Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 840: Leboeuf's suggestion

David Leboeuf had thought that Li Xiao would come to him, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. He thought that Li Xiao should come back after the fall of Sevastopol, after all, everything would be known at that time.

"The situation has gotten so bad?" he asked in amazement.

Li Xiao nodded with difficulty, and sighed: "It's a mess, Alexander is not a determined and ambitious person, he just wants to drag, how can he get better?"

Leboeuf was stunned for a while, then blurted out: "Is Nicholas I really dead?"

It's no wonder he has doubts in this regard, because Nicholas I is still very important in the eyes of the elites of European countries, and most Europeans have accepted and used to his strength and toughness.

In their opinion, it is unlikely that Nicholas I had a problem with the Crimea. When they heard that Alexander II had succeeded to the throne, they either thought that he felt ashamed and took the initiative to abdicate, or that it was because of internal problems in Russia. There was a coup d'etat for Nicholas I.

The coup d’état is quite rare in other European countries, but in Russia it has to come every three or five times. The last time it was successful was in the era of Alexander I, and the unsuccessful one was in the era of Nicholas I. It is entirely possible to overturn and click!

Especially a Russian savvy like Leboeuf would have this idea. After seeing Li Xiao nod, he quickly asked: "Who did it? I don't think Alexander has the courage, and is a sympathizer of the Decembrists. ?"

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "None of them. They died of illness, or they died of anger and shame."

Le Boeuf was stunned for a moment, his eyes were round, and it took him a long time to accept this statement. He laughed and asked: "He can still be ashamed and angry? I thought he was skinless and faceless?"?? ?.

Normal people who knew Nicholas I and dealt with him would not like this arbitrary tsar, especially French people like Leboeuf, who were even less interested in his tricks.

Probably Leboeuf also thought that Nicholas I was a scourge, and the sooner he died, the better.

He said happily: "This is really happy news, unexpected! Unexpected! If you say that, your life should be better!"

Leboeuf meant that the Russians should be able to breathe a sigh of relief when an autocratic king like Nicholas I died. But Li Xiao's next words directly poured cold water on his heart:

"It's not that simple. You don't know Alexander's temper. He's not bold. The only thing he wants to do is to maintain the status quo..."

Uh……

Leboeuf was stunned. He asked dumbfoundedly, "Is this situation still the status quo? What was in his mind?"

Li Xiao spread out his hands with a wry smile and said, "It's not like you don't know what's going on in Russia. You don't know how many old stubborn stubborn people are. How can they who control power easily give in?"

Leboeuf said, "Alexander didn't have the guts to clean them up, no! Not only is he lacking guts, but more importantly, he is unwilling to give up the power in his hands! If he wants to reform, he, the tsar, will be decentralised no matter what!"

Li Xiao nodded and said, "You're right, he just doesn't want to let go of power. When their family dies, they can't wait to hold the power in their hands!"

"Then you still have a hard time to live!" Leboeuf sighed and suddenly asked, "Are you here for negotiation?"

Li Xiao nodded again: "Yes, Russia won't last long. How to end up in a decent manner is the primary question..."

Leboeuf laughed and said, "It's only Alexander and his son-in-law who want to end with dignity. Isn't that what you want?"

Li Xiao sighed and said, "Of course, it's just that my will doesn't work. After all, Russia is still headed by Alexander's gang!"

Leboeuf shook his head with a wry smile. He seemed to have a lot of emotion, but he didn't say something after all, because he knew it was useless to say it.

He sighed and said: "The situation is very unfavorable for you. Although there are some anti-war voices in the country, most of them come from the people and have little impact on the political situation. What's more important is that Napoleon was intent on restoring his uncle's glory. Wanting to have a big victory to demonstrate the legitimacy of his ascension."

Li Xiao nodded, he knew this for a long time, that guy Napoleon III is now full of thoughts of comparing himself with his uncle. He wants to prove that he can recreate the glory of the French Empire and prove that Napoleon is no better than himself. His uncle is bad.

Moreover, the situation in France also determined that he had to try to please the Catholics. After all, the Catholics were constantly at odds with Russia because of the Holy City issue, and they hated the Russians so much.

The deep-rooted Catholic sect that pleases him can very well alleviate some of the problems brought about by his forcible proclamation of the emperor. So in any case he must give Russia a hard lesson, preferably by punching the Russians in the face.

All these have determined that he cannot give up halfway, and he will not give up unless he takes Sevastopol and forces Russia to submit.

Li Xiao sighed lightly and asked, "Where's the British?"

Leboeuf said with a wry smile: "The British have a very firm attitude. Palmerston has always been displeased with Russia. Even if the anti-war voices are getting louder and louder, he can't help him."

Li Xiao asked again, "Is it possible for Russia to make some concessions in exchange for peace?"

Leboeuf frowned, thinking for a long time before answering: "It's unlikely, whether it's Britain, France or the onlookers in Austria actually expect you to fall over and drive your forces back to the Black Sea. Everyone is willing to watch. It's not that easy to want to be good!"

Li Xiao sighed again in his heart. Although he had expected this outcome, he was still a little disappointed when Leboeuf really said it.

In a sense, the insistence of Nicholas I and Alexander II is not wrong. It is impossible for things to be good this time. The only way for Russia to retreat is to fight a beautiful victory, which must be ruthless. It is only possible if the ground setbacks the spirit of Britain and France.

However, this possibility is really unlikely. At least Li Xiao knows that Kornilov can't do it. Taking a step back, even if Kornilov can do it, in the meaning of Alexander II and the main war faction, After winning this battle, they may not be able to hold back their minds anymore. Thinking about it, if they persisted a little longer, maybe they could turn defeat into victory?

This kind of wishful thinking is completely impossible, so this idea just flashed in Li Xiao's mind and gave up, but Leboeuf suddenly said: "It's impossible in Crimea, in fact, you can do it in other places. Let's try somewhere..."

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

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

But no matter who.

Everyone has no superfluous expressions on their faces, as if they are very indifferent to everything.

to this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Ministry of Suppression of Demons, which is an organization that maintains the stability of Daqin.

It can be said.

In the 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~www.readwn.com~ but over time he got used to it.

The Town Demon Division 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 Suppressing Demon Division is divided into two occupations, one is the guardian 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 an apprentice slayer in the Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest-ranking 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 Suppression 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.

The environment has changed in vain.

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

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