Struggle in Russia

Anton was dumbfounded, because he never expected Count Rostovtsev to say such a thing. It is true that the earl was right. To overthrow Peter Balek and then take down the position of the governor of Ukraine is definitely the most advantageous plan.

But is it that easy?

This is the governor of Ukraine, and it can be regarded as the top official in Russia. Is such an important position that you can win if you want?

In Anton’s opinion, even if you are Count Rostovtsev and a great man, it’s not that easy to get a grip on the position of the governor of Ukraine. What's more, this time is still grabbing food. It is not only difficult to defeat Uvarov but also to prevent Duke Constantine from causing trouble?

"Do you find it difficult?" Count Rostovtsev asked with a smile.

Anton nodded subconsciously. He felt that Count Rostovtsev might tell him this was just a piece of cake, and then he gave a plan with a big wave of his hand, and then he just followed the gourd to follow.

It's just that Count Rostovtsev's next words surprised Anton: "It's really difficult, but it's interesting if it's harder, isn't it?"

Anton is probably greeting the female relatives of Count Rostovtsev's family, and your feelings are for fun to increase the difficulty! Isn't this sick! It's just crazy!

Now Anton’s feelings towards the earl have suddenly become very bad. He feels that this is a bit unreliable in any way he looks at it, and he has an opinion on his boss letting him give him this neurosis.

As if Count Rostovtsev didn’t realize Anton’s dissatisfaction, he calmly said: “Your task is to do well the things that were given to you before. You don’t have to worry too much about the rest. There are new things. I will send someone to find you. If you find out, please contact my personal secretary Sergey. If there is no emergency, don’t come to me directly. I guess this section of Kiev’s flies will be around me. , My relationship with your grand prince cannot be exposed, you should understand!"

Anton has no opinion on this, anyway, Count Rostovtsev doesn't feel very good for him, and being able to deal with less is in his arms. Suddenly he left happily, looking like he was out of the mouth of a tiger.

"Your Excellency, this Major Anton doesn't seem to like you very much!"

Sergei, the secretary of Count Rostovtsev, smiled and joked. The count just shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Obviously he doesn't think I'm very reliable, and thinks I'm a horrible elephant!"

Sergey was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "He probably didn't know that you were planning all of this a long time ago. He thought you were on a temporary basis?"

Speaking of this, Sergey suddenly asked: "How are you going to start? I think you are so powerful in taking down Count Shuvalov, it should be for the purpose of pointing at Peter Balek!"

Count Rostovtsev smiled, and did not directly answer Sergey’s question, probably in his opinion this question is too simple for the personal secretary who follows him every day, if he can’t even see this, It really wasted his years of training.

"What do you think Peter Balek would do without Shuvalov's constraints?"

Sergey replied without hesitation: "I think the governor will definitely not continue to tolerate the state of being subjugated, and will definitely try to take over everything."

Count Rostovtsev smiled again. Obviously he thinks so too. From what he has observed today, it is basically certain that the relationship between Peter Balek and Shuvalov is very tense. Love is above him with a grievance. If the contradiction between them is taken advantage of, the conservative forces in Ukraine can be dismantled in minutes.

"You sent me people to closely monitor Shuvalov around the clock. You must make sure that no one can pass the message to him. I want him to become deaf, blind and dumb! By the way, it is best to use our own hands, Ukrainians. People, even those who were sent by the Duke of Aldorf to assist us, are unreliable, and we can't give them the key things!"

Sergey was stunned, and asked, "Even the Duke of Aldorf can't be trusted?"

Count Rostovtsev glanced at him. He knew that his secretary was good at everything, and his mental experience could be regarded as a top-notch existence. The only problem was the lack of experience at the grassroots level and the lack of a definite understanding of the evils of the human heart.

So he specifically explained: "Do you think the Duke of Aldorf is reliable?"

Sergey thought for a while and replied: "At least for the time being, he should be reliable in dealing with Count Uvarov, and he won't be able to stumble us!"

Count Rostovtsev smiled and said, "Generally reliable, but in fact it is no different from being unreliable. If you cannot be 100% sure of a problem, then it is best not to put all your chips on it, otherwise you will lose. It's not a name!"

Without waiting for Sergei to speak, he continued to say: "It is true that the Duke of Ordov may not have a conflict of interest with us on the issue of dealing with the Count of Uvarov. But you must consider the interests of the people. Ukraine It's a big piece of fat, we can bite it, can't the Duke of Aldorf bite it?"

Sergey was taken aback again and hesitated: "You mean, he also has ideas about Ukraine?"

"I don't know if he has any thoughts, but I know we must never underestimate the greed in human nature. What if the Duke of Aldorf becomes greedy? Don't be afraid of ten thousand, but be afraid of it. You should be more careful about such major events. Not a bad thing!"

Sergey nodded honestly, but Count Rostovtsev could see that he did not have a particularly deep understanding of this. Obviously he felt that the Duke of Aldorf was still reliable, or that he had something in his heart. With such a fluke, I don't think the problem is big.

This is the difference between the greenhouse flowers that have not experienced wind and rain and the wild grass outside. Count Rostovtsev knew that if he asked Anton or Li Xiao the same question, the two would definitely not choose to trust the Duke of Ordorf. They would more or less take precautions, even with the possibility of Li Xiao. Both defenses are possible.

In contrast, Sergey seemed a little immature. Count Rostovtsev frowned. Although he believed that Sergey would carry out his orders 100%, he wanted more than just execution. Simple, because the execution is also divided into levels, there are particularly careful executions, and there are also perfunctory executions...
