Struggle in Russia

Just do it. After making up their minds, Kornilov and Nassimov immediately concocted an extremely intense and almost arrogant radical plan, and then immediately sent the draft to each other in the name of the Black Sea Fleet Staff. Nicholas I, Menshikov and Grand Duke Constantine.

Why was it issued to Nicholas I? Didn’t they just tease Menshikov and Grand Duke Constantine? Wouldn't it be unnecessary to send the plan to Nicholas I?

That's definitely not the case!

It is very necessary to send it to Nicholas I, because both Menshikov and Grand Duke Constantine are old swindlers, and their methods must not be underestimated!

For example, even if Menshikov kicks back the radical plan, Grand Duke Constantine will still find ways to trick people, such as asking Kornilov and Nasimov to formulate a plan that is not exciting enough to confuse things.

Then when Nicholas I realized that the effect was not good and asked about it, Grand Duke Constantine conveniently left all the responsibility to Kornilov and Nassimov, saying that the reason why the Black Sea Fleet failed to show strong enough was entirely due to Because these two people are too cowardly!

The radical draft was sent to Nicholas I, and it was sent in the name of the Black Sea Fleet Staff. Nicholas I immediately knew who made this plan. In the future, this plan was rejected. Even if Grand Duke Konstantin asked Kornilov and Nassimov to formulate a relatively stupid plan, the responsibility would not fall on them.

Nicholas I could only chase Menshikov and Grand Duke Constantine and ask why they were not strong enough and why they did not use the powerful plans of Kornilov and Nassimov. At that time, it was the turn of those two to argue.

Therefore, it is very important to do things in advance so that the leaders who are doing things cannot find faults and exert their influence. If you deal with it passively, the result will definitely be that you are played around in circles, and then you are as tired as a dog and can't even get enough.

But now, no matter what Menshikov and Grand Duke Constantine do, no matter what tricks they play, they can only bear the final blame.

It's just that although this can solve a big trouble, neither Li Xiao nor Kornilov nor Nasimov like the result. They prefer that everyone work together to solve the problem, rather than being divided internally and trying to deceive others or evade responsibility. This is really meaningless. Even if they can evacuate themselves, there is no sense of accomplishment.

Li Xiao sighed and said: "Who doesn't want to be able to unite as one? But look at Menshikov and Grand Duke Constantine, have they ever thought of uniting? One only wants to fool things, and the other They just want to attack dissidents. Talking about unity with them is not easy to seek skin from a tiger, it is meaningless!"

Kornilov and Nassimov nodded,

I also agree with Li Xiao's statement. During this period, they have seen too clearly that the entire Russian superstructure is in shambles. All decision-makers only care about their own one-third of an acre of land and only think about personal gain. How can they have any execution ability like this? ?

In this way, even if the decision of the top decision-maker is correct, whether it can be effectively implemented in the end is a question.

What's more, the decision-making of Nicholas I, the highest decision-maker, is still very problematic. You can imagine what the final result will be!

Anyway, Li Xiao felt that according to the way this group of people worked, the final result would be that they, a group of people with clear minds and who also wanted to do things, would be exhausted to death. Look at the ending of Kornilov and Nassimov in history, that is a typical representative.

It's just that it's enough to know these things in your heart. Even if the three brothers hold each other's hands and cry together, apart from venting some grievances, it has no meaning in solving actual problems. All they can do now is to avoid being led into a trap!

Grand Duke Constantine did not know that his eager rush to Sevastopol was of no use. His original plan was to rush to Sevastopol and use his powers as acting commander to give Kornilov and Nassy When Moff digs holes, he must at least wear small shoes.

But who would have thought that Nassimov and Kornilov would come up with the draft in the name of the Black Sea Fleet Staff in advance and send it around the world. At this time, he was more passive. It was impossible for him to control those two. What was worse was that he had not received the draft in advance. After all, Kornilov and Nasimov could not predict him in advance. He was on his way to Sevastopol, so the draft was sent to his residence in Kiev.

In other words, Grand Duke Constantine's enthusiasm caused him to completely miss the key information. If he had not been so proactive and saw the draft in advance, he would have understood that a trip to Sevastopol was a waste of energy. Meaningless.

Maybe he would go directly to Moldavia immediately, and there would be no need to be happy in vain.

It can only be said that this person's luck was bad enough. When he rushed to Sevastopol to hold a meeting of senior military officers, he learned of the existence of this draft and was stunned on the spot!

Because he immediately realized that it was impossible to make trouble, because Kornilov and Nassimov had filled in the biggest hole. They not only filled in the huge hole, but also set up a trap for him with their backhand. Animal trap. If he continues to cause trouble regardless, he will definitely step on the bear trap!

After holding it in for a long time, he was doused with ice water and asked Kornilov and Nasimov unhappily: "You two, although I am the acting commander, you still have to report such an important event no matter what." Let me know!"

This guy was going to cause trouble at first glance, but this loophole did not exist, because Kornilov and Nassimov immediately told him that the draft was in triplicate, and gave it to him, Menshikov and Nikolai respectively. First, the reason why he didn't see it was entirely because he was away from Sevastopol for a long time. Even so, they sent a copy to Kiev in advance.

Grand Duke Constantine was so reviled that he was speechless. He knew that this fault could not be found, but he really felt uncomfortable. Think about it, he came over excitedly and had high hopes, but he couldn't accomplish anything. If it were you, he would be just as depressed.

So he could only continue to find fault: "Even so, you made a decision on such a big matter alone, without consulting me at all, and directly informed the Minister of the Navy and the Emperor in the name of the fleet. This is also It’s not appropriate!”

This is a typical case of finding faults when nothing is wrong, that is, looking for faults based on incorrect procedures. However, loopholes to this extent still do not exist. With Li Xiao's reminder, how could Kornilov and Nassimov make such a stupid mistake!
