Struggle in Russia

Vol 2 Chapter 59: Anxious Nicholas

St. Petersburg, Hermitage, Imperial Study.

Nicholas I sat dark at his desk, looking blankly at the sheet of paper in his hand, as if it was heavy.

The Prime Minister, Nesser Lodie, could clearly see that the supreme hands were shaking, and fear was clearly written in his eyes.

So what makes this arrogant tsar so morbid? What was written on that thin piece of paper?

In fact, it's nothing, just to report the latest situation in Berlin. It just said that Frederick William IV was forced to agree with the people's demands, promising to hold a constitutional conference and give the people freedom of speech and publication.

This was a great hit for Nicholas I. What was the most afraid of the poisoned vegetable man? It is the people. He hopes that the monarchs throughout Europe will rule the country with his iron hand like him, forming an airtight net, which will continue the autocracy from generation to generation.

In order to achieve this goal, and in response to a new round of revolutionary storms, Nicholas I had ordered his army to be ready, and as soon as he negotiated with other countries, he immediately sent troops to fight the fire.

Nicholas I's preferred target of assistance was naturally the closest ones, namely Prussia and Austria. Who would have thought that before the Russian army on his side was ready to advance, Frederick William IV raised his hand and surrendered.

This scared Nicholas I and made him angry:

"That soft egg, that incompetent sissy, was frightened by such a little difficulty. Several mobs shot a few scares and scared him, shameful! Sad! He lost all the glory of Frederick the Great Gone, sincerely one generation is worse than one generation! "

After a brief silence, Nicholas I broke out completely, he cursed and vomited his elder brother frantically, of course, not only the elder brother, the second elder brother could not escape his poisonous tongue:

"Where is Little William? Where has he been? Didn't he always claim to be a grape bomb before, can he defeat the enemy in one piece and never shrink back! Where is his cannon and his bayonet?"

"This cowhide king, as soon as he reached the real level, completely appeared, and he couldn't be trusted at all!"

Well, if the future William I knew that his brother-in-law evaluated himself so much, I'm afraid he would cry without tears. Although the performance of the emperor in the future in this revolution is not good, it is not a soft egg. When the people were massacred, they were not softened at all. Most of the 183 martyrs were his writing.

Of course, leading more than 10,000 soldiers failed to suppress the Berlin Revolution and finally had to rush to London to avoid the disaster. This performance was indeed not good. At least not as good as Nicholas I of 1825, it is normal to be despised by my brother-in-law.

"Who can tell me what is going on in Berlin now?" Nicholas I angered his ministers and asked, "Is the mob under house arrest? Are you ready to imitate the French and prepare a guillotine?"

This problem made it difficult for Oldorf, because as the boss of the third part, he had the responsibility to dissolve Nicholas I, but the problem was that the Berlin revolution broke out too suddenly, and the situation in three or four days It took a sharp turn and caught people by surprise. The third spy abroad has not yet had time to understand the situation in detail.

But Oldorf couldn't help answering the question of Nicholas I. He deliberately replied: "For the time being, the mob is more restrained and has not resorted to compulsory imprisonment to limit the freedom of the king's family ... It seems to be believed They've got ... got satisfaction ... "

Nicholas I didn't like this answer at all. He asked with a beard and a stare, "What! Do you mean this is good news? The king's safety must thank the mob for his gifts, and these **** things. More restrained and easier to be satisfied! Duke, what do you mean by telling me that you can rest assured that you can also satisfy these mobs in the future! "

Aldorf came down on the spot, and even scared a stunner, he quickly explained:

"No, Your Majesty, I don't mean that at all. I mean that the mob should not take more drastic measures for the time being, and the Prussian royal family should be safe for the time being ... If we take drastic military measures at this time, I am afraid they will stimulate them. Let them take the risk and take a tragic act like 1789. We should be more cautious about the events in Berlin! "

Nicholas I frowned. He didn't like the suggestion, but he had to admit that Oldorf's words still made sense. The mob still didn't stimulate it casually. In case it exploded again, his elder brother's family estimated All have to go to the food market entrance.

But let Nicholas I be so indifferent, that's not his style, and he cares more about the chain reaction than the life of his brother-in-law. If the Berlin incident stimulates the mob all over Europe, let What should they do to follow suit? Is it more appropriate to kill chickens with scalpels and cannons? At least not let it go or not!

"Of course it doesn't matter," Oldorf quickly urged, "Your Majesty, even if we have to interfere in the Berlin Incident, there must be a reason?"

"The Prussian side has not invited us to intervene. Are you ready to declare war on Prussia?"

Nicholas I was astonished. Indeed, Berlin was so fierce that he could no longer look down on his eyes. UU reading www.uukanshu.com was also the business of the neighbor next door. People did not ask you to control it, so The house was so noisy that the house was uncovered and the house was even demolished, and it was not your job!

You must be famous to suppress the mob, right? Otherwise, to suppress the mob and declare war on Prussia directly, wouldn't that be a big joke?

"Uh……"

Nicholas I was speechless for a while, and Oldorf hurriedly persuaded again: "The situation now is that it is not appropriate to take too much action on the part of Prussia, on the one hand, to respect Prussia, on the other hand, and to maintain Frederick. The safety of Her Majesty IV. And the situation in Austria is more alarming than in Prussia! "

"I think it is imperative to immediately intervene in the incident in Hungary and not let the Berlin incident repeat itself. Once Hungary becomes independent, the Holy Alliance is in danger of collapse!"

Nescher Roddie immediately stepped forward and said, "The suggestion of the Duke of Oldorf is very reasonable. Austria is already in chaos. If no strong support measures are given, the rule of the Habsburgs will be ended. The whole country will be torn apart. I can guarantee that the British and the French will definitely take advantage of it, and those liberal mobs will also take advantage of it. A new source of evil strategies to subvert the European order will take shape in Austria! "
