Struggle in Russia

It turned out that Lemo was not that strong, and he gave up even before the red-hot iron touched his butt.

"I write a confession! I write!"

The military police colonel shook his head and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lemo's performance. He said contemptuously: "It would be great to cooperate earlier. If you insist on asking me to go to this trouble, you Austrians will not shed tears until you see the coffin!"

He ordered to his left and right: "Take him to write a confession and then give it to me for inspection!"

After saying that, he turned his head and said to Lemo fiercely: "You'd better write according to our requirements honestly, otherwise I don't mind doing it all over again!"

What else could Lemo say? He was completely cowarded. He could do anything as long as he didn't have to suffer physical pain. As for the future events, how could Nima have so much control over it!

Soon Li Xiao received a report from Chisinau: The Austrian spy network in Moldavia was destroyed in one fell swoop, and dozens of Austrian spies and thousands of Moldavia thugs were captured.

He was not surprised by this result, because the Austrians have an unparalleled interest in the Balkans and regard this place as their own backyard. If it weren't for the Revolution of 1848, it would be impossible for Russia to expand its influence in this area.

Now that the Crimean War has dealt a heavy blow to Russia, the Austrians naturally feel that they are capable again, and it is normal for them to have ideas to do things again.

But for Li Xiao, this area must not be ceded to the Austrians. Not to mention that the relationship between Russia and Austria will be very tense in the next few decades, Wallachia, which he has worked hard to manage, cannot be ceded to Habu. Those deformed children of the Fort family!

After thinking about it, he immediately gave instructions to Chisinau: execute all Moldavia's wallflowers, confiscate all their properties, and exile them to Siberia along with their families.

He just wants to use the most iron-blooded means to tell some people in Moldavia and Wallachia that if you dare to go against Russia, you will sacrifice your whole family. He wants to kill one to scare a hundred chickens and monkeys, and let these petty and lively guys know what. What can and cannot be done!

As for the Austrians, he also ordered them all to be escorted to St. Petersburg and handed over to Alexander II with a wave of his hand.

I believe that with those letters of confession, both Alexander II and Duke Alexander were particularly willing to give the Austrians a hard look.

Although this may not necessarily dispel the Austrians' wishful thinking, it can at least keep them honest for a few days.

The Austrians had to calm down Li Xiao before they could go all out to deal with the more troublesome British and French people. They must cut off the black hands that these two families have extended to Ukraine, and they must hurt them!

Li Xiao was not so polite to the British and French. That was Hong Guoguo's iron-fisted methods. According to his order, the Russian army first raided the British and French agents in Moldavia, killing these people and their property. The so-called British and French businessmen were confiscated and beheaded, and then the so-called British and French businessmen were directly evaporated from the world.

This shocked Britain and France, because they never expected that Russia's reaction would be so strong. After all, compared to the Austrians, they really only gave a small amount of money. Why did the Russians make it so bloody? ?

Aren't the Russians afraid of offending them and triggering another war?

Li Xiao's view on this is very simple. Compared with the Austrians, the actions of Britain and France were indeed much smaller. They only gave some money.

But things cannot be viewed this way. No matter what, the starting point of Britain and France is to mess up Ukraine and interfere in Russia's internal affairs. This goal must not be pursued!

Once they feel that the Russians don't respond to giving money, their next step may be to do more than just give money!

So Li Xiao had to cut off their thoughts and tell them that even if they gave them money, they couldn't do it!

Only in this way will they not dare to continue to push further!

As for whether it will trigger strong reactions from Britain and France, Li Xiao doesn't think it will. Because the two families have never been of the same mind.

Although they wore a pair of trousers during the Crimean War, that was because Russia's expansion in the Balkans had aroused strong dissatisfaction in Western Europe. In order to prevent Russia from continuing to grow bigger, they put aside their previous differences and worked together.

Once Russia's expansion momentum is interrupted, the basis for cooperation between the two countries will no longer exist.

Especially for the French, the British have never been friends, and the two families still have historical blood debts that have not yet been settled. The French beat the Russian polar bear out of a desire for national and national rejuvenation.

The overthrow of Russia, which had led to the collapse of the First French Empire, meant that half of the shame of the Napoleonic era had been washed away.

The remaining half fell on the British. From the moment Russia was forced to admit defeat, the alliance between France and Britain came to an end.

It can be seen from the Paris peace talks that if France had not been against Britain, it would have been almost impossible for Alexander II to get through with dignity.

When the contradiction between Britain and France became the mainstream, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com As long as Russia does not do anything particularly egregious, the French do not need to pay attention to it.

While the French are not serious about it, it is impossible for the British to be serious about it, so Li Xiao is really not afraid of these two companies jumping in.

The facts were quite different from what he had expected. After learning that the spy networks in Wallachia and Moldavia had been destroyed by Russia, Britain and France had no further reaction other than a round of verbal protests. .

On the contrary, their activities in the Balkans have been restrained a lot, and they bully the weak and fear the strong.

Duke Alexander wrote a special letter to praise Li Xiao, saying that Alexander II was very happy with his actions. The envoy saw that the Austrians had lost face and the tsar favored a few more mistresses in the evening.

The only pity is that Alexander II was very happy, but he had no intention of commending Li Xiao. It can be seen that he is still very wary of this cousin, and he is very stingy with even the most basic verbal praise!

However, Duke Alexander told him that he had indirectly benefited him. He blackmailed the Austrians severely and forced them to spend a lot of money to buy back the spies, including Lemo.

Nearly 30% of the redemption fee will be given to Li Xiao, which is said to be hundreds of thousands of rubles.

However, Li Xiao doesn’t particularly care about money. What he values ​​​​more is the proportion he gets. The figure of 30% does not seem high, but considering all the bureaucrats and departments, this share ratio is really a bit high. This shows that he is in The status in the eyes of Prince Alexander and many St. Petersburg bureaucrats increased.

I believe that as long as he keeps up his efforts and can win a few more similar "victory battles", even if Alexander II doesn't want to see him, he won't be able to suppress him...
