"Dear, Nikolai Pavlovich is a very stubborn person, few people can convince him"
General Menshikov had already left Zhuge Weidao's mansion, and the Zhuge military advisor who personally escorted him out was walking on the lawn when he heard his wife's worried words.
It is indeed not easy to convince Tsar Nicholas I, but it is probably even more difficult to convince the bear who is accustomed to licking Western goddesses that he can really be the third Rome on an equal footing with the West.
Zhuge Weidao stopped and looked back at Natalie: "My dear, can't you do it too? How about asking Mikhail to go and talk to the Tsar?"
Natalie shook her head, but a smile appeared on her face: "My dear, I will definitely take Mikhail with me to persuade the Tsar, but our words are still not weighty enough. But I know that if someone comes forward, I will definitely
It will convince the Tsar."
"Who is that person?" Zhuge Weidao asked.
"Louis with black hair!" said Natalie, "Louis with black hair, Duke of Marseille!"
"Duke of Marseille?" Zhuge Weidao was a little confused, "The Tsar has a good relationship with him?"
"No, the Tsar doesn't know him," Natalie said, "but he is French, the brother of Louis XVII, and the marshal of the French navy. Although we Rakshasa were beaten badly by Napoleon, France is in our hearts
Its status is still higher than that of England!"
Yes, compared with the French goddess of freedom, democracy, and fraternity, the English goddess is just a country landowner with a few filthy riches. In the Rakshasa's court and aristocratic circles, speaking French is high-end, grand, and upscale.
.Even some Ming diplomats who didn’t know much about Rakshasa thought that when they first returned to Rakshasa, they thought it was a Slavic country under the rule of French aristocrats!
"Okay!" Zhuge Weidao nodded and looked at his wife, "Natalie, the great military advisor will definitely let the black-haired Louis go to Rakshasa. But you still have to explain the Ming Dynasty's position to Emperor Nicholas.
The Ming Dynasty looked forward to a Western order co-hosted by Eastern Rome, Western Rome, and the Arab Empire! British influence must be eliminated, and the European continent should be ruled by two Roman Augustus and two Roman Caesars. The Rakshasa Emperor and
Of course the King of France should become the Augustus of East and West Rome, and the King of Prussia and the Austrian Caesar should both become the Roman Caesars second only to Augustus!
As for Iraq, Syria, the coastal areas of the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, they should all belong to the Arab Empire founded by Ali Pasha.
If Nikolai Pavlovich really wanted to be the Augustus of the Eastern Roman restoration, then he should know that no Eastern Roman emperor would treat the Gauls, the Germanic barbarians and the Caesars who were even more barbaric than the Germanic barbarians.
What kind of representatives of civilization and progress do the Celts and Anglo-Saxons take?”
After all, the Rakshasa people are still Slavs. Although they claim to be the heirs of Rome, how can the real Romans kneel down and lick the Germans, Anglo-Saxons and French like the Rakshasa people?
"In addition," Zhuge Weidao added, "the railway from Daming to Rakshasa that passes through the territory of Jin Kingdom is the lifeline of Rakshasa, not ours. If Rakshasa Kingdom cannot conquer Constantinople in a short period of time,
Dimburg, then Nikolai Pavlovich and his empire need our support, but now the railway has only been built half way before it stopped!"
The two "rails" that passed through the territory of the Great Jin Kingdom were only half repaired and stopped there! As for the reason why the "rail" construction project was stopped, of course Nicholas I did not agree. The central area occupied by the Great Jin Kingdom
From the perspective of the Rakshasa Kingdom, Asia is the buffer zone between the Rakshasa and the Ming Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty is now building a railway, saying it is to support the Rakshasa, but has the Rakshasa asked the Ming Dynasty for help?
No!
Since there is no such thing, why is Daming so enthusiastic?
In fact, the main reason why Ming Dynasty was willing to spend so much money to build the Central Asia Railway was not to support the wooly bears. It was just incidental. The real purpose of Ming Dynasty was to turn Central Asia into its own resource collection and commodity sales place.
It is an inland area, far away from the coastline, and there are no waterways to the outside. Land transportation is also very inconvenient in the past. It can be said to be an almost closed economic circle.
Once Central Asia connects the Ming Dynasty and the Rakshasa State through railways, it will sooner or later be integrated into the Celestial Economic Circle ruled by the Ming Dynasty instead of going with the Rakshasa State. The reason is very simple. The scale of the Celestial Economic Circle is larger than that of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Twenty times!
Once Central Asia is economically integrated into the Chinese economic circle, it will be impossible for it to continue to play the role of a buffer zone between Rakshasa and Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the Jin Kingdom also showed strong combat effectiveness in the Battle of Peshawar, which also worried Nicholas I.
But compared with defeating Constantine and upgrading Rakshasa into Rome, Central Asia's gains and losses are really insignificant.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao said to his wife: "Please tell the Tsar that now is the best time for Rakshasa to become a Roman. Whether this can succeed depends on the Tsar's own determination and concentration!"
"Okay, I understand!" Natalie nodded, "I will definitely convey your words to Nikolai Pavlovich. If the black-haired Louis can arrive in Petersburg in time, then I will definitely convey the warship
I brought it back with the purchase contract.”
"Louis, let me tell you, now there is an opportunity to become the emperor of the Western Roman Empire, do you want to do it?"
Versailles, in the Grand Triana Palace, Francia's father Zhuge Weijiu was smiling and asking his godson Louis XVII a question that was easy to answer.
"No, I don't want to." Louis XVII immediately gave a negative reply.
"Don't want to? You said you don't want to? How can you not want to? You have been ambitious since you were a child!"
"Yes, I have wanted to restore the Bourbon dynasty since I was a child." Louis XVII said with a loyal smile. "Now I have done it. I am already King Louis XVII of France. I am very satisfied."
"Are you satisfied? But that's the Roman Emperor!" Zhuge Weijiu still refused to give up and continued to persuade, "You really don't want to?"
"I don't want to, really," Louis XVII said seriously, "Father, I really don't want to be the emperor of the Western Roman Empire. Because according to statistics, among the 69 rulers of the Western Roman Empire, only 24.8% died of natural causes, and the rest
All the Western Roman emperors died violent deaths!”
"But Nicholas I really wanted to be the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire!"
Louis XVII smiled and said: "Because only 30% of the emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire died unexpectedly, this number is even much smaller than the abnormal mortality rate of the Rakshasa Tsar."
"Well, then," Zhuge Weijiu said, "Then what do you want?"
"I want Algeria," Louis XVII said with a smile. "I also want to become the master of the Mediterranean after the power of the British Empire fades. I also want to take back Quebec. But I really don't want to be the Roman emperor. This position should still be given to Ferdinand of Austria."
Let’s go and be Nan Yi.”
You little fox!
Zhuge Weijiu looked at Louis XVII carefully and felt that he was not like Louis XVI at all, he was too cunning!
Thinking of this, he asked again: "What about the heroes? How many do you want? What configuration do you want? High configuration or top configuration?"
Louis XVII looked back at his brother, the black-haired Louis.
The Duke of Marseille smiled and said: "Father, France deserves the best. So, we don't want a high-end version or a top-end version. What we want is a customized version specially developed for the Mediterranean region! And our naval shipbuilding engineers also want it."
Participate in development projects to facilitate the localization and upgrade of this battleship in the future."
Zhuge Weijiu laughed: "You two have endured hardships and are really good at living. France is so lucky to have you! Well, I will let Lao Shi arrange it for you. Of course the price is also favorable.
.But little Louis, you have to help me visit the Rakshasa Kingdom!"
"Okay!" The Duke of Marseille nodded, "Father, do you want to persuade Nicholas I to give up cooperating with the British to develop battleships and choose Ming Dynasty's Hero class and Hero class?"
Zhuge Weijiu smiled and glanced at Louis XVII: "Children only do multiple-choice questions. Anyone who wants to be an emperor or a king must do it all! Louis, don't you think so?"
Louis XVII smiled and said: "Of course, of course, the British warship design also has great merits."
