Struggle in Russia

Make a big cake?

This explanation caused Vishnyak and Alexei to ponder, because this reason was past. The reason why Paskovic and Duke Mikhail are fighting to break the dog's head is because they want to eat more of the Austrian cake.

Originally, according to the convention, the Austrian cake was said to be so big, no matter who took one more bite, everyone else would have to take one bite less. So the Wizards of Paswick was super resistant to Duke Mikhail.

But if there is a way to make a big cake, it will naturally taste better. The question is, how can the Kingdom of Sardinia be mixed into a big cake?

Li Xiao explained: "Carlo Alberto has always been obsessed with unifying the Apennines. Now that Austria is in chaos, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. As long as he defeats Austria, his career in the spring and autumn will be basically stable..."

Alexei and Vishniak suddenly sighed. Now they understand what someone meant. If the Kingdom of Sardinia gets involved and declares war on Austria, the counterinsurgency will not be limited to the Austrian mainland, and maybe even involve it. Apennines. In a sense, this matter becomes even bigger.

As the backbone of the Holy Alliance, if the Kingdom of Sardinia dared to declare war on Austria, it would naturally be provoking the Holy Alliance. As an ally of Austria, Russia naturally has a reason to send troops to help, nothing wrong!

"Carlo Alberto has so much guts?" Alexei doubted this, because he always looked down on the noodles and felt that this group of counselors could not have the guts to provoke the Holy Alliance, "and even if he has this Courage, I guess the Austrians are unlikely to allow us to enter the Apennines to help them fight!"

Alexey was right about this. For Austria, the sphere of influence of the Apennine Peninsula is forbidden, and no one is allowed to get involved. Especially Russia, which has always been determined to run to the Mediterranean, what if the Russians find an excuse to stay patient?

Li Xiao smiled and said: "So we have to let Carlo Alberto do it quickly. Only by robbing the Austrians before putting down the rebellion can the Austrians be hit the hardest. By then, you will say that the Austrians are on both ends. How would you beg us?"

Both Alexei and Vishniak were stunned, because someone's idea was too evil, mean, and shameless, and took advantage of the danger to the extreme. It is conceivable that if Carlo Alberto declares war on Austria now, the Austrians, who can't put out a fire in the backyard, will have no energy to manage the Apennines. At this time, there seems to be nothing other than holding the Russian thighs and shouting for help. There is a better way.

At this time, if the diplomatic cooperation is effective, it is almost impossible to squeeze a handful of Austrians, but...

Alexei sighed immediately and said: "Your method is good, but it needs the cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the old fellow Neschel Rodie is definitely impossible to cooperate! It doesn't work at all!"

The enemy is in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is Russia's sorrow now. Getting a German political baton most pro-Austrian to be prime minister and minister of foreign affairs is almost the same as selling himself to Germany.

Li Xiao also knows how difficult it is to deal with Neschel Rody. Before communicating with Leonid’s father, Duke Alexander Gorchakov complained about Neschel Rody’s stubbornness, right. This outsider who is committed to safeguarding Austria's interests is very dissatisfied.

It’s a pity that even Alexander Gorchakov has nothing to do with Nesher Rody. After all, Nicholas I was still superstitious of his coordination policy, and clinging to the Holy Alliance and not letting go, was really frustrating. Sigh endlessly.

But what? Li Xiao didn't give up completely. If it were before he crossed, without him as a spoiler, it is estimated that Russia's foreign policy would be a little girl dressed casually by Neschel Rody.

But now with his participation, the trajectory of history has changed a lot. The changes in Wallachia and Moldavia are obvious. Russia has already made a lot of benefits in it and forced Austria to do it. Major concessions. Now think of a way to go further. It is difficult and difficult to say but easy and easy to say. Why is the matter?

And after all, Li Xiao knows Carlo Alberto's ambitions and Italians' ambitions, and knows how the historical process develops. How difficult can it be to help build a fire with the trend?

“It’s naturally not so easy for the old fellow Neschel Rodie to cooperate,” Li Xiao replied in an unhurried manner, “but why should we force him to cooperate? The last time we acted in Wallachia, Lao Does the guy cooperate with us?"

Alexei and Vishnyak shook their heads together. Last time Neschel Rody was forced by the general situation to have no choice but to surrender obediently. But can there be any general momentum this time? After all, Nicholas I did not intend to oppress Austria too hard!

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Although my uncle is the one who makes the final decision, there are certain things that even the emperor is involuntary. You said that if Paskovic and Duke Mikhail go together , Make a big cake together, can he stop it?"

Alexei couldn't help but said, "The problem is that Paskovic can't follow your command!"

Li Xiao replied confidently: "I didn't plan to command him either? I believe that old guy will follow his feelings. When a great contribution is placed in front of him, I don't believe he will refuse. may!"

Alexei and Vishnyak snorted ~www.ltnovel.com~ because this is in line with Paskovic’s character. In order to grab credit in the Caucasus, he did not fail to construct Yermolov. The old guy really does nothing.

"How to do it?"

Li Xiao replied: "We have to encourage Carlo Alberto to make him firm up early. That's why I asked you if you have anything to use in the Kingdom of Sardinia or the Apennines!"

Alexei replied: "There is a relationship. The question is how do you plan to use it?"

Alexei was a little worried that Li Xiao was playing with fire, so he was going to listen to Li Xiao’s idea before making a decision. If someone is too out of line, then he will say no decisively, lest someone is playing hard. Yourself.

It's just that Alexei's careful thoughts can't hide from Li Xiao at all. He knows this friend very well. Sometimes he is a little too courageous, but sometimes he is a little too reckless!

So he replied: "How is it used? It's very simple. It is naturally propaganda and instigation. It is necessary to encourage the Italians!"
