Struggle in Russia

In fact, Li Xiao thinks that the Austrians are not the most important reason. The most important thing is that Hungary is too close to Russia. Without Nicholas I, the crap stick, the Hungarian revolution may not be impossible.

Of course, according to the theory of historical materialism, without Russia, other shit sticks will actually mess up the situation. Because the foundation of the revolution in 1848 was actually not particularly good. Only the United Kingdom and France were slightly industrialized, and Russia and Austria were actually not strong in industrial workers.

After all, the theme of this revolution is actually similar to that of the French Revolution, which is the contradiction between the people and the aristocratic monarchy. It's just that it is bigger than the French Revolution in terms of scale, and it can be regarded as the death knell of the monarchy!

But precisely because the leading force was not strong enough, most of the revolutionary movements were quickly extinguished, and only in a few areas where the monarchy was the most serious and the ethnic conflicts were the most prominent, such as Austria.

The big platter of Austria is full of cracks, who made the Habsburg family like to stretch out their hands everywhere. The Apennine Peninsula has it, the Balkans has it, and Central Europe has it, and there is no peace in the whole, so it is normal for the turmoil to be intense.

Anyway, Li Xiao is not optimistic about the future of the Habsburg family. This family has entered the end of its rule, and if there is no accident, it will collapse sooner or later. The revolution of 1848 was just a rehearsal. Anyway, after this revolution, the Vienna system and the Holy Alliance would be over. At that time, only the naive Nicholas I thought that everything was business as usual, and he did not expect that the two allies were already in the same bed.

"Then we have to encourage the Hungarians!" David Lebouf said with a smile, "Do you want to go to Bratislava?"

Going to Bratislava is naturally to pursue Gergey Altur, but Li Xiao does not intend to leave Pace so soon. Although there is a letter of introduction from Jan Constantine, he does not like to leave all Put all your eggs in one basket.

After all, Li Xiao's knowledge of Gergey Altur comes from the cold words in the books. It's hard to say how much truth there is, and everyone knows that as long as it is an author, it will inevitably have personal preferences. Like Gergey Altur's nature made him a hero, while his dislike of his nature belittled him as a devil.

All of these are like looking at flowers in a fog, and they don't help Li Xiao to understand the true face of Gergey Altur. It's hard to say what kind of virtue this person is, so don't get too hopeful.

Li Xiao is more used to paving a few more roads and advancing on multiple roads. Even if one or two roads are affected, it will not prevent him from reaching the end.

"Go to the consulate general first. Even if we have to do things in the future, we can't do without the cooperation of the consul general. Let's see his humanity first!"

Going to Hungary under the banner of France to make trouble, Li Xiao naturally had to make good use of the French cause. He had to see the temper of the Consul General in Perth first, so that he could find out in advance if it was a stick.

"Uncle David, tell me about the Consul General, his preferences and style of doing things!"

David Lebouf nodded. Although he is from Turkey, Austria, as the top power in the Balkans, and right next door to Turkey, must know a lot of the inside story.

"Count Charles de Perse is a staunch Orleanist. He used to be an attendant of Louis Philippe. Later, he performed outstandingly in the July Revolution and was promoted to be a diplomat. He was a minister in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Apart from being lustful and greedy for money, there is nothing wrong with her, she is quite shrewd in her work!"

[Supporters of the Orleans Dynasty! 】

Li Xiao shook his head in his heart. He was very pessimistic about the future of the Consul General. After the February Revolution, the Orléans faction belonged to the remnants of the previous regime. Whether it was the short-lived republic or the Second French Empire, they were incompatible with this vote. I am afraid that the earl will have to pack up and leave soon.

The only good news is that this guy is pretty smart.

Other lust and money-making are not big problems. Being an official in Europe these days, there are not many who are not lecherous and do not make money.

However, upon seeing the earl for the first time, Li Xiao found out that this guy was out of his mind. Obviously, he was in a bad state. Unsurprisingly, the revolution in France must have distracted his energy. Waiting for the judgment of fate in trepidation!

Therefore, Li Xiao and David Lebouf, the Earl of Perth, were not very interested, and were even a little confused as to why these two men came to him.

"Your Excellency the Consul General, Mr. Diomede is a good friend of mine. He plans to come to Perth to invest in Pace recently, but you know that the situation here is a bit chaotic, so he specifically begged me to come and visit you. I hope you can give me some advice. Reasonable advice..."

The Earl of Perth looked at Li Xiao strangely, and he could see that he might suspect that there was something wrong with his hearing. What kind of ghostly idea is it to invest in the chaotic and precarious Pace! Aren't you afraid that chickens will fly and eggs will hit blue water?

Even if you take a step back, you girl is not afraid of losing money, but you have to take care of your own life, right? Thinking about the number of innocent souls in the French Revolution, aren't you afraid of death?

Anyway, the Earl of Perth was quite confused. He looked at Li Xiao and then at David Leboeuf, probably roaring in his heart: 【Your David LeBoeuf is probably not a fool, is he? Is this little kid your friend or your enemy? You didn't stop him, but just watched him die? Your friend is too weird! 】

David Lebouf's expression was not particularly good, because he felt a little shameless. At first, he thought that the Earl of Perth should have realized it the first time he saw him, and made a good fortune in Wallachia. What did you say he came to Hungary to do.

David Lebouf felt that this was already a very obvious hint, and it was impossible for an old diplomat like Perth not to see it. But the problem is, the confusion on Perth's face has already explained everything, this guy really didn't react. Fortunately, he said before that this guy is smart, isn't he being slapped in the face in seconds!

So at this moment, David Lebouf was a little embarrassed. He secretly glanced at Li Xiao who was beside him, and he was relieved to see that the elder nephew was still calm and didn't mean to despise him.

However, he couldn't continue to watch his compatriots make a fool of themselves, and reminded again: "Mr. Diomede's previous investment in Bucharest was very successful, and the country also appreciates it very much, so he has the willingness to expand investment in the near future!"
