Make France Great Again

Chapter 907 Peace for one generation

Two consecutive rounds of successful negotiations gave Ambassador Cowley a feeling of elation.

However, before Ambassador Cowley could be happy for a while, Farrokh, who was sitting opposite him, spoke in Persian: "Ambassador Cowley, how can we discuss our conditions?"

The translator sitting next to Farroh quickly translated Farroh's Persian words into French and spoke them to Ambassador Cowley.

Ambassador Cowley smiled and extended his hand to Special Envoy Farroh in English and responded: "Of course! I'm all ears!"

Special Envoy Farroh cleared his throat and responded to Ambassador Cowley: "Since we have agreed to two conditions of your country, our country also hopes that your country will agree to some conditions!"

After the translator translated Farroch's words to Ambassador Cowley, Ambassador Cowley said calmly: "As long as the conditions you propose are reasonable enough, then I am willing to agree to your conditions on behalf of the Kingdom of Britain!"

"Okay!" Special Envoy Farroh raised a finger and said to Ambassador Lao Li: "We hope that your country can evacuate all ports, regions and islands in our country after the signing of the treaty."

Later, Special Envoy Farroh emphasized: "I said everything!"

Ambassador Cowley certainly understood what Farroch meant by all that.

It is nothing more than the issue of the ownership of the city of Mohammed. You must know that the Ottoman Empire has always been interested in this delta of the Euphrates River and the only regularly navigable seaport for the Turks on the Euphrates River (because the port of Basra has a certain capacity during certain times of the year. (too small for a large ship), never gave up on his demands.

Long before Ambassador Cowley came to France, Prime Minister Palmerston specifically talked to him about the city of Mohammed. At that time, Palmerston told Cowley that if the Kingdom of Qajar did not specifically explain the ownership of Mohammed City, If so, then ask Ambassador Cowley to formalize the issue of the ownership of Mohammed City.

Only in this way can Britain claim the city as its own on the pretext that the city of Mohammed is neither affiliated with the Ottomans nor the Kingdom of Persia.

"Britain can guarantee that after the treaty is signed, it will withdraw from the ports, areas and islands of the Kingdom of Persia, and return the Qajar Dynasty to a complete territory without disputes!" Ambassador Cowley tried to use diplomatic traps to make the issue of Mohammed City a lake.

After all, Mohammed City is not a territory without disputes. The Ottoman Empire next door has always had disputes with Persia.

Unfortunately, Farroh did not fall into Ambassador Cowley's language trap. He asked specifically: "That includes Mohammed City, right?"

Ambassador Cowley showed a hesitant look on his face. Upon seeing this, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately said: "Ambassador Cowley, since the Kingdom of Britain wants to conclude a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Qajar, it should not invade other countries' territories. .

No country will engage in peace talks knowing that its territory is being invaded! "

"That's right!" Ambassador Farroh said firmly to Ambassador Cowley, "The reason why we are willing to give up our sovereignty in parts of Afghanistan and Herat is to maintain peace and stability in the entire Central Asia region!

If the Kingdom of Britain is not even willing to agree to return Mohammed City to us, then I have every reason to suspect that the Kingdom of Britain does not want to engage in peace talks at all! "

"Mr. Ambassador Cowley, what exactly do you want to do? Are you really prepared to see the negotiations break down?" Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting on the throne, also patted the armrest and said sternly to Ambassador Cowley.

Ambassador Cowley knew that Jerome Bonaparte was helping Persia put pressure on him, forcing him to clarify the ownership of Mohammed City.

The reason why Jerome Bonaparte was willing to help Persia put pressure on him was probably because he received some benefits from the Kingdom of Qajar.

However, Ambassador Cowley himself was unwilling to cause the negotiations to break down just because of this.

After all, the negotiations also involve France.

If he insists on going his own way and the negotiations break down, then the Kingdom of Britain will definitely make the French Empire lose face.

The relationship between Britain and France may face twists and turns.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ambassador Cowley sighed and said to Farroch: "My troops will withdraw from the territory of the Persians, including the city of Mohammed."

"Thank you very much!" Farroh expressed his thanks politely, and then continued: "My second condition is that if one day our country is actively invaded by any region/country in Herat or Afghanistan, our army will We have the right to suppress the invaders!"

After hearing what Farroch said, Cowley suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of immediacy. After thinking carefully for a moment, Ambassador Cowley realized that this condition was not the second repetition of the 1853 clause.

However, three days after signing the terms, Kaijia Wangolin unilaterally tore up the terms.

"I hope to add another sentence at the end!" Ambassador Cowley said to Ambassador Farroch.

After a while, Ambassador Farroh asked: "What to add?"

“The Persian government has the right to attack countries that invade them, but after completing its mission, it must return to its homeland as soon as possible!

No occupation for the purpose of aggression! Ambassador Cowley said as he looked at Jerome Bonaparte on the throne, "I'm right!" Your Majesty the Emperor! "

Damn it, isn’t that what I just said?

Jérôme Bonaparte in his seat felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

It was not easy for him to refute Ambassador Cowley at the moment. After all, Jérôme Bonaparte had just said these words not long ago, and even if he had forgotten, he would not have forgotten them all so quickly.

[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple. 】

Unless Jérôme Bonaparte announces in public that he is a fish and has only seven seconds of memory.

"Of course!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Ambassador Cowley with a smile on his face.

Ambassador Cowley looked at Ambassador Farroh with a smile, and Ambassador Farroh also said: "On behalf of the Kingdom of Qajar, I agree to your request!"

"That's great!" Ambassador Cowley said to Ambassador Farroch, "Our two countries are one step closer to peace!"

Ever since, Ambassador Cowley put forward his third condition.

That is to say, the Kingdom of Britain hopes to re-establish its embassy in Tehran. The consul general, consuls, vice consuls and consulate staff in the embassy all enjoy the privileges of the most favored country personnel.

"I promise you!" Ambassador Farroch decisively agreed to Ambassador Lao Li's request, and then put forward his own conditions.

Ambassador Farroch hoped that the British Kingdom would waive its right to protect any Persian subjects who in the future did not actually serve the British envoys or British consuls-general, consuls, vice-consuls and consular clerks (which simply means requiring the British Kingdom to protect lackeys). The following thresholds have been set.

After all, the war was started because the British kingdom was fighting a war to protect the Persians who worked for them. )

"On behalf of the British government, I agree to your conditions!" Ambassador Cowley responded to Ambassador Farroch.

Ambassador Cowley and Ambassador Farroch put forward their respective conditions one by one, and more than two hours passed quickly.

After the negotiations ended, it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Ambassador Cowley and Ambassador Farroch put forward a total of 15 conditions on the issue of Britain and Persia.

Most of the conditions were provided by Britain to the Kingdom of Qajar, and a few of them were required by the Kingdom of Qajar from the Kingdom of Britain.

After the two clerks exchanged their respective conditions, the meeting officially came to a successful conclusion.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting on the throne, also came down from the throne and shook hands with Ambassador Cowley and Farroch, as well as the translators and clerks present.

"From now on, the relationship between Britain and Persia will reach a new level!" Jerome Bonaparte said a nutritious nonsense at the end of the meeting.

Ambassador Cowley left the Tuileries Palace first. He wanted to report the news to London as soon as possible.

Farroch stood in front of Jérôme Bonaparte, held his hand and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, thank you very much for speaking out just now!

I can assure you that the Kingdom of Qajar will never forget everything you have done! "

Faced with Ambassador Farroch's assurance, Jérôme Bonaparte just smiled and did not take it seriously.

After all, there are only naked interests between countries.

Although the Kingdom of Qajar now relies on France to protect its own interests, they can never fall to France.

The Russian Empire is still their first choice, even though the Russian Empire is still in the stage of civil strife.

Here is a piece of news about the Russian Empire's civil war. The Emperor of the Russian Empire Alexander II and his Prime Minister Gorchakov have returned to Moscow.

Although the Second Russian Imperial Government in St. Petersburg was already at a disadvantage on the battlefield, they were still resisting tenaciously.

Especially after some Italian revolutionaries, Hungarian revolutionaries, and Polish revolutionaries (mainly from the Grand Duchy of Posen) joined, the combat effectiveness of the St. Petersburg army has not declined.

Therefore, it was not a simple matter for Alexander II to completely win.

It is expected that the two sides will have to fight for at least two years before they can truly decide the outcome. During this period of the war, wealthy people from St. Petersburg, Moscow and other cities began to flee the Russian Empire one after another.

Among them, more than 5,000 wealthy people from the Russian Empire have taken root in France. The money brought by their consumers from their hometown has added a touch of vitality to the French economy.

The day after the negotiations ended, the front page of the Paris newspapers was the news of peace talks between the British Kingdom and the Qajar Dynasty.

The article revealed between the lines that without the French Empire and Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte, it would have been impossible for the Kingdom of Britain to conclude a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Qaga.

It greatly satisfied the great-power chauvinism of the French people.
