Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

August only spent [-] million euros to acquire approximately [-] million square kilometers of land. What is the concept of this? France's mainland area is about [-] square kilometers, Britain's mainland area is about [-] square kilometers, and the unified Greater Germany is only more than [-] square kilometers. If we only count the mainland, the three European powers combined do not have Alaska. A state big.

Moreover, there is a large amount of Prussia's scarce oil and natural gas here. As long as this land can be preserved, it will definitely be Germany's largest oil-producing area in the future.

After solving this problem, Alexander II also signed a friendship treaty with Prussia on behalf of Tsarist Russia, and then chose to stay in the Winter Palace for a few more days in order to be able to accommodate August. wool.

August set his sights on the Azerbaijan region. To be precise, he set his sights on Baku. Baku is the largest oil-producing area in the world. It was the mustache's dreamland. Before the Soviet Union exhausted its fishing power, it was here. They are all the oiliest places in the world. Just these few thousand square kilometers of land contain more than half of the world's oil.

After Augustus discussed the purchase of Alaska with Alexander II, he hung out in the Winter Palace for a few days. Most of the time, he followed Alexander II to accompany him on sightseeing tours. Alexander II thought that Augustus was going to visit him at first. Gust just made a deal and left.

When he heard that August would stay here for a few more days, he was very happy. He also wanted to do a little manipulation and talk some earthy love words to see if he could turn August into his queen. , although it seems that there is such a big relationship between them, but it doesn't matter, I am happy, no matter what the flood will be after death,

Of course, Alexander II had a wife. Alexander II’s main wife was Maria Alexandrovna. Her father was Derwig II of Hesse and the Rhine, and her mother was Princess Wilhelmina of Baden. And isn't this a coincidence? These guys were all taken care of by August.

Of course, her life experience is not very pure. Some people say that she was actually the child of Wilhelmina and a lover. Alexander II ignored his damn objections back then. She looked like an old oily and smelled earthy all day long. Love words.

They say they really love you and will never bear the nonsense of rebellion, but they found a mistress within two days. As for their messy true love, it is indeed true love. It only lasts for three minutes. It's normal. When someone finds a more beautiful woman , then I really don’t love you anymore, unless you are Catherine the Great, then you don’t have to worry about it. If anyone dares to act coquettish, you can just slap them, or buckle them on the forehead and use them as a ball to kick.

As for the background, Alexander II also thought it was appropriate. It was extremely suitable. Although Auguste did not ascend the throne, she was basically the queen of Germany. The queen matched the tsar.

Alexander II: "It's so fitting!"

Tina: "This guy doesn't look like he wants to live. I'll do it for you sooner or later!"

Forget about Alexander II's yy. Of course Augustus couldn't have stayed because of Alexander II. Doesn't Auguste know what kind of virtue he had? Who wants to marry such a guy?

Although she found Alexander II very annoying, August could only tolerate it a little. After all, compared to her goals, these things were not a problem.

August drew a pie with Alexander II, which probably means that I am very satisfied with Tsarist Russia now. I think Tsarist Russia has rich people, strong people, and a vast territory. How about you cut some more land for me? You see, No, how nice would it be to cede Baku in the Caucasus to me? right?

Alexander II said that you really know how to ask for it. Did Baku give it to you just as he said it would? What are you doing with so many enclaves? Moreover, Baku is within Tsarist Russia, why don’t you take away the entire Azerbaijan? Making trouble, right?

August said what you said seemed very reasonable, "I have always thought that the Tsar was very wise and mighty. How about ceding all of Azerbaijan to Prussia? I will give you a place when I look for a bride."

Alexander II: "I believe you!"

August tortured Alexander II for five or six days, but Alexander II still said that it was not feasible. Alexander II did not know what August wanted to do, and he did not know the importance of Baku. , the things that oil can do in this era are very limited, especially for Tsarist Russia. They have not even understood the first industrial revolution. There are only a few steam boilers in the country. Oil is not that big to them. meaning.

August had no choice but to say that there were things here that Prussia needed but Tsarist Russia didn't need. Since Tsarist Russia didn't want to sell them, August wouldn't force them. Prussia could just spend some money to rent Baku. Rent it until Prussia doesn't want to rent it anymore, and the price is good.

Alexander II became interested. He would definitely not sell the territory under his eyes, but it was hard to say now. The Russian Empire was indeed short of money, and its finances were almost exhausted. So if Prussia gave If the price is right, then he is willing to do this business.

When it came to money, August knew that Alexander II must not be very good at making money. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has proved to us that the common people have inexhaustible supplies. You are thinking about collecting them every day. That little bit of tax is of no use. It has to be taken out of the hands of the people from various places to make it useful, so that they can throw away their money without knowing what is going on, so that they will not cause trouble.

Because you can't find a reason, you have no reason to rebel. Tsarist Russia is full of rebels because the taxes are too high. The government is obviously trying to make you die. People have reasons to rebel against you. You should lower the taxes. , and then increase consumption tax and income tax, will it be fun?

August expressed that he was very disappointed with Alexander II, but August was still very interesting in Baku. Alexander II had the final say on how much to pay, and August would negotiate the price later. As a result, Alexander II He didn't know what use this place would have to Prussia, so he paid a very good price.

"If you want to rent in Baku, that's fine! It's a flat price, but you have to have three hundred thousand rubles a year, right?"

Just as he finished saying this, August held Alexander II's hand and said, "That's right, brother. I think the price is very suitable. Sign the contract immediately, don't regret it!"

Everyone in Alexander II was confused. What's wrong? What treasures are there in these places? August’s continuous confusing behavior made Alexander II even wonder what was happening in Europe? Is it because I can’t keep up with the version?

Maybe Alexander II found August's operation confusing, but in August's eyes, Alexander II's operation was confusing. He successively gave all the two largest oil-producing areas to Prussia, although Baku was only renting Yes, but the oil dug out is really Prussian, so will this bring Baku's bottom?

The old beauty is actually me?
