Struggle in Russia

Nicholas I began to nod again, seeming to be persuaded by Neschel Rodie. This made the old prime minister sigh lightly, as if he had survived some major crisis.

It’s just that he said it too early, because Chernyshov, who was sitting under him, suddenly interjected: “Your Majesty, Prime Minister, according to the latest news we have received, a rebellion broke out in Prague. Officer Alfred Candidos Ferdinand was forced to withdraw from the city..."

This is a bit of a slap, because the Austrian army was reliable after Neschel Roddy had just finished speaking, and he lost Prague on this end.

Of course, Neschel Rodier firmly refused to admit that he was wrong, and immediately fought back: "Your Excellency, this does not mean that the Austrian counterinsurgency operation has failed. This is just General Alfred Candidos Ferdinand. The accumulation of strength to prepare for the counterattack, I believe..."

It’s just that Nesher Rodie was interrupted by Menshkov: "Your Excellency, it seems that there has also been a rebellion in Vienna. Now the Austrian capital is already in chaos, and the rebels in Budapest are also growing. The situation seems Very bad!"

Neschel Rodie really wanted to roar: I know that the situation is very bad, so I hope you Qiu Ba can quickly rescue Austria!

"This is only temporary!" Neschel Rodie retorted, "I believe that His Majesty Ferdinand I will soon be able to regroup. He is not as free and strong as Frederick William IV. He will soon be able to regroup and smooth out the rebels in Vienna!"

Neschel Rody’s forcible explanation was met with unanimous ridicule from Chernyshov and Menshkov. They represented the interests of the military and they could not understand Neschel Rody’s actions:

"Really? Your Excellency, how fast will it be soon? Since Austria will be able to regroup soon, it seems that there is no need to send too many troops to rescue them. After all, they will be able to solve the problem quickly! And our finances It’s also more nervous, it’s a little bit to save it!

Neschel Rodie almost vomited blood, because he is now in a dilemma. He has to tell Nicholas I that Austria is a key ally and must do all he can to rescue him, and he has to tell him that Austria is still very reliable and that the fighting power is guaranteed to help. Go to Russia a lot.

But the problem is that these two points are self-contradictory. If you must try your best to rescue it, it means that the situation in Austria is very bad. Naturally, the combat effectiveness of the Austrian regular army is just like that, and naturally it cannot be said how reliable it is.

Nicholas I could naturally discover the contradiction, so he convened an imperial conference to discuss the future of Austria. Of course, this is not to say that he has given up his heart or disappointment to Austria. It is his creed to rescue Austria and maintain the Holy Alliance. This is impossible to change. The real intention of his meeting is whether he can help Austria and make more money for Russia. Many benefits.

Nicholas I, who had tasted the sweetness of Wallachia, was a bit dissatisfied with the verbal thanks from the Austrians. If the form of this group of goods is so bad that it burns eyebrows, can it be better?

In a sense, the purpose of Duke Alexander's letter has been achieved, and he successfully aroused the greed of Nicholas I.

Nicholas I, who was dominated by greed, could not be fooled by Neschel Rodi. If the prime minister did not give a reasonable explanation, this test would not pass at all.

Of course, Neschel Rodie is not a cat or a dog. He still has real skills. At least he knows what Nicholas I fears the most, so he promptly resorted to his assassin:

"Rescue Austria is not a matter of money. It is related to the overall situation of Europe. If we don't help Austrian allies and sit back and watch the rebels grow and develop, it will be an out-and-out disaster!"

This blow is really beautiful. It is not just talking about the heart of Nicholas I, even Chernyshov and Menshkov have to admit that assisting Austria is tantamount to hitting the Revolutionary Party. This is politically correct. This is the glorious mission of Russia under the leadership of Nicholas I!

Suddenly these two were speechless, and it naturally made Neschel Rodi a little proud. The old man couldn't help but snorted in his heart: "A bunch of scums, there are kinds of you guys keep beeping!"

It’s just that this pride didn’t last long, because the Duke of Ordorf immediately spoke: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, didn’t you say that Austria will soon regroup and eliminate the rebels? If this is the case, it means that they don’t need too much. Help! Since they can handle the rebels themselves, how could these people cause the disaster you mentioned?"

Neschel Rodie stared at the Duke of Ordorf, if his eyes could turn into a sharp blade, then the Duke of Ordorf would have been cut by him.

But the problem is that ferocious eyes can't solve any practical problems. At least Neschel Rody can't justify himself. Although his rhythm was good just now, he can fool Menshkov and Cherneshov to shut up, but they can't hide it. Shrewd Aldorf.

"This...this..."

Neschel Rodie was a little bit poor, especially when Nicholas I paid his attention again, the cunning old fox was also a little panicked.

It’s just that when Nicholas I found out that the old man was a bit poor, he did not choose to chase it~www.ltnovel.com~, but to excuse Neschel Rodi: “Duke, it is an established national policy to rescue Austria. There is no need to continue the discussion... Regardless of whether Austria can quickly eliminate the rebels on its own, I have decided to give assistance. This does not need to be discussed again!"

These words immediately made Neschel Rodie breathe a sigh of relief, and he was a little touched by Nicholas I’s timely rain, but this touch came and went quickly, because Nicholas I said next:

"But how to rescue Austria, how to assist Austria at the least cost, and to better safeguard our country's interests while completing the rescue work, this needs to be discussed again!"

Neschel Rodie suddenly turned into a bitter face. He understood what Nicholas I meant, that is, it is possible to rescue Austria, and there is no doubt, but Austria must pay the corresponding price, and Russia cannot work for nothing. .

And this is not what Neschel Rodie wants to see. He really wants Russia to be vainly voted for by Austria, and by sacrificing Russia to achieve the role of maintaining the authority of Austria and Germany.

So he immediately said: "Your Majesty, is it too unreasonable to do this? If you let the royal families of various countries know, it doesn't seem to be very beautiful!"
