Struggle in Russia

Prince Alexander Gorchakov was mistaken, it was not Wendisch Gretz who wanted to meet him, the proud rooster was so angry with him now that he didn't want to meet him at all.

Therefore, it is not realistic to expect to touch the bottom of Wendisch Gretz through contact with Schwarzenberg. When he arrived at the manor outside the city, only Schwarzenberg greeted him.

This kind of situation made Duke Alexander Gorchakov a little surprised, but he was not particularly surprised, because he had long heard that Wendisch Gretz was conceited and proud. It is difficult to guess his attitude towards Russia.

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency!"

Alexander Gorchakov greeted Schwarzenberg without changing his expression. There was no superfluous expression on the latter's face, and he looked so hospitable, as if they were two good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Friends get together again.

"Welcome duke!"

After getting off the carriage, the two walked side by side, chatting about the hypocrisy and hypocrisy among the nobles while walking. Those who didn't know thought it was a leisure noble gathering!

Neither of the two of them took the initiative to get to the point. They have been chatting all the time, from the air in Vienna to the opera in Vienna, to the harvest of the last hunting. They are really as boring as they want.

It wasn't until the end of the dinner party that the two of them sat in the living room to rest before trying to get to the point.

"Duke, I have some doubts." Schwarzenberg said suddenly.

Alexander Gorchakov's heart moved. He knew that the meat scene was coming, and he was not in a hurry. He took a sip of black tea and asked gracefully, "What's the question? Your Excellency the Prince."

"You should be very aware of the turmoil in our country," Schwarzenberg said slowly. "This turmoil has caused huge losses and seriously disrupted the normal order of our country. It can be said that this is a human tragedy!"

Alexander Gorchakov held a teacup and looked at Schwarzenberg meticulously, but there was no emotion on his face, as indifferent as a bystander listening.

[Old fox! 】

Schwarzenberg spat in his heart, and could only continue: "In the face of this tragedy, as a member of the Holy Alliance, as Austria's closest ally, how can your country remain indifferent?"

Alexander Gorchakov finally changed his posture,

He casually put down his teacup, and replied slowly: "Why is our country indifferent? At the first moment when the incident happened, His Majesty the Emperor of our country conveyed his concern about this tragedy like your country, and gave us valuable assistance. ! Isn’t this just a manifestation of the importance of friendship with your country?”

Schwarzenberg spat in his heart again, because Prince Alexander Gorchakov is simply nonsense, and the aid of lip service is a manifestation of friendship?

It's just that he still can't get angry, so he can only continue to test: "Duke, our country is grateful for your kindness, but these are far from enough. At this critical moment, our country needs your country's selfless help!"

Schwarzenberg emphasized the word selfless. Prince Alexander Gorchakov naturally knew what it meant, but he scoffed at it: There is basically no selfless help in this world, at least for Russia Why selflessly help Austria? Just because the Austrians are good at waltzing?

As long as he thinks that the Austrians have been dragging their feet in the Balkans, he will hate this flashy country even more, and naturally it is impossible to give him any good looks.

"Isn't the help our country has given to your country selfless enough?" Prince Alexander Gorchakov pretended to be shocked and asked back, "Our country is willing to selflessly provide troops to help your country counter the rebellion. Isn't this selfless enough? What about your country? what do you want?"

These two rhetorical questions made Schwarzenberg want to grind his teeth in anger, and he immediately retorted: "We are naturally grateful for the nobles' willingness to provide military assistance, but it is not without price. Great concessions on Via! That's the price!"

Schwarzenberg made the matter clear, and Alexander Gorchakov was not afraid, and naturally he would not be polite. He immediately retorted: "The anti-Russian turmoil in Wallachia and Moldavia and your country Domestic turmoil is one thing, and our country's quelling of Wallachia and Moldavia's turmoil is naturally the same as your country's quelling of domestic turmoil."

"Because your country is unable to quell the rebellion in Wallachia and Moldavia, our country is forced to take action, which is essentially to protect the interests of our two countries in Wallachia and Moldavia ! Otherwise, if our country remains indifferent, then Wallachia and Moldavia will fall under the control of Britain and France, is this something your country would like to see?"

Schwarzenberg was so angry that he almost vomited blood. According to Alexander Gorchakov, Austria has to thank Russia for its contribution in Wallachia and Moldavia. What kind of nonsense is this?

[Nimma, you still have to be good when you take advantage of it! 】

"I disagree!" Schwarzenberg immediately retorted: "On the issue of Wallachia and Moldavia, our country has made major concessions, and your country does not appreciate it! This is not what an ally should do Bar!"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov replied unhurriedly: "Walachia and Moldavia do not belong to your country, and there are no major concessions. If your country feels that the agreement is not good enough, You can choose to refuse to fulfill it! Our country is not going to force your country to do anything!"

These words are even more irritating, because Schwarzenberg knows that once Austria chooses to break the contract, the Russians will naturally break the contract. At that time, no one will contain the Hungarian insurgents, and they will have to solve the problem alone.

Obviously, Austria does not have this ability now. If it is forced to do it, it must deploy troops from other strategic directions. Now the only place where troops can be deployed is the Apennine Peninsula. The Kingdom of Sardinia is probably going to make trouble again, so don't press the gourd and float the gourd again!

Schwarzenberg probably knows the attitude of the Russians, that is, Wallachia and Moldavia are going to be decided. As for other places, it depends on the situation and mood. If Austria's performance has not been satisfactory If you like it, then it is not ruled out that the Russians will have to cut the meat in large pieces.

In this regard, Schwarzenberg was both angry and helpless. Facing the Russians who were sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai watching the theater, he really didn't have much to do...
