"However, the previous behavior of the Russian Empire makes me deeply doubt the credibility of the Russian Empire!"

Jerome Bonaparte showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. His tone was so casual, but he seemed to have an unquestionable aura.

"Your Excellency means..." Vladimirovich looked suspiciously at Jerome Bonaparte, whose position did not allow him to speak ill of the Russian Empire.

"Could it be that Mr. Special Envoy forgot!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Vladimirovich with a playful smile on his face: "As early as half a year ago, the agreement between the Russian Empire and the French Republic was made?"

Vladimirovich "suddenly realized", he hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "I am very sorry! Regarding this matter, I forgot to explain it to you because I have been too busy recently! His Majesty cherishes the friendship of the French Republic. , but also do not want to lose the friendship with the Kingdom of Prussia... Although our foreign minister agrees with your proposal, my monarch is more concerned that all the brothers and friends in Europe can get along closely..."

Vladimirovich rambled on a lot of diplomatic terms, the core of which was that the tacit agreement signed between the Russian Empire and the French Republic had gone bankrupt. However, the Russian Empire was still willing to maintain good friendly relations with the French Republic.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had no hope of taking the Rhineland through diplomatic means, was not disappointed. The unspoken rule in the field of diplomacy is that the paper that has not been signed is the paper in the toilet.

The verbal agreement itself is meant to be torn up.

Furthermore, even if an agreement is signed, as long as one party chooses not to recognize the agreement, it will be of no use what the other party is saying.

The future Nicholas II signed a joint defense agreement between Germany and Russia in the German Empire under the flicker of his cousin Weiwei. After returning to St. Petersburg, Nicholas II finally understood this after being dissuaded by his ministers. The agreement only unilaterally bound the Russian Republic, and immediately ordered the ministers to declare that the mutual defense agreement was an invalid agreement after deliberation by the State Duma.

Under an absolute monarchy, the agreement signed by the monarch is declared invalid, which is enough to show that the so-called agreement is just a piece of paper to wipe the buttocks.

When an agreement is beneficial to both parties, both parties will naturally abide by the agreement.

When the agreement is unfavorable to either party, relying on diplomats to talk out of their mouths can make the other party obey, that is not called diplomacy, and simply change the name to Yuri.

Besides, aside from the facts, the Russian Empire is 99% responsible for "treachery" to tear up the verbal agreement. Isn't the French Republic 1% responsible?

Having said that, Jérôme Bonaparte still sneered according to the "conventional": "If every country is like the Russian Empire, then the entire European diplomatic system will probably become a piece of paper. To At a time when everyone will be proud to tear up the agreement, religion, morality and order in Europe will be wiped out."

Jerome Bonaparte turned to a pitiful face and continued: "I am afraid that the French Republic will have to go with the flow in the chaotic order! (Subtext: The French Republic is likely not to be embarrassed, and directly attack the stud!

Vladimirovich naturally understood Jerome Bonaparte's subtext, and his face showed a hint of anger.

The Bonaparte family is really thinking about their glorious history all the time.

Right now, all countries have just emerged from the vortex of war, and it is not the time for a head-on conflict with the French Republic. Vladimirovich and the others must choose to be patient. Only after re-establishing the broken holy alliance and orthodox principles can they be able to. Truly contain and crush the ambitions of the French Republic.

"The Russian Empire does not oppose the French Republic's pursuit of maintaining the European order, and we also hope that the French Republic will become a pole of Europe..." Vladimirovich said in a vain attempt to accept the French Third Republic's integration into Europe as a bait Temporarily appease the French Republic.

However, how did Vladimirovich know that in Jerome Bonaparte's heart, beating the Russians was already the most important position.

Even if Vladimirovich is hyped, don't let Jerome Bonaparte stop the pace of the war against Russia. All his actions are to cover up the war against the Russian Empire in a few years.

Vladimirovich had a warm and friendly conversation with Jerome Bonaparte.

The two sides met candidly, exchanged views, and enhanced mutual understanding.

All in all, this brief meeting was meaningful.

[The reality is that Vladimirovich and Jerome Bonaparte did not reach anything in the next conversation. Whether it is the German question or the Near East question. Vladimirovich was always on his side. 】

After the special envoy Vladimirovich left, Jerome Bonaparte called Valevsky again.

"Your Excellency!" Wallevsky respectfully responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Call Ambassador Cowley for me!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Wallevsky.

There was a surprised expression on Wallevsky's face. He didn't understand what the government wanted to do!

Besides, a consul deliberately bypassed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the diplomatic ambassador, which was somewhat inconsistent with the rules of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Although Wallevsky was a little confused, he naturally dutifully followed Jerome Bonaparte's orders.

After Wallevsky left, Jerome Bonaparte got up and stretched his muscles, and called Mocar, the general secretary of the Tuileries Palace.

After more than two years of training, Mokal has the qualifications to be on his own.

If it weren't for the lack of manpower at the Tuileries Palace, Jerome Bonaparte would have long considered transferring Mocart to a certain department as Secretary of State.

"Your Majesty!" Mercury bowed to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Prepare some pastries and coffee! Remember, it's English pastries! Wait a minute, take it to the study!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Mocar.

"Yes!" Mokar obeyed and left.

About 15 minutes later, Mokar came to the study with an aluminum tray containing pastries and coffee.

Put the pastries and two cups of steaming coffee on the sofa and leave.

Jerome Bonaparte sat back on the sofa and waited quietly for the arrival of British Ambassador Cowley.

Not long after, Wallevsky entered the study with British Ambassador Cowley.

Jerome Bonaparte rose to meet Cauley.

"Your Excellency!" Cauley said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Please take a seat!" Jerome Bonaparte invited Ambassador Cauley to take a seat.

Once again, Wallewski carefully closed the door and left the study.

Cowley and Jerome Bonaparte were sitting on the sofa. Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the pastries on the table and said to Ambassador Cowley, "Mr. Ambassador, I hope these preparations will satisfy you!"

"Thank you so much!" Ambassador Cowley glanced at the English-style pastries on the table to express his gratitude to Jerome Bonaparte, and then went straight to the topic: "I don't know, what is the reason for your visit to me, Your Excellency?"

"I don't know, what does your country think of the Russian Empire's behavior in the Near East?" Jerome Bonaparte put away his smile and asked Ambassador Cowley with a serious expression.

"The Russian Empire has maintained the stability of the Near East!" Ambassador Cowley, who did not understand Jerome Bonaparte's attitude, would obviously not speak frankly about the British Kingdom's disgust for the Russian Empire.

Diplomatic isolation has always been a taboo for the British kingdom.

"Could it be that the United Kingdom is not at all concerned that the power of the Russian Empire will affect the imbalance in the Near East?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Ambassador Cowley again.

"I don't think the Russian Empire would do something so irrational!" Ambassador Cowley replied to Jerome Bonaparte in a tactful manner.

"Come on!" Jerome Bonaparte responded disdainfully: "Have they done a few irrational actions? The territory of the Russian Empire is not something that other peoples volunteered to give to Russia for their enthusiastic support of the Tsar!"

"Haha!" Ambassador Cowley was amused by Jerome Bonaparte's "joke": "Your Excellency, you may be right!"

"Your Excellency Ambassador!" Jerome Bonaparte's tone became more and more serious: "If it is said that nearly ten million Slavs in the Balkans are charging under the Tsar's flag! By that time, the Balkans and even Constantinople will be charged. Can you really stand it?"

Jerome Bonaparte's words made Ambassador Cauley show a serious expression: "I believe that the Tsar of the Russian Empire and his subjects will restrain their actions!"

"Restrain? It's really at that point~www.novelhall.com~ Who can resist? Victory is at hand! The Duchy of the Danube is only one step away from Constantinople!" Jerome Bonaparte continued to Cowley Constantly promote the Russian threat theory.

"Your Excellency, the United Kingdom will not interfere with the freedom of movement of any country, which is the birthright of every country, but they should obey the corresponding order! If any country tries to threaten the order, then all the consequences will be It should all be borne by the corresponding country!" Minister Cowley cryptically expressed the attitude of the United Kingdom behind him in French.

The attitude of the United Kingdom under the Whig party was as expected by Jerome Bonaparte.

If the Whigs were as conservative in foreign affairs as the Tories, there was no way a sharp-edged fellow like Palmerston would be in the cabinet.

"France respects the diplomatic concept of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and we also hope to contribute to European peace!" Jerome Bonaparte also implicitly expressed the need for France to expand its influence: "In this regard, we hope There is a deeper exchange between the British kingdoms."

"The Kingdom of Great Britain welcomes the French Republic to the World's Fair!"
