Chapter 636： plan peace
"Nothing happened in St. Petersburg, but something happened in Crimea!"
The words of Crown Prince Alexander aroused Gorchakov's curiosity. As the commander-in-chief of Crimea, he did not find any abnormal behavior.
"His Royal Highness, what happened in Crimea?" Gorchakov asked suspiciously.
"You haven't heard anything in the Crimea for six days?" Alexander II responded in confusion.
"No!" Gorchakov shook his head in response.
As the commander-in-chief of the Crimean Peninsula, he didn't even know what happened in his jurisdiction. It was a bit of a dereliction of duty.
"According to The Times, the French Emperor Jerome Bonaparte has recently arrived in Sevastopol!" Alexander II told Gorchakov.
[ps: During the Crimean War, all military operations of the Russian Empire were formulated based on the information revealed by the inner ghost The Times.
Sometimes the Times gets news from the front faster than the Cabinet!
However, after Jerome Bonaparte arrived, he, as a monarch, issued an order to Marshal Raglan to shut up The Times. A pig teammate was far more harmful than ten **** opponents.
Marshal Raglan, who had been unhappy with The Times for a long time, followed Jerome Bonaparte's order and imposed restrictions on The Times to a certain extent.
Nicholas I read from The Times about the arrival of Jerome Bonaparte in Sevastopol, just before Jerome Bonaparte restricted the Times. 】
"What?!" Gorchakov's eyes widened in surprise, "The Emperor of France has arrived in Sevastopol?!!"
"That's right! That's why I'm the special envoy this time!" Crown Prince Alexander II nodded to Gorchakov, and then added: "Originally, His Majesty the Emperor was going to come here in person, with Jerome Powell. Naparte battle! I told Your Majesty that Napoleon III was nothing more than a usurper (Emperor-Roman King-Jerome Bonaparte), and he did not need him to come in person, so His Majesty ordered me to go to Kerry instead of him Mia."
"His Royal Highness, if the French Emperor is really in Sevastopol, will the Ministry of War (Nicholas I) agree to our request to suspend the attack?" Gorchakov asked Crown Prince Alexander.
Alexander II was silent. If the Times report was true, then the Russian Empire's plan to suspend the offensive would most likely not be approved by his father.
"Definitely!" Although Alexander II knew in his heart that this plan would be difficult to pass, he still had a calm and confident expression on his face.
"That's great!" Gorchakov also didn't believe that the emperor would give them time to rest, but he was also unwilling to expose the lie.
Then Alexander II asked tactfully what Gorchakov thought of the war.
Gorchakov also euphemistically expressed to Alexander II that this war was a wrong war at the wrong time and in the wrong place.
The Russian Empire, which was supposed to rely on its vast land for resistance, now has to assemble its troops in Sevastopol to fight an asymmetrical war with the coalition.
Sevastopol is now like a magnet, attracting all the mobile forces on the southern front of the Russian Empire.
To make matters worse, their military logistics is far less than that of the coalition forces relying on sea transportation, and they are simply using the shortcomings of the Russian Empire to confront the strengths of Britain and France.
"Commander Gorchakov, have you thought about it. In what way should we end this war?" Alexander II asked Gorchakov.
"His Royal Highness, there are two ways to end the war! The first is that the Russian Empire's army is victorious, and the second is that the Russian Empire is defeated!" Commander Gorchakov said to Alexander II: "I believe we will win, but the victory may not be in Crimea!"
"Then have you thought of a third way!" Alexander II said to Gorchakov.
"Your Highness, what is the third type?" Gorchakov asked subconsciously.
"After the Russian Empire and the French Empire are both exhausted, shake hands and make peace!" Alexander II said to Gorchakov in a low voice: "As long as the French Empire chooses to withdraw from the war, then the Kingdom of Britain alone is powerless to target us!"
"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid it will take a long time! The morale of the French Empire is still high!" Gorchakov replied to Alexander II.
"I know!" Alexander II nodded, and then turned to Gorchakov: "But we must leave a channel for negotiation in advance. As long as this channel is opened, then we can always All can end the war!"
After listening to Alexander II's words, Gorchakov's heartbeat could not help speeding up by two beats.
He can be sure that this action of His Highness the Crown Prince is definitely carried out behind His Majesty's back, and His Majesty Emperor Nicholas will not have the idea of making peace so soon.
"Commander Gorchakov, are you willing to help me!" Crown Prince Alexander asked Gorchakov sincerely.
"His Royal Highness, I know what to do!" Gorchakov nodded and responded to Crown Prince Alexander, "I happen to have a candidate here! If you agree, I can let him go to Sevastopol on your behalf Confess to the Emperor of France!"
"Can I trust him completely?" Alexander II asked cautiously: "You should know what the consequences of this plan are!"
"Your Majesty, he is my nephew and a thoughtful man! You can trust him with confidence!" Gorchakov assured Alexander II.
"If that's the case, then try it!"
…
After a short conversation, Alexander II, Gorchakov, Yomini and their men left the hotel on horseback and went to the Perekop Fortress.
When Alexander II arrived at the Perekop Fortress, Gorchakov immediately summoned his adjutants (more than one adjutant) and staff to the office to give them a brief meeting and introduce them to Alexander II and Jomini!
"From now on, Crown Prince Alexander and Marshal Jomini will be part of our army! I hope you can maintain a respectful attitude towards them, can you hear me clearly?" Gorchakov introduced them to Alexander II and Jomini. Marshal Mini.
"Yes!" The adjutant and the staff responded in unison to Gorchakov.
"Major Ivanov!" Gorchakov named Ivanov Gorchakov's staff member
"Yes!" Ivanov Gorchakov took a step forward and responded loudly.
"After the military meeting is over, it is up to you to arrange a resting place for His Royal Highness and His Excellency the Marshal!" Gorchakov gave an order to Ivanov Gorchakov.
None of the people present did not envy Ivanov Gorchakov. The current crown prince is the future emperor.
The current emperor, Nicholas I, is in his 60s, and the crown prince can succeed him in no more than ten years at most.
The closer you are to the future emperor, the guarantee that you will be one step ahead on the promotion road of Ye Lai.
"Yes!" Ivanov Gorchakov also showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. In his heart, he was only grateful to his distant uncle.
Gorchakov, who explained the task, glanced at his pocket watch. He raised his head and said to everyone present: "Okay! Everyone, we should go!"
The Crown Prince and his party left Gorchakov's office and went to the military camp near the fortress, where they introduced Alexander II and Jomini to the commanders and division commanders of the army stationed near the fortress.
After turning around all the surrounding military camps, the time has quietly come to dusk. Under the leadership of Ivanov Gorchakov, Alexander II and Jomini entered the room prepared for them.
"His Royal Highness, Your Excellency Marshal, if there is nothing else, I will leave first!" Ivanov Gorchakov said to Alexander II and Jomini, and then turned to leave?
"Wait a minute!" Alexander II stopped Ivanov Gorchakov.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?" Ivanov Gorchakov asked Alexander II.
"Gorchakov introduced you to me! He said you are a trustworthy person!" Alexander II asked Ivanov Gorchakov with a serious expression: "Although I believe Gorchakov Commander Kov's judgment, but I still want to use you! Major Ivanov, I can trust you!"
Looking at the posture in front of him, Ivanov Gorchakov instantly understood that he seemed to be tricked by his uncle... No, it couldn't be called a trick.
After all, many people want this opportunity but can't get it.
Although Ivanov Gorchakov did not know what task Alexander II was going to give him, he knew that this was his chance.
If he can grasp it, then he will have the opportunity to soar!
"His Royal Highness, I promise you with Gorchakov's surname, you can completely trust me!" Ivanov Gorchakov answered meticulously.
"Very good!" A smile appeared on Alexander II's face, "I can assure you that your ability and loyalty will be rewarded with it!"
Ivanov Gorchakov immediately woke up to Alexander II with a military salute, and said in a sonorous tone, "I am willing to serve you!"
"Your mission is to go to the Sevastopol camp to get in touch with the Emperor of the French Empire!" Alexander II gave an order to Ivanov Gorchakov, "Because this is a classified mission, you Can't tell anyone. In a few days, I will send an embassy to Sevastopol! At that time, you will also be placed in the embassy to Sevastopol to meet the Emperor of France!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ivanov Gorchakov replied.
