Struggle in Russia

Prince Alexander Gorchakov also nodded, feeling more and more that Li Xiao has a future. After all, this child is not yet twenty years old, so he can see such a long-term view, and in time he will become a great weapon!

However, Duke Alexander Gorchakov immediately thought of another layer. Judging from Li Xiao's current potential, he is more than a little bit stronger than Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine. Give him time to grow up slowly, and I am afraid that Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine will be beaten by him in the future, okay?

Of course, this was just a passing thought, because he immediately thought that Nicholas I is still fierce, and after so many years of strong suppression by his majesty, basically everyone in Russia agrees with Nicholas I. The legal right to rule of the line of La I. No matter how powerful Li Xiao was, he couldn't do anything to shake the world. He felt that at most it was putting some pressure on Crown Prince Alexander, and it might be good for Russia.

So he just pretended not to pay attention to this issue, and asked directly: "What do you think we should do?"

Li Xiao still didn't directly answer this question, but asked again: "Duke, according to you, Wendisch Gretz was completely defeated by Schwarzenberg this time, and has basically lost the possibility of aspiring to the throne of Austrian Prime Minister. ?"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov was stunned again, because he realized that someone was trying to play the Wendisch Gretz card? The problem was, he didn't think it was a good idea. Because Wendisch Gretz was a disastrous defeat, almost powerless to fight back, there was no way for him to cause any trouble for Schwarzenberg at all!

"For the time being!" Li Xiao replied with a smile, "but please think about it, according to the current division of power, when Grand Duke Franz Karl succeeds in the future, Schwarzenberg must be the Prime Minister of Austria, and You must be in power alone... Even if you still have the card of the Grand Duchess, you can play a dozen cards, but according to Austrian practice, the Grand Duchess can play very little role!"

"And once Schwarzenberg takes power, the humiliation he suffered with us before will inevitably find ways to get revenge, which is extremely detrimental to us! I think we must find ways to check and balance him and find him more An opponent, let him not be so comfortable!"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov nodded, but replied: "I support your opinion, but I don't think Wendisch Gretz will be Schwarzenberg's opponent..."

Li Xiao chuckled and said: "Whether they are opponents or not, their relationship has been completely broken, and they can't join hands to fight against us like before... In my opinion, Wendisch Gretz is a stubborn person at first glance. He won't let go of this hatred easily. What we need to do is to give him a chance! What's more, he still controls the military power in name, and there are still many battles to be fought in the future to counter the rebellion. If he can fight a few more With a victory, there is no possibility of recovering strength!"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov rubbed his chin. Although he was still not optimistic about Wendisch Gretz, he still listened to what Li Xiao said. This person is indeed more ideal. Now he must hate Schwarzenberg to death. , if he had the chance, he would let this uncle go?

Prince Alexander Gorchakov knows how ugly human nature is. The more friends or relatives betray him, the more violent and violent they become. With Wendy Schrätz's temper, Schwarzenberg will never die. If he If you can really do this, even if you are at an absolute disadvantage, it is worth investing in.

For a while, Duke Alexander Gorchakov was moved, but his heart does not mean he agreed, because it is still too difficult to achieve it. With Wendisch Gretz's current state, let alone confront Schwarzenberg , not even qualified to be hanged and beaten by the opponent, if they really match up, they will be abused.

What's more, Duke Alexander Gorchakov is still not optimistic about Wendisch Gretz's character. This person is not suitable for politics by nature.

And this guy is an out-and-out patriot,

For the sake of Austria, he can risk everything and want him to follow Russia's baton, that is really too much thinking!

"You are right, Wendisch Gretz's character is definitely a big trouble, this person is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, and he will never know how to change it!"

Li Xiao didn't hide anything, and bluntly commented on Wendisch Gretz's disadvantages. In this regard, there was really no way to clear him up, because he was just a bunch of fluff.

But Li Xiao immediately said: "But, Duke, this is Wendisch Gretz's shortcoming, but it is also his strong point!"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov was stunned. He didn't understand why Li Xiao said that, because he didn't think it was an advantage at all. Could it be that stupidity is also an advantage?

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Of course it is an advantage. Stupidity and stupefaction also have corresponding advantages. If Wendisch Gretz is as cunning as Schwarzenberg, do you think we still have a chance to manipulate him?"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov's cheeks twitched twice, which makes sense. If Wendisch Gretz is also a thousand-year-old vixen, then there really is nothing wrong with them. It is indeed a good thing for people to be stupid and easy to be seen through and easily manipulated, but the problem is that this is not next to Wendisch Gretz!

He immediately vomited: "But that guy is neither stupid nor stupefied, but a single-minded person. There is no way to control it!"

As he said that, he spat again sharply: "I wish he was as cunning as Schwarzenberg, then we don't need to do anything, and the two of them will fight on their own!"

Li'er was right. If Wendisch Gretz was smart and resourceful enough, he wouldn't be bullied so badly by his uncle, and he wouldn't even be able to fight back. This fully shows that he has always been a political pig, who can only be slaughtered by others, and has no investment value!

But Li Xiao didn't think so, he replied with a smile: "Duke, I think you may have misunderstood manipulation. It's not that we directly cooperated with Wendisch Gretz, instructing him to do this or that is called manipulation." .”

Prince Alexander Gorchakov was stunned, because isn't that how operations are done? Are there other means?

Li Xiao smiled confidently: "Of course there are other means, at least we can't manipulate people like Wendisch Gretz so directly, we have to use some skills!"
