In the main hall, the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Mejid I pardoned the crimes of the Principality of Moldova and the Principality of Wallachia with a magnanimous attitude, which shocked the ambassadors of the two principalities. .

"Merciful Your Majesty, your kindness is as hot as the sun..." The Minister of Moldova Principality immediately praised the Sultan, and the Wallachia Principality on the side also touted the Minister of the Principality of Moldova to the Minister of the Principality of Magid I. " Kindness".

Majed I's understanding of the two principalities of the Danube made it possible for Moldova and Wallachia to continue to ride the wall.

The ministers and emperors present laughed heartily at the praise of the ministers of Moldova and Wallachia.

After the envoys of the two duchies ended their nasty touts, the Ottoman sultan said again: "The fact that the grand dukes of your two countries can send you to explain to me is enough to prove your two countries' loyalty to the emperor.

This loyalty is something that no amount of money can buy! Since the Russian Empire wants to be greedy for even this money, then you hand it over to them! As long as you can continue to maintain your loyalty to the Ottoman Empire, that's enough! "

"Don't worry! Even if we are forced to join the Russian camp, our hearts will still be with the Ottoman Empire!" The ministers of the two principalities repeatedly assured the Ottoman Sultan.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved!" Abdul Majid I smiled, and then clapped his hands gently. Six people in navel costumes and black veils hung on their faces. Dancing girls appeared in the palace, each of them holding a small beautifully carved box in their hands.

"Your Majesty, this is..." the Moldovan envoy asked suspiciously.

"Open!" Abdul Mejid I commanded the dancing girls holding small boxes in a high-pitched tone.

The dancing girl came to the front of the two principality ministers and opened the box. The golden bricks and bright sapphires radiating light appeared in front of the ministers.

"The two gems in the box are the continuation of what I gave you, and the two gold bricks are my gift to you." Abdul Majid I's voice came from the throne to the ears of the envoys of the two countries. side.

"Your Majesty, this gift is too precious! We have no luck at all!" Although Abdul Mejid I, the minister of the Principality of Moldova, said righteously, his eyes never left the dancer's hand. BRIC.

Judging from the appearance and thickness of the gold bricks, these two gold bricks should be at least about 2 kilograms.

The continuance that Abdul Mejid I bestowed upon them was not unheard of.

But the Moldovan and Wallachia ministers understand that the more valuable the gift, the more difficult it is to do.

"Take it! If you don't accept it, then I will let people throw these things out!" Abdul Mejid I responded domineeringly: "The things sent out from my hands, There is absolutely no possibility of taking it back!"

"Since that's the case, then we'll accept it?" The Wallachia minister couldn't stand the temptation. He looked at the Moldovan minister and asked.

The Moldovan minister similarly swallowed and said, "I accept it! I accept it!"

"That's enough!" Abdul Mejid I laughed, and the ministers and ministers in the palace also laughed together

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you want us to do!" Since it has received a gift from the Ottoman Sultan, Moldova naturally needs to do something for the Sultan.

"I hope that after you return, you will be able to report to us the number, number, and equipment of the Russian troops stationed in Moldova and the Principality of Wallachia! We need to know the details of this army!"

It's embarrassing to say, the Russian Empire has been stationed in the Principality of Wallachia for half a year, but they have never understood the types of troops of the Russian Empire and the specific number of troops. The arrival of the ministers of Moldova and Wallachia has enabled the Ottoman Empire to better understand the Russian Empire!

"Yes!" The Wallachia minister responded immediately.

Anyway, the Russian Imperial Army is stationed in Wallachia, and with a little bit of means, you can smoothly find out what your Ottoman court wants.

"At the highest level, there is also a list of territorial liaison officers who infiltrated the Ottoman Empire from the Russian Empire! I want to know who is colluding with Russia in an attempt to destroy the Empire!" Abdul Mejid I suddenly thought of what Valevsky once told After hearing the news that he had dispatched a liaison officer from the Russian Empire, he immediately said murderously.

"Your Majesty, we can't guarantee whether we can actually get the list of liaisons, but I can guarantee that I will do my best!" The Moldovan minister responded to Abdul Mejid I.

"As long as you can do your best in the empire, I will keep your credit in my heart!" Abdul Mejid I nodded slightly to the ministers of the two duchies.

Afterwards, Abdul Mejid I talked with the Minister of Wallachia Principality about whether the Russian Imperial Army has any recent movements, and whether a large number of logistics materials have been delivered to the Principality of Wallachia!

After receiving a negative answer from the Principality of Wallachia, Abdul Mejid I breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for the Russian Empire to conduct large-scale military mobilization.

Every military mobilization must be fully prepared before, otherwise, it will face the embarrassing situation that the logistics supply cannot be maintained.

If we talk about the age of cold weapons, this situation is only a matter of food.

Just learn how the Mongols plundered all the way. In the era of hot weapons, bullets, solid shells, and grape bullets are the key to a war.

Since the Russian Empire did not have a large-scale logistical mobilization, it would be impossible for them to start operations.

To be honest, the Ottoman court is also puzzled by the current behavior of the Russian Empire. The negotiations have broken down and the threat of war has been issued, and the Russian Empire has not yet started to act, which is really unbelievable.

After asking the ministers of the two principalities a lot about the Russian Empire, Abdul Majid I ordered his attendants to send the two ministers out of the court and find a place for them to settle down.

After the envoys of the two duchies left, Abdul Mejid I gradually put away his generous smile, turned to show a dignified expression and said, "Minister Effendi, how was my acting just now?"

"Your Majesty, you did a great job! There was no sense of disobedience at all!" Fuad Effendi bowed his knees and saluted Abdul Mejid I.

"Very good!" Abdul Mejid I was also nodding for the perfect acting skills, and then he showed a contemptuous expression and fry his own rice: "These two idiots and the grand duke behind them are still thinking about it. They're trying to find a balance between the Empire and Russia, and they don't even look at what time it is!"

"You're right! People on both ends of the snake and rat will definitely be severely punished!" Fuad Effendi nodded and responded to Abdul Mejid I.

Speaking of which, Abdul Majid I had an unnatural look on his face, as if he had been screwed hard.

Not long after, Abdul Mejid I asked again. : "Minister Effendi, how do you answer me!"

"Your Majesty, please tell me!" Fuad Effendi responded obediently to Abdul Mejid I.

"Does the empire really need to cede the Danube Principality to survive!" Abdul Mejid I asked with a serious expression.

After being silent for a moment, Fuad Effendi replied, "Your Majesty, whether the Ottoman Empire retains the Duchy of the Danube is not in the Ottoman Empire itself, but in the French Empire. If the French Empire is happy to see the Ottoman Empire continue to retain the Duchy of the Danube, The Duchy of the Danube was able to remain within the Ottoman Empire.

If they think the Danube shouldn't stay with my mother-in-law..."

Having said that, Fuad Effendi said no more, he believed that Abdul Mejid I had understood what he wanted to say next In this way, we must do well Planning to lose the Danube Principality? "There was no emotion in Abdul Mejid's words, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him.

"I can only say that I should be prepared to lose it..." Fuad Effendi responded.

"Alas!" Abdul Mejid I sighed, got up and glanced at the portraits of monarchs hanging behind him and shook his head.

The reason why Fuad Effendi persuaded Abdul Mejid I to give up the sovereignty of the Danube Principality was because of a conversation two days ago.

The two sides of the conversation were Wallewski and Fuad Effendi.

Just two days before the Danube Principality arrived in Constantinople, Wallevsky received a telegram from France.

The content of the telegram was about the agreement between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire.

The telegram informed Wallevsky of the plans for the distribution of the Danube Principality between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire, and told Wallevsky to communicate with the Ottoman Empire to allow them to accept this decision.

In the face of the demands of Paris, which is like no other, Wallewski could only bite the bullet and accept it.

Wallewski, who called Fuad Bieffendi to the embassy, ​​explained the current situation to Fuad Effendi, and told Fuad Effendi that he must win over the Austrian Empire.

After hearing Wallewski's opinion, Fuad Effendi agreed with Wallewski's opinion very much, and said that he would definitely persuade Abdul Mejid I to accept this condition.
