The international environment affects the domestic small environment, and the domestic small environment also makes the international environment undergo turbulent changes, especially in a country like France that plays an important role in the European continent, the words and deeds of President Jerome Bonaparte have a direct impact changes in diplomacy across the European continent.

Just as France is struggling with the issue of amending the constitution, a drama is being staged in the German region.

The German region, which has never stopped since the February Revolution, is now finally about to usher in the final decisive battle. Prussia and Austria, the fateful compatriots in the German region, are fighting for German dominance.

And the source of all this is closely related to Jerome Bonaparte.

After the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution, when the ambitious Schwarzenberg began to plan to return to Germany, the Kingdom of Prussia also coincidentally created the Three Kings League to resist the ambition of the Austrian Empire to regain control of Germany.

It's just that Prussia's ambitions were not very big at that time. King Frederick William IV of Prussia only wanted to unite with Austria to divide North and South Germany with Saxony as the boundary.

For a Protestant country like Prussia, an excessive Catholic population would lead to a serious dilution of the Protestant population ratio, which would trigger a sectarian crisis, and the separation of the North and the South would be the best solution for Prussia.

Schwarzenberg pretended to agree with the Prussian North-South separation and the Three Kings Alliance plan, while encouraging Prussia to suppress the revolution in the German region.

Prussia agreed to the Austrian plan, the Frankfurt Confederacy, which once supported Prussia to become the German emperor, was dissolved, the revolution led by the middle class was suppressed, and Prussia used bayonets and blood donations to make the Germans completely lose hope in it.

Without the support of the middle class and the National Guard, Prussia could only survive on the Three Kings Alliance.

However, the Kingdom of Prussia did not know that when Schwarzenberg was suppressing the revolution in Germany, he secretly attracted German princes and "foreign forces".

The German princes were persuaded by Austria's use of revolutionary fears, and Jerome Bonaparte of the French Republic was "tricked" by Schwarzenberg with part of the Rhineland in return (Schwarzenberg believed he had successfully deceived Jerome . Bonaparte) Nicholas I of the Russian Empire similarly acquiesced. 【Chapter 148 Content】

After courting the great powers and the German vassal states, Schwarzenberg began to provoke trouble. He used Hesse. Kassel as an excuse to invade Prussia on a small scale. In order to maintain its own authority, Prussia had to protect Hesse. Kassel The name of the Houguo Council also adds to the bargaining chip. [At that time, Prussia was dominated by liberals]

The Prussian support action completely angered the German princes. After the two sides fought for a year and spent nearly 10 million francs (conversion), Schwarzenberg finally invited on September 2, 1850, except for Prussia. The foreign German princely states traveled to Frankfurt to participate in the German Confederation Parliament.

Almost all the German princely states participated in the Confederate Assembly.

On October 15, Austrian Prime Minister Schwarzenberg, Bavaria and Württemberg signed a military alliance [Chapter 252], and rushed to the imperial village outside the Russian Empire to meet Nicholas I.

At this time, Schwarzenberg, who was sitting in the carriage, did not know that the storm rolled up by Jerome Bonaparte was hitting him.

...

More than 20 kilometers south of St. Petersburg, there is a residence, which was a summer villa built by Peter the Great for his wife, Empress Ekarina of the Russian Empire in 1717.

The villa was completed in 1824 after seven years. The two-story mansion with 16 main houses and the surrounding gardens were completed and opened. In order to emphasize the significance of the new royal territory, it soon became known as the Imperial Village.

In 1741, when Elizabeth Petrovna, the daughter of Peter the Great, ascended the throne, she also took a fancy to this place that carries memories at a glance. Under her authorization, the best architects of Petersburg gave this place a slight interest. The modest manor was expanded.

With the foundation laid by the two generations of tsars, the following generations of tsars completely turned this place into a place for daily settlement and rest. A garden rises up around the Imperial Village. The tall and straight bushes and lush green lawns make the entire palace embellished with greenery, and the changing seasons of the Imperial Village add a touch of beauty.

However, all beauty is always an ornament of power. As the residence of the tsar, the imperial village has a more important role, that is, the power of the entire tsarist Russia.

The developed transportation network made the audience move faster, and the great nobles living around the imperial village could better assist the tsar in governing government affairs. It can be said that the entire imperial village was the nerve center of this huge empire.

This country with a vast territory and a population of tens of millions is in its heyday. Tsar Nicholas I and his soldiers and ministers ruled the country with a ruthless iron fist, lashing the empire with bayonets, large and small. nationality.

Any nation that is unwilling to surrender to the empire will be taught by the bayonet. It can be said that no one is not afraid of the direction the bayonet points.

However, who knows that this vast empire with a population of tens of millions will soon become the laughing stock of Europe in a few years.

Who knows that in a few decades, the Empire and Imperial Village, the two names that run through the Romanov Dynasty, will become historical dust along with the Romanov Dynasty.

After the February Revolution, the Romanov dynasty fell. After the October Revolution, the Imperial Village was renamed Pushkin City.

The imperial family and the imperial village have turned into a loess under historical circumstances, and the name of the poet who was once monitored by the Romanov Dynasty for a long time will replace the Romanov Dynasty and become the eternal memory of the Russian nation.

As long as Russia exists, the name Pushkin will remain in the memory of the people forever.

Of course, in this era, the tsar's fame is far greater than that of Pushkin, and the tsar who lives here will also not know his destiny. Now Nicholas I is wearing a traditional black-breasted military uniform of the Russian Empire, concentrating on the map of Europe on the desk.

On the map are dense arrows and troop numbers written in Russian. Nicholas I slowly moved his hand from St. Petersburg to the southwest, and soon moved to the Balkans.

As his fingers continued to move southward, Constantinople fell under the fingers of Nicholas I.

"Constantine..." Nicholas I murmured, his finger tapped on the map of Constantinople, his face was extraordinarily solemn and had a sense of sacredness.

While Nicholas I was muttering to himself, a knock on the door of the court attendant came from outside the room.

"Who?" Nicholas I asked the attendant outside the door in a majestic voice

"Your Majesty, Minister Nesselroddy has arrived at the Imperial Village! He said that he wants to see you on something important!" The court attendant outside the door respectfully said to Nicholas I.

"Take him to the Amber Room!" Nicholas I replied.

The court attendants were ordered to leave, and met Karl Nescher Roddy, the foreign minister of the Russian Empire, at the Catherine Palace.

From 1822 to 1850, for nearly 28 years, the Russian court did not know how many ministers and how many conference chairmen were replaced.

The foreign minister, however, has been firmly held at the helm of the entire Russian diplomacy.

In addition to the trust of Emperor Nicholas I of the Russian Empire, Nescher Roddy himself also has a good ability (here, Nescher Roddy's reaction is more than that of Alexander I.).

[Karl Robert Nesselrode, karl-robert-nesselrode (1780-1862), count, diplomat. Germanic origin, attended secondary school in Berlin, joined the Russian Navy at the age of 16, later transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia during the time of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia (1822-1856)]

The court attendant humbly said to the veteran foreign minister Karl Nesselroddie: "Your Majesty will meet you in the Amber Room!"

"Thank you very much!" Karl Necherroddy expressed his gratitude to the court attendant slightly.

Under the leadership of the court attendants, Karl Nescherroddie entered the Amber Room of the Catherine Palace. The walls of the Amber Room were full of amber, including blood amber, gold amber, large and small, and others. Some of them are framed, some are glued to the wall, shining from lemon yellow to golden red, the splendor is suffocating, the whole room seems to be enveloped in gold.

In the center of this golden shroud, Emperor Nicholas I of the Russian Empire was sitting dignifiedly on his throne, looking at the court attendants and Karl Nesselroddie like a mortal in a god-like costume.

The longer Nicholas I stayed on the throne~www.novelhall.com~, the more he liked to use this method to swear his majesty and holiness to the nobles.

The long-term rule made him extremely aware of the disposition of the entire Russian nation, from serfs to nobles, who only loved the tyrants who kicked their **** with spurs.

Nicholas I believed that if one day he became weak, the nobles would kill him without hesitation and put his son Alexander II on the throne.

The coup has become the "curse" of the country.

However, the sanctity of Nicholas I's use of the blessing of the Amber Room can only make people who do not know Nicholas I fear. I this set has long been clean and outdated.

In order to coax this moody emperor well, Karl Nescherrodie could only look at Nicholas I in fright, as if he had seen a ghost.

Karl Necherroddy's expression brought a smile to Nicholas I's face.

"Minister Nesher Roddy, what news did you bring me?"
