Struggle in Russia

While Schwarzenberg was planning various conspiracies against Grand Duke Franzcar in his heart, Prince Alexander Gorchakov was also watching him.

In fact, since Schwarzenberg made the request just now, Duke Alexander Gorchakov probably guessed what he wanted to do. In this regard, the Duke naturally snorted in his heart disdainfully.

[At this level, have you come out of mixed politics? Engage in diplomacy? Are you really a fool as a diplomat? Are you conspiring? Naive! 】

To be honest, in the opinion of Duke Alexander Gorchakov, all European countries are younger brothers when it comes to court conspiracies. Let’s look at how many court conspiracies we have experienced in Russia over the past two centuries. There are several emperors who have been conspired to death. , Play this with me? It's really a trick!

It didn't take three seconds for Duke Alexander Gorchakov to guess what Schwarzenberg was going to do. The question was how could he make the other party what he wanted! I really thought that he had no special conditions to pay Princess Sophie because of generosity!

Duke Alexander Gorchakov could see that the Grand Duchess is definitely a good hand in court battles. As long as she tastes the taste of power, she will soon become addicted, and then she will never be able to do without this intoxication. feel.

At that time, the Grand Duchess must have written her husband tightly in her palms. Schwarzenberg wanted Grand Duke Franzcar’s life, which was tantamount to grabbing the power from Princess Sophie. Can Princess Philippe spare him?

What's more, in the game of palace fighting, women are inherently superior to men. Especially in the future, Princess Sophie will be a queen. In the palace, she will be her own place. Can Schwarzenberg live in her home court?

So naive!

Duke Alexander Gorchakov felt that Schwarzenberg’s biggest mistake was to underestimate Princess Sophie. He didn’t know how crucial the role of this woman was. He said that the Grand Duchess was the key to victory. , Whoever can win her friendship will naturally win half.

And the stupid Schwarzenberg even ran to threaten to put pressure on him. Didn’t this give his hand to push the victory out the door! And that's why Duke Alexander Gorchakov despised him-short-sighted!

So to Schwarzenberg’s request, he generously agreed: “As long as you abide by the agreement, our government will naturally have no more words... If His Majesty Ferdinand I voluntarily abdicates, then Grand Duke Franz Carr Naturally have the right to inherit the throne!"

After receiving this answer, Schwarzenberg sighed in relief. He was really worried that the Russians insisted that Ferdinand I abdicate, and the problem would be serious. Although Wendy Schgretz can't be completely satisfied now, it can be considered as an explanation, so he has nothing to talk nonsense.

Schwarzenberg was sent away, but Duke Alexander Gorchakov rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and then immediately ordered: "Send invitations to Grand Duke Franzcar and Grand Duchess. I invite them today. Watching the opera tonight..."

Duke Alexander Gorchakov decided to immediately inform Princess Sophie of the good news, and by the way, give the woman a little medicine, so that she must taste the delicacy of power, otherwise the following operations will be impossible.

While Duke Alexander Gorchakov was discussing the following operations with Princess Sophie, he did not know that two special people had also arrived in Vienna on this evening.

One of them is called John Floys. This man is unknown, but his identity is very important, because his master is named Nesher Rody. As Neschel Rodie’s secretary and personal representative, he traveled all the way through Belarus and Poland to Vienna, just to bring Schwarzenberg’s latest news to St. Petersburg.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, I have informed you that His Majesty Nicholas I’s attitude towards Austria has undergone a major change. He is extremely angry about the forced abdication of His Majesty the Emperor Ferdinand I that you advocated! Your Prime Minister has specifically told you that I must Be cautious, otherwise the alliance between Austria and Russia may break down immediately!"

This news was actually known to Schwarzenberg without being notified by John Freud, but Neschel Roddy’s special notice was not meaningless. At least it made him understand that Duke Alexander Gorchakov was not fraudulent. He, Nicholas I was really concerned and angry, and the consequences were extremely serious!

This made him breathe a sigh of relief. He smiled bitterly and said to Wendy Schgretz next to him: "You heard, everything I told you is true!"

Wendy Schgretz's face collapsed in an instant. When Schwarzenberg brought the latest news from Russia, he still didn't quite believe it~www.ltnovel.com~ He thought it was impossible for Russians to be so rude. Really criticize Austria's internal affairs. Thinking that Schwarzenberg was unwilling to support Archduke Franz Joseph, he deliberately made an excuse.

But now, everything is true. The Russians did actually interfere. For a while, he was angry and angry. His face was green and red for a while, just like a neon sign.

It took a long time to hear him stand up abruptly and exclaimed: "The Slavic barbarians are so deceptive!"

Wendy Schgritz is full of anger, but the expressions of Johann Freud and Schwarzenberg are worth pondering. One expression was indifferent and silent, as if he hadn't heard Wendy Schgretz's roar, and the other with a sneer seemed a little relaxed.

The one who didn’t say a word was John Freus. Although he is also an Austrian, his relationship with Austria is not so great anymore. His host is now the Prime Minister of Russia and he is eating Russian food. His relationship with Russia is also very deep.

It is not very important to say whether Austria is dead or alive. He is only carrying out the order of Neschel Rodie, naturally not as empathetic as Wendy Schgritz.

As for Schwarzenberg, his most angry moment has passed long ago. He had been mad at Duke Alexander Gorchakov earlier, and now he has accepted reality. Moreover, Wendy Schgretz was stunned by Wendy Schgretz because of the unfavorable negotiation. He said to the heart that if the two were not relatives and the other had military power, he would have turned his face early.

At this moment, with the endorsement of Neschel Rodie, Schwarzenberg's pressure suddenly lightened, and he is now at ease! Where can I be unhappy? Don't even sneer Wendy Schgretz thoughtfully: "I have to see what your kid does now!"
