C1021 The Russian Expeditionary Force made his move (2/2)

When Xiao Letian received the latest telegram, he jumped out of the hot spring excitedly, ”It's a taboo to raise an army out of anger, Alexander II is not that arrogant? This emperor who personally abolished serfdom is not an idiot. Why is he so impatient? ”

Xiao Letian paced back and forth in the Heaven's Tower, and after a while, the person in charge of the CIA, Wang Huaiyuan, ran up and greeted him while panting.

”Why am I asking you to consult Pierre so slowly?”

”Reporting to the Prime Minister, when I was coming over, I suddenly received a secret message from Prussia. Bismark's intelligence officer also noticed the movements of the Russian fleet, they reminded us that it is very possible that the Russian will send a fleet to enter the Atlantic Ocean as a drill soon …”

”Now, Prussia is collecting more detailed information. They will help us find the exact models of these 16 battleships in the future …”

Xiao Letian pondered for a moment, ”Why do I want to know? Alexander II is not a mediocre person! ”

”The railway, Pierre's analysis is still that great Siberian railway!” Wang Huaiyuan said excitedly: ”Alexander's father committed suicide after taking poison from the Crimean War. Although the Russia announced that he died from illness, all the countries in Europe knew that that was only the official explanation ….”

”The effects of that war on the Russia was simply too far-reaching. The Alexander II realized that although the Russia is huge, in terms of industry, technology and military systems, there is a huge gap between him and a true European power. That's why he has to carry out reforms …”

Xiao Letian smacked his forehead as many clues in his memory overlapped with the information in front of him. He laughed coldly, ”Right, right, Pierre is really a genius, why does he always have to hit the nail on the head? ”It really is for that huge railway …”

”The Crimean War and English and French have teamed up to teach Russia a lesson, whether it is the navy or the army, they are all defeated. Alexander is not an irascible person, he did not choose to avenge his father, but chose to live with fear …”

”At home he abolished serfdom and set up the Duma system, and he is even considering advancing the constitutional monarchy! Such a person would definitely not be impulsive due to anger. Now that he has made such a choice, it only means that our actions have already touched his core interests … ”

Xiao Letian laughed bitterly: ”His failure has let him know that the Russia's strategy cannot be put to the west. With the two countries of the English and French working together to squeeze out their living space, the Russia's army and navy are completely useless. ”Therefore, he only has one choice, which is to manage the East …”

”Suppressing the rebellion in the Caucasus, instigating Yaqub's rebellion in Xinjiang and then using the Second Opium War to eat up the Far East Region, all of these are the embodiments of the Russia's strategy of managing the east …”

”But if one wants to turn these new lands into wealth, it is not a simple matter. If one does not connect the vast lands with the railways, the wealth would only accumulate in the areas and would not be able to be transported to Europe. If one is not wrong, the Russia's finances are already in a serious crisis …”

”Alexander II definitely has no money on him! His treasury has dried up, and the East is his only hope! ”
