Chapter 329 Napoleon III

Of course, the British have not forgotten the fear that Napoleon I brought to the continent.

Britain does not want a powerful France to appear on the European continent, let alone a powerful Russia on the European continent.

To be precise, the United Kingdom does not want any empire that is too powerful to change European geopolitics and pose a threat to Britain's world dominance.

Perhaps it was the dazzling halo of the European military police that blinded Nicholas I's eyes and made him lose his ability to distinguish the current situation.It may also be that Nicholas I was arrogant and stupid, thinking that the chess game in Europe would go the way he envisioned.

Hamilton Seymour, the British Minister to Russia, quietly watched the arrogant and arrogant tsar pointing the country in front of the map, as if he was the master of the world.

"The Ottoman Empire is about to collapse, and once the Ottoman Empire falls into a state of collapse and disorder, the Near East will become unstable. A third of the population of the Ottoman Empire is our Christian brothers.

In order to protect these Christian brothers from being bullied by pagans, we are obliged to send troops to protect our Christian brothers.Protect our sacred faith.

As responsible major powers, we should work together to rebuild a new order in the Near East. "

Seymour naturally knew that Nicholas I was talking nonsense, who the hell is your brother.

The so-called religion is just an excuse. The tsar coveted the mouth of the Black Sea and the territory of the Ottoman Empire.

"What kind of order do you think is the new order in the Near East?" Seymour asked casually.

"Our British allies will get Egypt and Crete." Nicholas I said complacently.

He thinks that the two cakes of Egypt and Crete are enough to impress the United Kingdom and let the United Kingdom stand on his side.

"So, what will our great Russian Empire get? Where will your borders in the Near East be?" Seymour asked rhetorically.

He seemed more likely to know what Russia wanted than what Britain could get in an alliance with Russia.

"The protectors of Bulgaria and Serbia, as well as the Christians of the Eastern Expedition in Constantinople." Nicholas I said bluntly, "As for the border, the territory of the Russian Empire has no borders, just like the seas controlled by Britain have no borders." .”

From the arrogant tone of Nicholas I, Seymour has realized that a new war is inevitable.

And Britain will not be an ally of Russia, no one wants to be an ally with a madman.

The ambitions of Nicholas I have been clearly revealed. What he wants is not only the Danube River Basin, but the Crimea region, and even turn the entire Black Sea into the inland sea of ​​the Russian Empire.

This has touched the core interests of the British Empire in Europe, and it cannot be compensated by a mere Egypt and Crete.

"I will truthfully state your appeal to London."

Seymour said with a blank face, and then bowed to Nicholas I to say goodbye.

Watching the British envoy who had some bad legs and feet leave tremblingly, Nicholas I had a look of complacency on his face, thinking that everything was under his control.

Together with the British, he will carve up the old Ottoman Empire.

Russia is not without a sober ruler, but under Nicholas I's autocratic rule, no one dared to stand up against Nicholas I's crazy and unrealistic expansion plan.

The fate of the country belongs to the Romanov family, and their own fate. They didn't expect Siberia to participate in the Siberian farmhouse with the February party members.

"His Majesty."

The Minister of the Russian Empire, Foreign Minister Karl Nesserrod mustered up the courage to fight out.

"My minister has a harsh word, I hope His Majesty will not overestimate the hostility between England and France, and misestimate the friendship between Russia and England."

The patriarchal foreign minister of the Romanov dynasty, during the period of Alexander I, after the end of the anti-French war, Nesselrod accompanied Alexander I to participate in the meeting in Vienna that reshaped the Europa continent: Vienna in 1814-1815 Meeting.

All the major countries on the continent of Europa participated in this meeting. The Russian Empire, as the leader of the anti-French war alliance, the savior of Europe, and Britain became the protagonists of this meeting, which is to reshape the continent of Europa.

"I think you are worrying too much. There is no friendship between Britain and France." Nicholas I said displeased.

Nicholas I didn't care about the old minister's statement. He firmly believed that the judgment made by his brave and brave self was correct.He will lead the great Russian Empire to a higher peak and dominate the Europa continent.

"Telegram to our Imperial Navy Admiral Menshikov, let him prepare and go to Constantinople to convey my will to the Ottoman Sultan. If you don't accept the protection of the Russian Empire, there is only war waiting for them!"

Menshkov?

After hearing this name, Nesserrod's heart skipped a beat. Menshikov's character was similar to that of Nicholas I himself, ignorant of diplomacy, grumpy, and impulsive. He sent such a person to Constantinople Negotiating with Osman will obviously not lead to any good results.

"Marshal Menshikov has no diplomatic experience, so he is not a suitable candidate to go to Ottoman. The veteran is willing to represent Marshal Menshikov to Ottoman."

Nesserrod didn't want the situation to develop in the worst direction. He volunteered and expressed his willingness to go to the Ottoman Empire on behalf of Menshikov.

"A mighty general going to the Ottoman Empire is more deterrent than a polite foreign minister going to the Ottoman Empire."

Nicholas I rejected Nesselrod's offer.

Thousands of miles away in the Palace of Versailles, the new emperor of the French Empire opened the reply letter from St. Petersburg.

The beginning of the reply made Napoleon III very angry. Nicholas I called him my dear friend in the letter, which was a great insult to his Napoleon family. He should call himself my good brother.

After Napoleon III proclaimed himself emperor, the major countries on the continent of Europa either recognized him or acquiesced in his status as the French emperor, but Nicholas I was the only one who disagreed and refused to recognize him as the legal emperor of France.

The reason given by Nicholas I was that, according to the Congress of Vienna, the Bonaparte family had no right of succession to the throne.

The Vienna Conference is a disgrace to France. The purpose of this conference is to restrain the powerful France and prevent France from making a comeback.

For forty years, the shackles of the Vienna Conference have been comforting France, and the once mighty France can't breathe.

Now he wants to break the shackles, break free, make France great again, and once again look at the continent of Europe!
