Struggle in Russia

Schwarzenberg was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. The mutual understanding and mutual understanding he talked about was not what Duke Alexander Gorchakov meant. How could Austria understand and forgive Russia’s expansion in the Balkans? How could they tolerate other people's meddling in their Austrian back garden.

Schwarzenberg was very angry at Prince Alexander Gorchakov pretending to be confused, and immediately retorted: "The stability of the Balkans is more important than anything else. Only maintaining stability is more beneficial to our two countries, rather than taking risks and Stealing fruit from the orchard behind the back of friends!"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov retorted unceremoniously: "The Balkans are not your country's orchard, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of Christians in the Balkans is the most important thing! This is the fundamental difference between our two countries. If your country If you can’t realize and accept this, I don’t think there’s any need for us to continue!”

Actually, Nicholas I and Nesselrode did not give Duke Alexander Gorchakov such great power, at least they did not allow him to blackmail the Austrians like this. But Schwarzenberg didn't know!

He was so blocked that he couldn't speak these three or two sentences, which was quite depressing. As for Prince Alexander Gorchakov, he is a little proud and excited, because he has basically tested the bottom line of the Austrians, and these bears are now only stubborn. If Russia really continues to engage in the Balkans It is estimated that they only have a few beeps on their lips, and they don't dare to really turn the table and stop playing or really withdraw from the Holy Alliance.

As for Russia's continued expansion in the Caucasus region, it is far from the Balkans. Although Austria may not be happy, compared with the back garden of the Balkans, it doesn't care much.

Schwarzenberg was also driven into a hurry, so he could only ask sullenly: "What exactly does your country want! If you continue to exert extreme pressure, Austria will not be a soft persimmon!"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov said with a smile: "Our country has never meant to put pressure on your country. From the beginning to the end, our meaning is very clear, because your country has no time to look around because of domestic turmoil. The chaos in Wallachia and Moldavia. Our country is only going to restore normal order!"

"To restore the normal order in Wallachia and Moldavia, we need our country to play a more active role in the region. For this reason, our country has also communicated with your country in advance, and the two countries have also reached an agreement .I don’t understand why you keep obsessing about it, as if our country has taken advantage of it!”

"Looking at what you mean, it seems that our country has to compensate your country for this. I don't understand why your country has such a superficial idea of ​​​​disregarding the overall situation? Could it be that your country can't see our country's helplessness and sacrifice? National Energy has a little responsibility, why is this so?"

Schwarzenberg really wanted to scold Prince Alexander Gorchakov for being too shameless, but who made the situation stronger than others? He could only swallow this bad breath,

But this does not mean that he admits defeat, he immediately asked:

"Even if your country's actions in Wallachia and Moldavia are completely selfless, but your country also requires expansion operations in the Caucasus region, how can this be unreasonable!"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov replied unhurriedly: "Why is our country expanding in the Caucasus? Our country has to carry out armed self-defense operations in this area solely for the purpose of protecting our Armenian brothers. It must be contained What is there to blame for the persecution of the Armenian brothers by the heathen?"

"Besides, the Caucasus region has nothing to do with your country. Our country notified your country in advance based on the ally obligation of the Holy Alliance. It is completely understandable for our country to keep silent. It is precisely because of respect for your country that our country notified you in advance. It's really inexplicable how come to your country but become a crime!"

I am a little impressed by Duke Alexander Gorchakov's shameless Schwarzenberg. It is obvious that Russia wants to expand in the Caucasus under the guise of the Holy Alliance, or to scare those who also covet Persia under the guise of the Holy Alliance. British.

But being packaged by the duke as some kind of bullshit self-defense to protect Armenian Christian brothers and shit is simply shameless! The Russians want to use the tiger skin of the Holy Alliance to intimidate Britain, but they do not give Austria substantial compensation, which is tantamount to a blank vote. Do you think this is appropriate?

At least Schwarzenberg felt that the Russians were going too far. According to the previous rhythm, it should be a wave of Russia’s expansion in the Caucasus, and Austria and Prussia should be exchanged for corresponding benefits. At least Austria and Prussia should be allowed to have corresponding gains. .

In Schwarzenberg's view, the Russians have made gains in the Caucasus, so they should naturally compensate Austria in the Balkans. They are not greedy, so they can just compensate with the interests of Wallachia and Moldavia. Well!

But now, the Russians want to monopolize the benefits of the Caucasus, and Moldavia and Wallachia will not let it go. In Schwarzenberg's view, this is too much, and it is not so fun!

To put it bluntly, the purpose of Schwarzenberg's trip is to hope that the Russians will give up some of their interests, such as making concessions in Wallachia and Moldavia, so that their Austrian psychology will be balanced.

But obviously, Prince Alexander Gorchakov didn't mean that at all. He meant that Russia wanted the benefits of Wallachia and Moldavia, and that there was no compensation for the benefits of the Caucasus. He also threatened If Austria does not agree, then Russia will not send troops to help Austria quell the rebellion!

If you talk about how Schwarzenberg feels, you will naturally have to bargain.

It's just that Schwarzenberg has Schwarzenberg's algorithm, and Duke Alexander Gorchakov also has his algorithm. According to his calculation, Wallachia and Moldavia were compensation for the anti-Russian rebellion that the Austrians could do nothing to destroy the overall situation. Russia sent troops to help Austria and it had to be compensated anyway.

As for how to compensate, he temporarily felt that the Caucasus's sloppy head could be counted. Of course, if he asked for the price, the Caucasus would definitely not be enough. Austria should at least give Russia appropriate compensation in the Balkans. Is this appropriate?

Everyone has their own algorithm, but how it is one thing, how to cash it is another matter. Schwarzenberg's sorrow is that his algorithm has no strength to back it up, while Prince Alexander Gorchakov's algorithm is clearly achievable...
