Chapter 322 Send people to Shanghai quickly! We can’t afford to lose! (Please vote, please order)
Nicholas I has been the Tsar for nearly thirty years. When he first took over, he was not a good emperor who was loved by the people as he is now. At that time, he was stepping on the property of the Decembrists and scrolling.
The tyrant who ascended the throne in the revolutionary storm.
But later, he relied on a single operation to be as fierce as a tiger. From a reactionary tsar who was hated even by his noble buddies, he worked step by step to the point where he could walk around alone in the streets of Petersburg wearing the tsar's iconic military uniform and three-cornered hat.
of Russia’s “loving father”.
In the second year after Nicholas I became Tsar, he brazenly launched the Russo-Iraqi War! The war lasted for nearly three years, and finally he won a complete victory. He seized Yerevan and Khnachivan, and returned the war to Russia.
Demanded compensation of 5 million tomans from Iran.
The Russo-Iraqi War has not yet come to an end, but the Eighth Russo-Turkish War has begun over there. It was another bloody battle for one or two years. The Russian army once again won a complete victory and fought all the way along the Balkan Peninsula to Adrianople.
Constantinople is not far away.
If Britain and France hadn't been unhappy, the Turkish Empire would have been gone!
However, in the subsequent "Peace of Adrianople", Turkey was still forced to cede a lot of land to Russia, and also recognized the autonomy of Moldavia and Wallachia, the independence of Greece, and the autonomy of Serbia again, so that
Control over the Balkans has been greatly reduced.
Just a little over a year after the Eighth Russo-Turkish War, Nicholas I encountered 1830, the great year of European revolution, so he decisively sent troops to suppress the Polish revolution, sending 120,000 troops and fighting for ten months.
The Kingdom of Poland was transformed into a satrapy of the Russian Empire by the King of Poland.
After this series of conquests, the Russians, who originally did not support him very much, finally recognized that Nicholas I was a good man who could fight.
There is only one criterion for the Russian people to judge whether the Tsar is good or bad, and that is whether he can win the war?
As long as he can win the battle, he is a good tsar and a holy lord and wise king!
If he can't win consecutive battles, then this tsar is definitely not a good tsar, but a loser and a fool who deserves to be sentenced to death.
As a good tsar who had fought many wars since he came to power, Nicholas I had great experience in winning wars, that is, he must find an enemy that is easy to deal with.
Look at who Nicholas I has fought since he came to the throne. Iran, Turkey, Poland, and the Austrian army that suppressed the Hungarian Revolutionary Party during the 1848 revolution. Compared with the powerful Russian Empire, these are not enough.
And this time the ninth Russo-Turkish War was no exception. The enemy chosen by Nicholas I was obviously the weak Turkey!
Why did Britain and France get involved?
"Isn't Napoleon III afraid of losing everything after losing to Russia like his uncle?"
Looking at the predictions in the first volume of the "Great Book of Prophecies", Nicholas I murmured to himself: "I can't afford to lose, and Napoleon III can't afford to lose. He is going to lose...\n.\n.\n
.\n.The Bonaparte dynasty will soon be over! How dare he bet...\n.\n.\n.\n.Who will win this war in the end?"
"Father," Crown Prince Alexander reminded in a low voice, "send someone to Shanghai! While Britain and France have not yet declared war, our sailing battleships can still leave the Gulf of Riga. Immediately send someone to Shanghai to set up an embassy, ​​and then find a way to contact us.
The prophet of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom..."
The Tsar glanced at Alexander: "Sasha...\nDo you really believe that the Great Prophecy comes from the prophet?"
Prince Alexander said: "Whatever...\n.\n.\n.\n. Prophet, angel, devil...\n.\n.\n.\n. No matter what it is, as long as it can help Russia
Just win the war! Father, we can’t afford to lose! Moreover, Napoleon III can’t afford to lose either! If we don’t send people, he will too!”
The corners of the Tsar's mouth twitched.
It's not just him who can't afford to lose, but also Napoleon III. Victoria doesn't care. She has enough bargaining chips. A small defeat cannot shake the foundation of the British Empire. Moreover, there is a Prime Minister who can throw out the blame, no matter what.
Let the Queen step down.
But Napoleon III, the French emperor who came to power by relying on his uncle's reputation, was in the same situation as the Czar, or even worse!
A major defeat would definitely lead to the immediate collapse of the newly restored Bonaparte dynasty.
In order to win, Napoleon III will do whatever it takes...\n.\n..\n.\nEven if he really cooperates with the devil, he will not hesitate!
"Yes!" The Tsar gritted his teeth, "He can't afford to lose...I can't afford to lose either...Sasha, send someone to Shanghai! Immediately! Hurry up and make arrangements. Remember, we must
Send the most reliable people to Shanghai."
"Yes, father!" Crown Prince Alexander said again: "Oh, one more thing, our ambassador in London sent a telegram saying that Napoleon III's cousin Princess Mathilde is in London these days...\n
.\n.\n.\n. In addition, in a few days, the Qing delegation will go to France, and then to Rome! You see...:::
The Tsar narrowed his eyes and said, "Mathilde, that's a sociable person...\n...\n. Well, do we have anyone we can send to Western Europe for a walk?"
"Only Nata can go now. Her mother is the princess of the Kingdom of Württemberg," Alexander hesitated, "and she is now at the right age for a blind date, so she can go to Western Europe...\n.\n..
\n.\n”
The Tsar shook his head: "Then let her go, and let the Secret Service send a few capable people to serve as her entourage...and bring more money. As long as our people have a way to connect with the Qing people, it will be fine."
Already."
"By the way, father, there is a priest here in Petersburg who came back from the Qing Dynasty. His surname is Tupolev."
"Ask him to follow!" the Tsar said immediately, "and send a telegram to Olga in Württemberg and ask her to make arrangements."
Olga of Württemberg is Olga Nikolayevna, the daughter of Tsar Nicholas I. She is now the queen of the Kingdom of Württemberg. She came forward to arrange for Natalya Mikhailev
It was perfectly normal for the Grand Duchess Napoleon to go on a blind date in Western Europe. Even Napoleon III could not have stopped her. It seemed too ungraceful.
The emissary sent by the Tsar happened to be pretending to be Natalia's entourage to contact the Qing envoy.
"Yes, father."
Brown's Hotel, London.
At this time, Mathilde was sitting naked on the sofa in the bedroom, holding an English version of the second volume of the "Great Book of Prophecy" in her hand and reading it carefully.
The second volume of "The Great Book of Prophecy" contains a lot of content, but the focus is on things related to Russia, France, Japan, Turkey, and Britain.
Mathilde looked at it carefully twice and was a little disappointed...\n...\n. It seemed that in 1854, she had no chance to get a queen's crown!
It seems that she has to continue to be single, occasionally being a bed partner for the French Emperor, and she can also go out to find food by herself...\n.\n.
"!!....
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the room where Mathilde was.
"Who?" Mathilde felt something was wrong as soon as she opened her mouth... She seemed to have "sneaked" into Secretary Li's room.
"It's me, Your Highness the Princess."
The voice coming from outside was French, and it was a woman's voice. It was Mathilde's maid, Chloe.
"Chloe, come in, the door is unlocked."
There was a soft creaking sound, and a woman in her early twenties with a round baby face and blond hair walked in quickly holding a skirt and holding a newspaper in her hand. She saw Princess Mathilde's face.
He looked bold and did not feel surprised at all. He just handed the newspaper in his hand to the princess and said: "Please look at the front page."
"Oh... this is "The Times"?" Princess Mathilde unfolded the newspaper, turned to the front page, glanced at it, her face changed slightly, and then whispered, "The Battle of Sinop
..::..That’s in the Black Sea, right?”
"Yes, it is the same as what was predicted in the first volume of the Great Prophecy...
Mathilde raised the book in her hand, smiled and said to the lady in front of her: "Chloe, this is the second volume of the "Great Book of Prophecy", which predicts what will happen in 1854! Help me there.
Book a ferry ticket, I'm going back to Paris...\n....\nAlso, get my checkbook over here!"
"Checkbook? You want..." Chloe was stunned.
Chapter completed!
