Chapter 736 Complicated

The mentality is different, and the work attitude is naturally very different. Now Li Xiao really doesn't want to rest for a moment, he can't relax at all, it's as if a thorn grows on his buttocks, and it hurts when he sits.

"The problem is, I don't have anything here that I need your help with!"

Duke Alexander was dumbfounded by Li Xiao's work enthusiasm, not because he really didn't have any tricky jobs here, but because those jobs were not suitable for Li Xiao to do. After all, this guy's identity is too sensitive. It stands to reason that he should be in Hungary at this moment under the command of Duke Mikhail, and he shouldn't be in Vienna at all.

If someone showed up in Vienna and was discovered by Nesselrode's henchman, then Nicholas I would have to skin him. Duke Alexander did not intend to die, so no matter how capable Li Xiao was and how enthusiastic he was at work, he could only let someone cool off.

In desperation, Li Xiao could only take Vishniak and Boris to run around on the streets of Vienna. After more than half a year of turmoil in this thousand-year-old city, it looked so depressed, as if an old man in his seventies suddenly fell ill. It's like struggling to come back from the gate of hell.

"The Revolutionary Party has been wiped out?"

Li Xiao looked at the remnants of barricades and fortifications on the street, and turned to ask Duke Alexander to take a photo of his private secretary as a guide.

The secretary nodded and introduced solemnly: "Last month, Jelacic and Wendisch Gretz launched a joint liquidation operation, which basically eliminated the resistance in the city. Now most of the revolutionary parties either fled Vienna or hid get up..."

This is not good news for Hungary and Kossuth. Without the containment of the Vienna Revolutionary Party, the main force of Jeracic and Wendisch Gretz will soon be able to move eastward and attack Hungary together with Paskovic’s army. .

From this point of view, Hungary will be attacked on three sides, and it is estimated that it can last for a few months at most. Thinking about when this vigorous revolution just broke out, everyone may think that this will be another French Revolution, and its influence will spread. At least decades.

But now it seems that this great revolution broke out violently and disappeared quickly, like a shooting star with only a momentary brilliance.

Of course, even if it fails, the historical significance of this revolution is still very important. Unlike the previous French Revolution, the leading force of this revolution is not only the emerging bourgeoisie, industrial workers have also stepped onto the political stage, and the latter will be the main force in the future revolution.

Now the revolutionary master who later influenced the whole world is still fighting with a spear and dagger in the Prussian editorial office. But counting the time, he will soon be deported by the Prussian authorities and can only go into exile in Paris, and then he can't stay in Paris for long, so he can only be forced to go to London.

When Li Xiao arrived in Berlin before,

I really have an idea to get acquainted with this great figure who has influenced an era, but Cologne is too far away from Berlin, and Li Xiao has no skills at all, so he can only regretfully miss out on the great mentor.

However, Li Xiao believes that in the near future, he will definitely have the opportunity to meet with the Great Mentor, because the labor movement will only become more violent in the era of great capitalist development in the future, and the Great Mentor will never just sit around and do nothing. .

Just like this, Li Xiao was thinking about some miscellaneous things in a mess, and then wandering around Vienna was not a pleasant experience. However, Li Xiao's leisurely time did not last long. A week later, an express express came from St. Petersburg—old Igor told him to rush back to Bucharest as quickly as possible to wait for Nicholas I's special envoy!

Li Xiao was a little caught off guard by this, because the old Igor told him in the letter that Nicholas I was going to keep his promise and hand over all his cheap Lao Tzu's properties to him. For this reason, a special imperial meeting was held, and the handover has been officially passed. decree.

The relevant documents have been handed over to Nicholas I's special envoy Adlerberg Jr., who will pass them on to Li Xiao.

This was beyond Li Xiao's expectations. He originally thought that this matter would be dragged on forever. Who would have thought that his old naughty uncle would figure it out and let go in the blink of an eye. Could it be that the conspirators also have a conscience to find out?

Of course it is impossible for Li Xiao to know the role of Count Rostovtsev in it, but he knows that old Igor is definitely a great help, even from the lines in the letter he can see the old man's fists and affection, To be honest, such a single-minded person is really rare in this era of increasingly greedy.

"Your Majesty, I don't need to say more about the specific situation. Your most important task now is to rush back to Bucharest immediately, where the special envoy will hold a grand ceremony to announce to the world your coming of age and His Majesty's high hopes for you!"

In fact, the meaning of these words was quite ironic to Li Xiao, Duke Alexander seemed to be saying: "Go to Bucharest quickly, your uncle's dog leg is coming, if he finds out that you are not in Bucharest, then all of us Everyone has to finish playing. As for the grand ceremony, it's all for outsiders to see, that old cunt of your uncle is afraid that others will know his cunning nature!"

Of course, it’s good that Li Xiao knows these things in his own mind. The most important thing that Duke Alexander wants to tell him is yet to come: “I’m afraid this trip to Hungary will not be particularly smooth. It’s a big move, now the road to Pest has been completely blocked, if you want to go through Hungary, it may be very difficult, it’s best to go around Serbia!”

"Blocking the border?"

Li Xiao was also a little surprised by this news, because after Jerachic and Wendisch Gretz failed to march to Bratislava, it is reasonable to say that the Austrian army is not capable of recovering its strength so quickly to carry out new military operations .

But how long has it been? Why did the Austrians eat Brother Wei? All of a sudden?

Duke Alexander explained with a wry smile: "Because His Majesty agreed to a new round of assistance to Austria. Under the condition that Austria promised to bear one-third of the military expenditure, supplies will be drawn from the country to the Austrian army, so that they can restore their combat capabilities as soon as possible."

Li Xiao was taken aback, and said in amazement: "Schwarzenberg succeeded? Didn't you say..."

Duke Alexander reached out his hand to stop Li Xiao from speaking, and said in a low voice, "The situation is very complicated. He did not succeed completely. Your Majesty did not promise to support Austria overwhelmingly!"

Li Xiao wondered: "That's about the same, but what about the military expenditure? Austria has so much money? Even a third of the nearly half a million troops is an astronomical figure for them!"
