Chapter 747 Persuasion Again

The most difficult thing in this world is human relationships. Schwarzenberg didn't think it was so difficult before, but this trip to Russia made him realize the subtlety of human relationships for the first time.

At first, when Nesselrode told him that something could be done according to the Russian tradition, he was a little happy, thinking that it would be great if something difficult could be solved by unconventional means.

At that time, Schwarzenberg felt that things like favors were so good that he only needed to spend a little money to buy a few nobles, and then he could make the impossible possible. If everything in this world could be solved in this way, then How nice it would be!

But after this incident happened, Schwarzenberg didn't feel how good the favor was at all. Because this kind of convenience is relative, while you enjoy the convenience, you may have to pay a higher price at any time.

For example, this time, he felt that talking about feelings with these Russian nobles became a burden, and the relationship did not go well, but he was deeply tied down. If there were no previous private exchanges, he could naturally reject Duke Alexander's suggestion in one gulp, so why would he be so passive like he is now.

Nesselrode naturally also saw Schwarzenberg's displeasure, but you can't look at it like this, can't you say that he is a hindrance for helping Schwarzenberg connect with each other!

As far as Russia is concerned, if you don't make contact with each other, these Russians who eat people and don't spit out their bones will definitely gang up and make things difficult together. How could things go so smoothly. Now it's just that Duke Alexander launched his final counterattack after seeing what was going on. This is just a dying struggle. How can it be said that he, Nesselrode, did something bad with good intentions?

In fact, Nesselrode is very angry with Schwarzenberg, but at this moment, he can't get angry openly, so he can only say sullenly: "The most afraid of doing things is to be constantly disturbed by them, even if the burden is three One-tenth of the military expenditure is nothing more than a small amount of money. Don't lose the big because of the small!"

What Nesselrode meant was to emotionally agree to prevent a dream. As long as there is no formal agreement between the two countries, everything is still uncertain. Today it could be Duke Alexander who finds fault, but tomorrow someone might find it profitable to intervene, and that would really be endless!

But Schwarzenberg didn't see it that way. Indeed, paying one-third of the military expenditure is definitely not much, and it is even a surprise for Austria. After all, if Russia really wants to ask for all the money If they should play, they should still play all of them with a lot of points.

However, he has already paid a lot of liaison fees for this, and his goal is to pay nothing. Now that he has paid a lot of liaison fees, he still got one-third of the military expenses. It's a big mistake.

And although the loan and interest are paid by the Austrian government,

But after all, he is the Prime Minister of Austria. If those gentlemen in the country know that he is taking advantage of his trip to Russia, what will they think of him, and what will they say about him?

Based on Schwarzenberg's understanding of these people, it is definitely a lot of weird rumors. There will definitely be a lot of gossip that is extremely unfavorable to him, and it is even very likely that Duke Alexander will deliberately spread false news to attack him. reputation. As a result, his position in the country is not to say precarious, at least it does not look so stable.

This is tantamount to saying that he went to Russia for activities through all kinds of hardships and made such a trip to make money at a loss, or to say that the effort is thankless. Isn't this a bit too unfair?

Anyway, Schwarzenberg couldn't figure it out, especially when he got the news that Wendy Schretz was stepping up his activities in the country to prepare for a turnaround, which made him more vigilant, once the loan matter hit him hard His reputation has led to unpredictable consequences. Can he still be the prime minister?

As a result, Schwarzenberg hesitated, not knowing whether to accept Nesselrode's suggestion immediately to finalize the agreement immediately, or to wait and see if there is any other way to do things.

In Nesselrode's view, his hesitation is a lack of decision-making ability and judgment ability. This old man knows that the Russian nobles are not very capable of doing things, but their ability to do bad things is first-class. The more troublesome, naturally the more urgent the urging.

But the more anxious Nesselrode was, the more hesitant Schwarzenberg was. In the final analysis, he did not fully trust Nesselrode, and there was no spark and tacit understanding between the two.

"What are you waiting for?" Nesselrode urged Schwarzenberg three times a day, he was really impatient, "Your Majesty is not happy anymore, if there is a repetition on his side, then things will be really troublesome Already!"

Schwarzenberg thought to himself: "You old man, you can stand and talk without pain in your back. If I sign it, I will be reprimanded. In the end, I will take the blame. You have enjoyed the benefits of favors, and things can't be done like this!"

So he laughed and continued to practice Tai Chi: "I understand your concerns, but the problem is that this agreement is too important, and I can't make the decision by myself. I have to let His Majesty know? I have to be a prince in the country. After all, at first we all thought that we would not have to bear the military expenses of the Russians, but now things have changed, and they will inevitably have other ideas!"

Nesselrode suddenly felt overwhelmed, knowing that Schwarzenberg was fooling him for an idiot, and that Emperor Franz Karl was a complete display, and he was not at the mercy of you, the prime minister. As for the other Austrian nobles, if you, the prime minister, are more straightforward, even if they have opinions, they can only hold back. In the final analysis, you kid is still unwilling to sign and is still hesitating!

If it were someone else, Nesselrode would really be too lazy to waste energy by accompanying him. He, the Prime Minister, is really not a kindergarten teacher, and he doesn't have that much time to accompany and take care of the children. But Schwarzenberg happened to be the Prime Minister of Austria, representing the German orthodoxy he recognized. As a German and a defender of Germany, he really couldn't stand idly by.

So he corrected his color and said in an unusually stern tone: "We can no longer hesitate. Now Russia has spread some gossip that is not good for us, saying that we have taken advantage of it and acted like a good boy, and strongly demanded that we be burdened more. A lot of military expenses. Although His Majesty has not been moved by these news for the time being, but after a long time, under the operation of some caring people, this momentum will become stronger and stronger!"

"If you hesitate for a moment, it means a greater risk. Once His Majesty is also kidnapped by this force, it will really be over! We must cut the mess quickly and solve this problem immediately!"
