Chapter 376： Reckless Menshkov
"I will never shake hands with anyone who hates the Russian Empire!"
As soon as this remark came out, a gap immediately appeared in the welcoming ceremony, which was a good one. Fuad Ediffen, the foreign minister who was the party involved, shrank his hand back even more embarrassingly.
Menshkov wanted to use this move to swear to every Ottoman high gate present, even in the Sultan's court, any high gate minister who hated the Russian Empire would be humiliated and punished by the Russian Empire.
After the goal was achieved, Menshkov didn't care about what Fuad Effendi thought. At the foot of the 10-meter steps, he stopped and bowed to Abdul Mejid I, who was on the throne of the steps, and said, "On behalf of His Majesty the Russian Emperor Nicholas I, I would like to extend my most sincere thanks to you, His Majesty the Great Sultan. Greetings!"
Abdul Mejid I looked at Menshkov on the steps, his heart was full of humiliation and anger.
In Majid I's view, Menshkov's remarks just now were not aimed at his foreign minister, but were aimed at Sang Huai and insulting himself.
As the king of a country, he has endured humiliation, and now he can't wait to order his "loyal" subordinates to pull Menshkov directly out of the steps and cut him.
Reason told Majd I that if he did, war between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire would break out the next day.
The Ottoman Empire was simply not ready for war.
Therefore, Majid I could only suppress his anger and smiled at the Menshkov envoy under the steps: "I am very happy that my monarch brother Nikolai can remember me!"
"That's natural! Our Majesty misses you all the time!" Menshkov increased his voice, as if he meant something.
The high-level officials present had unnatural expressions on their faces. Menshkov's words were extremely offensive. They were really afraid that their Majesty would do something impulsive.
Fortunately, Mejid I still did not lose his mind because of Menshkov's words, and he kept telling himself to be lenient in his heart.
"Please take me to thank Nikolai!" Maijid I responded to Menshkov, holding back his anger.
"I will tell the truth!" Menshkov, whose provocation plan failed, could only find another way.
Next, Mejid I introduced important figures of the Ottoman Principality to Menshkov, including Prime Minister (shrinked version of Grand Vizia) Muhammad Ali, Admiral Mahmoud, and Selask (commander-in-chief of the army). Reza Pasha, and ministers of foreign affairs, interior affairs, and industry.
Menshkov still put on an arrogant gesture to greet these high-ranking government officials in front of him.
Menshkov's arrogant actions directly offended everyone present, and even close Russian factions scolded Menshkov for his stupidity.
This welcoming ceremony made all high-level officials recognize Menshkov's attitude, and also recognized the attitude of the Russian Empire behind Menshkov.
After the welcoming ceremony, the only members of the pro-Russian faction in the court were also turned into anti-Russian members by Menshkov’s co-operation.
Menshkov, who knows nothing about the comparison, is still immersed in his diplomatic "victory".
In Menshkov's view, the Ottoman Empire has completely surrendered to the control of the Russian Empire from top to bottom, and all he has to do now is to pick the fruits of victory.
After the welcoming ceremony, Menshkov made a report on the attitude of the Ottoman Empire at the welcoming ceremony, and the report was sent to St. Petersburg in the form of a document in the early morning of the next day from Constantinople.
For the next few days, Menshkov quietly waited for the Tsar's reply.
Within a week and a half, Menshkov received a personal letter from Nicholas I.
Credit Nicholas I applauded Menshkov for bruising the Ottoman Empire, and told Menshkov that he could put pressure on the Ottoman Empire with confidence, and he would persuade the Kingdom of Britain to agree to join forces with the Russian Empire to maintain it as soon as possible. Peace in the Near East.
After reading the letter, Menshkov felt that he had been affirmed by His Majesty the Tsar, and he couldn't help but work harder.
On March 25, the special envoy of the Russian Empire, Menshkov, went to the residence of Prime Minister Muhammad Ali.
This time the prime minister did not stay in a certain room to meet Menshkov like the previous two times, but sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor and chatted with Menshkov.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we hope that your country can replace a reasonable foreign minister in the next negotiation, and don't let some unqualified guys sit in that position, which will damage the friendship between our two countries!" Sitting on Mohammed. Menshkov, opposite Ali, spoke directly to Muhammad Ali.
After hesitating for a moment, Muhammad Ali spread his hands pretending to be distressed and said, "Your Excellency Special Envoy, according to what I understand, Minister Fuad did not do anything out of the ordinary. arrive!"
"Fuad Ediffen hates the Russian Empire, which is friendly to the Ottoman Empire. Isn't this reason enough?" Menshkov was obviously unwilling to reason with Muhammad Ali, and he snorted coldly.
"Your Excellency Menshkov, we must at least have a suitable reason! Such a reason is too far-fetched!" Muhammad Ali asked Menshkov again in a negotiating tone.
"No! Minister Fuad must be dismissed!" Menshkov continued to maintain a tough stance.
After some tugging, Muhammad Ali photographed the strength of the Russian Empire behind Menshkov and his own toughness reluctantly agreed to Menshkov's request to report Fuad Effendi.
"After Fuad's dismissal, who will be the foreign minister?" Muhammad Ali asked Menshkov again.
"This is your problem!" Menshkov said to Muhammad Ali.
In terms of his knowledge of Ottoman officials, Menshkov was far inferior to Muhammad Ali.
"How about Rifat Pasha?" Muhammad Ali suggested a candidate.
"You can figure it out!" Menshkov responded indifferently, and then added: "However, before he takes office, he must be interviewed by the interpreter I selected!"
"Of course there is no problem with this!" Muhammad Ali readily agreed to Menshkov's request.
"I don't have any other requirements yet! If there are, I will come back here!"
After speaking, Menshkov got up and left.
Muhammad Ali also got up and sent Menshkov out of the house.
Muhammad Ali, who watched Menshkov leave his back, immediately turned from sunny to gloomy.
"What a complete bastard!" Muhammad Ali couldn't help cursing.
Muhammad Ali, who has been in politics for decades, has never seen a guy like Menshkov, and the two diplomats were completely trampled under his feet.
Muhammad Ali, who finally calmed down, called his housekeeper of Greek descent, and he gave the housekeeper an order to invite Fuad Effendi.
The housekeeper nodded and left the apartment. After about half an hour, Fuad Eddie appeared in the living room.
Muhammad Ali apologised for not keeping Fuad Effendi's place.
"It's nothing!" Fuad Effendi, who had long expected this ending, faced it with an open-minded attitude, and he said nonchalantly: "I have almost understood myself since the Russian Empire announced its march towards the Danube Principality. The end! The most important thing now is to win over France, only in this way can it compete with the Russian Empire."
"Don't worry! I understand!" Muhammad Ali nodded to show his understanding.
After Fuad Effendi left, Muhammad Ali called Rifat Pasha, who was about to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
"Why me?" Rifat Pasha stared at Muhammad Ali in confusion. Now this foreign minister can't be worthy of being a foreign minister. If he is not careful, he will be called a traitor.
"Menshkov needs someone who is inclined to Russia to be the minister in this position, and you are the most suitable person!" Muhammad Ali euphemistically said to the former "pro-Russian" person in front of him.
"But now I..." Rifat Pasha wanted to clarify his current political orientation, Muhammad Ali immediately interrupted: "I don't care what political orientation you are now, you must buy the last time for the Ottoman Empire! The Empire needs you!"
Muhammad Ali's words successfully blocked everything Rifat wanted to say in his throat.
After a while, UU Reading Rifat Pasha said again: "Speak! Let me delay until when!"
A smile appeared on Muhammad Pasha's face again. He stretched out five fingers and said to Rifat Pasha: "You just need to delay until May, and leave the rest to me!"
"Okay!" Rifat Pasha nodded in response.
On March 25, Fuad Effendi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Ottoman Empire, was incapable of doing his job due to physical problems. Now, after discussion with the Cabinet of the Ottoman Grand Council, it was decided to remove Fuad Effendi from his post. Pasha succeeds his Fuad Ediffen.
When Menshkov received the news of Rifat Pasha's replacement as foreign minister, he immediately pulled the interpreter in the embassy to find Rifat Pasha to discuss the treaty.
After hearing from Muhammad Ali that Rifat Pasha was on a mission to Bulgaria, Menshkov could only bring the interpreter back to the embassy.
Fuad Effendi, who was reported by Muhammad Ali, was also not idle either, and he did not have to care about any diplomatic influence. Provide limited support to the Ottoman Empire.
As soon as this remark came out, a gap immediately appeared in the welcoming ceremony, which was a good one. Fuad Ediffen, the foreign minister who was the party involved, shrank his hand back even more embarrassingly.
