In fact, not only Duke Mikhail was firmly opposed to Li Xiao's continued sale of arms to the Hungarians, but Duke Alexander also felt that someone should stop in moderation. After all, this matter is turning an elbow outward, which is extremely detrimental to Russia. What I did before was to cheat Paskovich, so I can't even cheat Duke Mikhail!

But in Li Xiao's view, these are all selfish excuses. If you really use your elbows to talk about things, you have already turned your elbows when you cheated Paskovich. Either treat them equally or don't beep.

You brothers applaud when you can't cheat Paskovich, now it's your turn to take the moral high ground and criticize vigorously, right?

Anyway, Li Xiao despises this practice of being more lenient than self-discipline and stricter than others, that is to say, his status is too far from that of Duke Alexander and Duke Mikhail, otherwise he would really want to make some sarcasm.

"The Duke has obtained His Majesty's approval, is he ready to march to Transylvania?"

Although Li Xiao didn't promise to terminate the arms deal, Duke Alexander knew from his question that this guy still knows how to measure. The only benefit of talking to a smart person is to stop it.

Then he nodded and said: "Yes, His Majesty has ordered Mikhail to march to Transylvania to contain the Hungarians from the flank!"

Li Xiao roughly calculated that with Duke Mikhail's troops, he must guard against the Turks and control Wallachia and Moldavia. There are too many, and there will be only 30,000 to 50,000 people.

This amount of troops is indeed not enough, because Paskovic has at least two to three hundred thousand troops. Although he is still gathering towards Hungary, he must be the main force to destroy Hungary.

With the strength of Duke Mikhail, he can't get much meat, so he is so sensitive to the arms deal, because his strength is too weak. If the Hungarians are too strong, he can only sit and watch Pascoe. Vicki's performance.

And this is the fundamental reason why he firmly asked Li Xiao to terminate the arms deal. Just imagine that if Hungary had nothing to do with him, he would not only not stop Li Xiao, but would open the door of convenience and even go into the arms business in person. Anyway, he was cheating Paskovich. What does the Tao have to do with him.

It is precisely because Duke Mikhail's troops are too weak, so he naturally hopes that the enemy is also weaker, so that he can take credit for it. I have to say that this calculation is enough!

However, Li Xiao believed that Duke Mikhail's calculation was not completely correct. Although his troops were small,

But it doesn't mean that if Hungary becomes stronger, he won't get any benefits. On the contrary, it is precisely because of his weak force that Hungary has become stronger, so he can reap more benefits!

Li Xiao's theories made Duke Alexander dumbfounded. If someone hadn't always been so smart, the Duke would have thought him crazy.

"The reason is very simple!" Li Xiao analyzed eloquently: "Looking at the current situation in Hungary, Kossuth's troops are mainly distributed in the Balkhatia Mountains and the front line of Vienna, which account for almost 80% of his troops. Obviously, he believes that the main threats come from these two directions!"

Duke Alexander nodded, because as long as you are not blind, you can tell. After all, there are two to three hundred thousand people in Paskovich in the north, and more than a hundred thousand people in Windischgritz and Jerachich in the west. Transylvania in the front has only 10,000 to 20,000 people, and the combined forces of Croatia and Serbia in the south have only 10,000 to 20,000 people.

As long as Kossuth is not blind or stupid, he must place the main force in the north and west. There is no reason to use the main force to deal with the Croatian and Serbian stragglers in Transylvania and the south.

Li Xiao nodded and continued: "In other words, in the eyes of Kossuth and the Hungarians, Duke Mikhail is not the key issue at all. No matter what, it is impossible for him to mobilize heavy troops to fight the Duke, right?"

Duke Alexander said: "That's natural!"

"Since this is the case, can it be said that even if I continue to sell arms to Kossuth, most of his armed forces will be devoted to dealing with Austria and Paskovich, and it is impossible to send too many troops to the east and south?" How many hands?"

Duke Alexander was stunned, and the reasoning was indeed the same. He knew what someone wanted to say, and immediately frowned and retorted: "Even if only a small part of Hungary's enhanced military force is sent to the east, it is not considered strong in the first place." Still a big problem for the Transylvanian army and Prince Mikhail!"

"No, no, no!" Li Xiao shook his head again and again, "You have to think about it this way, if we can use reasonable means and strategies to make the Hungarians feel that the risk behind them is very small, or even no threat, do you think he will put the increased force on the ground?" Where is it?"

Duke Alexander frowned. He understood what Li Xiao meant. It was nothing more than showing weakness to the enemy. He asked Duke Mikhail to pretend to be weak so that the Hungarians could take it lightly and let them send their main forces to the north and west. Then when the time was right, Duke Mikhail made another surprise attack, catching the Hungarians by surprise.

Duke Alexander touched his chin. Although this plan has certain risks, it does have the possibility of success, because as Li Xiao analyzed, the Hungarians always feel that the threat from the north and the west is greater. After all, the two ends together The nearly half a million troops are no joke.

Li Xiao also continued to persuade: "The key to the success of the plan is to show the enemy weak. Duke Mikhail's actions must not be too big. It is best to keep releasing bad news to paralyze the Hungarians. Vania's channel sells arms to the Hungarians, making them think that Transylvania is not a threat, so the main force must be mobilized to the north and west..."

Duke Alexander let out a long sigh. He admitted that he was once again persuaded by Li Xiao. This kid is indeed a bit of a ghost, and he can often use some unexpected reasons to make you fall in love. For example, follow his plan now, which can kill two birds with one stone .

Being able to continue to bully Paskovich can also make Hungary relax its vigilance. As long as Duke Mikhail does not lose the chain in the end, the problem will definitely not be big.

"You convinced me, how about this, you immediately take my letter to Transylvania and tell Mikhail my latest judgment, um..." Duke Alexander suddenly paused, with some hesitation Said: "As for the arms trade, it's best to keep it a little more hidden, and it's best not to eat alone, after all, other people are not fools..."
