Make France Great Again

Chapter 707 Negotiations resume

On the other hand, as soon as Ivanov Gorchakov, who returned to Simferopol from Bakhchisaray, entered the city, he was informed that Crown Prince Alexander wanted him to go to the headquarters immediately. Gorchakov hurriedly rode to his headquarters in the center of Simferopol.

When Ivanov Gorchakov arrived at the headquarters, he immediately felt the decadent atmosphere permeating the headquarters.

From the guards guarding the headquarters to the adjutants, staff officers, and clerks inside the headquarters, everyone's face revealed a sense of dejection. This atmosphere was in sharp contrast to the confidence and belief he felt at the French headquarters. .

"Alas!" Looking at the group of colleagues in front of him who had completely lost their fighting spirit, Ivanov Gorchakov couldn't help but sigh.

If he had not visited the French headquarters, he might not have realized that the morale of the Russian Empire had fallen to this point.

After all, once an individual is infected by collective emotions, it is difficult for him to break away from this emotion.

Under the leadership of a certain adjutant in the headquarters, Ivanov Gorchakov quickly arrived at the office of Crown Prince Alexander.

Ivanov Gorchakov stood at the door of the office and knocked gently. After a while, the voice of Crown Prince Alexander came from the office: "Come in!"

Ivanov Gorchakov quickly opened the door and entered the office. When he entered the office, he found that not only the crown prince was in the office of Crown Prince Alexander, but also Commander Gorchakov, Count Orlov and Gorchako. Husband Ambassador.

As soon as Ivanov Gorchakov entered the door, he heard Crown Prince Alexander asking impatiently: "Lieutenant Colonel Ivanov, how is the situation over there in the French Empire? His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte Are you willing to have peace talks with us?"

"Your Highness!" A bitter smile appeared on Ivanov Gorchakov's lips. He shook his head and said in a low voice: "This time when I went to the French Headquarters, I did not see His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte!"

"Didn't you see it?" Alexander II showed an anxious look on his face, and he asked again: "What about Foreign Minister Walewski? You should have seen this by now, right?"

Ivanov Gorchakov shook his head again and responded to Alexander II: "The people from the French headquarters told me that Foreign Minister Valevsky and His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte have gone to Constantine Fort! It’s expected to take more than two months to come back!”

"Oh God!" Crown Prince Alexander couldn't help shouting in a low voice.

For Alexander II, who now wanted to return to Petersburg to put down the rebellion, every day he stayed in Simferopol meant that their chances of winning were reduced by one point.

If they really want to waste two months here, then the rebels in the Petersburg area can take advantage of this time to consolidate their position in the Petersburg area and take Moscow into their hands.

By then, it would be difficult for Alexander II to quell the rebellion.

If things go wrong, they will most likely be wiped out by the rebels in St. Petersburg.

After all, St. Petersburg and Moscow can be said to be the essence of the entire Russian Empire.

Once the rebels establish a stable and authoritative government in these two areas, they will be able to form a crushing situation outside these two areas.

After hearing Ivanov Gorchakov's answer, the faces of the Gorchakov brothers and Orlov also turned gloomy. They also understood what the two-month stay meant to them.

Therefore, Count Orlov couldn't help but make suggestions to Alexander II: "Your Highness, break out! I don't believe that they can completely stop our army!"

"Your Excellency, Count!" Commander Gorchakov replied to Count Orlov: "If we do not reach an agreement with France, even if we are lucky enough to break out, we will be chased by the coalition forces!

By then, let alone annihilating the traitors in St. Petersburg, we would be lucky not to be annihilated by the traitors in St. Petersburg! "

"Then what are we going to do?" Count Orlov stood up and yelled at Commander Gorchakov: "Now we are trapped in this damn ghost place, and we can't retreat even if we want to! Do we really want to Are you prepared to stay here for two months?"

For Count Orlov, returning to Petersburg one day early means that his property (manor, castle) can be slightly saved, which is all the money that his family has worked hard to save!

"Your Majesty, it's useless for you to get angry at me now!" Commander Gorchakov suppressed his inner anger and responded patiently to Count Orlov: "The top priority now is to reach an agreement with the French army as soon as possible. Peace talks! We can’t waste too much time here!”

"Commander Gorchakov is right!" Alexander II turned his eyes to Count Orlov and said slowly: "Count Orlov, I know how eager you are to return to St. Petersburg. ! None of us here feels the same as you, but the more we are at this juncture, the more we must keep a calm mind! Don't let emotions influence your judgment!"

Alexander II's speech made Count Orlov's anger weaken slightly.

Count Orlov believed that no one present was more anxious than Alexander II.

Because what they lost was only their property and privileges, while Alexander II lost the entire country!

"I was too anxious!" Count Orlov quickly admitted his mistake to Alexander II and sat back on the chair.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you to give me the right to make decisions on the spur of the moment!" Ambassador Gorchakov, who had never spoken, also stood up and said to Alexander II, "In this case, I can communicate with Jerome Bonaparte. Your Majesty will discuss it in detail!"

"This..." Alexander II hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and agreed to give Gorchakov the right to make temporary decisions, and then asked Gorchakov what method he was going to use to make Jerome Bonaparte from the throne. Constantinople called over.

"Your Highness, if I guess correctly, His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte and Valevsky did not go to Constantinople, they are still staying in Bakhchisaray!" Ambassador Gorchakov told Alexander The second responded.

"Tell me your reasons!" Alexander II responded to Gorchakov.

"Therefore, His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte also does not want us to stay in Crimea for too long!" Gorchakov responded to Alexander II confidently: "The longer we stay here, the longer we stay here. The strength of the Petersburg rebels will become stronger!

Once we are unable to compete with the Petersburg rebels, it will be the coalition forces that are anxious!

Therefore, I conclude that His Majesty Jérôme Bonaparte and Valewski must still be staying in Bakhchisaray at this critical moment! "

"Then why didn't they meet with Ivanov?" Alexander II asked again.

"Maybe it's because His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte thinks that Lieutenant Colonel Ivanov is not high enough!" Ambassador Gorchakov responded to Alexander II: "As a Lieutenant Colonel, he did not decide the entire Russian Empire. The rights of the army, and His Majesty Jérôme Bonaparte does not want to repeat the previous negotiation process, so he wants us to send a person of sufficient weight there!"

As soon as Ambassador Gorchakov finished speaking, Alexander II looked at Ivanov Gorchakov.

Ambassador Gorchakov's guess is not unreasonable. Ivanov Gorchakov's military rank is indeed not enough to negotiate with the coalition forces on behalf of the entire Russian Empire.

Thinking of this, Alexander II nodded and said to Ambassador Gorchakov: "Okay! You will go to Bakhchisaray on behalf of the army!

I don't care what method you use, you must sign an armistice with the coalition forces! "

"Yes! Your Highness!" Ambassador Gorchakov nodded and responded to Alexander II.

Early the next morning, Ambassador Gorchakov and his delegation set out from Simferopol. After a long journey of several hours, they arrived at the French headquarters in Bakhchisaray at noon.

The person in charge of receiving him was still Jerome Patterson. At this time, Jerome Patterson showed an impatient look on his face and said: "Didn't I tell you yesterday? Your Majesty, Minister Ge, has already gone. Constantinople, it will take about a month to return!”

"Then please allow me to wait here for His Majesty's arrival!" Ambassador Gorchakov responded to Jerome Patterson with a smile. "Before leaving, His Highness Alexander told me! If I If the armistice agreement cannot be completed, then I will never be able to return to Simferopol!

While His Majesty has not returned yet, my envoy and I will be in a lot of trouble! "

Let's talk. Ambassador Gorchakov took out another note from the Frankfurt Bank. He told Jerome Patterson that this note was the food expenses during his stay here. He hoped that Jerome .Patterson can accept it!

"You..." Young Jerome Patterson couldn't say a word. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com

Subsequently, Ambassador Gorchakov assumed a permanent posture and stayed in Bakhchisaray.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was staying in Sevastopol, also showed a dumbfounded expression after hearing the news.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Minister Valewski asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"Let him wait for two days in Bakhchisaray! Then we will show up again!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Valewski.

Two more days passed, and Ambassador Gorchakov received a notification from Jerome Patterson that Jerome Bonaparte and Valewski would return to Crimea this evening. Peninsula, expected to arrive tomorrow.
