The Russian Foreign Minister was suddenly overjoyed. He originally thought the French would flatly reject this plan, as even he found it somewhat unbelievable. Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince of France agreed outright.

Count Osterman immediately nodded repeatedly: "You have made this plan even more perfect, esteemed Crown Prince. I think His Majesty the Emperor will certainly agree with your point of view."
Joseph cooperatively smiled and nodded: "I will have Archbishop Talleyrand negotiate with the Ottomans as soon as possible to obtain the right for the fleet to pass through the Bosphorus Strait."
