Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 201: cunning

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

After careful consideration, Shuvanov decided that the two things should be carried out at the same time. He personally went to Sevastopol to deliver the letter, and then let Mrs. Petrovna take charge of Genia.

Some people may find it strange that Shuvanov could obviously send a trusted person to Sevastopol to deliver the letter and continue to stay in Kiev to preside over the situation. Why should he go there in person?

The reason is simple. Shuvanov is very cautious. Although it is still not entirely sure that Titov’s disappearance was a ghost of a hostile faction, he always believes that his disappearance is extremely abnormal, and he must be regarded as an enemy even if there is no evidence. Get your hands on it.

And this letter must be particularly important, otherwise Count Uvarov would not let Titov go there in person, so from the overall situation, he must be personally responsible for this key issue to be relieved.

Moreover, I said earlier that Shuvanov has a vague sense of urgency in his heart. He feels that if he does not hurry to deliver the letter, he may delay major events. Although he didn’t know how this sense of urgency came about, he believed in his instincts.

“Master, which route do you take to Sevastopol?”

Facing the butler’s inquiries, Shuvanov fell into contemplation once again. From Kiev to Sevastopol, there are no more than two routes, either by land directly to Sevastopol, or from Odessa or Nepal. Gulayev took a boat. Before Titov chose the latter route, this route is slightly closer than the former, and it is more comfortable to go to Odessa or Nikolaev without having to go to sea.

After thinking a little bit, Shuvanov said: “Arrange the troops and go to Odessa!”

This decision makes the butler a little strange, because according to the general thinking, since Titov had an accident in Odessa, it can at least explain that it is not particularly safe to go to Odessa. It is better to go by land for safety. Where’s the dish?

Shuvanov smiled and said: “It is precisely because of this that we must go to Odessa to go to sea. If someone is involved in a conspiracy, they will never think that I will choose to continue to Odessa. This is a surprise!”

The housekeeper suddenly realized that he praised Shuvanov’s brilliance again and again, and then hurriedly summoned the staff to prepare for the escort.

Due to time constraints, Shuvanov didn’t even need the carriage on this trip. He hurried out of Kiev with more than 20 guards on horseback, and headed south for Baizerkovy.

There was no need to spend much time on this road, and Shuvanov took the guards to Bezelkovy one day and night. Here he ordered the guards to rest for a while, and then went on the road alone.

Of course, it is not accurate to go on the road alone, but he set off immediately after meeting another group of guards that had been prepared long ago in the city.

“Master, shall we go to Odessa or Kherson?”

Shuvanov answered without looking back: “Kherson!”

Well, this guy is really not the usual cunning, nominally he went to Odessa to take a boat, but in the blink of an eye he took another group of people and went straight to Kherson. The place of Kherson is very important. It is the throat of Ukraine’s entry into the Crimean Peninsula. After Kherson and to the south is the Pilikop Isthmus. As long as you pass through this opening, you will enter the Crimean Peninsula.

In other words, Shuvanov gave a false shot, but in the end he chose to go overland. This guy is not an ordinary chicken thief, and what he says and what he actually thinks is hard to guess.

Not only did he suddenly change his path, he also left a warrant, ordering another subordinate who was similar to his body to take the previous guards to continue thinking about Odessa, making the illusion that he will continue to Odessa. This is coming. Once the Mingxiu plank road darkened Chen Cang, it was a trick of fiction and reality.

After another three days, he rushed to Kherson with his troops and Fengchen, and he was slightly relieved until he entered Kherson. Because he was also worried along the way, always guarding against interception, but fortunately, this bad situation did not happen, and the road was unimpeded and safe.

But Shuvanov was only a little relieved, because he had only traveled two-thirds of the journey to Kherson safely, and there was still one-third of the way to go, and in his opinion, this section should be the longest in the whole journey. A dangerous journey.

Why do you say that? Because Shuvanov knows very well that the Crimea Peninsula is already the territory of the Black Sea Fleet, and the Black Sea Fleet has unprecedented influence on this area including Odessa and Nikolaev. The officials here, large and small, are inextricably related to the Black Sea Fleet.

Is there a problem with the Black Sea Fleet? Isn’t Berkh, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet? Why is Shuvanov so nervous?

The reason is simple. As the person in charge of the third unit of Ukraine, Shuvanov knows the situation of the Black Sea Fleet very well. Although Berch is the commander, there are not many people who persuade him. Korniello Liv and Nasimov are actually more influential. Almost all the people who stayed behind Lazarev listen to these two, but Berkh’s control is actually limited.

It is possible that Berkh, the headquarters of Sevastopol, can really control everything. Outside there, Berkh’s influence is very small. Shuvanov knows very well that Lazarev is a reformist, and his students are naturally inclined to reformists. In view of the relationship between reformers and conservatives, he feels that if there is really an enemy, Jean Di Tov is missing, and the reformists of the Black Sea Fleet are very suspicious. Naturally, as he approaches the sphere of influence of others, the more he should be careful.

Fortunately, Berkh still has some connections in Kherson. The local mayor is his person, and Shuvanov is also familiar with this. So after arriving in Kherson, he immediately sent someone to contact the mayor and ask Related situation.

Why do you just ask about the situation instead of asking for help directly? This is also because of Shuvanov’s caution. He knew that the mayor was actually very eye-catching in Kherson, and he was easy to be spotted if he rushed to contact him. Just in case, don’t go to the door.

“Count, I haven’t heard of anything unusual! Everything in Savastopol is normal. Your Commander is busy fighting the special envoy!”

Shuvanov frowned. No abnormality seemed to him to be the biggest abnormality. Since Uvarov is busy writing letters, it means that the situation is very serious this time and the struggle between the two sides is very fierce. Maybe it’s kind?

However, he did not explain the truth to the mayor, but asked: “Fighting with the envoy? What is going on? Tell me in detail…”
