Struggle in Russia

Viscount Prozolov seemed to be trying to smooth things over and maintain unity, but in fact, with just a little touch, you could tell that he was trying to make a public confession for Constantine.

Let’s talk about the strategic issue raised by Li Xiao first. Did Nikolai Milyutin say that this strategy must be followed now?

Not from beginning to end, right?

He merely publicly supports this strategy and thinks it is a very good strategy.

It's just that his influence is very great, and there are so many people who echo his call, and everyone supports this.

But this still remains at the level of discussion, far from implementation.

But Viscount Prozolov seemed to mean that Nikolai Milyutin did not listen to other opinions and insisted on implementing the plan arbitrarily.

The difference here is huge. To put it bluntly, this is called confusing concepts and muddying the waters.

As for Viscount Prozolov's statement that the arrest of the editor of "Voice of Liberty" was a bad start, he is evading the important and trivial.

Why did Li Xiao want to arrest these people? Is it retaliation?

It was obvious that these guys were the first to cause trouble by biting and slandering others, and they also followed the instructions of Archduke Constantine to criticize and discredit Alexander II. Seeing that they would cause big trouble and implicate the reformists, Li Xiao had no choice but to kill him.

The nature of the two is very different!

According to Viscount Prozolov, everything Grand Duke Constantine did was whitewashed, as if it was just that he was wronged and resentful.

But this is not the case. From the beginning to the end, it was their master and servant who were responsible for the trouble. After it was done, they would blame each other and clear themselves out, making themselves seem aggrieved.

Nikolai Milyutin couldn't stand it anymore and immediately said: "As for the strategic issue raised by Archduke Andrei, I have said it many times and I strongly support it. As for whether others support it, I can't force it. I won’t force it! However, judging from the current facts, the people who support it account for an absolute majority, and everyone agrees that this strategy is very good! There is no such thing as making a decision without discussion and research, because it is still under discussion. In the field of research, I have repeatedly told His Highness that if he has a better strategy, just mention it, but he can't come up with any substantive strategy. Instead, he blindly slanders, attacks, and incites trouble in an attempt to prevent Archduke Andrei's strategy from being adopted. , what is the nature of this?”

This is not the end, he continued: "As for the "Voice of Liberty" incident, I also agree with the arrest of the relevant personnel. They... no, it should be your actions that are unacceptable and intolerable! Arresting them is to eradicate the cancer. , it has only advantages and no disadvantages for the great cause of reform! I am here to warn you for the last time not to engage in small tricks under the guise of reform. Everyone has sharp eyes and can see who is really doing things and who is seeking personal gain! "

Viscount Prozolov had a look on his face. His always effective method of muddying the waters and hiding the truth failed. Not only did he fail to lead Nikolai Milyutin astray, he actually got a lesson. That's embarrassing!

However, he is thick-skinned and does not feel much about being taught a lesson. What's more, he knows that he must not confront Nikolay Milyutin right now. If you challenge him, you will definitely be dealt with worse.

The most important thing now is to bow down and let others calm down, and then slowly regain the game.

It’s just that Grand Duke Konstantin obviously doesn’t know how to pretend to be a grandson. Viscount Prozolov was even more embarrassed when he was slapped in the face. Seeing that Nikolay Milyutin refused to give face, he even beat him to death. The trend of his face, he jumped again.

"What does it mean that the vast majority of people support that bastard's strategy? Why don't you look at how many people are against it in the newspaper? Look at how many intellectuals and scholars agree with it. It's obvious that you are forcibly implementing it regardless of everyone's opposition. And You say you respect the opinions of most people! You are too shameless!"

Nikolai Milyutin sighed in his heart. The reason why he was willing to tell Grand Duke Constantine so much was because he actually wanted to save him and wake him up.

But now it seems that he really made the wrong payment, and this person is already crazy!

He immediately replied: "Your Highness, do you need me to explain clearly what the so-called objections in the intellectuals and newspapers are about? Do you really have to say anything about what you did in them?"

Grand Duke Constantine suddenly panicked, but he still said stubbornly: "I don't understand what you are talking about. The reason why intellectuals object is because there is something wrong with that strategy..."

Nikolai Milyutin couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted directly: "The fundamental reason for their opposition is not that there is something wrong with this strategy, but that you paid for them to oppose it. I need to name the newspapers and knowledge you gave them." How much money did the molecule send?!”

Grand Duke Constantine was like a drake that had been strangled by the neck. His throat could only make a hissing sound, and his face was even more embarrassed.

He really didn't expect Nikolai Milyutin to be so direct, UU read a book www. uukanshu.net did not expect that the other party would really know everything about what he had done.

This is very embarrassing!

Nikolai Milyutin continued to lecture: "I have told you time and time again, don't do those little tricks, it is too shameful and you treat others as idiots. We are not stupid enough to see what you have done." ! If you continue to do this, there will be more embarrassing times in the future!"

Grand Duke Constantine insisted on not speaking, but this stubbornness seemed so ridiculous. He was like a child who refused to admit his mistakes. He thought that as long as he did not admit his mistakes, he could save face and he would be the winner. But in fact, everyone knew this This kind of behavior is too childish, out of style, and completely meaningless.

Anyway, Nikolai Milyutin was extremely disappointed with him, and he already had the mentality of saying it was all he wanted to do or not.

Viscount Prozolov had no choice but to stand up and smooth things over again: "Count, Your Highness, I think these are minor problems, and the flaws cannot be concealed... Let it be said that it is easier to resolve disputes by exchanging opinions openly... Let's exchange opinions frankly, and then Continue to work hard for the cause of reform, and we will still be comrades and friends!"

As he spoke, he winked desperately to Grand Duke Constantine, telling him not to be stubborn again. Didn't you see that Nikolay Milyutin has lost his patience? If you keep doing this, people will really treat you. You are welcome!

It’s just that if Grand Duke Constantine could listen, he would not be Grand Duke Constantine. He was so angry that he didn’t even pay attention to Viscount Prozolov’s eyes. He flung his sleeves angrily and turned away, looking so decisive and firm. As if he was so right.

Viscount Prozolov was really speechless. Why did he take refuge in such an ancestor? You are going to kill him!
