Struggle in Russia

The atmosphere is a bit cold. Neither Duke Alexander Gorchakov nor Schwarzenberg have the intention to speak, but the former is so busy that he can take care of each other, so he doesn’t have to say anything in a hurry, while the latter really doesn’t know what to say .

Schwarzenberg felt that he was so difficult. He had bad cards in his hands. It was either a minor third or a minor fourth. It was not enough to be despised by others. As for simply lifting the table and announcing that it is not playing?

Sorry, he is not a firecracker like Wendy Schgretz, he explodes at one point. Although he is not a serious politician, he is still qualified to be a politician. The biggest difference between a politician and a firecracker is that a firecracker has a bottom line while a politician has no bottom line.

Although Schwarzenberg was upset, he was still able to endure it. After a while, he said dullly: "Even if your country is self-sufficient on the issues of Wallachia and Moldavia, it does not require our country's understanding and tolerance. , But is your country so sure that it can run rampant in the Balkans? The Holy Alliance is indispensable. Once this alliance ceases to exist, can your country be so confident?"

Schwarzenberg still decided to test it out to see what the Russians' attitude towards the Holy League is. If the opponent is really strong, then he can only raise his hand to surrender, but what if the opponent is not so confident? Then naturally you can bargain!

Duke Alexander Gorchakov raised his eyelids. He knew exactly what Schwarzenberg wanted to do. He also admired the alertness of this little fox, because Nicholas I and Neschel Rodiey Exist, he really can't say that he doesn't need the Holy Alliance anymore.

But Duke Alexander Gorchakov is not a soft-footed shrimp. As an ambassador, he must do his best to safeguard the interests of Russia, or to protect the interests of Russia by all means, which includes lying and fooling.

"Your Excellency, do you mean to tell me that Austria is ready to withdraw from the Holy League?"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov did not directly answer Schwarzenberg’s question, but went against an army. He knew very well that although Schwarzenberg’s power is not small now, he is not yet qualified to be the master of the house. He is not qualified to be a representative for such a major event.

However, Schwarzenberg apparently also has two brushes. In the face of rhetorical questions, he did not change his face and replied calmly: "If the Holy League cannot protect Austria's security and legal rights, then this alliance will naturally not exist. It's necessary!"

Isn’t it just talk and blackmail? This set of Schwarzenberg is also very familiar. It’s not bad for Duke Alexander Gorchakov to be able to play with him. Anyway, everyone is just talking and not taking action. , What's wrong with talking!

Schwarzenberg felt that he had acted tough enough, and as long as the Russians were almost emboldened, they would naturally give in. What he didn't expect was that Duke Alexander Gorchakov was tougher than he thought.

The Duke put down the teacup without hurriedly, and said naturally: "In this case, we have nothing to discuss. Please your country as soon as possible to initiate a proposal to terminate the "Declaration of the Holy Alliance", and our country should prepare accordingly in advance. !"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov’s calmness was something Schwarzenberg couldn’t think of even if he wanted to break his head. He was told directly that you would quit. How else would he play? Either really leave the alliance or accept the blackmail honestly, there is no third way.

Schwarzenberg was itching with hatred. He knew that Duke Alexander Gorchakov was a threat. He saw that Austria did not dare to withdraw from the Holy League, and that he would take Austria. This kind of powerlessness makes him feel helpless in the political circle. He can now feel the helplessness of Metternich in the most glorious era of Napoleon. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are useless.

Schwarzenberg didn't know how to end it, and it was a bit embarrassing to stop Duke Alexander Gorchakov, but if he didn't keep the opponent, how would it end if the opponent told the country that Austria was preparing to withdraw from the Holy League.

Schwarzenberg heard from Neschel Rodiet that the Duke in front of him has no good impression of Austria. He is an anti-Austrian in Russia who advocates tough against Austria. I am afraid that Austria will take the initiative to retreat. Then you can encourage Nicholas I to go around fooling around during the Austrian civil strife.

Schwarzenberg would not do such a stupid thing. Soon his professional "ethics" overcame the so-called shame. He quickly called Duke Alexander Gorchakov:

"Duke, what I'm talking about is hypothetical. The purpose is to draw your attention. Because of your country’s robbery policy, the normal European order since 1815 is collapsing... This will be a disaster! There is no such disaster! People can take care of themselves, including your country!"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov snorted in his heart, knowing that Schwarzenberg was a dead duck with a stiff mouth. This was just verbal excuses for his last stubbornness. However, he was not prepared to push the opponent too hard, just enough. Anyway, it is impossible to kill Austria with a hammer. His purpose is to take advantage of the fire and steal more political benefits in the Austrian civil unrest.

"It is a disaster for you and your country! But it is not for our country!" Duke Alexander Gorchakov first refuted it~www.ltnovel.com~ Now European countries are looking forward to our country's assistance. , I look forward to our country’s help to restore normal order... And our country’s capacity is limited. If Austria doesn’t respect or appreciate our country’s assistance, then there is no need for our country’s warm face and cold ass. It can definitely help those who know how to be more grateful. . "

Schwarzenberg's face darkened again, and he would have to be mad at Duke Alexander Gorchakov, so it is meaningless to continue to be hard-headed, let alone talk about some more practical issues.

So he skipped this topic and suddenly said: "Our two countries have common interests in many aspects, such as resisting the oppression of Britain and France, such as resisting the infiltration of pagans in the Balkans..."

After giving a few examples, Schwarzenberg said again: "I think our next cooperation should seek common ground while reserving differences, and we should understand each other more, instead of doing the opposite!"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov smiled slightly and said: "I agree with what you said about seeking common ground while reserving differences and understanding each other! When your country has no time to pay attention to the interests of Christians in the Balkans, our country should preside over justice on behalf of the people. We should understand each other! Only we understand each other. Cooperating with each other can better safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Christians in the region, right?"
