The Europeans of that era actually had similar understanding of war. How long can they fight for a long time? What the Seven Years’ War and the Thirty Years’ War are just listening to bluff, the scale is actually drizzle.

For example, after the First World War, the leadership of the major participating countries almost agreed that the war would last for a few months at most, and never thought it would last as long as four years.

The same was true for the Crimean War. Russia initially felt that it was a lesson to Turkey. How much time could it take? As for Britain and France, they also believed that as long as they fought together, they could scare the polar bear to death, and it would not last long.

Not only is there an error in the judgment of the time, but the big powers also have a problem in their unanimous judgment of the scale of the war. They never thought that this small-scale conflict would involve almost the entire Europe, and there would be millions of people fighting there for several years. The deaths and injuries would be so severe.

So much so that some European historians believe that the Crimean War is the First World War, because its bloodiness and the scale of participation are not comparable to those of the Afghan War, the Boer War, the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War.

The only thing that can challenge the Crimean War to a tragic degree is the American Civil War. However, this is a civil war and will not affect other powers. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the Crimean War in which almost all the powers participated.

Therefore, when Li Xiao said that this possible war lasted particularly long and spread to a wide range, neither Kornilov nor Nasimov agreed.

They believe that either the duration is particularly long but the number of countries participating in the war will not be particularly large, and the natural spread will not be very large. If the spread is large and too many powers are involved, then the war will not be particularly long.

Their reason is that if there are too many powers participating in the war, then everyone will be jealous of each other, and it is impossible to really fight to the death. At most, they will test each other’s bottom line, and then close when they see it, and finally settle it through negotiation. The problem becomes.

In fact, this is also the norm in Europe in the era of the Vienna system. Otherwise, after the Vienna Conference, there will be a saying that this will end the war. Because under the framework of the Vienna system, Europe is basically a system that checks and balances each other. Everyone has no choice but to test each other, even if it is to use force, it is mostly to scare people, and it is more like a bargaining method at the negotiating table.

However, Li Xiao knew that the Vienna system was almost over, because the reason for the existence of the Vienna system was that France was weakened, while Russia and Opp joined together to keep warm. But now France has re-emerged and become stronger, and the United Kingdom has grown by leaps and bounds because of the industrial revolution, while Russia’s Opp has fallen into internal troubles and its strength is much worse than before. The balance of mutual restraint no longer exists.

Obviously, the European political pattern or the Vienna system needs to be reshuffled. Only after a new round of political reshuffle will countries reach a new temporary balance until a new country that can break the balance reappears, and then proceed to the next step. The rounds are shuffled, and then cycled forward again and again.

Unfortunately, Russia will become the biggest loser in this round of reshuffle. Who made Russia fail to keep up with the situation? Its strength is no longer enough to support its status and ambitions!

“What we are going to face is an abnormal tug-of-war and a protracted war. The scale and duration of the war will be unprecedentedly long! Don’t believe it, time will prove everything, and gentlemen, it’s always right to be more prepared for war. Yes, no one can tell how the future format will change, but one thing will never be wrong. It is always good to be more prepared!”

Although Kornilov and Nasimov did not fully agree with Li Xiao’s opinion, as veterans on the battlefield, they also knew the importance of preparing more, and preparation is better than no preparation, right!

“But it’s very troublesome!” Kornilov sighed. “Berkh and the others didn’t put Turkey in their eyes at all. They didn’t plan to defend at all. They only planned to destroy the Turkish navy with a fierce attack. They promised to strengthen the defense is simply unrealistic!”

This is really a headache. I have to say that the upper echelons of Russia at this time are swayed by blind optimism. It is generally believed that teaching Turkey is a piece of cake. It is not expected that Britain and France will come forward for Turkey, so naturally they did not plan to defend. Most people are ready to completely destroy Turkey with one brilliant victory after another.

This is the pot of Nicholas I. Who made him misjudge, who made him blindly optimistic, has been drawing big cakes for the generals, so that the Russian army is now generally arrogant, thinking that victory is easy to come by.

Li Xiao also has no good way to do this, because he is not a **** and cannot reverse this universal blind optimism. The only idea he can come up with is: “You go to Sevastoporde for an inspection, and you will be inspecting the armaments. As an excuse, focus on the defense facilities… I guess that few people have paid special attention to the situation in these years. If there are a lot of problems, you can seize these problems and make a fuss, and then try to spend more money. Go to repair the defensive facilities…”

Kornilov and Nasimov were a little bit dumbfounded when they heard it, because this method is really a bit of a thing, but that’s the only way to do it.

It’s just that Li Xiao didn’t finish what he said. UU reading www.uukanshu.com immediately said: “I will also mention this to Grand Duke Constantine. He has been an assistant to the Secretary of the Navy for so many years. There is some power in the Admiralty, it should be able to help you beat the drum…”

Kornilov and Nasimov looked at each other. They are not political novices. The relationship between Li Xiao and Duke Constantine is not harmonious, and the Duke Constantine sent people to Wallachia to hit the nail on them. Also heard. Why in the blink of an eye, the two gangs got together again?

If Li Xiao could hear their voices, he would probably tell them: “It is normal to put together a piece. There has never been an eternal enemy in politics, only eternal interests. Grand Duke Constantine is not a stunned and angry young man. He knows how to choose. Best for myself.”

In fact, at the moment when Li Xiao was chatting with them, Grand Duke Constantine was about to arrive in Bucharest. This time he was invited by Alexei to negotiate.

“This fellow Prozolov really disappointed me!”

Grand Duke Constantine, sitting in the carriage, chattered and complained endlessly like a grudge. He already knew all about the planes that Viscount Prozolov had built, and for the first time he felt a lot of pressure…
