Zhou Lang once buried a pit for Alexander II, so that Russia was later subjected to a joint attack by Peu-Austria, when Zhou Lang was also ready to attack, and the surprise attack of the Urals on Moscow was also within Zhou Lang's plan, but the subsequent development of the situation was out of Zhou Lang's design.

Zhou Lang judged at that time that the Ula army entered Moscow, the Russian front-line army would inevitably return to Moscow to quell the rebellion, and the Prussian and Austrian forces would drive straight in, and in the end, Russia would only face the fate of being divided. Zhou Lang even devised several plans at that time, as an independent state between the Don River and the Dnieper, it could be called the Grand Duchy of Ukraine or the Cossack Principality; north of the Volga, a state, which could be called the Grand Duchy of Novgorod, was established and merged with Finland or became independent; With Moscow as the center, under the protection of China, the female tsar will continue to rule in the name of the Russian tsar, ruling in a vain Russia.

Unexpectedly, the female tsar quickly balanced the forces of various factions, and the imaginary civil strife in Russia did not appear, and the development of the situation was that the female tsar really controlled Russia. It also strengthened the results of Speransky's reforms, which allowed Russia to completely get rid of the rule of the aristocracy and become a bourgeois state.

In recent years, although technology, capital, education, and various undertakings still lag behind the West, the speed of development has been extremely fast. Relying on Russia's huge size, agriculture and mining are among the few in Europe, and Russia's comprehensive strength has gradually caught up with France. It is definitely in the top three in Europe at the moment, behind the United Kingdom and the newly unified Germany.

Moreover, Russia is still developing rapidly, with a population of 60 million, and industry, mining, and transportation are all developing rapidly. The female tsar also attached more importance to education than previous tsars, and established a large number of secular schools with the aim of completing compulsory education in Russia, which was different from the behavior of tsars in this period of history, and it can be said that the track of Russia's development has deviated from the historical direction.

The attitude of such a rapidly becoming stronger Russia had a great influence on Europe. And the female tsar was very slippery, and after seizing Moldova from Austria, she once again stopped expanding and focused on development. At home, the balance between the various forces was carefully played, with the new aristocracy against the kulaks, and with religion against the magnates. Putting himself outside the political struggle has made his position stable and the final arbiter.

The construction of the railway from India to Russia was very fast, it took only three years to complete the construction, India was directly connected with the Russian railway, which played a great role in promoting the economic development of Russia, and a large amount of cotton from India poured into Russia, providing cheap raw materials for Russia's fragile textile industry; Russian minerals and metallurgical products entered the Indian market. The expansion of trade between the two sides has played a significant role in promoting the Russian economy.

Even if war breaks out now, Germany can quickly defeat France, but it is impossible to quickly defeat Russia, which has a deep hinterland, and once France and Russia are united, the European continent will be very evenly balanced.

Therefore, a strong Russia is not in China's interests. Moreover, mutual trust between the two countries has always been insufficient, not because of insufficient efforts at the top level, but because of the contradictions and hatred in reality. Just as China in the 21st century has never forgotten the more than one million ordinary kilometers of territory taken away by Russia, the current Russians have always been haunted by China's seizure of Russian territory, the vast Siberia, the nearby Urals, the lower reaches of the Volga River, and the Caucasus. Nationalism was in the ascendant, and the more it developed, the more the Russians hated their eastern neighbor.

Even if the female tsar was the granddaughter-in-law of the Chinese emperor, there was no guarantee that Russia would always cooperate with China's foreign policy. Moreover, Zhou Lang's grandson is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In recent years, there has been a vocal voice in Russia, that is, some people have called for the female tsar to withdraw the declaration of the heir to renounce the Russian throne. They believed that once the Tsar and the children of the Ural kings inherited the Tsar's throne, then the Urals and the territories of Assam and Dobroga could naturally be incorporated into Russia. These include the Urals, which is vital to Russia's strategy, the Dobroga region, which is important for Russia's control of relations between the Black Sea and the Danube, and Assam, a scarce tropical territory in Russia.

It is difficult to guarantee that it is not the emperor Zhou Chun who is pushing these voices. He spent much more time in Moscow than in the Urals. Moreover, he began to play a special role in Russian politics, using his kingdom as a bait to fear that the territory-greedy Russians would accept his descendants to inherit the Russian throne.

This is the purpose of his acquisition of Dobroga, no matter how you look at it, the significance to the Black Sea countries is more important, the Urals are far inland, Assam is still on the other side of India, on the grounds that these two territories need to transit by sea, the capture of Dobroga is more of an ambition to attract Russia.

And in recent years, the Urals continued to develop in the direction of yeoman farming and militarization, and the various ethnic groups under militarized management were under intense management, with a population of only eight million, but they have maintained the mobilization capacity of two million troops, while Assam has developed in the direction of economic liberalization, with rapid population growth and rapid economic development, which is the financial source of his country. Dobroga attracts Chinese investors, mainly trade, and it doesn't matter what the economy can become. The important thing is the location, which controls the mouth of the Danube, and the more the trade between Austria and China develops, the more important it becomes.

Three territories with a population of 20 million are already not to be underestimated in themselves, and the attraction to the Russians is self-evident. In many respects, Zhou Chun expressed his attitude that he did not mind the integration of his country into Russia, and it gave the Russians a huge space for imagination. The only obstacle was that Konstantin and other Russian magnates forced the female tsar to give up the inheritance rights of her descendants.

Zhou Chun took advantage of the ambitions of the Russian moderation and realist political forces to win over a group of political allies and exert a unique influence in Russian politics.

But the combination of the Tsarist couple and China's influence is unlikely to make Russia a truly trustworthy military ally for China. Because the two sides lacked a common enemy, and because of Russia's geographical location, it was impossible to achieve China's strategic goal, which was to directly deter Britain. France could, and so could Prussia.

It is a pity that France has now lost its ability and ambition to confront Britain, and Germany, under the leadership of Bismarck, is too stable and unwilling to directly confront Britain.

Zhou Lang found that the balance of power on the European continent that the British worked hard to maintain was really in line with Britain's interests. This balance of power now makes it impossible for China to even find a suitable ally near Britain.

After France, Germany was the only factor that could upset this balance, but as long as Germany did not develop its navy, it would be impossible for Germany to go against Britain, and as long as Bismarck was in power, Germany was unlikely to develop its navy in full force.

It is very difficult for such a major geopolitical shock as the Franco-Prussian War to occur once in a short period of time, and the conflict between Germany and Britain cannot be brewed and matured in a short period of time.

Zhou Lang couldn't wait for the First World War, and he had to familiarize himself with the contradictions between Britain and the European hegemon as soon as possible. The British had already abandoned the continental territories, and only by giving the Germans access to the sea could they conflict.

But after the Franco-Prussian War, Bismarck's Germany, on the one hand, was trying to maintain vested interests, quickly digesting and absorbing the newly incorporated South German states, which were not incorporated into Prussia, but joined the German Empire, and they retained too many powers, including diplomatic and military powers, which needed to be reorganized by Bismarck.

Externally, it is France, which is beginning to recover rapidly, and Bismarck must guard against French revenge, France begins to move closer to Russia, and Bismarck wants to prevent France and Russia from approaching.

But the king's greed made Bismarck encounter a huge obstacle, the Polish question is a dead knot, the current Poland can no longer be returned to Russia, even the Memel Bismarck that Russia asks for cannot be given to Russia, as long as Russia wants to find an ice-free port in the Baltic direction, it will inevitably seize it from Germany.

Historically, Bismarck took advantage of the contradictions between Britain and Russia to make Russia dependent on Germany. At the same time, it encouraged Russia to expand in the direction of the Black Sea and create contradictions between Russia and Britain and France. But in this history, Britain and France did not pose a great threat to Russia, and Britain even had to maintain Russia's power and let Russia block China's penetration into Europe. Russia's expansion into the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea was also cut off, and a Straits Convention made that place a completely balanced area of power, and Britain could not squeeze into it, let alone Russia.

The only thing that Bismarck could make Russia dependent on Germany was the pressure that Russia faced from China, and Russia always had to face the pressure of China, a powerful land neighbor, and although the current Tsar was in power and seemed to be calm, there was always a powerful group of forces against China within Russia, and these political forces could be used by Bismarck.

Bismarck could promise Russia that Germany would remain neutral and even help Russia when they went to war with China, but Bismarck did not dare to do so, which meant that Bismarck would take over the British banner and begin to form a political bloc against China in Europe, and Germany would inevitably take over Britain and become the target of China's attack.

Bismarck wanted to maintain a more favorable diplomatic position for Germany, rather than for Germany to become the center of some kind of bloc and get involved in the conflict of political blocs.

If we can't use the confrontation with China to win over Russia, we can only choose to restrain Russia, and the best way to restrain Russia is to get closer to China. Under the principle of long-distance communication and close attack, France and Russia, which are on the east and west sides of Germany, are natural allies, and China and Germany, which are on the east and west sides of Russia, are naturally natural allies.

Therefore, Bismarck tried to establish a military alliance with China against Russia in order to contain Russia. The treaty had a number of constraints, such as stipulating that the treaty would only come into force if Germany was attacked by Russia, or if China was attacked by Russia, which meant that the alliance was defensive in nature.

Such an alliance treaty, if the crown prince was in power, would not have bothered to look at it, and he would not have looked down on the Germans at all. Moreover, the crown prince believed that his daughter-in-law was the Russian tsar and should not be involved in an alliance against Russia.

Zhou Lang agreed, and his decision made many people not understand.
