Struggle in Russia

Viscount Prozolov is different from Grand Duke Constantine. He doesn't have so many "entanglements". If possible, he is even willing to cooperate with Li Xiao and Alexei. For him, as long as he can achieve his goal, he can do whatever he wants.

But Grand Duke Constantine was different. He wouldn't even look at the people he hated or his father hated, let alone cooperate with them.

Therefore, Viscount Prozolov was not sure of persuading him to cooperate. What's more, this was just Viscount Prozolov's unilateral wishful thinking. He didn't even figure out who the other party was, so how could he talk about cooperation?

So he asked Petrovna: "Madam, do you really have no clues about these mysterious visitors? If we can find them, it will be extremely beneficial to us!"

Petrovna said to herself that I have no clues, but I can lead you to see them, but they are not willing to cooperate with you at all! So even if I agree to take you there, it will be of no use.

At this time, Viscount Prozolov suddenly said: "If you can provide relevant clues, then I will definitely put in a few good words for you in front of His Highness, and then you won't have to worry about going to St. Petersburg!"

To be honest, Petrovna was very tempted, but her reason still prevented her from doing so. Because she remembered Anton's warning and the danger she experienced this time. Perhaps selling Anton to Viscount Prozolov is attractive for the time being, but this will undoubtedly offend Anton and his group.

Petrovna has a deep understanding of the energy of Anton's group and knows what terrible consequences it will have. What's more, she has decided to make three mistakes. It is safe for her to leave more escape routes.

"Really?" Petrovna pretended to be very interested in Viscount Prozolov's proposal, and asked with stars in her eyes: "If I can find clues, your Highness will really support me?"

Viscount Prozolov laughed dryly and said: "That's natural. As long as your clues work, Your Highness will never be stingy!"

Petrovna seemed to be impatient, and she eagerly replied: "Then I'll give it a try. If there's any news, I'll let you know right away!"

Viscount Prozolov continued to laugh dryly and encouraged Petrovna a few words, but his expression immediately fell after Petrovna turned around and left.

"Count Shuvalov doesn't even have any clues. You think you can find it! That makes me think you have clues here!"

Apparently Viscount Prozolov thought that Petrovna had concealed clues, so Count Shuvalov went to find her.

But after discovering that Petrovna had no clues, he immediately lost interest.

For him, instead of hoping that Petrovna would be lucky and suddenly find clues, it would be better to have a good chat with Grand Duke Konstantin about future plans. After all, there is nothing that can be done in Kiev, so rather than waste it here Time, it is better to quickly expand territory and establish meritorious services in other places.

"I'm ready to leave too. I'll go to Sevastopol the day after tomorrow. Will you go with me?"

Viscount Prozolov frowned and looked at the listless Grand Duke Constantine and wanted to say: "What are you doing in Sevastopol? Are you uncomfortable?"

In the view of Viscount Prozolov, Grand Duke Konstantin, the acting commander of the Black Sea Fleet, is simply a sinecure in name only. Especially when he has already broken up with Kornilov and Nassimov, going to that end is simply asking for trouble. .

And what can you do if you go there? With Kornilov, Nasimov and others colluding with each other, Grand Duke Constantine, the acting commander, is more like a rubber stamp. If you insist on interfering regardless, you will definitely be asking for trouble. It will be even more embarrassing when the time comes, okay!

Viscount Prozolov believes that Grand Duke Constantine should go to Moldavia now, where he can show his talents.

"Your Highness," Viscount Prozolov hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but remind him: "With all due respect, going to Stopol outside Seychelles at this time is meaningless. It is simply a waste of time!"

Grand Duke Constantine's face immediately turned ugly. It was obvious that Viscount Prozolov's outspokenness made him feel uncomfortable. If he were in the past, he would definitely not show any kindness to Prolo's grandfather Viscount, and he would probably scold him on the spot.

However, considering that Viscount Prozolov has performed very well recently, he at least played a mainstay role in the Kiev incident, not to mention taking the most credit. At this time, scolding him seemed to be too out of character and disrespectful to the meritorious officials, and it would give him a bad reputation.

He suppressed his displeasure and replied coldly: "No matter what, I am the commander of the Black Sea Fleet. My father has entrusted me with the management of this outstanding fleet. How can I ignore it!"

It can only be said that Grand Duke Constantine did not learn the advantages of Nicholas I, but the disadvantage of being obsessed with face was that he learned a decent way. Obviously, the reason why he went to Sevastopol was because of his pride. He wanted to prove that he was the boss of the Black Sea Fleet. Even if Kornilov and Nassimov had already lifted him up in the air, he still wanted to prove that he was the boss of the Black Sea Fleet. You need to act like the boss and give them some color.

Viscount Prozolov sighed secretly. He wanted to tell Grand Duke Constantine that you were trying to save face and suffer. What was the point of doing this?

However, it was indeed difficult to notice the expression on Grand Duke Constantine's face, so he tried to speak as tactfully as possible: "Your Highness, the Black Sea Fleet is naturally of first-class importance, but don't forget that His Majesty also handed Moldavia over to you. I gave you governance... Now you have been away from Moldavia for several months. As the governor, I am afraid that this will cause criticism again!"

Grand Duke Constantine was stunned, as if he had just remembered that he was still the Governor of Moldavia. To be honest, he had no interest in that shabby Grand Duchy at all. If he had not had any other choice, he would not have asked to go there. Be the governor of a place where nothing matters.

Compared with Sevastopol and the Black Sea Fleet, Grand Duke Constantine felt that Moldavia was not even a plus, but Viscount Prozolov's words were not unreasonable. After all, he was the governor there. , it is indeed a bit unsightly to have been missing for several months.

Why don't you go for a walk?

This idea came to Grand Duke Constantine's mind, but he was still very resistant. He didn't want Moldavia, he wanted the Black Sea Fleet, and he wanted Kornilov and Nasimov to know who was the Black Sea Fleet. The boss, if he doesn't give them some color, he really can't swallow his bad breath!
