Struggle in Russia

Alexei thought about it for a long time, and to be honest, he was very conflicted. If you say that Li Xiao is completely unreasonable in the current situation, it is obviously not the case. But if you say that Count Rostovtsev is wrong, he thinks it is questionable.

Both of them insisted on their own principles, and there was no possibility of compromise at all, so it was very difficult for him to be caught in the middle.

He couldn't ignore Li Xiao's appeal, but he couldn't oppose Count Rostovtsev's plan either. After all, he is the authority leader of the Reformist Party, and the Reformist Party accepts his leadership by default. If he contradicts Count Rostovtsev at this time, the uncles who took good care of him in the past will not accept it.

Alexey tried his best but couldn't think of a solution to the problem, so he could only sigh helplessly and said, "I understand your worries very well, and I can only try to help you convince more people to understand, but I hope you don't Not particularly big, you have to be prepared to accept reality!"

In fact, this was enough for Li Xiao, he never expected to overthrow Count Rostovtsev's plan now, it was simply unrealistic, and it was too late. If he makes such a fuss without hesitation, it is likely to cause chaos within the Reformist Party and make things more complicated.

He is not a person who disregards the overall situation regardless of the importance. He obeys the overall situation when necessary. What he is actually asking is to change Count Rostovtsev's reckless attitude, so that the reformist can listen to more when making decisions. The opinions of many people, instead of Count Rostovtsev doing whatever he wants, everyone can only passively obey his assignment.

He worriedly said to Alexei: "The decision-making power cannot be delegated to only one or two people. This will cause big problems! Once these two people make a mistake in their judgment, we will be doomed. We should expand the decision-making layer and let more People have a platform to express their demands and opinions!"

Alexei nodded thoughtfully. Maybe others would think that Li Xiao was fighting for power, but he knew it was not. Because someone has never been a dictator, as long as it involves decision-making, he will always call everyone to have a meeting to discuss, fully explain and listen to opinions, and then weigh the pros and cons of all aspects to reach an agreed opinion.

He will not impose his opinions on anyone. When his opinions are inconsistent with others, he always explains and tries to persuade everyone to understand. If everyone really doesn't understand, he won't go his own way.

To be honest, Alexei felt very comfortable. Everyone had the possibility to express their opinions and appeals. There was no such thing as Count Rostovtsev. I was the boss and everyone else had to listen to my overbearing behavior.

If Alexei had a choice, he would definitely prefer to be with Li Xiao, rather than being instigated by Count Rostovtsev. Even if the latter seems to be more powerful now.

It's a pity that he didn't have a choice. The Russians are completely used to obedience. They always blindly implement the decisions of the superiors without thinking, even if they clearly have opinions on this decision, they dare not speak out.

He sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible. As you know, many people regard the earl as a god, and will regard your suggestion as a provocation to the earl. They will think that you are fighting for power and profit, and it is impossible to support it!"

In fact, Alexei did not fully explain what he had said. The most fundamental reason why most people in the reformists opposed it was that Count Rostovtsev had too much authority. Anyone who opposed him might be retaliated against. Offend him!

Li Xiao nodded and replied calmly: "I know, I know there won't be many people supporting us, but the more this happens, the less we should keep silent, and we need to make a sound to let everyone know People can use the power in their hands to make a speech! Otherwise, everyone will take it for granted and will always accept it silently!"

Only then did Alexei understand Li Xiao's intentions. The reformists must know that Earl Rostovtsev cannot cover the sky with one hand, and everyone must know that expressing opposition or expressing their own demands is normal and correct.

Maybe this time, even if they speak up, it won't have much effect, but at least people know that they still have the right to speak and express their opposition!

After realizing this, Alexei's entanglement and depression were instantly swept away, and he knew what to do!

"That counts me in. I support expressing opinions. It is true that there cannot always be only one voice!"

Alexei was not the only one who expressed support. When Dmitry heard the news, although his identity was rather special and it was not suitable for public disclosure, he sent a message to Li Xiao and Alexei in private to clearly express his approval. .

In addition, he also specifically found Nikolai Milutin to persuade him to express his support for Li Xiao and Alexei.

"Isn't that appropriate?" Nicholas Milutin hesitated, not because he thought Li Xiao's approach was wrong. Instead, he was worried that he would irritate Count Rostovtsev.

"This is tantamount to openly contradicting the count, and it will cause confusion!" he emphasized.

"What kind of confusion can this cause?" Dmitry was a little anxious~www.readwn.com~ Don't we even have the right to express our opinions and appeals? Even the tsar doesn't have such great power, so why doesn't the earl let us speak? "

Nikolai Milutin shook his head and said, "It's not that you are not allowed to speak, but that it is wrong to speak at this time. After all, the Earl's plan is progressing smoothly. If you object at this time, isn't that a blatant demolition?"

Dmitry was angry: "Then when did you let us talk? Did he ask our opinion before the plan was launched and gave us a chance to talk? According to you, we will never be able to talk! "

Nikolai Milutin was stunned. This was the first time he saw Dmitry so excited. Didn't he echo Count Rostovtsev's opinion and criticize him before? How did it turn around today? ..

He asked curiously: "Are you having a conflict with the count? Let me tell you..."

Before he finished speaking, Dmitry interrupted: "I have no conflict with the count, I'm just talking about the facts. His behavior is very problematic. How can he do something like him? Don't ask our opinions beforehand. We are not allowed to speak after posting, what kind of reason is this?"

Nikolai Milutin replied naturally: "What's the problem? It's appropriate to gossip about such an important matter? What if the news is leaked? This is also for the sake of confidentiality! Besides, the count's decision-making has always been fine, as long as everyone is careful Execute, nothing will go wrong!"

Dmitry immediately became angry: "Keeping it secret means that only he knows it. Could it be that you will leak the secret? He should at least call you bosses for a meeting, but he didn't do anything and didn't ask you. Regardless of whether you agree or not, only he knows from the beginning to the end, is it appropriate?"
