Struggle in Russia - v3 Chapter 835 Reactions from all parties (middle)

Duke Alexander, who was far away in Vienna, was in a much more complicated mood than Duke Ordorf. Duke Ordorf only had to worry about domestic affairs, and he had to worry about both domestic and international relations. International Environment.

To tell the truth, this is not easy, and it can even be said to be the most difficult challenge for Duke Alexander since his political career.

The situation in Vienna is too complicated. He had contact with the British and French ministers in Vienna, and it was very difficult to speak on both sides. The words revealed toughness inside and out, and they were determined to be Russia.

Of course, he knows that this so-called toughness does not really mean that Britain and France want to bring down Russia. It may be a posturing to force Russia to make concessions, or it may be a political show.

Duke Alexander knew something about the situation in London and Paris, although the upper elites of the two countries took a firm stand and must teach Russia a lesson. However, the attitude of the middle- and lower-class people, from the one-sided support at the beginning of the war, has now begun to have continuous opposition.

After all, it is the husbands, sons or brothers of these middle- and lower-class people who really go to the battlefield. Their tragic situation in Crimea has attracted widespread attention, especially after batches of wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs returned to the country by boat. , this voice has become stronger and stronger.

Many newspapers put out the slogan "Let the children go home." Although the simple wishes of the lower class can hardly really influence the decisions of the upper class elites, as the war dragged on, especially Sevastopol became After buying a pure meat grinder, they also had to weigh one or two more.

Anyway, like Lord Palmerston's **** anti-Russian faction, the Russian war madmen who clamor for dismemberment are becoming less and less marketable. The elites at the top began to realize that it was unrealistic to expect one or two victories to crush Russia, and that long-term plans had to be taken.

But even so, Duke Alexander's job is very difficult, because giving up the complete dismemberment or settlement of Russia does not mean that the British and French elites will loosen the noose they have put around Russia's neck.

They still tried their best to weaken Russia, and the harsh conditions made Duke Alexander indignant. If it weren't for the situation being stronger than people, he really wanted to walk away.

It is a pity that weak countries have no diplomacy since ancient times. Although Russia cannot be considered weak, Russia's enemy is too strong, so there is too little room for him to move. What annoys him the most is that there is another mess. The stick Austria is stirring things up and making things even more complicated.

The Duke of Alexander naturally knew what the Austrians were up to, nothing more than to take advantage of Russia's deep-seated passive opportunity to seize the interests of the Balkans!

It's not that Duke Alexander felt that it was wrong for Austria to do this. As a member of the foreign powers, it was only natural that the weak would prey on the weak. The only thing he couldn't accept was that Austria's ambitions were too big. These grandchildren want to replace Russia's position in Wallachia, how is this possible!

You must know that the millions of troops of the coalition can't do anything to Duke Mikhail. In Wallachia, you have not taken any advantage of it. You are not a member of the coalition and you have not contributed a bit, why should you eat this piece? Big cake.

The most important thing is that the Austrians are still very proud, and they look like they don't care. Just thinking that these grandsons were crying and calling for Russia to help them a few years ago, the Duke of Alexander was very angry.

In a private letter to Alexander II, he said indignantly: Austria is a group of wolves, and these ungrateful **** are not allies of Russia at all. Get rid of Austria as soon as possible and even settle accounts with them when necessary. is the wisest thing to do.

Of course, these angry words can be said in private, or even done in secret, but on the surface, it is necessary to make false accusations with the Austrians.

As an old diplomat, Duke Alexander naturally understands this, isn't it just pretending to be a grandson when he is down? Who wouldn't!

Think about the title of Austrian by Napoleon ’s fat and even the Holy Roman Emperor's title. He had to send a princess to relatives. Is it miserable?

But in a blink of an eye, Napoleon is still not alive and well. What Duke Alexander thinks the Austrians can do, there is no reason why the Russians can't do it, not to mention that Russia is far from the predicament of the Austrians. For the time being, they bowed their heads and surrendered, and secretly accumulated strength to make a comeback. Hexi's great year!

However, when it comes to this, the Duke of Alexander is a little anxious, and it is not difficult for him to see what is going on in Russia from the letter of the Duke of Oldolf. In the face of this fiasco, which did not come to fruition, the country has begun to reflect, and the reformists who have been suppressed for a long time are now sprouting like mushrooms after a spring rain.

The conservatives who had controlled the situation before were dealt a heavy blow because of their great loss of strength, especially the violent death of Nicholas I, who strongly supported them. It will definitely not be able to slow down for a while.

Reform is almost a sure thing, and the fiasco in Crimea shows that a large number of cannon fodder-like gray animals have no fighting power at all, and it is impossible for Russia to expect to kill a powerful enemy like it did in 1814.

With the power of technology, today's powerful enemies can completely drain Russia's last drop of blood. In any case, Russia must catch up, otherwise the country's fate will be unpredictable.

But at this time, Alexander II did not express his attitude, and kept practicing Tai Chi vaguely. As long as he's not stupid, it can be seen that he is going to fool things and is not very willing to reform.

This is terrible, if the will of the upper echelons cannot be unified, it will be a fart to reform!

As a relatively well-known liberal, Duke Alexander supports reform, and believes that if Russia wants to stand up again, there is only one way to go to reform.

But now the tsar's ambiguity really made him uneasy. What if Alexander II was confused and refused to reform or pretended to be confused to maintain the status quo?

Although the Decembrists failed last time, in a sense, they were honored even though they were defeated. They won wide recognition and spread revolutionary ideas in a sense.

This time, if there is another group of irascible Decembrist sympathizers, if they learn their lessons and play it again, I am afraid it will not end as well as the last time.

Even one bad thing will cause Russia to fall into civil strife. If there is a strong enemy outside, there will be unrest inside, and this will destroy the country!

Thinking of this, Duke Alexander was so anxious that he could not wait to rush back to St. Petersburg to speak to Alexander II. He even wrote a long letter detailing the correctness and necessity of the reform, but when he was about to seal it, he directly wrote Letter to torch...

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

Shen Changqing was walking on the road, and when he met someone he knew, he would say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

to this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Ministry of Suppression, it is an organization that maintains the stability of Daqin~www.novelbuddy.com~ The main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

It can be said.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone had a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The town magic department is very big.

Those who can stay in the Town Demon Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two occupations, one is the guardian envoy and the other is the demon slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts from the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then he was promoted step by step, and eventually he was expected to become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest-ranked slayer.

Has the memory of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Town Demon Division.

It didn't take too long, Shen Changqing stopped in front of an attic.

Different from other places full of chills in the Demon Suppression Division, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, showing a different tranquility in the **** Suppression Demon Division.

At this time, the door to the attic was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing just hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside.

Enter the attic.

Circumstances have changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with a faint smell of blood rushed towards his face, causing his brows to instinctively wrinkle, but it quickly relaxed.

There is almost no way to clean the **** smell of everyone in Zhen Mosi.
