Struggle in Russia

The Earl of Brandenburg is also looking for a draw. For Prussia, the weakest in the Holy League, the only way to resist Austria's influence in the German Confederation is to seek support from Russia. Although Russia hasn't really supported him in Austria, it can't really turn his face with Russia.

Therefore, turning a face with a Russian friend is absolutely not allowed, let alone expelling a Russian Grand Duke and the envoy of the Duke of Alexander. If you really want to do this, the Austrians will probably roll around laughing.

Anyway, Frederick William IV wanted to make a mess of Count Brandenburg's face. These days he feels more and more that the new Prime Minister is a bit... how to say? It hurts him a little bit. Dealing with things is too straightforward and will not turn a corner at all, especially when it comes to complex international relations issues, this is as straightforward as a steel man, OK?

Straight men in steel must not be mixed in politics, because politics must have the style of a sea king, must be scum, and the more scum, the better. For example, his second brother is both iron and scumbag, but the only pity is that his luck is not very good...

When Frederick William IV suddenly came to his mind when thinking of William I, the Earl of Brandenburg could not do anything about it. How much should his capable brother do?

"William, what do you do?"

William I was actually waiting for these words! He deliberately attacked the Earl of Brandenburg just now, waiting for this opportunity to perform. He just wanted to let the old man see who could share his worries. It is also to let those who saw his jokes see who can solve these difficult problems.

"I think it's easy!" William I replied confidently. "The Austrians did not express their protest through formal channels. The reason is very simple. It is very likely that they only heard a little bit of wind, which deliberately tried us. If we have a strong reaction, then we should have confirmed their guess, so we should remain calm, on the one hand, resolutely deny it through private channels, and on the other hand, strengthen confidentiality work to prevent the Austrians from realizing anything!"

Frederick William IV frowned, because he was not satisfied with the answer. He is not the same as William I. He is not the kind of king who must compete with Austria to fight to the death. For him It is better to be able to yin Austria, and he will not force it if he cannot achieve his goal. In general, it is the mentality of having a date and not having a date.

With this mentality, Frederick William IV is naturally unwilling to offend the Austrians when the situation is not clear, and William I’s statement just now obviously ignores the attitude of the Austrians and is a bit too tough.

"Ok……"

William I knew his elder brother too well. When he saw him groaning, he knew that he was hesitant and whispering. It is estimated that he wanted to win and was afraid of losing, wanting to be comprehensive and unwilling to take risks. With such a mentality to govern, it is easy to miss opportunities to tell the truth, and it is almost impossible to accomplish much.

Suddenly, William I was a little anxious, and once again persuaded: "I will personally take charge of the relevant confidentiality work, and will never leak the least bit of information! We must not sit back and miss the opportunity!"

Frederick William IV was a little moved again, but he still hesitated. He looked at William I and then at the Earl of Brandenburg, that entanglement!

The Earl of Brandenburg, who was always willing to share his worries for the Lord, immediately couldn't bear it. For him, Frederick William IV had the grace to know and meet him. He could become prime minister only because Frederick William IV was promoted. , So he is a special loyal and special protector, he immediately said:

"Your Majesty, if you are really worried, it's okay to temporarily suspend the negotiations. Anyway, I think the situation in Austria is getting worse and worse. It doesn't matter if we wait until they are exhausted!"

This time Frederick William IV naturally hesitated even more, and William I was so angry that he glared at the Earl of Brandenburg with a pair of eyes, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he almost gave Brandenburg. The earl of Den Burg had a cool heart.

"No!" William I hurriedly interjected, "Radesky just won a big victory in Italy. Maybe it will soon settle the chaos in Italy. Once he returns to Vienna, the Hungarian will be in danger immediately. Now! We must not wait!"

Frederick William IV was in a dilemma. At this time, he really wanted to hand over the crown on his head as soon as possible, because this thing made him breathless.

"I assure you that confidentiality will never be a problem, and the Austrians will never be allowed to use it!"

Under William I’s tireless persuasion, Frederick William IV finally made up his mind and decided to continue to negotiate with Li Xiao, but he did not respond to the Austrian protests as strongly as William I suggested. Bai Lianghe's soft response with a guilty conscience, or it was just a few dry words that palely explained.

Anyway, this is a lack of confidence, and the Austrian side is naturally very unhappy, because the reason why they smuggle through channels to protest is not because they know the situation is not accurate or guessing, but they are now not wiping the shit. Don't dare to offend Prussia to the death, so I choose soft processing.

But who would have thought that Prussia didn't take it to heart at all, and instead explained a few empty words pretendingly, really treating them as fools, and suddenly it was an evil fire with nowhere to vent!

"...Frederick William IV did not take our warnings to heart. From the current situation, they are determined to unite with the anti-Austrian factions inside Russia to cause us trouble. I It is recommended that the country exert positive pressure on Prussia and Russia, and let these eager guys know that we can't fool around!"

Count von Kaunitz’s suggestion was quickly sent back to Vienna, but now the situation is quite special, because Schwarzenberg is still visiting Russia and never came back. Such a big matter must be decided by the Prime Minister. .

In addition, Austria’s advice to Earl von Kaunitz is also inconsistent. There are different opinions. Wendy Schgretz strongly supports Prussia with a strong attitude, but more people still support restraint and calmness. The most important thing right now is not to respond to Prussian provocations, but to counter the domestic rebellion.

Although Radsky had just won a big victory, the Austrian army in Hungary was deflated. In Bratislava, the Austrian army was defeated by the tenacious Artur and was forced to retreat to Vienna.

What is more worrying is that the Russian army led by Paskovic in the north is still blocked to death. It is not easy to have a head-on conflict with Prussia at this time...
