Struggle in Russia

Nesselrode fainted out of breath, because he never expected Paskovich to be such a rascal. He didn't deal with his trick at all, but kicked the problem back to him instead.

Will the Habsburg family gossip and slander and attack Nicholas I? Paskovich said, "Yes!" But there was a solution, and what? His answer was: "Ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! That's what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does!"

Is there a problem with this? Really, there is no problem at all. Isn’t that what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does? If there are no problems, disputes, or disputes between countries, then what is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs doing? It would be better to raise a few good dogs to guard the house!

But this is very unfriendly to Nesselrode. According to Paskovich, it is the duty of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to persuade and clarify the work. If it is not done well, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What's the point?

[Why did you let Lao Tzu's Ministry of Foreign Affairs wipe your ass for the shitty things you did! I don't do it! 】

Just as Nesselrode was about to refute, when he looked up, he saw Nicholas I looking at Paskovich with joy on his face. Obviously, this sentence reached his heart, and Nicholas I agreed with it. Paskovich's opinion!

This is very bad for Nesselrode, and he jumped out to object at this time, which must have no good fruit. It will make Nicholas I feel that he and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are very incompetent, otherwise why can't such a small matter be done well?

So at this time, don't go to the hard top, you can only win by sideways attack!

As soon as Nesselrode rolled his eyes, he thought of it, and he immediately suggested: "Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will go all out to complete every task assigned by His Majesty. We have the confidence and ability to do so! But... "

"However, such meticulous work requires a lot of time, and it is difficult to achieve the desired effect quickly in a hurry. I personally beseech you, Your Majesty, to give me more time for preparation, so that we can fully consider all aspects and achieve the best results." Effect!"

How else can I say that Nesselrode is cunning and cunning! He is cunning and cunning here. On the surface, it seems that he is using delaying tactics, and he is going to use the grinder to drag the time away. Then, as the situation in Austria worsens, Nicholas I will be interested in Wallachia at that time. It also had to first maintain the existence of the Holy Alliance.

But please be careful, this is just a trick to deceive Paskovich into taking the bait, and the old illiterate Paskovich has his IQ, so he was fooled immediately as expected.

"Prime Minister, the situation is severe now, how can we have so much time? We must act decisively! Do what we should do as quickly as possible! No delay!"

Nesselrode secretly laughed in his heart: 【Old thing,

You have been fooled! 】

Then he immediately replied: "If action must be taken immediately, there may be omissions and negligence, which may cause unknowable adverse effects!"

See, the meaning of this guy is very simple. Let our foreign affairs department put pressure on Austria. Due to time constraints and insufficient preparation, there may be omissions, so the result may not be ideal. When the time comes, the Habsburg family will gossip and gossip. That is not the fault of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Blame Paskovich and these big bastards, it's all because of their impatience!

This is still the first level of meaning, and the second level of meaning is naturally to do the work of Nicholas I, which is to say: "Your Majesty, it is not safe to do this, and it may damage your reputation, let's stop doing it! "

Nesselrode's combo boxing is really powerful, he unknowingly neutralized Paskovich's sharp attack just now, it is a model of using softness to overcome rigidity. Anyway, he himself was a little proud, and he glanced at Paskovich, with obvious contempt and ridicule.

It's just that Nesselrode laughed a little too early. Paskovich is a big boss, and it's a bit strange to fall into his tricks. After all, there is an IQ crush. But there were not only Paskovich, a big bastard, but also Nicholas I present!

As a monarch with the highest desire for power and political means in Russia's history, what kind of bureaucrats has he never seen? How come he doesn't know the bureaucrat's tricks? He just needs to take a closer look to know what Nesselrode is trying to do!

Yes, Nicholas I really wanted face, and he was also a model of dying for face. But that doesn't mean he's stupid! The translation of Nesselrode's words just now actually means that bureaucrats used to shirk and don't want to do things. To put it bluntly, he just didn't want to do it, so he deliberately emphasized the difficulties.

Immediately, Nicholas I was upset. He didn't feel deeply about what Paskovich said about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before, and he didn't think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was really as worthless as Paskovich said.

But now, Nesselrode's excuse is that he doesn't want to put pressure on Austria, which made Nicholas I recall a bit: [You just don't want to do it! Just don't follow orders! Otherwise, what are you making so many excuses for? If you really agree that you want to do it, you will definitely do it first. Instead of emphasizing the difficulty! 】

Immediately, Nicholas I looked at Nesselrode in the wrong way. What he hated most was his courtiers perfunctory and contradicting himself. Now Nesselrode is both perfunctory and contradicting. Although the latter is not obvious, it Obviously Nesselrode just didn't want to put pressure on Austria! How can this be tolerated! Take him!

"Is it so difficult? How long will it take you, Prime Minister, to prepare?" Nicholas I asked.

Nesselrode hadn't realized the danger yet, thinking that Nicholas I was hesitating again, and quickly replied: "Considering the seriousness and complexity of the matter, it will take at least one or two months to prepare!"

Nicholas I's expression was naturally even uglier, but Nesselrode misunderstood, thinking that Nicholas I was impatient to wait and had no interest in Paskovich's proposal, and added: " Then spend another one to two months doing work on the Austrian side, and you should be able to achieve better results."

Well, Nicholas I was really angry, it took three or four months before and after, Nima, how can I have this American time? What's more, it will take three or four months for such a trivial matter, are you kidding me? It seems that you are really itchy, old man, I have to clean you up! Otherwise, you will not be able to shake the sky!

"It takes so long!" Nicholas I tried his best to restrain his emotions and said slowly: "It seems that diplomatic work is really complicated... Prime Minister, it seems that you have to manage state affairs and also be responsible for diplomatic work, the burden is too heavy , too much pressure, I should lighten your burden!"
