Chapter 507： Vienna Conference (2)

Facing the sarcasm of Minister De Luiz, Orlov said to De Luiz without any shame on his face: "The purpose of the Russian Empire's military actions against the Ottoman Empire is to help De-extremification of the Ottoman Empire. To safeguard the rights of fellow Slavs in the Ottoman Empire. Our first phase of action is to punish the extremist forces in the Danube Principality and maintain peace on the European continent. To prevent the Russian Imperial Army from de-radicalizing the Danube During the period, the Ottoman Empire may have a sneak attack. Therefore, our army will have to go to the Silistra fortress and closely monitor the movement of the Silistra fortress."

"What a high-sounding reason!" De Ruiz said again in an exaggerated and sarcastic tone: "I have never seen a country like the Russian Empire that blatantly invaded the territory of another country and ignored the sovereignty of other countries."

"Minister De Luiz, the purpose of the Russian Empire is only to safeguard the right of our Slavic compatriots in the Ottoman Empire not to be oppressed by the Ottoman Empire government! You are distorting the policies of the Russian Empire government!" Count Orlov Count Righteously said verbally.

"Okay! If according to what you said, Count Orlov, the Russian Empire carried out a military operation against the Ottoman Empire in order to safeguard the right of the Slavic nation not to be oppressed in the Ottoman Empire, then I would like to ask, if One day other countries..." De Ruiz paused and showed an apologetic smile to Count Bauer: "I will use an analogy, for example: the Austrian Empire... As we all know, there are not a few Slavic peoples in the Austrian Empire. If we say One day, there will also be oppression of the Slavs in the Austrian Empire, and if the Slavs in the Austrian Empire cannot bear the oppression and ask for help from the Russian Empire, the Russian Empire will not treat the Austrian Empire like the Ottoman Empire.

After all, as His Excellency the Count just said, the Russian Empire can take action against the Slavs in the Ottoman Empire, regardless of the prerequisite for the internal affairs of a sovereign country. "

De Ruiz's words made Orlov unable to find an excuse to refute.

The reason is that the legal basis that Orlov found for the Russian Empire's invasion of the Ottoman Empire was too nonsense.

Of course, considering that Count Orlov himself is not a diplomat who is a real professional, but a temporary diplomat who is a spy chief.

In addition, the Russian Empire's understanding of diplomacy is still stuck in "I am strong, I am reasonable!" "Austrian Empire, you must learn to be grateful".

It is not surprising that Count Orlov's own map cannon-like remarks. In the concept of the Russian Empire, there has never been any real allies, only enemies and protectors (current Prussia and World War I). French Republic) and Son (Austrian Empire).

[ps: If you are interested, you can take a look at the article published by RIA Novosti recently: What should Russia do to Ukraine?

The content of the article is full of ideas of 19th century chauvinism, and the author has some doubts that the place where this article of the Russian Empire should appear is the eve of the Crimean War, not the 21st century.

Or, is there a possibility that Russia's foreign policy has remained unchanged from beginning to end. 】

"These two questions cannot be generalized! The Ottoman Empire is the Ottoman Empire, and the Austrian Empire is the Austrian Empire!" Count Orlov tried to use ambiguous words to resolve the sharp question raised by Minister De Luiz.

As the host of the meeting, Earl Bower frowned to show his displeasure.

Since the Russian Empire was able to invade the Ottoman Empire in this way, why not invade the Austrian Empire in the same way.

Seeing that the situation was gradually becoming unfavorable for the development of the Russian Empire, Count Orlov hurriedly assured Count Bauer: "The Russian Empire will never do anything to his friends! The Russian Empire cherishes the friendship of the Austrian Empire, and we hope that the Austrian Empire can share The Russian Empire stands together to maintain the peace and stability of the Danube!"

idiot!

Count Orlov's reassurance in public made Count Bauer's remaining goodwill towards the Russian Empire once again diminished.

The role of the Austrian Empire itself in this four-party talks is a mediator (the Austrian Empire is more inclined to Britain and France), a neutral, and Orlov's speech is undoubtedly trying to pull the Austrian Empire into their camp , causing the Austrian Empire to lose its dominance in this conference.

"Your Majesty, I invite you and the envoys from Britain and France to come over by His Majesty's order, not to announce to both of you who the Austrian Empire will stand on! Instead, I want to take this opportunity to bridge the contradictions that exist between the two of you! Bring the European continent back to peace!" said Count Bauer indifferently.

"Okay! Since Count Bauer has already said that this is a peaceful meeting, then we are also willing to exchange views candidly with the Russian Empire for the sake of European peace!" Count Clarendon said hard-to-eat.

"What about France's opinion?" Count Bauer asked De Ruiz in a flat tone.

"The opinion of the British kingdom is the opinion of the entire coalition!" De Ruisff responded to Count Bauer.

"Then does the Russian Empire continue to talk about it!" Count Bauer asked Count Orlov.

"Yes!" Count Orlov nodded.

Count Clarendon immediately offered his first opinion to Count Orlov: "We hope that the Russian Imperial Army will give up its territorial claims to the principalities of Serbia and the Danube, which will be returned to the protection of the Ottoman High Court. under!"

"No! I don't agree!" Orlov immediately objected to Count Clarendon: "Once the Ottoman Empire returns to the Danube Principality, it will definitely target the people of the Danube Principality with its butchering knives. I don't want to see an inhumane butchering knife in The Danube Principality staged!"

Gu Ma

In response to Orlov's objection, Count Bauer said, "Count Clarendon, the Austrian Empire agrees with the Russian Empire on this issue!"

A look of joy appeared on Count Orlov's face when he saw Count Bauer supporting him.

Whoever thought that the Austrian Empire was still standing with the Russian Empire had no idea that the condition proposed by Count Clarendon was a condition that had already been negotiated.

Earl Orlov's objection was also expected by Earl Clarendon, Earl Clarendon hesitated for a moment, then said: "Then we will revise the plan, these territories will be placed under the control of European powers and high-level governments. In the joint protection, the Gaomen government does not allow the wanton slaughter of the people of the Danube, how about this!"

Before Count Orlov could speak, Count Bauer nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Yes!" Count Orlov could only agree.

"Second, the Danube is open to all commercial sailing!"

"I object!" Orlov yelled against.

For a long time, the Russian Empire had monopolized the commercial trade of the Danube.

Today, the Danube underestimates that commercial navigation is going to be opened, which is not aimed at the Russian Empire.

"Then this one is put on hold for now!" Earl Clarendon didn't tangle too much on this one, and went straight to startle: "We hope to revise the Straits Treaty "with the goal of "balancing power in Europe" (Russian Empire). Dominance in the Black Sea will be discontinued

"Objection!" Count Orlov said without hesitation: "Since you said "European balance of power", then we hope that Britain and France will reduce your navies in the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea for the sake of the balance of power in Europe!"

"This issue is not in the scope of today's discussion!" Earl Clarendon responded strongly.

"In that case, please allow me to leave first!" Count Orlov said to Count Clarendon, and he used this method to express his protest against the "unequal" treaty between England and France.

Immediately, Count Orlov turned and left Schönbrunn Palace.

After Count Orlov left, Count Clarendon and Minister De Luiz left one after another.

Over the next week, Count Orlov began to seek foreign aid, first by visiting the ambassadors of the Kingdom of Prussia, hoping that they would stand with the Russian Empire, as they had helped the Kingdom of Prussia in 1851.

The Prussian ambassador regretfully told Orlov that he was just an ordinary ambassador of the Kingdom of Prussia to Austria and had no right to agree to Orlov's request without permission.

However, he would send a telegram to the Prussian side asking about the attitude of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Count Orlov left the embassy of the Kingdom of Prussia with gratitude and then visited the Belgian embassy. (Orlov really doesn't know who else is standing with them)

The ambassador of the Belgian embassy also told Orlov that they knew that there was no way, the strength of Britain and France was far greater than them, even if they wanted to help the Russian Empire, it was useless.

At the suggestion of the Belgian ambassador, Orlov went to find the ambassador of the United States of America.

The ambassador of the United States of America also made a perfunctory statement, and told Orlov that the United States had no ability to meddle in the disputes of old Europe.

The successive touches made Count Orlov realize that the Russian Empire seemed to have been isolated from the world.

When Orlov once again found Count Bauer to restart the interrupted meeting, Count Bauer resolutely agreed to Orlov's request.

The four-party talks began again on April 15.

This meeting will truly decide the fate of the Russian Empire.
