Struggle in Russia

There is really not much time left for Mikhail Gorchakov. According to the original plan, he must do it at the end of June. After all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already negotiated with the Turks. At the end of June, the two sides issued a joint statement. Then they drove hand in hand side by side to Moldavia and Wallachia.

It is now the end of May, and the time left for Kornilov's training is only one month. One month may be a military training to make a living, but wanting to correct a group of greasy people is really choking.

Gorchakov also knew the difficulty was not small, so he directly gave Kornilov the right to live and kill: "...Any behavior that resists training is not permitted, and for officers and soldiers who have such behavior, Deal with it seriously. When necessary, you can rectify the Fa on the spot without going through a military court!"

This is tantamount to telling Kornilov to just commit the killings, and Gorchakov is going to fight anyway, the situation is too unfavorable for him, and if he really doesn't need to do anything with his mother-in-law.

As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge, this is no joke. Gorchakov doesn't mind killing chickens and monkeys when necessary, even if these chickens are a little too many or a little strong, they have to be killed!

Of course, the most critical chicken is the Mikheevich brothers, and only a thorough liquidation of these two **** can achieve the best results. So after Gorchakov returned to his office, he immediately drafted a detailed explanatory document, listing the good things the Mikheevich brothers did and the losses they caused, and then directly petitioned Nikolai. I severely punished these two bastards.

"Sasha, what do you think of this report?"

Nicholas I handed Gorchakov's report to Crown Prince Alexander with a blank face, as if seeking his opinion.

Prince Alexander accepted the report "honestly" and read it carefully. The things it said made him a bit shocking. It was a bit scary to be so courageous!

However, Prince Alexander did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he took a careful look at his Lao Tzu, and then took a quick glance at Nesher Rody, Chernyshov, Menshkov and Peter Vaughan next to him. Erkonsky waited for the important ministers to take a look.

For Prince Alexander, opinions cannot be expressed casually. After all, his mind is difficult to guess, and once he guesses wrong, the consequences are very serious, so a thousand words are worse than silence.

But, Nicholas I asked him specifically, and he couldn't say nothing, or didn't know. This is an absolute point reduction option. After weighing it for a moment, especially after referring to the expressions of the ministers, Prince Alexander replied:

"This case is very shocking. If Duke Mikhail Gorchakov had not lied, then the Mikheevich brothers would be unforgivable... But now it is just a word from the Duke, and considering the Duke just now Arriving in the Black Sea Fleet does not rule out the possibility of being deceived or not being rigorous enough in reconnaissance...I think it is more appropriate to send someone who is reliable and expert enough to handle it properly..."

It should be said that Prince Alexander's remarks are not leaking. It is time to express his position, and it should be meticulous and meticulous. It is reasonable to say that Nicholas I should be satisfied, but it is a pity that Nicholas I is not satisfied!

The reason?

Quite simply, Nicholas I believed that as a crown prince, he must be a bit domineering. Prince Alexander's dripping water seems safe, but what meaning does it mean to the emperor? The emperor is the one who makes the final decision. Now that the war is about to come, you have sent individuals all the way to Sevastopol to find out the truth. Does this have the meaning of wool?

Before the person you sent to figure out the truth, the day lily was cold!

Nicholas I believed that since Lazarev and Mikhail Gorchakov reported the incident and the situation seems to be serious, the first thing is not to think about how to deal with the matter, but to look at it. It depends on how to make a decision to minimize the impact of this case on subsequent military operations.

After all, the next military action is the most important thing, and the case of the Mikheevich brothers is worth a lot of money!

Nicholas I felt that Prince Alexander’s first consideration was military operations, not investigations. The truth of the case is not important, as long as it does not affect the military operations!

Therefore, in the mind of Nicholas I, the ranking of the matter should be like this: military actions are greater than the truth of the case. In other words, the important generals who can guarantee the smooth development of military operations are greater than the Mikhevich brothers.

Naturally, it was very simple to deal with it, and the requests of Mikhail Gorchakov and Lazarev were followed to allow the military operation to proceed smoothly!

As for the Mikheevich brothers, are they very sinful and important? It doesn't matter at all, as long as Gorchakov and Lazarev take down Moldavia and Wallachia smoothly, what if they are wronged?

For Nicholas I, the innocence and cunning but the meritorious general is obviously the latter more important. Taking a step back, it is very possible that the Mikheevich brothers were not wronged! Is it true that Nicholas I was blind and deaf? How could he have been unaware of what the Mikheevich brothers have done for so many years?

In the past it was just to check and balance Lazarev, so just open one eye and close one eye!

I have to say that Prince Alexander really couldn’t figure out his father’s mind. He always failed to find his own position~www.ltnovel.com~ He is not an ordinary prince, he is the prince, and the prince must have a monarch. Look like. His approach seems to be all-around, but what's the use?

To put it more bluntly, it means that you do not seek merit but no demerits. How can such a mentality be a good prince?

Of course, there was no reason why Prince Alexander made this decision. After all, he had just won the support of Menshkov. The relationship between the two parties was very harmonious, and it was Menshkov’s confidant who was dealt with. He had to give the **** chief. A little face, one must take care of his face is not.

Such a mentality naturally made him unable to unconditionally put Gorchakov and Lazarev in the first place, and he would naturally be despised by Nicholas I.

But Archduke Constantine is different. He and Menshkov are already in the same situation. The old **** had put him in a ruthless way before, and he wished the old **** bad luck with a piece of new hatred and old hatred.

So when Prince Alexander expressed his opinion, Grand Duke Constantine was the first to express his opposition: "Father, I don’t think it is appropriate to do this... The war is coming, we must fully trust Duke Gorchakov, and Lazare The general had the same reaction. This matter is all true. Just leave it to them to deal with it... At this time, sending other people over will easily affect the subsequent military operations!"
