Struggle in Russia

Vol 2 Chapter 519: Persuade (in)

If Paskovic knew that Duke Alexander Gorchakov and Li Xiao were working together to yin him, he would definitely vomit blood. Of course, that one is not a good bird. He has always made trouble for Duke Mikhail in the dark. Everyone is the big brother, don't laugh, and the second brother is just as dark as the crows in the world.

"What's the situation with Mikhail?"

After having a basic consensus, Duke Alexander Gorchakov did not continue to entangle Bem's affairs. He believed that Li Xiao would be able to handle his hands cleanly. He turned to ask about the situation of the Duke Mikhail, after all, he had just heard that the Duke had lost the battle a while ago.

"We have broken through the Balka Thousand Pass, I believe we will come to Bucharest soon!"

This is the latest situation that Dmitry Bretianu told him. After the loss of the Barkha Thousand Pass, Duke Mikhail immediately accumulated his strength and invested nearly 500 troops and hundreds of artillery bombardments in one fell swoop. Opened Kuzha's defense line and directly penetrated Kuzha. If Kuzha didn't see the situation badly and hurriedly shrink and retreat, it is estimated that this will have to be dumplings.

"That's good!"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov smiled with relief. He knew that as long as Bucharest was taken, Wallachia would not have any strategic support point, and the quelling of the rebellion was just around the corner.

After sighing, he suddenly asked again: "Turks? Why are there no news from them?"

Speaking of this, Wallachia’s counter-insurgency was actually a joint operation between Russia and Turkey, but it has been more than a month since the Russian side was fighting fiercely, while Turkey in the south was tepid and quiet.

"The Turks are still hovering along the Danube River, just acting symbolically!" Li Xiao replied contemptuously: "They probably hope Wallachia will cause us more trouble, so that they can get revenge!"

"cut!"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov also sneered at this. He had long known that the Turks would not do their best. These guys have been fighting with Russia for hundreds of years. I am afraid that the Wallachiians would kill a few more Russians to relieve their hatred. That's good.

The problem is that this kind of thinking is meaningless, because there is no way to divide the fruit without any effort. Although Turkey and Russia have reached an agreement this time, Wallachia's interests must be shared by them. But the problem is that the agreement has always been a piece of paper, and only when your strength is reached can you honor it.

But now Turkey has neither realized the strength nor is willing to make any effort, so it is like a bird like Nicholas I. In the end, I am afraid that Mao will not give them one.

Li Xiao also interrupted at the right time: "Duke, according to your experience, is it possible for us to make Wallachia truly independent this time?"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov took a look at Li Xiao, and did not answer this question immediately, because there were too many things involved, even if it was him, he had to think about it. After a long time, he sighed:

"It's not very likely! After all, we can't do too much... But I think Wallachia's autonomy is likely to be more thorough!"

Li Xiao understood it all when he heard it. More thorough autonomy is the best punishment for the Turks. I am afraid that Wallachia will really just put a name in the Turkish territory. But this is what Turkey asked for itself, but if he is a little serious at the moment, it won't be so miserable.

Of course, from the perspective of Turkey, no effort should be made. After all, they have always believed that Wallachia is their own territory, and it is precisely because of the interference of a bunch of evil neighbors from Russia and Austria that this area will become independent and autonomous.

Now that the evil neighbors are reaping the fruits of their lives, and Turkey is required to help them, how can there be such a good thing. It’s better to pretend to agree and watch the show sincerely.

After talking about Wallachia, Prince Alexander Gorchakov asked again: "Your Excellency, you suddenly came to Vienna. Did you find anything?"

In fact, Duke Alexander Gorchakov wanted to ask more bluntly. He felt that with Li Xiao's personality, he would definitely want to make trouble if he ran a trip in spite of danger. And he is not generally interested in doing things in Austria!

Li Xiao smiled, he really came to do things, because he always thought that he couldn't let Austria go so easily, he had to toss the girl as badly as possible, because this group of goods is too annoying in history, and it shouldn't be tortured They can't solve their hatred!

However, Li Xiao did not directly answer Duke Alexander Gorchakov’s question. Instead, he asked: "You said just now that you have reached an agreement with Grand Duchess Franz Karl, and Schwarzenberg made concessions. , Grand Duke Franz Joseph can no longer succeed directly, can he?"

"Yes!" Duke Alexander Gorchakov nodded calmly, and said: "Although there are some twists and turns~www.ltnovel.com~, it is finally fulfilling the mission!"

Li Xiao nodded again and asked, "Your Excellency, based on your experience and experience, what kind of person is that grand duchess?"

Duke Alexander Gorchakov was lost in thought. He knew that Li Xiao would never aimlessly. Since he asked about Princess Sophie, the princess must have something to pay attention to.

But the question is, why do you ask what kind of person she is? A very beautiful lady? Incomplete or inaccurate. A strong woman who is very intelligent and capable...

Prince Alexander Gorchakov suddenly raised his head and glanced at Li Xiao. He probably understood what Li Xiao meant. No one can be trusted in politics, the only one can be trusted is their own strength.

The fundamental reason why Russia can reap so many benefits in Austria is that the Austrian civil strife has led to a decline in national power. Otherwise, neither Schwarzenberg nor Princess Sophie would be easy to deal with.

Therefore, even if it is Princess Sophie, who seems to be able to support now, when Austria’s national strength is restored in the future, she might have a bite back. Especially considering her ingenuity and means, it is even more impossible to put all the chips on She was on her.

"Political vision, and scheming, will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal!"

Li Xiao still nodded because his goal had been achieved. He mentioned that Princess Sophie wanted to let Duke Alexander Gorchakov know that this woman was definitely not a good stubborn, and he could not think of her as a happy cooperation now. look forward to. That is too naive politically!

Li Xiao sternly suggested: "Your Excellency, I think this Grand Duchess, we should be more careful. Once she grows up, she might bite us back..."
