(Chapter 1 arrives, there will be chapter 1 later)
The southern part of Przemysl is a forest, and the place where Xiao Jie met with Alexander and Francis I was also chosen here. As the host of this meeting, the Austrian side has arranged the place here a long time ago. In the open space by the forest, several long tables were placed with various foods and fruits on them. Next to it is a newly built gazebo. The Austrian side also arranged some other programs for this meeting, such as hunting and the like. Although this forest is not big, there are still some animals such as hares and deer in it. Of course, no one would really put their minds on hunting. They just used this as an excuse to discuss some shady things.
On May 14, Xiao Jie and his party crossed the San River by boat and came to the edge of the forest outside Przemysl. At this time, people from the Austrian and Russian sides had arrived. Seeing Xiao Jie and the others arrived, Francis I and Alexander warmly greeted them.
"Your Majesty Andresi, I'm so glad to see you." As the organizer of the event, Francis I greeted first.
"You're too polite, and it's very easy for me to meet you." Xiao Jie responded politely. Although he didn't want to deal with these hypocritical people, basic etiquette is still necessary.
"Your Majesty Andresi, this should be our third meeting, right?" Alexander also smiled enthusiastically.
"Yes, I'm glad His Majesty the Tsar still remembers these." Xiao Jie replied. Seeing Alexander again, Xiao Jie was a little puzzled, because in history Alexander died in 1825, or he was tired of the world and passed the throne to his younger brother, but he didn't expect that it was already 1826 Years later, Alexander still controls the full power of Russia. However, information from Moscow said that Alexander had consciously allowed his younger brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas, to participate in the decision-making of major state affairs. Perhaps he was preparing for his retirement.
"Your Majesty Andresi, please allow me to introduce you, my younger brother, who is also the heir to the Russian throne, Grand Duke Nicholas." Alexander enthusiastically introduced the tall middle-aged man to Xiao Jie.
"It's a great honor to meet you." Grand Duke Nicholas greeted Xiao Jie.
Xiao Jie also warmly returned the gift, and then looked at Grand Duke Nicholas. He knew that this person had ruled Russia for thirty years in history. Grand Duke Nicholas was the third son of Pavel I. Because Alexander had no male heirs, and Alexander's second brother, Grand Duke Constantine, gave up the right to inherit the throne, Nicholas became the heir to the Russian throne. It is said that Alexander did not love beautiful women, but was only obsessed with his own sister, Princess Ekaterina. Princess Ekaterina is Alexander's eldest sister. The two are about the same age. They grew up together since they were young. The years of getting along day and night actually gave them a relationship beyond brother and sister. When Alexander's marriage was in name only, the relationship between the brother and sister reached its peak. They often sat alone, talking through the night, sometimes overly intimate. Of course, these are royal secrets, and it is impossible for Xiao Jie to verify them.
Later, Francis I proposed to go hunting, but Xiao Jie refused because his marksmanship was really shameful. If it's one of our own, that's okay, and I'm not afraid of embarrassment. But facing the emperors of other countries is different. This is completely in the dark for France.
For Xiao Jie's refusal, Francis I was a little disappointed, so the three came to the gazebo and started chatting.
"I don't think there is much enmity among the three countries. There is no need to fight to the death. This will only cause us to lose our strength in vain. The world is so big, we can definitely expand other living spaces." Francis I was spitting and explaining. Everyone understands what he means. It is nothing more than that there is no need for war between France, Russia, and Austria, and they can coexist peacefully. Of course, this is because Austria is now at a complete disadvantage, and Francis I will do this. If they are in the upper hand, then he would never say these words anyway. After all, now that France is so powerful, he has to bow his head.
"That's right, we in Russia think so too." Alexander agreed. Russia's sphere of influence is in Eastern Europe and Asia, and there is no conflict with France for the time being. So Alexander didn't want to fight France to the death.
"Of course, everything is caused by the despicable British. Otherwise, how could we in Austria attack France? My daughter Louise is the queen of the French Empire." Francis I quickly made his position clear and put the war on All the blame was placed on the British.
Alexander also quickly expressed his position, saying that Russia's strategic focus is all on Eastern Europe and Asia. If it hadn't been for Britain's instigation, it would be impossible for them to send troops to intervene in Western Europe.
"That's why the British are the root of the disaster in Europe. Without their instigation, Europe will surely achieve peace. In order to punish the British for small and unforgivable crimes, our army is already preparing to land in the UK and completely wipe out This is the source of the European war." Xiao Jie said with a righteous face. Maybe it's because he has been the emperor for a long time, even he himself feels that he is getting more and more shameless, and he doesn't even blush when he opens his eyes and tells nonsense.
"Yes, it's time to teach the despicable British a lesson." Francis I and Alexander both agreed. It's just that only they themselves know what the demise of Britain means to them. Peace? That's just bullshit. Both of them knew very well that after France finished dealing with Britain, it would be their turn.
"Your Majesty Andresi, we, Russia, also request to participate in this action to punish Britain." Alexander suddenly proposed. Of course, he will not naively send the main force to help France attack Britain. The reason why he proposed this is because he wants to gain some benefits in Britain. After all, Britain has been across the ocean for hundreds of years. How amazing! France eats meat, no matter what, we should let Russia drink soup.
"That's right, Your Majesty Andresi, Austria also requested to participate in this action to punish Britain." Francis I also understood what Alexander was thinking at once, but Britain still owed them a lot of military expenses? He is not greedy, as long as he can get back the military expenses.
Xiao Jie was also very clear about what they were thinking, but he never had the habit of spitting out what he ate. Although Britain has not yet been occupied by France, Xiao Jie has already included Britain in the French occupation, so the wealth of Britain will naturally become the spoils of war for France. Of course, Xiao Jie, who has always kept money, would not agree with Austria and Russia. meddling in British affairs. "Thank you very much for your kindness, but our country has already made full preparations, so we don't need to bother the two countries." Xiao Jie politely refused.
"Your Majesty Andresi, how can you say that? Both Austria and Russia have suffered heavy losses under the instigation of the United Kingdom. Of course, we should take a good shot and punish it. Otherwise, how can we express the anger in my heart? ?” Francis I asked seriously.
Seeing their insistence, Xiao Jie could not refuse anymore, but the UK is not like other countries in Europe, it is blocked by the sea and the English Channel, and without a decent navy, it is impossible to land in the UK. Both Austria and Russia are land powers. Because Austria has a short coastline and no good ports, the development of the navy has also been severely restricted. Now there are more than 10 old-fashioned gunboats in front of it, and there are very few merchant ships. With this With their strength, they will naturally be unable to send troops to land in the UK. Russia, on the other hand, intends to develop its navy, but due to the lack of a year-round ice-free port, the navy is also very restricted. It can only wander around the Baltic Sea. If it wants to sail to the Atlantic Ocean and land in the UK, this is indeed a very serious problem.
"Since the two of you are so persistent, then I won't refuse anymore~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xiao Jie said with a wicked smile.
"That's great, we'll order the army to start preparations immediately." The two were overjoyed when they heard Xiao Jie agreed to their request.
"However, one thing I need to remind you is that to send troops to punish Britain, it needs to land in Britain, which requires a large number of warships and transport ships. I think it is too late for the two countries to prepare now. Our country has already prepared It's almost done." Xiao Jie said with some 'helplessness'.
The faces of Francis I and Alexander sank instantly. They should have thought that Xiao Jie would not agree to their request so easily, and by agreeing to them just now, he was just playing tricks on them. Seeing the constant changes in the faces of the two, Xiao Jie blushed, it was because he had to hold back his laughter. After all, it is very impolite to laugh at the emperor of another country.
"Then, Your Majesty Andresi, your country's navy is powerful. Even the British Royal Navy, which was once the world's number one, is no match for your country's navy. I wonder if we can lease some of your country's warships and merchant ships?" Alexander asked.
"I'm afraid this won't work. Our fleet and merchant fleet are all engaged in preparations for war. Now there are no ships to rent to the two of you. I'm really sorry." Xiao Jie rejected Alexander's request without hesitation.
