Struggle in Russia

Spring has hardly ever existed in St. Petersburg, with thick layers of snow layer by layer, and freezing cold water drips into ice. Especially at night, even in the bustling city center, there are few people in sight, and the whole city seems to be frozen.

Of course, if you enter the room, whether it is a club, a theater or an ordinary pub, it is another scene.

Indulging in carnival and singing and dancing is the nature of the Russians. A glass of vodka and an accordion dance music can make these people who are trapped by the cold and political shackles happy.

For example, at this time, Boris was carrying the dancer who was slightly blessed, singing and dancing, and was as happy as a child who received the New Year's money.

Vishniak hooked up with the tavern owner on the other side. The Dumas had already grasped the boss's hand, and it seems that more can be touched in the near future.

Tolstoy had fallen unconscious on the wine table. The poor kid had been drunk. The party tonight was just to send him off the 748 group. Tomorrow he will return to Kazan to continue college.

Lao Tuo really did not want to leave, and even wanted to be a soldier in the 748 regiment. The boring college life made him feel bored, and the 748 group of friends are even more lovely, and the life here is more simple and natural. There is not so much hypocrisy and idleness in the aristocratic circle.

"You guys are too real!"

Alexei looked at Tolstoy, who was drunk, and looked at Li Xiao, who was content to drink slowly, and said badly: "Much more cute than some cunning guys!"

Some sly guys naturally refer to Li Xiao. He had seen through the way that someone used honey water to disguise alcohol in the carnival. Poor Tolstoy was confused by someone who drank water. This poor child is really too real.

Li Xiao smiled and did not refute, but just raised the small wine glass in his hand: "Respect you, my friend!"

Aleksey also laughed, toasting with Li Xiao: "Dear Russians who can't drink!"

Among a few friends, Alexey can be ranked in the top three for the amount of alcohol, except for Boris, who will not get drunk like a barrel, and Boris, who looks like Sven, but drinks better than a wine tank. Leonid was his drinker.

However, Alexei claimed that in fact he could not drink before, and the amount of alcohol was derived from the mixed official training these years. He habitually spit while drinking.

In this regard, Li Xiao expressed his understanding that preventing Russians from drinking is as crazy as not allowing Sichuanese to eat spicy food. People in this country of wine lunatics can skip meals, but can't help but drink, especially dignitaries are particularly good.

At that time, Peter the Great and his friends were known for being able to drink alcohol. They used carnival climbing ladders when they visited abroad and almost demolished the boarding house.

"Liao Nia, my friend, why are you unhappy?"

Li Xiao noticed that Leonid's mood was wrong. Although the saint usually looked at each other, the wine table was actually very active. The toasts were set one after another, and they could be used for a variety of serious reasons. . But today it seems a bit dull, and the mood is not particularly beautiful.

"It's nothing," Leonid sighed. "The uncle wrote and said that his father was in trouble, as if he was offended by His Majesty ..."

Li Xiao winked at Aleksei, but he knew that Nicholas I's dog temper and angered him might not be as simple as reprimand, which would make Leonid depressed, it seems that Alexander Gorchaco The Duke was in a bad situation.

But he also knew Leonid's temper, and this one would never take the initiative to speak out about problems and worries. Even if it was a big problem, he would rather bear it in silence. So I can only ask Alex Xie, who is very well-informed. He almost knew nothing about the third part.

"The Duke proposes to make use of the chaos in Austria to break the deadlock in the Balkans ..."

Alexei lowered his voice and explained vaguely. It wasn't that he couldn't figure it out, in fact, he knew very well, and how shocking the Duke's proposal was. Because of this, it is not appropriate to speak too clearly, this will cause panic in China!

"is it?"

Li Xiao took another sip of wine and suddenly smiled: "The Duke's idea is good! This is indeed a good way. How does he suggest to proceed?"

Alexei and Leonid were both stunned. They stared at Li Xiao with wide eyes, as if looking at a monster.

In fact, they are not surprised that Austria has a special status in the hearts of the Russians, especially the Russian noble families who participated in the 1812 war. In that war against Napoleon's aggression, Austria, Russia, and Prussia worked together to completely defeat the incomparable Napoleon.

For the Russian nobles who had experienced all that, Austria was a partner and ally. Especially in recent years, the Holy Alliance has become popular and has become a key force leading the European order. From the perspective of Russian aristocrats, as long as Austria and Prussia are still standing with Russia, everything is as usual, and there is no need to worry about any problems and troubles.

So Alexander Gorchakov's suggestion was simply outrageous, and it turned out to be a black hand against the allies. Is this still human?

"What's the problem?" Li Xiao did not think that Austria would always be an ally and friend of Russia. "Everything is given priority to national interests. The Austrians did not fight alongside us at the beginning! If it weren't for us Napoleon ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ showed them hope that they would fight with us? "

Li Xiao mocked mercilessly: "I'm afraid I will only kneel and lick Napoleon. For the Austrians, even a princess can give Napoleon a warm bed. What else can't be done?"

Alexei and Leonid both showed awkward expressions. It is true that the Austrians can kneel and lick Napoleon when they do not perform any exercises, but that is not forced by the helpless situation!

"Then we can now be forced to support the Austrian opposition in the helpless situation!" Li Xiao sneered scornfully: "This is all an excuse, everything serves the national interest. Everything must protect the national interest. "

"The best option for our country now is undoubtedly to support the opposition in Austria. It is best to directly dismember this empire and let it be torn apart for our benefit!"

If Alexei and Leonid were just a little surprised just now, when Li Xiao said that he would openly dismember Austria, it was not just a surprise but a shock or even a panic!

Aleksei spilled his wine all his life and asked tremblingly, "Why ... why?"
