Struggle in Russia

Igor immediately became nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What do these bastards want to do again!"

Look at his posture, as long as Count Rostovtsev names the person, Igor will immediately copy the guy to come to have a good chat with these people, and will use coercive means to let them know what it means to be untouchable by a tiger's butt!

Rostovtsev also knew his old friend's temper, so he did not answer but introduced: "As far as I know, they are going to do something in Moldavia, and they are going to have a fight with that Mikhail Sturza Grand Duke have a good talk and let him provide full convenience!"

Igor asked angrily, "How did the Moldavian answer?"

Count Rostovtsev smiled and said, "Do you think they dare to refuse this request?"

Igordun got angry for a while, and cursed: "You useless Moldavian, no wonder the country is in chaos, no wonder so many people oppose him, this trash has no opinions at all! How can he be the head of a country?" !"

Count Rostovtsev didn't say anything, because in his eyes Mikhail Sturza was just a puppet in name only, and he never had the final say on matters in Moldavia.

Count Rostovtsev believes that even if the rebellion in Moldavia and Wallachia is quelled this time, Nicholas I is unlikely to let Mikhail Sturza continue to be the Grand Duke of Moldavia , because his ability is limited and the public is too angry, changing a puppet is a more appropriate choice.

If Li Xiao were here, he would definitely admire the judgment of Count Rostovtsev, because in history, after Russia and Turkey sent troops to flatten the rebels in Wallachia, they directly gave Wallachia and Moldavian The sub-ruling classes were shuffled together. Mikhail Sturza sadly dismissed get out of class and was replaced by Grigory Alexander Gika V as Grand Duke of Moldavia.

It is conceivable that although the domestic rebellion has been basically quelled at this time, Mikhail Sturza's position is very unstable, which means that this person urgently needs support from Russia, so he is similar to Crown Prince Alexander or Mensh Power ministers like Kefu asked him to do something within his power or a little hidden favor, would he dare to refuse?

A little Igor can understand the key. He let out a long breath and sighed: "Fortunately, Grand Duke Andrei did not go to Moldavia. I thought he was too adventurous at the beginning. Now I look at it." It’s because he has the foresight again!”

After hearing this, Count Rostovtsev suddenly showed a puzzled smile, and he taunted slightly sarcastically: "Old friend, your mouth is tight enough! I have asked so many times, but you always say that he is Moldavia, what, did you say something wrong?"

Igor didn't react too much, and replied very frankly: "You never believed it anyway,

Besides, I am also afraid that the people around you are too talkative and unreliable! "

Count Rostovtsev smiled and said: "The people around me are indeed not reliable enough, but can you guarantee that your friends and the people around you and the Grand Duke will be reliable?"

But Igor replied confidently: "I believe in Andre's vision, he is very accurate in seeing people!"

Count Rostovtsev shook his head and smiled again: "Whatever, anyway, the less people know, the better. Also, tell your Grand Duke to let him pay more attention to the cover placed on the border of Moldavia, Mark. Mikjevic is ready to attack!"

Igor was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What's going on? What are they going to do?"

Count Rostovtsev replied calmly: "It seems that they are going to send someone disguised as a bandit to attack your Grand Duke's friend!"

"This is trying to kill people!" Igor suddenly jumped up, and then asked angrily: "Why did you tell me now!"

Count Rostovtsev replied unhurriedly: "Because it's a trivial matter, and it doesn't matter!"

Igor was angry: "How can it be irrelevant! If Mark Mikheevich finds out that Andrei is not in Moldavia, then everything will be ruined! They must do their best to search for Andrei's traces, This is very likely to expose Andre's identity! That will put him in danger!"

Faced with Igor's questioning, Count Rostovtsev still had no regrets at all, and he replied calmly: "But it will take at least a few months, and the Wallachian rebels don't have a few months." It's time."

Igor choked, and asked in a daze, "Nikola has decided to do it?"

"Yes, Vladimir Titov has been ordered to send a note to Turkey, demanding that the two countries immediately take all necessary measures to restore order in Wallachia! If Turkey refuses, Russia will also take unilateral action!"

Igor frowned, and asked: "It's not right! Didn't you say two days ago that Nicholas accepted the suggestion of Prince Alexander Gorchakov to put pressure on Austria and force the Austrians to agree to our cooperation in Wainwha? Do Lachia and Moldavia have a special status? Why not wait for an answer from the Austrians?"

Count Rostovtsev spit out two words indifferently: "Press! Blackmail!"

"What you said about putting pressure on the Austrians and blackmailing Turkey are the same thing, and they can be done at the same time! And this is also Nesselrode's ghost idea. He just wants to make things urgent and give Alexander Gorchako Husband's work is causing trouble, so he doesn't have enough time to operate!"

Igor snorted contemptuously, and said disdainfully: "That German is still such a stinking character! He never put Russia's interests first, and only wanted to poach our corners to make cheap for the Austrians... His Majesty Alexander and Neil Gula is blind to make him prime minister and foreign minister!"

Rostovtsev didn't join in complaining, he seemed completely indifferent, which made Igor feel a little frustrated, and he also complained about him by the way: "You too, just watch this German humbug What a mess, as Nikolai’s chief adviser, is that how you make plans? Is that how patriotic you are?”

Count Rostovtsev just raised his eyelids and glanced at Igor, and instead of losing his temper, he replied calmly: "No matter how bad Nesselrode is, it is worse than Peter Volkonsky or Maine." Guys like Shikov are strong! It's easy to get rid of the Germans, but who will replace him? Replace him with a worse idiot?"

This remark immediately made Igor speechless, because Rostovtsev was right. There are not many people who Nicholas I can fully trust. After replacing Nesselrode, those who benefited must be those The most staid and conservative old antiques, not the capable factions like Duke Vorontsov and Duke Gorchakov.

"Okay, my friend, politics is not as simple as you think!" Count Rostovtsev stood up and seemed ready to leave, but Igor was dumbfounded when he finally explained:

"What I meant just now is very simple. Tell your Grand Duke to step up his activities in Bucharest and search as much as he can, because he doesn't have much time left to scrape the land. After passing this village, there will be no such shop!"
