Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 387: Deep chat (middle)

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

Li Xiao’s series of questions stunned Anton, and it took him a while to sort out the logical relationship. To put it bluntly, it is actually simple. Someone thinks that the czar is unreliable. If the reform is completely pinned on the czar, once it changes slightly, everything will be useless.

This kind of thinking is not a big deal in this era, at least it is a bit surprising, especially in the backward and conservative Russia, questioning whether the monarch is properly heresy is really too individual.

For the Russians of this era, rushing to the top is to mention enlightened despotism. As long as the king can achieve this, it will be fortunate. As for sending the king to the guillotine and launching a democratic revolution like France, it is really a bit scary, and it can be classified as a devil.

That is to say, it was Anton who was in attendance. If someone else is changed, I am afraid that he will immediately go to the third part of the report.

Even Anton was stunned for a moment. If he were not familiar with Li Xiao’s character, he would probably doubt whether the old boss wanted to rebel and usurp the throne. It’s not surprising that someone has this meaning.

After thinking about it, Anton asked, “What do you mean is that if your Majesty does not support reform in the future, what shall we do if we have to go back?”

Strictly speaking, Li Xiao didn’t mean this, but it didn’t matter if Anton understood it according to this meaning, and it took too much time to explain to Anton in detail. It’s better to follow this simple one.

Li Xiao nodded, and Anton continued: “This possibility should be said to be possible, but I think if Count Rostovtsev’s plan is successful, Your Majesty should immediately see the benefits of reforming and abolishing the serf system. , In that case, he shouldn’t look back!”

When Anton said this, it was a bit conclusive. It meant that although he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he was sure that things would develop in this direction, or that he would rather believe that things would develop in this way.

But Li Xiao is not him, so Li Xiao is not as confident as him, not to mention that as a traverser, he is too aware of history.

“Really? What if you are wrong?”

Anton was taken aback again. He thought that Li Xiao was a bit strange today, because this question was a bit like a stubborn question. There is no reason but pure if, what is the meaning of this question?

“Do you think I’m lifting the bar?” Li Xiao asked again blankly.

Anton nodded, and said, “This kind of hypothesis is meaningless!”

Li Xiao replied affirmatively: “It makes sense! On the contrary, your thoughts are very dangerous!”

Anton was stunned, because Li Xiao rarely talked to him like this, he didn’t understand why Li Xiao was so persistent on this issue, even a little unreasonable.

Li Xiao glanced at him and said calmly: “I told you before that no matter what you do, you must be fully prepared, and you must not act blindly just to see the huge gains of success. You must think about it. What should you do if you are unsuccessful. Think about it yourself, are you too blindly optimistic on this issue, or have you never considered unsuccessful at all?”

Anton was stunned again. Li Xiao did teach him that he must be considerate when doing things. He must think clearly about all aspects of the situation and deal with all kinds of emergencies before he can do it. Otherwise, he must be cautious.

On this issue, he did not consider the possibility Li Xiao said, because he subconsciously rejected that possibility.

Suddenly Anton changed his face. He understood why Li Xiao said that hypothesis made sense. It does make sense. If Li Xiao’s hypothesis emerges, can those who support reforms have a way to save the situation?

Anton was very sad to find that there was no way, because once the czar did not support reform, or was ready to go back, they had no way to stop the czar from doing so, at best it would be pleading.

Can this be useful?

If the plea is useful, Russia completely abolished the serfdom system as early as the time of Alexander I. Why is it so long that it is still standing still?

Anton knew that pleading was useless, otherwise Count Rostovtsev would not have spent so much time and energy risking pushing Russia into the abyss to force the Tsar to nod and start reform.

Obviously, once the czar does not want to do something, the opponents have no choice at all, unless you rebel in a coup and change to a czar like you did Paul I.

It’s just that the forces that need to oppose that approach are huge, at least now Russia’s reform supporters do not have this strength.

In other words, once the possibility mentioned by Li Xiao appears, the reformists will be unable to do anything, and there will be no way at all. Isn’t this dangerous?

Anton felt a mess in his mind. The education he received from childhood was loyal to the monarch and patriotic. Although it would not turn him into a rigid royalist, it also made him subconsciously feel that it is normal to have a king or emperor. What he has to do is to serve the king well and use his abilities to make the country better.

This kind of thinking is so simple and natural, so he never thought about what to do if the minister tried to make the country better but the king didn’t cooperate. Even with the jewel of the French Revolution, Anton felt that the French’s approach was too extreme. Even if Louis XVI was a little bit, he couldn’t overrule the duty of a courtier. It’s not ~www.wuxiax.com~ and now it’s Li Xiao’s problem. I was embarrassed. If the czar really did that, what should he do?

He used to think that this issue was meaningless and could be ignored, but now Li Xiao tells him that this issue is meaningful and that he really wants to promote reform. This issue cannot be ignored, regardless of whether it is irresponsible or not responsible for himself.

In this way, even if Anton wants to evade the problem, he can’t do it. He can only face the problem. If the tsar does not support the reform, or the reform is generally reduced, what should they do?

Should I just stand up to death, the czar who does not support reform, and replace it with a new enlightened czar who supports reform, or do I just wait to die and do nothing and watch the previous efforts in vain?

Anton’s brain was buzzing, and he was struggling from the look of his expression. After a while, he gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, but after a while he looked confused and entangled again. This change of expression was like a face change, and Li Xiao felt a bit too embarrassed for the poor child.

It’s just that the question he raised can’t be avoided, because one day they will have to face this problem, and there will be no way to talk about the future unless this problem is solved…
