Struggle in Russia

Chapter 637: Distinguished (Part 2)

Li Xiao knows Alexei very well. One thing this kid is smarter than Leonid is that he is not so single-minded. Alexei would not force the bright moon to take care of him, and he would not foolishly sacrifice his life for the bright moon that would never look to him.

Alexei is more practical. It is naturally best to let him do things to realize his political ambitions, but he will not keep giving foolishly if he can't do it in the end. This saves him a lot of worry. After all, only he knows what kind of sinkhole it is to carry out reforms in Russia.

Not to mention someone like Alexei, but the Grand Duke Constantine who has always supported reforms in history. He used a trick to force him to withdraw from the political arena, and almost discredited the son of Grand Duke Constantine. First release www.(x81zw) m./x81zw/

From this point, you can see the true attitude towards reform in the heart of the so-called greatest tsar who supported reform. His so-called reforms are completely the concessions he had to make when facing the mess after the disastrous defeat in the Crimean War. Once his position is stabilized, he does not need reformers and can kill the donkey.

As a result, the second half of Alexander II's reign was actually not as good as his father's. At least his father never pretended to be anything. If he said he didn't like reform, he really didn't like it. And Alexander II obviously didn't like reform, but he wanted to pretend that he liked it, so he was a hypocrite!

It is not only the attitude of Grand Duke Constantine that can tell the true thoughts of Alexander II, but also the attitudes of his son Alexander III and grandson Nicholas II towards reform. This can be a grandfather who likes reform and Is the younger generation taught by the father's precepts and deeds!

And the greatest sorrow of Alexander II's life lies in this. He has been wearing a mask for almost his whole life and pretending to be something he doesn't like at all. When he was young, he pretended to be the one Nicholas I liked. After he came to the throne, he had to pretend to be the monarch that the courtiers liked. He lived under the mask all his life. Perhaps the only time he didn't pretend was when he married his mistress as the second Queen, this is probably the most dramatic thing he has ever done in his life

Anyway, Li Xiao will not be fooled by Alexander II's disguise. He knows that when dealing with this person, he must use strength or power to speak, and he must be pressured to follow your pace. If you follow his rhythm, you will be led astray every minute, and you will be unable to do anything in the end.

After reminding Alexei, Li Xiao was ready to go on the road again. He had to return to Austria. Prince Alexander Gorchakov had too many things to do, and he was urgently needed to help. The new 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest Mobile terminal: https:/

I have to say that this duke is really talented, and I don’t know what ecstasy soup he gave the Italians. The Italians under the Austrian rule finally rose up. It ended without a problem.

The only pity is that the Kingdom of Sardinia is still swaying from side to side and has not been able to sprinkle salt on the wounds of the Austrians. Otherwise, Schwarzenberg would have to send more troops to Radeski to maintain it, let alone deploying troops. Austria's precarious situation in Italy.

For Russia, this is naturally a better result. However, because Duke Alexander's operation is too coquettish, he was immediately targeted by Nesselrode. This stubborn pro-Austrian faction began to frantically find trouble with him!

How do you find trouble? Nesselrode, who is well versed in the ways of officialdom, is also very subtle, probably because he discovered that directly attacking Duke Alexander is not effective, especially when Nicholas I is not on his side, the effect is even worse.

Several offensives were launched in the imperial meeting without any results, and sometimes he even lost his wife and lost his army, so Nesselrode changed his tactics and no longer sought to defeat Duke Alexander with one blow, but continued to attack his subordinates!

In just one month, under the direct instruction of Nesselrode, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs transferred several important officials from the embassy in Austria, and directly transferred some of Duke Alexander's confidants out of Austria.

Although this could not directly hit Duke Alexander, but Nesselrode replaced him with some of his confidantes, not only would it hinder Duke Alexander, but also constantly monitor Duke Alexander's movements, making him very annoying!

Let's put it this way, 50 to 60 percent of Duke Alexander's energy has to be spent on defending these pig teammates, and there are really very few that can be used to do business. In desperation, Duke Alexander could only ask Li Xiao to help him deal with the provocation of these pig teammates and strive for more interests for Russia as much as possible.

Because of the situation, Li Xiao rushed back to Vienna in only seven days, and then saw the tired-looking Duke Alexander.

"You look bad!"

Duke Alexander gave a wry smile: "Isn't it too bad? Dealing with those pig heads every day makes me exhausted! This bastard, Nesselrode, really knows how to play tricks!"

Li Xiao asked curiously: "What are these guys doing again?"

As if he had found someone to confide in, Duke Alexander began to rant nonstop: "It's not what they did, the important thing is that they didn't do anything! At least they don't do anything serious, but jealousy and gossip are more common than others. Good! But I still can't let them go!"

Li Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked, "Have you responded to His Majesty?"

"Yes!" Duke Alexander smiled wryly: "But it doesn't work! Our Majesty likes balancing things the most. Even if he knows that Nesselrode did it on purpose, he will just let it go!"

Before Li Xiao could speak, Duke Alexander went on to complain: "Now the affairs of the entire embassy are on my shoulders. If I don't supervise all kinds of daily affairs, they will ignore them and never do them. And Once Nesselrode found out about the delay, this bastard would blatantly use the excuse to beat me, which annoys me so much!"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "You just hold on like this?"

"Otherwise?" Duke Alexander asked angrily, "Otherwise the embassy will be paralyzed!"

"This is not the way!" Li Xiao shook his head and said, "I guess this group of people did it on purpose, Nesselrode ordered them to do this, just to hold you back, so that you can't impose greater pressure on the Austrians. pressure...you can't go to their beat, it's pointless!"
