Struggle in Russia

Chapter 168: storm

Bucharest. Romanian Brotherhood headquarters.

In this cold winter day, the hearts of Romanians are fiery. Since Russia ended its "protection" of Wallachia and the Principality of Moldavia in 1834, the anti-Russian independence movement has flourished with the secret support of Britain and France.

For the Romanian national liberation activists, the Tsar did not like them more than the Turkish sultan, although with the support of the Tsar Wallachia and Moldavia were somewhat freed from Ottoman Turkish control. But the Tsar's desire to control the duchy was not weaker than that of the Turkish sultan, and even worse than that.

For example, the governors of the two principalities are completely the puppets of the tsars. The constitutional "Organization Rules" of the two principalities are basically the will of the tsars. There is no democracy and no autonomy, and some only have centralized power.

For the members of the Romanian Brotherhood who grew up in Paris, the French-style revolution and freedom are more in line with their tastes, and they hate the brutal and backward Russians, so they acted this spring.

"Hands on?" Gafur asked.

Strathford Canning took out his pocket watch with a smile, and nodded, "It's already started!"

Gavour breathed a sigh of relief, stood up in excitement, walked back and forth a few times, and said, "Are you sure?"

Cunning responded confidently: "Very big!"

Canning is not wrong in this point. The Romanian Brotherhood's uprising is indeed very grasping. The tsar's rule in Wallachia and Moldavia really made the Romanians uncomfortable. Now there is the British acquiescence. The French also oppose Russia. Could there be a better time than this?

As the screams of the people of Bucharest came to the streets and began a large-scale demonstration, they surrounded the governor, the official residence of the Russian Prince Prince Georgi Bibescu, and threw everything they could find, including and Not just stones, rotten eggs, rotten leaves, and stool.

The poor Prince Hou was terrified and shrank in the palace under the protection of a small number of guards and dared not show up. He could only send a disguise to the Russian consulate for help.

But at this time, the consul general of Russia was not in much better condition than the prince, or even worse. The angry Romanians also surrounded the Russian Consulate, and surrounded it with a leak. Soon after, Romanian soldiers who sent their hearts to the people brought in artillery and arranged their positions, and it seemed that they could attack the Consulate at any time.

"What do these **** **** want?"

Viscount Beolki, the Russian Consul General, was frightened by the sight outside the window. He walked nervously around the office, like a restless dirt dog.

"Where is our army?"

The Consul General asked a little hysterically, and when he learned that the nearest army was still in Kahur and Borgrad, he collapsed.

"You must retreat immediately! Immediately! Immediately!"

Viscount Beorki commanded frantically, but where did he flee? Is there a safe place in Bucharest? It is said that the whole city has rioted. Anti-Russian elements are guarding all major intersections and thoroughfares, inspecting every carriage in the past, and claiming to hang all Russians.

Viscount Beorki did not want to die, let alone in the ghost place of Bucharest. In St. Petersburg, he also has a beautiful wife, a beautiful wife, and a luxury villa. The huge family business is still waiting for him to enjoy. He doesn't want to be sent to the gallows by Romanian mud legs.

"Go to the Austrian consulate! Yes! Go to the Austrian consulate!"

Viscount Beorki in panic thought of the only trusted ally in Bucharest, only the Austrians were reliable?

Between the empires, Viscount Beorki fled to the Austrian Consulate with his followers under the cover of a guard to "kill a blood path". He was deeply impressed by this nine-dead life, and a few months later he returned to St. Petersburg to publish a book called "The Adventures of Bucharest", telling how he heroically led his subordinates to survive.

Of course, the real scene is not so scary. There was nothing to die for. The Romanian demonstrators acted with restraint. Except for firing into the sky to scare the consul-free Russian consul, he almost watched him escape to the Austrian consulate.

All this was arranged, the Romanian Brotherhood was not stupid, and did not intend to hang Viscount Beorki and hang it on a lamppost, so it would not be of any benefit except to completely anger Nicholas I.

The Romanians tend to scare away the cowardly Viscount Beorki, preventing him from giving any support to Prince Georgi Bibescu, who is isolated in the palace. When the prince did not have the support and reassurance of Russia, it was conceivable that it would not last long.

"Pretty!"

Gafur sincerely admired that the British conspiracy and deception were indeed beautiful, and even the peaceful demonstrations scared the Russians away. Unsurprisingly, the situation in Romania would soon deteriorate.

In this way, Nicholas I's attention must be drawn to it. With the temper of the impenetrable Tsar, there must be a reaction, and as long as he responds, the Austrians and the French must also make a chain reaction, especially the Austrians. Although the Tsarist ally, the relationship between the two countries is unusual However, in the face of national interests, the Austrians may not let the Russians do it, and by then the fun will certainly look good.

"What's the next thing?"

Cunning replied with a smile: "Of course ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ everything goes well, why not just go?"

The two smiled at each other, touched the glass softly, and looked forward to everything next. When the Balkan gunpowder is lit, everything will be completely different!

Indeed, everything will be different. But this difference is not exactly the same as what Canning and Gaffl envisioned. I am afraid they can't imagine what a storm will follow!

The Hermitage, St. Petersburg!

Nicholas I was so pale that in front of him, the Prime Minister, Nescher Roddie, was silent, because the news was indeed embarrassing. The Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs had no idea that the situation in Bucharest would deteriorate so quickly!

Almost overnight, the Romanian mob paralyzed the entire city, scared away Viscount Beorki, and intimidated Prince Georgi. Bibescu had to abdicate, and a new constitution was promulgated between Lightning and a Republic!

"The Republic!" Nicholas I roared at Nisser Roddie. "They dared to form a republic. This is a provocation! It is a provocation of Chiguo! This is a copy of the French Revolution! It is to declare war on us! This Never tolerate! "
