Struggle in Russia

After dealing with Sergey's matter, it can be regarded as a solution to Count Rostovtsev's heart problem. Although the way and result of the solution did not satisfy him, it was a turning point after all, and it could be regarded as a good get-together and a good break-up.

Some people may be wondering, why do we have to get together and break up? A person with no eyesight like Sergey can just slap him to death, so why bother to spend so much effort. He was also arranged to go to the Ministry of Finance. Isn't that too cheap, kid?

If you only look at the final result, you may feel a little bit like this. But doing things, especially being a human being, can't just look at the final result. Is it okay if Sergey is crushed to death casually like some people want?

Of course it is possible, Count Rostovtsev has that strength, killing a secretary is just like playing. But is it necessary?

You can't be too extreme. Sergey has been the secretary of Count Rostovtsev in these years, and he has worked hard without credit. Just imagine letting outsiders know that you don't even let your hard-working secretary be spared, and that he will be killed just because he doesn't obey your arrangement. Who would dare to be friends with you after that? Who dares to cooperate with you?

To do so is to cut oneself off from the people! It is absolutely impossible politically!

Count Rostovtsev was neither that stupid nor that terrific, even if Sergey made him unhappy, he would not do such a stupid thing.

Someone might want to say again, can't he be taught a lesson if he can't be killed? He must be made aware of the fate of disobedience to the leader's arrangement. If everyone learns from him in the future, what will he do?

It seems to make sense, but it is still fallacious.

As the saying goes, people have their own aspirations and cannot be forced. People just don't want to stay in Kiev, so you step him into the mud, that's not good. One is that the appearance is too ugly, and the other is also that there will be endless troubles.

If you don't obey, you will step on it to death. If it spreads, it will be just as unpleasant, and it will also have no friends. What's more, Count Rostovtsev said before that he hoped to hear Sergey's opinion first, and wanted to know where he wanted to go.

You can't turn your face on your side immediately if someone tells the truth, right?

In addition, the reason why you say there will be endless troubles is because Sergey is the private secretary of Count Rostovtsev after all, and he has learned too many secrets after working with him for so many years. People resist?

It is conceivable that Count Rostovtsev will be in trouble if Sergey reveals any secrets.

As the saying goes, more is worse than less.

Everyone gets together well, and although you, Sergei, are unlikely to become the leader of the reformists in the future, at least you can still be your own person, which can be regarded as another form of forgetting each other.

After considering various factors, Count Rostovtsev made the final decision. This decision does not necessarily make him very happy, but it is definitely the most reasonable and least troublesome kind. And that's politics.

To put it bluntly, politics is about uniting the majority and attacking the minority. It is not impossible to practice imperial thinking in politics, but it is absolutely difficult. Throughout history, there are still a few emperors who can truly follow their words.

For the vast majority of emperors, they have to learn to compromise and unite, otherwise it is really difficult to do things.

This is true for individuals, and it is even more true for countries. It is really cool for a family to dominate the world. But is that possible? As strong as the British Empire was at its most glorious, he could not be brainless and unparalleled. Instead, in order to maintain his own status and interests, he needed to constantly win over and buy allies and alienate enemies, or he had to unite the majority to attack the main enemy.

See how they dealt with Napoleon and how they dealt with the rise of Germany. Is it really mindless and unparalleled?

That's true, but instead, we can see a British Empire that is constantly throwing money and trying to reconcile the internal interests of the allies in order to contain the enemy.

A single husband can't do it! At least for the time being, I haven't seen any single husband who has achieved a big career.

Count Rostovtsev is naturally not an independent husband, nor does he want to be an independent husband. Since 1825, he has known that Russia cannot be saved by fighting alone, and even some enlightened nobles cannot save Russia.

We must try our best to unite as many people as possible, and make more people realize that poisonous vegetable rule and stubborn conservatism are not good for Russia. Only when most people fight against conservative forces from the bottom of their hearts can Russia have a future.

So he didn't punish Sergey, and even arranged a good place for the other party. He didn't force Sergey into an enemy.

But that doesn't mean he hasn't introspected. He has realized that there are major problems with the way he trains young people. Look at Sergey, who he has worked so hard to cultivate, the final ideal is just an official fan, what's the point?

He began to realize that if he continued this pattern, no matter how hard he tried in the end, he would only gain one new Sergey after another.

This model will definitely not allow him to find a suitable successor, he must find another way!

This is also the reason why he suddenly pulled Anton to his side, because he wanted to see the biggest difference between Anton and the young people he trained. If he can find out the secret of Anton's growth, then he can promote Anton's cultivation model. Quickly and efficiently train enough outstanding young people to continue fighting the conservatives to the end.

Yes, Count Rostovtsev has realized that the struggle with the conservatives does not happen overnight. It is not a victory that will completely defeat the conservatives and completely remove them from Russian politics.

Even if in the future according to his plan, he can win a big victory and take away the conservatives' control of Russian politics. But that doesn't mean the battle is over, nor does it mean they've won. This is just a staged victory. After all, conservative forces have existed in Russia for hundreds of thousands of years. It is unrealistic to expect a single victory to deal with them.

This will be a long-term battle, and it will not be over until more and more young people support reform and innovation, and only when the whole of Russia realizes that conservatism has no way out.

According to Count Rostovtsev's estimate, it will take at least two to three generations. What he has to do now is to make a good start, make a turnaround, or help Russia enlighten. What is more important in the future is the competition for young people, and the conservatives must not be allowed to continue to control Russia's thinking.

After thinking about it, he took out a piece of paper from the drawer and began to write letters. He had to communicate with his political allies. One was to finalize the affairs of Ukraine, and the other was to talk about the future The layout, especially the competition for young people...
