War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Franz and Olga had just left the secret room of the Royal Hall, with a hint of shy flush on their faces. Both of them knew very well that their biggest task at this time was to obtain an heir.

This is important to both, especially Olga, whose age has caused her to be criticized, and if she were not from the Romanov family, the voice would have been even more blatant.

A letter was placed on Franz's desk, a handwritten letter from Tsar Nicholas I. Olga was a little excited by the long-lost letter from his home country, but she also knew that she would not mention her in this official document, so she leaned against Franz.

Franz did not shy away, after all, Olga was already the queen of the Austrian Empire at this time, and it is unlikely that he would mention anything other than official business with Nicholas I's character.

After reading Nicholas I's letter, Franz's face couldn't help but become solemn. Nicholas I wanted Lafranz to go into the water, which was long before the latter expected.

Russia's vanguard was frustrated in Dobroka, and the reinforcements and supplies from the rear were delayed. Now it has reached the end of its reach.

It has to be said that the commander of the Russian vanguard is a tough guy. Even in this desperate situation, he still did not choose to surrender, which somewhat subverted Franz's perception.

According to the standards of this era, this Russian vanguard is beyond reproach even if it surrenders.

Nicholas I's approach seemed a bit abnormal to Franz. Once the Austrian Empire joined the war, Russia lost the opportunity to eat alone.

Even if Franz was willing to give up, the people and bureaucracy of the Austrian Empire could not accept it. Moreover, this opportunity to "eat alone" was finally won by Nicholas I.

But it may also be because of Nicholas I's character that the commanders on the front line chose to fight to the end.

Of course, it is also possible that Russia really cannot accept the losses of 50,000 people, and the losses of the 50,000 standing troops will be a damaging move for a behemoth like Russia.

But putting aside these things, Nicholas I offered was attractive enough that Russia was willing to recognize Moldavia as the sphere of influence of the Austrian Empire.

Although he was painting a big cake and bribing Austria with Ottoman land, Franz felt that he could take a try.

Olga felt a little incredible when he saw the content of the letter. After all, in her heart, her arrogant father never seemed to bow his head. It seemed that Russia was in big trouble this time.

Olga instinctively wanted to speak, but she still held it back. After all, she had known Franz these days, although the latter was gentle, but not weak, or she was extremely tough at heart.

Franz felt clearly the changes in Olga's breathing and heartbeat.

"Smart woman. Don't worry, I will not refuse to save my father-in-law. The alliance between Russia and Austria should be unbreakable."

"Is this your truth?"

Olga flirted with his hair and wrapped it around Franz's neck.

"Of course it's true, and I hope it's always been"

Dobroga, Ottoman Front Command.

Ormapasha was worried when facing his own good situation. With Ahmed Irmaz's young officers have been asking for battle, demanding the complete elimination of the Russian vanguard.

In fact, the Russians have been surrounded by temporary fortresses for more than a month. Ormapasha always adopted the strategy of three missing one, but these Russians did not seem to give face and did not escape. Meaning.

This made Olmapasha feel a headache of ten or even nine points. The top leaders of the Ottoman Empire agreed that the invasion of Russia's territory would likely lead to the Austrian Empire joining the war and dividing the Ottoman Empire's land.

Another consensus is that even with the support of Britain, the Ottoman Empire would not be able to defeat Russia and the Austrian Empire and join forces.

Due to McGide's Tanzimat reform, the national and religious contradictions in the Ottoman Empire were greatly intensified, leading to the rampant extremists.

Why did Tanzimatt's original intention of reform be national liberation, but in the end it intensify the contradictions?

Francis Bacon once said: "What is really terrible is not the kind of thought that everyone cannot avoid, but the kind of fallacy and prejudice that penetrates into customs and entrenches deep in people's hearts."

The traditional concept of the Ottoman Empire that was overturned overnight will inevitably lead to a backlash. How could the son of the slave owner be willing to sit in the same seat and work together with the son of the slave?

In addition to the prejudices in people's hearts, there is also the mountain of religion. The power of Ottoman religion is an existence that cannot be imagined by later Easterners, and it is definitely not a straw hut that can be destroyed in one breath.

Moreover, McGide’s so-called equality is not true equality. Non-Muslims are still suffering from discrimination and oppression. Coupled with far more defeats and foreign intervention than in history, the Ottoman family eventually successfully angered everyone.

In addition, the remnants of Mohammed Ali, a bad example, are still eroding the entire Ottoman Empire, first with Neizhi, then with Tunisia, and the rule of the Sudan is no longer sacred and inviolable.

Ormapasha and Empress Dowager Sevkevza knew very well that once the Ottoman Empire declined, the Ottoman family would most likely follow in the footsteps of the French Bourbon dynasty, and would even be even more miserable.

After all, they knew very well that the rules of the desert were more cruel, and the losers might not even leave their bones.

However, Colin Campbell, an army adviser sent to the Ottoman Empire, did not think so. General Colin Campbell, 58, participated in the expedition to Valholon Island, the Iberian Peninsula War, the US-British War, and the fight in the West Indies. He has been indigenous, pursued slave traders in Africa, and even invaded the Far East, which is a great achievement.

Colin Campbell believed that this was the best chance to defeat Russia, so he kept encouraging Ormapasha to take the initiative to attack the Russian army and fight an annihilation battle.

"This annihilation war will bring ten years of peace to the Ottoman Empire."

The young officers of the Ottoman Empire agreed with Colin Campbell's words. To be honest, Olmapasha was also very moved by this. He even said that if he was not the commander-in-chief of the Ottoman Army, he would have chosen to be the same as Colin Campbell. Strategy.

However, at the current position of Ormapasha, he has to consider more. In order not to let the worst happen, he could only choose this frustrating way.

At this time, Almapasha's most trusted aide Zaganos found him just after coming from Istanbul.

"Pasha, why don't you choose to attack?"

"Occurrence? Stop kidding! Zaganos, you don't know that this country is already in a state of danger! Sultan is young, and the Queen Mother is a woman after all.

If the Austrian Empire is really involved, then this country will be over! ”

Ormapasha complained that his friend was still teasing him at this time, but Zaganos just smiled and showed his white teeth.

"Then why not let the fire burn a little bigger?"
