On the other hand, as soon as Ivanov Gorchakov, who had 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 the headquarters in the center of Simferopol.

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

From the guards guarding the headquarters to the adjutants, staff officers, and clerks inside the headquarters, there was a look of disappointment on everyone's faces, which was in stark contrast to the confidence and conviction he felt in the French headquarters. .

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

If he hadn't made a trip to the French headquarters, he probably wouldn't have realized that the morale of the Russian Empire had fallen to this point.

After all, once an individual is infected with a collective emotion, it is very difficult for him to escape from this emotion.

Under the leadership of an adjutant in the command, Ivanov Gorchakov quickly arrived at the office where Crown Prince Alexander was.

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

Ivanov Gorchakov quickly pushed open the door, and when he entered the office, he found that there were not only the crown prince, but also Commander Gorchakov, Count Orlov and Gorchako in the office of Crown Prince Alexander. Ambassador.

As soon as Ivanov Gorchakov entered the door, he heard Crown Prince Alexander's impatient question: "Lieutenant Colonel Ivanov, how is the situation in the French Empire? His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte Are you willing to negotiate with us!"

"His Royal Highness!" Ivanov Gorchakov showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth. He shook his head and said in a low voice, "This time I went to the French headquarters, and I didn't see His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte!"

"Didn't see it?" With an anxious look on Alexander II's face, he asked again: "What about Foreign Minister Valevsky? You should have seen this!"

Ivanov Gorchakov shook his head again and responded to Alexander II: "I was told by the French Command 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!"

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

For Alexander II, who now wants to return to Petersburg to quell the rebellion, every day they stay in Simferopol means that their odds of winning are reduced by one point.

If they really want to waste two months here, then the traitors in the Petersburg region can take advantage of this time to stabilize their position in the Petersburg region and bring Moscow into their hands by the way.

At that time, it will be difficult for Alexander II to quell the rebellion.

If the trouble is bad, they are likely to be wiped out by the traitors in St. Petersburg.

After all, St. Petersburg and Moscow are arguably the quintessence of the entire Russian Empire.

Once the traitors have established a stable and authoritative government in these two regions, they can completely crush the places outside these two regions.

Hearing Ivanov Gorchakov's answer, the Gorchakov brothers and Orlov's faces also became gloomy, and they also understood what the two-month stay meant to them.

So, Count Orlov couldn't help but suggest to Alexander II: "His Royal Highness, break through! I don't believe that these people 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 through, we will face the pursuit of the coalition forces!

At that time, let alone the traitors who exterminated St. Petersburg, it would be fortunate not to be exterminated by the traitors in St. Petersburg! "

"Then what are we going to do?" Count Orlov stood up and shouted at Commander Gorchakov: "Now we are trapped in this damned place, and we can't retreat! Do we really want to Are you going to be here for two months?"

For Count Orlov, returning to Petersburg one day early means that his property (manor, castle) can be recovered a little bit, which is the money that their family has worked hard to save!

"Your Excellency Count, it doesn't help that you are angry with me now!" Commander Gorchakov resisted the anger in his heart, and patiently responded to Count Orlov: "The most urgent task 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 you can't wait to return to St. Petersburg now. No one of us is in the same mood as you, but the more we are at this juncture, the more we have to keep a cool head! Don't let your emotions sway your judgment!"

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

Count Orlov believed that none of the people present was more anxious than Alexander II.

Because what they lost was property and privileges, and Alexander II lost the whole country!

"I'm too anxious!" Count Orlov hurriedly confessed to Alexander II and sat back on the chair.

"His Royal Highness, I would like to ask you to grant me the right to make a decisive decision!" Ambassador Gorchakov, who had never spoken, also stood up and said to Alexander II, "In this way, I will be able to share with Jerome Bonaparte. Your Majesty to discuss in detail!"

"This..." Alexander II hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and agreed to grant Gorchakov the right to make a provisional decision, and then he asked Gorchakov what method he was going to use to remove Jerome Bonaparte from the emperor Tantinople called.

"His Royal Highness, if I'm not mistaken, His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte and Wallevsky did not go to Constantinople, they are still staying in Bakhchisarai!" Ambassador Gorchakov told Alexander II responded.

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

"Therefore, His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte also doesn't want us to stay in Crimea for too long!" Gorchakov responded confidently to Alexander II: "The longer we stay here, The stronger the Petersburg rebels will be!

Once we can't compete with the Petersburg rebels, the coalition will be anxious!

Therefore, I conclude that His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte and Wallevsky must still be staying in Bakhchisaray at this critical juncture! "

"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 good enough!" Ambassador Gorchakov responded to Alexander II: "As Lieutenant Colonel, he did not decide the entire Russian Empire. The rights of the army, and His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte does not want to repeat the previous negotiation process, so he wants us to send a person of sufficient weight!"

As soon as Ambassador Gorchakov's voice fell, Alexander II looked at Ivanov Gorchakov.

Ambassador Gorchakov's guess is not without reason. Ivanov Gorchakov's military rank is indeed not enough to represent the entire Russian Empire in negotiating with the coalition forces.

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 a truce with the coalition forces! "

"Yes! Your Highness!" Ambassador Gorchakov nodded in response to Alexander II.

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

The person in charge of receiving him was still Jerome Patterson. At this time, Jerome Patterson showed an impatient look on his face: "Didn't I tell you yesterday? Your Majesty Minister Ge has already arrived. 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 Paterson with a smile, "Before how to leave, His Highness Alexander told me! If I If the armistice is not completed, then I will never be able to return to Simferopol!

During this period of time that His Majesty has not returned, my mission and I will be troubled! "

Come on, Ambassador Gorchakov took out another bill from the Frankfurt Bank. He told Jerome Paterson that this bill was for the meal expenses during his stay here. Hope Jerome . Patterson can take it!

"You..." The young Jerome Paterson couldn't say a word.

Afterwards, Ambassador Gorchakov assumed a habit of staying in Bakhchisarai.

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

"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" Minister Valevsky asked Jerome Bonaparte.

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

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