The footsteps of the changing of the guard sounded outside the door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The Info chapter updates the Iron Palm of the fastest military boot, which almost knocks the granite floor out of Mars. Tall and burly soldiers of the Guards saluted each other, exchanged guns, took their positions, and then guarded their tsar.

Alexander II looked up from the pile of papers and rubbed his eyes. The sound of a changing of the guard outside the door reminded him that another four hours had passed.

This year, His Majesty the Tsar is forty-six years old, which is the best age for a politician. Experience, experience, energy, connections, wisdom and other aspects are the best times. Only such a politician can lead to the empire of Russia, which is mired in mud - but this is not an easy task. Although the Russian Empire was known as a double-headed eagle, one head was on Europe and the other on Asia. But in fact, everyone knows that Russia's energy is all in Europe, but it has used a small thumb to expand in Asia, and it has achieved incredible success! It was not until the miraculous rise of the Ming Empire seventeen years ago that Russia had a truly difficult opponent in Asia. It was this opponent who took advantage of the crisis caused by the last Russo-Turkish war to take advantage of the fire to rob and unite with Britain, France, Russia, Turkey, Austria and other countries to fight against Russia, and in one fell swoop seized half of the results of Russia's eastward expansion in the past few hundred years. It also put the Russian Empire in a miserable situation of being attacked on both sides overnight.

When Alexander II took over the Tsar's scepter, he knew that Russia no longer had the strategic advantage over the countries of Eastern and Central Europe, which it had since the time of Peter the Great. Because Russia needs to devote half of its forces to the defense of the east! This also means that the great powers of Eastern, Central and even Western Europe may now be the target of their expansion. Point to the rich provinces of western Russia. For example, Russian Poland! All sorts of intelligence are showing. The current unrest in Poland is supported by France and Prussia! This was even recognized by the Prussian side, which, according to them, was forced to follow France in the Polish question, and it was not their own will...... That's not good news! If Wilhelm I and Bismarck did not lie, then that is, France and the Roman Empire already had the power to dominate Prussia! A France that dominates Prussia is equivalent to a France that dominates all of Western and Central Europe! And. The French and Roman Empires also effectively dominated the Mexican Empire in the Americas, and it is likely that it would also dominate the politics of the Confederate States of America. I am afraid that soon, Napoleon III will complete the task that his uncle did not accomplish and become the overlord of the world!

And for Russia, this will be a real catastrophe. Because the Russian Empire has always been the most populous, the most extensive land and the most resource-rich country in Europe. For France, which dominated all of Western and Central Europe, there was no day of peace without the collapse of the Russian Empire.

So, the unrest in Poland was the beginning of the dismemberment of the Russian Empire by France and the Roman Empire! Once they succeed in Poland. The next step will be to attack Moravia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc...... And finally, even Russian proper!

If Napoleon I had not been in a hurry, he would have killed the Russian hinterland. Rather, if we had taken a step by step encroachment and split from the Russian Empire all the lands that had not been conquered by the successive kings of the Russian Empire, I am afraid that there would have been no Battle of Waterloo...... And Napoleon III is obviously a man who is very good at learning his lessons, he will not repeat the mistakes of Napoleon I, and will definitely use the method of cannibalization and division against Russia!

And Russia, in internal and external difficulties, is suffering from the enemy on its belly and back, and there is really no way out!

The sound of footsteps outside the door pulled the Russian tsar back from his thoughts. The door to the office was pushed open, and in came a young man in a straight uniform but with a sickly face. There was only one person in the entire Winter Palace who could enter the Tsar's office without knocking, and that was Crown Prince Nikolai. Aleksandrovich too.

Nikolai. Aleksandrovich coughed lightly twice, then pulled a chair and sat down. Seeing that his son was coughing, the Tsar's brow furrowed slightly. Because Crown Prince Nikolai is suffering from tuberculosis...... Although the world's greatest physician, chemist, biologist, and bacteriologist Zhu Jishi developed the ability to alleviate tuberculosis and berberine and heroin, these two miraculous drugs could not completely cure Crown Prince Nicholas!

(Historical Nikolai. Aleksandrovich died of tuberculosis in 1865, and Alexander II succeeded to the throne by his second son, Alexander III. And now, thanks to the appearance of berberine, Crown Prince Nikolai can survive half-dead for a long time. If nothing else, the next Tsar will be Nicholas II - certainly not the historical Nicholas II, but the outcome may not be much better. ）

Sick man Nicholas II...... Thinking of what nicknames the people of the world and the Russian people would give his son in the future, Alexander II had a feeling of despair. A mired empire, coupled with a sickly tsar, is the best combination of dead countries!

"Nikolai, are you feeling better?" Alexander II tried to squeeze out a smile, but in his heart he complained about his grandfather, Paul I. Why did this fool sign a decree establishing primogeniture on the tsar's throne? There was no way for him to annul his son's inheritance unless he was willing to give it up - of course, Alexander II was not necessarily impossible, but in 1825 there was a "Decembrist uprising" because of the change of crown prince, which almost overthrew the Romanov dynasty. Therefore, Alexander II did not dare to change the crown prince easily, so as not to add fuel to the already turbulent situation in the country. As for the murder of his own son, Alexander II really couldn't do it......

"Father, I'm better, I can't die." The future Nicholas II nodded listlessly. With Zhu Jishi's berberine, he, a tuberculosis patient, can live for a long time, and it is even possible to have a miracle of cure, although there are not many examples.

"Father, this is the report of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and I happened to meet Duke Gorchakov when I came over." The crown prince handed the Tsar a red copy of the telegram. "It was sent by the Queen of England, who knew that I had tuberculosis and wanted me to go to England for treatment, where there are the best hospitals and doctors in the world, and there are the best pharmaceutical companies in the world, and now there are several new drugs that are said to be useful for tuberculosis treatment."

At present, the best hospital in the world is in Oxfordshire, England. Churchill Medical Center, just listen to the name and know that there is a stake in Emperor Zhu...... Oh, and now the hospital's shares have been transferred to the name of Chu Kwok-kit, King of Hawaii and Duke of Hong Kong Island. However, the Russian crown prince can rest assured and boldly go to this hospital for treatment, just because he will become Nicholas II, our Emperor Zhu will not let him be killed!

"What? The Queen of England invited you to England for treatment? Alexander II tasted it carefully, and his face suddenly showed joy. This shows that the British Empire wants to improve relations with the Russian Empire! The alliance of the British Empire with France and China has come to an end! ”

"Yes, I think so!" Crown Prince Nikolai coughed again, "Father, I want to leave for England immediately!" If possible...... I want to bring about an Anglo-Russian alliance! ”

"No, it's not that easy." Alexander II smiled and waved his hand, "The Anglo-Russian alliance is equal to a world war!" But...... There is no doubt that we can change the present situation in Russia with the help of Britain! Well, while war may eventually be inevitable, it is not yet coming. In the coming period, there is a possibility of a secret rivalry between Britain and France and China! ”

"Father, does this mean that we can go all out to suppress the rebellion in Poland?" Crown Prince Nikolai showed an excited expression, he was eager to be the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency army and prove himself to be a competent crown prince on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
