Struggle in Russia

Chapter 403: The Road to the Future (Part 1)

Although the gamble is established, Li Xiao can still wait for the win. But this doesn't make much sense, after all, he and Alexei are still in the same wave, and Russia's disgraceful defeat is of no real benefit to someone.

What's more, it's only 1848 now, and it will take seven or eight years at the earliest to get the outcome, so we can't just sit and wait from now on!

The plate of Wallachia is still waiting for Li Xiao to harvest it! How is it possible to wait, it is completely impossible! It is impossible to wait, not for a lifetime!

"The most important thing now is to ensure our interests in Wallachia!" Li Xiao said to Alexei very seriously, returning to the subject.

Alexei disagreed with Li Xiao's statement, because he knew very well that what Li Xiao called "we" had to be quoted. He knew that Li Xiao's "we" only included a certain bastard prince himself, himself, Leonid, Vishniak, Boris, and possibly at most some foreign friends.

Alexey thinks that Li Xiao's cognition is too narrow. He thinks that "we" should be ranked first in Russia, and then it should be the "us" that Li Xiao knows.

Li Xiao sneered at this, and patiently educated: "First of all, our interests do not conflict with the great Russian Empire! Secondly, only the interests of the great Russian Empire can be better protected if we first protect our interests! Then , the interests of the great Russian Empire you know are probably limited to a very limited number of individuals. In the end, your narrow cognition is wrong!"

Alexei didn't think his cognition was wrong, or even thought there was any problem. He believed that as a courtier and servant of the tsar, he had an obligation to safeguard the interests of His Majesty the Emperor!

But he was ruthlessly ridiculed by Li Xiao: "Although we are His Majesty's subjects, our primary responsibility is to safeguard the interests of the great Russian Empire, not the interests of His Majesty or his small circle!"

"With all due respect, the personal interests of His Majesty and his small circle have greatly hindered the overall interests of the Russian Empire!"

Alexei screamed: "Nonsense! How is that possible, I think..."

Li Xiao stopped him immediately, and retorted unceremoniously: "What you think is not important at all, because you think it is so wrong! Don't you think the serf system that His Majesty is trying to maintain is beneficial to our country? ? That alone can knock your argument into pieces!"

Alexei was speechless for a moment, because he felt that what someone said was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it at all. Unless he says against his will that serfdom is really delicious! But the concubine really can't do it, okay? That thing is really disgusting to death, and it is only harmful to Russia as a whole!

As the leader and chief boss of the serf system,

Nicholas I was indeed a great hindrance, no! It should be against the interests of Russia.

But it was one thing to know what he said in his heart, and it was another feeling to say it so openly. Anyway, Alexei always felt weird and disrespectful.

"Humph!" Li Xiao scoffed at this, "You just dare to think and dare not speak out, who doesn't know what the result will be if you continue to do it like that...I say you don't even dare to insist on your true thoughts, even You don’t even dare to protect your own interests, so why talk about reforms!”

Alexei stared at Li Xiao dumbfounded, without saying a word, although he felt that there was something wrong with someone's words, but he didn't know how to refute them, so he could only be dumbfounded in the end.

After a while, Alexei said, "Well, what you said makes sense. So what should we do?"

Li Xiao showed a triumphant smile, bullying honest children is really interesting, isn't it, Alexei and Leonid are both poor honest children, the former is a little smarter, the latter is honest, of course Leon Ned is a bit of an idiot, so it's not that easy to fool around.

"Now it seems that His Majesty will definitely rebuild the order of Wallachia, but if it is rebuilt according to the intention of His Majesty and that group of old antiques, Wallachia will definitely suffer serious damage, and the final result will trigger the next even more Serious turmoil!"

"It is a great fortune for us to be able to re-dominate Wallachia this time... Next time, if the hatred and anti-Russia sentiment is stronger, the destructive power will be even greater. The relationship between us and the people of Wallachia The rift will also be more difficult to repair!"

Alexei nodded subconsciously. He thought what someone said made sense. From what he saw and heard, Russia had almost stink up the streets in Wallachia. There were not many Wallachians who liked Russia. indivual.

This time it's all about brute force to regain control, the next time there's more resentment and more powers involved in the subversion, Russia will lose Wallachia forever. This will be a heavy blow to Russia's long-term plan in the Balkans, and it is likely to cause an extremely bad chain reaction. To put it simply, what if Serbia is also affected by Wallachia?

Alexei believes that Russia must actively repair the rift and reverse its bad impression in Wallachia and Moldavia, which is much more important than fighting. And if those old antiques were to dominate Wallachia and Moldavia, then this is completely impossible.

"That's right!" Li Xiao immediately agreed, "So I think the job of rebuilding the order in Wallachia and Moldavia must belong to you!"

This conclusion made Alexei stunned, because he didn't intend it. After all, he was soft-spoken and had never done this kind of work. It seemed that he was not suitable, right?

"How could it be unsuitable? I think you are the most suitable candidate!" Li Xiao said without hesitation, "Do you think there is anyone in the ruling and opposition who knows the situation in Wallachia and Moldavia better than you? If you were the governor of Moldavia and Wallachia, you would neither extort money nor kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

Alexey nodded. He can indeed do these two points, but can he become the governor of Moldavia and Wallachia if he does these two points well? Besides, it seems that Nicholas I didn't intend to set up such a governor, did he?

"Why not?" Li Xiao guided, "Your Majesty has reached an agreement with Austria, and Austria has agreed that my country will restore order in Wallachia and Moldavia, right?"

Alexei nodded again, and Li Xiao continued: "Then Turkey also agreed to work with us to quell the rebellion in Wallachia, and then re-establish a new order?"
