Chapter 611 The meeting between the emperor and the emperor (third update, please subscribe)
Some things must be kept strictly confidential, and absolutely must not be known to any other country.

This is a secret meeting.And this meeting did take place on the soil of other countries.

How to keep it secret?

This in itself is a very difficult thing to do.

But it's okay.Now the whole of France is immersed in the impact of the emperor's death, and they don't care about the actions of foreign emperors at all.

Under careful arrangements, the two emperors of Ming Dynasty and the Russian Empire met.In order to keep them secret, their meeting was definitely not in the manor arranged by the French side, but in a forest hut between the two manors.

This very ordinary-looking forest hut was bought specially before that.

For the sake of confidentiality, neither of them brought anyone with them.So much so that there is not even a guard outside this forest hut.

The light of the oil lamp in the hut swayed with the wind. Sitting at the small wooden table, Emperor Zhu and Tsar Alexander II faced each other.

This was the first meeting between the two of them, and even this meeting was unknown to the outside world. In fact, after Buffett visited St. Petersburg, Alexander II had always hoped to meet Emperor Ming.

The death of Napoleon III created this opportunity.Give them a chance to discuss some topics face to face.

"I appreciate Your Majesty's support of Russia in Constantinople."

Since there is no translation, they are all in French.After all, in this era, French was the court language of Europe, and even Queen Victoria could speak French fluently.

"Verbal support has no real meaning."

Emperor Zhu shook his head and said.

"I could repeat my attitude ten thousand times, but your Majesty, this does not prompt you to return to Constantinople,"

I have to say that as a diplomat, Emperor Zhu is competent. He can always scratch the other side's itch. Just like now, he uses "return" instead of "occupation", which is tantamount to indirect recognition of Russia "Heir to the Roman Empire" status.

But such an acknowledgment is meaningless, after all, the city is now in the hands of the Turks.

"Your Majesty, it is true that if we want to return to Constantinople, we must defeat the Turks, but they are not alone! So only they, as early as the Crimean War, we may have won Victory in the war!"

Alexander II was once again brooding when it came to the Crimean War, in which he sacrificed his father, after all - Russia cannot have a defeated Tsar, either apoplexy or...

Revenge was his promise at his father's funeral.But in the absence of the possibility of winning, he would never let himself have a chance of apoplexy.

So before the riot, he would do everything possible to find a chance to avoid his stroke.That's why he's here.

Just to keep myself from having a stroke.

After all, the Tsar of Russia was prone to strokes.

"The Crimean War was the result of the intervention of Britain and France, and your country failed, but their reasons for participating in the war were different. The French Second Empire's participation in the Crimean War was essentially to consolidate the interests of the interest groups headed by Napoleon III. rule to ease domestic conflicts. It is the British who will really try their best to stop you!"

Looking at Alexander II, Zhu Xianhai became angry again.

"Your Majesty, as we all know, India is one of the most important British colonies. Britain's demand for labor and raw materials is obvious. However, as a European country, Britain is far away from India. The cost of the traditional Cape of Good Hope route is quite high. The Mediterranean itself has many military strongholds and commercial interests, so the route to the East through the Suez Canal is particularly important. In the eyes of the British at that time, if one day the resource-rich Czarist Russia with a large population breaks through the Boprussian Strait and enters Eastern Mediterranean, then the sea lifeline of the British Empire will be seriously threatened,"

In fact, there is no need for Emperor Zhu to explain these words. The Russians who are the direct victims know what the British think better than anyone else.

"Worse still, it might open up opportunities for further Russian advances into British India or Scandinavia. All in all, the expansion of the Russian Empire in the Balkans would be very negative for British overseas careers anyway. Therefore, the British Empire must keep you in the Boporus Strait, which is why in the last war, Britain joined forces with France to block you. The balance of the continent and the actual interests of the United Kingdom made it difficult for them to If you don’t make such a choice, Your Majesty, Turkey has absolutely no ability to stop you, the only problem is Britain.”

As an "expert in arching fire", Emperor Zhu said every word to the bottom of Alexander II's heart, not because it reached his heart, but because this is the truth, otherwise in the past ten years, Russia has also He will not do everything possible to seek a breakthrough from France. Even the reason why Alexander II came to France to attend the funeral of Napoleon III in person this time is to ease the relationship between the two countries.

"Your Majesty, Russia has not challenged Britain's strength!"

Alexander directly stated this reality,

"But Russia must capture Constantinople, so Russia needs your help!"

Of course Emperor Zhu knew what the "you" he was referring to was the attitude of Daming and France, especially France.

"Of course we can help. I think that on many issues, we and Russia have common interests. After all, to a large extent, we are all constrained by the UK, and the UK's "offshore balancing technique". In essence, it is centered on suppressing the rise of Ming Dynasty, Russia, and France. If we want to break this point, we will inevitably have a fundamental conflict with the United Kingdom, and this conflict is likely to turn into a war, but whether it is between us Against Britain alone, or in alliance with other nations, our chances of victory are slim to none! If we had formed a broad alliance, then I think the result would have been very different."

"Russia thinks so too!"

Alexander II suppressed the excitement in his heart. Isn't this the chance he had dreamed of to avoid a stroke!
Then he said.

"We are very willing to sign some kind of alliance treaty with the Ming Empire and the French Empire. We believe that the signing of such a treaty will benefit the three parties. But, Your Majesty, what is France's attitude?"

Once again, Alexander II mentioned France. Compared to Daming, France is stronger, and their attitude is of course more important. If there is no France to join this treaty, it is only Daming, which does not make much sense. After all, Daming is too far away from Europe. Moreover, he believed that the focus of Ming's interests was in the Americas, and their purpose was nothing more than to take the opportunity to expand in the Americas when Britain's power was restrained by Europe. For this, anyone's heart is like a bright mirror.

So, in the final analysis, what Russia needs is France!

This alliance will only become meaningful if France joins it, after all France and Britain are only separated by a strait.

And for Britain, France is the biggest threat.The meeting would have been meaningless without the participation of France.

"France……"

Emperor Zhu pursed his lips, and then said.

"During the Crimean War, France joined the war in order to obtain military glory to divert internal conflicts. After Eugene succeeded to the throne, he will face the same situation as his father. He needs military glory to consolidate his Throne."

Staring at Alexander World War II, Emperor Zhu directly raised the question of France, then turned the conversation around and said.

"Suppose we give Eugene a military victory that has never been achieved before? This victory may even allow him to obtain military exploits not inferior to his grandfather. Will he refuse?"

After all, when Emperor Zhu stopped talking, he just looked at Alexander II with a smile. Why did the British conspiracy succeed repeatedly when the whole of Europe knew that the British were "shit-stirring sticks"?
To put it bluntly, the British always follow one reason-interest!
They will directly offer a price that the other party cannot refuse in the negotiation, and interests are the core of everything.Between countries, if you don't talk about interests, is it possible to talk about friendship?

Now, Emperor Zhu threw out his bait. He believed that his bait could not only be rejected by Alexander II, but also by Eugene.

There is no other reason, only benefits.As long as you know what the other party wants, you can naturally do what you want.

"What kind of victory? Your Majesty!"

asked Alexander II.

"What price does this require Russia to bear?"

There has never been a free lunch in this world. Since we are talking about benefits, we must pay a certain sacrifice.

Zhu Xianhai handed a piece of paper to Alexander II and said.

"This is one of my plans!"
