Struggle in Russia

Please note that this is still not Count Rostovtsev's total calculation. As a wily man, he calculated very deeply and took all factors into consideration. Even if Count Shuvalov transformed into Tai Ritian, he could defeat Grand Duke Mikhail, Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov by himself. As well as other conservatives with different hearts, Count Rostovtsev is also pinching his culprit!

Don't forget what he said to Grand Duke Constantine before, as long as there is conclusive evidence to prove that Count Shuvalov has a definite relationship with the case, he will still be arrested.

At that time, whether there is any definite evidence depends on what Count Rostovtsev said. He said that if there is, it will be there, and Earl Shuvalov will not be given a chance to resist.

Then some people may be very puzzled, so why did Count Rostovtsev make such a move? What is this picture?

Quite simply, Count Rostovtsev believes that in order to completely control Ukraine, the conservative forces in Ukraine must be hit hard. Otherwise, the fundamental problem cannot be solved simply by parachuting a governor or the heads of several other departments.

Only when this group of goods are tidied up so that they are incapable of being monsters, will they stop and be incapable of making trouble.

Although the conservatives were hit hard with a set of combined punches before, their strength is indeed very strong, and they can only be regarded as flesh and blood injuries at best. It's far from hurting the muscles and bones!

So Count Rostovtsev released Shuvalov, which seemed to give Count Uvarov a chance to save face and give the conservatives a chance to stand up, but in fact, after reading the previous analysis, you should know that at this time Shuva Love's role definitely does more harm than good.

At this time, Shuvalov's appearance was completely negative, and the help to the conservatives was actually very small.

So can Shuvalov see through Count Rostovtsev's scheme?

It should be said that it was difficult, or even if he could see it, he couldn't resist it, because Count Rostovtsev's plan was completely a conspiracy.

Think about it, can someone as proud as Count Shuvalov accept the result of Grand Duke Mikhail crushing him?

He has spent so much effort and done so many things, if he is overwhelmed by Grand Duke Mikhail at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of work!

Besides, the reason why the relationship between him and Peter Barek was so stiff at the beginning was not because he was overpowering that guy and was unwilling to share the benefits with Peter Barek.

Even Peter Barek, the governor, dares to look down on him. How much respect do you think he has for a weak grand duke like Grand Duke Mikhail?

It is almost certain that

Count Shuvalov will never give in to Grand Duke Mikhail, nor will he be willing to fight, nor will he be convinced by the previous failure. After he comes out, he will definitely try to turn the situation around and reunify Ukraine. Conservative forces.

So, do you think he can avoid conflict with Grand Duke Mikhail and other scared conservatives?

With his domineering character, will he be merciful to those who disobey him?

Count Rostovtsev can conclude that Shuvalov will definitely set off a bloody storm within the Ukrainian conservative forces, and then they will inevitably fight among themselves, and then he just needs to wait for these people to kill each other to the death, and finally turn over The so-called victor, already weakened, was done.

This set of tricks of driving tigers and wolves to the fisherman's profit in the end may not be very clever, but it wins because it is a conspiracy and there is no way to defend against it. Unless Shuvalov could restrain the greed in his heart, even if he saw through Count Rostovtsev's arrangements, he would willingly jump in.

He would even find thousands of reasons for himself as excuses, for example, he would defeat Count Rostovtsev at the last moment and turn the defeat into victory, for example, he thought that in Kiev, only he could take care of the overall situation and be able to wrestle the Earl's arm.

In short, he will use various reasons to convince himself, and then take the risk. Of course, if he fails in the end, he will not feel that there is anything wrong. Instead, he will feel that he has done his best, and even if there is no credit, he should have worked hard.

A selfish person like Earl Shuvalov has always been more lenient than himself and others. As long as it is beneficial to him, no matter what he does, what kind of irreparable damage he has caused in the end? Bad results are all right.

On the contrary, everything that is not good for him, even if the final result is to benefit the country and benefit the people, is too bad for him.

Count Rostovtsev has grasped the psychology of people like him, so it is easy to catch a king in a can against them.

Sure enough, after Count Shuvalov was released, although he felt that Count Rostovtsev's sudden release was very strange, but after learning about the recent situation in Kiev, he was ready to take strong measures to "reverse the situation" as the count expected. situation".

Yes, when he wrote to Count Uvarov about the matter, he excused himself by taking drastic measures to reverse the situation. It's as if he is the savior, as long as he makes a move, everything will be fine.

It's just that this is just a fantasy. The problems in Ukraine are much bigger than he imagined. Although there is no Peter Barek in the way, there is an extra Grand Duke Mikhail, although this Grand Duke is actually not as good as Peter in terms of power and intelligence. . Barek, but Grand Duke Mikhail has an absolute advantage.

Who made him the son of Nicholas I, and he was also a deputy imperial envoy! It is self-evident what these two titles represent, at least for those conservatives who have been tortured by the recent bad situation and really don't want to continue messing around and just want to live in peace and stability, following this Grand Duke is at least safe!

But Shuvalov didn't see it that way. He felt that insurance was meaningless to change the disadvantages. If you can't turn defeat into victory, it is a complete failure.

So after he came out, he immediately summoned his confidants and former subordinates, and by the way, sent a message to other conservatives, asking them to follow his orders immediately, without any prevarication or delay.

Shuvalov's strength is a bit unexpected, but this is also his brilliance. He is well aware of the pressure brought by Grand Duke Mikhail's background. If he is not decisive and strong, and uses decisive means to let these guys know that only he can give orders, then these guys will probably use Grand Duke Mikhail as a shield, and may even use Grand Duke Mikhail to fight against him.

At that time, if Shuvalov went to argue with Grand Duke Mikhail, he would be passive. He could only give orders like this without saying a word, let these guys know how ruthless he is, and let Grand Duke Mikhail Only by knowing his determination can he avoid that kind of passivity.
