It can be seen that Russia's fear of France is more like a war trauma disease. It was frightened by France last time. As long as there is any trouble in France, it will be ignored and there will be panic.
To be honest, this is shameful, okay?
After Li Xiao mentioned this, both Leonid and Alexey felt that it would be a good idea to form an alliance with France, excluding the impact of conflicts of faith and historical grudges. France's military and economic strength, at least on paper,
The strength is much better than that of Prussia and Austria!
Moreover, the relationship between France and Britain is not very good. The two countries have been at odds with each other throughout history. From the perspective of fighting against Britain, wooing France has a much better future than fighting with Austria.
Dismember an Austria as the sun sets, and then everyone gathers around the table to connect with each other and form a new and more powerful Holy Alliance, with France taking Austria's place, and the entire European continent will be integrated into one, and even the British will be scared by that time
Bar?
When this idea emerged uncontrollably, both Leonid and Alexey suddenly felt that Austria was not that important. The benefits of carving up Austria were real, and everyone could be satisfied in all aspects. This was the above
The best strategy!
"This idea... Tsk, how did you get such a brain?" Alexei was not as reserved as Leonid. He was the first to express his admiration for Li Xiao, "You should go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you are better than
Count Neserrodie is much stronger. That old guy only engages in coordinationism and makes us keep accommodating the useless Austrians. We should let him go! Let you be the foreign minister!"
Leonid also sighed: "Although your plan is evil and despicable, I have to say that it is more beneficial to our country!"
However, Li Xiao's reaction was not very enthusiastic. Instead, he sighed: "So what? This plan will never be realized!"
Leonid and Alexey were about to refute, but after thinking about it for a moment, they suddenly smiled bitterly: "Indeed, there is no possibility of realizing it."
Why do you say that?
The reason is very simple. As long as the Russian Tsar is still Nicholas I, and the Russian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister are Neserrodie, then Li Xiao's plan will never be realized. Because these two are the most determined and most powerful people in his plan.
Strong opponents, they will never agree.
For Nicholas I, the Holy Alliance was his lifeblood. He felt that this alliance was the cornerstone of maintaining the European monarchy. As long as this alliance existed, his favorite monarchy would remain unshakable.
I am afraid that in the eyes of Nicholas I, opposing the Holy Alliance meant opposing the monarchy and trying to destroy his old life. He would never support it.
Judging from his subsequent performance in the 1848 revolution, he would rather consume Russia's national power and international prestige than save Prussia and Austria, where the revolution broke out. In particular, Austria, which was already struggling to its death, was completely brought back by him.
It can be seen from these that in his eyes, Russia's greatest interest is the monarchy, and everything else is nothing.
When faced with the same situation, a real politician would never choose the same path as Nicholas I. After the Crimean War, Russia was spurned by the entire Europe like a street rat. A large part of the reason was that Nicholas I was
