Struggle in Russia

Grand Duke Konstantin's good mood disappeared immediately, because repairing defenses and mines were the two things Li Xiao told him that Kornilov and Naximov valued most. When they talked about cooperation before, Grand Duke Constantine fully agreed to this in order to stabilize Li Xiao and others, but in fact he had already secretly planned in his heart, and was going to use these two things to blackmail Kornilov and Nasimo Husband, force them to submit.

You see, this is the most authentic Grand Duke Constantine, talking like farting, if it doesn't count, it doesn't count.

It's just that he has his Zhang Liang plan, but Li Xiao also has a wall ladder. From the very beginning, Li Xiao never trusted this guy, especially after this guy made a name for himself in besieging Uvarov's messengers, Li Xiao realized that this guy must be full of bad things!

So after getting Berge and Razumovski settled, Li Xiao immediately proposed to Kornilov and Nasimov—make another deal with Berge, whether he should be held accountable or not. The previous bad thing in exchange for his agreement to pass the two important things on the side.

At first, Kornilov and Nasimov were reluctant, because it meant that the rotten Berge had to be let go, and there was no way to pursue his previous mistakes. Isn't it a bit of a loss outweighing the gain?

In Kornilov's words: "We have already reached an agreement with Grand Duke Constantine, and he has fully agreed to our request. Why make a deal with Berge?"

Li Xiao replied with a wry smile at the time: "Grand Duke Constantine is unreliable at all, and this time there is no better candidate, so we can only let him be the acting commander... But we must guard against him, this person is likely to mess up Famous! And those two things are too important to allow for any mistakes, so it’s better to settle Berge first, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"

After Li Xiao's patient persuasion, Kornilov and Nasimov finally let go of their promises, so they settled the two matters earlier, which made Grand Duke Constantine very happy.

Obviously, he was very disappointed, so he pulled his face down on the spot and asked unhappily, "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard of it at all? How can such an important matter be so trifling?"

If Kornilov had any objections to Li Xiao letting Berge go, now he heard Grand Duke Constantine's questioning, his heart skipped a beat, and then he let out a sigh of relief—he could also hear it. Well, Grand Duke Constantine's voice was very strange, obviously annoyed that Berge agreed to these two things.

It is conceivable that if he really planned to keep his promise, he would definitely not use this kind of tone at this moment. Only when he had a wrong idea in his heart, and now that his plan failed, would he be so disappointed and so annoyed.

It's just that Grand Duke Constantine's questioning is the wrong one.

Berge didn't like him at first, but now he was angry with him because he was robbed of his position. Naturally, he was even more angry. I saw that he was desperate and turned back:

"Children's play? What's the matter? This is a consensus formed by the fleet's meetings. Everyone agrees that these two things must be done and must be done immediately... As for you don't know, this is more normal. Before you I'm not the head of the Black Sea Fleet, so I don't need to tell you these things!"

Well! Grand Duke Constantine's mentality exploded, what is yin and yang, what is face-to-face slapping, Berge's words are all there, and he is so angry that he can't hit one place.

What's even more irritating is that Grand Duke Constantine couldn't get angry on the spot, and he couldn't even turn back. And he still can't say that the two things you agreed to have nothing to do with me, and now I firmly disagree!

If he dared to do that, it would be a lot of fun. The first to bear the brunt was the face-off with Kornilov, Nasimov and Li Xiao. This is planning to blatantly breach the contract. If this is the case, then Li Xiao, Kornilov and the others can immediately turn their backs and deny him, and directly rebel against him, the acting commander, so that he can't take care of himself.

After all, Grand Duke Constantine is just here for the first time, and the Black Sea Fleet is not yet under his control. As long as local snakes like Kornilov and Nasimov take the lead in opposing him, it goes without saying that Lazarev's protégés are absolutely old. They will all stand on the opposite side of him, so Grand Duke Constantine can't do anything in a short time.

This is obviously not in line with the original intention of Grand Duke Constantine. He hopes to integrate the Black Sea Fleet under his command as soon as possible. If it really falls out, it will become an impossible task.

This is still the first article, and the second is that after all, these two matters are matters that have been approved by Berge through legal procedures and have formed a resolution. It's not that Grand Duke Constantine couldn't object at all, but if he really objected, he would have stepped on the red line.

The reason why Li Xiao and the others tried their best to oppose Shuvalov to bury the nails was because they were afraid that they would do a bunch of messy things reasonably and legally and interfere with the normal operation of the fleet. As long as it was signed and agreed by the fleet commander Berge, it would be quite troublesome to revoke or overthrow it later.

Not to mention the complicated procedures, it will make people think that you don't follow the rules, and you don't even give your ex a little face, and you are doing things like death and government.

Regardless of whether your starting point is good or not, just doing this will make outsiders have a lot of opinions, so it is generally not a last resort. Don't just completely overturn the decision of your predecessor, it will be too ugly to eat like that!

It's the same with Grand Duke Constantine. He can indeed find a way to overturn the resolution passed by Li Xiao and others, but the price he pays will be extremely heavy. Unless he has a hard head, he can only pinch his nose. admit.

So after being ridiculed by Berge sarcastically, Grand Duke Constantine could only hold back even if his heart was aroused for the time being. Of course, he must have revenge, not only revenge but immediate revenge.

At that time, he thought in his heart: [OK! Let's see how long you can be proud, the first thing I do when I come up is to thoroughly review every bit of you, and when I catch you, you won't even be able to cry! 】

Obviously, this guy is also a ruthless person, but what he didn't expect was that that night, after the so-called handover and welcome ceremony, when he asked Bestuzhev Liuming to investigate the details of Berkh At that time, another basin of cold water was poured on him.

"Your Highness, I have inquired about it. There was no direct conflict between Berge and Kornilov and others before. Sevastopol has been calm these days, and nothing has happened!"
