Struggle in Russia

Count Rostovtsev was stunned. Old Igor's evaluation of him was beyond his expectations.

He even thinks that others think he is a wise man or a conspirator who is very wise and serious.

It never occurred to me that he was a domineering, authoritarian, old-school paternal **** in the eyes of others.

The contrast was too great for him to accept at all. At most he thought he was a bit domineering, but he definitely didn't think he was difficult to deal with.

He couldn't laugh anymore, and asked with a straight face: "Is this Grand Duke Andrei's opinion or yours?"

Old Igor replied heavily: "This is the consensus of all of us!"

The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and Count Rostovtsev looked straight at old Igor, the pressure was suffocating.

Old Igor looked at him fearlessly, as if to say: I also think so when the king of heaven is here, you are such a person!

After a long time, Count Rostovtsev took a deep breath and replied indifferently: "It doesn't matter what you think of me. The important thing is not to get in the way or my plan. That's enough. Already!"

To tell the truth, old Igor was very disappointed. He has known Count Rostovtsev for many years. When the old people from that era gradually withered or simply succumbed to Nicholas I's despotic power, Count Rostovtsev is rare to make him feel friends of people.

But today he discovered that this friend has also become unrecognizable. He is no longer what he was in the past. He has been completely changed by this twisted society, and he has become so ugly and unsightly.

Old Igor was very disappointed and regretful. From today onwards, he lost another old friend. Those good memories were really just memories.

"As you please!" Old Igor sighed, "As a former friend, I have said everything I should say, and I have a clear conscience! I hope you will think clearly about what you are doing, and don't end up betraying your relatives! Goodbye!"

Old Igor didn't want to stay for a moment, he understood why Li Xiao was so angry and lost his composure today, and also understood why he made that decision. Count Rostovtsev is such a disappointment, this man is already insane!

Count Rostovtsev didn't think he was a demon. He had a clear goal and a clear method. Everything was going according to his plan, so what was wrong with him?

It could only be old Igor and Li Xiao who were wrong, it was because they didn't understand the cruelty of reality, it was because of their kindness of women, and it was because they didn't understand his painstaking efforts at all. The reason why these naive people were suppressed so miserably by Nicholas I was entirely because of their naivety.

If it wasn't for him, old Igor and Li Xiao wouldn't even have a chance to catch their breath, but now this group of Xiaobai who have been favored by him dare to point fingers at him and say that he is wrong?

Simply ungrateful!

Count Rostovtsev felt a fit of unexplained distress and was particularly angry. And he thought that anger and other feelings that only weak people have had long since been abandoned by him. He actually broke the precept today because of two Xiaobai, it really shouldn't be.

He tried his best to calm down the boredom in his chest, and told himself that he couldn't care about idiots, not to mention that he never thought of making them grateful when helping those idiots.

It took a while for Count Rostovtsev to control his emotions. He drank a cup of tea slowly and began to plan his future plans again.

After all, some people behave very naive and unreasonable, which shows that they are not strong enough to take on heavy responsibilities, and naturally they cannot provoke those responsibilities, so we must take precautions early, so as not to be delayed by some people

Count Rostovtsev was detached and even proud. It seemed that both Li Xiao and the old Igor would crawl at his feet, listen to his admonitions and obey his guidance. It was as if he were Zeus on Olympus.

And this is what Li Xiao dislikes the most, because there is no omniscient and omnipotent **** in this world, and no one can be perfect. But Count Rostovtsev was paranoid that his plans and methods of doing things were perfect, and he mistakenly believed that he already knew everything, which was unbearable.

Li Xiao admits that his level is not as good as that of Count Rostovtsev, and also admits that most people and most reformers are not as good as him, but no matter how good he is, he cannot never make mistakes, nor can he be perfect.

There is no harm in listening to other opinions, and it is not a problem to put yourself in the shoes of others and consider the majority of people.

But he is so paranoid that he does not allow anyone to oppose his plan, even a little adjustment in details is intolerable.

This makes people crazy, anyway, Li Xiao doesn't want to work with such a person, and he doesn't want to be friends with such a person, so he chooses from now on to only discuss the matter~www.readwn.com~ Only when he can cooperate can he cooperate, otherwise Everyone does not offend the river water.

"You really did that?" Alexey asked in surprise.

Li Xiao nodded silently: "I've endured it for a long time, this time I really can't bear it anymore!"

Alexei hesitated for a moment, and said: "But in my opinion, there is no problem with the general direction of his plan, the timing is very accurate, and the possibility of success is very high!"

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "I didn't say there was a problem with his timing, nor did I think his general direction was wrong, I was talking about the details! Obviously there is no need to pay such a heavy price, and obviously there is no need to die so many people and shed so much blood. But he just doesn't care! He just wants to be ruthless to the end! This makes me unacceptable!"

Alexei was stunned, and sighed: "I knew it was the problem, although I also think it's a bit too much, but from his point of view, ensuring success is the first priority, and he should also be seeking stability. Bar?"

Li Xiao snorted: "This has nothing to do with seeking stability. As far as the current situation in Ukraine is concerned, it is already very stable... Even if you send a large army to counter the rebellion immediately, it is impossible to do it without a month or two of preparation, that is to say When the anti-insurgency troops arrived in Ukraine, the situation was already very bad. But now he still doesn’t agree, and still has to delay, what will the delay be like? Will he be satisfied if he has to shed blood for thousands of miles?”

Alexei stopped talking, because he knew that what Li Xiao said was right, even if he tried his best to put down the rebellion immediately, it would take time. Maybe before the army arrives in Ukraine, it will become a mess over there, but Count Rostovtsev still has to wait and make Ukraine even more chaotic. What kind of chaos will it look like?

Maybe it will become like what Li Xiao said, what a heavy price to pay, is this really necessary?
