The nature of the matter is very bad, and the most important thing is that Russia has no reason at all in this matter. Even if you use the excuse of protecting the Bulgarian Orthodox brothers, you cannot directly subvert other people's political power for no reason. If you do this
If you do it, you will make it clear that you want to cause trouble and become an enemy of Turkey.
After all, Bulgaria now nominally belongs to Turkey, which is recognized by a series of international treaties. Are you polar bears now blatantly hostile to the international order and overturning everything before?
Anyway, after the incident, Russia was very passive in the international public opinion, and the whole of Europe was unanimous in condemning Russia's atrocities. In particular, the United Kingdom and France directly notified the Russian ambassador and issued the most severe warning, demanding that Russia immediately rein in the situation!
Although Nicholas I was a bit reckless, he was not completely crazy when doing things. Moreover, he was a person who wanted to save face. Now that he was being pointed at and scolded by others internationally, he was naturally very angry.
Why was he angry? Because he really did not instruct anyone to instigate the incident in Veliko Franovo. He had no idea about this, so naturally after being scolded, he felt that this was a scapegoat for some bastard minister.
He is not a person who likes to take the blame, so he must find the mastermind behind the scenes and teach him a lesson, otherwise he will feel aggrieved by this tone!
Who was the mastermind behind the incident? Wallachia, the city closest to the incident, was naturally the most suspicious. So Nicholas I immediately wrote a stern letter of reprimand to Alexei, asking Alexei to explain.
what on earth is it!
Well, Alexey just couldn't laugh or cry. He was like a man who came from the sky to take the blame at home. How did he know that the Bulgarians were so crazy that they suddenly did such a bastard thing. In the past few months, he has
He has always been strict with his subordinates and not allowed to participate in the troubles in Bulgaria.
Who would have thought that even with such strict defense, something would happen, and that such a big mess would happen.
"How to explain?" Alexey yelled, cursing, "How the hell do I know why the Bulgarians are so crazy? What does this have to do with me! Let me explain, what should I explain!"
Alexei feels that the problem is ultimately Nicholas I's fault. If you, the Tsar, hadn't been clamoring to invade Bulgaria, otherwise the people below could have been so rampant? Now that you are encouraging big things, just pat your butt.
There is no sense in denying the account!
It’s just that Alexei couldn’t reply to Nicholas I directly like this. After all, it is politically correct to engage in Bulgaria. If he doesn’t condemn Turkey, he would be turning his elbow outward. He cannot eat Russia’s food and throw Russia’s blame.
But Alexei really doesn't want to take the blame. What does this have to do with him? He obviously tried his best to guard against it, but who can stop the Bulgarians from committing suicide?
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Actually, this matter is not as difficult as you think. Anyway, you just said that the matter was entirely caused by the relegation Bulgarians and had nothing to do with you. Who made almost all anti-Turkish forces in Bulgaria now
They are all talking about us, which also shows that our country has a great influence on Bulgaria and has been highly recognized by Bulgaria!"
Alexey almost burst out. This kind of nonsense is nonsense. But it is just right to deal with Nicholas I. You can't listen to it and still lecture me, saying that I shouldn't let Russia have such a big power in Bulgaria.
Influential, right?
After hearing these words, Nicholas I, who was obsessed with face, probably lost all his anger. After all, the greater the influence of Russia in Bulgaria, the closer Bulgaria will be to Russia. This is definitely a good thing. And these good things have been done.
How can Alexei criticize?
Criticizing him is not criticizing the incorrect policy towards Bulgaria, it is not like shooting oneself in the foot!
Nicholas I would definitely not do such a stupid thing, and Li Xiao also gave him a reason to explain the past internationally, that is, everything has nothing to do with Russia, and was done by some people with ulterior motives to frame Russia.
Anyway, judging from the intention of Britain and France, they didn't feel like they would immediately turn against each other and declare war. With such an explanation, it makes sense.
But Alexei suddenly asked: "What about Veliko Franovo? If you answer the Turks like this, they will definitely attack and recapture that city immediately!"
Li Xiao rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "What does that have to do with you? Since those Bulgarians who want to cause trouble dare to cause trouble, they must be mentally prepared to be settled. There is no reason not to deal with them.
!”
Alexey was stunned, because emotionally he sympathized with the Bulgarians and wanted to help Bulgaria get rid of Turkish slavery. Even though the people in Veliko Franovo were very mean, he still sympathized with them.
s Choice.
But according to Li Xiao's meaning, that is to ignore it and let it fend for itself. Isn't this a bit unhuman?
As soon as Alexei proposed this idea, he was ruthlessly rebutted by Li Xiao: "This is not unkind, but a choice to assess the situation. If you choose to intervene, it will inevitably further intensify the conflict with Turkey. My friend, but
Don’t forget what our purpose is, we are against war. If you want Wallachia to be buried with you, you can sympathize with those Bulgarian bastards who are causing trouble!"
Alexey suddenly stopped talking, but he still asked a little unwillingly: "If we can't try to solve the problem of Veliko Flanovo peacefully, at least save the lives of those Bulgarians!"
Li Xiao asked disdainfully: "Why do you want to save their lives? Didn't they think about losing their lives when they messed up? Even if they didn't think about it, why didn't they think about it when they slaughtered the Turkish envoys?
What are the consequences of cruelty?”
Li Xiao glanced at Alexei for a moment and said decisively: "To put it bluntly, the more miserable their death, the better. It will just shock those bastards in Bulgaria who are ready to do whatever they want. If they are not punished, they can
Imagine what happens next!”
Alexei was speechless, because Li Xiao was right. If the Bulgarian aristocratic group was not taught a profound lesson, they would still continue to mess around unscrupulously, which would only make things more out of control.
Create trouble for Alexei and Li Xiao's war preparations.
Killing the chickens to scare the monkeys might make them restrain themselves a little! Anyway, Li Xiao is in favor of killing the chickens, because the Bulgarian monkeys really annoy him!
