Tsar Nicholas I frowned, and said to himself, "The French are so dark!" Fortunately, he was going to sell instead of borrowing. ”

At this point, Illarion elbowed Pierre Giscard, who was somewhat reluctantly pushed two steps.

Tsar Nicholas I noticed this action and said.

"What else?"

Pierre Giscard looked at Illarion, who held his head high and didn't look into the other's eyes.

Pierre Giscard had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Louis Philippe, the great king of our country, has one more request."

This kind of rambling guy made Nicholas I very unappetizing, and he turned around and said coldly.

"Say."

I don't know if the Russian winter was too cold, or the Tsar's tone was too cold, in short, Pierre Giscard subconsciously shivered.

In fact, Pierre Giscard has seen many big names in his own right.

Whether it is James Rothschild (also known as Amslow Rothschild), the head of the Rothschild family in France, or a descendant of the Napoleonic family, he can deal with it calmly, and even make the other party ask for it.

It's just that in front of this majestic tsar, he feels as helpless as a lamb to the slaughter, but he can't help but say it.

In fact, even if he doesn't say it, it won't change anything, after all, when it comes to signing the contract, everything will be revealed, and he will be more passive at that time.

So Pierre Giscard plucked up his courage and said.

"His Majesty Louis Philippe would like you to do France a small favor."

This time Nicholas I didn't bother to open his mouth again, just looked at each other coldly.

"Your Majesty hopes that Russia will help expel the Mexican forces entrenched in California."

Pierre Giscard did not dare to meet the Tsar's gaze, and the palace was deadly silent, and the temperature around him seemed to drop by a few degrees.

"You go back first, we'll think about it."

The Tsar's tone was calm, and Pierre Giscard fled the palace as if he had been granted amnesty.

Illarion received another hard slap in the face.

"Idiot! Idiot! Is California a place for Mexicans? It's all Austrians! The commander of the garrison was a member of the House of Habsburg!

If we do this, I'm afraid that this 100 million francs will not be enough for military spending! ”

Although the United States had suffered a terrible defeat in the Battle of California, the Russians at this time did not feel that it was anything, because the Americans were just a bunch of ridiculous and vulgar people.

Illarion wanted to explain something, but was trampled on by the Tsar in the jawbone.

"You shouldn't have let that idiot appear in front of me!"

Nicholas I punched and kicked Prime Minister Illarion again until he was tired and let out a long breath.

At this time, Prince Mainekov, who was on the side, saw that Nicholas I's anger had been reduced by most of the time, so he stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, what about military spending?"

Nicholas I's head hurts again, and although the gray cattle of Russia are the army with the lowest supply needs in all of Europe, this does not mean that they do not need supplies.

Especially in a harsh environment, sometimes supplies are more important than weapons and equipment. The easiest way to fight deep into the mountains is to cut off the enemy's supplies, and without supplies in the vast mountains is no different from sending them to death.

But he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Isn't there cholera going on out there right now?"

"Yes, but what does this have to do with military spending?"

The Tsar sighed, his own men were really useless.

The Duke of Lyubai (the head of the special third section) on the side already understood what the tsar meant, and this kind of thing naturally could not be said by Caesar himself.

So it was his turn to appear in the black glove.

"Your Majesty, I have received a report from an informant that the people behind this plague may be the Jews."

"Damn Jews are so wicked!"

At this time, Prince Mainekov also reacted, although he was cursing the Jews for not dying well, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"Go ahead and do it. Before Paskevich's army goes on the march, you have to settle the supply problem. ”

Nicholas I then waved his hand and motioned for people to leave, including Illarion, who was lying on the ground and dying.

At this time Nicholas I was a little irritable, he did not understand how his country was suddenly not so good.

In fact, as history has changed, Russia's trade with the Austrian Empire accounted for more than a quarter of the national income.

The historical Imam Khanate did cause a lot of trouble for Russia, but without the support of Austria with weapons and supplies, they would have been doomed by now.

Imam al-Shamir was a great leader of the rebels, but he was not a good partner.

After all, Franz asked the Karamanli family to send them so much supplies and intelligence, and when they were in the prime of life, they actually killed the messenger sent by Franz.

At this time, Russia was once again overwhelmed by large troops, especially the pocket tactics of Count Barria Jones almost blocked the survival of the Imam Khanate.

In fact, such a war of attrition Russia suffered much greater losses than the Imam Khanate, but unfortunately Russia could afford to consume it, and the Imam Khanate was about to fall apart.

So Imam al-Shamir remembered again the "friend" who had helped him, and sent messengers to Tripoli several times to ask for help.

The Karamanli family was emotionally eager to tear the imams' khanates to pieces, but he knew very well that he was nothing more than a puppet planted by Franz.

So even if there is a great hatred, they can only endure it.

Franz didn't have much affection for such a fierce and cruel guy, but if Russia had always chosen to be pro-British, then it would be useful for Imam Shamir to keep him.

However, the specific way to do this depends on the future world situation.

As for the possible demise of the Imam Khanate, Franz did not care.

On the other hand, Prince Mainekov and Duke Lyubai had a hard time cleaning up the Jews.

"The Yusupov family?"

"No! No way! It was a relative of Grand Duke Mikhail. ”

"The Earnsweld family?"

"No! Russian-American companies still have their shares! ”

The Russo-American Company was a semi-colonial institution similar to the East India Company in Russia, which mainly engaged in the fur business, but it was backed by the royal family, so ordinary people could not move it.

"It doesn't work either! That won't work either! Where does military spending come from! ”

Prince Mainekov was already a soldier, and he was really not good at this kind of political struggle.

Duke Liubai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Royal Highness. You also know that His Majesty the Tsar wants military spending, and it doesn't really matter whether he is a Jew or not. ”

"Don't mess around, you guy! If things get bigger, you can't eat and walk around! ”

"Don't worry! It won't make a big fuss! Our target is the inferior Jews, the Poles, the Gypsies, the Uruks."

And so a huge campaign for money began, and millions of people had to leave their homes.
