Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 314: Boiling (top)

Kiev is like a big pot being burned on the stove. As the firewood burns, the water temperature in the pot naturally gets higher and higher. And with the arrival of Count Rostovtsev, this pot was finally boiling!

In this pot of boiling water, several forces are mixed in, and they all feel that they are the ones who boil the water, and the enemy is the big fat meat that can be used in the pot. For example, Peter Balek, the governor of Ukraine feels that his life finally has hope for the first time this month.

“Gentlemen, you should all know that the imperial commission Rostovtsev has arrived in Kiev, and there are two grand princes who have arrived together!”

There are quite a lot of conservative disciples and grandchildren in Kiev, and this group of people gathered together to fill the meeting room of the Governor’s Palace. It’s just that the expressions on the faces of these people are more interesting. After listening to Peter Bareck’s introduction, there are some worried, some who don’t care at all, and some who are eager to try. In short, they are the ones who say different things.

It’s just that Peter Balek doesn’t care about the thoughts of these people. In his opinion, without Shuvalov’s hindrance, he is the well-deserved boss of Ukraine, no matter who it is.

He said in a loud voice: “The situation is not good for us! The first thing the imperial commissioner did after arriving in Kiev was to imprison Count Shuvalov. Now the count has been under house arrest and no one can touch him!”

When he said this, Peter Barek was actually quite happy. If it wasn’t for the outdated laughter, he would definitely laugh out loud.

He continued: “As everyone knows, Count Shuvalov has been in charge of this case, and now he can no longer perform his duties. Given the current situation, it is reasonable for me to take over everything.”

As soon as Peter Balek’s voice fell, there was a commotion in the crowd. Needless to say, these people were Shuvalov’s henchmen, and they were very dissatisfied with Peter Balek’s takeover of power.

“Your Excellency, although you are the highest-ranking person among us, Count Uvarov has entrusted everything to Count Shuvalov before. Therefore, who is responsible for the next actions should be decided by the Count. You are so anxiously roaring to take over everything suspected of being overwhelmed!”

Peter Balek was not angry. He knew that Shuvalov’s people would definitely not obey him. But, even if he didn’t agree, he had a good reason: “Sir, are you deaf? I am. As I said just now, the Earl is imprisoned and no one can contact him. At this time, are you going to break into the prison forcibly and ask the Earl to ask if you understand? I think you are stupid!”

Peter Balek’s reason is very good. He just caught Shuvalov’s house arrest and was unable to make a fuss. However, Shuvalov’s men are not stupid. Their reasons are also very interesting: “Yes, your Excellency is temporarily unable to Get in touch with us! But this problem is not unsolvable. Whether it is trying to buy the jailer to get in touch with the earl, or simply trying to rescue the earl, it is our most important task at the moment, and we should act immediately!”

Shuvalov’s meaning is very clear. Since Shuvalov is imprisoned, it is imperative to try to get in touch with each other or simply try to save someone. They demanded to immediately concentrate on making a fuss around these two points. To put it bluntly, they asked Peter Barek to act on these two points immediately!

But the question is how could Peter Barek want to do this? Finally, he looked forward to the chance of Shuvalov being placed under house arrest. Now it is his chance to get rid of Shuvalov and show his fists, let him buy the relationship or save people directly, go to your grandmother’s mouth!

So he sneered and said coldly: “Gentlemen, I must remind you that there is the chassis of the imperial envoys, and all the imperial envoys brought them from St. Petersburg. Want to buy them? Do you have a bag in your mind? Don’t buy it and try to get yourself in. Maybe the imperial commissioner is waiting for us to join the trap!”

After a short pause, he sneered and said: “As for what is the urgent matter? Is this still nonsense? The task that Count Uvarov confided is the urgent task. Count Shuvalov failed to live up to the trust of the Lord because of his own mistakes, not only did not do it. It’s really ridiculous to put ourselves in what we should do. At this time, let us waste precious time and manpower to rescue him. It is ridiculous!”

Without waiting for Shuvalov’s men to speak, Peter Balek waved his hand strongly: “We have only one top priority now, and that is to do the work that Count Uvarov asked us to do well. This is the top priority. Heavy! Everything else must be compromised!”

Peter Bareck said it with awe-inspiring righteousness, but not many people bought his account. why? First of all, he, the governor, is indeed a bit grassy and has no absolute authority. Before Shuvalov was such a powerful person, he was not regarded at all, and he himself did not show a superior skill, showing the authority that the governor should have.

Let’s put it this way, the conservatives in Kiev probably divided into three waves at this time. The wave is headed by Shuvalov. Although they are not particularly large in number, they have a relatively strong ability to act in real power.

Naturally, this group of people is not like Peter Balek. They united around Shuvalov and only obeyed the dispatch of Shuvalov and Uvarov.

The second wave is naturally the people of Peter Bareck~www.wuxiax.com~ Although the number of these people is not small, most of them are slogan heroes. Their attachment to Peter Balek is nothing but a mess.

These people are relatively limited in terms of ability and power at hand, and their mobility is really mediocre.

The third wave of people is particularly interesting. They are not only the largest number, but also have deep roots. Most of them are indigenous aristocrats from Ukraine and Kiev. Although these people depend on the conservatives and obey Uvarov’s command, they are not completely in line with the interests of Uvarov and others.

They followed Uvarov, just to save their lives and wealth status. These people are very cautious and very good at observing words and colors. In short, they are very current. Basically, they follow whoever is strong.

And now the sudden arrival of the imperial commission of Count Rostovtsev has directly disrupted the power structure of Kiev and Ukraine. Let these walls risk fighting against imperial envoys to work hard for Uvarov’s interests. Do you think this is possible?

Therefore, these people will never be strong, whether it is to help Shuvalov or Peter Balek is too risky in their opinion…
