Struggle in Russia

Thinking of this terrible scene, Nicholas I was restless. Hastily writing to the Habsburgs and Hohenzollerns, asking if the dear old friend is still holding on, and if his help is needed.

Not only did he send letters to the royal families of the two countries, Nicholas I also urgently sent letters to the Russian ambassadors and consuls in the two countries, asking them to immediately report the actual situation in the two countries for reference.

At this time, Nicholas I was in a hurry, because he felt that the rain was about to come. Worse things happened soon. According to Ordorf's report, there were signs of instability in Poland. The sneaky Polish mobs were just around the corner, preparing to set off another wave of uprising while Europe was in chaos.

As a last resort, Nicholas I had to revise the order to the army again, not to mention Paris, Berlin and Vienna, let's go to Warsaw first, and we must not let the foot wipes ruin things.

Under the order of Nicholas I, the brutal butcher general Nikolai Nikolaevich Muraviyov led the elite cavalry to Warsaw day and night. Kill all disobedient foot wipes.

The situation in February was really turbulent. Naturally, Leonid couldn't go on to Odessa as planned. Even his letter to Li Xiao was delayed by the turbulent situation on the muddy road in Russia.

It was at this time that Alexei left Vienna, under the pretext of visiting Istanbul as a special envoy to discuss the solution to the Wallachia issue with the Turks, and entered the Principality of Serbia in a semi-independent and semi-autonomous state.

In Belgrade, after finishing the courtesy meeting with the Grand Duke of Serbia Alexander Kara Georkivic, Alexei immediately found Doncic, the head of the third department in Serbia.

"What's the situation in Wallachia now?" Alexei asked a little anxiously.

"There was chaos, that idiot Viscount Beolgi didn't care about anything when he fled, which caused our people to lose their unified command. They were either arrested by the Wallachians, or they were forced to flee, and most of the rest were also lost. got in touch."

Such a situation was much worse than Alexei had expected. He met several spies from the third department and officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had escaped from Wallachia in Austria, thinking that the situation was bad enough. It was ten times worse.

"Is there still a channel to enter Wallachia?" Alexei asked with a frown. "We must restore contact. Your Majesty is eager to know the specific situation of Wallachia. After more than 20 years of operation, we can't do it." Such a fall short.”

Doncic sighed and said: "Of course there are channels, but they are not so reliable. Our friends in Wallachia were terrified,

They dare not come into contact with us easily, and most of them either have limited abilities or are unreliable at both ends. "

"Several of the spies I sent before disappeared for no reason, and I don't know if they were betrayed by those bastards, or..."

Doncic really wanted to kill Viscount Beolgi at this time. If it weren't for this idiot, why would Wallachia be like this. But this bastard has the guts to brag about being a hero in Vienna—a shitty hero crawling out of Wallachia on his knees.

What made Dongcic even more angry was that those bastards in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still defended that bastard, and even acquiesced to that guy's bragging, which really disgusted him.

So he warned: "Count, I must remind you that those bastards in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are unreliable. Don't believe anything they say!"

Alexei sighed again in his heart, he had already seen the cracks between the third ministry and the foreign ministry along the way. Viscount Beolgi's actions and Nesselrode's protection have put the two departments at loggerheads. In the Belgrade Consulate General, the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the people from the third department have already drawn a clear line and have different contacts.

The third part felt that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cheated, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs felt that the third part was too weak, so it didn't notice the changes in Wallachia. Anyway, the two sides were arguing, and they both shifted the responsibility to the other party.

So, how do you cooperate to carry out the work? It's really hard to move an inch.

Alexei asked helplessly: "Then you choose the most reliable route as soon as possible. I must go to Wallachia myself and see what's going on there with my own eyes!"

Alexey no longer entangled in the grievances between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the third department. Although he felt that both sides had problems and should be responsible for the bad situation, he was a member of the third department after all, and his subsequent work would depend more on the third department. Three help.

At this time, elbowing out to speak for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will only make the third department personnel in Wallachia, Austria and Serbia feel that he is not one of them. At this time, Alexei didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he had to offend the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first.

Dongcic said in surprise: "Are you going in person? But aren't you still visiting Istanbul?"

Alexey said: "Let's just say that I have a serious infectious disease and must be isolated and observed. Also, arrange a secluded and confidential place for me..."

After sending Doncic away, Alexei went back to the desk again, took up a pen and paper to write to Leonid and Li Xiao, and once again warned them not to trespass on Wallachia, because: " The situation is extremely bad, our local network has been almost completely destroyed, trespassing is a dead end! Friends, be patient and wait for my news..."

It's just that it's really hard to say when Alexei's letter will be delivered to St. Petersburg and Odessa, and when it will reach Leonid and Li Xiao.

At the same time, in Odessa, the biggest enemy of Li Xiao and others also appeared. Lieutenant General Mark Mikheevich suddenly came to this city for a so-called inspection, and then suddenly found Kornilov to ask about the movements of Li Xiao and others.

"Vladimir Alexievich, your people must act quickly. It has been more than a month. Why hasn't a single piece of information been sent back?"

"We spent so much money, why don't we let them come to the Black Sea for vacation? I want to know the situation in Moldavia and Wallachia! Immediately! Immediately!"

Kornilov is very clear that what Mark Mikheevich wants to know is not the situation in Wallachia and Moldavia, what he wants to know is Li Xiao's movements and where Li Xiao is. , This is a good way to make a targeted black hand.

Fortunately, Li Xiao had foreseen it and prepared a perfect plan, so Kornilov replied unhurriedly: "The 748 regiment has arrived in Izmail, and is going to cross the border to Tulcea soon, and then enter Vala Ji Ya, General, I think there should be an intelligence feedback recently..."
