Struggle in Russia

How could Duke Alexander Gorchakov have no other demands, otherwise, why would he help Wendyschgretz and Schwarzenberg after being so busy?

Of course, guaranteeing that Grand Duke Franzkar will come to power is itself part of Russia's aspirations. As long as this is achieved, this trip will not be considered a loss. This is the bottom line!

However, if you can get more things, Duke Alexander Gorchakov is also willing to accept, after all, the better the conditions, the greater his credit, and the happier Nicholas I will be.

Therefore, he suddenly said: "Our country hopes to establish a deeper strategic relationship with Austria and become an all-weather ally. We hope that the two countries can coordinate and respond to international issues with a consistent tone!"

After a short pause, Duke Alexander Gorchakov glanced at Princess Sophie and saw that the other party was listening carefully, and then slowly said: "For example, the Turkish issue, such as the Holy City issue, such as the Balkan Slavic issue, such as the Caucasus issue. On these issues, our country hopes to reach a comprehensive agreement with Austria to advance and retreat together!"

Princess Sophie listened very carefully. You can say that Austria can accept these conditions, but it is okay, but it is a bit aggrieved. Especially the Turkish and Balkan issues, which are also the interests of Austria's most concern. If too much concession is made to Russia in this regard, it may not be easy to explain in the country.

Although Princess Sophie has never been in power, she has also attended many regency committee meetings with her nerd husband over the years. Although I hate Metternich, who has always occupied the position of prime minister and domineering, Princess Sophie must also admit that the old fox has a very high level and has maintained Austria's international interests very well.

The impact of Metternich's Balkan policy is particularly far-reaching. At least Princess Sophie feels that she is unable to surpass the old prime minister. Once the fragile balance built by the old prime minister is broken, it may cause a chain reaction like dominoes!

So she asked carefully: "So what is your country's new position on Turkey and the Balkans?"

[Really a shrewd woman! The men of the Habsburg family are not good, and the level of marrying a wife is quite high! 】

After Duke Alexander Gorchakov sighed in his heart, he pondered for a moment and replied: "The Balkan problem is complicated. If you act rashly, it may naturally cause a chain reaction... Our country has no intention of seeking greater interests in the Balkans, but in view of Your country’s civil strife has greatly depleted its strength, and the Balkan balance maintained by Russia and Austria has become extremely fragile due to the decline of your country’s strength..."

"So the most realistic way is to temporarily replace your country to increase its interference in the Balkans, so as to contain Turkey and balance British and French interference. When your country recovers from the civil strife, then gradually restore the previous balance, what do you think?"

Princess Sophie is not stupid. I can hear the words insincere. Austria's concession is naturally taken over by Russia. Even if Austria recovers its vitality in the future, this piece will not be able to be taken back. Someone’s current rhetoric is nothing more than Liu Bei’s excuse for borrowing from Jingzhou.

But, Princess Sophie can't object, because the current situation is that even if Austria does not agree, Russia can bite off to achieve the goal, and the result is the same. Anyway, as long as the face is justified for her.

She said lightly: "If it is what you said, this plan is not unacceptable!"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov laughed and said: "If you agree, I think the relationship between the two countries will soon take a step forward, and we will become a true brotherly country!"

Regarding this, Princess Sophie just smiled. She doesn’t really care about the country of brotherhood. What she cares about is only her own interests, so she replied: "I believe it will be as you said... Then other jobs are Hand it to you?"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov laughed and said: "I will do the persuasion work in general. It is only necessary for you and the Grand Duke to express their views at the right time!"

At this moment, Princess Sophie really breathed a sigh of relief. After sending off Duke Gorchakov, she let out a long sigh. She knew that she had grasped the vein of fate for the first time. Destiny is no longer controlled by others.

But after suddenly relaxed, she couldn't help feeling a little sorry for her eldest son. Compared with the demented husband, she still cared more about her son. When she thought of depriving her son of the opportunity to immediately become emperor for her own benefit, she felt a little embarrassed on her face.

But soon she persuaded herself: "Joseph is still young, and sooner or later this position will be his. I will help to lay the foundation first!"

On the other side, Duke Alexander Gorchakov bid farewell to Princess Sophie~www.ltnovel.com~ could not help but compare a victory sign on the carriage. This time he finally defeated Neschel Roddy for a while. As the **** of Princess Philip, Austrian politics will not be able to get rid of the influence of Russia in the future. It is impossible for the old guy to think of empty gloves white wolf.

This unexpected victory was really important to Duke Alexander Gorchakov. For the first time in this life, he defeated Neschel Rodie, which means that Neschel Rodie is no longer the strong power to overwhelm. He is a prime minister, but just an old man at dusk. As long as we continue to make persistent efforts in the future, the old guy is not far from leaving the bed.

Of course, Duke Alexander Gorchakov did not get complacent. Although this was a turning point victory, it only ushered in a turning point, and the final victory is far, far away. And now he still has a lot of work to do, and it is too early to be happy now.

"Post an invitation to Schwarzenberg and tell him that I invite him to come over!"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov knew very well that the real victory needed to persuade Schwarzenberg, and only if the little fox was dealt with could he force Austria to submit. In order to prevent nights and dreams, it would be better to deal with him quickly!

At the same time, Schwarzenberg actually wanted to talk to Duke Alexander Gorchakov, because his plan with Wendy Schgretz had reached the most critical moment. He felt that he had convinced Princess Sophie. Now just let the Russians also nod their heads to understand, and then we can talk to Princess Mariaanna about the abdication of Ferdinand I.

Now that the Russians take the initiative to ask, he just happened to be generous to the appointment, it is time to show the Russians the results of his recent work...
