Struggle in Russia

In terms of decisiveness, Shuvalov has nothing to criticize. He knows that he can't hesitate or compromise in the slightest, otherwise in the current situation, as long as his momentum softens a bit, things will be very troublesome later.

In fact, it was similar to his estimation. His toughness left a deep impression on the conservatives in Kiev and Grand Duke Mikhail. These people hesitated about his almost unreasonable orders.

For the conservatives in Kiev, they more or less remembered Uvarov's order and knew that Shuvalov was the person appointed by Uvarov to preside over the situation. As for Peter Barek and Grand Duke Mikhail, they are all temporary substitutes for Shuvalov.

To put it bluntly, these two substitutes are extremely unqualified, especially Peter Barek, who is simply a mess and has not played the leading role at all.

As for Grand Duke Mikhail, although he has not actually played a leading role, nor has he presided over the overall situation. It can only be said to be a temporary psychological placebo found by the conservative forces in Kiev under special circumstances.

But the sincerity of his placebo is a bit of psychological comfort. He watched Peter Barek being ruined but secretly rejoiced. Later, he tried to attack the Shuvalov team who didn't buy it, saying no. To put it mildly, this is also a little expert in the nest.

Anyway, these two people have almost no positive effects, and they are full of negative effects. If the conservatives in Kiev had a choice, they would definitely not be chosen to stand up and take charge.

Compared with these two people, Shuvalov is actually much more reliable. Maybe he has some problems, such as selfishness and so on, but his ability and level are much better than these two people. Much more at ease.

It's a pity that God's will tricks people, Shuvalov's luck is too bad, he was eaten to death by Count Rostovtsev from the beginning, and he took the best time to restore the situation, and waited for him to be released At that time, the situation was already irreversible.

No matter how powerful he is, in this case, there is actually nothing he can do except introvert. And many conservatives have already seen it. No matter who comes up to make troubles, it's useless. This game can only be honest.

So these people feel that it is better to have a smooth transition than a wave of internal strife, and forget it after a while. Although Grand Duke Mikhail's ability level is limited, he is still qualified as a transitional leader. Instead of tossing about and wasting strength, it's better to follow him in a smooth transition.

Under the influence of this kind of thinking, this group of more sensible conservatives naturally had opinions on Shuvalov's practice of making troubles as soon as he came out. Naturally he hesitated!

It should be said that their hesitation is justifiable, and it is inexplicable that Grand Duke Mikhail also hesitated.

This child is still too naive and naive, and has never been beaten by society. How can you be frightened by Shuvalov? Since you want to make a difference in Kiev and fight for power in Kiev, then naturally you have to fight Shuvalov.

They haven't punched yet, they just yelled twice to scare you, your psychological quality is a little bit too much!

In fact, it is easy to understand. After all, Grand Duke Mikhail has not experienced this kind of struggle for power and profit, and his naive thoughts are reasonable. After all, who was born in the royal family, how did he know that every step up in society would face strong competition. As long as you are a little softer, countless pairs of feet will step on your head and use you as a stepping stone.

Having never experienced this, he thought that there would be harmony and humility and love. Who would have thought that Shuvalov would show his ferocious fangs just after he took the stage, and he would naturally be terrified.

What's more, this kid actually didn't have a real overall plan in mind. He didn't really have a plan for what to do when he came to Kiev. He didn't know what to do. This step by step was basically a step by step, and he saw what he could get. When he got it, he stretched out his hand to pick one, and he was secretly happy when he got it, and he was not necessarily disappointed if he couldn't get it.

This dispensable mentality affected his performance,

Before Shuvalov was not there, Peter Barek collapsed again, so it didn't matter what he did. Anyway, the conservatives can only mess up, and it doesn't matter what happens to him.

But as soon as Shuvalov came back, he said not to mess up and continue to fight, so Grand Duke Mikhail couldn't adapt. On the one hand, he really had no goal and didn't know where he was going to take his people. On the one hand, Shuvalov's strength reminded him of his goal when he first arrived in Kiev. At that time, he could only be a troublemaker hidden behind the scenes, who could help Shuvalov and allow Crown Prince Alexander to see him working hard. It's a pleasure to help out.

Naturally, first he was startled by Shuvalov's high-pitched tone, and on the other hand, he remembered the original purpose, so he naturally beat a drum in his heart and didn't know what to do.

This is about Grand Duke Mikhail. Fortunately, he is not fighting alone. By his side, he has united a group of timid conservatives in Kiev and Fei Odor is such a loyal friend and adviser.

When Fyodor heard that Grand Duke Mikhail was hesitant to retreat and was ready to accept as soon as he was ready, he severely stopped Grand Duke Mikhail: "You are not doing this out of consideration for the overall situation, but because you are timid and afraid of getting into trouble!"

This sentence pierced into it, pointing directly at the truth about Grand Duke Mikhail's cowardice, and then he continued: "If you choose to back down at this time, it means that all your previous efforts will be in vain, and it will only make the previous choice Those who believed in you are disappointed! Is this how you repay their trust when they put all their hopes in you?"

Grand Duke Mikhail was a little confused by the training, because he felt that Fyodor had been advising him to be cautious and not to get too involved in Kiev's affairs. It stands to reason that he chose to give in at this time and the other party should appreciate it. , why give him a scolding meal instead?

"At this time and at that time!" Fyodor explained earnestly, "Although I still don't agree with your actions in Kiev, I have to admit that your adventure is still rewarding. If you give up at this time, then Wouldn't it be a waste of work if all previous efforts were wasted?"

After a short pause, he smiled wryly and said, "If you choose to give up now, not only will you lose all your previous achievements, but you will also disappoint everyone who sees what you have done. I can affirm that if you do this, In the future, there will be no one who believes that you will make a difference and is willing to serve you!"
