Struggle in Russia

Neschel Rodie was stunned by the curse. How many years have passed since he was reprimanded like this last time he can't remember when. Especially this time when Nicholas I broke out so suddenly, there was no sign at all, so he was caught off guard!

In short, Neschel Rodie was stunned, so he stayed at the scene, his eyes were as big as a copper bell, and his face was full of astonishment and humiliation.

Yes, it is humiliation. Although the emperor and his ministers are absolute superiors and subordinates, even the existence of the Tsar's monopoly must save face to the Prime Minister. Such a face-to-face reprimand is really an insult, and maybe the one who is very angry will just hang on.

Especially the European nobles have a tradition of duel these days. If it is between equal ranks, in the face of such a humiliating and shameful humiliation, Neschel Rodie will have to throw gloves. It's just that, once this old man is not good at using force, he doesn't like to draw a knife for communication like Bismarck. In addition, he has been in politics for these years, and his face is not generally thick.

So humiliation is humiliation. He did not choose to hang on to the title and resign altogether. He did not even choose to argue with Nicholas I. He just sat back in silence and said nothing, swallowing all the grievances back to his stomach. in.

I have to say that this old guy does have two brushes, at least he can stretch out and don't care about momentary honor or disgrace. Such a talent is the most terrifying.

Compared with this kind of tolerable old fox, the kind of reckless man who drew a knife when he didn't agree with each other was not terrible at all. For example, Pushkin was such a character that was designed by Nicholas I to die directly and was completely meaningless .

Human beings have unlimited possibilities when they are alive, and they can't do anything when they die. In this respect, Neschel Rody is indeed a human being.

And this kind of humiliated and silent performance made Nicholas I immediately apologize. This old yin force suddenly regretted it a little, and felt that although the old man Neschel Rodie was annoying at times, he could be considered conscientious over the years, and it seemed a bit too much to humiliate him like this.

Seeing whether it is, this is the level. Neschel Rodie is advancing by retreating. He silently bears it and does not speak a word, but it is better than speaking loudly. At least it has restored some of his position in the heart of Nicholas I.

Of course, these were all seen by Count Rostovtsev, and he was not surprised. He has worked with this old fox for so many years. He knows the ability of this old guy very well. He hopes that this little trick will completely defeat him. Is impossible.

Count Rostovtsev was not disappointed either. When the battle between him and Neschel Roddy was going on for a long time, compared with the old guy who was able to control everything steadily before, now he is getting more and more powerless.

Today Nicholas I’s attitude has clarified many problems. Obviously, the position of the old guy in Nicholas I’s heart is not so stable anymore. Today, it is only because of his forbearance and restraint and Nicholas I’s soft heart that he can barely get through. , But the problem is that such blows will become more and more frequent in the future, and he does not believe that this old guy can pass the level safely every time.

What's more, today's goal has basically been achieved. Although Nicholas I regretted being too strict with the old fox, he was not led by the old fox. Austria must have to peel off this time!

In fact, Neschel Rodie also realized this, but now he could only gritted his teeth and was anxious in his heart, and did not dare to speak. Otherwise, he was worried that he would offend Nicholas I, and that would really be called Xie Cai.

The meeting continued, but the focus of the discussion has changed from whether or not to put more pressure on Austria in order to obtain more benefits for Russia, to how to put pressure on Austria and what kind of political benefits it seeks.

In this regard, not only did Nicholas I have no idea, but his courtiers had different opinions. In general, it can be divided into three groups, the "traitor group" headed by Nesher Rody, the "military group" headed by Chernyshov and Menshkov, and the Duke of Ordov and Peter. The "Honorable Group" headed by Volkonski.

The intention of the "traitor group" is naturally to reduce Austria's pressure as much as possible, and to minimize Austria's fundamental interests. Naturally, the benefits that can be sought for Russia are quite limited.

"Can we discuss with Austria and promote the real independence of Wallachia or Moldavia from Turkish rule as soon as possible? In this way, our protection of Wallachia or Moldavia will be more thorough and comprehensive. Consolidate the benefits our country has gained in this military operation."

The abacus of the "traitor group" is very simple. Since Wallachia and Moldavia have inevitably cut off with Austria, since Austria’s loss in this direction is inevitable, it does not matter if the loss is greater. Up.

If you can use such a small profit to dispel the greed of Nicholas I, it can be regarded as a kind of protection for Austria. In this way, Austria will not hurt the roots, and the regional geopolitical map will not undergo earth-shaking changes. Generally speaking, the original relative equilibrium can be maintained, and natural coordination can still play a role.

It’s just that Neschel Rodie’s plan is good, but the "Military Group" and the "Xungui Group" are not fools. He knew what the old fox wanted to do as soon as he opened his mouth~www.ltnovel.com~ They only talked about Nicholas I. How could they be satisfied with such a small profit?

It's not enough to stuff your teeth! Your old fox has a bad conscience! Never agree!

The "Military Group" and the "Xungui Group" immediately jumped out and strongly opposed it, and their reasons were quite good.

The Duke of Ordorf said: "We have reached an agreement with Austria and Turkey on the issues related to Wallachia and Moldavia. How can we change it day by day? If the original agreement is suddenly torn at this time, it will be greatly affected. This damages the reputation of our country, and tearing up the agreement at this time is likely to affect our upcoming military operations. It is really not worth the loss!"

Chernyshov also strongly opposed: "Even if you can persuade Austria and Turkey again, your Prime Minister's courage is too small. According to your proposal, it is Wallachia or Moldavia that can gain independence. Either of the two, we have spent so much effort, burdened with the infamy of violating the agreement, and only allowed one of the two principalities to gain independence. This is a joke!"

Nicholas I suddenly changed his face. Obviously, the speeches of the Duke of Ordov and Chernyshov said he was upset, and he was not satisfied with the proposal of the "traitor group"!
