Struggle in Russia

Dmitry thought over and over again, and decided to remind Pobedonostsev to pay attention to Paskovich, and not let this old Qiuba ruin the big event!

"The commander-in-chief is likely to use his personal relationship to make this suggestion to His Majesty." Dmitry said calmly and without any emotion.

Pobedonostsev was taken aback, stared at Dmitri in surprise for a long time, and then slowly said: "I know!"

I know this is a bit intriguing. Dmitry thought for a while and thought what Pobedonostsev meant: I know, but I can't do anything.

This result did not surprise Dmitry, because anyone who knew Nicholas I knew how crazy and paranoid the Tsar was. It's just Paskovich's status and his personal relationship with Nicholas I. If he wants to give advice to Nicholas I in private, no one can stop him.

As for opposing Paskovich's proposal at the imperial meeting, to be honest, Pobedonostsev was not even qualified to attend the imperial meeting, let alone object. The only thing he can do is to talk to Crown Prince Alexander and ask the Crown Prince to stop Paskovich or persuade Nicholas I.

It's just that these two possibilities are too small. Crown Prince Alexander could neither stop Paskovich nor convince Nicholas I. He would only ask for trouble if he said these things.

It is not Pobedonostsev's sort of thing to make a suggestion that the crown prince would find himself boring. So he simply told Dmitry I know but I will do nothing.

This attitude is a bit disappointing, but Demirit's reaction was not particularly violent, because it was normal, and Pobedonostsev did not lie, neither he nor Crown Prince Alexander's influence is too limited, There is no way to stop it.

It's just that Dmitry is still disappointed, because it is a rare quality to do something knowing that it can't be done. You can't stop loving her because Russia is conservative, barbaric and backward, right? After all, this is the motherland!

For Dmitry, patriotism or dissuading the king from doing the right thing is his responsibility and obligation, and he must do it. Even if you can't get it right, you have to do it!

Pobedonostsev had been observing Dmitry's expression, so he could naturally guess what he wanted to do. He felt that it was really unnecessary and a waste of time. No good at all.

But he can also understand why Dmitry is so persistent, that is, Paskovich's suggestion is really cheating, even if he is a military layman, he can see that the risk is too high, and if he fails, tens of thousands of Russian troops will be sent Push into the fire pit!

How many hundred thousand people can be sacrificed at will in Russia? Originally, the strength of the army was stretched.

If 100,000 people are killed all at once, the pressure on the battlefield will be even greater, not to mention the international influence is also very bad.

Once countries find that Russia is not invincible, and even Turkey can wipe out 100,000 Russian troops, then there is nothing to be afraid of, just increase investment and kill the Russians!

In recent years, it is clear how much Russia has hated Pobedonostsev internationally. Once Russia is in trouble, a bunch of people will definitely fall into trouble, and the sky will collapse at that time!

Of course, he is not happy to see such a result, but he still thinks that Paskovich and Nicholas I are stubborn asses and cannot be persuaded at all. Instead of making fun of himself, it is better to think about how to turn bad things into good things !

Please note that Pobedonostsev's so-called turning a bad thing into a good thing is not trying to eliminate the bad influence of Paskovich's possible fiasco, but trying to use this fiasco to make a fuss and help Crown Prince Alexander and their factions seek greater power.

This is the biggest difference between Pobedonostsev and Dmitry. The former always prioritizes the interests of small groups, while the latter considers Russia's overall interests more.

The gap between the two sides in terms of structure is not a little bit, so Dmitry can be considered great, while Crown Prince Alexander and Pobedonostsev are very reluctant.

After bidding farewell to Pobedonostsev, Dmitry immediately found Li Xiao and Alexei. He also knew that he was a soft-spoken person, and his voice alone was too small to stop Paskovich. , Only by finding more friends and everyone speaking out together can it be possible to stop that old Qiuba.

It's just that Li Xiao immediately poured cold water on him: "We already know what you said, and we are also firmly opposed to Mrs. Paskovich's military adventure."

"It's just that even if we object, we may not be able to stop him. As far as I know, he has formally proposed the plan to His Majesty, and plans to deploy 30,000 naval infantry from the Black Sea Fleet to conduct an amphibious operation with the 80,000 army."

Dmitry was dumbfounded. He thought that Paskovich had a sudden idea after hearing what Pobedonostsev said, but from Li Xiao's point of view, that old Qiu Ba had already put out a full-scale battle. The plans and plans have probably been reported to Nicholas I!

This is troublesome!

Because it was just an idea, he could rush forward to argue and tell Paskovich that it was impossible.

But they have even come up with a battle plan, so they are ready to go! I won't beep beep with you at all!

"When did it happen?" Dmitry asked sullenly.

Li Xiao smiled wryly: "It's just these two days, Duke Mikhail told us just now, I'm afraid that old Qiu Ba has been planning for a long time!"

Dmitry suddenly realized, thinking that what Li Xiao said was right, Paskovich should have planned it for a long time, and it was definitely not a temporary idea.

It's normal to think about it, but as the commander-in-chief, he has no command authority, and can only be a senior military supervisor. For him who is proud and arrogant, this is definitely unacceptable.

Even if he knew that this was Nicholas I's arrangement, he would definitely be upset, and would try to do some actions to prove his existence.

And this amphibious operation plan is very suitable for his taste. First of all, it is an offensive operation, which is completely different from the defensive operation that Duke Mikhail insisted on recently. It can be shown that he is completely different from Prince Mikhail.

Secondly, the scale of the battle is only about 100,000 people, but if it succeeds, the effect will be difficult to estimate. It can be regarded as small and big, if he really succeeded, it would be like slapping Duke Mikhail in the face, telling the world that Paskovich is the number one Russian god of war.

"What now?" Dmitry asked sullenly.

Li Xiao and Alexei looked at each other. To be honest, they were unprepared for this. They never thought that Paskovich would make such a move. What can they do in this short period of time?
