Struggle in Russia

The level of level was fully demonstrated in this meeting, which is why Chernyshov and Menshikov fell down after the Crimean War a few years later, and they could only quietly serve as idlers for the elderly.

The reason for their downfall is not actually the reason for the emperor and courtiers. You can see that Ordorf, Count Rostovtsev and others who were in their era are still doing well. It can only be said that the first two are indeed almost level. Without the favor of Nicholas I, they are nothing.

At this time, these two fools hadn't realized this, and thought they understood Nicholas I's psychology better, thinking that Peter Volkonski and Duke Aldorf were simply adding to the chaos!

"Duke, your plan is too risky! According to your plan, I'm afraid it will lead to an unprecedented war. It's too risky!"

Chernyshov also echoed: "Yes, once a full-scale conflict is triggered, you will be the country's sinners!"

Peter Volkonski's psychology at this time is unknown, because this old guy is only entrusted to help speak, he actually doesn't understand the inside story, and to be honest, he may be the worst in this room that one.

But the Duke of Aldorf is different, how clever he is! So I was speechless to Menshikov and Chernyshov, the two pig teammates, and my heart was full of embarrassment: "You two idiots, it's you who didn't understand the situation. Are you okay? Look at the expression of this old fox, Nesselrode, with your dog eyes, who the hell are you!"

It's just that this is an imperial meeting after all, and Ordorf can't openly scold the street. He can only retort patiently: "Gentlemen, where is the danger of a full-scale conflict? France, Austria, and Prussia are all in civil strife. The only thing that can give us Only the UK is the only one who is looking for trouble...Maybe our navy is not the opponent of the Royal Navy, but we are not afraid of the British on land, and we will win the support of the Slavic brothers. It would be embarrassing for their weak army to be transported there!"

These words made Chernyshov and Menshikov lose their temper completely, because it seems that Duke Ordorf's analysis is very reasonable. On the Balkan battlefield, if Russia is singled out with Britain, it is really not afraid. At least these two dare not say in front of Nicholas I that the majestic Russian army is not as good as the British, that would greatly offend this majesty, after all, he always believes that the first European army is his own.

Duke Ordorf looked at Chernyshov and Menshikov meaningfully, and there was deep meaning in his eyes, which meant that these two fools should be smarter and stop being pig teammates.

It's just that it's hard to say whether these two people can understand it, anyway, don't expect too much.

Fortunately, there are still smart people in this conference room,

Just when Nesselrode wanted to stand up and refute Duke Ordorf, Uvarov suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty, I very much agree with Duke Ordorf's words. It is indeed a godsend opportunity to liberate the Balkan Slav brothers! If we can seize this opportunity, the ambitions of hundreds of years will be fulfilled, and you will become the greatest in history. Tsar! And the Slavic brothers will also go to glory under your leadership!"

Uvarov's speech caught Nesselrode, Menshikov, and Chernyshov by surprise, because Uvarov is generally silent on such military and political issues. He seldom expressed his opinions on such specific issues, but more on ideological issues.

But this time even he couldn't help but speak up. It is conceivable that Nicholas I had to weigh more. After all, this is his literary courage, and even the literary courage agreed to make a big deal. Cowardly?

Nicholas I hesitated immediately, because just now he was going to listen and look again, not necessarily planning to make trouble in the Caucasus or the Balkans, he was not that reckless.

But now that Uvarov has echoed the strategy of Ordorf and Peter Volkonsky, it seems a bit bad if he, the tsar, shrinks his eggs, at least to disappoint the courtiers.

The hesitant Nicholas I was a little hesitant, and the balance in his heart was constantly swaying. At one moment, he felt that he could take a risk, and at another moment, he felt that the risk was too great. At this time, Nesselrode couldn't bear it anymore. He knew that if If you don't talk anymore, things will be really big.

"Your Majesty, I suggest proceeding with caution. Duke Aldorf's strategy is too risky, and it is easy to cause irreparable losses!"

Yes, Nesselrode made a concession, and there was no other way, because if he continued to insist on not doing anything, then Nicholas I would definitely not agree. Besides, there were Duke Aldorf and Peter Wall over there. Duke Konsky and Uvarov, the weight of these three people is too heavy for him to contend with.

Rather than doing useless work, it is better to take advantage of the fact that Nicholas I has not been completely tempted, take advantage of the contradiction between the "military group" and the "honorary group", first stand on the side of the "military group", and use Menshikov and Che Ornyshov's energy against the adventures of the "Honorary Group".

"If something must be done, the strategies of Prince Menshikov and Count Chernyshov are more secure!"

Nicholas I looked at Nesselrode in astonishment, not understanding how the prime minister had changed so much. A few minutes ago he was firmly opposed to the adventures of Menshikov and Chernyshov. Are their strategies more secure? Did this guy take the wrong medicine?

But Nicholas I can't control that much anymore. Since Nesselrode also feels safe, then it's decided. It's not bad to think about cutting a piece of flesh from Persia.

"Very well, it is so decided, attack the Persian heretics, rescue the Armenian brothers, threaten the Turkish heretics from the flank, and lay a solid foundation for the complete settlement of the heretics in the future!"

As Nicholas I made his final decision, the matter was decided. It should be said that this result satisfied the vast majority of people in the imperial meeting. Needless to say Menshikov and Chernyshov, these two fools still looked at Prince Ordorf and laughed, thinking how great they were.

Nicholas I was even more happy. He felt that 1848 was really his lucky year. This year is only half over. He will have great gains in the Balkans and the Caucasus. What kind of harvest, he can't wait...
