Although the Earl of Clarendon said that he refused to answer James Buchanan's question, every word he said implied James Buchanan: The rejection of the United States of America by the Kingdom of Great Britain has something to do with the French Empire, and the relationship Still big.
Therefore, Earl Clarendon's refusal to answer was a tacit consent in James Buchanan's ears.
What the **** is that guy doing, Mason! Little things can't be done well!
James Buchanan secretly cursed Mason, who was far away in Paris.
James Buchanan tried his best to build relationships and give gifts (Palmerston, Newcastle), and finally managed to get through the work on the British side. It didn't take long (according to James Buchanan). Cannan's estimate, just two months), the merchant ships of the United States of America would be able to sail unimpeded in the Baltic Sea and earn the gold coins of the Russian Empire.
You must know that the current Russian Empire has been completely blocked by Britain and France, and many materials and equipment (mainly machinery and equipment) cannot be obtained from Britain and France. They can only choose the United States of America at the same level for transactions, those in the United States of America. What the factory owner seems to be of inferior quality can be sold at a premium of more than 20% of the original as long as there is a decent cargo ship, and then it is transferred to the Russian Empire.
This is no longer a profiteering, it is simply a blatant robbery, and as long as Britain and France continue to fight against the Russian Empire, they will be able to continuously squeeze the Russian Empire's wallet.
As a result, James Buchanan's financial path that was about to be restarted was cut off because of a mistake by the Mason ambassador in Paris.
Not to mention how much he hates Ambassador Mason in the current James Buchanan.
However, after complaining, James Buchanan still wanted to give it a try and see if he could have a chance to turn Britain's heart around.
"Your Excellency, I think this is a matter of the United States of America and the Kingdom of Great Britain, and there is no need to be too accommodating to the French Empire! Besides, the United States of America does not sell any contraband like the Russian Empire! All the trade practices of the United States of America are Built on the basis of British law!" James Buchanan tried to exchange for the sympathy of the British kingdom with a low profile, while also secretly provoking the relationship between Britain and France.
Of course, James Buchanan can't be regarded as a provocation. The time between Britain and France for mutual cooperation is far less than the time for confrontation with each other, and Crimea is only a temporary alliance.
Both the French Empire and the Kingdom of Great Britain know that as long as the Crimean War ends, the relationship between Britain and France will probably never return to the present.
Unless the two have a common enemy that can offend Britain and France, countries that have not been beaten up, there is basically no such thing in this world.
"Ambassador Buchanan, we are not accommodating the French Empire, but a subjective consideration based on the existing form!" Count Clarendon continued to use his unique European diplomatic language to play Tai Chi to Buchanan: "Britain and France are At this stage, the alliance is based on the premise of mutual tolerance, and on issues related to the Russian Empire, we must coordinate with the French Empire!"
The meaning of the count of Clarendon is very simple, that is, Britain cannot abandon the French Empire.
As for why the Russian Empire cannot be abandoned, look at the proportion of the British and French on the Crimea Peninsula.
[By the way, a piece of British armament: Since the official start of the Crimean War, the British kingdom has recruited less than 30,000 soldiers, and most of them are the army of homeless people caught from the streets.
The current British army cannot be said to be irrelevant to the large army that Commander Raglan and the Minister of Newcastle have in mind, and it can only be regarded as a far cry.
To make matters worse, the British Treasury's allocation to the War Department to prepare soldiers and improve logistics was insufficient.
Those funds were originally used to build an army of hundreds of thousands of people, but now there are only 30,000 people.
The logistics on the Crimean Peninsula, as always, were poor. British soldiers ate corned beef from the Napoleonic Wars and drank whisky that was too diluted with water.
Where the rest of the money went, only God knows!
Anyway, Palmerston and Newcastle are not willing to trace the whereabouts of the money, maybe it was really borrowed by God. 】
Once the French Empire leaves the Kingdom of Great Britain alone and makes peace with the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Great Britain will probably have no choice but to negotiate.
For Palmerston, who longed to dismantle the Russian Empire, this was simply not acceptable.
"I hope the British Kingdom and the French Empire can end this war as soon as possible, so that trade can return to normal!" James Buchanan had no choice but to respond to Clarendon,
"If the Russian Empire can give up their unrealistic ambitions, we are still willing to open a communication channel with the Russian Empire!" Clarendon replied in vague diplomatic language.
"Your Majesty, when you say letting go of your ambitions, do you mean the Russian Empire's withdrawal from the Danube?" James Buchanan asked Count Clarendon directly, "If that's the case, the United States of America is willing to act as a bridge between the British Kingdom and the Russian Empire. !"
"Mr. Buchanan, it is our priority to maintain the alliance with France!" Earl Clarendon said to James Buchanan with a smile: "However, in some specific cases, we do not rule out the alliance with the Russian Empire. Exchange France and France's diplomatic path, and Britain also has a British diplomatic path!
At that time, we may need help from the United States of America! "
As soon as Earl Clarendon finished his vague diplomatic words, James Buchanan hurriedly said to Earl Clarendon: "The United States of America is willing to act as a bridge between the Kingdom of Britain and the Russian Empire!"
What a complete idiot, how could the British Kingdom let the Russian Empire go so easily!
Clarendon secretly despised James Buchanan.
In the final analysis, the diplomatic background of the United States of America is not very deep, and it cannot be integrated into the European diplomatic system at all.
Not to mention a master who is good at offshore balancing like Britain, even a European diplomatic "orphan" like the Russian Empire can bully the current United States of America.
Under the circumstance that diplomacy and strength are not up to standard, all the actions of the United States of America are in the eyes of old Europe, just like the Gambia in the eyes of later generations.
It's just that the "Gambia" of the United States of America is much stronger than the later Gambia.
The real rise of the diplomacy of the United States of America was after the Second World War. At that time, the United States of America was already at the top level in the world, and it did not need to follow the diplomatic concept of old Europe.
Because of the rise of the Soviet Union, old Europe had to commit itself to the United States of America.
"Then on behalf of the Kingdom of Great Britain, I would like to thank the United States of America for its selfless help!" Earl Clarendon responded to James Buchanan.
James Buchanan, who does not yet know what Earl Clarendon thinks of him, is still complacent that he has found a way to enhance the "United Front Value", and now he has made up his mind to contribute to the progress of the peace talks between the Kingdom of Britain and the Russian Empire. .
To facilitate this action, he decided to write to his colleagues living in St. Petersburg.
Poor James Buchanan didn't know yet that there was no good man in old Europe.
This letter of his indirectly incurred a liability of $2.5 million for the United States of America.
…
While Count Clarendon was talking to James Buchanan, Jerome Bonaparte, who was far away in Paris, also met Richard Metternich, the Austrian ambassador to France.
Richard Metternich once again congratulated the French Empire on its remarkable achievements in the Crimean Peninsula, and also hoped that the French Empire and the Austrian Empire would get better and better in the future.
"Mr. Richard, I agree with you! Although France and Austria had some differences before, I believe that time will dilute all differences and leave only precious friendship!" Jerome Bonnard BA responded to Richard Metternich: "I believe that the friendship between France and Austria can last forever!"
"I believe it too!" Richard Metternich nodded and Jerome Bonaparte responded.
After some compliments, Jerome Bonaparte went straight to ask Richard Metternich what the Austrian Empire thought about the current situation.
"Your Majesty, I haven't received a telegram from Vienna yet, so I don't dare to speculate on the policies of the imperial government!" Richard Metternich responded to Jerome Bonaparte without any leakage.
"If you want me to say that your Austrian Empire should send troops with us, only in this way can we defeat the Russian Empire faster!" Jerome Bonaparte urged Richard Metternich.
Richard Metternich still responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Austrian Empire needs some time!"
"It takes time?" Jerome Bonaparte sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Richard, do I still have enough time for you? It's been almost two years since the Crimean War started. Years! Whatever you want, I will help you win it! If it wasn't for me, you would not be able to occupy the Principality of the Danube.
it's me! I will hand over the Duchy of the Danube to you in the face of the Kingdom of Great Britain! it's me! Only by suppressing the Ottoman Empire and telling them not to act will you be able to successfully occupy the Danube Principality.
Me too, tolerate your neutrality! Let you enjoy the fruits of the victory of the coalition forces without offending the Russian Empire too much.
What have you given me in the past two years? "
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
