Struggle in Russia

After hearing Bestuzhev Ryumin's words, Grand Duke Konstantin blurted out: "How is this possible? It is impossible for them not to clash!"

Bestuzhev Liumin spread his hands with a wry smile and said, "Your Highness, I have inquired carefully, and there is indeed no conflict. These days, it is completely peaceful! I think... I think you have been cheated!"

Grand Duke Constantine was dumbfounded, his mind was full of question marks, and he couldn't understand why things were like this!

I only heard him muttering: "It shouldn't be! It doesn't make sense! How is it possible!"

He couldn't figure out why Li Xiao and the others didn't fight Berhe, because in his opinion, even if Li Xiao and the others didn't want to fight, it was impossible for Berhe and his gang to be so honest. When did conservatives become so polite to reformers?

After the initial annoyance, Grand Duke Constantine quickly regained his composure. He lowered his head and thought carefully about what happened. It should be said that his IQ was still above the standard, so he soon had a guess.

[Could it be that there is some despicable transaction that I don't know about? 】

To be honest, Grand Duke Constantine felt that this possibility was too low, so low that it was almost ridiculous! A deal between the conservatives and the reformers, even Berge would not agree to it!

It's just that after excluding other more improbable possibilities, this possibility is the only one, and the only one that can explain the current situation is only this possibility.

Grand Duke Constantine thought for a while, and ordered: "Go and ask, and see if there is any contact between Berkh, Kornilov and Muraviyov recently! It is best to bribe Berkh My confidant, find out what happened!"

For Bestuzhev Ryumin, who started out as a secret policeman, this is not too difficult. In fact, he had planted a dark line around Berkh before, but the level of the dark line was too low to reach the real one. Confidential and of limited value. But now he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and let this dark thread investigate the truth.

Before the investigation is completed, Grand Duke Constantine can't do nothing. After all, he is now the acting commander of the Black Sea Fleet. If he doesn't want to be just a transitional commander, he must hurry up and show his ability.

"Your Highness, do you mean to overthrow those two documents?"

Grand Duke Constantine said angrily: "Of course it must be overthrown. How can they agree to it!"

Bestuzhev Ryumin is well aware of the real reason why Grand Duke Konstantin wants to overturn those resolutions,

It's not a private exchange, but he can't handle Kornilov and Naximov, which makes him very upset!

But he still reminded: "Your Highness, it is very risky to do so. If you make a mistake, you will become the unwelcome person of the Black Sea Fleet. How can you take the Black Sea Fleet for your own use at that time!"

Grand Duke Constantine was still angry, he yelled: "No matter how risky it is, it must be done, otherwise, I, the commander, will really be excluded by them!"

Bestuzhev Ryumin sighed immediately and said, "Your Highness, with all due respect, if you must frighten them and then bring the Black Sea Fleet under control, the only way is to transfer Kornilov and With them both, Nasimov, you..."

You didn’t finish what you said later, but Grand Duke Konstantin fully understood what was going to happen next, and he also knew that Lazarev left a deep imprint on the Black Sea Fleet, which made anyone behind him not his student or follower It will be very difficult for anyone who wants to control this fleet.

Look at what happened to Berge, he is the most typical example. Grand Duke Constantine naturally didn't want to be the second Verge, but he also knew that it would be easier said than done to transfer Kornilov and Nasimov away!

Bestuzhev Liuming said again: "Then at least one must be transferred, the two of them have too much influence together!"

Hearing this, Grand Duke Constantine sighed again, only he himself knows, no one can think of transferring him, because his father made it very clear in his will, let him be in charge of the daily administrative work of the Black Sea Fleet , and the command of the fleet, as well as the training and formulation of combat plans, were all handed over to Kornilov and Nasimov. His father is still telling him repeatedly that he must give full play to the enthusiasm and abilities of these two, and strive for a brilliant victory for the Black Sea Fleet.

In other words, Nicholas I has already made proper arrangements for the future work of the Black Sea Fleet. His acting commander is actually like a personal stamp. It is good to take care of a little daily work. The important matters of the fleet should be handed over to Kearney. Love and Nasimov, as long as these two people don't rebel, they will be responsible.

So it is impossible to transfer these two people without even thinking about it, but Grand Duke Konstantin is embarrassed to tell Bestuzhev Liuming the truth about this confidant. After all, it is a bit embarrassing. You can only help Kornilov and Nasimov, what do you call this!

He could only say disconsolately: "Father trusts them very much, and now that the battle clouds are gathering, he does not allow changing generals, so it is impossible to transfer them away for the time being!"

The depressed Grand Duke Constantine somewhat understood the emperor's art of his old father Nicholas I, and understood why they always balance to prevent one family from dominating. Look at the current situation of the Black Sea Fleet. If Lazarev had been checked and balanced earlier, he would definitely not be allowed to be so passive!

Bestuzhev Ryumin didn't know what Grand Duke Konstantin was complaining about. After learning that Kornilov or Nasimov could not be transferred, he also lost interest, because how could he play such a bad hand? Well!

After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Since this is the case, Your Highness, then I can only suggest you to be patient first. I am afraid that you will suffer the disadvantage if you fight against them now..."

What Grand Duke Constantine hates most these years is the so-called forbearance. Has he not endured enough these years? But what did he get? Suppressed by Menshikov, suppressed by Alexander, and now the Black Sea Fleet will still be suppressed by Kornilov and his gang. If he endures it any longer, he feels that he will become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

He said angrily: "Even if there is no full-scale conflict, at least I have to express my attitude, otherwise they won't be able to climb on top of me and drag me!"

Bestuzhev Ryumin hesitated to speak, finally sighed and asked, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

"We still have to find a way to overturn those two resolutions, at least we can't let them be implemented so smoothly!" Turning around, Grand Duke Constantine mentioned this again, and at this time, Bestuzhev Ryumin arranged The dark thread of the party finally found out the news and came to report...
