Struggle in Russia

With Nesselrode officially announcing the loss of control of the Turkish negotiations, the leaders within the Russian officialdom almost tacitly realized that a new era was coming.

After realizing this, these leaders started some small actions behind their backs. Whether it is to prepare for the future, or to adjust the strategy in time to make a strategic contraction, these must be done in advance.

This trend soon swept across the entire land of Russia, as long as the officials of the empire more or less knew some gossip, but for the small bureaucrats at the grassroots level, those were a bit far away, so there was no need to pay too much attention to them.

On the contrary, in Wallachia, the outermost part of the empire, when Li Xiao and Alexei learned that Nesselrode had withdrawn from the negotiations with Turkey "due to illness", their faces were very unhappy.

They all understood that if Nesselrode hadn't been holding back or holding back, Menshikov would not have been so entangled, and it would be impossible to drag the negotiation for such a long time.

Now that the biggest stumbling block, Nesselrode, is gone, it can be said that there is no longer any force that can stop Nicholas I from "running wild".

"The only good news is that winter is coming!" Alexei sighed faintly.

Indeed, if it wasn't for the inconvenient use of troops in winter, with Nicholas I's temper, as long as the Turks didn't respond to his wishes, the war would break out immediately.

The problem for Li Xiao is that this winter is not long enough, and this is the first time that he hopes that the winter will be longer and buy them more time.

"We will be extremely busy this winter!" Li Xiao replied with a sigh.

Yes, they have too many preparations to do this winter, training troops, continuing to repair fortifications and fortresses, and stockpiling supplies for a brutal war that is likely to last for two years.

None of this is easy and requires a lot of money.

Si minus b xWx.co Si. To be honest, Wallachia's finances are very tight, almost stretched. Even Alexei has already considered borrowing money for emergency!

"Is there anyone willing to lend us money?" Li Xiao was a little surprised when he heard that.

Alexei asked a little strangely: "Why is no one willing to lend us money? Judging from our performance in the past few years, we are quite popular with capital, okay?"

Li Xiao said dumbfoundedly: "The capital is willing to lend us money to fight?"

Alexey stopped talking for a moment. Although he didn't know much about capitalism, he also knew the pissing nature of those capitalists. They were very happy to help them make money, but they didn't care about anything else. Not interested anymore.

For example, Wallachia looked for these vampires when it was preparing to raise funds to improve infrastructure such as traffic conditions, but each of them either opened their mouths with a series of expensive other conditions, or they just avoided them.

Obviously, these capitals are very realistic, and they will never use their feelings, let alone do charity for free.

Sacrifice as 75zhongwen.com Sacrifice as. So expecting to get war reserves from these vampires is simply a dream. Even when these guys hear that Wallachia may fall into the quagmire of war, and that Russia may have a direct conflict with Britain and France, they may run faster Rabbits are even faster.

In fact, this kind of gossip has already affected some projects in Wallachia. A group of international capital who were very interested in investing in Wallachia before heard that there was a risk of war, and immediately stopped project planning. Even some projects that have already been carried out are facing the embarrassment of being forced to stop work.

"The situation will only get worse in the future," Li Xiao said with some seriousness, "We'd better think about how to deal with the extremely bad financial situation in the next two years!"

"Do you want to issue some public bonds as an emergency?" Alexei asked.

Issuing war bonds is a common practice of European countries when they have no money to fight, but Li Xiao doesn't want to do so. Although it is true that money can be obtained, in the current form of Wallachia, if you want to issue enough public bonds, you must give high interest. After all, as long as you are not a fool, you will know how big the risk is, and there is no high interest rate. The market will not take over.

However, high interest rates will inevitably lead to a series of problems later, especially considering that Wallachia, as the front line of the battlefield, will suffer huge losses and damage in future wars, and the financial situation of Wallachia will be very tight in the future. To maintain the war expenditure and stabilize the internal situation in Wallachia, which one of these is not a gold swallowing beast!

Even considering the issue of post-war reconstruction, choosing to issue war bonds at this time is like drinking poison to quench your thirst, and it is very likely that the gains outweigh the losses.

"Tighten your belt first and live a hard life!" Li Xiao sighed, "You also have to cry poorly with my uncle, children who can cry can only have milk, and we spent a lot of money on the shitty things he did. So much time and energy to settle things, we can't let him do nothing!"

Hearing this, Alexei smiled wryly. Indeed, they had paid too much in response to the war, far exceeding the workload of an ordinary governor. Not to mention the praise and rewards, you can't let a person like him who is immersed in practical work suffer a lot, right?

For example, the money that Wallachia will pay tribute to the central government in the future can be waived, which will allow them to breathe a sigh of relief.

But Alexei also knew that it was difficult, because Nicholas I didn't like him, and it was unprecedented for him to be the governor of Wallachia because he could make money. If he can't get the money now, then Nicholas I may change his face in a matter of minutes.

"No matter what, you have to cry poor first, and you have to yell a few times. You must let the higher-ups know about our difficulties, otherwise those bastards may think that we are having a good time, and they may even come to us for money!"

Although Li Xiao's words are not pleasant to listen to, the truth is true. There are indeed a large number of bastards in Russia who think that Wallachia is a mountain of gold and silver.

If they are allowed to continue doing things recklessly, then Li Xiao and Alexei will not have to live.

Li Xiao said angrily: "I will also write to Count Rostovtsev, asking him to think of a way for us, even if he doesn't give us money, at least he has to help us get rid of those jealous wolves! "

Alexei nodded, knowing that Li Xiao was going to be serious, and he would fully cooperate on his side, isn't it just crying for poverty? He will too!

Mi He Mi. Of course, it’s not enough just to cry about being poor, and they have to solve the specific troubles by themselves, but what they didn’t expect was that Wallachia had become a new focus in St. Petersburg before they shouted loudly. The bosses at the top all cast their gazes over...
