Struggle in Russia - Vol 3 Chapter 709

Spanteleevich knew very well that in Bucharest, the only person who could stop Varenoff from coming here was Li Xiao. As long as that person was willing to keep Varenoff honest in minutes.

After he made up his mind, Spandeleevich no longer hesitated. Instead of staying in Maria Davydovna’s mansion, he quietly slipped through the back door and headed to the military police headquarters overnight.

Li Xiao also didn’t expect Spandeleevich to come to him, because these days his focus is on the commissioner who sees nothing but the dragon. To be honest, this commissioner is indeed a bit mysterious, and even his gendarmerie did not notice that this person entered Wallachia at first, until after Valenoff reminded him, he went to check it himself before entering the country. Traces of this man were found on the registration form.

Countess Antonina Bludova, this woman is not an ordinary person. Although Russia does not exclude women from inheriting the title, under normal circumstances, the title will not be passed on to her daughter. And she turned out to be a countess, you know how powerful she should be.

In history, this person is also a little known. She is a well-known supporter of Pan-Slavism. It can be said that she was the goodwill ambassador and unofficial spokesperson of Nicholas I in the Balkans. Such an influential figure in Suddenly arrived in Bucharest at this time, who would believe you if you said nothing!

However, Li Xiao was relieved when he found out that the commissioner was Antonina Brudova. What he was most afraid of was that Nicholas I was worried about him or Alexei and specially sent someone to investigate.

In that case, they would be in a lot of trouble, and it is impossible to think of a way to deal with this commissioner.

But it turned out to be Antonina Bludova, so it is very likely that it was not for their brothers. They came for Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia and even Austria.

As an open supporter and advocate of Pan-Slavism, Antonina Brudova is likely to be tasked with inciting the Slavic forces in the Balkans to support Russia.

After all, the current international situation in Russia is in a mess. The Western European powers headed by Britain and France are shouting and killing all the way, while the traditional allies headed by Prussia and Austria in Central and Eastern Europe have been divorced all the way. It is obvious that Nicholas I is also anxious. .

He is afraid that he is eager to change Russia’s passive international situation, and even if he can’t do it, at least he has to find a few allies who can help Russia.

Li Xiao could only express sympathy for this, and then said, “You deserve it, if you knew it earlier, why did you have to do it in the first place!”

As far as Russia’s current situation is concerned, it is extremely difficult for Antonina Brudova to achieve these goals, because the situation is here, as long as you are not a fool, you will know what Russia will face at this time.

Even the Serbs and Bulgarians really like Russia and are really willing to help Russia, but they are too weak, and they are too weak. For the sake of their own safety, the only thing they can do is to stay neutral.

And judging from the fact that Nicholas I sent Antonina Bludova to the scene, the tsar is really out of options. As long as he still has a way, he won’t let a woman come forward. He is serious about losing face. I can’t afford to lose this person.

It can be seen that Nicholas I was already very poor, so he could only make a desperate attempt to let Antonina Brudova try his luck. To be honest, Li Xiao felt pity for his cheap uncle. If you were sensible and didn’t do these tricks, would you be reduced to the present?

Of course, it is more likely that Nicholas I had no remorse. This extreme zongjiao mad believer would sacrifice everything for his beliefs and ideals. This can be seen from the Crimean War in history.

By the end of 1854, the situation of the war had actually become clear, and Russia had no chance of winning. After Menshkov made a desperate attempt, in fact, Russia could only wait to die slowly.

At this time, a little bit of rationality knows that a strong man must break his wrist to make concessions, give up some interests, and end the war by negotiation. Otherwise, Russia will really be drained a little bit. At that time, it will actually be more troublesome, and the foundation of Russia and the Romanov family’s existence will be shaken.

But Nicholas I still couldn’t hold back that old face, and he still insisted, but he knew in his heart that it was useless, so he exhausted his energy in the constant torment and was caught by a ridiculous cold. sent directly to God.

In a sense, this person who wants to save face is the ultimate, he would rather choose to die than choose to steal his life and fight again in the future. This is commendable in terms of will quality, but it is not the best choice in terms of objective reality.

And his choice also made Alexander II, who succeeded him, very passive~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, his father was boiled to death. If he chose peace talks or surrender immediately, he would not be able to explain it, so he could only Bracing yourself.

It turned out, of course, that Russia suffered even more losses, so much so that he had to agree to reforms, but then again, it didn’t seem like a bad thing to turn over. If their father and son really stopped earlier, I am afraid that the conservative forces in Russia will not be greatly damaged, and the subsequent reforms may be more difficult!

Even so, Li Xiao still looked down on Nicholas I. He single-handedly created a lot of tragedies. Hundreds of thousands of Russian athletes died in vain, which is completely meaningless.

Of course, these words are a bit far-fetched. Going back to Antonina Bludova herself, Li Xiao is actually willing to cooperate and help the commissioner. If she can really play a role, she will not bring some rare goods to Russia. International support, as long as she can manage to persuade the Serbs or Bulgarians to cooperate with the Russian army, and preferably organize guerrillas to harass the coalition, that will be great!

It’s a pity that Li Xiao is still hesitating about a question, that is, is his guess right? What if Antonina Brudova really came for him and Alexei? After all, Nicholas I’s brain and way of thinking can’t imagine what he can do.

Just in case he’s out of breath, just do it, and if you run over here to make friends, isn’t that delivering food to your door?

Just when Li Xiao was hesitant, Spanteleevich suddenly came to visit. Li Xiao, who had been monitoring Varenoff’s movements, naturally knew Spanteleevich’s identity. At first, he thought it was Varen. Novo sent him to ask for help, probably because the guy couldn’t keep his face or something, but when Spantelevich explained his intention, Li Xiao was immediately taken aback!
