Prince Alexander Gorchakov knew how big the changes Hungary would bring. He was not worried that the Hungarians would bring a huge blow to Austria. Although this possibility was not impossible, it was too small.
What the Duke is really worried about is that the Hungarians, who have suddenly become more powerful, will be so arrogant that they no longer know their own surnames. The trade moves brought about by this inflated mentality are likely to cause them to suffer disaster, in case these guys haven't already
If Austria is completely messed up and collapsed, what can we do?
Now Duke Alexander Gorchakov is enjoying the pleasure of checks and balances. It is precisely because of the existence of the Hungarian Revolutionary Party that Russia can squeeze so many benefits from Austria.
Once the Hungarian Revolutionary Party is over, the good life of harvesting Austrian leeks will naturally come to an end. If it weren't for Nicholas I hating the Revolutionary Party from the bottom of his heart, he would have had the heart to suggest that His Majesty should cultivate the bandits and continue to harvest Austrian leeks.
.
Naturally, when he heard that the Hungarians were planning to counterattack, the Duke was extremely worried, fearing that the group would be wiped out accidentally.
"Don't worry, Duke. The Hungarians are not as fragile as you think, and Wallachia has sent enough weapons!"
Looking at the confident Li Xiao, Duke Alexander Gorchakov couldn't help but become more worried. He felt that the young man in front of him was getting carried away, otherwise he could say such a thing.
Of course, he could also understand Li Xiao's complacency. He would have been so complacent if he had done so many great things.
But to be honest, Li Xiao was not in a hurry, but really confident, because after settling the arms issue, he also did a big thing, which was to introduce Joseph Behm to Kossuth. The Polish veteran and Kossuth
Suter hit it off immediately and will soon be entrusted with important responsibilities.
This is very different from history. Bem intervened in this war earlier, and Hungary is in better shape, and still has enough strength to fight. I believe this will bring different surprises to the Austrians.
"Have you met Joseph Bem?" Duke Alexander Gorchakov was stunned and blurted out: "Don't you know that he is wanted by His Majesty?"
Well, Li Xiao really knew that Bem was wanted by Russia. As a patriotic general who extremely hated Russia and was determined to restore Poland's independent identity, Bem often caused trouble with Russia. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1830, this guy was
The artillery generals killed many Russians.
Of course, what is more unique about this guy is his stubborn temper. He sincerely refuses to compromise with Russia. After the failure of the Warsaw Uprising, his refusal to surrender his weapons when he was defeated by Prussia caused a fearless bloody conflict. This guy even proved that
There is an old saying that a person's faults are easy to break. His faults were shot in the face by his compatriots more than once.
However, Bem's biggest shortcoming is not that he is too strong, but that he always has problems with his mental state when facing setbacks. Once he suffers a setback, he will make mistakes, which will then cause a chain reaction. So overall, he is a strong player, but not a handsome man.
.
"I know!"
For Li Xiao, although Bem has various shortcomings, his military ability is still enough for the half-hearted Kossuth. What's more, his original intention is not to support the Hungarians to rise to power. Having an enemy with fatal flaws will instead
Easy to deal with.
"But Bem is the best choice now!"
Li Xiao explained patiently: "Kossuth's group knows nothing about military affairs. If they are left to their own devices, they probably won't be able to sustain it for long. But Bem is different. He is still somewhat capable, and he is currently the only one willing to help the Hungarians."
A military general. Apart from him, I’m afraid no one is willing to help the Hungarians!”
Duke Alexander Gorchakov was speechless for a while, but he could also understand Hungary's helplessness. No one in the country was so speechless. To be honest, only a desperado like Bem was willing to help, and that guy was probably a killer.
The idea was to instigate Hungarian independence, then use Hungary as a base to develop the Polish rebel army and finally fight back home.
I understand, but he did not support this approach. He said seriously: "This move of yours is definitely a bad move. Maybe you don't know that His Majesty hates Bem so much that he has sent people to try it more than once."
Get rid of them... Now that I heard that Bem is with the Hungarians, Nesserrodie and his gang will definitely prompt His Majesty to increase investment, which will be like helping the Austrian bastards!"
Li Xiao smiled and replied in a low voice: "Of course I know that my uncle hates Bem deeply, so I gave him and Kossuth a suggestion, that is, let Bem help under a pseudonym, as long as his name is
How exciting can it be if it doesn't appear openly on the battle report?"
Duke Alexander Gorchakov was stunned, because he had no idea that Li Xiao had such a skill, which made him look at Li Xiao with admiration. There are many smart and talented young people, but young people cannot avoid doing things without problems.
He may be irritable, but Li Xiao is as steady as an old dog. He has considered all aspects of the problem thoroughly and leaves almost no flaws. This is so rare!
He was slightly relieved, but Duke Alexander Gorchakov warned again: "Even so, you still have to be careful. After all, the third part is pervasive. Even if Bem uses a pseudonym, he can't hide it for long!"
Li Xiao nodded and agreed: "I know. In fact, we don't need to hide it for too long. We just need to buy a little more time for Duke Mikhail Gorchakov!"
After saying this, Duke Alexander Gorchakov and Li Xiao both smiled tacitly, because Nicholas I could not give the revolutionary party a way to survive, so the Hungarian revolution was destined to have no future. This made
The Duke and Li Xiao could not use it to achieve the purpose of dividing Austria.
In this case, we can only block the utilization of the wastes of the Hungarian revolution as much as possible and use them to create the greatest value. And the so-called greatest value is naturally to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and steal as much as possible from Paskovich.
's achievements.
Even if there is no way for Duke Mikhail to be promoted to prince, he must be given the title of Russia's number one general. With this title, the overall command of the next large-scale war will basically fall to him.
In the bag.
For Duke Alexander Gorchakov, this is a good opportunity to strengthen his own power. For Li Xiao, the so-called next war is likely to be the Crimean War. With Nicholas I's piss-taking behavior, there will definitely be another war.
Trap him to death, so if there is a commander-in-chief as the backstage, the safety factor will be improved by more than one level!
