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

When Anton heard Count Rostovtsev’s suggestion, he actually didn’t take it seriously. He really didn’t have much interest in working under Count Rostovtsev. One was because he was not familiar with the count, and the other was working under Li Xiao. More comfortable.

No one wants to get out of the comfort zone easily, even if it is an aggressive person like Anton. After all, when he hadn’t met Li Xiao and others before, the working environment was also terrible, and he felt a headache when he thought of going back to the previous working environment.

Therefore, his original plan was that whether it was Count Rostovtsev who said the flowers would still refuse, he wanted to meet Wallachia, or it would be better to follow Li Xiao.

But what Count Rostovtsev said next surprised him. He said: “You are now the deputy chief of the military police under Grand Prince Andrey, right? To be honest, this job is a bit shameful for you. You can be on your own.”

Without waiting for Anton to speak, Count Rostovtsev said to himself: “Of course I also know that it is not that Prince Andrey is not willing to give you the opportunity to be alone, nor is it that Count Speransky does not trust your ability. .”

“The reason why you can’t stand alone is that Wallachia’s structure is too small and can only accommodate those people. To be honest, with the abilities of Grand Duke Andrey, his position as the commander of the military police is also a poor talent. But we all know that because of a certain For some objective reasons, he cannot go further in a short time.”

“And this also hurts you to be the poor deputy chief! I think this is a great waste!”

Anton was said to be stunned, because Count Rostovtsev was right. These objective factors are indeed annoying and helpless, but there is no other way than passive acceptance. After all, Nicholas I was such a czar, expecting him to suddenly re-use Li Xiao’s re-use of reformers like Alexei is a idiot in itself.

Anton was also very upset for Li Xiao, but he could only accept the result, and even told himself that it might be a good thing. After all, there are still many things he can learn from Li Xiao, and there is no harm in studying for a few more years.

It’s just that Count Rostovtsev lifted the lid at once, and there seemed to be a different arrangement according to what he meant?

At this time Anton began to be interested in Count Rostovtsev, he wanted to hear what this scheming Count had.

“There is not necessarily a good opinion,” Count Rostovtsev replied calmly, “Let me persuade your Majesty to change his mind, and I can’t do it. But I can provide you with a new opportunity, and you have seen it. With the downfall of Peter Balek, soon I will start to close the net and try to get Ukraine into my hands.”

After a short pause, Count Rostovtsev sighed faintly: “Although it is a happy thing to take back Ukraine from the conservatives, we have to admit that our strength is still too small. The largest Ukraine is huge. Some positions are still controlled by those conservative guys.”

Speaking of Count Rostovtsev, he sighed again: “The only thing I can do is to try my best to take down those key positions, such as the governor. For example, try to place people in the third department of Ukraine or the police gendarmerie. Very suitable for the latter two departments!”

Anton was stunned, because he thought at first that Count Rostovtsev would take him to St. Petersburg! To tell the truth, he was really not interested, because St. Petersburg powerful people walked everywhere, throwing a piece and turning his head can hit an earl. With his background and qualifications there, he couldn’t do anything at all.

So he is not willing to go to St. Petersburg, and he has no interest at all. But Count Rostovtsev offered a position in Kiev, which is completely different. First of all, here is not as deep as the water in St. Petersburg, and there are a lot less constraints on doing things.

And, as Count Rostovtsev said, it is indeed a pleasure to take back Ukraine, but the conservative forces here should not be underestimated. If they can’t control the core departments, what if there is a governor who is inclined to reform? It will be emptied in minutes, and will become the next Peter Balek!

Therefore, it is particularly important to control Ukraine as soon as possible. If you want to control Ukraine, you must adjust your own people. Count Rostovtsev is right. The reformists are very weak, and they want to adjust so many capable and suitable ones. It is not easy for people to go to Ukraine to preside over the situation. It’s normal to look at him naturally.

If it was only Count Rostovtsev, it would not make Anton so concerned. More importantly, Li Xiao talked with him before and also talked about the importance of Ukraine as Moldavia and Wallachia. In the rear of Russia, once Russia really has military conflicts with Turkey and Britain and France over the Bulgarian issue, Ukraine will be the backer of Moldavia and Wallachia. If there is a problem here, Navalachia and Moldavia will follow. Will be affected.

According to Li Xiao, if possible, it is better to stabilize the rear of Ukraine, not to mention how much help, at least not to hold back. And if you want Ukraine to be stable, you must not talk about it or beg for it, you must have your own people in the middle of the mediation.

The problem is that neither Li Xiao nor Alexei are counted as people in the DPRK, at least there is no way to go to Ukraine. And now that Count Rostovtsev took the initiative to initiate the invitation, and he also promised to the third department or the police gendarmerie department. Needless to say, what is the nature of the role of such a powerful government department?

Anyway, Anton was very tempted, thinking that Count Rostovtsev was right. This is indeed a good opportunity. But he was still a bit hesitant. After all, Ukraine was much better than Wallachia. Li Xiao and Alexei were still suffering in Wallachia, but he was promoted instead. This is a little bit of loyalty.

After hesitating for a moment, he replied: “Your Excellency, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I am very satisfied with the opportunity you have provided, and I am willing to come here, but I am still working in Wallachia after all. I want to hear about it. I will give you an answer from the superior.”

Count Rostovtsev’s impression of Anton is getting better, because most people face this kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they usually have only one idea and that is to win at all costs, and it’s nine out of ten times when they agree to it without thinking about it. People’s choice.

But Anton did not directly agree. Instead, he chose restraint for the sake of friendship and loyalty. This is a very rare quality. People with such qualities are at least not villains…
