War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

As soon as Grigory finished speaking, he heard someone clapping and laughing.

"Well said! I'm so moved that I almost cry! You are worthy of being Grand Duke Jika. You are really a villain who will never repent even after death!"

Grigory and Kuza were both very surprised, because the person in front of them was Grigory's most important adviser Mileakov. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the prime minister of Moldavia.

"Mileakov, how can you say that? Have you forgotten our Romanians' dreams?"

How could Grigore not know what the other party was going to do at this time?

"What compatriots? We are Moldavians! They are Transylvanians. We all have our own land and our own lives. Why do we have to force ourselves to merge together?

Just as the Danube and the Mures River will never flow backwards, the Orthodox churches on the eastern foothills of the Carpathian Mountains and the Catholic churches on the western foothills are destined to ring different bells!

We are born Moldavia, not Transylvanian! You are the traitor who has committed a treasonous act! You have betrayed Moldavia! You are not worthy of being our Grand Duke! "

"I am the chosen one!"

"Bah! You're just a puppet put up by the Ottomans and Russians!"

"You are wrong! I am the liberator of the Romanian nation!"

"Liberation! Has the slavery and serfdom in the country changed at all since you came to power? You are just a feudal lord who wants to expand his territory and have more serfs!

Don't talk so high-soundingly! Your words make me sick!"

"Bold! Guards, capture this traitor!"

Grigory roared, but the guards remained indifferent.

Mileakov shrugged and smiled.

"I told you you're an idiot! Someone come here!"

"exist!"

The guards responded in unison.

"Grand Duke Ghika is tired, so take him back to his bedroom. As for Count Cuza, take him to the square, whether he lives or dies."

Seeing that the guards were about to take action, Grigory immediately called out the names of several of his most trusted servants.

"Ivan! Dmitri! Sergei!"

What he got was a burst of ridicule from Mileyakov.

"Stop yelling, it's really ugly. Those who were loyal to you have long been dead. The fact that I can stand here and give orders is the best proof of that.

What are you waiting for? Get started! "

Grigory Alexandru Ghika was no ordinary person. The moment he received the news, he had already thought of a countermeasure and made what he thought was the most correct decision.

But in the end, Gregory's order never got out of the palace. After all, Franz had been planning for this day for too long.

Gregory was surrounded by spies planted by Franz. The current situation could only be blamed on the former's acceptance of the so-called Transylvanian refugees.

It was easy for Franz to plant spies among the exiles, but it was extremely difficult for Grigory to identify them.

After all, Grigore himself couldn't tell who the so-called Romanians were.

Mileakov actually lied. His control over Moldavia was not as strong as he said. Being able to control the royal palace was just an advantage of having the first move.

Grigore's confidants were not really killed, they were just led away or temporarily controlled. But it was not easy for them to return to Grigore, after all, it was a deliberate plan.

After all, Grigore, the Grand Duke of Moldavia, was just a product of compromise between the Ottoman Empire and Russia, but Russia still had to give him face no matter what.

Franz had no intention of executing Grigory Alexandru Ghika, and even allowed his family to live in the palace.

However, the personnel in the palace had to be replaced, and the entire palace would be under the protection of the Austrian Imperial Military.

In fact, as long as the Russian side opens its mouth, Franz will hand it over to the Russians without hesitation.

As for Alexandru Ion Cuza, he had to die. He was charged with so many crimes. After all, he had participated in the Transylvanian riots and even used his special identity to kill officials and nobles loyal to the Austrian Empire.

In the future, it was he who facilitated the merger of Wallachia and Moldavia. At this time, Count Cuza was still the main person in charge of contacting Romanianists in various places under Grigore.

In addition, Count Cuza was quite hostile to the Austrian Empire. He believed that the Austrian Empire was the biggest obstacle to the unification of Greater Romania. Franz could not find any reason not to kill him.

After Count Cuza was executed, the Austrian Empire officials would announce his crimes, including crimes committed within the Austrian Empire, collusion with the Ottomans, extortion, and a series of crimes that the people loved to hear about.

Officials of the Austrian Empire would announce that the Cuza family's property and lands would be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to compensate the victims.

Franz believed that the Moldavians in Iasi would be very enthusiastic in reporting Alexandru Ion Cuza's daily evil deeds.

These evil deeds will be exposed to the public, and the victims will be compensated.

At this time, more than 90% of Moldavia's population lived in rural areas, the illiteracy rate was as high as 95%, and the country was often occupied by other countries and other ethnic groups.

The arrival of the Austrian Empire did not cause much waves, and most people accepted it very calmly.

Some smart nobles and peasants have begun to curry favor with the temporary officials sent by the Austrian Empire to the local area, and some even plan to recommend themselves.

Only some nobles and landlords who were not good at doing good deeds in their daily lives were trembling in fear. After all, the Austrian Empire's Great Trial in Hungary was well-known far and wide.

Although the trial was highly political, it objectively upheld justice.

Some people hate it, some people enjoy it. Some people are fanatical about it and worship Franz as a god, while others have mixed feelings and worry about the future and fate of the country.
