In fact, Li Xiao feels that the most critical reason is not the Austrians. The most critical reason is that Hungary is too close to Russia. If Nicholas I did not exist as a troublemaker, the Hungarian revolution may not be successful.
Of course, according to the theory of historical materialism, without Russia, there would actually be other troublemakers. Because the foundation of the revolution in 1848 was not particularly good. The only countries that were really industrialized were the United Kingdom, followed by France, Russia, and Austria.
In fact, the power of industrial workers is not strong.
After all, the theme of this revolution is actually similar to that of the French Revolution, which was the conflict between the people and the aristocratic monarchy. It is just that it is larger in scale than the French Revolution, so it can be regarded as the death knell of the monarchy!
But precisely because the leading force was not strong enough, most of the revolutionary movements were quickly extinguished. The most serious riots occurred only in areas where monarchy was the most severe and ethnic conflicts were most prominent, such as Austria.
The Austrian platter is full of cracks, and the Habsburg family used to like to stretch their hands everywhere. It exists in the Apennine Peninsula, it exists in the Balkans, and it exists in Central Europe. There is no peace in the whole, so it is normal for the commotion to be fierce.
Anyway, Li Xiao is not optimistic about the future of the Habsburg family. This family has entered the end of its rule and will collapse sooner or later if nothing goes wrong. The revolution of 1848 is just a preview. Anyway, after this revolution, the Vienna System and the Holy Alliance will be finished.
, at that time, only the naive Nicholas I thought that everything was business as usual, and he did not expect that the two allies were already different bedfellows.
"Then we have to encourage the Hungarians!" David Leboeuf said with a smile, "Do you want to go to Bratislava?"
Naturally, he went to Bratislava to pursue Gergey Artur. However, Li Xiao did not intend to leave Pest so soon. Although he had a letter of introduction from Jan Constantine, he did not like to put all the people together.
All eggs are put in one basket.
After all, Li Xiao's understanding of Gerguy Artur comes from those cold words in books. It's hard to say how authentic it is, and everyone knows that as long as the author is an author, he will inevitably have personal preferences. Like
Gergey Artur's nature made him a hero, while those who didn't like him devalued him as a devil.
All of this is like looking at flowers in the smoke, and does not help Li Xiao understand the true face of Gerguy Artur. It is hard to say what kind of virtue this person has, so don't hold out too much hope.
Li Xiao is more accustomed to paving more roads and moving forward in multiple ways. Even if one or two of them are affected, it will not prevent him from reaching the end.
"Go to the Consulate General first. Even if we have to do something from now on, we can't do it without the cooperation of the Consul General. Let's take a look at his humanity first!"
To go to Hungary to cause trouble under the banner of France, Li Xiao naturally had to make good use of France. He had to first see what kind of temper the consul general in Pest had. If he was a stick, he might as well find out in advance that he was not.
"Uncle David, tell me about this consul general, his preferences and work style!"
David Leboeuf nodded. Although he was from Turkey, as Austria was a hegemon in the Balkans and was right next door to Turkey, he would definitely know a lot of inside information.
"Count Charles de Pers is a staunch Orleanist. He used to be Louis Philippe's attendant. Later, he performed outstandingly in the July Revolution and was promoted to be a diplomat. He served as minister to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and was a good person.
Apart from being lustful and greedy for money, I don’t have any big problems, and I’m quite smart in my work!”
【Supporters of the Orleans Dynasty!】
Li Xiao shook his head in his mind, and was very optimistic about the future of the Consul General. After the February Revolution, the Orleans faction was a remnant of the previous dynasty. Whether it was the short-lived Republic or the Second French Empire, they all followed this trend.
He is out of place. I am afraid that this count will have to pack up his bags and leave in a very short time.
The only good news is that this guy is quite shrewd in what he does, and other issues such as lust and money-making are not big problems. There are not many officials in Europe these days who are not good at sex and money-making.
However, when he met the count for the first time, Li Xiao discovered that this guy was distracted. It was obvious that he was in a very bad state. Unsurprisingly, the revolution in France must have distracted his energy. I am afraid that this guy was
Waiting for the judgment of fate with fear and fear!
Therefore, I have no interest in Li Xiao and David LeBoeuf, the Earl of Perth, and I am even a little confused as to why these two people came to visit me.
"Your Excellency, Consul General, Mr. Diomede is a good friend of mine. He plans to come to Pest to invest in the near future. But as you know, the situation here is a bit chaotic, so he specifically begged me to come and visit you. I hope you can give me some advice."
Reasonable advice…”
The Earl of Perth looked at Li Xiao strangely, and it could be seen that he suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing. Investing in Perth, which is in chaos and precarious, must be a genius idea! Aren't you afraid that the best thing to do is to lose everything?
!
Even if you take a step back, you girl is not afraid of losing money, but you have to take care of your own life, right? There were countless innocent souls in the French Revolution, aren't you afraid of death?
Anyway, the Earl of Perth was quite confused. He looked at Li Xiao and then at David Leboeuf. He was probably roaring in his heart: "Isn't your David Leboeuf a fool?"
Is this little brat your friend or your enemy? Why don’t you stop him and just watch him die? It’s so weird for you to be a friend!]
David Leboeuf's expression was not particularly good, because he felt a little embarrassed. At first, he thought that the Earl of Perth should have realized something as soon as he saw him and made things famous in Wallachia.
What do you think he did when he came to Hungary?
David Leboeuf felt that this was a very obvious hint. It was impossible for an experienced diplomat like Perth not to see it. But the problem was, the confusion on Perth's face said everything. This guy really didn't react.
.Fortunately, he said this guy was smart before, so he was slapped in the face instantly!
So at this moment, David LeBoeuf was a little embarrassed. He secretly glanced at Li Xiao beside him and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his nephew was still very calm and did not mean to despise him.
However, he could not continue to watch his compatriots make a fool of themselves, and reminded him again: "Mr. Diomede's previous investment in Bucharest was very successful, and the country also appreciated it very much, so he has recently become willing to expand investment!"
