Struggle in Russia

Viscount Prozolov finally understood that if Grand Duke Constantine could not be informed of the seriousness of the matter, the prince, who had high self-esteem and was confused about the situation, would remain stubborn until the end.

He's a guy who refuses to take the easy way. He won't move while being pushed backwards, and he has to be beaten with a whip before he can move forward obediently.

Sure enough, Grand Duke Constantine became anxious only after Viscount Prozolov announced that he was going to leave. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem and said quickly: "Viscount, don't be excited. If you have something to discuss, don't be impulsive!"

Viscount Prozolov raised his head and glanced at him, and replied slowly and heavily: "Your Highness, I am not acting out of emotion, but I cannot bear to see you go further and further down the wrong path. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. We Only by being ruthless can a strong man survive, otherwise even if I stay, I won't be able to change anything!"

Grand Duke Constantine was stunned. He did not expect Viscount Prozolov to be so pessimistic about the future. He always thought that although the situation was a bit bad, he was the prince after all, and no one could really do anything to him. Even if he didn't bow to some people, he would still have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

But Viscount Prozolov directly shattered his illusions and told him that there was no future. If he didn't save himself quickly, time would really be running out!

Grand Duke Constantine asked with great difficulty: "Is there really no other way?"

Viscount Prozolov said nothing, just shook his head silently, and suddenly Grand Duke Constantine collapsed like a deflated ball.

After a long while, he murmured: "Okay, since there is no other way, let's do as you say!"

Only then did Viscount Prozolov let out a sigh of relief. He had been extremely nervous just now, fearing that Grand Duke Constantine would be stubborn and stubborn, and that would be the end of him.

To be honest, although he was extremely dissatisfied with some of Archduke Constantine's practices and decisions, he had no idea of ​​changing his master yet. After all, he had finally gained the other party's trust and achieved his current status. If he changed his master, he would have to start over. What's more, there is probably no better master in Russia than Grand Duke Constantine, unless Nicholas I or Alexander The crown prince wants him, otherwise Grand Duke Constantine is really the best choice.

Of course, Viscount Prozolov also knew that although Grand Duke Constantine reluctantly agreed and chose to submit, he was probably very angry with his arrogant character, so he only nodded reluctantly due to the situation.

Once his situation improves, today's account will definitely be settled. Although most of this account is placed on Alexei and Li Xiao, Viscount Prozolov knows that he is more or less The young man has been penalized several times, and he will definitely be punished when the time comes.

But he can't control that much for the time being. If he can't pass this level, nothing will happen next. Let's take one step at a time!

Soon Li Xiao and Alexei learned from Duke Mikhail that Grand Duke Constantine had decided to accept the conditions. Although the Grand Duke only showed up when discussing the specific strategy and how to implement the conditions later, the details were not clear. The affairs were all handed over to Viscount Prozolov, but for Li Xiao and Alexey, this was better. They actually didn’t like dealing with Grand Duke Constantine, because you don’t know when that guy will He will have convulsions and fly out to make people sick.

"Do you really want to help him suppress the rebellion?"

Even though the cooperation plan had been finalized, Alexey still felt a bit magical. After all, Grand Duke Constantine kept causing trouble for them before, causing them a lot of headaches.

In the blink of an eye, you have to help him solve his existential crisis. Isn't this too repaying kindness with evil?

Li Xiao knew what Alexey wanted to say, and he replied slowly: "It seems that helping him is not a bad thing for the time being. First of all, we can obtain a large amount of funds through this, which is very necessary to ease our economic situation."

"In addition, the rebellion in Moldavia this time is obviously caused by Count Uvarov and his gang. You should know what kind of character that old fox is. Messing up Moldavia and bringing down Grand Duke Constantine is by no means his ultimate goal. Purpose!"

"Kostya fell. I'm afraid it will be our turn next. Just think about it, with the help of those devils and monsters in Moldavia, our backyard will be in chaos. At that time, there were the British, French and Turkish coalition forces in the front, and those bastards in the back. It’s too dangerous to cause trouble!”

Alexei nodded silently, these reasons were very good, whether it was money or the overall situation, it was important. Although the bastard Grand Duke Constantine will definitely not make people worry at this moment, he is still easier to deal with than Count Uvarov.

It's the lesser of two evils, not to mention the mess in Moldavia. Even if Archduke Constantine wanted to do evil, he would still be unable to do so.

"One thing I'm curious about is why you suggested that General Dmitry Milyutin be put in charge of counterinsurgency?"

Li Xiao sighed slowly and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. We don't have a general who can command the troops at all. We can't let Leonid command such a major operation, right?"

Alexey was stunned for a moment, because he really had this idea. He felt that the rebellion in Moldavia was not a big problem and it was not difficult to solve. With their strength, they could completely crush the rebels.

Just let Leonid gain a wave of experience and be gilded. On the one hand, he can reciprocate and bring them closer to Duke Mikhail. On the other hand, it can also ease the tense relationship between them and Leonid.

"The rebellion in Moldavia is not as simple as you think!" Li Xiao said seriously, "Those rebels are by no means a mob. Look at how they dealt with Kostya and how they defeated him step by step. Don’t underestimate those who are cornered, otherwise we will follow in Kostya’s footsteps!”

"Leonid is by no means the most suitable commander. He does not understand what this rebellion is about, nor does he know that our enemies are not just a few Moldavia local snakes, and Dmitri The general is different. First of all, he has rich experience in fighting large corps and knows the inside story, so you can rest assured if he is in command!"

Alexey actually wanted to help Leonid fight for it, but Li Xiao's last words gave him away: "Duke Mikhail and I have already discussed this issue, and the Duke also thinks that Dmitry He is the most suitable candidate, and Leonid can only help him!"

Since even Duke Mikhail agreed, Alexey naturally had nothing to say, but he still thought that taking things so seriously was a bit overkill!
