Chapter 690： Beginning of negotiations
Alexander II's doubts turned to doubts, but he agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's request to hold negotiations in Yalta for the sake of the overall situation.
After confirming the negotiation location, the two sides, Russia and France, began to negotiate the date and time of the negotiation.
In terms of the negotiation date, the Russian Empire still adheres to the concept of a quick solution and hopes to negotiate with the French Empire as soon as possible.
The French side obviously did not intend to make a quick decision. Under the instruction of Jerome Bonaparte, the French side first set the date on December 2 (the Russian Empire expressed firm opposition), and then set the date on December 2. Late November (the Russian Empire still disagrees).
After several days of negotiation, it was finally decided to hold the first bilateral talks on November 15th.
The Russian Empire and the French Empire began to carry out the preparatory work in full swing.
During the preparations for the negotiation, the light snow on the Crimean Peninsula kept falling on and off. Under the intermittent snow, Crimea was placed in a white world.
Time passed by as the snow fell, and the negotiation period soon arrived. The afternoon before the negotiation, Jerome Bonaparte and Wallevsky had already led a regiment of soldiers stationed in Yalta, so that the second day of negotiations.
Early the next morning, Jerome Bonaparte got up early from the warm kang and looked at the falling snowflakes outside the window. He hurriedly put on his padded jacket again, and then walked out of the room and went to the dining hall to eat.
When Jerome Bonaparte arrived in the cafeteria, he found Wallevsky, who had already been eating in the cafeteria.
Seeing this, Jerome Bonaparte walked slowly to Wallevsky's side.
After a while, a steaming bowl of shredded pork porridge was placed in front of Jerome Bonaparte.
Just as Jerome Bonaparte began to eat, an officer in military uniform appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte and reported to Jerome Bonaparte the arrival of the negotiators of the Russian Empire. information.
"So soon?" Jerome Bonaparte had a look of surprise on his face, and he had to put down the idea of eating and get up and leave the cafeteria.
Wallevsky on the side also followed Jerome Bonaparte away.
When Jerome Bonaparte, Wallevsky and their entourage arrived at the gate of Yalta, he saw Alexander II on horseback and the members of the embassy behind him.
After seeing Jerome Bonaparte, Alexander II quickly gave the order to the envoy behind him: "Dismount!"
Nesherroddy, Gorchakov, and other members of the embassy dismounted at the command of Alexander II.
Immediately afterwards, Alexander II, who was leading the horse, came to Jerome Bonaparte's side and shook hands with Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, we meet again!"
"Yeah! Alexander!" Jerome Bonaparte glanced at Alexander and found that he seemed to be thinner than half a month ago. He couldn't help but say with emotion: "It's only been half a month, why are you so thin? So much!"
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Alexander II's mouth. If he wasn't too sad, how could this happen to him.
However, in front of Jerome Bonaparte, of course Alexander II couldn't say this, he could only tell Jerome Bonaparte that he was on a diet recently.
"Alexander, dieting is not good for your health!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Alexander II "hard-heartedly": "When we are young, we must cherish our bodies! How can we do it without eating?"
Jerome Bonaparte paused, as if remembering something, "By the way, you haven't eaten yet!"
Alexander II shook his head. The distance between Bakhchisaray and Yalta was about 30-40 kilometers. How could they have eaten at this time (8:00)!
"I just happen to have not eaten yet! Come and eat with me!" Jerome Bonaparte invited Alexander II to say.
"This..." Alexander II hesitated for a moment, then refused: "We think we should get to the point as soon as possible!"
"Negotiation doesn't care whether it's earlier or later! The most important person has a full stomach, and only a full stomach can have the strength to negotiate! If you can't fill your stomach, you can't do anything!" Jerome Bonaparte made a pun to Alexander II.
Alexander II glanced at Nescher Rodie and Gorchakov behind him, then turned his head and nodded in agreement with Jerome Bonaparte.
On the way to the cafeteria, Alexander II introduced to Jerome Bonaparte Nescher Rodie and Gorchakov who were the negotiators this time.
"You are Gorchakov?" Jerome Bonaparte looked curiously at the half-bald old man with round-rimmed glasses.
To be honest, he was accustomed to the rule that a diplomat must have a good skin (this is also the rule of the 19th century), and he really couldn't put the half-bald old man on the same "future" as the foreign minister who led the rise of the Russian Empire. .
After all, Bismarck, who was at the same time as him, was considered to be relatively handsome.
And Richard Metternich inherited part of the appearance of his father, Prince Metternich, which can be said to be a killer in the European social circle.
"That's right, Your Majesty!" Ambassador Gorchakov bowed slightly. He didn't understand why Jerome Bonaparte looked at him with a hint of disappointment. Could it be that he did something wrong? ?
"Mr. Gorchakov, what is your current position?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Gorchakov again.
"By the grace of His Majesty Nicholas, I have been appointed as the ambassador of the Russian Empire to Austria!" Gorchakov responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a solemn expression.
"Then you're not interested in jumping jobs!" Jerome Bonaparte tried to poach the ground in front of Alexander II: "As long as you are willing to come to France, I promise to appoint you as the French foreign minister immediately!"
Jerome Bonaparte's naked digging behavior not only made Alexander II feel a little embarrassed, (after all, Jerome Bonaparte was able to give Gorchakov such generous conditions, which is enough to prove Gorchako The value of the husband himself, but they (the Russian Empire) have always made him the ambassador to Austria, which is really a shame), and even Warevsky is also a little embarrassed (Valevsky himself, the foreign minister himself Jerome Bonaparte has given a Russian such favorable conditions before he has settled down for a few days, isn't he just saying that he is far inferior to Gorchakov in disguise!)
Of course, Gorchakov is the least likely to come down to the stage.
He really did not expect that Jerome Bonaparte would dig a foothold in the public eye. Although it was a common thing to say that it was a common thing to switch jobs between countries to serve as ministers, how could such a thing be put on the table?
The best solution is that the monarch invites quietly, and then the inviter refuses, or goes.
In this case, both sides are left face.
Jerome Bonaparte's blatant digging is obviously putting the unspoken rules of digging on the surface, and it's not easy for him to refuse directly.
If the monarch in front of him who did not play cards according to the routine is not happy because of his own remarks, the peace talks will have to fall through.
Gorchakov cannot afford to be charged with sabotaging the peace talks.
After thinking for a moment, Gorchakov responded without being humble or arrogant: "Thank you for your grace to me! However, my talent is not enough, I'm afraid I can't help you with all my heart! I hope you forgive me!"
Hearing Gorchakov's words, Jerome Bonaparte sighed, with a cold and sad expression on his face: "Mr. Gorchakov, I understand what you mean! If you feel that you Unhappy in the Russian Empire, I'm always welcome here!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gorchakov hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte and the others stepped into the cafeteria again.
At this time, a bowl of shredded pork porridge and a few pieces of brown bread had already been placed on the dining room table. com Jerome Bonaparte showed an apologetic smile and said to everyone present: "Because the time is too rushed, I only prepared these! Please forgive me!"
Alexander II immediately said that it is very good to be able to eat these!
Immediately afterwards, Alexander II and others sat down one by one under the arrangement of Jerome Bonaparte.
The already hungry crowd wiped out the shredded meat porridge and black bread like a cloud in the wind. Let's talk!"
"Alright!" Alexander II nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
As the protagonists of the negotiation, Nescherlodie and Wallevsky officially started negotiations, and Nescherlodie first introduced himself: "I'm Nescherlodie, and I'm here to join you at the order of His Majesty the Tsar. This is my assistant Gorchakov!"
"I am Valevsky, and I was ordered by His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte to communicate with the Russian Empire!" Valevsky said with a serious face, and then ordered the entourage in the cafeteria to hand over documents to Nesselroddie: "This is the condition we have put forward at this stage, please take a look!"
Nesherrode read the document carefully, and after reading it one by one, handed it over to Gorchakov.
After a while, Gorchakov also saw the entire contents of the file.
This time the document has not changed much from the one he handed to Nicholas I, except that in the third article amending the Black Sea Treaty, there are some additional clauses (limiting the number of Russian imperial navies, dismantling the Kerry All military installations on the Mia Peninsula)
"Forgive our unacceptable, your harsh conditions! You are not negotiating peace, but treating us as a defeated country!"
After confirming the negotiation location, the two sides, Russia and France, began to negotiate the date and time of the negotiation.
In terms of the negotiation date, the Russian Empire still adheres to the concept of a quick solution and hopes to negotiate with the French Empire as soon as possible.
