Struggle in Russia - v3 Chapter 837 Tentative (Part 1)

After the reform of Peter the Great, Mao Xiong did show signs of leaving Asia and joining Europe, and began to move closer to Western Europe in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation. But, in the final analysis, Mao Xiong is still a little different. He has only learned half a bucket of water in every aspect. At a critical moment, the ferocity inherited from his ancestors will be exposed.

For example, right now, people with normal nerves know that there is no point in continuing to fight. What is there to persist in such a losing situation? The key is to quickly clear the warehouse and clear the goods before making a comeback.

But the hairy bear is different. The bear's big shelf can't be put down. He was forced to be in a hurry and even showed a fierce look in his eyes to prepare for the fish to die and the net to break.

It's good to have this kind of determination, but you can't count on this set to scare off the enemy every time, right?

In Li Xiao's view, it is actually the most reasonable choice to make concessions now. It is not a bad thing to temporarily stop expanding in the Balkans. You see why Austria is against Russia, and they are jealous of this piece of fat.

And it is most beneficial for the European powers to limit Russia to the Black Sea. After all, the size of the bear is too large, and it is also ambitious, who is not afraid!

"Anyway, if you ask my opinion, my opinion is to negotiate peace as soon as possible, the sooner the better. If necessary, you can give up the interests of part of the Black Sea region. On the contrary, if you continue to grit your teeth and persist, it is likely to cause disaster!"

Duke Mikhail remained silent, rationally said that he agreed with Li Xiao's judgment, but emotionally he couldn't accept it, he asked incredulously: "Even if it is to sacrifice the interests of Wallachia, are you willing? "

Li Xiao spread his hands and said: "Yes, because we continue to insist on our interests in Wallachia, but the loss will be even greater. At that time, it will really be a knife, and I can only be slaughtered for the fish and meat!"

Duke Mikhail's eyes widened, staring straight at Li Xiao. He always felt that the other party was not telling the truth, but he couldn't find any evidence.

After a long while, he gave up this futile effort and said, "What if they are not satisfied?"

"Then try to satisfy them!" Li Xiao replied nonchalantly.

Duke Mikhail was taken aback again, and he became more and more unsure of what someone's attitude was. Could it be that someone really doesn't feel bad at all?

How could Li Xiao not feel distressed, everything in Wallachia was built by him brick by brick, how could he be happy now that he is handed over like this?

But no matter how unhappy he is, he knows that his arms can't twist his thighs. To Russia, Wallachia is nothing more than sesame and green beans. If necessary, he can give up. He can't just pick sesame seeds and lose watermelon, right?

What's more, with Li Xiao's knowledge of the old fox of Count Rostovtsev, he will definitely not be satisfied with the current situation if he wants to promote Russia's reform. For him, the situation in Russia was not critical enough, not stressful enough to keep the Tsar on his toes, much less make up his mind to reform.

With his style, he will definitely try to make the situation worse and exert further pressure, so whether he is willing or not, he has no chance to play this game. The only thing he can do is to help Duke Mikhail maintain as much as possible. The status quo, so that the situation will not collapse all at once.

Sometimes Li Xiao wonders, what is Count Rostovtsev doing in St. Petersburg at this moment? Are you busy planning conspiracies or colluding with henchmen, or are you still an old hermaphrodite?

This thought flashed by, and he suddenly asked, "How is the situation in St. Petersburg?"

Duke Mikhail glanced at him and replied slowly: "I said everything is normal, do you believe it?"

"I believe, why don't I believe it?" Li Xiao asked rhetorically with a smile, "Everything is normal in St. Petersburg, and the whole of Russia is normal, and everything is normal, but we are abnormal here. How interesting!"

Duke Mikhail snorted and said contemptuously: "We are normal here, at least that's what I said in the official document to His Majesty!"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "That can only be because the coalition is abnormal!"

Duke Mikhail was noncommittal and said, "But I heard that His Majesty commended Count Uvarov and awarded him a St. Andrew Medal..."

He deliberately said here and stopped, and then looked at Li Xiao and stopped talking, not to mention making people hate him like that, but Li Xiao was not in a hurry at all, and replied casually: "That's good, Wu Count Varov has worked hard, and the new emperor must be rewarded for his ascension, and a mere St. Andrew's Medal is not enough!"

Duke Mikhail said bitterly in his heart: "Damn little fox, you don't show any timidity at all, and I don't know where you got your confidence!"

He snorted again, and continued slowly: "I don't know what happened later, but a lot of nobles who were friends with Count Uvarov ran to the gate of the Winter Palace to spread the word. I heard that His Majesty arrested a lot of dukes. Marquis, by the way, several of them seem to have a very tense relationship with you!"

Li Xiao rolled his eyes in his heart, he knew that Duke Mikhail was a temptation, nothing more than to see his relationship with the reformists and to test his views on reform. To be honest, it's a bit boring, because everyone knows what his relationship with Alexei is. That dead father is the spiritual leader of the reformists. What do you think he has to do with the reformists?

As for whether or not to reform, Russia is such a rotten mess, and if it doesn't reform, it will just be left to die?

Sometimes he thinks that Duke Mikhail is a little naive in politics, or he is too cautious. He clearly realizes that the conservatives are probably going to die out, and he also understands that he needs to change a ship quickly, but he can do things. However, it is not easy to look forward to the future. No wonder the military always thinks that Paskovich is stronger than him. In a sense, it is true. Paskovich is reckless, but he strikes quickly and accurately, while Mikhail The duke is a bit sloppy.

Just like the current war situation, Duke Mikhail clearly knew that the Austrians in Transylvania could not really use force. In fact, it was just a bunch of people to contain and disgust Russia. If he was decisive enough, he could go in that direction. Let's not say too much about the deployment of troops, there are definitely 50,000 people.

If these 50,000 people were sent to Crimea earlier, Kornilov would definitely not be so passive. Maybe the Inkerman Mountain defense line would not fall so quickly, and the coalition would pay a heavier price.

But no matter it was him, Dmitry Milyutin and other generals who lobbied him several times, this guy still couldn't make up his mind and still confronted the Austrians foolishly. Isn't this desperate?

Naturally, Li Xiao didn't have a good temper for this temptation. Obviously, Lao Tzu has already made it clear that he is a reformer. You are still here to test without mercy. Isn't this sick? !

"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.

Everyone's face has no superfluous expressions, as if they are 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 finally 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 the faint smell of blood rushed towards his face, causing his brows to instinctively wrinkle, but then quickly stretched.

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