Struggle in Russia

As the saying goes, there is nothing first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. If Duke Mikhail is the number one general in the country and the number one person, will he have to surpass Paskovich, Chernyshov and others? !

Especially Paskovic, who is now in direct competition with Duke Mikhail, how can his younger brothers and supporters tolerate it?

Nesselrode immediately saw that Chernyshov's face changed, and Menshikov's face was also calm. Obviously, these big brothers didn't like such wording, and they didn't want to stand still. Watching Prince Mikhail stepping on their heads to the top.

So soon Chernyshov expressed his worries: "Prince Mikhail did a good job, severely hitting the arrogance of the Turks... But the method was still a bit reckless. Fortunately, the Turks were frightened, otherwise Once a full-scale conflict is triggered, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us!"

As if to prove that he was not maliciously slandering but was dedicated to the public, Chernyshov pointed and analyzed on the map: "We have deployed more than 200,000 troops in Wallachia and Moldavia, and in Ukraine Nearly 300,000 troops have been deployed, followed by preparations for military operations in the diplomatic Caucasus, and the most conservative estimate requires 100,000 troops."

"Almost all of our troops have been distributed in the above-mentioned areas. Once the conflict with Turkey leads to a full-scale war, we will need about 200,000 people just to solve the Turks. It is not even ruled out that Britain and France may interfere. In that case, we The strength of the army is even more stretched..."

The smile on the face of Nicholas I, who was very happy just now, quickly disappeared. He, Su Ri'an, was very happy, but he was not so stupid that he didn't know the heights of the world. Now there are too many things that Russia is interfering in, and it has reached its limit.

If at this time, because of a small incident, the powder kegs of the Balkans are detonated and a full-scale war with Turkey breaks out, the consequences will be extremely serious!

Seeing that Nicholas I's face changed, Menshikov immediately followed up: "According to the latest information we have received, the British Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet is active in the Aegean Sea, and their activities in the Baltic Sea have also greatly increased. It cannot be ruled out that this is a demonstration!"

Although Menshikov didn't mention Prince Mikhail in a single word, anyone with a discerning eye would know what he meant by his words. This was obviously echoing Chernyshov's application of eye drops to Prince Mikhail!

At this time, the joy of Nicholas I had disappeared, and he began to re-examine the Turkish protests, probably thinking in his heart.

And all of this was completely within Nesselrode's expectations. He knew that the group of Qiu Bahui in the military was fighting among themselves. If the gang of sand sculptures were more united, it would not be his turn to hold the position of prime minister for 20 years.

Of course, he also knew that the heat was not enough, and he had to add a spoonful of oil to make the fire more intense!

Immediately, he was filled with righteous indignation and taught Chernyshov and Menshikov: "I think this is excessive worry, and it is unfounded worry. The Turks are just a bunch of cowards, and they dare not go to war with us. As for Britain and France If they really wanted to help Turkey, they would have done it a long time ago, as for today?"

Nesselrode sighed earnestly: "I think that our front-line generals should learn from Duke Mikhail, be full of initiative like him, be able to actively analyze the pros and cons, and then take decisive measures to bring The king's fate is not accepted, so we can seize the opportunity!"

When Nesselrode said these words, he was actually so happy in his heart, because he knew the power of his words. With Nicholas I's temper, he would definitely be furious when he heard it, and if he didn't do it, he would immediately dismiss Duke Mikhail on the spot. Taking a step back, even if he didn't dismiss him immediately, he would definitely remember it severely in his heart. The last sum will be accepted by Duke Mikhail in the future.

So where did Nesselrode's words hurt? It sounds like a good thing!

Indeed, most people think it’s okay to listen to it, and think that Nesselrode is defending Prince Mikhail,

But in fact it is so bad that it oozes pus!

What did Nicholas I hate the most? The most annoying thing is that soldiers are disobedient, and they act on their own if they don't listen to his command. In his opinion, if the soldiers really will not accept the orders of the emperor abroad, then he will be the tsar at the end.

Drawing on the experience of his ancestors, especially after the Decembrist uprising, Nicholas I reused the soldiers on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was quite strict. Only soldiers who are obedient and agree with his three views can be appointed. As long as there is even the slightest sign of disorganization, discipline and disobedience, he will definitely take it down!

And listen to how Nesselrode said good things to Prince Mikhail just now. Those words were all driving Prince Mikhail to a corner, okay? Blood is good!

Fortunately, Duke Mikhail was not alone in the court, and he also had friends. After listening to Nesselrode's words, Duke Aldorf, who had not spoken much, immediately became vigilant, without hesitation. Helped fight back a wave:

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, what do you mean by these words? Why do I feel that they are not good words, and they are suspected of sowing discord! You said that Duke Mikhail's action against Turkey was to act on his own, and that he would not accept the order of the king outside! But We all know that Prince Mikhail has clarified the proposition to His Majesty before taking action, and also explained the risks and countermeasures in it."

The Duke of Aldorf suddenly emphasized his tone and asked: "How can you make your own way? You deliberately turned black and white to tell truth and wrong. What is your intention!"

Duke Aldorf was not polite at all, and only such an undisguised confrontation could make Nesselrode have nothing to say. Those who play shady are most afraid that everything will be exposed to the sun. When the Duke of Aldorf tells the story, his conspiracy will naturally have nowhere to hide!

Nicholas I's complexion changed again. Although it was still covered with dark clouds, everyone could see who the dark clouds were directed at. He was very dissatisfied with Nesselrode. It's just that he didn't settle the score directly with Nesselrode, nor did he say anything, but went directly to the next topic:

"Bucharest has been recovered, and the end of the Wallachia rebels is not far away. It is foreseeable that the order in Wallachia will soon return to normal. In view of the previous lessons, it is necessary to Do you have any recommendations for stationing an army and sending a governor?"
