"Menshikov, what do you think are our chances of winning this war?"

Alexander, with a smug look on his face, asked Prince Menshikov. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Menshikov said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have to say that you have played beautifully with this hand, and you have attracted the attention of the Chinese Empire to Outer Mongolia, and even the attention of the Manchu Empire has been concentrated in Outer Mongolia, as long as their main forces are all advanced to Outer Mongolia, then we are half the success, with the Manchu Empire, we can sweep them with the strength of one division!" When we gain a firm foothold in the Heilongjiang Valley, what is the use of even if the people from the Chinese Empire come up? “

Alexander was even more proud, and then said: "This is not enough, we need to warm up Outer Mongolia, otherwise, the Chinese Empire may not be easily baited!" Immediately send a telegram to Chabaev and tell him to make a big move for me in Mobei! This year, we are going to open a big Lishi! ”

"Your Majesty, what about the situation in Europe? Let's just ignore it? Once Prussia rises, it will not only be France that will be threatened by them, but also our Russian Empire, and they will definitely fight with us for the whole of Eastern Europe! ”

Prince Gorchakov hesitated for a moment and asked.

Alexander frowned, and then said: "Gorchakov, there is nothing to worry about, the rise of Prussia is absolutely impossible for France to bear, a strong Prussia may not be able to threaten our Tsarist Empire, but it is enough to pose a mortal threat to the French Empire, so the French Empire will definitely exert the most powerful pressure on Prussia, and even an open war may not be impossible, this is our best chance to weaken Prussia and the French Empire!" Sending troops to intervene? We are not so stupid, what we want is that they lose both, a strong Prussia or the German Empire is not good for us, and a France that is too strong in Europe is also not good for us, only they are weakened, it is the greatest good for us, let them eat dog! ”

"Your Majesty, isn't that right? After all, the powerful France will not invade Tsarist Russia across a dozen countries, but Prussia is different, once the unification is completed, there are only two goals for their expansion, one is France in the west, and the other is Tsarist Russia in the east, which do you think it is easier for them to invade? Mighty Prussia is our most immediate threat! ”

Gorchakov replied in a deep voice.

Alexander II was displeased: "Gorchakov, you are a little alarmist, do you think that the current Prussia can beat France?" You must know that France is known as the king of land warfare, and the army is even more powerful than England! ”

While the two men were arguing, a secretary came in and said, "Your Majesty, Paris is a telegram from His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon III!" ”

Alexander II frowned, took the telegram, read it hastily, and handed it to Gorchakov, who was both the royal family and his most relied on right-hand man, and as foreign minister, he had the most say in these matters.

"Gorchakov, Prussia is bent on annexing the whole of Austria and Hungary, and the entire German Confederation into the rule of the German nation, and now Napoleon III has sent a telegram asking us to unite the countries on the road of Europe against the Kingdom of Prussia, to put pressure on them, and even to send troops together to force Prussia to make concessions!"

Alexander II said in a deep voice: "It seems that what I said is right, we don't need to worry, the people of the French Empire can't sit still, hehe, Prussia has unified the entire German region, and its land area and population are far greater than that of France, and even stronger than England itself, we just want to watch them fight, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, haha......"

Alexander II laughed.

"Your Majesty, it's not as simple as you think, this is a war related to the hegemony of France in Europe, if I really ignore it, the relationship between the future empire and France will undoubtedly be destroyed, once Prussia really breaks through the barrier of France and rises strongly, then when we face Prussian aggression, France will also stand by and watch, if we support France at this time, join forces with France in the future, and use this joint to establish closer relations with France, Supporting each other in international issues is the long-term way for a country. What's more, this is the Prussian invasion of Austria, which is morally untenable, and if we don't even make a sound, I'm afraid that we will be ridiculed by all the countries of Europe! ”

Gorchakov said urgently.

Alexander II's laughter stopped abruptly, and Bo said angrily: "Gorchakov, why are you always against me? Prussia is not a thing, is France a good man? Don't forget, the Crimean War was the defeat of the French and the British, and it took us more than ten years to get over! And now you want to support France? Dream! It would be good if Lao Tzu didn't join forces with Prussia to deal with France! ”

Menshikov on the side smiled bitterly, this Gorchakov and His Majesty are just not at the same eye, the two people always have conflicts in strategy, but the two of them are still inseparable, they are really a pair of enemies!

"Gorchakov, I think our goal now is not to disperse, what we want to deal with is the Chinese Empire, as for Prussia, they are willing to toss and let them toss, as long as we can take the entire Heilongjiang Road Basin, then we will make a lot of money, you know, one or two Heilongjiang River Basin, can top more than ten Austrian areas, they care about their life or death?"

Menshikov persuaded, "Also, Your Majesty, what Gorchakov said is not unreasonable, Prussia violated morality and invaded other countries, which was originally condemned in the international community, we can completely support France and Austria, as for the war, they can fight as much as they like, we don't send troops, just watch the excitement, make a good relationship with the French, and don't offend Prussia severely, when the time comes, we can also be left and right, no matter which side wins, our benefits are indispensable...... ”

Gorchakov glanced at Menshikov helplessly, this guy is just a mud, sooner or later they will know how bad the consequences of Prussia becoming completely strong are......

"Well, Menshikov, what you said is not bad, left and right, well, in my name, call France and Prussia, do not approve of Prussia's invasion of Austria, and hope that Prussia will be reined in ...... precipice" (to be continued.) )
