Chapter 375： Nearly Broken Negotiations

"During this time, you live here and try not to move around!"

Valewski, who brought Konstantin Klein under his command, said to Klein.

"What is my status now?" Konstantin Klein, who suddenly switched camps, quickly got used to his current status and asked Valewski.

"You are now the third-level secretary of the embassy!" Wallevsky said to Konstantin Klein immediately.

The third-level secretary is equivalent to the lowest-level existence in the entire embassy. Under the third-level secretary are only those servants who live in the embassy.

Considering that the servant himself is a member of the National Intelligence Service, Konstantin Klein's identity is probably the lowest in the entire embassy.

Of course, not every embassy servant is a member of the National Intelligence Service.

After Jerome Bonaparte became president, he kept paying attention to the situation in the Near East, which led to Marcel Yaluger's special attention to the Near East.

Now it seems that it is still necessary to focus on the heart, and it is not guaranteed that the traitor will be silently eliminated at a critical time.

Even though Konstantin Klein's identity is a "lowly" third-level secretary, Constantine is still very happy.

As Wallevsky said, he finally has a backer behind him.

After you have a backer, you have to be careful when others want to bully you.

Although Konstantin didn't know what exactly Wallevsky wanted him to do, he was reluctant to ask too much, and he believed that Wallevsky would naturally tell him at that time.

Valevsky, who had recruited Konstantin, returned to the telegraph room and ordered the dispatcher to tell the Paris side about the incident of the betrayal of France by the military attaché.

Early the next morning, a telegram from Paris came out of the telegraph room.

In addition to knowing the betrayal of the chargé d'affaires and ordering Valevsky to search for it again, the content of the telegram is to hope that Valevsky can maintain the balance between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire as much as possible.

Through the cable, Wallevsky speculated that the death of the chargé d'affaires was probably the result of Paris.

If Paris really did it, then he'll have to be careful in the future

As soon as Valevsky read the telegram, Menshkov was told by his servant to ask for an interview.

"Menshkov? Isn't he supposed to attend the welcome ceremony? Why did he suddenly come here?" Valevsky said to himself triumphantly.

After Wallewski's voice was heard by the telegraph operator on the side, the telegraph operator explained: "Your Excellency, the time for the welcome ceremony is at night!"

"Look at my memory!" Wallevsky couldn't help but patted his head.

Immediately, Valevsky urged the servant: "What are you still doing! Quickly invite Prince Menshkov in!"

"Yes!" The servant went downstairs quickly after receiving the order, and Wallevsky also went downstairs slowly.

Menshkov and Valewski, two men with an age difference of almost 30 years, met in the embassy living room.

After shaking hands with each other, the two sat on two sofas of different colors. Wallevsky seemed to have a red-brown wool cushion sofa under it, while Menshkov's **** was a blue woolen cushion sofa.

"I deeply regret what happened recently in France!" Menshkov, who had just sat down, immediately distanced himself from the charge d'affaires.

"Huh? The news of the Russian Empire is still very well-informed!" Wallevsky showed a playful smile, and said slightly yin and yang: "I seriously doubt whether our embassy has an internal response from your country!"

"How is this possible! Our Russian Empire will never do such a thing!" Menshkov sneered and quickly rejected Valevsky's idea.

If you send spies in other people's embassies, if they are found out, it will really become a diplomatic crisis.

Furthermore, Menshkov does not believe that the members of the "third division" who are experts in civil wars and those who are not in foreign wars can intervene in the French embassy.

"Then what did the Russian Empire say about the recent events?" Valevsky asked Menshkov step by step.

Menshkov, who was originally not good at diplomacy, quickly admitted under the pressure of Wallevsky: "I do know something about France from other sources."

Immediately, he added as if hiding his ears and stealing the bell: "But it definitely didn't come from the embassy!"

"Then the Russian Empire must also know about France's foreign policy towards the Near East!" Valevsky asked bluntly.

"Indeed! I heard about it!" Menshkov nodded, and then continued: "I personally believe that the French Empire should stand with the Russian Empire, and let us join hands to maintain the glory of the Holy Land. I can assure you , your interests in the Holy Land will not be violated, and the Russian Empire will fight for the interests of the Orthodox and Catholics!"

"If the Russian Empire is only a religious issue, then the French Empire welcomes the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire to have some discussions on differences!" Wallevsky first agreed with Nicholas I for maintaining the power of the Orthodox Church, and then changed the conversation: " If the Russian Empire conducts occupation operations on the basis of religion, then the French Empire has to consider attacking the Russian Empire!"

The fact that the French Empire made it clear that it wanted to interfere with the Ottoman Empire made Menshkov a bit of a taboo. He was not afraid of the Ottoman Empire, but he was very afraid of the French Empire.

"Ambassador Valevsky, please be blunt!" Menshkov emphasized to Valevsky: "A collision between two army "powers" will cause a large number of casualties. It's doing neither of us any good!"

"It's really no good!" Wallevsky nodded and replied: "But this is not a reason for strong countries to bully weak countries. If all the powers do this, peace and order in Europe will disappear in the first place."

"The Russian Empire is only here to liberate the Slavs. The Slavs have suffered humiliation under the Ottoman enslavement! We must safeguard the interests of the Slavs!" Menshkov said in a tough tone.

Wallevsky also pointed to Maimang: "The liberation in your mouth is nothing but an act of aggression in my opinion!"

Looking at the envoy of the French Empire, who was not to be outdone, Menshkov almost couldn't control his temper and declared war on France.

Thinking of the fleet behind Wallevsky that could be mobilized at any time, Menshkov suppressed his impulse again.

"How can the Russian Empire convince the French Empire that we are here in peace!" Menshkov asked Valevsky word for word.

"We hope that Prince Paskevich, who is stationed in the Principality of Wallachia, can withdraw to Bessarabia. The occupation of the Danube Principality by the Russian Empire can be regarded as an act of aggression!" Wallevsky told Menshkov.

"The Russian Imperial Army withdraws from Bessarabia?" Menshkov couldn't believe his ears.

"That's right! The Russian Empire's army must be withdrawn! Only then will France believe that the Russian Empire has come with sincerity!" Valevsky once again responded with a tough attitude.

"No! His Majesty the Tsar will never agree to withdraw!" Menshkov shook his head and responded to Valevsky.

"In that case, let's see who is more powerful between the Russian Empire's fleet and the French Empire's fleet!" Valevsky directly threatened Menshkov.

"Don't forget! The Kingdom of Great Britain is the ocean overlord in this world!" Menshkov also counter-threatened Valewski.

"I admit that Britain's maritime power is indeed far more than that of the French Empire, but they will certainly fight to maintain peace in Europe like the French Empire!" In Wallevsky's words, the Second French Empire has been around since the beginning of its birth. In love with peace.

"The British cabinet may want to dismantle the Ottoman Empire just like the Russian Empire!" Menshkov responded to Valevsky.

"Then we'll just wait and see!" Valewski did not explain too much, he responded with a smile.

There is no doubt that the Russian Empire and the French Empire are really on the cusp of the Ottoman Empire, and no one is willing to back down.

After Menshkov left, Wallevsky went to the office building of the Minister of the Interior and told the Minister of the Interior that he no longer needed to find the chargé d'affaires, and France would not pursue the disappearance of the chargé d'affaires in Constantinople.

Amid the gratitude of the Home Secretary, Wallewski left the Home Secretary's office.

on the other hand. Menshkov, who returned from the French embassy, ​​also held back his anger.

When the Russian ambassador to the Ottomans asked Menshkov if he should change into formal clothes for the welcome ceremony, Menshkov rudely interrupted the ambassador: "I will never compromise for a decadent empire~www.novelhall. com~ Absolutely not!"

The ambassador was silent, thinking in his heart that Menshkov had been controlled by his own anger.

That night, Menshkov, dressed in his own inappropriate dress, took the embassy carriage to the palace where the Ottoman Caliph Sultan lived and ruled.

The carriage parked under the steps of Onion Head slowly opened, and Menshkov walked from the steps to the interior of the palace step by step.

At this time, all the members of the high gates and religious leaders, including the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Mejid I, were wearing their own proper attire.

Menshkov's attire looked out of place in this stately court.

"Hello, Prince Menshkov! I'm Fuad Effendi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Ottoman Empire!" Fuad Effendi stood beside Menshkov. Cove's polite handshake.

After Menshkov glanced contemptuously, he did not shake hands with Fuad Effendi.

"I will never shake hands with anyone who hates the Russian Empire!"
