Struggle in Russia

Alexei once again started the nodding mode. Moldavia and Wallachia were actually firmly controlled by the three companies of Austria, Russia and Turkey. Among them, Russia has the strongest control, followed by Austria, and Turkey again.

After the last Russian-Turkish war, the biggest obstacle to Russia's failure to forcibly annex Wallachia and Moldavia actually came from Austria and Turkey. Of course, the strength of the latter's opposition is not so effective. The most important thing is that Russia is worried about causing discomfort to the Austrian ally, so it did not insist on it.

Now the situation is different. Turkey is still a sick man for thousands of years, so it is not a concern. Austria was plunged into turmoil because of the revolution, its strength was greatly reduced, and it was still waiting for the Russian soldiers to save their lives. Therefore, in the face of survival and the interests of the Balkans, he must choose survival first. In order to survive, he can only give up part of the interests of Wallachia and Moldavia.

Although Nicholas I promised before, Russia is going to restore and rebuild order, and it will not fundamentally change the state of Wallachia and Moldavia. In short, Wallachia and Moldavia have the same international form as before-they belong to the Grand Duchy with a high degree of autonomy under the Turkish territory.

However, this grand duchy is still different from the previous grand duchy. In order to ensure that there will be no anti-Russian rebellion in the two grand duchy, Russia must strengthen its presence in these two grand duchy.

How to strengthen the sense of existence? It must be sent to supervise and manage it! And this person who goes to supervise and manage is naturally the Supreme Emperor and the actual controller of Wallachia and Moldavia, in other words, it is actually the Governor!

Of course, it may not be called the Governor in the end, but the actual power of the Governor is certainly not lacking.

Li Xiao said unceremoniously: "So our next goal is to help you, Earl II of Sperrance, get the position of Governor of Wallachia!"

Alexei subconsciously wants to say that he is not qualified, but he is really interested in this position. If he can sit in this position and make a little achievement, returning to China in the future will be equivalent to just waiting for promotion.

Thinking of this, Alexei couldn't speak humbly. Instead, there was a touch of eagerness in his eyes, and he was about to move.

"Then what should I do?" Alexei asked directly.

Li Xiao smiled, as long as Alexei is tempted, it will be easy, after all, only Alexei among them has the possibility of ascending the throne of the governor. Nothing else was impossible for him or Leonid.

"It's very simple, you have to show a brighter performance! Let everyone think that you are the most suitable candidate for the Governor of Wallachia!"

Alexei asked eagerly: "Then what should I do?"

Yes, Alexei really has no confidence in this. Before meeting with Li Xiao, he was utterly devastated in Wallachia, and he had no merits worth mentioning. Now he still feels that he wants people, no one wants money, no money, and nothing can be done.

Someone is different. He ran over with his bare hands and casually emptied the White Wolf and succeeded. Then he engaged in the blood of the National Party, and by the way the British were miserable. It's just a little master. Is it hard to do meritorious service with someone's guidance?

"It's very simple!" Li Xiao replied with a smile, "If you can win Bucharest before Duke Mikhail Gorchakov, will it be a great achievement?"

"Uh???"

Alexei gasped, because someone was too ambitious. How easy is it to win Bucharest ahead of Duke Mikhail? After all, Bucharest is now stationed with 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of militias, and the defense force is extremely strong.

And how many pro-Russian leading parties has Alexei been able to win for so long? There may not be 10,000 people in total. Even if these leading parties can become ten, they cannot succeed, right?

"Hey, why do you always want to fight hard?" Li Xiao sighed quietly, "Don't say that your dog-legged party leads the way. Don't say one is ten. One-on-one is not an opponent of the passionate National Self-Defense Army and militia. Those guys are at best a cheering role!"

Alexei smiled bitterly: "You know! Then you let me go to occupy Bucharest, isn't this a pebble hitting a rock to die!"

"How can it be sent to death!" Li Xiao hated iron and steel: "I told you, we must not fight hard! We have to outwit!"

"Outsmart? How to outsmart?"

"It's very simple! First, we must disintegrate Wallachia's unity from within, let them fight each other or even kill each other, and consume their strength through internal fighting!"

Alexei nodded thoughtfully and asked, "So you have been instigating and intensifying their conflicts, right?"

Li Xiao smiled triumphantly: "Of course, otherwise, why should I ask Jan Constantine to seize the arsenal? Have you seen that, right?"

Alexei felt that the effect was more than good, it was an immediate effect. The radicals of Jan Constantine and the conservatives of George Stryb were directly in the same position, and even with other dividends, they immediately started the turf-grabbing mode, and they immediately started fighting together.

Alexei believes that this is just the first step, and someone will probably sway him in the future. Constantine will continue to arrogate the fire, believing that radicals and conservatives will soon have a direct conflict.

"But that's not enough?" Alexei asked with a frown.

"Don't worry!" Li Xiao smiled, "We now control three-quarters of Bucharest's arms, which is equivalent to pinching the guards' life gate. How can they fight without arms?"

"This is just the first step~www.ltnovel.com~ Next I have to start with their food! Let the defenders have neither arms nor rations, so how long can they last?"

Alexei was shocked and blurted out: "Food? This is impossible, right? Wallachiians are not fools. How can they give away food?"

Li Xiao smiled and replied: "I'm not going to let them give it away! I plan to buy them from them!"

"Buy?" Alexei's eyes widened, and then frowned immediately: "I remember that they have quite a lot of food in stock. Do you have the financial resources?"

Li Xiao smiled and replied: "Of course I don't have the financial resources, but we do!"

Alexei became more and more puzzled, and asked, "Neither do we, right?"

Li Xiao explained: "This we mean your Majesty and Duke Mikhail Gorchakov! Vishnyak wrote to me and told me that because the Mikheevich brothers had corrupted the Black Sea Fleet’s reserves. In order to ensure the smooth development of the military operations, His Majesty ordered that Duke Mikhail be allocated a huge sum of money to buy food, hehe..."
