Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 1003: Deterrence (on)

After Count Shuvanov started working in the third part, he was not generally low-key. He hardly said a word and did not contact his colleagues very much, which made his presence in the third part infinitely close to zero.

To be honest, it was very unusual, at least not at all like him before.

In the past, no matter what he said, he was keen on power and fighting for power, so it was impossible for him to put a large piece of fat in front of his eyes and ignore it.

But now he is just like an old monk in meditation, as if he has seen through everything, as if everything is nothingness.

Just what...

He, an old monk, is actually in a state of trance. Do you think he doesn't want to fight for power?

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

Why not?

There was only one reason, the opponent was too strong, and Count Shuvanov knew that he would only be beaten if he rushed up, so naturally he was honest.

Yes, Pobedonostsev put a lot of pressure on him. Although he doesn’t think that this man is really capable of being the director of the third part, he also knows that it’s one thing whether he has the ability to be the director. Whether he can kill him is another matter.

As far as Pobedonostsev is favored now, Shuvanov is not enough for others to punch and kick.

How lucky and difficult it is to be able to return to the third part. Only Count Shuvanov himself knows, so he especially cherishes this hard-won opportunity. As long as it is not a fatal situation, he is willing to pretend that his grandson is patient.

Of course, this kind of patience is temporary. After all, Count Shuvanov has no hobby of pretending to be a grandson all his life, because his purpose of pretending to be a grandson is to become a grandfather, not a real grandson.

Temporary camouflage is nothing more than keeping a low profile. Once the situation changes or he has some important resources, he will immediately change his face.

What's more, he has other purposes for pretending to be a grandson, which is to show the enemy and paralyze Pobedonostsev and Duke Dolgoruky with weakness, so that these two inadvertently show flaws or handles in him.

I have to say that this man's disguise was very successful. He really failed to attract Pobedonostsev's attention. Although Duke Dolgoruky vaguely knew that Count Shuvanov was not simple, but his main Pobedonostsev's attention was restrained, and naturally he didn't have much energy to take care of him.

So the actions of him and Pobedonostsev were unsurprisingly seen by Count Shuvanov. To be honest, Count Shuvanov was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why these two suddenly wanted to attack Li Xiao. , because there seems to be no hatred between the two parties, and there is no great conflict of interest, so why do they have to fight?

Moreover, the way of attacking is so special, to engage in such an inexplicable trick, what is it for?

Count Shuvanov was at least inexplicable if he didn’t say he was confused. If he knew Alexander II’s request, I’m afraid he would have 10,000 better ways to achieve his goal, so he wouldn’t be like Pobedonostsev and Duke Dolgoruky is so clumsy.

But then again, Count Shuvanov may indeed have a more climax, but his conspiracies and tricks are actually more troublesome than the tricks of Duke Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev.

This is also the fact that although he was able to become the third chief in history, he was used as a swordsman by Alexander II, and he was thrown aside after using it and ignored. These all show that he is actually a loser.

Still the same sentence, this guy is really smart, but he likes to show off his smartness too much, so naturally he can only be smart and be mistaken by cleverness in the end!

For example, now, after learning about Duke Dolgoruky's strange behavior, what should Count Shuvanov do most?

From the point of view of a courtier, he should inform Alexander II as soon as possible, so that he will naturally know what Duke Dolgoruky is for. If it is not good, Alexander II will let him join the action. It can perfect Duke Dolgoruky's plan full of loopholes.

Even if he still failed to trick Li Xiao in the end, Alexander II would not blame him. Instead, he would think that he was indeed useful, at least qualified as a spy to monitor Pobedonostsev and Duke Dolgoruky.

This is the best choice for Earl Shuvanov, but he won't choose, the reason is very simple, his selfishness is too heavy, and he would rather do nothing to ensure his own safety before he has figured out the situation Will not take risks.

And he was very worried about making a small report to Alexander II. Once Duke Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev knew about it, he would definitely not be spared.

What's more, Pobedonostsev is still the new second-in-command of the conservative faction. Everyone is his own, and he must be consistent with the outside world. How can he fight?

Based on the premise of safety first, it is better to do more than to do less than to offend others, Count Shuvanov naturally pretended not to see anything and would not do anything~www.readwn.com~ In this way, safety is safe, But he also missed the opportunity. And if you think about it once or twice, it's okay, but if it happens every time in the future, do you think Alexander II will still trust him? Do you still find him useful?

The answer is naturally no.

This is where Count Shuvanov was confused, because he completely forgot who his boss was. From Alexander II's point of view, he probably does not want the reformists to gain power, nor does he want the conservatives to dominate, which is not conducive to his rule.

The reason why he put Count Shuvanov back in the third part was to let him monitor Pobedonostsev and others, but you Count Shuvanov pretended to be stupid without knowing it, so what do you want? use?

This is probably a typical example of being smart in small things and confused in big things, otherwise he would not have made efforts to bring down Grand Duke Constantine in history, but it turned out to be just that.

At this moment, after some thought, he decided to be careful and pretend he didn't see it.

It's just that, soon someone will spank his ass.

"Count, is your work going well recently?"

Count Shuvanov looked at the smiling Count Rostovtsev with a cold heart. He doesn't think this guy really cares about his work situation!

If Pobedonostsev was only afraid to offend, he was genuinely afraid of Count Rostovtsev.

"Why don't you speak? Earl!"

Following Count Rostovtsev's urging, Count Shuvanov could only bite the bullet and reply: "Thank you for your concern, everything is going well."

Count Rostovtsev chuckled: "Since everything is going well, why haven't I received any reports from you? Have you forgotten the task I gave you?"
