Although Schwarzenberg was angry, although he couldn't fight back directly, it didn't mean that he would be soft-spoken. He had also had enough of being useless during this time, and he was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent it. This time, he felt that Duke Alexander He came to the door, and obviously he was going to be ripped off by the Russians again, so he was naturally even more upset.

I also feel that the Russian is doomed to cheat anyway, and naturally he won't fall out with him if he cheats, so it's better to go back after the addiction, and it doesn't seem so embarrassing.

"Yes, then I must take a good look at the performance of your investigation team and see how impressive your investigation team's performance is. I hope you don't let me down!"

This level of talk is just a drizzle for Duke Alexander, and he doesn't even bother to vent his anger, not to mention that he didn't come here today to argue with Schwarzenberg, he came to deal with business.

So he changed the topic, and he got to the point: "Your Excellency, I have heard some very bad rumors recently. It is reported that a considerable number of Serbs have been severely abused in Austria. You know it well, my emperor. Your Majesty is very concerned about the living conditions of the Slavic brothers, and these worrying rumors make him sleepless. Can your excellency tell me whether these rumors are true!"

Schwarzenberg was confused, he didn't understand what Duke Alexander was talking about, because he had never heard any rumors about the Serbs, and of course he didn't care much even if there were. Because the Serbs are also a big trouble for Austria. These pagans who believe in the Orthodox Church have never been loyal subjects of Austria and Habsburg, and they are always holding back trouble.

Take this Hungarian uprising as an example. If it weren’t for them and the Hungarians who couldn’t urinate in the same pot, I’m afraid they would also be the thorns who took the lead in making trouble. In order to temporarily appease them, the empire has been forced to give them considerable freedom. Not enough?

But Schwarzenberg also knew that when Duke Alexander talked about the issue of Serbia, the Russian must be making a fuss about it, but he was a little uncertain about what the Russian wanted to do.

[Is this going to fight for more extraordinary autonomy for the Serbs in the empire? 】

[This kind of condition is too much, it is impossible for the Russians not to know that it is impossible for the empire to agree to such absurd conditions. If the Serbs were given more autonomy, what about the Croats? Do you want to give them too? Then there are the Wallachians in Transylvania. Will these bastards follow suit? 】

Schwarzenberg knew that this hole could not be opened at all, otherwise it would be a waste of concessions!

But he had to answer Duke Alexander's question, so he could only tentatively ask: "The Serbs have been abused? Where did this start?

Your Excellency, you are very clear that the empire has reached an agreement with them, giving them a high degree of autonomy, fully respecting and protecting their legal rights! "

Then Schwarzenberg spread his hands and said, "So what you said must be some false rumors or gossip. I can't explain to you the rumors that don't exist at all?"

Duke Alexander smiled calmly and said, "Gossip and gossip?" As he spoke, he took out a newspaper from his pocket, spread it out and handed it to Schwarzenberg: "In other words, these are Is it fake?"

Schwarzenberg took the newspaper suspiciously and looked at it, then his expression changed immediately. There was no shocking breaking news in the newspaper, but a story was described in an understatement. The protagonist of the story is a poor Serbian youth named Pantrich, who lived in Varaždin in the south of Hungary. Before the revolution broke out in 1848, his life could not be said to be very good, but his family was also regarded as With a few acres of thin land, I can get enough food and clothing.

But after the revolution broke out, the situation was completely different. At first, when the Hungarians called on them to resist the tyranny of Austria, Pantridge, like other passionate youths, actively responded to the call of the revolution and took their own simple weapons and went to the battlefield .

But things changed so unexpectedly. Hungary quickly broke up with Serbia. After refusing to grant the Serbs autonomy, the Serbs in Hungary rejoined the Habsburg family. After all, the conditions given by the Austrians Even better, it doesn't make sense to mess with Hungary, doesn't it?

Then Pantridge became a member of the self-defense army in his hometown to resist the Hungarian "rebels". It should be said that the Serbs are still working very hard. The attempt to make Hungary pacify the south has not been realized, which greatly restrained the Hungarians. energy.

Later, in a battle, Pantridge was unfortunately injured and lost a leg, so he could only retire and return to his hometown sadly. Ordinarily, this man also shed blood for Austria, so he can be regarded as a hero, but to his surprise, when he returned to his hometown and was about to become a farmer again, he found that his field had been occupied by others.

His house and land were occupied by the Croats, who not only refused to return them, but also beat him up. He was so angry and anxious that he could only go to his superiors to ask for an explanation, but whether it was in Varaždin or in Vienna , none of the officials answered him. At first, he explained a few words that he knew about this matter and would investigate slowly, but then there was no news, and Pantridge asked too diligently, which made the officials annoyed him. Very annoying.

Finally, on that day, when Pantridge continued to speak, the officials were furious, beat him up, and put him in prison as a traitor, and he was locked up for several months before being released. .

Obviously, Pantridge absolutely couldn't figure out why he had to fight for the Habsburg family in the end, and was even persecuted. How could this be tolerated. So angry, he stabbed the matter in the newspaper, and then Duke Alexander saw it.

"Can you explain to me, your Excellency, why there is such a tragedy as Mr. Pantridge? Not only does your country show no mercy to the disabled veteran, but it even took away the property he was able to survive. This is Hongguoguo's robbery , is an unforgivable atrocity!"

Schwarzenberg was a little confused, because he really didn't know about this matter, and even if he knew it now, he didn't particularly care about it, because he really didn't care about the life and death of the Serbs, and even thought this report was a lie with ulterior motives!

"Your Excellency the Duke!" he replied solemnly, "I think you are making a big deal out of a molehill. The newspapers are obviously fabricated. You also know that after the Hungarian riots, they were very good at fabricating stories to attack us. It was just an elaborate lie!"
