Make France Great Again

Faced with Ivanov Gorchakov's rebuttal, Grand Duke Constantine was speechless.

Although his sixth sense told him that there must be a conspiracy behind Jerome Bonaparte's peace talks, he was unable to prove his conjecture.

All signs show that Jérôme Bonaparte really sincerely hopes that the French Empire and the Russian Empire can put aside their past differences and cooperate.

And from a strategic perspective, collaborating with the British Kingdom to dismember the Russian Empire would not be of great benefit to the French Empire itself.

On the contrary, it may make the French Empire the next target of the British Kingdom.

Of course, if they knew that Jerome Bonaparte was colluding with the rebels in St. Petersburg, then everything behind the peace talks could be explained.

Unfortunately, they don't know the most critical link.

Almost at the end of their rope on the Crimean Peninsula, they chose to believe in the olive branch thrown to them by Jerome Bonaparte.

"By the way! Did Emperor Jerome Bonaparte tell you what the terms of the peace talks were?" Crown Prince Alexander asked Ivanov Gorchakov with a gift.

"Yes!" Ivanov Gorchakov took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, then presented it to him with both hands with a solemn expression: "Emperor Jerome Bonaparte's conditions are all here. In here!”

Crown Prince Alexander took the folded paper, unfolded it and looked at it.

Everyone present also looked at the things in the hands of Crown Prince Alexander with curious eyes. They still didn't know what conditions Jerome Bonaparte would put forward this time.

Crown Prince Alexander read the conditions one by one, exhaled softly, smiled and handed the paper to Jomini who was sitting next to him: "Teacher, look at this, this is Emperor Jerome Bonaparte. The conditions proposed!”

Jomini took the paper from Crown Prince Alexander, and then carefully looked at the conditions proposed by Jérôme Bonaparte.

"After Mr. Jomini has read it, you all should take a look too!" Crown Prince Alexander then said to everyone present.

After a while, Marshal Jomini read the four conditions recorded on the paper, and then handed it to Gorchakov beside him.

After Gorchakov finished reading, Orlov and Grand Duke Constantine also completed it one after another.

The paper recording the conditions proposed by Jerome Bonaparte went around in a circle and returned to the hands of Crown Prince Alexander.

"Tell me! What do you think of this condition?" Crown Prince Alexander leaned back slightly, crossed his hands on his thighs, and looked leisurely.

"Your Highness, the conditions of the French Empire may be difficult for His Majesty the Tsar to accept!" Orlov said to Crown Prince Alexander in a slightly angry tone: "The conditions proposed by France are the same as the last time I was in Vienna, the three countries of Britain, France and Austria The conditions proposed for Russia are basically the same.

The four conditions they proposed are simply wiping out all our efforts over the past few decades!

The advantages we finally gained in the Black Sea and Danube regions will be gone the moment the agreement is signed! "

"Count Orlov is right! Brother, we cannot sign this agreement!" Grand Duke Constantine hurriedly supported Orlov.

"Constantine!" Crown Prince Alexander responded to Grand Duke Constantine in a stern tone: "This is a place for military meetings, there is no big brother!"

"Yes! Your Highness!" Grand Duke Constantine responded with a serious face.

"Constantine, do you also think that we cannot agree to this condition?" Crown Prince Alexander asked Grand Duke Constantine.

"Of course!" Grand Duke Constantine responded decisively, "Father... no! His Majesty the Tsar did not agree to this condition at the beginning, and it should be impossible to agree to this condition now!"

"Okay!" Crown Prince Alexander nodded, then turned to ask Marshal Jomini beside him: "Teacher, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, you want to ask you something!" Marshal Jomini said to Crown Prince Alexander unhurriedly.

"Teacher, please speak!" Crown Prince Alexander responded respectfully.

"Do you think the Russian Empire can still achieve final victory?" Jomini asked Crown Prince Alexander.

Crown Prince Alexander shook his head subconsciously, and then nodded quickly.

"Okay! I understand what you mean!" Marshal Jomini turned his attention to Grand Duke Constantine and Count Orlov. This time he changed his previous tone and asked seriously: "Your Excellency, Grand Duke, Earl Your Excellency, I would like to ask how confident you two are that you can defeat the French army in the Crimean Peninsula!"

Although Konstantin and Orlov clearly opposed the conditions proposed by Jerome Bonaparte, they also had no hope that the Russian Empire could defeat the matter in Crimea.

According to Constantine's idea, it is best for the Crimean War to experience a non-injurious defeat, and then they can use the failure to abandon Bakhchisaray, Simferopol, and even Perekop.

After the army withdrew to the Ukrainian region, it used the vast land to resist.

As long as the British and French coalition forces cannot capture the main Russian army and defeat them, then they only need to wait until the British and French people are tired of the war, and they will be able to obtain a decent peace on relatively fair terms.

Jérôme Bonaparte's conditions clearly deprived Grand Duke Constantine of any desire for respectability.

"Then you can't agree now!" The agitated Grand Duke Constant couldn't help but said to Marshal Jomini, "Teacher, you can't just because you are French..."

Before Grand Duke Constantine could finish speaking, Crown Prince Alexander immediately shouted: "Constantine, do you know what you are talking about?"

Grand Duke Constantine immediately realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and he quickly made up for it: "Teacher, that's not what I meant..."

No matter how Constantine tried to remedy the situation, Marshal Jomini's mind was in chaos at this time.

yes! He knew why the French went to all the trouble to help the Russians against France.

He had long since repaid the kindness of His Majesty the Holy King Alexander and Nicholas I to him with practical actions.

Why is he staying here now? Why! I shouldn't have followed His Majesty's summons to come here in the first place! I'd better go!

Thinking of this, Marshal Jomini immediately said to Alexander II: "Your Highness, please allow me, an incompetent old man, to resign to you!"

"Marshal, you can't leave!"

"Yes! Marshal! Crimea still needs you,"

After hearing Jomini's request to resign in public, several people present tried to retain Jomini.

The current Russian Empire is also in a state of inadequacy in terms of famous generals. The older generation who participated in the Napoleonic Wars and had excellent results is only Marshal Jomini, while the new generation (Commander Gorchakov) is mostly The kind of guy who is not as good as his superiors but more than his inferiors.

As far as the current situation is concerned, if Marshal Jomini leaves, they will lose even more confidence.

"Teacher, I was wrong! Please don't leave!" As the initiator of all this, Grand Duke Constantine was also panicked. He hurriedly came to Marshal Jomini and apologized to Marshal Jomini.

Jomini shook his head and said with a loving look in his eyes: "Your Majesty the Grand Duke, you are right! As a Frenchman, I should not have participated in this battle..."

"Teacher! Although you are French, your love for Russia is obvious to all of us. I don't think a nation can easily obliterate your contribution to the Russian Empire!" Crown Prince Alexander also said to Jomini Save the road.

"Yes! Teacher, we need you! The Russian Empire needs you!" Grand Duke Constantine pleaded to Marshal Jomini.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, thank you very much for your recognition of me!" Regarding the words of Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine asking him to stay, Marshal Jomini expressed his gratitude: "However, I really shouldn't stay here! I As a Frenchman, I love Russia, and I also love France! I really don’t want to see either of you defeated by the other, so please allow me to bid you farewell!”

"No? I don't agree!" Crown Prince Alexander responded firmly, and then emphasized: "I will never agree to your resignation, and I believe my father will not agree either!"

"Your Highness, why are you doing this?" Marshal Jomini said to Crown Prince Alexander with a wry smile.

Later, Marshal Jomini told Crown Prince Alexander that even if he was forced to stay here, he would never do anything related to the military again.

"Your Highness, please allow me to leave here!" Marshal Jomini bowed to Crown Prince Alexander again, then turned around and opened the door to leave.

Looking at the disappearing figure of Marshal Jomini, Crown Prince Alexander once again pretended to be Grand Duke Constantine and shouted: "Look at what you have done!"

"I..." Archduke Constantine lowered his head in shame. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com

"From now on, I will deprive you of all rights in the army! Constantine, you will no longer be eligible to participate in military meetings!" Alexander II ordered Constantine with majesty.

Constantine, who knew he was in the wrong, lowered his head and responded to Alexander II: "As you command!"

Immediately afterwards, Constantine also followed Marshal Jomini and left the room.

Now, there are only four people left in the room: Crown Prince Alexander, Count Orlov, Commander Gorchakov and Major Ivanov Gorchakov.

"Hey! Let's go back to the topic just now!"
