Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao's proposal was generally approved by the Duke of Alexander Gorchakov, even if it was because of the sacred alliance, Russia did not gang with Austria. All thieves know that they can't do nothing without leaving empty. Why didn't Nicholas I understand this?

Anyway, the Duke of Alexander was totally incomprehensible to Nicholas I's brain circuit, didn't he understand what is the national interest first? I still thought in my mind that the Holy Alliance was really reliable. I thought that Austria and Prussia were brother states. If the brothers were in trouble, they should help. He believed that the uprising mob all over the world was his and Russia's confidant.

This is simply speechless. Anyway, from the perspective of the Duke of Alexander, it is really meaningless to save Austria. It is more beneficial for Russia to collapse Austria. After Austria is finished, it is naturally impossible for them to continue to expand in the Balkans, or even maintain their existence.

Of course, the vacuum left behind can be taken over by Russia. By then, several generations of tsars would be able to do things that they could not do easily. Isn't it bad?

Well, even if you are full of stones in Nicholas I or water in your head, you must save Austria for free! When the army moves, it costs more than a million dollars! Does Austria always have to pay for this money? And the Austrians have taken such a big advantage that Russia must be left to the Balkans!

Only when these are implemented, can Austria be saved, and we can barely save it. But the problem is that these ideas were completely absent from Nicholas I, and that Nescher Rodin clearly wanted to, but in order to maintain his own diplomatic strategy, he strongly opposed it. He always put the importance of any sacred alliance in his mouth as if it was gone. Without this semi-alliance alliance, Russia would be extinct.

This gave the Duke Alexander an irritated tooth, but there wasn't much to do. Who would have made Nicholas I fall into the evil of Nichel Rodi!

He could only restrain and covertly advise Nicholas I: "In the current situation, Austria has been unable to effectively exert its influence on Turkey. The situation in Wallachia and Moldavia has been encouraged and condoned by Britain and France. There is the possibility of further deterioration. "

"Once this happens, our long-term interests in Wallachia and Moldavia will be severely damaged, which will greatly harm our interests. Viana should be pressed as soon as possible on this issue to force them to agree It is imperative to adopt the same tone as ours. "

The subtext of this statement is very clear, but it is really difficult to understand if Nicholas I understood it, so the Duke Alexander could only hint: "Given the chaotic situation in Austria, the possibility of a complete collapse of the country is not ruled out. Vienna We urgently need our assistance and are willing to pay all acceptable prices for our generous assistance ... "

This suggestion is already very explicit, almost shouting at Nicholas I: "Choose a knife! Hurry up! Don't hesitate and be polite!"

So what was Nicholas I's attitude? Is he still so naive?

If you want to say that Nicholas I was really a small naive, childish sand sculpture, it must be false. The reason why he cares so much about Austria's willingness to help Austrian friends regardless of return is simple:

First of all, he was very afraid of the revolution, and regarded the revolution as the number one threat. He always felt that the revolutionary masses could overthrow the rule of the Habsburgs today, and they would overthrow the rule of the Romanovs tomorrow.

He had a paranoia of revolutionary persecution, so when he heard that the revolution would have to extinguish the fire regardless of whether it really helped the national interest of Russia. As long as he can stifle the revolution and make him lose money and take off his pants, he is willing.

Secondly, he attaches great importance to the sacred alliance. He feels that as long as the sacred alliance is present, he can curb the provocations of Britain and France and maintain the long-term security of Russia. Now that Austria is an important member of the Divine Alliance, and it is now in danger of life and death, it must be saved.

Otherwise, is it still without the Holy Alliance in Austria?

Based on these two points, Nicholas I was willing to help Austria to suppress the revolution with all its might. But as Duke Alexander Gorchakov repeatedly made suggestions, some of them were tempting, and they really made him fascinated.

Yes, it is realistic to be politically irrelevant, whether it is old-fashioned or foolish. No one can resist the fatal temptation. For Nicholas I, there were not many fatal temptations. Together they were just a few:

He also wanted to realize the aspirations of his ancestors and recapture Constantinople through the Mediterranean; he also wanted to liberate the Slavs and Orthodox brothers who were enslaved by Turkey in the Balkans to become true saints.

This is what he wants most, and he is willing to give his life. But it is not easy to achieve these two. He has tried several times, and although he has achieved certain results, he is still far from the goal.

After all these years, that is, occupying a part of Bessarabia, allowing Wallachia and Moldavia to be highly autonomous, but this land is far from Constantinople! And after realizing all of this, he wanted to take a step forward and faced tremendous pressure from the entire international community.

Britain and France were strongly opposed and began to help the Turks. The ally of the Holy Alliance, Austria, has also begun to crook. UU reading www.uukanshu.com has not only helped but has been hindered repeatedly, and has continued to express concern through diplomatic channels. Actually speaking is against it!

Anyway, it made Nicholas I feel that there was no hope in this life. But after the reminder of Duke Alexander Gorchakov, taking advantage of Faop's domestic chaos and other domestic chaos, he tried to use the excuse of help to slap Austria's Songkou, which was not impossible!

If Austria concedes, it would be possible to send troops to Wallachia, cut it out of Turkey ’s territory, and even sign a garrison agreement to protect Wallachia.

Then he slowly operated for a while, making Wallachia and Moldavia a part of Russia like Poland and Finland. Is this operation familiar to him? Once successful, it means that Russia is much closer to Constantinople.

And on the future journey, there are Bulgarian, Serbian and other Turkish vassals that can be operated one by one. One by one, isn't that getting closer to Constantinople!

At this moment Nicholas I was really tempted. He was a little excited, and immediately called the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Nesher Roddie, to the Royal Study Room, and asked his opinions in detail to see if it was really possible ...
