"Your Majesty, it was indeed because we were too impatient that the Russian Empire and the French Empire had to fight each other, but now I personally think that the French Empire and the Russian Empire should not continue like this. Continuing will only make Some countries take advantage of the fisherman!"

Hearing Alexander II's answer, Jerome Bonaparte felt a little surprised, but at the same time he admired Alexander II's flexible attitude.

As the future monarch of the Russian Empire, Alexander II dared to admit his mistakes to the rival French Empire without the Russian Empire facing complete defeat.

Which of the tsars of the Russian Empire is not an arrogant person, take Alexander II's father Nicholas I as an example, he is a person who will never admit his mistakes, even if he really did something wrong , and he will always continue on the wrong path until death.

In addition to the help of Jerome Bonaparte in the emergence of the Crimean War, Nicholas I also played a key role.

If Nicholas I resolutely chose peace after seeing the Anglo-French alliance, then even if Jerome Bonaparte wanted to initiate peace, Britain and Austria would also stop him.

Then again, the reason why Alexander II so frankly admitted that there are indeed some problems in the Russian Empire, Jerome Bonaparte guessed that it should be related to his position.

After all, Alexander II is just a future monarch, and the current head of the Russian Empire is still Nicholas I.

There are some things that Nicholas I, who is the monarch, can't say, doesn't mean that Alexander II, who is the crown prince, can't say it.

"You have some truth in what you said!" Jerome Bonaparte pretended to agree with Alexander II's words, and then showed a tangled expression on his face: "However, now our French Empire is fighting side by side with some of the countries you mentioned. If you rashly betray them and sign a peace with you, I am afraid there will be serious consequences!"

Confused by Jerome Bonaparte's expression, Alexander II thought that Jerome Bonaparte had been shaken, and couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed. He hurriedly helped Jerome Bonaparte and said: "Some countries are only in the Take advantage of you, Your Majesty, only the Russian Empire is your true partner!"

"Alexander, you're right!" Jerome Anan nodded troublesomely and agreed: "The diplomacy of the French Empire should be decided by us, and other countries have no right to point fingers at us!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Alexander II nodded again and again.

"But..." Jerome Bonaparte's face showed just the right amount of doubt and hesitation.

"But what?" Alexander II asked immediately.

"Alexander, do you really have the ability to change the established policies of your Russian Empire?" Jerome Bonaparte seemed to distrust Alexander II's influence on the policies of the Russian Empire, "It's not that I don't believe in your ability! It's just that Now the ruler of the Russian Empire is not you, but your father Nikolai! Can you really persuade Nikolay to make peace with us?

To be honest, after we captured Sevastopol! Our goal has been achieved, and the rest is a matter of winning more and less.

I myself don't want to watch my soldiers spend the winter on this icy peninsula. If your conditions are right, we are still willing to make peace with you! "

"Your Majesty, I once entrusted Baron von Seebach (son-in-law of Nessel-Rodie, ambassador of the Kingdom of Saxony to France) to express our attitude, as long as you want peace, peace will naturally come!" Alexander II The world responded to Jerome Bonaparte excitedly, he raised his chest and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Now I can repeat it to you again, the beginning of peace depends on your attitude!"

"Okay! Alexander, I can tell you clearly now, as long as the Russian Empire promises me these conditions! I am willing to conclude peace with you!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Alexander II.

"What conditions?" Alexander II hurriedly asked.

Jerome Bonaparte immediately stated his conditions: 1. The Russian Empire promised not to make any retaliatory wars against European countries after the war, and at the same time recognized the Austrian Empire's right to protect the Danube Principality and the Ottoman Empire's commitment to the Danube River. Sovereignty of the Principality. (The handling of the Danube Principality is based on Bosnia before the annexation, that is, the Ottoman Empire has a false name, while the Austrian Empire has the actual rights of the Danube Principality.)

Regarding the first condition, Alexander II only frowned slightly and agreed to Jerome Bonaparte. He understood that after the war was over, the focus of the Russian Empire should be shifted from external expansion to internal politics. reform.

The actions of Britain and France on the Crimean Peninsula have made the Russian Empire realize its own inadequacies, and the pace of reform has accelerated.

The second condition is that the Russian Empire recognizes the free people liberated by France on the Crimea Peninsula, recognizes the reform achievements of the French Empire on the Crimea Peninsula, and at the same time, after the departure of France, the Russian Empire must not turn them into serfs again. .

Alexander II, who had liberal ideas, also thought about it for a long time and agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's conditions.

If only one corner of Sevastopol is liberated, the Russian Empire will still be able to make up its mind.

However, after the third condition, Alexander II was somewhat unacceptable.

"The Russian Empire must dismantle its militarized facilities along the Black Sea coast, including fleets, barracks, fortresses, factories, and shipyards!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Alexander II without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to tell my father about your condition!" Alexander II responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "My father may also find it difficult to agree to your request!"

"Alexander, the military installations in the Black Sea area will not be demolished! It is difficult for us to believe whether the Russian Empire really intends to make peace!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and replied to Alexander II, "Do you still want to repeat in Sinop military action in the region?"

Alexander II was silent, and he had to ask Jerome Bonaparte for the next condition.

"Fourth, the Russian Empire must return all your forces in the Caucasus to the time before the war began, and at the same time compensate France and the Ottoman Empire for their losses in the Crimea and the Caucasus!" Jerome Bonaparte to Alexander II Shi continued.

It was not until Alexander II heard this condition that he discovered that Jerome Bonaparte did not want peace, but wanted peace after the surrender of the Russian Empire.

So, Alexander II angrily rebuked Jerome Bonaparte. "Your Majesty, you are not making peace! You are making the Russian Empire unilaterally surrender!"

"Alexander, does the Russian Empire still have the right to choose?" Jerome Bonaparte asked rhetorically.

"We still have more than 200,000 troops in Crimea!" Alexander II responded to Jerome Bonaparte through gritted teeth.

"If you think your army can defeat us, then you probably wouldn't have come so quickly to make peace with us!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Alexander II with a calm attitude.

"Although we have failed once, it was only because you had more people than us! Now we have assembled more than 200,000 people on the Crimea Peninsula!" Alexander II emphasized his strength again.

"It's just a mob!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a mocking expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, since you are unwilling to conclude peace, let's fight on the battlefield!" Alexander II said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Yes!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said to Alexander, "I think if we can't completely defeat the army of more than 200,000 people you said, you may not be convinced! Let our two armies be in Fight as much as you like on the battlefield!"

After finishing speaking, Jerome Bonaparte called Jerome Patterson outside the room and ordered him to personally send the Alexander II mission to safely leave Sevastopol.

"Remember to bring more people, there must be no mistakes!" Jerome Bonaparte glanced at Alexander II and said with a half-smile: "Otherwise the Russian Empire will think that we have secretly killed their crown prince!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jerome Patterson gave the emperor a military salute, and then said to Alexander II with a straight face, "His Royal Highness Alexander, please come with me!"

Alexander II left in anger. Jerome Bonaparte stood by the window sill and watched the figures of Alexander II and others riding away. He shook his head and said, "It's a pity, you didn't come at the right time!"

Then, a happy smile appeared on his face: "However, yours helped me a little!"

Not long after Alexander II's departure, notices appeared in Sevastopol, stating that the Russian Empire declared that it would not recognize the liberation of the free people within Sevastopol.

That is, if the Russian Empire comes back, then all the free people will be turned into serfs again.

As soon as the notice came out, Sevastopol panicked immediately, and many freedmen who left their serf status and engaged in the construction of the railway between Sevastopol and Kamish Port suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Having tasted the sweetness, they sincerely hope that Britain and France can win the war, so that they don't have to change back to the original serfs.

At the same time, a man who claimed to be a descendant of the Crimean Khanate appeared in Sevastopol and announced to the people of Sevastopol that he would respect all beliefs in the Crimean peninsula, while wishing to be different People of faith can unite against the barbaric Russian Empire and build a new Crimea.

His name is Mussad Galai.
