Struggle in Russia

Duke Dolgoruky thought about it, and felt that Peter Nikolayevich should not be so unreliable. Since he said that Maxim is trustworthy, he can only choose to believe it until there is no better way. .

Of course, an old fox like him will not help Peter Nikolaevich take risks, on the contrary, he will only throw out all the risks:

"Okay, since you think this Maxim is reliable, then I will trust you once... It's just that the ugly thing is up front, if something goes wrong with this mission because of this Maxim, then you will be solely responsible for it! "

Peter Nikolaevich opened his mouth. Of course he didn't want to take such a responsibility, but Duke Dolgoruky didn't give him a chance to argue at all. He just waved his hand and told him to leave. This made him very depressed. Almost vomiting blood.

But depression is depression. It is not up to him to object or resist what Duke Dolgoruki decides. Even if he is unhappy, he can only endure and hold back, unless one day he can climb to Dolgoruki On the Duke's head, at that time, how he wanted to deal with the other party was all based on his happiness.

"Do you want to catch Maxim again and ask him carefully?"

Peter Nikolaevich was very disapproving of the idea given by his younger brother. It wasn't that he really trusted Maxim, but that he felt that there was nothing wrong with his handling measures. At least Maxim didn't show anything worthwhile. place of doubt.

That being the case, it's pointless for him to continue to struggle with this issue, so it's better to start taking action to finish this task as soon as possible.

"Let your people start to act, and scare Duke Vorontsov according to the predetermined plan. Remember to act realistically, and don't let people see the flaws!"

According to the results of discussions between Duke Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev, it is natural to make a fake show to be real, so it is very important to find a target with some weight to carry out a decent attack. necessary.

It's just that how to choose such a weighty target makes people scratch their heads a bit, because at the beginning, according to Duke Dolgoruky's intention, the target of the attack should be Count Uvarov.

In his view, since the attackers were radical liberals or radical reformers, their target should be Count Uvarov, the former leader of the conservatives. This is the truest and most reasonable!

It’s just that this suggestion was strongly opposed by Pobedonostsev. It’s not that he feels sorry for Count Uvarov, but that he thinks that Count Uvarov is now on the cusp. Any action against him at this time It will cause severe turmoil in the situation, and it might be another violent storm.

At this sensitive moment, it's really inappropriate to do this. It's better to choose a target that has little impact on the situation, and don't make too much trouble.

It makes sense to say that, at least Duke Dolgoruky has no way to object, but Pobedonostsev's next target made him almost laugh, because he actually suggested choosing Grand Duke Constantine as the target .

Duke Dolgoruky immediately saw through his sinister intentions. This man was not worried that the attack on Count Uvarov would cause an unmanageable situation. This man clearly wanted to flatter Alexander II and deliberately disgust Kang How is Grand Duke Standing?

Otherwise, think about it, which reformist, even the most radical reformist, would launch an attack against his own people or the big boss on his side? Is it true that they are indistinguishable from each other?

Although Duke Dolgoruky doesn't like Grand Duke Constantine either, he thinks that his IQ is worrying. At that time, fools can see that there is a problem here. Maybe the people in the third part of St. Petersburg will bite back and say these attacks What if the author is a radical conservative?

Who will wipe the **** at that time? .

It's not that he was directly in charge of this operation to wipe it, and finally made him a human inside and out, but Pobedonostsev took advantage of it for nothing. How can this be tolerated?

So he threw back Pobedonostsev's excuse just now, saying that Grand Duke Constantine is too influential and it is easy to make things bigger, so he must not do this!

So the two men quarreled, and after a full hour of quarreling, they finally gave in and chose Duke Vorontsov as the target.

Why Prince Vorontsov?

The reason is very simple. First of all, his status is high enough. After all, he is a marshal of the empire or a dignified duke. He has great appeal and influence whether in the army or in the civil and official circles.

No one dared to take the attacks against him lightly, and there was no fear that the third part of St. Petersburg would not take the bait.

Secondly, although the Duke's status is high enough, he has long been marginalized in the officialdom, which means that he will not have a direct impact on the situation and help control the development of the situation.

Finally, this duke is a well-known British pro-British faction, which is a proper minority in Russia~www.readwn.com~ Even though he also supports reform, his position is not very good among the reformists To be seen.

So it is entirely possible to attack him, at least logically there is no major flaw.

Of course, this is how Duke Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev see it. If Li Xiao knows their brain circuits, I'm afraid they will be dumbfounded.

It is true that Earl Vorontsov, the Anglophile, is not very popular, but you have to see his status and qualifications. From the past history, he has done a lot of reforms, even if it is Radical reformists also recognize this.

What's more, this old man's health is already very poor, and he doesn't seem to have a few years to live. At this time, the big guy just feels sad and sad. How can there be a psychopath to plan an attack on him?

What Li Xiao didn't expect was that when Pobedonostsev and Duke Dolgoruky submitted the relevant plan to Alexander II for approval, the tsar actually agreed to the plan.

Nima, this brain circuit is really inexplicable!

So why did Alexander II short-circuit his brain? The reason was very simple, because he felt that Duke Vorontsov was indeed a good target, both in terms of status and influence, and the most important thing was that he didn't like this old guy very much.

Yes, Alexander II had a lot of opinions on Duke Vorontsov. The reason is very simple. After the defeat in Crimea, the Duke was one of the few people in the military who immediately suggested that he negotiate a peace and surrender.

It was Prince Vorontsov's enormous influence in the army that convinced a large number of generals that it was pointless to continue fighting.

This made Alexander II worry about it all the time, not to mention that during the subsequent peace talks, the Duke also said something that disgusted him...
