Struggle in Russia

When Duke Mikhail talked with Grand Duke Constantine, he was surprised, depressed and a little sore.

Why are the Duke's emotions so complicated?

Quite simply, he was surprised that Grand Duke Constantine would ask him for help. You must know that he was not close to the Grand Duke, and he did not have much friendship before. Normally, the other party should not ask him for help.

But Grand Duke Constantine just came to the door, and even offered a price that made Duke Mikhail very tempted. He knew that as long as he nodded, Moldavia would almost be on his dining table.

And this was the most depressing thing for him, because although the money was attractive, he knew that if he really accepted Grand Duke Constantine's kindness, he might not be able to live in the future!

Why do you say that?

Because anyone with no brain problems and no blind eyes can see that the future tsar must be Crown Prince Alexander. The relationship between the crown prince and Grand Duke Constantine was complicated and bad.

If you accept Grand Duke Constantine's good intentions at this time, it will be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Crown Prince Alexander. In this way, after Crown Prince Alexander ascends the throne, will you be able to enjoy good fruits?

So the benefits are big enough and there are enough benefits, but Duke Mikhail really doesn’t dare to eat it. Is there anything more depressing than being able to see it but not being able to eat it?

As for the pain in the ass, it’s because Duke Mikhail thinks that Grand Duke Constantine is really a talented person. He obviously has a good hand but plays like this. What kind of brain-dead man is this!

And it is precisely because of his stupidity that the war on his side is not smooth. Although the supply in Moldavia is not smooth, it is only a secondary reason, but if the road there is smoother, some key nodes may be opened up. Not to say that the situation is completely different, but at least it won't be as passive as it is now.

When he thought that it was Grand Duke Constantine who caused this series of troubles, Duke Mikhail hated him. But it happens that he is the Grand Duke, and the local gangsters in Moldavia are indeed making trouble. They dare to plan to gain greater autonomy. What does this mean? Do you really want to rebel?

Duke Mikhail knew very well Nicholas I's attitude towards the rebels. Look at how he dealt with Poland. Even though the so-called reforms carried out by Grand Duke Constantine were indeed a bit excessive, for Nicholas I, this was by no means a reason to rebel.

So he must be focused on suppressing it now and will never allow the Moldavia to jump up and down and continue to do whatever they want. At this time, anyone who turns a blind eye to countering the rebellion or even delays it is committing a heinous crime.

Especially for military giants like Duke Mikhail, who is closest to Moldavia and also has counter-insurgency capabilities, he must show positive performance, otherwise it will be politically incorrect and condone the rebels.

In short, Duke Mikhail must do something to show off, but he can't do it too actively, because that will offend Crown Prince Alexander. Look at what this is called. Do you think he can do it without getting hurt? ?

After thinking again and again, Duke Mikhail replied: "Your Highness, I am also very concerned about Moldavia being ravaged by rebel bandits. However, the Turkish offensive has been very fierce in recent times. I am really nervous and I am afraid I can't take it out." Send troops to assist you in suppressing the rebellion."

Grand Duke Constantine's face suddenly collapsed, because he felt that he was still very sincere and his posture was at the lowest level, almost asking Duke Mikhail in a lowly manner.

This doesn’t even give you face, so what else is there to say!

Anyway, he was quite angry. He felt that Viscount Prozolov gave him a bad idea and made him lose all face.

Just when Grand Duke Constantine was about to leave, Duke Mikhail suddenly said: "But leaving the rebels alone is not an option. Moldavia is the most important logistics supply channel and base for our army. Its Any changes will directly affect the course of the war."

A little hope suddenly emerged in Grand Duke Constantine's heart. He thought that Duke Mikhail was suppressing first and then rising. He wanted to say something immediately, but Duke Mikhail stretched out his hand to stop him.

"But my troops are really tight here and I can't mobilize any manpower. So, let me ask Count Speransky and General Dmitry Milyutin to see if there are still Wallachian garrison troops and national troops. Yuli, how about it?"

Grand Duke Constantine was dumbfounded. He had never expected that Duke Mikhail would give such a suggestion. Judging from what he meant, he was planning to have Wallachia send troops to help suppress the rebellion. Why was this suggestion so... so... Where's the pain in your balls?

Yes, now it's Grand Duke Constantine's turn to feel pain. His relationship with Alexei and Li Xiao is a mess. You said the relationship was particularly bad. Yes, the two sides dug holes in each other not only once or twice, but he always wanted to cheat each other in his dreams.

But, every time he dug a hole, he was always the one who got cheated, which made him hate those two people even more. However, Grand Duke Constantine had to admit that sometimes there was a basis for cooperation between the two parties.

If Wallachia is willing to help him, he is also willing to pay some price and cede some benefits. But it is impossible to expect him to please Alexey and Li Xiao like he did to Duke Mikhail.

Even if these two people could do something that Duke Mikhail couldn't do, he still believed that the other party could get as much benefit as Duke Mikhail.

This is the reason why Grand Duke Constantine has always been at odds with Li Xiao and Alexei. He completely depends on what others choose, and the effort is obviously the same, but he can willingly give Moldavia to Duke Mikhail with both hands and let him pick it. But if it was Li Xiao and Alexey, they could only eat the scraps, and even this he felt that he was at a disadvantage.

It is conceivable that Li Xiao and Alexei will definitely not recognize what Grand Duke Constantine said. Who do you think you are? You have to act like you are asking for help. Why do you think you are an uncle when you act like this? What's there to be ashamed of?

It is conceivable that the first meeting between the two sides was not particularly pleasant. Grand Duke Constantine was trying to make excuses, but Li Xiao and Alexei did not accept his words at all. Anyway, it was Moldavia that was in chaos. It's not them who are burning their butts. If you want to complain, then just be poor. We don't owe you anything. What's more, Moldavia is still a quagmire. If you step in, you won't be able to eat anything, but you will be embarrassed!

"Your Highness, if you have this attitude, then there is really nothing I can do!" Duke Mikhail also laughed angrily at Grand Duke Constantine's mysterious operation. He could only speak clearly to let someone know how serious the reality is. So heartless...
