Struggle in Russia

For the great powers of this era, there is a cruel fact, that is, Great Britain in this era is a bit incomprehensible. Yes, it is unsolvable but not invincible. Although it is impossible for Great Britain to conquer the world with one family, Great Britain can defeat any great power with one family.

In other words, if you only talk about fighting alone, no matter whether it is France, Prussia, Austria or Russia, you can only be pushed to the ground and rub against the United Kingdom. After the tempering of the first industrial revolution, the Victorian Great Britain is so awesome and so arrogant.

What is even more frightening is that Great Britain around 1850 had not yet reached the apex of the Victorian era, and it was still on the rise. It was not until around 1880 that Great Britain in the era of glorious isolation was called endless. I really want to be alone!

Therefore, during this period of time, against Great Britain, the only chance for European powerhouses is to form an alliance, otherwise they can only be hanged and hammered. That's why Russia had the Holy Alliance before and then the Franco-Russian alliance, otherwise it really couldn't wrestle with Britain.

It's just that the time in 1848 was embarrassing. The Holy Alliance had reached its late stage. Neither Prussia nor Austria could give Russia much help at this time, but it was holding back.

If you dare to provoke Great Britain, you will almost be singled out the existence of the Great Demon King with Russia alone. Look at the later performance in the Crimean War. The Baltic Fleet was blocked by the British in Kronstadt for friction, and the Black Sea Fleet was wiped out by the British and French fleets. As for the Far East, it didn't care at all.

It is normal for people to realize that they stay away from Daying, because not everyone is the protagonist of Qidian Orphanage, who can kill the Great Demon King with extraordinary talents. At least Li Xiao knew very well that he didn't have that ability.

The only thing that can be done is to take advantage of the fact that Daying has not yet realized that the polar bear is just a paper tiger, scare the other party a little bit to get some cheap money, and then accept it as soon as it is good. Don't make a real fire, otherwise the polar bear will be taken away by Daying.

Therefore, Li Xiao is grateful for the idea of ​​the little expert Alexei. It is the limit to be able to let Kehong go. If he really wants to kill Kehong, even if Russell is a bitch, he has to stand up and be a big man. If he is good, he will be beaten by the polar bear to doubt his life, and in the end, the unlucky little naive Alexei is absolutely responsible.

As a friend who has no political status at the moment, Li Xiao cannot let Alexei down. Then he will be even weaker and harder to develop. Therefore, the correct approach is to dissuade the temptation of this little expert on the edge of the cliff, and honestly swallow the fruits of victory in Wallachia first.

"The most important thing now is not to continue beating Kehong, that's meaningless!" Li Xiao said with an air of superiority.

This made Alexei a little disappointed, because the style of polar bears has always been to reciprocate a tooth for a tooth for an eye,

How could Kehong be so damned, let him leave Wallachia alive, and even go back to his hometown with a lot of wealth to enjoy life! He had to be hammered to death and crushed to death, even if he turned into meat paste and muddy meat, he had to pee on it.

Li Xiao could only persuade patiently: "That's meaningless. What we have to do is a long-term plan, not a momentary outcome... Although we won this time, it is not a manifestation of our true strength... but The afterglow of the past can still intimidate the British...but once you really tear your face, do you think the British are easy to deal with?"

Alexey still has a little understanding of Britain's national strength. When they organized a team to defeat Napoleon, the big boss, Britain used the gold coin offensive to tell Napoleon and Russia how terrible their financial resources were.

If it weren't for the continuous aid from the Gold List, it would be a fool's dream if Russia wanted to test itself against Napoleon's dimensionality reduction blow. Back then, in order to fight for Nahuang, the British opened their pockets and tilted towards Russia. Millions of pounds were forced to renew the life of the dying polar bear, so that they could withstand Nahuang's critical blow. Hard to say.

But now, the financial resources of the British are even more terrifying than they were back then. If they want to use the gold coin offensive to deal with the emperor to pit Russia, then Russia really can't bear it. Anyway, the United Kingdom these days is completely the routine of krypton gold VIP players, who can use money to pile you up to death.

"It's hard to deal with, the British are too rich!" Alexei sighed, and then said badly: "If our finances can be as rich as the UK, unification of Europe will not be a problem at all!"

Li Xiao also believes that, with the pace of polar bear wars going all the way, as long as the resources and economy can keep up, it is indeed possible to go all the way. The problem is that the polar bear's economy is completely lame. The King of Naval relied on British blood transfusions. In World War I, he collapsed because of insufficient blood transfusions. The benevolent father behind him had a mustache. "Working blood transfusion" might be taken away by waves of sincerity.

So Russia is indeed very powerful, but its shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, weak industrial capabilities limit Russia's great power. But now, Great Britain is the enemy of Russia, and there is no assistance at all, okay!

So Li Xiao unceremoniously mocked Alexei: "The problem is that we are not as rich as the UK! Wake up! Don't talk about conquering Europe, attacking Turkey may destroy our good teeth! "

Yes, look at the tenth Russo-Turkish war in the era of Alexander II. If it weren’t for the quasi-alliance between France and Russia, Russia’s desire to shed the shame of the Crimean War might not have gone so smoothly. In fact, looking at the results after the war, in fact, Russia had to spit out a lot of benefits because of its own strength.

In the final analysis, it is still because of Russia's own insufficient strength.

Alexei believes that he can't beat England, but it will be very difficult to beat France. Alexie also agrees. However, Alexei disagreed that Turkey, a sick man in the Near East, could still lose his teeth.

Immediately, he said disdainfully: "How is that possible, we only need one hand to subdue those sick men!"

Li Xiao also snorted: "Then let's make a bet on the outcome of the next war between us and Turkey. I will owe you once if we win, and you will owe me once if we lose, how about it?"

"cut!"

Alexey didn't feel that he would lose at all, and even thought that this gamble was too unfair to someone, so he said decisively: "What kind of gamble is this? Well, if we win, you owe me once; otherwise, we If you lose, I owe you twice!"

Li Xiao expressed that he could not refuse this kind of money-giving boy, and immediately held Alexei's hand without saying a word: "Okay! I bet!!!"
