Struggle in Russia

Although the Earl of Perth is a royalist Orleanist, his ass is not too crooked. He also knows that the biggest purpose of the Holy Alliance and the Vienna system is to restrict France. This damn system has tied France firmly. Unless France has the strength to overthrow the Holy Alliance in one match, it will never even think about dominating Europe again.

If Austria can be weakened, it will naturally be of great benefit to France. However, although the rotten thing of the Holy Alliance was weakened by the revolution, Russia's strength was still there, and Nicholas I was a born counter-revolutionary madman, and he had always hated France.

With this pervert who would rather destroy Russia's national power than kill the revolution and France, the Earl of Perth did not think that the Austrian revolution would have any future.

Li Xiao nodded, and did not refute Perth's words, because what he said was not wrong, it was the truth. What he was trying to say was: "Yes, overall the Hungarians have no future and are doomed to be killed... But that doesn't mean we can just sit back and watch, and it doesn't mean we can't get enough of the benefits !"

Perth just listened quietly. After experiencing so many things at his age, he has already passed the stage where a few words will make his blood boil. It's not the first time he's seen someone's painting a big cake, and he will never draw conclusions easily until he sees something real and credible.

Naturally, Li Xiao could see Perth's calmness. He knew that the Consul General was the one who didn't see the rabbits and didn't flirt with the eagles.

So Li Xiao continued to speak slowly: "Although the Hungarian Revolutionary Party is doomed to have no great future, if they can be used to inflict major damage on the Habsburg family, it will be a great achievement. Russia's major damage is also very possible!"

Perth is still calm, because this is easier said than done. Now everyone knows that they can support the Hungarians to pit Austria and Russia, but how can they support it? At least France doesn't border Hungary at all, and even if you give money and guns, they can't be shipped in.

Not to mention that France is also a mess in the country, and it has no ability to give substantial support to the Hungarians, so this is still empty talk!

Of course, Li Xiao was not talking empty talk, because he immediately gave the real thing: "Obviously, there is no such ability and method in the country for the time being... neither money nor weapons and ammunition can be provided, but respected Earl, if How can I solve this problem?"

The Earl of Perth was taken aback, glanced at Li Xiao suspiciously, and then said calmly: "Mr. Diomede, please forgive me... You said just now that you are capable of supporting the Hungarian Revolutionary Party? Did I hear correctly?"

Li Xiao chuckled and said, "Of course you heard me right! I did say that!"

The Earl of Perth was even more amazed,

Then he said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Li Xiao asked the question again with a smile: "Do you think I can win their friendship by giving some arms to the Hungarians?"

The Earl of Perth said in amazement: "Of course you can, as long as you can show it, then you are the most popular friend of the Hungarian Revolutionary Party!"

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't wait to ask: "But, is this really possible?"

Li Xiao smiled slightly, and did not answer Perth directly, but turned his head to look at David Lebouf next to him. The latter naturally asked Xiange Zhiyayi and replied immediately: "Count, I have introduced you before, Mr. Diomede's deeds in Wallachia are quite appreciated by Mr. Perrier and Mr. Pelleni!"

The Earl of Perth was taken aback. To be honest, he didn't take Lebouf's introduction seriously. Because who would not put gold on their own face! Nine of the people who came to see him would say that he had done such great feats to shock the world, anyway, after he was so shocked, he would be completely numb and would not take it seriously.

But looking at what Leboeuf means now, he is not bragging about launching satellites, this feeling is true!

He immediately said: "Sorry, the situation in Hungary has been bad recently, and my main energy is on Hungary..."

The implication is that I haven't cared much about Wallachia's affairs, and then ask for an explanation. Lebouf naturally smiled slightly, and introduced Li Xiao's great achievements in Wallachia vividly, which immediately made Perth dumbfounded.

"I really didn't expect, Mr. Diomede, you have done so many things for the country, it is really admirable!" Perth immediately gave a high hat, and then asked: "Then how are you going to support the Hungarian revolution?" Where are the partisans?"

Li Xiao smiled calmly and said, "I'm going to give them two thousand rifles and corresponding ammunition first, what do you think?"

Is two thousand rifles a lot? Naturally, it is not a lot, but when and where the score is scored, for the current Hungarians, let alone two thousand rifles, two hundred rifles are also a generous gift.

Now they are collecting weapons and ammunition across the country, and then desperately arming the national army, not to mention rifles, even antique matchlock guns are always coming!

With the gift of two thousand rifles, the Hungarians will definitely give them a lot of face, but for the Earl of Perth, this is far from enough. After all, this increase in strength is not enough to tickle Austria and Russia. .

At this time, Li Xiao continued: "Other weapons and equipment cannot be given away. If the Hungarians are rich, I still have at least 50,000 rifles to sell, and there are no less than one hundred 12-pound guns and The corresponding shells and gunpowder can be sold!"

Perston was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears at all. These weapons and ammunition were enough to arm two armies. It was simply a shot in the arm for the Hungarians who lacked weapons and ammunition, okay?

The question is where did so many weapons and ammunition come from? Fortunately, Perth is not stupid, and immediately grasped a key word-Walachia. Someone came from Wallachia, and it is normal to bring arms from there, but the question is, aren’t the Wallachians being repaired by Russia and Turkey? There is no port in Wallachia and it is impossible to obtain arms from overseas!

Perth's head was full of question marks. He couldn't figure out how Li Xiao manipulated it, and the latter was not interested in explaining it clearly. If you want to ask, it's a commercial secret. You can just say whether this deal can be done!

For Perth, this deal is naturally possible. In fact, the Hungarians have been trying to buy arms from the international market at high prices, but one has no access to the sea, and the other has no one who dares to offend Austria and Russia at the same time, so it is can't buy anything...
