Struggle in Russia

Anton was stunned, because he never expected Count Rostovtsev to say such a thing. It is true that the earl was right. It is definitely the most favorable plan to overthrow Peter Barek and take down the position of Governor of Ukraine.

But is it that easy?

This is the governor of Ukraine, and he can be regarded as the top official in Russia. You can take such an important position if you want?

In Anton's view, even if you are Count Rostovtsev, you are a great man, but it may not be so easy to get your hands on the position of Governor of Ukraine. What's more, this time it's still a tiger's mouth. Isn't it even more difficult to defeat Uvarov and prevent Grand Duke Constantine from making trouble?

"You find it difficult?" Count Rostovtsev asked with a smile.

Anton nodded subconsciously. He felt that Count Rostovtsev might tell him that this was a piece of cake, and then he gave a set of plans with a wave of his hand, and then he just followed suit.

It's just that what Count Rostovtsev said next surprised Anton: "It's really difficult, but it's interesting when it's difficult, isn't it?"

Anton is probably greeting the female relatives of Count Rostovtsev's family. You made the relationship more difficult for fun! Isn't this sick? It's just crazy!

Now Anton's feelings towards the Earl suddenly became very bad. He felt that this Earl was a bit unreliable no matter how he looked at it, and he was full of opinions on his boss who asked him to lay hands on this kind of psychosis.

And Earl Rostovtsev seemed unaware of Anton's dissatisfaction, and calmly ordered: "Your task is to do what you have been told before, and you don't have to worry too much about the rest. There are new ones. I will send someone to look for you. If you find anything, please contact my personal secretary Sergey. Don’t come to me directly if there is no emergency. I guess the flies in Kiev will circle around me. , my relationship with your Grand Duke cannot be exposed, you should understand!"

Anton had no objection to this either. Count Rostovtsev didn't feel very good to him anyway, and it was in his favor to have less dealings. Immediately, he left happily, as if he had escaped from the tiger's mouth.

"Your Excellency, Major Anton doesn't seem to like you very much!"

Sergei, Count Rostovtsev's secretary, joked with a smile. The count just shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Obviously he thinks I'm unreliable, that I'm not a man of the heart!"

Sergey was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "He probably doesn't know that you have been planning all this for a long time,

Thought you were impromptu, right? "

Speaking of this, Sergey suddenly asked: "How do you plan to start? I think you took down Count Shuvalov so forcefully, probably because you aimed at Peter Barek!"

Count Rostovtsev smiled slightly, and did not directly answer Sergey's question. In his opinion, this question is too simple for his private secretary who follows him every day. If he can't even see this, It really was a waste of his training all these years.

"What do you think Peter Barek would do without the constraints of Shuvalov?"

Sergey replied without hesitation: "I think the governor will definitely not continue to tolerate being subordinate to others, and will definitely try to take over everything."

Count Rostovtsev smiled again. Obviously, he thought so too. From what he observed today, it is basically certain that the relationship between Peter Barek and Shuvalov was very tense. Love was full of resentment over him. If the conflict between them was used well, the power of conservatives in Ukraine could be disintegrated in minutes.

"You send me someone to closely supervise Shuvalov around the clock. You must make sure that no one can pass on information to him. I want him to become deaf, blind and dumb! By the way, it is best to use our own hands, Ukraine. People, even the people sent by the Duke of Aldorf to assist us are unreliable, and the key things cannot be entrusted to them!"

Sergey froze for a moment, and asked, "You can't even rely on Duke Aldorf's people?"

Count Rostovtsev glanced at him. He knew that his secretary was good at everything, and his mental experience was considered top-notch. The only problem was that he lacked experience at the grassroots level and had no definite understanding of the dangers of the human heart.

So he specifically explained: "Do you think the Duke of Aldorf is reliable?"

Sergey thought for a while and replied: "At least for the time being, he should be reliable in dealing with Count Uvarov, and he is unlikely to trip us up!"

Count Rostovtsev said with a chuckle: "In general, being reliable is no different from being unreliable. If you can't be 100% sure about a question, then it's best not to put all your chips on it, or you will lose." Not worth a penny!"

Without waiting for Sergey to speak, he continued on his own: "It is true that the Duke of Ordorf may not have a conflict of interest with us on the issue of dealing with Count Uvarov. But you must consider the interests that are touching, Ukraine It's a big piece of fat, if we can bite it, the Duke of Aldorf can't bite it?"

Sergey was taken aback again, and hesitated: "You mean, he also has thoughts about Ukraine?"

"I don't know if he has any thoughts, but I know that the greed in human nature must not be underestimated. What if the Duke of Aldorf becomes greedy? Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, be more careful in such a big matter Not a bad thing!"

Sergey nodded honestly, but Count Rostovtsev could see that he didn't have a particularly deep understanding of this. Obviously he felt that Duke Ordorf was still reliable, or he had something in his heart. Such a fluke, I don't think it's a big problem.

This is the difference between the greenhouse flowers that have not experienced wind and rain and the natural wild grass outside. Count Rostovtsev knew that if he asked Anton or Li Xiao the same question, the two of them would definitely not choose to trust Duke Ordorf completely, and they would be more or less defensive, even with the possibility of that guy Li Xiao Both defenses are possible.

In contrast, Sergei seemed a little immature, and Count Rostovtsev frowned immediately. Although he believed that Sergei would carry out his orders 100%, what he wanted was not just to carry out that order. Simple, because the execution is also divided into degrees, there are special executions, and there are perfunctory executions...
