Struggle in Russia

Grand Duke Constantine never thought that Sir Simons was actually directed at him. He doesn't know that rude Englishman, and he has never dealt with him, so it is impossible to offend the other party. The other side suddenly jumped out and severely criticized the steam ship with his navy reform plan to attack him.

After ruling out that the other party was a neurotic option, Grandpa Constantine believed that there was only one truth: Li Xiao offended the other party, and the other party was directed at Li Xiao. Therefore, Archduke Constantine was wounded and innocent, the unlucky ghost involved.

I can only say that the Grand Duke truly sees the situation and sees himself very high. I never thought that his innovation plan actually offends people more than those articles written by Li Xiao. After all, Li Xiao's articles are no more than rhetoric, and his actions are actually moving many people's cheese. .

But those unlucky ghosts who were robbed of cheese did not dare to go to the trouble with Nicholas I's son, and could only accuse Sang Huai of spitting at Li Xiao, a supporter of the steamboat.

In a sense, it was Grand Duke Constantine that affected Li Xiao, not the other way around.

But all these Grand Duke Constantine are invisible and unwilling to admit it. He naturally felt that he was wise and all right, and that it was the fault of others that caused troubles and problems. For example, Li Xiao is a guy who is particularly good at giving him trouble. He doesn't have the slightest affection for such a guy.

"Don't worry about it!" Said Archduke Constantine indignantly, "that guy's own trouble to calm it down. I won't help him wipe his ass. We can do our own thing!"

Speaking of this, he said indignantly: "Also, send someone to warn him, let him stop, jump up and down, and trouble me, I'll pack him up!"

Nicolas Milyuting is very speechless, because his political level is still a little higher than that of Archduke Constantine. The truth that Grandpa Constantine couldn't see, he could perceive it more or less. At least he knew that those yin and yang sounds were not directed at Li Xiao, they were just appearances!

"Sir, I'm afraid it's not that simple!" He said deliberately, "I'm observing that this crooked wind is probably for you!"

"Come at me ?!"

Grandpa Constantine opened his mouth wide and looked very stunned. He immediately retorted: "How is it possible! I haven't offended the British guy, it must be the hybrid who preached some so-called new technologies, so that it became hot The British guy ... "

"I told you a long time ago that he was just a half-slinger and even advocated propellers? God, he even thought that such a few blades could drive thousands of tons of giant ships! He was absolutely crazy, a little There is no reason! Everyone knows that paddle wheels are the best choice, and propellers are evil gates! "

Yes, Grand Duke Constantine's steam ship refers to paddle steamers. The archduke's barren scientific knowledge and imagination made him completely unacceptable to the "evil gate" of the propeller. He naturally thinks that the huge device such as paddle wheels is more powerful and can drive larger ships. The small propeller fart is useless and useless.

So in the new year's navy budget, all steam ships are paddle wheel driven. None have propellers. The self-righteous archduke did not know that the Royal Navy, after comparative tests, found that the steam ships with the same power had more efficient propellers than paddle wheels. Moreover, the huge paddle wheel installed in the middle of the hull is eye-catching, occupying a position and easily damaged, that is really a crooked path.

Of course, even if Grand Duke Constantine knew it, he would not change his support for the paddle wheel. The reason is very simple. The British company that produced the paddle wheel gave him a large rebate. Wheels are better propellers.

However, these careful thoughts of Grandpa Constantine cannot be hidden from Nicholas Miliutin. Although he admires Grandpa Constantine very much, he will not arrogantly hold all the bad feet of the other side.

Nicholas Milyuting sighed: "You haven't offended Sir William Simmonds, but your navy reform plan has greatly offended many people in the Admiralty. They don't like your plan, let alone I don't like my interests to be compromised. And Sir William Simmonds, if I understand you right ... "

After a little meal, he smiled bitterly: "That jazz is also a well-known old school in the Royal Navy and strongly opposes the steam ship. So it is normal for him to dislike your innovation. As for attacking your innovation with great fanfare, that is the reason It may be very complicated. All I can say is that the Archduke Andre was just a fuse ... "

The expression of Grandpa Constantine suddenly became very ugly, and he heard it. The meaning of Nicolas Milyutin's words was very clear, that is, his naval reform plan of Grandpa Constantine triggered all this. The underlying reason is that UU reading www.uukanshu.com Li Xiao is just the unlucky ghost who just happened to be there.

This makes him totally unacceptable, even if it makes sense, he cannot accept it. Because it directly points to the essence of the problem-it is he who has incurred Li Xiao, not the other way around, which means that it is all his fault.

But how could the great Archduke Constantine and the future Emperor Constantine make mistakes? This is a great offense, an attack and slander against him, totally unacceptable!

"Nicholas! My friend!"

Grandpa Constantine called my friend in his mouth, but his expression and tone were not like talking to a friend at all, but like a subordinate who learned to make mistakes.

"Listening to your tone, it seems that I am extremely unpopular in the Navy! This makes me unacceptable! The officers of the Russian Navy have always been an upward force, always united around me, I am welcomed and loved by them! It is obvious ! "

"Those who try to alienate me and the core officers in the Admiralty will viciously attack my innovation plan! Everyone knows that this is not the case! My plan is very popular! All officers express their support! They can't wait I want to see my plan implemented! "

"And you have hit the tricks of a few very mean men, and you believe the lies they say. It's nothing like you! Sir! Your ideas are very dangerous! Very dangerous! I hope you return quickly Come on track! "

He said that Grand Duke Constantine gave Nicholas Milutin a stern look as a warning, and then emphasized again:

"All the troubles and problems are caused by Andre's hybrid. He is the root of all problems! As long as he is solved, all problems will be solved! And this is our current priority!"
