Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 631: Riding a tiger

The Austrian side was really uncomfortable with Russia's sudden move, or caught off guard. According to their assumptions, this round of Russia can only smash the teeth and swallow it in the belly, and absolutely can only be beaten and not fight back.

Suddenly, the Russians showed their hideous fangs abruptly and rushed forward with a bite. If the Austrians were not surprised, it was absolutely fake.

"Are the Russians crazy?" Princess Sophie asked.

This question is actually a question in the hearts of other Austrian ministers. For example, Wendy Schgretz couldn't figure out where the Russians were so courageous, how could they dare to tear their faces with them under the pressure of Britain and France?

"We must see that the Russians did not come forward directly. According to the front line, it was the Wallachian National Army who launched the offensive against us. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with Russia!" The old marshal von Heinau interrupted and reminded us. .

In fact, he didn't need to remind everyone in this room, except for the same decoration, Franz Karl I didn't know, everyone else knew this well. It's just that this kind of statement that is almost ridiculous and stealthily in his eyes is meaningless, because everyone knows that the Wallachians are just Russian puppets. When will the puppets get rid of the chaos of the manipulator behind the scenes?

Crown Prince Franz Joseph immediately said: "Strictly speaking, but we all know what the truth is. It can be considered that Russia has absolutely gone to war with us. I think it is time to consider strengthening liaison with Britain and France. It is necessary. You can consider joining the coalition at some time!"

Prince Franz Joseph can be said to be the strongest anti-Russian stance in Austria. This is easy to understand. After all, the fundamental reason why he failed to become emperor last time was Russia's opposition.

Now that he still holds a firm anti-Russian stance, it is only natural that he is not in the majority among the high-level Austrians. Although most high-level officials are really dissatisfied with what the Russians did at the time, they are not. The meaning of declaring war against Russia.

And compared with Russia, Austria is not at all concerned about Britain and France. Once Britain and France win in Turkey, they will naturally infiltrate the Balkans. The strength of these two companies is much stronger than that of Russia, and their relationship with Austria is quite average, especially considering that this time they are still on Turkey's side, theoretically speaking, they can't deal with Austria.

After all, Austria’s consistent strategy is to resist Turkey’s **** of the Balkans and try to drive it out of Europe. Once Turkey has the support of Britain and France, it will be more difficult for Austria to take over the Russian steel gun and continue to repair Turkey.

From this perspective, as long as Turkey is still tied to a British and French chariot, the Austrians do not want to stand in a trench with Britain and France.

Wendy Schgritz immediately objected: "This is not appropriate. Once Russia is too weakened, then the power of Britain, France and Turkey in the Balkans will be greatly expanded, which is quite detrimental to us! With our national power, we cannot resist British and French imposing power alone. Influence!"

This was immediately supported by von Heinau, Radsky and others. Compared with Russia, Britain and France were more terrifying and hateful. Once Britain and France were allowed to enter the Balkans, it would simply put a tiger into the house.

This is not only the insistence of the veterans, but even Princess Sophia agrees. She immediately said: "This is reasonable. We cannot resist the influence of Britain and France alone. If Russia is excessively weakened, it will also be extremely detrimental to us!"

After a while, Princess Sophia continued: "And morally speaking, we will also be at a disadvantage. After all, Russia has helped us before. Once we declare war against Russia regardless of the influence, it means that we will not be able to continue to maintain our traditional friendship with Russia. At that time, Russia will see us as enemies, so we will be even more isolated and helpless in the Balkans! This short-sighted approach is absolutely not desirable!"

Prince Franz Joseph's face was flushed after being taught. Obviously, the lesson from the old lady made him very shameless and deeply insulted him.

It’s just that the big guy doesn’t care if he’s happy or not, because the division of power among the top Austrians is a bit interesting. When Schwarzenberg died, the power vacuum he left was divided by Princess Sofia, Wendy Schgritz and others. In order to clean up, Crown Prince Franz Joseph did not get more power.

It is blunt to say that the masters of Austria today are Princess Sophia and Wendy Schgritz, and these two are obviously not as eager for quick success and quick success as Franz Joseph, knowing that if some things are done, there will be endless troubles.

So even Wendy Schgritz’s perception of the Russians is not particularly good, but it does not prevent them from making rational decisions.

The so-called rational decision-making is one thing to take advantage of Wallachia, but it is another thing to use force against Russia.

"Note to the Duke of Alexander, to make solemn representations and protests on the armed conflict in Transylvania, and ask the Russians to immediately apologize and start border demarcation negotiations!"

Princess Sophie made the decision swiftly. Obviously, her opinion was in line with everyone's wishes, because their original intention of doing things in Wallachia was to try to regain part of the interests in Wallachia.

As long as the Russians agree to negotiate, Austria can regain some of the benefits in its current form.

It’s just that Russia once again disappointed the Austrians~www.readwn.com~ Because of the Austrian note, Duke Alexander directly refused, and also simply rejected the negotiation request.

He said very clearly and very directly: "Border demarcation negotiations? Why don’t I remember there was a border dispute between Wallachia and your country? According to the border agreement signed between your country and our country and Wallachia in 1849, everything is Clear and clear, I don’t think there is anything unclear!"

Not only that, he also replied strongly: "As for the recent conflicts and disputes between your country and Wallachia, in my opinion, your country is completely unreasonable... As the protector of Wallachia, Russia will always Stand with Wallachia and resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Wallachia. If your country must take risks, then we can only accompany you to the end!"

Princess Sophie, Wendy Schgretz and others were at a loss by Russia's toughness, because they didn't expect this result at all, and the direction of the matter was completely different from their predetermined script.

Now, after Russia puts on a posture of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, the Austrians are beginning to be a bit hard to get off. They are also worried about the expansion of the conflict. If the conflict is not expanded, they will not be able to come to Taiwan. Remember the website of this site, www. biquxu.
