Struggle in Russia

Chapter 763 Dialogue

Li Xiao agrees with Vishniak's judgment. Austria's move is indeed an out-and-out stinky move. I'm afraid it was made by Wendisch Gretz. Schwarzenberg should not be so confused .

But this time, Li Xiao wronged Wendisch Gretz. Although he did advocate killing one person to make an example, he was not the only one who advocated killing people. It was the whole group of people in power in Austria who advocated killing people.

Up to Crown Prince Franz Joseph, Schwarzenberg and Wendisch Gretz, down to other ministers and senior nobles in the cabinet, they all shouted at the Hungarian Revolutionary Party.

This group of people is really angry, because this group of Hungarians almost put Austria on the pillar of historical shame again. If these Hungarians succeed, then the Habsburg family will lose Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. , Losing Hungary again, maybe even my hometown will have to be lost.

At that time, the Habsburg family really returned to before liberation overnight, and really wanted to withdraw from the ranks of the top European royal families.

So for these Hungarians who almost destroyed Austria and the Habsburg family, they hated them to the bone, and they took off all hypocritical masks and shouted and killed them.

They just want to tell all other nations under the rule of the Habsburg family that as long as you dare to rebel against the Hungarians, it will be a lesson for you!

However, the effect of this approach is really not good. Because for any nation that has difficulty in survival, for those who dare not oppress and enslave, death will not scare them at all, but will arouse their blood more and more, making them stand up and resist more violently.

What's more, other royal families and nobles in Europe are watching helplessly! Before they sympathized with the Habsburg family, it was because the Hungarians were guilty of rebellion and overturning the rules. And now the Habsburg family violated the rules. Except for those extremely cold-blooded and reactionary such as Nicholas I, most of them naturally disliked their bloody practices.

It is conceivable that public opinion in Europe will be very unfavorable to the Habsburg family, and cynicism and strong condemnation are indispensable. As for these nations under the Austrian rule, they originally sympathized with Baugjani and others. Now that Austria has turned Baugjani and others into martyrs, they will become permanent heroes.

At least Li Xiao knows that in the future, the Hungarians will hold a grand commemorative ceremony every year on the day when Bajani and others died. Every year, the Arad Martyrs' Day will make them yearn for freedom and hate the Austrians even more.

All of this is definitely not something that can be deterred by killing a few people with iron and blood methods. The Austrians' approach is indeed extremely stupid.

It's just that these are not the special concerns of Li Xiao and others, because for them, Wallachia, Hungary or Austria are about to become a thing of the past.

"Shall we go back to Wallachia next?" Vishniak asked.

Li Xiao nodded: "Of course we want to go back, but the situation is not very clear now, I don't know what kind of ties we have with the Austrians and Prussians... And how will the rewards for meritorious deeds be divided this time?" , I have to look again, these are all related to our future, Duke Alexander is also a little bit undecided, I don't know what will happen..."

Indeed, meritorious deeds are a big issue. With the personality of Nicholas I, the great Russia he led quelled a rebellion that might threaten the entire European monarchy. victory.

Even if the performance of the Russian army in the past two years is actually the same, there is no particularly shining highlight performance, but as long as the revolution can be suppressed, it will be a victory for Nicholas I!

As the main generals leading the counter-insurgency, Paskovich and Duke Mikhail must be praised, but how to praise depends on the level of Nicholas I.

Because no matter whether it is Paskovich or Duke Mikhail, in terms of title and position, it has basically come to an end. Paskovich is a duke, and he was appointed marshal in 1829, unless he was given a The title of prince, otherwise the heart is unsealable.

And Duke Mikhail is not much better. He is a duke at the top, and he has the rank of artillery general, and he basically touched the ceiling.

In terms of this "great" victory, whether it is a first-level knighthood or a first-level military rank, it is justified. But now the only one who holds the title of prince is the old eunuch Menshikov. As Nicholas I's most trusted confidant, he can get this title.

And once such a title is added to Paskovich, it will easily lead to too many future prince titles. After all, there are still many veteran generals, such as Duke Mikhail, Peter Volkonsky, and Fedoro Fedorovich Berg. The veterans who participated in the 1812 war have all the qualifications and meritorious service. It would not be a good thing for Alexander II if they were all promoted to princes.

But Nicholas I couldn't give Paskovich and Duke Mikhail away with the medal. If Artur hadn't surrendered to Paskovich, then Nicholas I could send "Father" with the medal, but "Father" picked up a head for nothing, which made things suddenly complicated.

"What's the domestic opinion?" Li Xiao asked Duke Alexander.

"Domestic?" Duke Alexander sneered, "Under the control of our Majesty, it's fine to see the domestic opinions sincerely, no matter how vigorous and lively it is, it's useless!"

Li Xiao thought for a while and asked again: "Then have you found out what His Majesty means?"

Duke Alexander glanced at Li Xiao meaningfully. Obviously, he also realized that Li Xiao knew that he had a channel to quickly obtain domestic news, especially the attitude of Nicholas I. It was obvious that this little fox was also very sensitive.

"The news I heard is that His Majesty wants neither a title nor a military rank!"

Li Xiaoxin said: "This is just like the old bastard I know! If Nicholas I was really so generous, he would make the sun shine in the west."

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Then how are you going to do it?"

Duke Alexander looked at Li Xiao meaningfully again, because this question was very unusual, this kid didn't ask his attitude, but asked him directly what he was going to do, which meant that he realized that he would definitely help Mi Duke Hayle strives to be promoted to at least one rank!

However, Duke Alexander did not answer Li Xiao, but instead asked: "What do you think is a better way to operate?"
