Struggle in Russia

Cavour thinks he still has some research on international relations. In his opinion, the Holy League headed by Russia and Austria is the number one enemy of the unification of Italy.

Since it is the enemy, how could Russia allow Italy to complete its reunification? Isn't this a dream?

But what Cavour didn’t expect was that the magical little partner actually replied with a nose and eyes: “What you said is the old calendar. I’m afraid the Holy Alliance is dead in name. According to my understanding, it was for the Balkans. Interest, the relationship between Russia and Austria is very tense...In exchange for Russia to send troops to help suppress the domestic revolution, Austria reluctantly made a big concession..."

"What does this mean? It shows that the relationship between Russia and Austria is not as good as before. For its own benefit, it is not impossible for Russia to wear small shoes to Austria!"

Cavour thought for a while, combined with the news he had received before, and fell into deep thought. Because he did receive relevant information, it showed that Austria had suffered a lot on the Wallachia and Moldavia issues. Later, on related issues in Austria, Russia also exerted great pressure on Austria. .

Although the intelligence did not reveal exactly what Russia exerted pressure on Austria, it can be confirmed that Schwarzenberg, who now controls the Austrian regime, is strongly dissatisfied with Russian interference internally. The tension in the relationship is definitely not groundless.

If the relations between Russia and Austria are really tense, then Italy can indeed make a fuss about related issues. If Russia’s attempt to interfere with Austria is still relatively strong, it is indeed possible for Wan to sit back and watch Italy become more chaotic, just taking advantage of the opportunity to intensify and threaten Austria to seek more benefits.

It's just that Cavour didn't dare to block how strong this Russian ambition was. He was more accustomed to making decisions and then acting instead of placing hope on fluke.

So he replied: "This tendency and may indeed be a good phenomenon, but it cannot be assumed that Russia will definitely part ways with Austria... We cannot pin our hopes on possible opportunities... If there is no more conclusive evidence to support it. , I think we should deal with it carefully."

This answer naturally disappoints those who have placed a lot of hope on this. Who doesn't want the enemy to be more unlucky, who doesn't want to be more lucky? As long as there is so little hope, who wants to sit back and watch the opportunity slip away?

However, Cavour did not say anything to death. Instead, he suggested: "Of course I am not willing to take measures... But we must first confirm that this is really a good opportunity? We should start our relationship in Russia to test or say. Try to contact the Russians, make certain contacts, and then make a decision! Instead of acting blindly just because of a little so-called sign and possibility!"

Cavour's words can be regarded as old-fashioned words for the country. It is true that national affairs should not be too impulsive, and Italy has learned a lot in this regard. Many times the noodles are indeed too impulsive!

In fact, it is not only Cavour who opposes blind action immediately, but Mazzini, who is as far away as Rome, also opposes placing his hopes on Russia. In other words, he is fundamentally opposed to contact with Russia for the following reasons:

"As we all know, Russia is notoriously opposed to the revolution and notoriously conservative. They are the mortal enemy of the revolution and our enemy! How can we cooperate with the enemy? It's like the cat and the mouse cannot be friends! It is inexplicable and irresponsible to put forward this idea! I firmly oppose it!"

Obviously Mazzini is still following the ideological stream. In his eyes, black is black, black is black, and white is white. Even if Russia is doing something that may be beneficial to the unification of Italy, Russia still It is a reactionary and counter-revolutionary, so Russia is evil and still an enemy!

And he is firmly opposed to cooperating with the enemy, he impassionedly preached: "The only thing we can rely on is the vast number of Italian compatriots and other revolutionaries and revolutionary governments in the world who sympathize with us! For example, the French government, which has always supported revolutionary progress, has only Revolutionary countries will help us! France is our natural ally!"

This is really taken for granted, because the second French Republic really only has the name of a republic, which is essentially incompatible with the revolution of 1848. This regime is not a revolutionary regime, but can be said to be opposed to revolution. The first task after the establishment of this republic is to suppress the revolution, not to open up the revolution.

This was manifested in the Italian Revolution and the War of Unification. When the Roman people began armed struggle under Mazzini's initiative, the first opposition was the Second French Republic. This republic is not Mazzini's friend at all, it is simply unreliable. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

It is a pity that Mazzini is still very naive now, thinking that the French are revolutionary and are on the side of the revolutionaries. And Russia and Austria are one, and they are enemies that cannot speak.

As a result, the olive branch concealed by Duke Alexander Gorchakov was ignored by the Italians themselves. If Cavour hadn't completely closed the door, he would really be enthusiastic and boring.

To be honest, the Duke of Alexander was also very disappointed, because he originally thought that the Italians would be more kind and seize opportunities. After all, according to his observations over the years, the Italians are very dishonest. They have not dealt with Austria. Try to get rid of Austrian control. Now that Austria is lame, and Russia has released an ambiguous signal, there is no reason to be indifferent!

Looking at the motionless Italian, the Duke of Alexander was speechless. He didn't know what was wrong with this bunch of noodles. He spent so much effort releasing so many signals and helping to set up the stage in a seven-seven-and-seven manner. But how could the protagonist refuse to appear behind the scenes? Isn't this a desperate person!

And he couldn't wait any longer, let alone contact Italy blatantly. After all, Nicholas I and Neschel Rodie were still staring at him, and he was already doing something extraordinary, and the two had to blow up if they were too much.

The Duke of Alexander really looked forward to the Italians! If he could know that Cavour suggested contact and temptation, then he would really burst into tears with joy. But the problem is that the relationship between Italy or the Kingdom of Sardinia and Russia is really just like that. The related channels and connections are very nonsense. At this moment, I don’t know who to look for in Russia. Naturally, the Duke of Alexander will have to wait a while. ...
