Struggle in Russia

Somewhere in Lithuania, a temporary camp for 748 regiments.

"So you're here to inform me that you don't have to go to Prussia, just go to Ukraine?"

Leonid almost gritted his teeth when he said these words. He was so angry that he had tossed on the road for more than a month. They were first dismissed from the boat, then ordered to Estonia, then entered Lithuania, and later ordered to go to Prussia. As a result, before they left for two days, they quickly braked and turned to Ukraine for assembly.

These order-changing orders made his troops go wrong, how much precious time was delayed. Anyway, he couldn't vomit, and was depressed when he got home.

Of course, obedience to the commandment was a duty of the soldiers, and Leonid would honestly obey the order and march toward Ukraine, and even he would complete this deployment as quickly as possible. Because he is a real soldier, he can do his job even if he complains.

However, at this time, he was more worried about his friends. There is no news on Li Xiao's side. Since he left St. Petersburg, communication has become extremely difficult, and a letter has to be sent to and from the other side. Russia's poor transportation and postal facilities make communication extremely difficult.

Li Xiao was pretty good, at least there was some news. There was no response from Alexei. Considering the arduous mission of his old friend, Leonid was extremely worried about his visit to Wallachia.

It was unprecedented that he wrote a letter to his father, Duke Gorchakov, asking his father's representative to take care of Alexei and to inform him of the latest situation in Wallachia.

To tell the truth, when Duke Alexander Gorchakov received this letter, it was also a time when his brain was overwhelmed, and the situation in Austria was very volatile and unstable.

Since the revolution broke out in Paris in February, Vienna has also begun to move. All levels of society, from aristocracy to the poor, from businessmen to students, began secret meetings to discuss political discussion philosophy and freedom.

Then, dissatisfaction with Metternich ’s cabinet erupted like a volcano. Angry Viennese citizens spontaneously took to the streets and asked Metternich to step down immediately. After a short conflict, the Viennese imitated the Parisians to build a barricade and began to Armed confrontation by the Austrian government.

Under great pressure, Metternich collapsed, and the old prime minister hurriedly fled to the UK for his women's clothing. Ferdinand I, who had constant seizures and was thought to have intellectual problems, had little ability to govern. The Regent's Committee was almost in the charge of Archduke Louis.

Under the arrangement of the Grand Duke, Ferdinand I succumbed to the people and prepared for a constitutional monarchy, but the newly formed cabinet was actually no different from that of the Metternich period, and it was still so conservative and reactionary, it was almost a change of soup.

Not only is the situation in Austria unstable, but Bohemia and Hungary are also volatile. The Youth Czech Party started in Prague, while Kosut and Fedofi led the Hungarian independence movement. The larger Austrian empire was in danger of falling apart.

These are all seen in the eyes of the old man, and he increasingly feels that the weakening and disintegration of Austria is inevitable. This country is like a piece of broken glass that is barely glued by glue. Once the glue ages, it will inevitably fall apart.

So is the Hapsburg-Lorraine family saved? At least for Gorchakov, there is no hope. The incumbent emperor and his brothers are the result of the marriage of close relatives, either sick or mentally weak. Can such an emperor control the overall situation? Ability to turn the tide?

In Gorchakov's view, the Austrian and Habsburg families are already yellow flowers yesterday, and they are the poorest political zombies in Europe. At this time, the most advantageous and easiest way is to divide and eat. Russia should join Prussia to directly put eight large Austrian cuts on the table.

He couldn't help thinking of a letter received a month ago, in which Leonid told him about Li Xiao's opinion on Austria. At that time, he also felt that the young archduke was a little reckless. Although Austria was weak, but How come the skinny dead camel is bigger than the horse.

But now it seems that the judge's judgment is likely to be correct. If he combined Prussia and France with Austria to start as he imagined, maybe he could succeed.

As soon as he thought of it, Gorchakov couldn't help writing another letter to Nicholas I, clarifying his point again, and opposing interference in the Austrian revolution, so that this revolution became the death knell of Austria. The fall of a powerful empire is bound to give Russia great geopolitical benefits. At least in the Balkans, no one can stop Russia's pace.

The recapture of Constantinople at that time will no longer be a distant dream. Russia will truly face the Mediterranean Sea and obtain a true estuary, instead of being tossed in the bathtub of the Black Sea.

Gorchakov wrote a lot, but at the end of the day, he paused, what he thought, and sighed, throwing what he had just written into a ball Up the trash.

"It's meaningless, there is the old thing of Nesser Rodie, with the background of the Paris Revolution, no one can convince His Majesty, it is a shame!"

Gorchakov sighed long and walked to the balcony in a loss. Through the window, he could see the crowds of people robbing the barricades. Opposite them were the extremely depressed morale of Austrian soldiers. .

Observed for a while ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ He walked back to his desk again, pulled out a stationery and started to reply to Leonid:

"Dear little lion, I'm relieved to learn that you're all right. The situation is chaotic, and the Viennese took to the streets and started fighting like the Parisians in 1789 ... The Austrians performed poorly and could hardly do anything brave Of the Viennese ... Metternich fled, his downfall meant the end of an era ... "

"It belongs to the past, the era of 1815 has come to an end. Everything related to that era will be rewritten-the Divine Alliance, our glory and the cornerstone of stability ..."

"A new era of instability has arrived, and you are lucky to be able to catch up with this new era. I believe that you will certainly be able to make great progress ... forget the things of the past, including the honours, the honors, the It doesn't make sense anymore! "

"Treasure your current friends. I feel that you will all shine, especially the Grand Duke. You told me that he managed to sneak into Wallachia. That is a smart and good way. Please give the contact information of the Grand Duke. I, I have some questions to ask him ... Alexei, I will pay attention to it, I believe he will be fine, and if nothing unexpected happens, we will meet soon ... "
