Make France Great Again

Chapter 425: The Ungrateful Ottoman Empire

Lord Seymour's plain but persevering speech made Nicholas I's face stiffen, and then he smiled dryly and said: "Really?"

"Your Majesty, the peace and stability of the Near East depends on every responsible and responsible European country, so we must join hands to jointly maintain peace and stability in Europe!" Lord Seymour said to Nico with a sincere face. As La I said, he seemed not to notice the slightly embarrassed face of Nicholas I at this time.

Although Lord Seymour's attitude was so sincere, Nicholas I seemed to believe that Lord Seymour had already stood with the French Empire.

"Okay! I know your attitude! If the Kingdom of Britain is not willing to support me, then we will do it ourselves!" Nicholas I said to Lord Seymour angrily like a child who had not yet grown up.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we are unwilling to support you! We just hope that the various forces in the Near East will maintain a balance and jointly maintain the peaceful and stable development of Europe!" Lord Seymour responded cautiously, and then added: "The Kingdom of Britain is unwilling, Nor do we want to target any country. If any country wants to undermine the peace of the Near East, Britain will defend it at all costs."

Under Lord Seymour's tough attitude, Nicholas I completely gave up the idea of ​​​​wanting to win over the British Kingdom to carve up the Ottoman Empire.

Now Nicholas I understood that the British kingdom only wanted a high-level government under their control, rather than a fragmented Ottoman Empire.

"What if the Ottoman Empire itself destroyed the peace in the Near East?" Nicholas I asked Lord Seymour coldly.

"I believe that the Ottoman Empire will not make such an unwise move!" Lord Seymour responded directly with a double-standard attitude.

"Okay! Lord Seymour, I'm tired! I won't leave you to rest here!" Nicholas I, who tested Lord Seymour's attitude, issued an expulsion order to Lord Seymour. The court of the Russian Empire would never welcome him. A man with ill intentions towards the Russian Empire.

Lord Seymour naturally heard what Nicholas I meant, and he hurriedly curtsied to the Tsar in front of him. Nicholas I waved his hand slightly, and a guard sent Lord Seymour away from the Russian Imperial Palace.

After Lord Seymour completely left Tsarskoye Selo, Nicholas I slowly came under a portrait. The owner of the portrait was a middle-aged man wearing a Russian Imperial military uniform and receiving money to buy shoes and a sword. Judging from his appearance in the portrait, he is somewhat similar to Nicholas I.

Standing under the portrait, Nicholas I looked at the middle-aged man in the portrait with blurred eyes, and murmured to himself: "Brother, what do you think I should do? Where should the Russian Empire go!"

That's right, the person in the portrait is none other than the "Holy King" Alexander I who "saved" all of Europe.

It was precisely because of his decision to fortify the walls and clear the country that the French Empire was defeated by General Winter after it invaded Moscow because it could not find supplies.

After this battle, of the more than 600,000 French allied forces, less than 300,000 left the Russian Empire. In the subsequent wars, the Russian Empire pursued victory from Poland to the French mainland. Prussia and Austria were "liberated" by the Russian Empire and joined the Russian Empire in the crusade against France.

Now 38 years have passed since that war. The once handsome young man (Nicholas I) has now become a middle-aged and handsome man. Under his leadership, the Russian Empire has gradually become stronger (Nicholas I thinks that ). With just one step, Nicholas I could lead his army to capture the Fortress of Constantinople, let the double-headed eagle flag of Constantinople fly in the wind, and accomplish what the previous tsars had not accomplished for hundreds of years.

However, on Nicholas I's way to Constantinople stood an emaciated "patient", and behind this "patient" was a "haunting" opponent.

Decades ago, the Russian Empire, led by the Holy King, defeated this "Republican Undead" that destroyed the monarchy.

Decades later, the nephew of the "Dead Man" established an empire with his legacy and changed its name to the "Second French Empire".

The former undead appeared in the land of France like a reborn soul. This undead should have been wiped out on this land again when he was born.

However, after more than thirty years of development, those countries whose minds are full of various calculations have gradually faded away from their hatred of the undead. They have begun to negotiate with the undead, trying to use the undead's guarantee to comfort them. Their growing fears.

They succeeded. The undead agreed to their terms and made their own guarantees to the whole of Europe. They began to relax and began to conquer each other.

Only he, Nicholas I, knew that this haunting Second Empire would never stop their evil plans, and they would do everything possible to destroy all of Europe.

The fact is exactly what Nicholas I expected. With the support of the undead, the Ottoman Empire rejected the Russian Empire's suggestions and they began to rebel against the Russian Empire.

Just when the Russian Empire needed help to fight together, the Kingdom of Britain and the Austrian Empire also stood on their side. They were beguiled by Jerome Bonaparte's rhetoric (Nicholas I always believed that the reason why the Kingdom of Britain and the Empire of Austria were the same) The union of the French Empire is purely due to Jérôme Bonaparte. Felix Schwarzenberg's friendliness towards France also made Nicholas I feel very unhappy.) Becoming their accomplice, I am fortunate to be blessed by Christ. Punishment replaces Felix.

Even so, the Kingdom of Britain still stands with the dead...

Standing under the portrait, Nicholas I began to have random thoughts. When he thought of how heroic his brother Alexander I was when he faced the First Empire.

Nicholas I believed that he must not lose the majesty of Romanov. Even without the support of the British Kingdom, the Russian Empire could defeat the French Empire.

Thinking of this, a sense of mission arose spontaneously in Nicholas I's heart, making him determined to defeat the French Empire like Alexander I.

When Nicholas I was stunned, an attendant suddenly broke into Nicholas I's room and informed Nicholas I that the Ottoman Empire's Grand Council had declared war on the Russian Empire. (France issued a warning to the Russian Empire to evacuate the Danube River earlier than Nicholas I received the declaration of war from the Ottoman Empire.)

"How dare they!" Nicholas I roared angrily.

He had never thought that a poor and weak Ottoman Empire would declare war on the Russian Empire. He had obviously given them enough time to think, so why were they unwilling to submit!

In the eyes of Nicholas I's hegemonic values, the Ottoman Empire's declaration of war on Nicholas I was a complete mistake.

"Tell me, why do they dare to declare war! Tell me!" Nicholas I shouted to his attendants.

The attendant was so frightened by Nicholas I's rage that he could not say a word. He could only express to Nicholas I tremblingly that the Ottoman Empire did not know how to be grateful to the Russian Empire!

After a while, the angry Nicholas I regained some sense. He also remembered the warning issued to him by the French Ambassador yesterday.

Nicholas I's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked the attaché about the time it took for him to depart from the Ottoman Empire to St. Petersburg.

The attendant military attache did not dare to be negligent and immediately told Nicholas I.

After the Ottoman Empire issued a warning to declare war, it immediately sent a letter of war to Paskevich who was stationed in the Danube area.

After receiving the letter, Paskevich immediately summoned Gorchakov and others for discussion. attack, the attendants did not know about this period), and then immediately arrived at Nicholas I's side. The whole journey took less than a week (6 days).

"Why does France get the news faster than you!" Nicholas I was keenly aware of the time problem on the way.

First from the Ottoman Empire to Paris, and then from Paris to St. Petersburg, this distance is much farther than the distance from Constantinople to St. Petersburg.

This does not include the time required for decision-making. According to common sense, the French ambassador should have given him the warning after he received the news of the Ottoman Empire's declaration of war.

"This..." The attendant had no idea that a telegraph had been set up from Constantinople to Paris. France already knew the news within a few hours after the Imperial Council made the decision. The subsequent decision and the delivery of the news were Faster, find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan. com so much so that it surpassed horse-drawn carriages to deliver the message.

The large-scale application of telegraphy in France made France faster in all aspects and able to obtain more news.

These were conditions that Nicholas I could not meet. The poor and weak Russian Empire simply did not have the extra money to build a one-day telegraph line from the Russian Near East.

Furthermore, Nicholas I had no idea that the telegraph was used in the military and diplomatic fields.

"Forget it! Go and call the Minister of War, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Third Section!" Looking at the ignorant attendant in front of him, Nicholas I was furious, and he suppressed his anger. The attendant military attaché waved his hand and gave the order.

"Yes!" the attaché immediately responded to Nicholas I, and then immediately left Tsarskoye Selo for St. Petersburg.
