Struggle in Russia

Schwarzenberg is quite confident about going to the appointment this time, mainly because other nobles around have expressed support for the abolition of Li, and he has also reached a preliminary agreement with Princess Sophie. He feels that he has spoken well. It is clear that as long as Princess Sophie is not stupid, she knows how to choose.

Now that Austria has basically reached a consensus, negotiating with external forces is naturally more confident. As long as the Russians understand that this is a common choice within Austria, even if they have opinions, they can only hold back.

Anyway, Schwarzenberg was quite confident, but he was immediately poured a bucket of cold water on his head by Duke Alexander Gorchakov.

The talks were held in the office of Duke Alexander Gorchakov. Just after the greeting, the Duke said very seriously and meticulously: "Your Excellency, the reason why you are so anxious to ask you to come over is mainly because the Tsar of our country has recently heard something very unpleasant. Good rumors, continue your explanation!"

Schwarzenberg was taken aback, because Duke Alexander Gorchakov was very strong from the beginning, which made him somewhat unable to parry. He also had some doubts about what made Nicholas I so serious, and specifically ordered Duke Alexander Gorchakov to call him over to clarify.

Therefore, he also stood up and replied solemnly, "Really? Then, your Excellency, what is the reason why your emperor needs to explain?"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov said with a stern face, and solemnly said: "His Majesty the Tsar of our country has recently heard some very bad rumors. It seems that a small group of your country’s officials are trying to carry out a coup and try to subvert Emperor Ferdinand I. Your Majesty’s reign! These rumors make him very uneasy. As a friend of Austria and a close comrade-in-arms of His Majesty the Emperor Ferdinand I, he has the responsibility and obligation to maintain the authority and rule of His Majesty Ferdinand I!"

Schwarzenberg's heart throbbed, and he immediately felt uncomfortable. Although the abolition of the establishment has been basically agreed within the circle of Austrian dignitaries, it does not mean that you can sit back and relax.

This matter happens to be at the most critical and sensitive juncture. If it attracts high attention from abroad, it will be bad. But why did this incident suddenly reach the ears of Nicholas I, thousands of miles away?

Schwarzenberg squinted at Duke Alexander Gorchakov, who was sitting on the opposite side. He knew that he must have nothing to do with the old fox Duke. He was definitely the one who told Nicholas I of the news. Add your fuel and vinegar, otherwise Nicholas I would not be so serious.

[Hey! 】

Schwarzenberg gnashed his teeth in his heart and hated Duke Alexander Gorchakov more and more. It's just one thing to hate it, but another thing to deal with.

"Is there such a rumor?" Schwarzenberg pretended to be surprised, and said indignantly: "It is simply appalling, this is definitely a vicious attack by a villain with ulterior motives! Maybe it was concocted by the Hungarian rebels. Rumors are aimed at messing up our country and separating the relationship between our country and your country!"

This attitude can't coax Duke Alexander Gorchakov, to be honest, this acting is not as good as Princess Sophie! So he just said indifferently: "Really? It's just a rumor? Can you guarantee it? After all, the Emperor of our country is very concerned and cannot tolerate a little omission!"

Schwarzenberg feels a toothache. As long as Duke Alexander Gorchakov is really good, he can’t fool things. After all, Russia is now the father of Austria’s finances. You can offend anyone but you must never offend the finances’ father, right? !

But Schwarzenberg cannot give in. After all, they have basically reached an agreement internally, and Archduke Franz Joseph is already the perfect monarch in their minds. At this time, changing the flag to the flag is not easy to explain!

So he decided to test the bottom line of Duke Alexander Gorchakov first. If the other party is just a fancy, maybe he will withstand it?

"Duke, although I have always believed that your country is a good friend that Austria will never leave. But there is still a difference between friends and family. As a friend, not interfering in other countries’ family affairs is the most basic quality, and now your country seems to have Plans to cross the line!"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov unhurriedly moved the tea bowl, and slowly said: "That's just what you think. All actions in our country are within the legal and moral framework, but some of your actions have already Beyond the bottom line of law and morality! I warn you one last time, hurry up and rein in the cliff! Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences!"

Schwarzenberg’s eyes were cold. This level of warning didn’t scare him, but it didn’t mean he could ignore it. After thinking about it, he asked, "Duke, why can’t I understand what you’re talking about? What?"

And Duke Alexander Gorchakov directly interrupted his pretending to be stupid. UU Read www.uukanshu.com said unceremoniously: "You understand, just pretending to be stupid!"

Schwarzenberg was caught off guard by Duke Alexander Gorchakov's directness, and the meaning expressed by such a move made him stop and think carefully. Because every word he says must be done carefully!

After a while, he decided to continue to fool things and try his luck: "Your words are getting more and more weird. I really don't understand why you are so..."

It's just that Duke Alexander Gorchakov immediately used the strongest means to make him understand that he could not fool things and his luck was also very bad:

"Your Excellency, if you don't respect our traditional friendship, just take your hypocritical position, and I will let you get out! Since you don't want the last dignity of the nobility, then I will speak more clearly!"

"Stop your despicable actions immediately! His Majesty Emperor Ferdinand I is the legal ruler of the Austrian Empire recognized and respected by our Tsar! His position does not allow several despicable conspirators and villains to desecrate! Stop you! That ridiculously careful thought!"

"The great Russian Empire will defend the position of His Majesty Emperor Ferdinand I and will not allow anyone to harm this sympathetic and gentle ruler! If you dare to do anything wrong, you will taste the terrible Russian anger! "

Having said this, Duke Alexander Gorchakov said coldly to Schwarzenberg: "Now you understand and understand!"

At this moment, Schwarzenberg is already sweating coldly, because Duke Alexander Gorchakov is no less than an earthquake or a tsunami, he knows he is in big trouble!
