Struggle in Russia

v3 Chapter 157 - Unexpected result

, The fastest update of struggle in the latest chapter of Tsarist Russia!

The Earl of Aberdeen’s work this time is considered to be unflattering. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of his country felt that his prime minister was inconsistent in his words and deeds, and he was too courageous and embarrassed. But Menshkov and Baron Brunov thought that he was nothing but a liar.

Even the British people don’t like him as the prime minister. They feel that he is too tolerant to foreigners but very harsh to his own people. He is an out-and-out asshole.

Look, this is the end of indecision. The Earl of Aberdeen’s tossing down, in addition to making his supporters become fewer and fewer, it also gave the Russians a very bad impression-this People are unreliable, and they just fart when they talk.

Anyway, Menshkov didn’t believe him very much. In his report to Nicholas I, he said: “…The Earl of Aberdeen has different words and deeds, not like a gentleman. The prime minister has no sincerity at all, personally. I feel that the focus of future diplomatic work should be on the British royal family, not on Whitehall…”

I have to say that Menshkov’s suggestion is terrible, because according to the British Constitution, it is the Prime Minister and the Cabinet that can determine the state of the United Kingdom, and the royal family is a rubber stamp. Because of his distrust of the Earl of Aberdeen, he even suggested that Nicholas I do more work for the British royal family instead of maintaining communication with the British cabinet. This is simply a secluded path if there is a Kangzhuang Avenue, isn’t this nonsense!

But Nicholas I believed in Menshkov’s evil, thinking that the old **** should not deceive him, and he originally thought that the king should be the master of the country’s affairs, even the prime minister is just a senior part-time job of the monarch It’s just a boy and a servant.

So then Nicholas I had no trust in the Earl of Aberdeen, and he wrote to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on his own in an attempt to persuade the United Kingdom through a high-level route.

This is not the worst. What’s worse is that because he didn’t trust the Earl of Aberdeen, Nicholas I ignored the diplomatic signal sent by the Earl. Basically, I didn’t let you say anything. Take care of it, and see what kind of attitude you can have.

Because of the Russian refusal to communicate, since Menshkov left London, the direct communication between Britain and Russia in the field of diplomacy has almost been interrupted, that is, a little formal communication has been maintained, which can only be said to be better than nothing.

As for the friction between the Black Sea Fleet and the Turkish Navy, this incident that caused unprecedented tension in the diplomatic relations between the two countries was deliberately forgotten by both sides. In the United Kingdom, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to stop because of the sudden and powerful suppression of the Earl of Aberdeen. Without the help of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a bunch of ordinary people or even a few newspapers would naturally not be able to accomplish anything.

It’s just that although the storm was calmed down, the impact was far-reaching. The first is the distrust of the Earl of Aberdeen. There are a large number of anti-Russian parties, whether it is the private sector or the cabinet and Whitehall. This result is very dissatisfied. He feels that he is too useless and can’t support the British Empire.

Even a group of centrists who originally held a neutral attitude gradually began to abandon the Earl of Aberdeen and begin to move closer to Lord Palmerston, which directly led to the change of hands of the British Foreign Secretary a few months later, and Palmerston came out again. Served as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

As we all know, Palmerston has always been a hardliner towards Russia. He is naturally impossible to be friendly to Russia when he becomes the foreign minister. That is definitely going to happen.

On the Russian side, although Menshkov also complained about the reckless actions of the Black Sea Fleet in the report, he believed that Kornilov was too reckless and almost broke a big deal. It’s just that this report did not attract the attention of Nicholas I. On the one hand, Menshkov’s complaints were not particularly strong, and on the other hand, because Nicholas I felt that Kornilov was actually doing something. not bad.

Why do you say that?

From the point of view of Nicholas I, whether he sent Menshkov to London or Kornilov’s provocative actions actually enabled him to understand the reality of Britain. He can see from Menshkov’s report that the British are still very restrained. If the British are really ready to turn their faces, how can they be so restrained?

From this point of view, Kornilov’s actions are a magical touch, and he will not be able to find out the bottom line of Britain without doing this!

As a result, Nicholas I determined that Britain is unlikely to turn around because of Turkey, so Kornilov did so beautifully! Even Nicholas I felt that this man was stronger than Menshkov, because what exactly Menshkov did in London, he has already seen in the report of Baron Brunov and the third spy in London-this old man The eunuch’s trial of the British bottom line is not very effective!

To be honest, Nicholas I was a little disappointed with Menshkov, because both Count Rostovtsev and Count Uvarov thought that the old **** was a suitable candidate for testing, and he himself felt that the old **** should not be too bad. , But when he really does it, why is it so unsatisfactory?

If Kornilov hadn’t come to a **** assist to help Menshkov complete the task, Nicholas I would have the heart to call this old guy back to replace someone else to do it.

“Tell Menshkov to be more proactive and active in doing things, don’t be afraid of things, do it boldly, don’t be afraid!”

In the end, Nicholas I decided to trust Menshkov again~www.wuxiax.com~ Maybe he can get the hang of it in Istanbul? If so, he sent someone to Menshkov to remind the old **** to let it go.

And this is a personal order. Menshkov was originally a very dull person. His poor performance in London was not due to his lack of initiative, but he mechanically implemented Nicholas I’s instructions, and he did whatever Nicholas I ordered him to do. , I didn’t use my brain at all.

He was very mechanical at first, and then Nicholas I told him to let him go, so he naturally carried out Nicholas I’s orders even more without compromise. Before Nicholas I ordered him to exert extreme pressure, it would be even more impossible for him to keep his hands now!

In other words, under a series of blunders, Menshkov, an old **** who was an iron man, took Russia directly to the road of no return. If nothing else, he would surely be able to force Turkey. There is no way to go, ignite the fuse of the war.

If Li Xiao knows that what he asked Kornilov to do before will make things uncontrollable and worsen the situation further, then he will definitely be dumbfounded. Because his original intention is really not like this, all this can only be blamed on this old fellow Menshkov for being so weird…
