Struggle in Russia

There is some truth to what Li Xiao said. Count Vladimir did have a hard background and was really scary, but the undeniable fact is that he is just a Bucharest defense commander.

This so-called city defense commander is very important, but it is not so important that it is easy to worship. After all, he is not even the commander of the Wallachian garrison, and he is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks.

Let’s put it this way, Alexei gave this guy a bit of color, it was for the face of Nicholas I. But Alexei didn’t give him any face, that is normal.

After Li Xiao reminded him, Alexei remembered this, and suddenly felt a little settled. He asked a little suspiciously: “The following guys can understand our intentions?”

Li Xiao smiled and replied: “Don’t underestimate those bureaucrats, their ability to understand the intentions of superiors exceeds your imagination!”

Alexei was stunned, because he felt that in Wallachia or Bucharest, there might be bureaucrats, but there could not be so many bureaucrats. At least under his governance, the officials of Wallachia were competent officials. Or a clerk, but at least it won’t be too messy, right?

This made Li Xiao burst into laughter. After laughing for a while, he stood up and put his arms around Alexei’s shoulders and said, “This is the most funny joke I have ever heard. My friend, if you were Seriously, then I can only say that this is dangerous. You’d better walk around in your car regularly, this will help you get to know the real Wallachia!”

Alexei was obviously in a daze, because he felt that he had done a good job in the past few years. He didn’t know everything about the ups and downs. At least he knew what he knew, but how did he listen to someone as if he was in an ivory tower?

This made Alexei very insecure. He began to examine his past two years. Could it be that he was really being praised and lost his sense of crisis.

It’s just that before he has cleared his thoughts, Li Xiao said directly: “The matter of understanding the situation is not that complicated. Next time you go out, take a few people with you, take a regular carriage, and then turn around. Now let’s settle the matter of Count Vladimir first!”

In fact, there is nothing to solve, because the solutions are readily available, at least Alexei’s secretary casually hinted at the heads of the following departments, and then Alexei had a few meals with Count Vladimir in public. Everyone knows what to do.

And this opportunity soon came. After the day turned, the Governor’s Palace met to discuss how to implement Nicholas I’s will to put pressure on Turkey. Count Vladimir was not generally active at this meeting. He was always active from the beginning. Think of yourself as the protagonist or master, as if all around him are his followers who can be assigned at will.

“Your Majesty’s will must be carried out, and more troops should be sent to the border, not only in the direction of Bulgaria, but also in the direction of Constanta!”

“When necessary, you can use force to frighten the Turks and let them taste our power!”

Count Vladimir was talking endlessly while observing the expressions of others in secret. Alexei was expressionless and he couldn’t see anything. As for the others, they were respectful and even sincere.

This undoubtedly made Count Vladimir very satisfied, feeling that he had become the governor. He is convinced that after a while this is not a feeling, but a fact!

Immediately he slandered Arkady a few words in his heart, thinking that the other party was procrastinating, and if the other party was able to do things a little more neatly, he might be the Governor of Wallachia now.

Thinking about it, Count Vladimir looked at Alexei and licked his lips quietly. Now it was more and more difficult for him to conceal his greed.

“inappropriate!”

Just when Count Vladimir wanted to get into trouble, Alexei used a sentence to bring him back to reality, and he relentlessly rejected Count Vladimir’s proposal.

“Our forces are limited. We have to maintain the stability of Wallachia and put pressure on Bulgaria. Now it is our limit. There is absolutely no possibility of continuing to increase troops or even threaten Constanta!”

“Only idiots who know nothing about military can make enemies on three sides. Our main task now is to ensure the stability of Wallachia, and actively cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to pressure Turkey. No other superfluous self-assertive things are allowed!”

Alexei’s words were very hard, and he almost completely denied the opinions of Count Vladimir and put him down there.

In this scene, everyone in the congregation was stunned for a moment and then secretly began to exchange glances. Everyone was an old fox who was well informed. How could the gossip from the Governor’s Mansion be unknown. They weren’t sure before, because Count Vladimir’s background was so big that no one would dare to be tough.

But look at the current posture, Alexei and Count Vladimir’s relationship is not harmonious or even incompatible. The rumors that the former wants to clean up the latter are probably true!

For a while, I felt a little bit like sitting on pins and needles with the congregation. I felt that this would not be easy. After all, one was the illegitimate son of Nicholas I and the other was their immediate boss. They were all god-like figures. They could not afford to offend either. Don’t dare to offend, what do you let them do if you are caught between these two people!

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly dropped a few degrees again, and UU Read www.uukanshu.com seemed like an ice cellar. Count Vladimir gave Alexei a gloomy look. His eyes were full of cold light. He was very angry at Alexei’s irresponsible provocation. He wanted to make him immediately. Know who is the boss!

“What is this nonsense!”

Count Vladimir slapped the table and yelled: “This is equivalent to doing nothing. It is simply passive, slack and not enterprising! We must act immediately, without delay for a moment. I ask for immediate action after the meeting. There must be no further delay!”

While talking about Count Vladimir, he glanced provocatively at Alexei, as if saying: “How can you do me!”

But immediately he was overturned, because Alexei’s reply was: “Your request is not approved!”

This sentence is more useful than a thousand words. Count Vladimir was dumbfounded. He did not expect that Alexei’s reply would be like this, because it was totally beyond his expectation.

He felt that Alexei was more likely to argue with him. In short, it was a big fight, but he never thought it was like this. He felt like a monkey in a circus, and he was slipped around… …
