Chapter 842 Making Trouble!

Leboeuf is naturally aware of France's international situation. Although this time he and the United Kingdom severely damaged Russia's face and let out a bad breath, you have to say that this war fundamentally changed France's international status and declared that The king of France returns to his country to rule Europe again? That’s also nonsense!

After all, the British are still there, and to be honest, France's losses in this fierce battle with Russia are not small. Not to mention that there were nearly 100,000 casualties. In fact, such a victory was just a tragic victory.

Leboeuf was well aware that there were also criticisms of this in the country. He felt that the generals on the front line were useless, and that the United Kingdom could only achieve this kind of virtue, which was really disappointing.

And if Li Xiao's proposal is followed and the war with Russia is turned into friendship and the Qin and Jin Dynasties are harmonious, it means that the external factors restricting France have been completely eliminated, and France can freely try to compete with Britain.

Yes, although Britain and France are now in an alliance, it is nonsense to say how close their relationship is. Both Leboeuf and other French elites knew that the British were France's biggest enemy.

Let’s not talk about the Hundred Years’ War, but let’s talk about the Napoleonic era decades ago. If Britain hadn’t been a hindrance, I’d be afraid that all of Europe would have French surnames now, right?

If we can temporarily stabilize Russia and even form an alliance, then what a damn British guy!

Leboeuf suddenly became excited and wanted to go to the ambassador to talk about this issue immediately. Fortunately, Li Xiao stopped him in time: "Don't be so anxious. This is just an idea. If you really want to realize it, A lot of things still need to be done…”

Leboeuf calmed down, and he also remembered that no matter how much France and Russia are still in a state of war, it is indeed too early to talk about alliances at this time. The state of war must be ended first, and then cooperation can be discussed!

But thinking about this, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "The problem is, you said before, how can it be so easy to end the war?"

Li Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed not easy! But no matter what, this inexplicable war will eventually end. We need to be prepared. Once the time is right, we can push it forward immediately!"

LeBoeuf agreed very much. After discussing some details with Li Xiao, he started contacting friends and started working.

After staying in Istanbul for three days, Li Xiao immediately returned to Bucharest in a hurry. On the one hand, he asked Duke Mikhail and Alexei to write a letter to Alexander II, making suggestions for Baryatinsky to try to fight several enemies in the Caucasus. The war will put more military pressure on Britain and Turkey and gain more bargaining chips for Russia at the negotiation table.

On the other hand, he also wrote to Count Rostovtsev and mentioned matters related to the alliance with France to see what the attitude of this powerful count was.

After doing this, the only thing Li Xiao could do was to wait, hoping that the big guys in St. Petersburg would take his suggestions seriously.

So was Li Xiao's suggestion taken seriously?

It's true. The reason is not that the big guys in St. Petersburg value him, but that Baryatinsky has a great reputation. 81 Chinese w

For Alexander II, Baryatinsky was definitely his confidant and the military general he relied on most.

And if you think about what is Alexander's biggest headache at this moment, the biggest headache is the meritorious veterans left by Nicholas I. Each of these people has seniority and great achievements, and they are considered to be in high positions, with great influence and broad influence.

But this war slapped these veterans hard in the face, proving that they were no longer able to cope with the current war situation.

This is not a good thing for Alexander II. For him, these veterans can neither be used nor withdrawn. He simply doesn't know how to treat them.

If Li Xiao suggested that he send these veterans to cause trouble in the Caucasus, he would never agree.

But Baryatinsky is different. This is his former minister.

He is a military commander he can absolutely trust. It is not difficult for Baryatinsky to go to the Caucasus to do things, and the probability of success is extremely high. If there is really a drama that can gain new bargaining chips for Russia at the negotiation table, then Baryatinsky will have a great contribution.

Shouldn't such great merit be rewarded? Naturally, he should be promoted to a higher position!

As long as Baryatinsky rises, Alexander II's influence on the army will naturally be greater. Then does he still need to worry about the constraints of those veterans?

Therefore, Alexander II agreed to this suggestion without hesitation, and immediately ordered Chernyshev to find every way to get 10,000 reinforcements to Baryatinsky, and asked the ordnance department to immediately purchase the goods ordered by Nicholas I A new rifle was sent to Baryatinsky.

As if this was not enough, he personally wrote a letter to Baryatinsky, urging him to win a beautiful victory.

Of course, another reason why Alexander II is so enthusiastic is that he has been under a lot of pressure recently. There are many people in the country, both reformers and conservatives, who believe that the war should be ended immediately. They believe that as long as the war can be ended within the necessary time, We can make greater concessions to Britain and France.

This made Alexander II very passive. He was unwilling to end the war immediately. On the one hand, he did not want to give up the interests of the Black Sea and the Balkans. On the other hand, he was also a face-saving person.

When a new official takes office, he has to make three fires. As an emperor, he was forced to sign an unequal treaty just after he ascended the throne. How does this make the country view him?

Therefore, he must grit his teeth and hold on no matter what, and must not make such a big negative news in the first year of taking the throne. As long as he can survive for a year and a half, when he can basically control the overall situation, surrendering and admitting defeat will not cause too much trouble. Even if there are some storms, he can calm them down.

Now that someone told him that he could try to grab chips at the negotiating table, he would definitely try. Even if the final result was not satisfactory, it would at least delay it for a while. He was really annoyed by those who clamored to end the war quickly.

Alexander II agreed, and Count Rostovtsev would naturally not stop him. For the count, as long as Alexander II continued to fight and continue to bleed the conservative forces, he would never stop him, and would even find ways to help him get through.

Alexander II wanted to make trouble in the Caucasus, and he immediately said yes, and even wished that Alexander II would make things bigger.

When the two most powerful people in Russia recognized it, no one could stop it. Soon the Russian army stepped up its attacks on the Caucasus, causing chaos in Turkey's backyard.

Naturally, such an action cannot be hidden from the eyes of Britain and France, especially the British. As expected, they are anxious...

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who it is.

There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.

To this.

Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters, but of course there are also some other side jobs.

It can be said.

Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.

The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.

Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.

Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.

Possessing the memory of a previous life.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.

Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.

At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.

Enter the attic.

The environment changes in vain.

The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.

There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
