Struggle in Russia

Unknowingly, 1852 passed. This year is not particularly noticeable in history, but the impact is far-reaching. The most notable thing is that in December Napoleon III was honored as “Napoleon III” by the Senate. France announced the restoration of the monarchy, and Louis Napoleon Bonaparte became the emperor of the Second French Empire.

To be honest, this is not unexpected. Since Napoleon III launched a coup to extend the presidency, many people have foreseen his ambitions to expand further.

It’s just that bringing France back to the former “Era of Empires” overnight still surprised many people, such as Nicholas I!

As the most hated and hostile monarch in Europe or the world, Nicholas I reacted to Napoleon III’s proclaiming emperor with anger, fear and hysteria!

“That devil is back again!” He waved his fist angrily in the Imperial Study. “I said long ago that no one in that devil’s family is worthy of trust. That family is full of ambitious devils, all thinking about subversion. European tradition! Take a look! Take a look! Do not believe my prediction, we are about to make the mistake of 1804 again!”

Nicholas I walked up and down in the study. His anxiety was obvious. As a diehard loyal to the monarchy and centralization of the monarchy, what he hated most was the rebels, whether it was a rebel who rebelled under the banner of a revolution, or because of his ambitions to usurp the throne. In his opinion, the traitorous heroes are intolerable and must be eliminated quickly.

He had written a letter to Queen Victoria before, warning her to pay attention to the movements of France, saying that France would once again become a source of turmoil in Europe. It is necessary to take action against Republican France and help the Bourbon dynasty resume its rule again. He also said that this is the only way for Europe. In order to restore stability.

But these words did not receive a positive response from Queen Victoria, because Britain considered Russia more dangerous than the politically turbulent France, especially after he continued to pressure Turkey to seek Bulgaria, Britain regarded Russia as a serious concern and united. It is still possible for France to contain Russia, but the reverse is simply impossible.

“I will write to Queen Victoria again immediately,” Nicholas I announced with great anxiety. “After Louis Napoleon is restored, he will certainly repeat the path of his evil uncle. External aggression and expansion to subvert the traditional European order will become inevitable. We A new anti-French alliance must be formed immediately to deal with this threat, and it is best to send troops to eliminate him immediately!”

Speaking of Nicholas I suddenly shouted at Neschel Rodier: “Prime Minister, I ask you to immediately note the British Minister, and convey my meaning accurately…not only the United Kingdom, Austria, Prussia and everything else that support the monarch. The countries with the system must contact, this will be our country’s top priority in the near future! There is no room for delay!”

Neschel Rodie was not very interested at first, and did not respond strongly to Nicholas I’s request. But when he heard the top priority, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately responded, and then cautiously tentatively said. :

“Your Majesty, in view of the terrible situation in France, we must actively coordinate with the United Kingdom to deal with this threat, and it is best to release goodwill, so that it will be easier to gain their approval…”

Nicholas I looked at Neschel Rodyz, who was hesitant to speak, very strange. He didn’t know what Neschel Rody meant, and urged a little impatiently: “If you have something to say, don’t hesitate. !”

Neschel Rodie quickly explained: “Your Majesty, I mean that on the Bulgarian issue, our relationship with the United Kingdom is very stiff. Now France is a serious concern. The top priority should be to shelve some of the disputes and avoid irritating the United Kingdom…”

Nicholas I frowned. He didn’t expect that Neschel Rodie would turn around and bring up Bulgaria. Because this matter has been basically settled, it is to teach the Turks a good lesson and completely liberate Bulgaria. If the time is right, it is not impossible to completely solve the Turkish problem.

But now Nechel Rodi meant to make some concessions on this issue, release goodwill to ease relations with Britain, or in exchange for their agreement to form a new anti-French alliance, which made him a little unhappy.

“These are two questions!” Nicholas I said, staring at Neschel Rodie, “not to be confused!”

Knowing that this was his last chance to stop the war, Neschel Rodiey immediately retorted: “Your Majesty, if we continue to maintain a strong position on the Bulgarian issue, the British side will definitely not be able to accept it. It will be difficult for them. Accept the judgment that France is the enemy, and only think that we are the threat. Naturally, you will not be interested in the new anti-French alliance!”

After a short pause, he continued to remind: “Moreover, if we go to war with Turkey, how can we interfere in France? Without force as a guarantee, how can we force France to get back on track?”

Nicholas I was silent. Although he still did not accept the argument that France or Bulgaria could only choose one of the two, what Neschel Rodie said was not unreasonable. For example, using force against Turkey does not have the ability to intervene in France with arms. This is indeed a big problem.

Thinking of him turning his head and asking Chernyshov: “How long will it take us to solve the Bulgarian problem?”

Chernyshov was taken aback. He understood the dialogue between Nicholas I and Neschel Rody earlier. Obviously, Russia is only so capable. UU reading www.uukanshu.com in France and Bulgaria can only Solve one. If you are in France, you can’t engage in Bulgaria. As the Secretary of the Army, he must consider carefully how to choose.

In nominal terms, France must be larger and the honor may be obtained. The last time you entered Paris in 1814, the big guys still remember it! Who doesn’t want to relive it like those ancestors?

But Chernyshov knows very well that there are too many uncertain factors in the high French. Let alone whether a new anti-French alliance can be established, even if the big guy decides to send troops to intervene, this is an extremely long bargaining process.

Even if everything goes smoothly for more than half a year, it is definitely necessary, not to mention whether this new anti-French alliance can be established with the current international popularity of Russia.

After all, although Napoleon III restored the monarchy, he did not make enemies on all sides like his uncle, okay? Under such circumstances, the establishment of a new anti-French alliance is probably a matter of the year of the monkey.

Therefore, the Anti-French League is the moon in the mirror, while Bulgaria has everything ready and only owes the wind. Is it difficult to decide how to choose?

Certainly in his heart, Chernyshov immediately bowed and replied: “Your Majesty, we are sure to solve the Bulgarian problem within half a year…”
