If it is Austria's opinion, then Kateshkov can still choose to use official language to delay time, but if, as Kaunitz said, Prussia is also prepared to participate, things will be very serious.
If Prussia and Austria unite, we cannot calculate according to the formula of one plus one equals two. If two European powers put pressure on Russia together, Russia must consider it carefully.
At that time, there were five major powers in Europe, namely Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, and Russia. This name was created with real swords and guns, and was recognized by all countries.
Although Austria seems to be in decline recently, and Prussia has just experienced the trauma of the war, don't forget that Habsburg's hundreds of years of accumulation have made his influence spread all over the world, and although the Hohenzollern family has a long history
Short, but this family has always been brave enough to fight and dare to fight, which is enough to win the respect of all enemies.
Therefore, if Prussia and Austria unite to intervene in Polish affairs, Russia's current military operations in Poland will be seriously affected. If we think more deeply, Prussia and Britain are in an alliance, while Austria and France have not formed a nominal alliance.
Alliance, but now the person in power in France is the sister of His Majesty the Austrian Emperor, so the relationship between Austria and France is even deeper than that between Austria and Britain.
If Prussia and Austria win over their respective allies to stand against the Russians, wouldn't Russia become the enemy of the entire Europe? Kateshkov's body even trembled slightly when he thought of the horror, but now the top priority is to get information from the Prussians.
Set out the news whether Pu-Au has stood together.
Thinking of this, Kateshkov immediately ordered the embassy's driver to prepare his horse.
What Kateshkov didn't know was that Kaunitz had indeed discussed with Joseph II to involve France, but Joseph II believed that the combined efforts of Prussia and Austria could take a piece of flesh from the Russians. There was no need to put his own
His sister was also dragged in, and Joseph II was also worried that once France was brought in, the Russians might jump over the wall, and Austria might not get anything by then. Of course, he had another thought that he did not say out loud, let Joseph II
When his brother went to ask for his sister, Mary, Joseph II was really ashamed to ask.
Of course, Joseph II also firmly believed that the Russians would give in. Just as William thought, the Prussian-Austrian alliance could become a force that would make the whole of Europe tremble.
But it can still be scary.
This alliance between Prussia and Austria can be said to be about getting what each wants. Adhering to the principle of being a bastard if you don't take advantage of it, both sides decided to take advantage of the Russians, and the scale of taking advantage this time was a bit too big.
When Kateshkov learned from the Prussian ambassador that what Kaunitz said was true, his first feeling was that Prussia had gone crazy, and his second feeling was that Russia was going to suffer.
Not daring to delay, Kateshkov immediately returned to the Russian embassy, and then personally wrote a letter and handed it to his subordinates. At the same time, Kateshkov also told his subordinates to rush to St. Petersburg as soon as possible and hand over the letter to
In the hands of Her Majesty the Queen.
Not to mention Kateshkov's panic, in Kazakhstan, Poland, Jewski sat blankly on a chair and looked at the fire outside the window.
"Captain, my people can't hold it anymore. Those Poles are like dogs looking for the whereabouts of these weapons all day long. And it seems that the news that we have food in hand has leaked. I heard that among the refugees
Some people have already set their sights on us.”
When the captain heard what Vatov said, he immediately became furious and said:
"Idiot, how do those refugees know you have food?"
Hearing the captain's scolding, Vatov felt very aggrieved.
"Captain, it's not like you don't know that the city has been rationing food for three days. Except for our people, the Polish refugees have long been as hungry as green-eyed wolves. Seeing us, we are hungry all day long.
Full of energy. How could they not know there is something fishy about it?”
Vatov's grievance is not unreasonable. They are responsible for important tasks. If they don't feed their stomachs, how can they have the strength to do things? But in this way, their group of people is more conspicuous in the city. Now the whole Kazakhstan
Except for the garrison troops and some gangster organizations among the refugees, basically no one in the fort has enough food to eat. Even among those gangster organizations, only the leaders above can eat enough. In this way, Watteau, who is full of energy all day long,
My husband and others were naturally attracted by others.
"Made, you waste"
Although the captain also knew Vatov's difficulties, this did not weaken the anger in his heart.
"Captain, so are we. Not only are weapons hot, but food is also hot. Yesterday, I saw a group of people cooking the bodies of dead people in pots. We are really conspicuous."
The person speaking was the person in charge of Chengnan, named Richard.
"Okay, don't complain to me. I know your situation. Now tell me how many of you there are. Let me think about it."
"No. 37 people in the south of the city, twenty-one guns"
"No. 42 people from the north of the city, twenty-four guns"
"No. 43 people in the west of the city, thirty-five guns"
Vatov puffed up his chest proudly as he spoke. It was obvious that he had the most men and guns.
"Okay, okay, after adding my people, we have a total of 167 people and 116 weapons. By the way, Vatov asked you and the second group of people to enter the city.
Contact, have you contacted me now?”
"My captain, you have to know that there are tens of thousands of people in the entire Kazakh Fort, and there are nearly 20,000 refugees in the west of the city alone. I have tried my best, but I still can't find any trace of those people in the west of the city."
No, they have already been captured by the Poles.”
"Nonsense, they sent people to contact us last time. Go look for it again. Remember to stay hidden. After we find those people, we will determine the next plan."
As he spoke, the captain waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.
Vatov returned to his hometown with a lot of worries. Naturally, Hans had to carry out the tasks assigned by the captain unconditionally, but it was not easy to find that small group of people in the vast sea of people. He was thinking about Vatov.
His brows knitted together.
"Boss, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Vatov walking in with an unhappy look on his face, Datou immediately stepped forward to please him.
"By the way, Datou, have you found the person I asked you to find last time?"
"Hey, my boss, you don't know that the entire west side of the city is so big, and there are Polish soldiers standing guard at the street entrance. How do you want us to find those people?"
The big head defended while smiling apologetically, and his words convinced Vatov that it was a time when the wind was bad. At this time, there was no guarantee that those walking in the streets would not be caught by the soldiers, so all actions should be done with safety in mind.
as the first premise.
The room became quiet again. Apart from the two of them, there were more than a dozen people crowded in the room. However, Vatov did not speak. Naturally, the others did not dare to speak. In the Russian army, officers have the power of life and death over soldiers.
, so no one dares to make Vatov unhappy.
Just when Vatov was at his wits end, there was a knock on his door
"Who?" Hearing the knock on the door, Vatov suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Two mice came in"
Upon hearing this reply, Vatov's expression instantly changed from sadness to surprise.
"The first rat is already inside"
As he spoke, Vatov quickly walked to the door of the house and opened the door. He saw two thin people standing outside the door, one of whom had a big beard.
The so-called rats are something like a code. The first group is naturally the name of the first group of Russian troops who sneaked into the Kazakh Fort, and the second group can be understood as the second group of Russians who sneaked in, and
Comparing yourself to a mouse is indeed a very vivid metaphor.
"I think I'd rather meet the captain of the first team of rats."
"Of course. Just wait for me and I'll take you there right away. But now we have to search you."
"you"
Hearing that Vatov was about to search him, the bearded man was about to object but was stopped by the person next to him.
"Let them search. Only by being careful can you accomplish great things."
As he said that, the man opened his arms and walked to the wall. Seeing that there was an example, the bearded man glared at Vatov and then reluctantly walked to the wall and opened his hands.
As soon as Vatov signaled, Big Tou walked behind the two of them and touched them from top to bottom.
"Boss, they don't have anything with them"
"Well, please come with me."
Vatov said yes and asked the two men to follow him. At the same time, Vatov also made a gesture to Big Tou. After seeing Vatov's eyes, Big Tou hurriedly got into the corner.
After Vatov took the two of them away, Datou immediately dug a hole in the floor in the corner, and the weapons they snatched were piled in the hole.
"Quick, you six bring your weapons and follow me."
As he spoke, Datou pointed to the six people squatting in the room. After hearing Datou's order, these six people came to him and took the weapons. After all six of them got the weapons, Datou took them with him.
They pursued Vatov and others on the route they were taking.
The purpose of Vatov's wink was to put the boss on alert and to be cautious when working behind enemy lines. Although these two men were not necessarily Polish spies, there was nothing wrong with being cautious, so Vatov signaled the boss to arrange for people to follow him.
Behind them, if something goes wrong, there is someone to take care of them.
Vatov took the two people to the place where they went before. After waiting there, Vatov let the two people go in while he stayed outside the house.
After a while, Datou and others also caught up.
"Wait outside with me, and you guys will go guard the perimeter."
After giving the instructions, Vatov fell asleep on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.
