Make France Great Again

After getting rid of the "Sword of Damocles" entrenched above Petersburg's head, Duke Golitsyn quickly submitted to the Kingdom of Britain, the French Empire, and Sardinia in the name of the "new government" authorized by Nicholas I. The Kingdom of Asia, the Kingdom of Sweden, and the Ottoman Empire issued requests for peace talks.

Duke Golitsyn declared: The new government is committed to maintaining bilateral relations with the Western world, and hopes that Britain and France can negotiate and cooperate with each other on the basis of mutual respect!

Faced with the request from St. Petersburg, the British cabinet, which was still unclear about what happened in St. Petersburg, seemed particularly slow.

Although Palmerston held several cabinet meetings in succession, the British cabinet never reached a consensus.

Palmerston had no choice but to go to Windsor Castle to seek help from Prince Albert.

Under the leadership of the butler, Palmerston entered a guest room in Windsor Castle.

Here, he saw Prince Albert standing with his hands behind his back.

"Your Highness!" Palmerston bowed slightly to Prince Albert to show respect.

"Prime Minister Palmerston, please sit down!" Prince Albert invited Palmerston to sit down, and then poured a cup of black tea for Palmerston and himself.

Later, Palmerston tentatively asked Albert in long and convoluted official language how he should treat Duke Golitsyn's invitation to peace talks.

"Prime Minister Palmerston, it's up to you!" Albert took a sip of black tea and responded to Palmerston with a smile, "Because you are the irreplaceable core of the entire cabinet!"

"I..." Palmerston pondered for a long time. He didn't know whether Albert's words were praising him or hurting him.

After all, his recent actions have indeed been a bit too exaggerated.

(Because some time ago, the British and French troops achieved a decisive success in capturing Suomenlinna. The self-confident Palmerston ignored the warnings of the French Empire and insisted on relying on Britain's own strength to capture the Kronshtadt military port. As a result, Kronshtadt was defeated. The Russian army in the military port was given a direct lesson, and nearly 6,000 British soldiers were almost wiped out)

"Your Highness, the royal family is the undisputed core of Britain! The cabinet is just an institution that helps the royal family manage Britain conveniently!" Palmerston said softly to Prince Albert in a low voice.

Seeing that his beating on Palmerston had achieved certain results, Albert simply didn't bother to show off. He responded to Palmerston in a nonchalant tone: "However, I did hear some news here! I don't know about Palmerston." Prime Minister Maxton, is he willing to listen?"

"Your Highness, please speak!" Prime Minister Palmerston asked Prince Albert quickly.

Prince Albert told Palmerston that just one day ago, Queen Augusta in Paris sent them a telegram. The telegram said that she was about to give birth. At the end of the telegram, Augusta said The queen vaguely mentioned what was happening in St. Petersburg, and expressed her hope that the Romanov family would be safe.

After listening to Albert's words, Palmerston immediately realized that what was happening in St. Petersburg, not to mention it was related to France, at least France should be an insider. He only needed to ask the French ambassador's views on the new government. That's it.

Palmerston hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Prince Albert. If it were not for Prince Albert, he would have been busy for a while like a headless fly.

After clearing his mind three times, Palmerston hurriedly bid farewell to Albert, who smiled and waved his hand.

Prime Minister Palmerston, who returned to No. 10 Downing Street from Windsor Castle, personally invited the French Ambassador to Britain to a restaurant for dinner.

During the meal, Prime Minister Palmerston politely asked the French Ambassador to Britain what he thought of the new government formed by Duke Golitsyn.

"Mr. Palmerston, in what capacity do you ask me this question?" Wallet, the ambassador to Britain, asked lightly.

After hesitating for a moment, Palmerston responded to Valette: "Valette, of course I am doing this as a friend!"

"Since we are friends, then I will talk openly!" Of course Valette did not believe in the so-called friend status. The reason why he was willing to tell him this was entirely because of the order issued by Paris. "What Paris means is, who has the control?" If the current regime in the Russian Empire is over, we will talk to whomever!”

"So, you want to have peace talks with the government led by Golitsyn?" Palmerston asked subconsciously.

"I didn't say that!" Valette immediately retorted, "This is just your own wild guess!"

Prime Minister Palmerston shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless smile on his face.

"What that means is that as long as Duke Golitsyn is willing to maintain the monarchy and cede some Russian interests, it is not impossible to have a conversation!" Valette lowered his voice and responded to Palmerston: "After all, our purpose Isn’t it just to bring the Russian Empire to its knees?”

"Where is Crimea?" Palmerston asked next.

"We can talk!" Valette replied to Palmerston, "Our purpose is to weaken the Russian Empire, not to help them maintain power!

Whoever sells more profit will be favored by us! "

"I understand!" Palmerston nodded hastily.

Later, Palmerston left the meal early on the grounds that he was busy with official duties, leaving Valette to eat leisurely alone.

After Valette had eaten and drank enough, the restaurant manager handed Valette a check worth 10,000 pounds and told him that this was a small token of appreciation from the restaurant.

Valette, who accepted the check, naturally understood that the check was a reward from Palmerston.

After all, diplomatic ambassadors are allowed to peddle undisclosed parts of foreign policy as long as they do not interfere with their country's interests.

This can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the diplomatic community.

"Thank your boss for me!" Valette said to the restaurant manager with a smile, then stood up and left the restaurant.

Two more days passed, and Sardinia first began to respond to Duke Golitsyn's request for peace talks.

The Kingdom of Sardinia is willing to talk to all forces willing to maintain peace in Europe... In other words, the Kingdom of Sardinia means that it is willing to accept the new government under the leadership of Duke Golitsyn.

This response can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. Although the Kingdom of Sardinia is a second-rate European power, the French Empire is behind it.

These words spoken by Sardinia to the outside world may very well mean what the French Empire means.

The reason why the French Empire was unwilling to issue this declaration in its own name was probably because it was concerned that the new government formed by Duke Golitsyn had legal deficiencies.

Therefore, Palmerston also imitated the French Empire's behavior of wearing a waistcoat and going into battle.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Kingdom of Sweden also followed the Kingdom of Sardinia and announced that it was willing to cooperate with the Russian Empire on bilateral issues and jointly maintain peace in Europe.

Early the next morning, Duke Golitsyn once again declared that he was willing to conduct friendly consultations with the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of Sweden to jointly resolve some controversial issues. At the same time, he hoped that the "Kingdom of Sweden" and the "Kingdom of Sardinia" “Being able to send envoys to the Russian Empire to talk face to face.

Duke Golitsyn's proposal was quickly endorsed by the "Kingdom of Sweden" and the "Kingdom of Sardinia". They claimed that they would send envoys to St. Petersburg for consultations in the near future, hoping that the Russian Empire could be maintained during this period. Order in St. Petersburg!

After receiving the replies from the "Kingdom of Sweden" and "The Kingdom of Sardinia", Duke Golitsyn excitedly said to Andrei Nikolayev Golitsyn beside him: "We succeeded! Unexpectedly, they actually Will help us in this way!”

Andrew Nikolayev Golitsyn, who was slightly less sensitive to political issues, asked Duke Golitsyn puzzledly how Britain and France helped them!

Duke Golitsyn told him that Britain and France were helping them in disguise by asking them to "maintain order in St. Petersburg."

"I still don't understand!" Andrei Nikolayev Golitsyn was still confused.

Duke Golitsyn explained to him that neither the nobles nor the citizens of the Russian Empire wanted to continue fighting. Peace talks with Britain and France could be said to be the common long-cherished wish of the entire Russian Empire. Now Britain and France proposed to form a new government with him. Conducting peace talks is equivalent to recognizing the legitimacy of the government he leads to a certain extent, and "maintaining order in St. Petersburg" is a warning to those nobles who attempt to launch a rebellion in Petersburg to be a little more honest during the peace talks.

Otherwise, any hope of peace talks will collapse in the blink of an eye.

Duke Golitsyn believed that even if the Russian nobles in St. Petersburg hated him now, they would not kill him at this time.

Once the peace talks fail, their wealth will shrink further.

When it comes to maintaining the tsarist system and maintaining personal property, the vast majority of nobles will probably choose to protect their personal property.

Therefore, they can take advantage of this period to find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to tidy up the entire St. Petersburg.

"That's it!" Andrei Nikolayev Golitsyn woke up as if from a dream, then shook his head and sighed: "I am really not suitable for politics!"

"Then just keep an eye on the army for me!" Duke Golitsyn said in a brisk tone, and then asked Andrei Nikolayev Golitsyn to appoint Nikolai O, the director of the Third Department. Erlov called over.

"Yes!" Andrew turned and left.

After a while, Nikolai Orlov appeared in front of Prince Golitsyn.

Prince Golitsyn told Nikolai Orlov that from now on, the Third Hall will be given the functions of the Public Security Committee, responsible for eliminating all people who are not conducive to the new regime.
