Chapter 274: The distant peace

On the afternoon of November 20, Kompenny took his mission. Since they were visiting several other powerful countries on the European continent, two months were definitely quite urgent, so he had to save time as much as possible. Xiao Jie's mission to Kompenny was difficult, not difficult, and not simple. Xiao Jie's most hoped result was that all countries could recognize Iberia's occupation of the French Kingdom, and agreed to sign a new peace treaty with the French Empire and participate in his crowning ceremony.

The rituals maintain peace between countries in a short period of time. Of course, it is very difficult to achieve such a result, so Xiao Jie demanded that all countries should be silent about Iberian occupation of the França Kingdom. It doesn’t matter whether they come to participate in his coronation ceremony. The most important thing is to delay the outbreak of the war. Now Iberia’s strength has been consumed to restore the French Empire. If the war breaks out, then they will not have the strength to support the war.

On November 27, in just one week, Kompeny rushed to Berlin and submitted a letter of state to the Prussian Foreign Ministry. Kompeny was also very nervous, afraid that Friedrich William III would not meet him, but what surprised him was that on the second day, someone came to inform him that His Majesty the King was approaching him. Kompeny was very happy. He thought that Friedrich William III would definitely agree to negotiate with the French Empire if he summoned him so urgently, so that his mission would be completed.

However, when he arrived at the palace, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought, because in the palace, Friedrich William III summoned him not only. In addition to the Prussian Foreign Minister Earl Claude, there were also Kings of France Louis XVIII and Talleyrand. Originally, Louis XVIII and others planned to go to Britain, but Talleyrand said that Britain and the countries on the European continent had good relations and could not put all their hopes on Britain. So Louis XVIII listened to his suggestion and came to Berlin. "See Your Majesty the King, I only offer you the most sincere respect on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of our country." Pressing all these surprises in my heart, Compenny respectfully saluted Friedrich William III.

"His Majesty the Emperor? Who?" Friedrich William III pretended to be stupid.

"Of course it's His Majesty Andresey. Although the official coronation ceremony will be held in two months, there is nothing wrong with calling him Your Majesty now." Kompeny said calmly.

"I'm afraid this is just his self-proclaimed. In the whole of Europe, no one will admit him. France has no emperor, only king, that is, I, Louis XVIII." roared.

Looking at Louis XVIII with contempt, Compenny said, "King of France? Then why don't you dare to go back to France? In France, what people know about you is just a remnant of the Bourbon royal family."

"You, how dare you insult the great Bourbon royal family, I will kill you." Louis XVIII rushed towards Compenny like a lunatic, but fortunately Talleyrand grabbed him.

"Okay. This is the Prussian Palace, don't argue. Lord Kompeny, I wonder what you are here for this time?" Friedrich William III asked, staring at Kompeny.

"This time I came here on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Our country to invite His Majesty the King to go to Paris on January 20, 1814 to attend the coronation ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor of Our country, to hold peace talks and end the confrontation between the two countries." Kompeny said calmly.

"Hmph! If you want to have peace talks, you can return the two provinces of Alsace and Lorraine to our country first. Due to the invasion of your army, our interests have been greatly damaged. Is your country not going to make compensation for this?" Friedrich William III said aggressively.

"His Majesty the King, the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine were ceded to your country by the Bourbon dynasty, but Iberia has never recognized the status of those two provinces, so our actions are simply to recover the land." Kompeny replied without any concession.

"You are simply an invasion, a despicable invasion of Prussia. Do you want to provoke a war between the two countries?" Friedrich William III threatened.

But Kompeny didn't take his own way. The war? Didn't it be going on for a long time? And it was not with Prussia, but with the whole of Europe. "His Majesty the King, His Majesty the Emperor of Our country wanted to hold peace talks to end the war. Of course, if you refuse peace and want to continue the war, then we can stay with you to the end." Kompeny fought back.

"Okay, then let our army decide the outcome on the battlefield." Friedrich William III was not showing any weakness.

The talks broke down and Friedrich William III wanted to take Artsas and Lorraine from the French Empire. It was impossible. Who wouldn't know that the iron ore resources there were very rich.

On November 29, Kompeni and his party left Berlin. Their next stop was Dresden, the capital of the Saxony Kingdom. The Saxony Kingdom is much larger than before and has increased its strength, but compared to traditional powers, it is still not up to the table. On December 1, Kompeni arrived in Dresden and submitted a letter of state to the Saxony Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But on the second day, the Saxony King was not summoned, so on December 3, Kompeni left Dresden. Originally, the Saxony King wanted to put on airs. After all, the Saxony Kingdom was a vassal state of the French Empire. Now that Saxony is powerful, he naturally wants to reflect the so-called "big power style". However, he did not expect that the others would not take this trick at all, which made the Saxony King very angry.

The third stop is Erfurt, the capital of the Kingdom of Thuringia. It is different from the Kingdom of Saxony. King Thuringia approached him on December 5, the day when Kompeny and the others arrived. The reason is very simple. Thuringia is the weakest among several countries, and it is also the closest one in France. If there is a stalemate with France, then he will definitely be the one who will be hit first. But because Prussia has rejected Kompeny's request, King Thuringia dared not make a statement easily, and could only treat Kompeny perfunctorily. Seeing this situation, Kompeny didn't say much, and left Erfurt on the second day and headed to the next stop, Munich, the capital of the Kingdom of Bavaria.

Kompeni arrived in Munich on December 9. Like King Thuringian, the Bavarian king also met him at the first time, but the same was because he was afraid of the French Empire and other European powers, and the Bavarian king did not dare to make a statement at will. Kompeni did not gain anything here.

On December 14, Kompeni arrived in Vienna, the capital of Austria. After he submitted his letter of state, Austrian Emperor Francis I met him three days later.

"See Your Majesty the Emperor, I only offer you the most sincere respect on behalf of Your Majesty the Emperor of Our Country." Kompeny respectfully saluted the Austrian Emperor Francis I.

"I wonder which emperor you represent?" Francis I said with a smile.

Kompeny was stunned and then replied: "Of course it's the emperor of the French Empire."

"Oh, I don't know this. I know there are two emperors in the French Empire, one is His Majesty, who has passed away, and the other is His Majesty, the son of His Majesty, and my grandson Francois." The smile on Francis I's face became stronger and stronger.

"Your Majesty is joking. The current French emperor is His Majesty Andresie." Compenny said with a smile on his face.

"No, who made him the emperor? Did the dead Majesty Napoleon? I think he was just a self-proclaimed person. The French Empire could restore the country, but there was only one emperor, and that was my grandson Francois." Francis I said with anger on his face.

After hearing what he said, Kompeni's face turned very ugly. He knew that he would not get any results in Vienna. Francis I would not recognize Xiao Jie, so he simply said to deal with Francis I and left and headed to the last stop, Moscow, the capital of Russia.

It was December 29 when Kompeni arrived in Moscow. At that time, Russia was busy with war with the Turkish Empire and the Persian Empire. In addition, Russia suffered heavy losses in the hands of Iberia during the war. Bagragian and Minoradovic, who fled back to Russia, slandered Iberia in order to evade responsibility, which greatly reduced Alexander's impression of Iberia. Therefore, no one paid attention to the letter of state submitted by Kangpeni. Kompeni waited until January 3, but still did not receive Alexander's summons. In desperation, he had to admit that the diplomatic mission failed. Among the six countries, none of them were willing to negotiate with the French Empire and attend Xiao Jie's coronation ceremony.
