Struggle in Russia

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

Nicholas I, a face-saving emperor is the most difficult to serve, because such an emperor has very strict requirements on his courtiers, such as the case just now. It was him who obviously wanted to replace Berkh, but he was also the one who was so desperate that he didn’t want to admit that it was not a good idea to use Berkh before.

In short, to be a courtier of this kind of emperor, you have to bear hardships and stand hard work to get things done, and you have to take the initiative to scold the emperor, so that the emperor has both lee and face.

And Uvarov just missed this point, so it made Nicholas I very upset. Like Count Rostovtsev, he must first shirk that it is difficult to find a substitute, and even if they find it, it is not that they are really better than Berkh.

In short, replacing Berkh is not compelling. It is our Emperor who has a long-term vision. As for making Berkh the commander of the Black Sea Fleet before, his majesty is also the emperor’s foresight, it is all reasonable!

It is so difficult to serve as a courtier for Nicholas I. You must have the determination to be a cow and a horse and be called upon by an improper person, and you must also have the dedication to take the initiative to help the emperor. You must put the emperor first and think about the emperor in advance, otherwise?

Otherwise, now Uvarov is a lesson from the past!

The old guy got a blank eye, and completely lost the right to speak on this question, because then even if he spoke better than sang, Nicholas I would definitely not listen to him.

In this round, Count Rostovtsev won the victory easily, but he was not particularly happy, because he wanted to send his favorite wife to the throne of the commander of the Black Sea Fleet. There was a hard way. go.

So who does Count Rostovtsev want to recommend?

In fact, the candidate he prefers is familiar to everyone, and it is nothing more than Duke Constantine. Some people may be surprised, isn’t Count Rostovtsev not optimistic about Grand Duke Konstantin? Why is this reversible?

It’s not that Count Rostovtsev’s **** has changed. He said he is still not optimistic about Grand Duke Constantine at this moment, and still does not think that this Grand Duke can become a prince or a czar, and even step back to say that he does not think of him. Can help reformists seize power to carry out nationwide reforms.

On these issues, Count Rostovtsev has never been optimistic about Grand Duke Konstantin. He always felt that this Grand Duke was a little bit lucky in terms of ability and character. He was destined to be the savior of Russia.

As for why he was recommended to be the commander of the Black Sea Fleet this time, the reason is very simple. For the time being, he is the only one among the reformers who still hopes to take over this post. The rest of the naval generals who favored or supported the reformists were not less capable than him, but it was useless to be stronger than him. It was difficult for Nicholas I to agree to other reformist generals to take over the Black Sea Fleet, but he could barely agree with Grand Duke Constantine. In charge of the Black Sea Fleet.

Count Rostovtsev knew very well the personality of Nicholas I. The reason why Berkh took over the Black Sea Fleet last time was obvious. He did not want the Black Sea Fleet to continue to fall into the hands of the reformists. He really was worried.

So letting Grand Duke Constantine go to at least dispel Nicholas I’s worries, even if he supported the reform, but Count Rostovtsev knew that Nicholas I still trusted his sons very much.

“Do you think Kosca is the most appropriate replacement for Berkh?”

Sure enough, when Count Rostovtsev made this suggestion, Nicholas I hesitated, or he was surprised, because he never thought that Count Rostovtsev would recommend Grand Duke Konstantin.

In this regard, Count Rostovtsev explained: “Prince Konstantin is the most appropriate candidate at this stage. First of all, he has a good relationship with the liberals. Naturally, the liberal officers of the Black Sea Fleet will not dislike him. Let him smoothly integrate into and take over the fleet without causing great turmoil!”

“Secondly, His Royal Highness Constantine was originally in Moldavia, and he has a better understanding of the situation there, and he is also very close to Sevastopol, so he can take up his post and start work soon. The existing problems of the Black Sea Fleet.”

Nicholas I was stunned, and inevitably began to be tempted. According to the explanation of Count Rostovtsev, it seems more appropriate to let the Grand Duke Constant go?

Nicholas I’s hesitation and enthusiasm were so clear at a glance, Uvarov naturally saw it really, and the old guy suddenly became anxious.

why?

As the leader of the conservatives, it took him so much last time to regain control of the Black Sea Fleet, and now Count Rostovtsev actually wants his most annoying Grand Duke Constantine, who supports reform, to succeed Berkh. , How can this be tolerated?

Suddenly Uvarov blurted out his objection: “It’s not appropriate! Grand Duke Constantine is not suitable. Although the Grand Duke has these advantages, he has no experience in managing and commanding the fleet, and hastily handed over the Black Sea Fleet. It is too irresponsible to manage him!”

It should be said that Uvarov was indeed pressed, otherwise he would definitely not be so reckless, because Nicholas I would be very upset to speak like this!

For Nicholas I, it is true that Uvarov’s words have some truth. Duke Constantine really lacks experience in managing and commanding fleets. UU read www.uukanshu.com, but Duke Constantine is his favorite son after all. , You actually said directly in front of a father that his son is not good enough, aren’t you looking for it to be boring?

Especially people like Nicholas I who are so desperate to save face, they don’t like to hear such words even more. So when Uvarov’s voice fell, his expression changed drastically. If he had given Uvarov a three-point face before, and just didn’t wait to see him deal with him coldly, then Nicholas I would be a little annoyed with him now. If it weren’t for the Count of Rostovtsev to rob him, he I’m afraid Uvarov will be scolded.

So what did Count Rostovtsev say?

He said: “This statement is wrong. As the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Grand Duke Konstantin has assisted Prince Myanshkov in managing the navy for many years. He is quite familiar with naval affairs. How can he lack management experience?”

Uvarov’s words were truly speechless. He was also anxious to forget this in his life just now. Archduke Constantine did serve as the second child of the Admiralty for many years. You have to say that he has no management experience. It’s a bit unreasonable.

Well, Uvarov reluctantly recognizes this, but what he just said is lack of experience in managing and commanding the fleet. The latter one can’t get away with the Grand Duke Constantine, right?
