Struggle in Russia

In fact, Alexei was also a little nervous. Although he was relatively confident that Frederick I would not leave in a hurry, the world never lacked variables. What if?

What if this guy is a second-rate guy?

Alexey was a little nervous anyway, and his palms were all sweaty.

As for Vishnyak on the side, he was actually very nervous, but he was not the core figure in this conversation. The focus of Frederick I was not on his side, so he was slightly less stressed.

But when the expression on Friedrich I's face changed drastically, he was still sweating in his heart, and his heart was hanging in his throat, for fear that this guy would leave if he disagreed.

However, what Alexei and Vishniak were worried about did not happen. Although Frederick I was a bit impulsive, his many years of aristocratic lessons still gave him something in his mind.

At least let him know what he could and couldn't do. After hesitating for a few seconds between leaving and not leaving, he rationally chose to stay.

It's just that the person didn't leave, but his soul was obviously no longer in the body. He froze on the spot like a walking zombie, just like a wooden man.

Such a scene was somewhat beyond the expectations of Alexey and Vishnyak, because among so many people they had dealt with, none was like Friedrich I. Those who are more ruthless will just walk away, those who are more ruthless will just walk away with their mouths full of feces, and those who are more ruthless will immediately change their faces and admit defeat. People to whom nothing happens.

There is only one person like Friedrich I who neither leaves nor expresses his sincerity. He is probably the kind of fool who knows the trade-off between interests but can't let go of his figure and face.

Such fools generally have to be constantly beaten by the cruel reality of life before they wake up and know what to do. It's just that Friedrich I obviously didn't have that much time, let alone that many opportunities. He had to make a decision as soon as possible!

To be honest, both Alexey and Vishniak were worried about this guy, and this guy was pretending to be dumb and silent, but they couldn't. After all, they have shown enough strength, and then they must maintain this state and apply pressure. Otherwise, if the inconsistency is seen through, wouldn't their work be in vain?

Suddenly, the two of them felt a pain in their balls, because it seemed that it was inappropriate for anyone to speak, and what should they say?

At this critical moment, Vishnyak reacted quickly. He bowed to Alexey decisively and asked: "Sir, do I need to check more carefully?"

Alexei knew that Vishnyak was helping to smooth things over, and he continued to put pressure on Frederick I. He immediately paused and said: "Check carefully, otherwise some people will think that Wallachia is a soft persimmon and can be taken care of." It’s up to you!”

Vishniak immediately bowed, then walked out quickly. The moment he surpassed Friedrich I, the arrogant crown prince finally gave in. He held back a breath. He said in a depressed tone: "Earl, I think there must be a misunderstanding!"

After saying these words, he seemed to have been drained of energy, and his whole person was sluggish. The arrogance on his face was completely invisible, replaced by a deep sense of loss.

Alexey also breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a bit risky, he finally achieved his goal. I believe that Friedrich I will be much easier to deal with in the future.

"Wait a minute!" He pretended to stop Vishniak, and then asked Friedrich I: "You said there was a misunderstanding?"

Friedrich I nodded heavily, and replied very frustrated and unwillingly: "Yes, there is a huge misunderstanding!"

Alexei naturally waited for the next step, but Frederick I actually didn't think clearly about what he wanted to say. He just said these words subconsciously. As for what to do next, he had no idea at all.

So he once again froze on the spot and began to think hard about how to explain this problem.

Well, Alexey and Vishnyak were speechless when they met such tough opponents. Does such a simple thing need to be thought about for so long, does it need to be so entangled? At least the more powerful guys they had encountered dealt with this kind of situation as if they were having fun.

Well, in a sense, their judgment was accurate. Frederick I was indeed not a powerful person. He didn't leave any glorious achievements in history. The only thing that showed his face was that he married a pretty good wife. Other than that, there was really nothing else.

Although he is not a pretty boy, let alone a freeloader, his abilities are obviously limited, and he is still very young. He has never encountered such a difficult situation before, and it is normal to not know what to do.

It took him a while to come back to his senses and said slowly: "Earl, I think the most important thing at the moment is not to wonder where this misunderstanding came from, but to try to solve this misunderstanding in an appropriate way!"

This answer is really neither brilliant nor qualified. It has a bit of his personal style. It still sounds so proud. It doesn't sound like he is here to solve the problem, but rather like he is here to stir up trouble.

Fortunately, Alexei was not prepared to argue with him, otherwise Alexei would have to teach him a lesson if he spoke to him like this. It’s just that Alexey was ready to let him go, but Vishnyak would not tolerate him. He immediately pointed out:

"Your Highness, I think even if there is a misunderstanding, this misunderstanding was caused by you. As the person who created the misunderstanding, you didn't even say an apology to expose this matter. Are you fooling us into fools?"

Friedrich I was immediately shocked and speechless, and Alexey also realized that he really couldn't let this guy go so quickly. This guy was obviously a bitch, and he kept pushing and pulling back. , it has to be whipped.

"Your Highness," Alexei immediately followed up and added: "Although I would like to believe that all this is a so-called misunderstanding, I am indignant about these misunderstandings you have created... The Union Bank of Prussia enjoys a transcendent status in Wallachia. Routine special treatment, which has brought you millions in financial benefits, and instead of being grateful, you are trying to humiliate me."

After a short pause, he reprimanded sternly: "If it hadn't been for Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich always saying good things to you, and if it hadn't been for the traditional friendship between His Royal Highness Crown Prince William and us, I would have given it to you long ago. A profound lesson on basic courtesy!"
