Make France Great Again

Chapter 706: Anxious Alexander II

Just when the nobles of St. Petersburg were hesitating whether to carry out a military coup against Golitsyn's provisional government, more than a thousand kilometers away from St. Petersburg, on the Crimean Peninsula, the Russian imperial army was in an unprecedented crisis.

There are two reasons for the crisis of the Russian Empire's army. The first point is the successive fiasco of the Russian army in the recent period of time.

The current Russian army not only lost Bakhchisaray, but even Simferopol was also cut off by the French Empire by occupying the village of the Guards. (simplified version)

[France continued to attract Simferopol's defenders to support them by three divisions/corps (the second, third, and fifth divisions), and then dispatched two divisions, the first division and the fourth division. The troops landed through Alushta, and detoured to the Guards Village in the rear of Simferopol, cutting off the back road.

When the Russian Empire reacted, nearly 40,000 people from the 1st and 4th Divisions had built a relatively complete defensive position in the Guards Village.

Alexander II of Simferopol and both Gorchakov immediately reacted to being outflanked by the back road from home, and hurriedly sent troops to attack the Guards Village, both of which were attacked by France, who had slightly fewer people than them. Army defeated.

France took the opportunity to launch a general attack on Bakhchisaray and won the Bakhchisaray area in one fell swoop. ] (detailed version)

The second point is that the news of Duke Golitsyn's establishment of a provisional government was deliberately passed on to Simferopol and Thatch by Jerome Bonaparte, which was even more devastating to the Russian army, whose morale had declined. blow.

Currently stationed in Saatchi and Simferopol can be said to be in complete chaos, not to mention high-intensity battles with the coalition forces, and even an orderly retreat cannot be carried out.

Almost every day, dozens or even more than a hundred people surrendered to France and Britain from the Russian Imperial Army.

After a few days like this, Alexander II, the highest commander of the Russian army, finally made up his mind to submit to Jerome Bonaparte, even if he had to bear extremely harsh conditions!

It remains to be seen whether the Romanovs will survive in the Russian Empire if the rebels in the Petersburg region are allowed to gain a foothold.

After all, this coup is different from all previous coups.

Before, whether it was Catherine who killed Peter the Great, or Tsar Paul who was killed by the Guards, the replacement of the tsar was completed without changing the political system.

There is a certain degree of tacit understanding between the new tsar and the monarch.

And Duke Golitsyn not only replaced the tsar, he also removed all the roots of the Romanov family's rule over the Russian Empire.

New Russian Empire on the policy of Duke Golitsyn. In the eyes of Alexander II, it was nothing more than a republic in the cloak of a tsar.

Therefore, for the sake of the Romanov family, Alexander II will never allow Duke Golitsyn to survive.

Of course, it is not only Alexander II who has this idea. Whether it is Commander Gorchakov or Ambassador Gorchakov, after seeing the policy issued by Duke Golitsyn, they all realize that Duke Golitsyn is a Prepare to learn from the original idea of ​​the French Republic and uproot the nobles and Romanovs together.

Gorchakov's cousins, who are members of the privileged class, did not have the courage to sacrifice their family privileges for the whole of Russia like Duke Golitsyn.

And the current Duke of Golitsyn is just taking back their privileges. God knows if the next step will be to learn from the original French Republic and return all their property to the public. That is the wealth that they have earned through the efforts of several generations. Why are they? Give the white silver to the poor.

Therefore, the Gorchakov brothers also want to negotiate peace as soon as possible and return to St. Petersburg to fight the rebels to the death.

However, since the two brothers are not the true decision-makers of the army, and they also know that this time in the peace talks, Jerome Bonaparte's asking price is only higher than the last time, so they dare not say anything more, only Can patiently wait for Alexander II to make a decision.

"I have decided to start the second peace talks with the French Empire!" Brother Gorchakov breathed a sigh of relief when Alexander II publicly announced his willingness to negotiate with the French Empire again.

As a result, Ivanov Gorchakov, who was in charge of liaison, walked out of Simferopol with a white flag again, and came to the headquarters of the French army stationed in Bakhchisaray.

The people who met with Ivanov Gorchakov this time were not Jerome Bonaparte and Varevsky, but one of Varevsky's entourage.

"Where is Your Majesty now?" Ivanov Gorchakov anxiously asked Jerome Bonaparte's location.

The entourage responded in a sullen manner: "Your Majesty and the Minister will go to Constantinople for the time being! If there is anything important, you can wait until His Majesty returns!"

"When will His Majesty be back?" Ivanov Gorchakov hurriedly asked again.

"It's impossible to say!" The follower touched his chin and responded to Ivanov Gorchakov: "In short, about a week! In long, maybe two or three months!

After all, the Crimea is so cold! "

With that said, the entourage stomped his feet gently, as if to dispel the chill from his body.

"Two or three months! This... is too long!" Ivanov Gorchakov responded impatiently to his entourage.

"Mr. Messenger, maybe His Majesty will be back in a week!" The entourage replied cheerfully to Ivanov Gorchakov, "Just wait patiently for a while!"

"But..." Ivanov Gorchakov wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jerome Patterson.

Jerome Paterson responded to Ivanov Gorchakov with a blank face: "Mr. Ivanov, please don't say more, just return to Simferopol and wait patiently. It's gone!"

"I..." Ivanov Gorchakov felt extremely aggrieved.

But who let them beg him now, Ivanov Gorchakov lost a smile on the live broadcast and said that if any one of Emperor Jerome Bonaparte and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wallevsky came back If so, please be sure to go to Simferopol to inform them.

At that time, their crown prince Alexander will definitely reward them heavily.

"Mr. Yinvanov!" Jerome Patterson smiled and said provocatively: "As far as I know, the new government in Petersburg does not seem to recognize the legitimacy of your crown prince!"

Hearing Jerome Patterson's words, Ivanov Gorchakov's face immediately turned gloomy. After a while, he hurriedly showed a reluctant smile at Jerome Pat. Xun responded: "I don't think any responsible person who has taken a vacation will admit that the government in Petersburg has no legitimacy at all!"

"To tell you the truth, our majesty only cares about the monarchy, not who is sitting on the monarch's seat!" Jerome Patterson also revealed.

Jerome Patterson's words made Ivanov Gorchakov's face stiff, and a sense of crisis poured into his heart.

From Jerome Paterson's words alone, it can be judged that the French Empire did not regard those guys in Petersburg as enemies of the monarchy.

If the St. Petersburg guys were to be accepted by the monarchy, their situation would be even worse.

"Please tell your majesty! Also ask him to help the Russian Empire in the face of being a monarchy!" Ivanov Gorchakov pleaded with Jerome Paterson, "The purpose of those guys is to In order to implement the republic in the name of the monarch, it can be said that the whole monarchy is an individual..."

"The monarchy is not Coca-Cola (Jérôme Patterson doesn't know anything about Coca-Cola, because it was given to him by Jerome Bonaparte), we can't ask the monarchies of the world to be One way! Sometimes ~www.readwn.com~ a pluralistic monarchy is also a way!" Jerome Paterson said to Ivanov Gorchakov according to the script.

"Coca-Cola? What is this?" Ivanov Gorchakov asked Jerome Patterson with a puzzled expression.

"A special water that can be drunk!" Jerome Patterson responded to Ivanov Gorchakov.

"But we have to uphold the monarch's inherent sacred rights, don't we? If some people are allowed to break the rules, the monarchy will lose its sanctity! He can't rule the whole country!" Ivanov Ge Erchakov tried to use his own understanding of the monarchy to apply the French monarchy.

Jerome Paterson smiled slightly. He didn't want to tell Ivanov Gorchakov that the French monarchy was based on a referendum, and the will of the whole people could, to a certain extent, control the will of the monarch.

"I will relay your words to His Majesty by telegram!" Jerome Patterson nodded and replied to Ivanov Gorchakov.

Shortly after Ivanov Gorchakov left, Jerome Bonaparte and Varewsky appeared in front of Jerome Patterson and questioned him and Ivanov Gorchakov. Contents of Erchakov's talk.

Jerome Paterson told them the situation one by one, and Jerome Bonaparte said in a daze: "It seems that the Russian Empire is about to endure!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Wallevsky hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte. "In a short time, Alexander will submit to you!"

"The Guard is Here"

"At that time, we will have to treat them well!" said Jerome Bonaparte in a more serious voice.
