Struggle in Russia

After saying goodbye to Jan Constantine, Li Xiao was ready to set off soon, because time was really tight, because Duke Mikhail Gorchakov had already launched operations against Wallachia and Moldavia. Relationship, Paskovic must also be hungry and thirsty over there, do not rule out the possibility of this product speeding up action to take credit.

So just in case, Li Xiao can only act as soon as possible, but he has opinions about his departure from Alexei:

"Andreka, is it necessary to go this trip to Austria? According to your plan, I am afraid that it will offend both the Austrians and Paskovic and His Majesty. This is very risky!"

Indeed, if Li Xiao's actions are exposed, neither Nicholas I nor Paskovic will be furious. But the problem is that Li Xiao is definitely worth it. His plan is more beneficial to Russia and more beneficial to himself, so why bother those two guys who are happy or not happy?

If you have to get used to those two guys in everything, then he is still alive, I am afraid he will be happiest after Nicholas I died. So why make that guy happy is to find him awkward, for his own benefit and for the benefit of the whole, he just wants to kill the Austrian!

"The greater the risk, the greater the gain. It is in our best interest to do so. Austria must be weakened. This **** stick is really annoying! So we must go!"

Li Xiao knew very well that if Alexei knew what he really wanted to do this trip, then this good friend would be even more apprehensive, because he only told Alexei to go to Vienna for Alexander Gorchakov. The Duke made suggestions and did not say that he would contact Gergai Artur, let alone assist Gergai Artur to fight against the Austrian army and Paskovic.

Of course, this is not all. Li Xiao wants to do more. This time he plans to get in touch with the Prussians, because he and Duke Alexander Gorchakov are not enough to attack and weaken Austria. The power of the country makes a comprehensive push, so that it can really weaken Austria, rather than hurt it.

Today Prussia’s life is not easy, and Berlin is in chaos due to revolutionary relations. It’s just that Prussia is stronger than Austria’s. It’s not a fragmented jigsaw puzzle, and there is no ethnic minorities and no interference from external forces. Prussian economic and industrial foundations are also Not bad, so after the initial crisis, Prussia can survive.

But the ambition of the Prussians is far more than this. The great history guys afterwards know that, seeing Austria’s chance of being hit hard by the revolution, Prussia is ready to compete with Austria for control of the German states. Then, because of Russia’s intervention, Austria was humiliated and forced to sign the "Olmitz Treaty", so he could only be Austria’s younger brother.

Although Prussia's efforts in history were not successful, it also gave Li Xiao a possibility that Prussia was unwilling to be the younger brother of Austria and consciously began to fight for the leadership of Germany.

Actually, this is also very understandable, because the Hohenzollern family has been ambitious throughout the generations. From the remote northern corner of the small earl gradually became the elector, and then step by step became the second only among the German states. Because of the existence of the Habsburg family.

In fact, Frederick the Great dug the corner of Austria more than a hundred years ago. In those days, Queen Teresa had just ascended the throne to become the Grand Prince of Austria, and the kings of Hungary and Bohemia declared war on Austria within a few days. , Directly occupied Bohemia.

This directly turned the two "brother states" into enemies of life and death, and Frederick the Great became the enemy of Queen Teresa for life. So don't look at the back because the rise of Napoleon forced Prussia and Austria to resist hand in hand, but the tradition of brother Ni Qiang actually existed for a long time.

For the enterprising Prussia, the Austrian and Habsburg families are already synonymous with decadence. The belief that this family no longer has the power to represent Germany is naturally coveting the leadership of Germany.

In the past, because of the existence of the Holy Alliance and the stability of each country, Prussia could not behave like a demon. It can only be watched, but this time Austria is in a mess. If you don’t take the opportunity to engage in a wave of things, it’s really useless. The bloodline of Frederick the Great!

Li Xiao believes that the Prussians are definitely willing to cooperate. There is only one German and there cannot be two leaders. Political freaks and zombies like Habsburgs should be sent to the grave soon.

Therefore, during this trip to Hungary, Li Xiao still had the purpose of not telling anyone. He was going to contact Prussia to dig a hole for Austria. This must be done more secretly, even Duke Alexander Gorchakov probably cannot Disclosure, after all, this thing is too big.

And looking at the trend of history, although Nicholas I was closer to Prussia's relatives, at the critical moment, this guy was more inclined to Austria. However, Li Xiao guessed that it was not because Nicholas I was more in love with Austria, but because he was more in love with tradition.

After all, according to tradition, the Habsburg family is the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, that is, Germany. In particular, Nicholas I, who believed that the monarchs and ministers were in order, naturally could not tolerate the following offenses by the Prussians, even if the Habsburg family really declined~www.ltnovel.com~ this would not work either!

If everyone learns from Prussia, Nicholas I was very worried that one day such unlucky things would happen in Russia and to his descendants, so he firmly opposed Prussia's bad start.

It’s just that it’s not that simple to contact Prussia, because Li Xiao doesn’t matter at all. He doesn’t even know the upper-class political elites in Prussia, but the old saying goes that he depends on his parents and friends at home. Li Xiao thinks he still has a few friends. That lovely uncle David Lebeuf.

"You want to contact the Prussians?"

David Lebeuf was also a little surprised, but when Li Xiao explained the reason, his eyes lit up. What does the French hate most? Naturally it is the Holy Alliance, and it would be great if it could instigate infighting within the Holy Alliance.

"It's your Uncle David!" David Lebeuf replied, patting his chest, "Well, I'll go with you this time, so I can directly cooperate with you!"

Li Xiao naturally knows why David Lebeuf is enthusiastic. Although this strange uncle spoils the current French government all day long, in fact, he still loves France at the root, and things that are beneficial to France are naturally obligatory!
