Struggle in Russia

"Your Majesty, and dear sirs, I think that given the current situation, we should first solve the problem of the Caucasus. The Armenian brothers are being poisoned by pagans. As the only objects they can rely on, we should first rescue them!"

Chernyshov's eyes on the Caucasus is a bit surprising, because as a representative of the "military clique", he logically should adopt a more radical strategy. Only by being more radical can he expand the scale of the war and give the following generals waiting to be fed. We have the opportunity to receive awards.

However, he did not choose a radical strategy, but chose the relatively conservative Caucasus region. Why?

The reason is simple, because whether it is Chernyshov or Menshkov, the most important reason why they can be ministers of the army and navy is obedient. These two are actually very average, but they are absolutely obedient, and they are the best at comprehending the mind of Nicholas I.

Otherwise, think about it, why would an **** and Chernyshov, who had not been successful in combat, be the boss of the military in such a big Russia? A large number of senior generals who are more senior than their seniority, what is Lazarev, what is Belins, what is Vorontsov, which one is not a hundred times stronger than these two pieces of waste wood?

And this is exactly what Nicholas I used to control the talents and achieve the goal of balance. Now, Chernyshov and Menshkov will certainly try to figure out the master’s mind and give the answer that Nicholas I most hoped to hear.

Yes, although what Nicholas I wanted most was Serbia or a major breakthrough in the Balkans, but now he has not forgotten it, knowing that it is impossible to slap Turkey to "recover" Constantinople. of.

The risk of continuing to do things in this area is relatively high. If you can't do it, you will lose all the games. So although Serbia and Bulgaria are very attractive, his only rationality can restrain greed.

The Caucasus side is not so sensitive. Although Turkey and Persia are also very sensitive to that piece, they are not gunpowder kegs like the Balkans. Doing things over there is at most affecting the nerves of Turkey and the United Kingdom. It is not too difficult. It can make a lot of profits. It is totally worth a try!

It's just that the "honorable group" also has something to say. They are more inclined to do things in Serbia or Bulgaria, whether it is to incite Bulgaria to a high degree of autonomy like Wallachia and Moldavia. Whether to instigate Serbia's independence simply will help greatly increase Russia's influence in the region.

Once the goal is achieved, Russia's sphere of influence will greatly expand to the south, almost touching the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, laying a solid foundation for the complete settlement of Turkey in the future!

"Gentlemen, I do not approve of teaching Persian pagans at this juncture. Right now is a god-given opportunity to make strides forward in the Balkans. If Turkey can be forced to allow Bulgaria to a high degree of autonomy, or help the Serbian brothers to win independence, this will achieve our country for several generations. The last wish of the first emperor!"

"On this basis, in the future, we will solve the Turkish pagans in one fell swoop, and the complete restoration of the holy city will be a matter of course! How can we miss such a god-given opportunity!"

It is rare for Peter Volkonsky to be so excited. This is not in line with the personality of the old man. Why did he suddenly change his **** when silence was golden in the past?

In fact, this guy didn't change his character, but because he owed the favor to Count Rostovtsev, he had to act aggressively. If according to his temperament, this kind of mess is too lazy to participate!

But who makes Count Rostovtsev face up? He can barely bite the bullet.

As soon as the old guy's voice fell, before Menshkov and Chernyshov objected, Duke Ordov also preempted to say: "Duke Volkonsky is very reasonable. This is the liberation of the Balkan Slav brothers. We must not miss this opportunity given by God. If such an opportunity is missed, even God will not tolerate it!"

If Peter Volkonsky was entrusted to do so, then the attitude of the Duke of Ordorf is very strange. Could it be that he was also given work by the Count of Rostovtsev?

No, it can only be said that the heroes saw the same thing. Like Count Rostovtsev, Duke Ordorf was also a rare wise man in the cabinet of Nicholas I. Although he was also the confidant of Nicholas I, he was different from the old eunuchs who were only foolish, mediocre and mediocre. The ability and level of this man was still outstanding.

At the beginning of the argument, the Duke of Aldorf realized that it is not so easy to really convince Nicholas I. Don't look at the czar who just rebuked Neschel Rodiet, as if he was very determined.

But Nicholas I’s determination is time-sensitive. At this time, the blood is on the brain, he will be a little impulsive, but after a while, after calming down, Nicholas I will probably change his attitude again. Luo Die was doing useless work.

What's more, the Duke of Aldorf knew that Neschel Rodie's level was far more than that. He was caught off guard just now, because outnumbered opponents are just two fists. Once he was relieved, this one's back punch was also very powerful!

So we can’t give Nicholas I time to calm down the Buddhist system~www.ltnovel.com~ and we can’t let Neschel Rodi have a chance to breathe. The matter must be finalized immediately, so the best way is to advance instead. Continue to exert pressure to force Neschel Rodie to make a quick decision, without giving him a chance to go back!

How to do it Naturally, he proposed a more radical strategy, which greatly exceeded the psychological expectations of Neschel Rodie and Nicholas I, and then bargained with them on this basis, and finally both sides stepped back, and then the matter was settled!

It has to be said that it is still a smart person like the Duke of Aldorf who can better control the rhythm. That is to pinch the bottom line and mind of Nicholas I and Nessel Rodie. Count Rostovtsev instigated Peter Volkonsky for the same reason. He also saw through the hearts of the two and knew how to achieve the goal.

Obviously, Menshkov and Chernyshov are too far apart in this regard. Although they know where Nicholas I’s bottom line is, they don’t know that they can’t go straight to get this guarantee. Roundabout, everyone knows that it's only possible to do things in the Caucasus, but how can you show your own reserve price when you bargain?

If you do this, you still have room for risky bargaining. If you follow their approach, I'm afraid it will be impossible to get involved in the Caucasus in the end...
