Struggle in Russia

Chapter 106 The Unrepentant Austrian

The attitude of the Austrians is a little strange. In essence, the Austrians are very happy to see the great situation of the Russians in Wallachia completely collapsed, because this place has been their back garden and private land for hundreds of years. People fought their lives to earn this piece of foundation, why should they just watch the Russians get their hands on it now!

In fact, Austria has a mentality of shabby settlement. Although the ancestors used to be rich, but now the phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken! Besides, although it is true that Wallachia once belonged to him, he has never really controlled this land effectively.

Otherwise, the suzerain of the current Principality of Wallachia and Principality of Moldavia should be Austria instead of Turkey. But in fact, on the contrary, the Turks are the legal owners of this piece, at least in name, and it is also recognized by Austria.

For hundreds of years, Wallachia, Moldavia, Transylvania and even Hungary have been at the forefront of the military confrontation between the Habsburg family and the Turks. This area has never stopped. Pass. The Austrians have never really gained a foothold here, otherwise the Brasov craftsmen would have been beaten away by a riot in the 17th century.

The Austrians say that Wallachia and Moldavia belong to them, which is a bit like the Chinese dynasty in later generations saying that a certain place has belonged to them since ancient times. It's all helpless, and it's all talk after being unable to actually control it, just listen to it, and let's talk about when it's serious.

So on the one hand, the Austrians are very happy to see the Russians who came from behind have a big fight in Wallachia, and they are ashamed and thrown to their grandma's house, and they can also hide in their own homes and secretly enjoy themselves. But at the same time, they also envy and hate Britain and France, because they can only secretly have fun, and they have no ability to try to get involved in Wallachia like Britain and France, because the national strength really does not allow it!

Even after the Austrian secretly enjoyed that second, his heart was full of worries. Because Britain and France are really not good things. If Wallachia really falls into their hands, it means that two more ruthless robbers lived in the backyard of the Austrian family, and they are in danger of being bombed!

What's more, Austria is also in chaos. An empire is in danger of falling apart. The Hungarian rebels are becoming more and more rampant. Even the Czechs are also rising together, beating the imperial army to cry for their fathers and mothers. The performance in Wallachia is really not much better.

And for the time being, the imperial army really has nothing to do with these rebels for a while, and it is quite reluctant to maintain the balance of power. If things continue like this, the Austrian Empire will really be over. At that time, let alone Wallachia, there will be no hope anymore. All Hungary and the Czech Republic will be separated. At that time, Austria will really be over!

Therefore, the Austrians generally still hope that the iron brothers of the Holy Alliance will come and give them a hand, and now the only iron brothers who can give them a hand are the Russians. After all, the Prussian and Hohenzollern families themselves are A butt of shit is not wiped clean,

There is no time to care about the life and death of Big Brother Germany.

This makes the Austrians very contradictory. They hope that the presence of the Russians in the Balkans, especially Wallachia, will be greatly weakened, but they also hope that the Russians can help them fight the fire. In this conflicting state of mind, they were all at a loss as to what to do.

"Your Excellency Count Speranski, it is difficult for me to agree to your proposal and request!"

The Consul General of Austria in Bucharest, Count Wenzel von Troppau, is tall and thin, surprisingly thin, his whole body is like a bamboo pole, his face has no flesh like a skin wrapped around a skull, what is even more frightening is this The skull's cheekbones are particularly high, and the eye sockets are very deep. It looks sharp and angular. Coupled with the dark skin, it looks like a living corpse.

The earl's voice was still very thin, as if he was about to lose his temper. Anyway, he gave Alexei a bad impression. It felt like his fallen motherland, and this person was not far from death.

After speaking the first half of the sentence, the earl took a full two-minute break before continuing: "It is already an exception to treat you and your companions. My country's consistent policy towards the Principality of Wallachia is non-interventionism. Respect for the autonomy of Wallachia and the sovereignty of Turkey . . . "

Don't look at this guy talking as if he was going to lose his temper, but he babbled about bureaucratic stereotypes in one set, anyway, it was smelly, long and unnutritive like foot wraps. After talking for a long time, it was equivalent to saying nothing.

This undoubtedly disappointed Alexei, because he felt that the Austrians should give him some face and convenience for the sake of the Holy Alliance. At least the big guys don't want Wallachia to fall into the hands of Britain and France, right?

But it is clear that the Austrians have lost all their imperial bearing. They are hesitant to do things. They want to take advantage of it without taking risks. By means of violence? And without letting the Austrians help out, they must punish the murderer and help their Russian friends find their way back.

However, Alexei was unwilling to give up on this. If he did not give a warning to the Provisional Government of Wallachia and the Bretianu brothers, they would definitely push their noses even further, and he would really be unable to do anything in Bucharest.

"Count, I heard that there were riots in Budapest similar to those in Bucharest and Wallachia?"

Earl Trobao's face immediately turned a little ugly, because Alexei's words were a bit harsh and a bit slap in the face, as if he was mocking: [You Austrians are not very good! I thought there was a joke in Wallachia, but now you have become a joke yourself! 】

Although the proud Austrians have fallen, their self-esteem is still very strong. Count Troppau immediately retorted: "Count Speranski, the riots in Budapest were just a small group of extreme violent elements instigated by extremist ideas with ulterior motives." An accidental incident! The country has already taken strong and effective measures and has taken control of the situation. I believe that this small group of villains will soon be brought to justice!"

Alexei was naturally contemptuous in his heart: 【You want to save face and suffer, so just hold on! 】

"Is that so!" Alexei showed a bewildered smile, and said again: "In this case, as the special envoy of His Majesty Emperor Nicholas I, I will convey to His Majesty the latest situation about Budapest, the Consul General. I believe His Majesty will be very happy to see that Austrian friends can solve the scabies by themselves without the help of our country, so that our country can go all out to solve the problem of Wallachia..."
