Struggle in Russia

Earl Vladimir, who was eager to see through, didn’t know that before he was completely subdued, he probably wouldn’t receive those letters of help, because all he could do every day was to wait and avoid debt.

Yes, the spirited Earl Vladimir was a bit miserable. When he, the commander of the city defense army, ordered his subordinates to punish those who didn’t give face, everyone knew that he was just a head. Toothless paper tiger.

The paper tiger can’t bluff people, so it’s because the wall is pushed down by the crowd, and the crowd beats the drum. Whether it is a cat or a dog, they can rush up to give him some color.

Every day, countless creditors waved their bills to ask him for it, and no one would take every one of his orders seriously. He became the center of jokes in Bucharest. Countless stories are born every day around how he hides his debts.

Such a situation made him feel distressed and desperate for life, not to mention continuing to tease his sister. Now he is not thinking about food and fragrant, and he is as emaciated as a depression patient.

“Count, you must pay more attention to your body! Even if you are one-minded, you must be restrained!”

“Haha, I think the Lord Earl may be too busy for business, but for love. Let’s talk about it. Which girl did you try again yesterday?”

Accompanied by a loud joke or sarcasm, Count Vladimir walked into the Governor’s Mansion in embarrassment. It was completely different from the scene when he came here for a meeting last time. Before, all the nobles of Wallachia who could only look up at him carefully greet him He and his colleagues have completely changed faces.

One by one became so disgusting, everyone dared to take him off, one by one was lawless!

Count Vladimir was very angry, and he tried hard to put on the airs he used to, let them know that the skinny camel was bigger than the horse. But this is meaningless, because he has no deterrence after the details have been revealed, and no one will be afraid of him. And his face-saving attitude will only make people think he is even more ridiculous.

“Gentlemen, quiet, now have a meeting!”

It wasn’t until Alexei’s appearance that the cheerful mood in the meeting room was settled. He only coughed and made the noisy meeting room silent, invisibly telling Count Vladimir who was the boss.

“Except for some problems with the city defense army last month, the performance of the other departments is not bad. I hope you will continue to work hard…As for the city defense army, Count Vladimir, I hope you will make adjustments as soon as possible and take care of you. Your subordinates, don’t cause trouble. If you give orders to your subordinates to do some messy things, I will personally tell your majesty to replace you! Understand?”

Count Vladimir wanted to cry without tears, because he dared to confront Alexei on this occasion last month, but this month he could only be trained as a grandson by the other party. It was really humiliating!

Even if Alexei is the governor, even if he has a bit of back recently, he can’t be used as dough at will!

“Your Excellency, I…”

As soon as Count Vladimir was about to resist, he was interrupted by Alexei without hesitation. He continued to teach: “Your Excellency, I am asking if you understand. If you understand, say yes, if you don’t understand, say yes. I don’t understand. I’m not interested in listening to your sophistry, and don’t want to listen to your nonsense! Also, quickly solve your debt problem and don’t let your personal problems affect the overall image of the empire in Wallachia!”

Count Vladimir was so speechless that he was still unconvinced. After the meeting, Alexei asked: “Will he jump the wall in a hurry?”

Li Xiao snorted contemptuously: “Then let him jump and try!”

Seeing that Li Xiao was so emboldened, Alexei didn’t say anything. He changed the subject and said: “Our relationship with Turkey is getting more and more tense. It is said that even the Black Sea Fleet has been dispatched to the strait! “

This situation made Li Xiao also a little worried, because the attitude of Russia recently is a bit strange, a bit unreasonable. He became more and more rude to Turkey, as if Turkey had become a dish on his dinner plate.

This is certainly not the case. Although Turkey is weak and small, its existence maintains the final balance between the Middle East and the Balkans. If this balance is broken, the entire European landscape will be rewritten.

Therefore, neither France nor the United Kingdom wants the balance to disappear. They are very dissatisfied with Russia, which has repeatedly engaged in trouble and pressure. That is to say, Nicholas I is still only on the basis of lip service. If he really does actual actions, then the consequences It will be very serious.

Alexei added: “I also heard that the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean fleet has arrived in the Aegean Sea, and the French Navy is also preparing to take action.”

In fact, this is not something to hear, but it has already happened. Hearing that the Black Sea Fleet was threatening Turkey with majestic power on the other side of the Bosphorus, the British responded immediately and the elite Mediterranean Fleet was dispatched immediately. The Aegean Sea engaged in a contesting exercise.

As for the French fleet, it immediately set sail from Toulon and rushed to the relevant waters. These news were published in the newspapers to ensure that Russia would know it the first time. This can very well explain the attitude of Britain and France.

“This is an obvious warning!” Li Xiao replied with a sullen face, “Then how does the country plan to respond?”

Alexei sighed and said: “Preparing to continue to be tough, the Black Sea Fleet may continue to operate near the strait. The War Department also ordered us to take action on the Bulgarian border…”

Speaking of this, Alexei couldn’t help but vomit, “You talk about what it’s called. At least Neschel Rodia used to stand up and persuade him to fight. The world is not chaotic, what is going on in this world? Do they really think that we have a chance to win the battle with Britain and France at the same time?”

Li Xiao also fell into contemplation, because Neschel Rodie’s recent behavior is indeed strange, completely different from his previous behavior, and logically speaking, it should not be like this. What’s wrong?

For the first time, Li Xiao was a little eager to return to St. Petersburg, because only there can he figure out the whole story and make the right decision. But this is obviously impossible, so he can only sigh:

“Maybe they are all crazy? Forget it, let’s do our own thing first, regardless of their mess, quickly repair the railway, and further expand the military to prepare for the worst!”

Hearing this, Alexei also sighed, because these emergencies have greatly disrupted their governance in Wallachia. According to the original plan, Wallachia should focus on economic recovery for at least five years. Now that it has only been three years, I have to expand and prepare for war. What do you call this!
