Make France Great Again

"You need me to do something!"

Now that Canning fully understands the unknown transactions between France and Britain, he has an obligation to "add bricks and mortar" to promote cooperation between Britain and France.

"Ambassador Canning! We really need your help!" Valewski said to Canning sincerely: "We hope that you can give the Ottoman Empire maximum support. We are very worried that the Ottoman Empire will surrender directly to the Russian Empire. "

Although the negotiations between Rifat Pasha and Menshikov were just stalling for time, no one could guarantee whether the false negotiations would turn into real surrender.

Once the Ottoman Empire cannot withstand the pressure of the Russian Empire and surrenders, France's desire to go to war with the Russian Empire will most likely die in pregnancy.

After all, the two rightful owners have already announced their mutual understanding, and a third party declares that the understanding between you two does not constitute a legal effect. Such an act of forcibly starting a group is simply trampling on "peace" underfoot.

Don't look at Jérôme Bonaparte and the military command members surrounding him secretly bragging all day long that "the truth is only within the range of the cannon!", but on the surface they must love peace more than anyone else.

Regardless of whether it is a war in the East or a war in the West, we must pay attention to the teacher's reputation.

Even in the future World War I, it was Serbian-trained assassins who killed Archduke Ferdinand, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire became passionate.

With a mentality of revenge, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire officially put forward harsh conditions to the Serbian government, some of which even related to the territorial sovereignty of Serbia itself. Only after Serbia sought help from the Russian Empire, the big brother behind it, did the Russian Empire announce the issue of protecting Serbia's sovereignty.

After that, Austria-Hungary's ally Weiwei smiled and gave Austria-Hungary a bad check. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Russia declared war on Austria-Hungary, Germany declared war on Russia, and then declared war on France.

In this way, the battle started in confusion. Austria-Hungary's "division" was that its grand duke was shot dead by an assassin trained by Serbia. Russia's "division" was that Austria-Hungary's conditions for Serbia were too harsh.

Although the reasons of both sides are far-fetched, each one is enough to declare war on the opponent.

Of course, the final outcome was very tragic. The three crowns fell, the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated, and the French Republic directly wiped out a generation.

It can be said that both sides suffer losses.

The nationalist general war still needs a suitable name, not to mention the semi-aristocratic war, which requires a lot of whitewashing to successfully deceive the country.

"Is the French Empire not ready yet?" Ambassador Canning asked doubtfully.

"This is a collision between great powers. You can't be too careful!" Valewski answered cautiously, and then added: "Don't worry! It won't be long before France will be free to stand side by side with Britain." Fight!!”

"I understand!" Ambassador Canning nodded and said to Walewski.

Now that the French government behind Valewski has prepared for war, the British Kingdom is more confident.

The land army of the French Empire and the maritime army of the British Kingdom combined together were truly invincible.

On April 5, a late telegram appeared at the British Embassy in the Ottoman Empire.

The telegram once again appointed Stratford Canning as the British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, and also gave Canning once again the power to call for support from the Mediterranean fleet.

Now Kan is about to stage the drama of the return of the king.

That afternoon, Canning went to Muhammad Ali's mansion in person.

Canning in the mansion made an impassioned speech calling on Muhammad Ali to maintain a tough attitude towards the Russian Empire. At the same time, he personally assured the Ottoman Empire that if the Russian Empire attempted to invade the Ottoman Empire, the British Mediterranean Fleet would be the first to attack the Ottoman Empire. Immediately rushed to help the Ottoman Empire.

Muhammad Ali, who was guaranteed by Stratford Canning, was overjoyed. I thought that Canning would once again choose to support Reshid after his return, but I didn't expect that Canning would make such a guarantee to himself.

Now, Muhammad Ali, who had the dual blessings of Britain and France, was no longer afraid of the Russian Imperial Army. He also personally assured Ambassador Canning that he would obey the orders of the British Kingdom and be a loyal lackey of the British Kingdom.

Canning didn't believe Muhammad Ali's assurance.

If the current situation were not turbulent and rashly intervening in the replacement of the Ottoman Prime Minister would cause unnecessary trouble, Canning would definitely replace Muhammad Ali with Mustafa Reshid.

Subsequently, Canning adhered to the principle of feud between Britain and France and told Muhammad Ali in a subtle way. In fact, Menshikov had no reason to attack the Ottomans. The key was that the Ottoman Empire must unswervingly resolve the Holy Land dispute with Russia. separate the issue from other aspects and make it an independent issue.

Regarding the Holy Land dispute, Russia does have the right to demand the restoration of privileges under the treaty, but in order to safeguard Turkey's sovereignty, Russia's other demands must be rejected. What religious rights the sultan's subjects should enjoy must be determined by the sultan based on his status as Ottoman monarch, not by some system controlled by Russia.

In other words, all France’s efforts before December 20 will be wiped out, so that France and Russia will stand on the same starting line again.

Faced with Canning's suggestion, Muhammad Ali obviously resisted.

Now that the Ottoman Empire has offended the Russian Empire, there is no need or ability to cause trouble to the French Empire.

Otherwise, the Ottoman Empire's small size would really not be able to withstand the attacks of the two European army powers.

Therefore, Muhammad Ali politely rejected Canning's suggestion.

Seeing that the diplomatic relations between France and the Ottomans could not be shaken, Canning couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Now it seems that Muhammad Ali is not entirely a "fool" who is obsessed with power struggle.

Next, Canning and Muhammad Ali discussed Menshikov's condition that all Orthodox Christians and Greek churches in the Ottoman Empire be handed over to the protection of the Russian Empire.

The two reached an agreement on this issue. They believed that Menshikov...no, it should be said that the tsar behind Menshikov regarded the Holy Land dispute and the protection of the Greek Church as a Trojan horse in the ancient Greek wars. Through this A "Trojan horse" completed the infiltration and dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire.

After the long and boring analysis, Canning stood up and said goodbye to Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali enthusiastically sent Canning out of his mansion.

After Canning left, Muhammad Ali once again called Foreign Minister Fat Pasha and former Foreign Minister Fuad Effendi.

The three people sat on sofas in three different directions and exchanged views on the situation in the Ottoman Empire.

Muhammad Ali believed that the Ottoman Empire should give Menshikov a firm rejection in order to dispel Menshikov's unrealistic ideas.

Fuad Effendi and Rifat Pasha gave Muhammad Ali completely different views.

Fuad Effendi and Rifaat Pasha believed that the Ottoman Empire should insist on delaying so that it could wait for assistance from the West, especially the French Empire.

They who once served as Ottoman ambassadors to the Kingdom of Britain really lacked enough confidence in the combat effectiveness of the British Kingdom's native troops.

In their words, "The British Kingdom dispersed its limited troops throughout many colonies, and the troops they left on the mainland were simply not enough to support a high-intensity war. And every British war's favorite method of recruiting troops was to Capture homeless people on the street and then order them to fight each with a gun.

The combat effectiveness of those compulsorily recruited soldiers can be imagined, not to mention that some British officers can purchase them as long as they spend a certain amount of money.

Unlike French officers, most of them relied on military exploits or came out of military academies! "

To sum up, Fuad Effendi and Rifat Pasha believe that the quality of French soldiers is much higher than that of the British Kingdom.

The war between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire was not only a war on the Black Sea, but also a war on land.

Logically speaking, they should help France continue to delay.

At the insistence of Fuad Edifin and Rifat, Muhammad Ali gave up his idea and ordered Rifat Pasha to do his best to hold back the Russian Empire.

Rifat Pasha said that he would definitely continue to deal with Menshikov.

From April 6 to 26, Rifat Pasha tried his best to deal with Menshikov.

Including but not limited to pretending to be sick, going out, handling other diplomatic affairs, etc.

Menshikov, who had not seen progress in negotiations for a long time, was held accountable by Nicholas I. Nicholas I criticized Menshikov in harsh terms and ordered him to get the Ottoman Empire to sign the treaty as soon as possible. Find bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com

On April 28, Menshikov came to Muhammad Ali's mansion and issued a final message to Muhammad Ali, ordering them to hand over a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the Ottoman Empire would suffer the ruthlessness of the Russian Empire. ground blow.

Muhammad Ali fully agreed to Menshikov's opinion and turned around and handed everything over to Rifat Pasha.

Rifat Pasha continued to delay.

In early May, Menshikov approached Muhammad Ali for the second time. This time his words were more severe and he restricted the Ottoman Empire to give him a suitable solution within two weeks.

At this time, Muhammad Ali reluctantly agreed to Menshikov's suggestion. He told Menshikov that the Imperial Council would discuss Menshikov's request on May 17.
