didn't do it in the first place.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte sent an encrypted telegram back to Marcel Jerug.

Jerome Bonaparte told Marcel Jerug that he agreed to all the conditions proposed by Prince Golitsyn.

Regarding diplomatic matters, Marcel Jerug can have detailed discussions with Foreign Minister Walevsky.

…

After the telegram was sent to the National Intelligence Agency at 2 o'clock in the morning, the telegraph operator sent the telegram to Marcel Jerug's room as soon as possible.

After reading the telegram, Marcel Jerug was surprised by the decisiveness of Emperor Jerome Bonaparte. He originally thought that the emperor would need to think for a while before replying to him, but he did not expect that he agreed to Duke Golitsyn's request so quickly. Require.

Early the next morning, a carriage set off from the gate of the National Intelligence Service and headed south quickly to the Quai d'Orsay.

Marcel Jeruger, who entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, went straight to the door of the minister's office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!" Minister Walevsky's voice came from the room?

Marcel Jerug opened the door and entered the room, and said to Walevsky who was still at work: "Minister Walevsky, I have something to talk to you about! I wonder if you have time now?" "
