I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 224 Just because of paving the road, Russia wants to go bankrupt and borrow money?
However, Earl Linell's words obviously failed to bring the topic to Peter's head. All the ambassadors were present, and no one was too stupid.

The Prussian ambassador Madefield glanced at Linel and sneered in his heart. According to Peter III's temperament, Frederick was warned by Peter that Queen Elizabeth was a fat woman. How dare he say Peter himself now?

Linel felt a little embarrassed and a little bit aggrieved. Since he was beaten by Peter last time, his humiliating scene has become a scene in a painting that has been circulated among the monarchs of various countries.

If it weren't for Denmark not being able to find a decent ambassador at this time, and he was desperately active in the country, he might have been transferred back to be held accountable by this time.

Now seeing that everyone was not hooked, Linel eased his anxiety, he did not believe that the Privy Council would prevent these ambassadors from discussing such a big move across the country.

The Prussian ambassador, Madfield, who was pardoned some time ago and avoided the punishment of being expelled from Russia for conspiring with Johanna against Russian Deputy Minister of General Affairs Bestutev, has been cautious recently.

Now facing the major move of the Privy Council, they just watched with cold eyes to see how other ambassadors would react.

The Austrian envoy Count Bernis is a smart man. The wisdom of the previous Austrian ambassadors is not only that they are eloquent and good at covering up their own weaknesses and exaggerating the strength of Austria, but also that they will judge the situation and usually keep a wait-and-see attitude before seeing clearly.

Therefore, Earl Bernice has also been using his own topic to welcome the new British ambassador Sir Charles.

The French ambassador was different.

King Louis XV of France always looked down on Russia, and he looked down upon this strange and distant country.

If it weren't for the fashion that Mrs. Vivienne was responsible for had swept Europe, it would have been difficult for Louis XV to read letters from the ambassador to Russia.

Therefore, in order to make the monarch pay more attention to Russia, and not even to ignore that France still has the profession of ambassador to Russia, in the letters to Louis XV, the French envoys usually exaggerate to the utmost, and they only pick out absurdities to arouse the monarch's interest in reading. .

Bretui maintained this characteristic. In order to describe this interesting incident in Russia to the monarch in detail, Bretui smiled and asked the departing British ambassador Keith:

"Sir Keith, after returning to your country, how will you describe to King George what the Russian Privy Council has done?"

Although he was inquiring about the personal affairs of the British ambassador, Breteuil's demeanor was perfect, making people feel like a spring breeze, and he couldn't find any faults.

Keith laughed:

"The Privy Council's move must have its own intentions. Vorontsov is the Minister of General Affairs. He must have far-sightedness and will never make Russia a laughing stock. Perhaps this matter will pass soon."

The Danish ambassador Linel said sourly on the side:
"Of course the farce will pass quickly, but the action of the Privy Council this time is a bit too big, and you should also be able to guess that the use of red bricks on such a large scale will probably empty the Russian treasury. Borrowing on Russia?"

Linel looked at Madefield, Madefield smiled stiffly and said:

"When it comes to wealth, Britain and France are naturally the leaders. We in Prussia have only a small territory and a small population. In order to make money, we have to sacrifice our lives for France."

What Madfield said was the truth. All the ambassadors here know that France is responsible for military expenditures, and Prussia's elite soldiers are responsible for fighting the French.

There is no denying this.

Obviously, Madfield didn't want to answer this question, and kicked the ball to England and France.

The Austrian envoy also remained silent and looked directly at the British and French ambassadors, but the French ambassador, Breteuil, did not let Bernice hide away. Bretui smiled like a gentleman and said:

"Earl Bernice, Queen Teresa of your country has always been on good terms with Queen Elizabeth. I believe that if Russia encounters difficulties, she will definitely lend a helping hand."

Earl Bernice nodded and said:
"That's right, it's just that we in Austria are not like the Netherlands, nor are you like your country or the United Kingdom. In this war, we still need a lot of money to alleviate the grief brought by Prussia. Presumably Queen Teresa's devout heart must be It will be encouraging relief to Empress Elizabeth and Emperor Peter III."

Breteuil sneered, Austria obviously only intends to lend a small amount of money to Russia, and does not intend to borrow for Russia on a large scale.

He didn't bother to ask too much. There would definitely be a rift between Russia and Austria. Then he looked at Charles, the new British ambassador.

Keith was about to leave, so there was no need to ask more questions. Charles Hanbury William's attitude was rather important.

Charles smiled and said:

"Britain and Russia fought together to protect Silesia, and they have a deep friendship. If Russia wants to borrow money, Britain will naturally help."

In fact, Charles is eager for Russia to go bankrupt and borrow on a large scale, because he has a secret mission on his trip.

Before coming to Russia, he went secretly to Berlin and met King Frederick.

Unfortunately, after reaching King George's intention, Frederick categorically refused to sign an agreement not to invade Hanover with Britain. This made Charles scold Frederick for not having friendship with his uncle and nephew, while pinning his hopes on Russia.

Russia has famous gray cattle, and the price of soldiers is notoriously cheap. According to King George, he hopes that he can sign a secret agreement with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bestutev, for Russia to send troops to guard Hanover.

But in this way, the relationship between Russia and Prussia is bound to become delicate. Before Peter III took the throne, he was famously admiring Frederick. Charles believed that this trip must be very difficult.

Unexpectedly, the Minister of General Affairs Vorontsov seemed to help him unintentionally. As long as Russia lacked money, he would immediately contribute to it. Money is nothing. Britain does not have a huge army like France, but it has more colonies. As long as Hannover can be defended and Britain can get rid of this burden, it is absolutely worthwhile to pay some money.

In this way, when he returns home, both the parliament and the king will appreciate him.

Charles was planning for his secret mission. The French ambassador glanced at Madefield. France and Prussia spent a honeymoon period in the war of Austrian succession. good thing.

If Russia fell into debt, France would pay, and Breteuil believed that Frederick would also.

Russia will not be able to take Fap's money and fight against Fap at the same time. If this is the case, who will dare to rescue Russia next time it goes bankrupt?

Obviously, in this aid, Britain is an opponent.

After receiving Charles' somewhat frank reply, the farewell party and welcome party also seemed less harmonious for a while.
