The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 1142 Cherish each other
Nicholas I naturally guessed that the British were behind the scenes.

It was just that the Austrian Empire was an ally of Russia at that time, and it was also cooperating with the Russian attack despite the pressure of the civil war. In particular, a considerable part of Russia's armaments at that time actually came from Austria.

“The British joining did strengthen the Ottomans, but the Austrians’ lack of effort was the real reason for the passive situation in the war.

The Austrian troops did not launch an offensive after entering Wallachia, which led to the failure of the Bulgarian uprising and the Ottomans had enough troops to deal with us and Serbia.

Nicholas I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard this. After all, he had personally written a letter asking the Austrian Empire to stop the attack.

However, everything was going well for the Russian army at the time and they did not need the help of the Austrian army. The most important thing was that Nicholas I did not want to be taken advantage of.

"It was my negligence. I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. I was careless in asking Austria to stop the attack."

Nicholas I admitted his mistake, but Andrei Uvarov said.

"Your Majesty, do you think it is really your fault? How could the Austrian Empire stop its attack just because of a letter from you?"

Faced with the questioning of the young man he trusted most, Nicholas I still felt that his judgment was correct.

"We are now Austria's biggest ally, and he is about to become my son-in-law. Franz should have given me this honor."

Prince Uvarov was left speechless by Nicholas I's words. He really couldn't say that the Tsar's face was worthless.

"Well, Your Majesty, the new emperor of Austria is cruel, ruthless and cunning. Before he came to power, he began to massacre the nobles who opposed him and made Vienna a bloody place.

As soon as he came to power, he was widely opposed by the princes in the German region, which even triggered a war. After the war, he used extremely cruel means to purge those who opposed him, and the number of those who were exiled alone was probably no less than one million.

This beast is not only cruel and bloodthirsty, but also extremely cunning.

Countless people of noble character and lofty ideals went to Vienna to eliminate this perverse emperor, but most of them were sent to underground arenas and black markets and became clowns for people's entertainment.

In addition, this person is extremely belligerent. He launched an attack on the Ottoman Empire even though the civil war was not over. It is hard to say that this situation was not planned by him. "

Vienna's underground arena was no secret; people in the upper class knew that there were often entertainment activities such as death fights, beast fights, and death games held there.

Due to the variety of tricks and the thrills, it quickly became popular. At first, it was only regarded as entertainment for children, but soon people found that these consumables were extraordinary and determined.

Among them are a large number of famous vicious people and killers in the secret passages. It is terrible that someone can crush these unruly lunatics like ants.

Soon all the evidence pointed to the Emperor of the Austrian Empire. After all, no one except Franz could do such evil in Vienna.

In Andrei Uvarov's mind, Franz was such a terrifying and unforgivable enemy, but Nicholas I felt a sense of mutual sympathy for him.

After all, the situation that Franz encountered was also encountered by Nicholas I. The former destroyed the powerful people who opposed him, and the latter destroyed the Decembrists.

The former sent troops to attack the National Assembly that opposed him, and the latter ordered the Senate members who opposed him to hand over power.

The former had to deal with the Hungarians who took the opportunity to cause chaos, and the latter had to wipe out the Cossack tribes who took the opportunity to raise prices.

The former exiled their opponents to the colonies, while the latter exiled their opponents to Siberia.

Both of them encountered great difficulties at the beginning of their reign and were assassinated by various parties. "Why didn't I think of letting those guys make money for me? Franz is such a good boy." Nicholas I said with heartfelt emotion.

This made Prince Andrei Uvarov a little confused for a moment. After all, from his point of view, this was completely inconsistent.

"Your Majesty, this war can no longer continue. No matter how much we pay, we can't gain more. Now we should think about how to put what we have gained into our pockets."

Persuading the Tsar not to go to war made everyone around him worry about this promising young duke. After all, Nicholas I was a real warmonger, and although Russia had suffered a setback at that time, it still had a huge advantage.

Those who had advised the Tsar to stop the war all had a bad ending. At the very least, they lost all their rights and were ordered to retire, while at the worst, their entire family was exiled to Siberia.

However, Nicholas I simply nodded in agreement.

At this time, Duke Uvarov also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was also gambling, and not everyone could stop the loss in time. His Majesty the great Tsar was indeed a wise monarch, he admired sincerely, and then got to the point.

"Your Majesty, if we want to keep the fruits of victory, we must share some with the Austrians."

Everyone was sweating again. After all, no Tsar in history would willingly spit out what he had eaten, let alone share it with others.

"Prince Uvarov, we Russians fought the war. Why should the Austrians get a share of the spoils?"

Prince Liubai felt that he knew Nicholas I very well, so he stood up and scolded Andrei Uvarov.

On the one hand, it was to please the Tsar, and on the other hand, it was to make the young man aware of his own status.

However, the next second, the arrogant Duke Liubai was pulled aside by a big hand.

"What a short-sighted fellow! The Austrian Empire is our only ally at this moment. Isn't it only natural that we should share some of the benefits with our allies?
Looking further ahead, the goal of our generation is to revive the Third Roman Empire."

Nicholas I's words surprised his close associates.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Prince Uvarov knew how to strike while the iron was hot and continued.

“We are also Austria’s only ally at this time. I think all places except Dobruja, Bulgaria and Thrace can be given to the Austrians.

We only need the best parts of the Balkans and Asia Minor, and as for those mountain valleys, we might as well leave them to the Austrians to develop slowly."

Duke Uvarov's words were earth-shattering. After all, Russia has always regarded the entire Balkan region as a forbidden area.

However, Duke Uvarov wanted to divide the Balkans equally with the Austrians in order to gain Austria's support, which was immediately opposed by everyone.

"Your Excellency the Duke! Are you openly defying Peter the Great's will?"

Prince Uvarov was not to be outdone.

"I don't know if we have ever acknowledged any Peter's will, I only know that our Tsar is the great Nicholas I!
There is no eternal truth in this world, any plan must be based on reality!"
