Struggle in Russia

"Struggle in Tsarist Russia Novel ()" Find the latest chapter!

Nesselrode knew that he would have to deal with it very carefully next time, and it was very likely that he would be sadly resigned because of a single sentence. Special attention must be paid to speaking well of Austria, at least to make Nicholas I feel that he is not speaking well of Austria.

"Such incidents are indeed very bad, very appalling, and unheard of." Nesselrode used several adjectives in a row, but still spoke good words for Austria: "Austria has also realized the seriousness of the problem, the ambassador Mr. Wang immediately expressed deep condolences and deep apologies to me. They were shocked by the misfortune suffered by our diplomats in Austria, and they expressed that they would do everything possible to catch the murderer as soon as possible..."

Nesselrode tried his best to express Austria's apology and sincerity, but Nicholas I was not interested in these nonsense, because he had already known everything through the Duke of Ordorf, and he could clearly see the performance of the Austrian ambassador. In vain, that guy has a woolen apology!

Nicholas I knew that the Austrian ambassador simply expressed his so-called apology on paper. He just wrote a letter to the Russian Foreign Ministry, saying nonsense like very sorry. The bastard didn't even offer to meet him to apologize in person. Is this sincere?

On the contrary, after Nesselrode's Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave him a symbolic note, this guy ran to have a private chat with Nesselrode. As for whether he sincerely apologized, it was hard to say, anyway, Nicholas I did not I believe that what the two of them were talking about was about apology. I'm afraid it was more about asking Nesselrode for advice on how to calm things down and fool things around!

And this is what Nicholas I was most dissatisfied with: Lao Tzu's ambassadors were assassinated, and you didn't say anything?

This wasn't what made him most dissatisfied, what made him most angry was that the bastard Nesselrode was sitting on his ass completely crooked. This guy is obviously his prime minister and foreign minister, and the reason is to serve his and Russia's interests. But this guy is completely on the side of Austria. Even this kind of bad incident is helping Austria to fool him. You can imagine how much this guy is biased towards Austria in other incidents!

This made Nicholas I unbearable, he was so disappointed in Nesselrode!

It can only be said that Nesselrode is too unlucky, or that he has been the prime minister and foreign minister for too long and blocked the way of too many people. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Duke of Aldorf to report his every move to Nicholas I in advance, so that his usual tricks would directly encounter Waterloo.

Even, at this time, he still doesn't know what went wrong, which is even more pitiful, because he can't even fix a dead sheep. He could only stand there blankly and be taught a lesson by Nicholas I:

"For the Foreign Office to stand up like a man, to really show the majesty of Russia, the Austrians must know the seriousness of the problem,

If you can't do it, I will change someone else to do it. I believe that many people can fulfill my expectations beautifully! "

"As for sending people to Austria to investigate the case and catch the murderer, you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, your foreign ministry is not good at it. Let the third department do it. I believe they can do it well! Now your only and most important task is to express My anger, I want to let the Austrians know that the majesty of Russia cannot be provoked!"

Nesselrode staggered out of Nicholas I's study with as much vicissitudes as he wanted. It was really a sense of déjà vu that a newcomer replaces an old hero at the end of his life. Anyway, no matter whether it was the guards of the Winter Palace or the close noble ladies and ladies, they immediately began to gossip about the news vigorously. For everyone except Nesselrode's party, this seems to be worthy of special mention.

Is Nesselrode about to fall?

Not yet.

So is he falling out of favor?

This trend is obvious. In fact, in the past two or three years, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Nesselrode's status with Nicholas I was getting worse day by day. It's not entirely because the newcomers are better than the old ones. After all, Nicholas I still favors those old courtiers, not because he likes the new and dislikes the old.

There were really two reasons why Nesselrode fell out of favor. One is that his political policy deviated more and more from what Nicholas I wanted. When Nicholas I was dissatisfied with his current status and wanted to be the well-deserved boss of the Holy Alliance, and wanted to break through Russia's international status obtained by relying on the Holy Alliance and the Vienna system, he would unknowingly break through Nesselrode frame, contradictions are unavoidable.

There is also another secondary reason, that is, Nesselrode, the prime minister and foreign minister, has been in office for too long. He has always shouldered the two most important positions in the cabinet. Do you think other people will be happy?

If Nesselrode had been wiser in the past few years and had voluntarily given up the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the pressure might have been less. Unfortunately, he just refused to let go, which made him less and less popular, and made the few people at the top of the Russian power Interest groups are targeting him and hitting him like a target.

For example, this time, without Duke Alexander making trouble in Austria, and without Duke Aldorf exposing his background and making small reports about him, how could he be so passive?

The most frightening thing is that all this happened so naturally, but Nesselrode was always kept in the dark. He thought that his opponent was only Duke Alexander, but he didn't know that there was Duke Aldorf behind him who was sniping. The slanderous Duke Peter Volkonsky, and even Count Rostovtsev are waiting for an opportunity. With so many top bosses trying to mess with him, do you think it is possible for him to win?

Nesselrode's biggest problem now is that he has too few allies. It can even be said that, except for Nicholas I, who does not want to completely change the political ecology of the ruling and opposition parties, no other family likes him.

When you're politically alone, what do you do to turn things around?

Overnight, the political winds in Russia changed. From being so close to Austria just now, he became strict with Austria again. The Austrian ambassador was severely reprimanded, almost scolded, making it impossible to see that this is an ambassador of a country, but like a Russian vassal.

This cold north wind blew directly to the Danube from the Neva River, making the chill brought by the first snowfall in Vienna even more biting.

Especially for Schwarzenberg, the diary became more and more difficult. He quarreled with some old-fashioned nobles because of the abolition of the emperor, and the cold air in Russia blew him away. His heart is so cold that he has a feeling that the house is leaking and it is raining continuously...
