Pierre Giscard snorted and said, "And leather." ”

"It's not worth 200 million francs to rip your skin!"

Pierre Giscard glanced at the old marshal, tilted his head, and then retorted.

"It's a loan, and they're using Alaska as collateral."

"The Russians don't pay it back?!"

"How do you know they're not paying back? Or are you all colluding? ”

Pierre Giscard's practice of beating a rake is very common in shopping malls, but after all, Sirte is a soldier, and even if he is old and frail, he still retains a bit of blood.

"I'm going to kill you traitor right now!"

Seeing that the old marshal was really angry, the onlookers immediately put the old marshal's gun down.

"Prime Minister, don't be angry. Mr. Giscard has a point, there are still a few years to go, and then we will talk about it. ”

"Yes! The successful negotiation with the Russians is the first credit of Mr. Giskal! ”

"That's right! That's right! This is a victory for France! ”

"Win! Win! We've won hemp! ”

The people around you say a word, I say a word. The traitor who spent 200 million yuan to buy a freezer in Soul's mouth has become a "hero" in the mouth of everyone.

Soult could only drop the scepter in his hand on the ground and walk away, because there were too many Orleanist financial capitalists in the cabinet at this time, and they colluded with each other, even if Guizot went to North America, they could not suppress the development of this group of people.

Soule could only go to King Louis Philippe, but the big financiers behind the Orleans faction had already communicated with the latter, and the former could only touch the ashes.

In the end, at Soult's repeated requests, Pierre Giscard was dismissed from office and did not suffer any substantial punishment.

200 million francs may not seem like much to the July Dynasty, which had an annual revenue of 1.4 billion francs, but in fact the French government at this time spent more money than it did every year.

And the deficit pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and if it goes on like this, the entire French government will have to work for the financial capitalists.

At this time, the French government could only continue to borrow 200 million francs, and the interest on the loan was higher than the interest that France lent to the Russians.

In the end, the capitalists at the top of the dynasty won, and so did the Russians, but all these burdens were passed on to the state.

Soult could only sit in his office and sigh, and although he felt that the Orleanists were playing with fire, he could not accept the Bonapartist faction who advocated war.

As for the orthodox who advocated a traditional monarchy, it was a joke in Sirter's eyes, because the revolution was more than just a few heads.

There are some things that can't be killed once they appear, and there are things that die and can never come back.

Louis Philippe actually felt that the deal was worth it, and he was proud of his achievements.

You must know that Alaska is three times the size of mainland France, and what king in the history of such a cultural and martial arts can compare with himself?

In fact, the French never gave up the struggle for the Rhine region and the three southern German states, but the German Confederation was too strong at this time, so he needed help.

And this obviously can't be the British, after all, the British don't want any continental country to become too strong.

Of course, it can't be Prussia or Austria, because the Rhineland is the land of the former, and the latter is nominally the presidency of the German Confederation.

As for countries like Sweden and Poland, they can't be on the table at all, and of course it's another matter if the Poles can really return to their country, but judging from the performance of the past few months, Louis Philippe feels that the energy of these people is limited.

Russia also had ambitions for the German region and was very dissatisfied with Austria's actions in the Balkans, so it was the most suitable ally for France at this time.

In the Caucasus, the new governor Paskevich did not rush into the mountains for a decisive battle, but adopted a step-by-step strategy.

Advance step by step with deep ditch fortresses, resolutely engage in a head-on decisive battle, and then take the opportunity to send Cossack cavalry on a plundering mission.

The so-called plundering mission is a barbaric tactic, similar to the three-light policy of the Japanese army during the anti-Japanese period, only more primitive and barbaric.

The Caucasian governor Paskevich authorized the Cossacks and soldiers who dared to plunder freely into the mountains of the Caucasus.

They can pillage any hostile target, while killing all those who resist, including property and the rebels themselves.

At first, Imam Shamil led his Chechen soldiers to put up a stubborn resistance, achieving a large number of victories and indeed scaring some of the Cossacks away.

But in front of the Russians, who believe in the difficulties of the iron rod sweeping, the difficulties increase, and the iron rod is doubled. The heroic resistance of the Imam Khanate only added some fun to Paskeevich.

The executioner, who had suppressed the Warsaw uprising, had asked for some new toys from Tsar Nicholas I before he came.

They were prisoners from Siberia and criminals from St. Petersburg, among them thieves, hooligans, gangsters, murderers, cultists, Decembrists, and some ordinary people who took risks.

Paskewicz trained them, gave them weapons, and promised them a chance to atone for their sins.

"Let's fight! You scumbags! Go kill! Go for destruction! Kill those enemies of Russia! Go conquer! Go to slavery! Let their wives and daughters weep under your "moon boasts"! .

Remember! The victor will not only get honor, but also freedom! ”

"Men are going to fight!"

Paskeewicz's words, though simple, are very clear, targeted and inflammatory.

Later, more convict legions and Cossack cavalry entered the mountains, and they were rampant, far more effective in combat than the average gray cattle, and more in behavior.

The mountain people of the Caucasus were devastated, the rebels were slaughtered, and those who surrendered became transported mules and horses and slaves to be bullied.

Imam al-Shamir's request for help was not answered, and this time he sent another group to Tripoli.

When the Chechens arrived in Tripoli on Ottoman ships, the Karamanli were as ready to receive them as ever.

Tripoli.

In 814 BC, the Phoenicians founded a city here. Later, the Romans, Arabs, Spaniards, and Turks came here successively, leaving a colorful mark on it.

This oasis city is completely different from the deserts you see along the way, with blue seas, blue skies, lush cities, busy ports, beautiful architecture, everything is unforgettable.

But Ibrajim, the representative of the Imam Khanate, and his men had no such idleness, and the stewards of the Karamanli received them with the usual enthusiasm.

The sumptuous food and fragrant liquor, combined with the leisurely sea breeze and the energetic performances of the dancing musicians, make these people from the bitter cold land feel a little unreal.
