Make France Great Again Chapter 381

"I need to do something!"

Now that Canning is fully aware of the unknown deals behind France and Britain, he is obliged to "add the building blocks" to promote cooperation between Britain and France.

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

Although it is said that the negotiations between Rifat Pasha and Menshkov are just delaying time, there is no way to guarantee whether the fake negotiations will turn into real surrender.

Once the Ottoman Empire could not withstand the pressure of the Russian Empire and surrendered, then France's desire to go to war with the Russian Empire is very likely to die in the womb.

After all, the two main masters have already announced mutual understanding, and you, a third party, have declared that the understanding between the two of you does not constitute a legal effect. Such forcible group formation is simply trampling "peace" under your feet.

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

No matter the war in the East or the war in the West, we must pay attention to the famous teacher.

Even in the future of the First World War, it was Serbian-trained assassins who killed Grand Duke Ferdinand, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was excited.

With the attitude of revenge, the official Austro-Hungarian Empire proposed harsh conditions to the Serbian government, some of which involved Serbia's own territorial sovereignty. Then Serbia seeks the help of its big brother, the Russian Empire, before the Russian Empire announces the issue of safeguarding Serbia's sovereignty.

After that, AustriHungary ally Weiwei gave AustriHungary an empty check with a smile. AustriHungary declared war on Serbia, Russia declared war on AustriHungary, Germany declared war on Russia, and then declared war on France.

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

Although there are some far-fetched reasons for both sides, each is enough to declare war on the opponent.

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

It can be said to be a lose-lose.

The overall nationalist war still needs a proper name, not to mention the semi-aristocratic war, which needs to be decorated to successfully fool the country.

"Isn't the French Empire ready yet?" Ambassador Canning asked suspiciously.

"This is a collision between great powers and great powers, and you can't be too careful!" Wallevsky replied 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 see!" Ambassador Canning nodded to Wallewski.

Now that the French government behind Wallevsky has prepared plans for war, the British kingdom is even more confident.

The land army of the French Empire was united with the sea army of the British Kingdom, and it was truly invincible.

On April 5, a late telegram appeared inside the British embassy in the Ottomans.

The telegram once again appointed Stratford Canning as the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, and once again gave Canning the power to call in the support of the Mediterranean Fleet.

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

In the afternoon, Canning personally went to Muhammad Ali's mansion.

Canning in the mansion appealed to Muhammad Ali to be tough on the Russian Empire in a fiery speech, while personally reassuring the Ottoman Empire that if the Russian Empire tried to invade the Ottoman Empire in vain, the British Mediterranean Fleet would be in the first place. Immediately rush to help the Ottoman Empire.

Mohamed Ali, guaranteed by Stratford Canning, was overjoyed. I thought that Canning would choose to support Rehed again after returning, but he did not expect Canning to make such a guarantee to himself.

Now, Muhammad Ali, who has the dual blessings of Britain and France, is no longer afraid of the Russian Imperial Army. He also assured Ambassador Canning in his own name that he would obey the orders of the Kingdom of Great Britain and be a loyal lackey of the Kingdom of Great Britain.

For Muhammad Ali's assurance, Canning's heart was a hundred disbelievers.

If it weren't for the turmoil in the current situation and the unnecessary troubles caused by rashly intervening in the replacement of the prime minister of the Ottoman Empire, Canning would definitely replace Muhammad Ali with Mustafa Reshid.

Later, Canning, adhering to the principle of Anglo-French feud, cryptically told Muhammad Ali that in fact, the way to want Menshkov to have no reason to attack the Ottomans is very simple. The key is that the Ottoman Empire must unswervingly resolve the Holy Land dispute with Russia The other aspects of the problem are separated, making it a separate problem.

In the Holy Land dispute, Russia does have the right to request the restoration of privileges under the treaty, but in order to preserve Turkish sovereignty, other Russian demands must be rejected. What religious rights the sultan's subjects should enjoy must be conferred by the sultan by virtue of his Ottoman monarchy, not through some Russian-held system.

In other words, it is to wipe out all the efforts of France before December 20, so that France and Russia will stand on the same starting line again.

Facing Canning's suggestion, Muhammad Ali obviously resisted.

The current Ottoman Empire has already offended the Russian Empire, and there is no need or ability to make trouble for the French Empire.

Otherwise, with the small size of the Ottoman Empire, it really cannot withstand the attack of the two European army powers.

So Muhammad Ali politely rejected Canning's suggestion.

Seeing that he could not shake the diplomatic relations between France and the Ottomans, Canning sighed inwardly.

Now, Muhammad Ali doesn't seem to be exactly a "dumb" obsessed with power struggles.

Next, Canning and Muhammad Ali discussed the terms of Menshkov's proposal to hand over all Orthodox Christians and Greek churches in the Ottoman Empire to the protection of the Russian Empire.

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

After the long and tedious analysis, Canning got up and said goodbye to Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali enthusiastically sent Canning out of his mansion.

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

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

Muhammad Ali believed that the Ottoman Empire should give Menshkov a firm rejection, so as to dispel Menshkov's unrealistic ideas.

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

Fuad Effendi and Rifat Pasha believed that the Ottoman Empire should resolutely focus on procrastination, so as to wait for the assistance of the West, especially the French Empire.

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

In their words, "The Kingdom of Britain has scattered its limited troops in many colonies, and the troops they stay in the homeland are simply not enough to support a high-intensity war. And the favorite way of conscription in every British war is in the Homeless people were arrested in the streets and ordered to fight, one by one, one by one.

The combat effectiveness of those soldiers who have passed the compulsory recruitment can be imagined, not to mention that some British officers can buy them for a certain amount of money.

Where are the French officers, most of them rely on military exploits, or come out of military academies! "

To sum up, Fuad Effendi and Rifat Pasha believed that the quality of French soldiers was much higher than that of the British kingdom.

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

Reasonably, they should help France continue to procrastinate.

At the insistence of Fuad Ediffen 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 deal with Menshkov.

From April 6th to 26th, Rifat Pasha tried his best to deal with Menshkov~www.mtlnovel.com~ including but not limited to pretending to be sick, going out, dealing with other foreign affairs and so on.

Menshkov, who had not been able to negotiate for a long time, was held accountable by Nicholas I. Nicholas I criticized Menshkov in harsh terms and ordered him to make the Ottoman Empire sign the treaty as soon as possible.

On April 28th, Menshkov came to Muhammad Ali's mansion and sent an ultimatum 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. strike.

Muhammad Ali agreed with Menshkov's advice, turned his head and handed everything over to Rifat Pasha.

Rifat Pasha continued to delay slowly.

In early May, Menshkov approached Muhammad Ali for the second time, this time with a more stern rhetoric, and obliged the Ottomans to hand him a suitable solution within two weeks.

At this time, Muhammad Ali reluctantly agreed to Menshkov's suggestion. He told the Menshkov Imperial Grand Council that the request from Menshkov would be discussed on May 17.
