Struggle in Russia

Chapter 388 Conversation (9)

The more insane Count Rostovtsev was, the more painful he was, and how much he hated the rule of Nicholas I.

In order to subvert this devil's rule, he has already used everything to the extreme, even the most powerful trick of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred.

Igor was deeply moved by this determination and madness. After thinking about it, he couldn't help asking: "Is it really worth it?"

Count Rostovtsev replied very firmly: "As long as that bastard centralized rule can be eliminated, everything is worth it... If Russia continues like this, there will be no peace!"

Igor sighed, as if he was sorry for the madness of his old friend, and he seemed to be sighing for the rough fate of Russia. It's just that he only has this little sigh left, because he, like Count Rostovtsev, would do anything to bring down Nicholas I, even if it dragged all of Russia to be buried with him. .

Because in Igor's view, this country belongs to his master and young master, if it cannot be returned to the original owner, then no one can get it!

Two wise and crazy guys come together, and one can imagine how terrible their crazy plan will be. It can be heard from just a little bit of the conversation just now that the reason why Nicholas I would do something so fiercely is the shadow of Count Rostovtsev behind it.

So what did this earl, who was ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to his enemies, do? Even his partner Igor didn't know much about it, but Count Rostovtsev's madness had already attracted Igor's attention, so he wrote to Li Xiao about the count's madness, reminding him This little master must be careful about this earl in the future.

It was already half a month later when Li Xiao received the letter, and the situation in Wallachia in this half month was like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River flowing out of control. Even the National Party believes that the defeat is doomed, and almost all the dignitaries with dignity are doing everything possible to escape from Bucharest. Those who have connections go directly abroad, and those who have nothing to do hide in the countryside.

In an instant, Bucharest lost the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the past, and the streets and alleys were lifeless and lifeless, like an old man in his dying years.

Of course, this is from the perspective of noble people. These people always feel that they are the darling and master of this city, and they think that if they leave this city, they will lose everything. But in fact they are nothing, neither the darlings of the times, nor can they determine the survival of a country and nation, they are nothing.

On the contrary, in Li Xiao's view, Bucharest's unique vitality and charm were only revealed after a large number of nobles fled. When people who are willing to live and die with the nation and the country take to the streets hand in hand, carrying crude weapons and rushing to build barricades day and night,

That kind of unique charm makes people awe-inspiring.

If a country or a nation does not have such people, then it is truly about to die. As for those so-called nobles, they can never represent a country and nation.

Looking at the bustling scene on the street, Li Xiao turned his attention back to Igor's letter. He attached great importance to this sudden letter, because Count Rostovtsev kept making him unable to see through the depth. Know exactly what this enigmatic earl wants to do.

However, this letter told him a lot. For example, he could finally guess what Count Rostovtsev wanted to do. For example, Nicholas I was inexplicable in his later years, because although Nicholas I was ambitious in his early years, his ambition was still equipped with a valve. Once the critical moment came, his valve would work, telling him to stop.

But since 1845, Nicholas I's valve seems to have gone wrong. First of all, he was fighting against France on religious issues, and he was choking to death for small things. Although the Romanov family all have saintliness and dream of recovering Constantinople and Jerusalem, but fighting for some nominal things, this is completely overwhelmed, okay?

In history, when the revolution broke out in 1848, Nicholas I’s behavior was not particularly strange. With his consistent attitude towards the revolution, even if the cause of the revolution was the deadly enemy France or the United Kingdom, he would go to the rescue regardless of the cost. Because he has always hated revolution.

The problem was that after the 1848 revolution was ruthlessly suppressed, this guy seemed to have been beaten up. The so-called thanks from Austria and other countries seemed to make him really feel that he was the savior. It’s completely gone, look at his subsequent actions on the Balkan issue, savage and unreasonable political intimidation and risk taking, regardless of cost and cost, and finally made the world enemies, and then defeated again and again, and finally became ashamed and angry self-destruction.

In the last few years, Nicholas I was like a mental patient. He kept on talking about himself, and then he took a stud and then it was all gone. It stands to reason that he shouldn't have gone for a walk like this, but if there is something wrong with his core think tank and he is instigating from the sidelines, then it is very likely that Nicholas I will really go all the way to the dark.

Moreover, Count Rostovtsev's methods are also quite subtle and clever. The European revolution Nicholas I will definitely interfere. This is nothing to say, but how to interfere can make Nicholas I superior. .

Count Rostovtsev’s method undoubtedly greatly satisfied Nicholas I’s vanity, making him truly think that he is the savior of Europe. This huge honor will definitely make him lose his sense of normalcy. Naturally, a series of events will follow policies will be affected.

Li Xiao did some calculations. In this life, because of his time travel, Nicholas I may be even more powerful, because in history, Nicholas I intervened in the Austrian revolution but got nothing, only the Habsburg family. verbal thanks. At that time, he dared to resolutely give Turkey an ultimatum, and then marched into Wallachia and Moldavia desperately.

And in this life, he directly snatched the protection rights of Wallachia and Moldavia from Austria, which is more than what he got in history, and naturally his ambition will expand even more. It is very likely that there will be no need to wait a few years, and it is very likely that Nicholas I will speed up his ultimatum to Turkey. After all, his family in Constantinople has been thinking about it for generations. Today, he is the closest, so how could he not be tempted?

However, this is not good news for Li Xiao's plan. According to his original plan, he planned to develop a wave in Wallachia and Moldavia, but once Nicholas I quickened his pace, There is not enough time left for him to develop...
