Struggle in Russia

Nicholas I was stunned, and looked at the Duke of Aldorf for a while before nodding and saying: "What you said makes sense. You can't be too kind to the enemy. The more the enemy opposes, the more we must support."

After a short pause, he said again: "It's just that it's not my style to just be beaten and not fight back. Our enemies are tarnishing our country's reputation presumptuously. This is absolutely intolerable. Duke, what can you do to give you the right thing? Fight back?"

Duke Odolf did not directly scold him. He has a way of fart. You don't need to see who is in the hands of the European public opinion circle. Since the defeat of Napoleon, Britain’s right to speak in this area has not been generally large, and almost half of Europe is willing to listen to the British voice.

And now not only Britain is throwing dirty water on Russia, but the revival of France has also joined the ranks. It is said that after these two nostrils vent their air, Russia’s wanting to wrestle with them in the public opinion is simply self-defeating. .

It's just that who made this the meaning of Nicholas I? Even if it's not easy, the Duke of Aldorf can't say it can't be done. He can only bite the bullet and replied:

"Your Majesty, there are not many methods available. As you can see, Britain and France are now framing us all together. The momentum is extremely large, and it is not a normal counterattack that can be defeated. I think the best way at the moment is to try to contact allies and friendly countries and try to make They will not misbelieve these untrue news."

Nicholas I frowned, because this method did not satisfy him, because since the declaration of war between Britain and France, Russia's so-called ally, whether it is Prussia or Austria, has been extremely lax.

Even if it is Prussia who has performed slightly better, it has nothing to do with his attitude. At most, he is telling him that he is willing to help mediation. As for letting his country advance and retreat together, I really want to think too much.

As for Austria, now Nicholas I no longer regards him as an ally, and he even regrets helping Austria put down the rebellion. He has repeatedly told Prince Alexander and Count Klein Mühl that the Austrians are not as good as pigs and dogs, not at all. Understand the gratitude, the last thing I regret in this life is to listen to Neschel Rodie's nonsense and pull them back then.

Therefore, these two ineffective allies must not be able to show Russia in public opinion or even morally, and even if these two goods do not add chaos to discredit Russia, thank God.

He immediately said: "You should have seen the attitude of Prussia and Austria. It is not realistic to expect them to speak for us... Is there any other strategy besides this method?"

The Duke of Aldorf smiled bitterly. If he could find a way, he would say it beforehand. This is how Russia is in the international situation. Except for Prussia and Austria, no third reliable friend can be found in Europe. What's more, even if the small country in Central and Eastern Europe is on the side of Russia, its size and status are too low to be worthwhile at all.

The Duke of Aldorf knew that if Nicholas I continued to entangle this issue, then maybe the czar would have some strange thoughts. If he was given some tasks that he couldn’t do, wouldn’t he want to cry? No tears?

Thinking of this, the Duke of Aldorf suddenly turned and said: "Your Majesty, in view of the current situation, there are not many methods available. I think what we need most is a firm conviction to hold our ground, even if Britain and France set off a huge public opinion. What about the waves? As long as our own people don't believe it, how useful can they be to break their mouths?"

After taking a look at the Duke of Oldorf, Nicholas I, he found that the tsar was a little disappointed, and he quickly added: "In addition, I should also pay attention to the movements of some second-rate European countries to prevent them from being deceived by Britain and France. We are the enemy."

Nicholas I was stunned again, because he understood the subtext of the Duke of Aldorf, which meant that there are already some second-rate countries that have been bewitched by Britain and France and are ready to start against him.

He must immediately know who this second-rate country is. He wants to see who has such a big courage. Some second-rate people dare to stab him, how can this be tolerated!

"Who is bewitched? Is there any specific information?"

That was what the Duke of Aldorf was waiting for. He believed that Nicholas I would not entangle public opinion after he gave the answer. He immediately replied: "Victor I of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. Manuel II recently got close to Britain and France. Our spies showed that he had already had in-depth contact with the British and French ambassadors, and it is very likely that he would follow Britain and France to declare war on our country."

Kingdom of Sardinia?

Nicholas I was stunned. Before, he was still wondering who was so courageous. He really didn't expect that the Italian noodles were so bold. Can these softies forget how embarrassed they were when they were cleaned up by Austria a few years ago? Even dare to mix things with big countries, it is simply tired of living!

Nicholas I was very angry and wanted to crush the Kingdom of Sardinia with one kick. It’s just that the affairs in Italy involved a lot of complicated things, and he didn’t dare to mix things up without the troubles of Bulgaria. Because it's just a show, it's really not worth it.

He was just angry with the Sardinian kingdom and dared to push his nose on his face, just want to vent his dissatisfaction.

The Duke of Aldorf naturally saw that Nicholas I was emotionally unstable. Although this was in his expectation, he also knew that if Nicholas I was allowed to vent his anger indiscriminately, something might happen. .

So he quickly added: "I think we should strengthen our work on the Kingdom of Sardinia now, not to mention that we should at least keep it neutral, not to mention turning it to our country."

Nicholas I nodded in sympathy~www.readwn.com~ It would be great if the kingdom of Sardinia could be kept neutral. He asked: "What do you think should be done?"

The Duke of Aldorf immediately replied: "I think we should send a special envoy to the Kingdom of Sardinia to persuade him to change his mind."

Nicholas I nodded again, and asked again: "Who do you think can do this task?"

The Duke of Aldorf gave a wry smile in his heart, not to mention that he gave the idea to Nicholas I, but it was Duke Alexander Gorchakov who really noticed something wrong with the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The Duke of Alexandria strongly recommends that capable personnel be sent to work in the Kingdom of Sardinia and must try to keep it neutral.

It's just that the Duke of Alexander also said that this task is extremely difficult. The special envoy must have extraordinary wisdom and means to achieve the goal. If only one person is sent casually, it is completely meaningless.

The Duke of Aldorf pondered for a moment and replied: "I think Earl Peter Shuvanov is more appropriate!" Remember the website of this site, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu to enter this site
