Ostensibly, the Tsar facilitated the visit through in-laws, as the Chinese crown prince was her father-in-law.

The father-in-law and daughter-in-law had a friendly meeting, and the father-in-law sent a big gift, the most urgent financial support from Russia.

After the talks, the two sides announced in a high-profile manner that China would provide Russia with a financing of 10 million taels of gold, and that Russia announced that it would open its domestic investment market and welcome foreign investment, not only Chinese capital, but also Western capital.

This financing will allow Russia to continue fighting.

The disguised support of the Chinese has greatly boosted the morale of Russia, which already has a psychological advantage over the Ottoman Empire, and now it is more confident, and the attitude of the military top brass towards the female tsar has begun to change, after all, it is an important political achievement to be supported by a large country like China, and they have begun to look positively at the queen's family background for the first time.

China's attitude is enough to arouse the vigilance of Prussia, they have just experienced an extremely tragic battle with Russia, Britain has co-opted them in the hope of continuing to press, they are hesitant, they do not care about the interests of the Ottoman Empire, they are worried that after Russia completely repels the Ottoman Empire, in the direction of the Black Sea, Austria will face the Russian threat alone, of course, Austria does not regard China as a threat, because he is terrified and does not want to look at it directly. Prussia, for its part, began to worry about whether Russia would refocus its attention on Poland after resolving the threat on the southern front.

China's statement made them calm down instantly, once they get China's support, Russia's combat capability will be greatly enhanced, and they will not gain anything to continue to fight hard with Russia. Moreover, once China is attracted to the war, it is impossible for the two countries, which have fought a vicious war for two years, to win, and even if Britain enters the war, there is no chance of victory.

As for whether China will enter the war, it is possible, when China mediated the Crimean War with armed forces, Austria and other countries accepted the agreement, Britain and the Ottoman Empire refused to accept it, and finally China did not hesitate to enter the war, they could fight for Russia, of course, they were the most ruthless in weakening Russia.

In addition, the bombs planted by Bismarck for Prussia and Austria began to work.

Because the agreement between Prussia and the Tsar was that Russia ceded Poland controlled by Russia before the war to Prussia, but the Poland controlled by Russia before the war included Austrian Poland, Lviv, Krakow, Lublin and other places belonged to Russia-controlled Poland.

If it is only a literal dispute, the key is that because Radetzky went south to support Moltke, Russia besieged Wei to rescue Zhao and occupied Austrian Poland again. In the end, when the Prussian and Austrian forces launched a major counteroffensive from the northern front, Austria did recover part of Austrian Poland, but Prussia also occupied part of Austrian Poland, with the result that Austria attacked mainly in the direction of Kiev, they controlled Lviv, while Prussia captured Krakow and Lublin.

Compared with the land that Austria seized from Russia, the area of these two pieces of land lost is not even half, but the problem is that this is the Polish territory that was divided by the Austrians fifty years ago in 1795, and half a century of operation has allowed Austria to have a lot of interests here, many Austrian nobles own land here, many Austrian capitalists have investments here, and there are a large number of Austrian Germans living here.

Bismarck hyped up the territorial dispute through the newspapers, he was not in a hurry to let Prussia and Austria go to war immediately, just ended a war, neither country was able to go to war, Bismarck was using public opinion to put pressure on the Prussian king, so that the king could not make concessions to Austria under the pressure of public opinion, then the territorial dispute between the two countries would always exist. In the near future, a war would inevitably arise, in which Prussia would expel Austria from the German Confederation and make Prussia the sole leader of the German region, thus preparing the most important step for the unification of Germany.

Britain found that the internal divisions between Prussia and Austria were so serious that they could not fight each other together, the great states of Germany could not be united, and Russia was at war and had suffered great damage in the war, and the ceded territory, with a population of more than 20 million, was greatly damaged.

Russia could not be stopped, but became an important force leading China westward, and the internal strife of the great German powers, and the same serious damage, could not stop this westward force, and the French kept their eyes on Britain and were constantly in discord with Britain in the western Mediterranean. The Napoleonic family, the French royal family that is now in power, has a very special relationship with China, and it is even more unlikely that they will stand up to stop the Chinese.

Britain suddenly found that this was the time when European power was at its loosest and its forces blocking China's westward advance were weakest.

Such a great war between Russia and Germany weakened almost all the forces that could stop China's westward advance.

Will the Chinese take advantage of this opportunity?

How could it not!

If not, what is the crown prince going to Russia for, really to help his daughter-in-law?

Give Russia a loan and let Russia go to war, with only one purpose, to let them fight the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire had always made all sorts of mistakes in diplomacy, and as a declining empire, they always placed themselves in the key position of restricting the entry and exit of the Black Sea powers in the Mediterranean, or the entry and exit of the Mediterranean powers, acting as an obstacle that made people have the urge to beat.

If Russia wants to break through the Black Sea blockade, the Ottoman Empire will jump out, Britain and France will help him, and China will break through this shackle, Britain will still jump out, and France may not help, but Austria has been ambiguous in its attitude over the years, coupled with a hostile Russia, so that China has always been unwilling to break through.

But now, Russia will not stop China, Austria is powerless to stop China, and the Ottoman blocking rope is now fragile and seems to be broken with a finger at will, and if this kind of good opportunity is not known and dare not be used, Chinese diplomats can die.

In front of China, the only one that has the ability to block is the United Kingdom.

China is certainly not afraid of a war with Britain, and now is not the time for Zhou Lang to be subject to the Royal Navy in the early days.

However, the current strategy is to break through the Black Sea blockade, enter the Mediterranean, and connect with China's forces in the eastern Mediterranean, rather than a decisive battle with Britain.

So to be able to achieve the goal without fighting, of course, is the best choice.

Great empires always have a tendency to support agents, and unconsciously China has grown to interfere in the internal affairs of a big country like Russia, and there is no need to go into battle in person, and a vassal Ural kingdom can solve the problem, so it seems that there is no need to go into battle shirtless for such a trivial matter as breaking through the Black Sea shackles, unless Britain is willing to go into battle shirtless, China will stand up to fight.

As for whether China is in the Black Sea region, of course, there is no shortage of agents, and the best doglegs, naturally, it is none other than the Greek kingdom ruled by Chinese princes!
