Struggle in Russia

What exactly did Duke Mikhail want to do with Menshkov?

In the beginning, he actually intended to persuade Menshkov to go with him to persuade Nicholas I, but Li Xiao persuaded him and let Duke Mikhail know that Menshkov could not agree with him. It’s hard for the old **** to make the old **** feel that he doesn’t know the importance of it but it is useless.

At that time, Li Xiao said to Duke Mikhail: “Today, only three forces can stop Paskovic, the first is himself, second is your majesty, and the last is the Anglo-French-Turkish coalition forces.”

“Obviously, Paskovic himself has no such knowledge for the time being, and his Majesty obviously has too much expectation that his head is still hot and it is impossible to stop.”

“At this time, it is impossible for the old **** to act with us to persuade those two people. That cunning old **** will not do it at all. Your forcible request will only make him disgust you, meaningless!”

Duke Mikhail asked dejectedly: “You mean that nowadays, only the British, French and Turkish forces can teach Paskovic to make him understand what to do?”

Who would have thought that Li Xiao shook his head and denied directly: “I didn’t say that, because in my opinion, even if the Anglo-French-Turkish coalition forces had taught Paskovic severely, that person would probably not wake up. He didn’t. I will stop!”

“If you think about it, you paid such a big price and drew such a big pie for your majesty, but in the end nothing was gained. Can Paskovic explain it?”

“Whether it’s for the sake of face or to have an explanation, he will not stop. He will only ask for further reinforcements and continue to fight with the British, French and Turkish forces!”

Duke Mikhail thought for a while, this is indeed very similar to the Paskovic he knew, the face-saving Lao Qiu Ba absolutely did such a thing. So, shouldn’t this be a quick way to get him to stop, and more importantly, to do Menshkov’s work and let the old **** help?

Li Xiao sighed again: “Duke, you still don’t understand. Persuasion cannot be persuaded! It is impossible for your Majesty or Paskovic to stop at this time. The only thing we can do is to convince Menshkov. When Paskovic touched his head and was about to smash with the Anglo-French-Turkish coalition forces in Ineada, let him speak for us and dispel your Majesty’s idea of ​​continuing to send reinforcements.”

Duke Mikhail was stunned. He then understood what Li Xiao meant. It was useless to say anything now. Only when Paskovic touched a bag to prove that his plan was completely frustrated, but he still didn’t. When Ken let go, he joined Menshkov to prevent him from continuing to give heads.

After thinking about it for a while, Duke Mikhail admitted that Li Xiao’s statement made sense, and only then can Nicholas I be sober and prevent Paskovic from continuing to give away his head. At that time, the bad side had been fully exposed, and everyone could see that Paskovic’s set was not working, and it would be more persuasive to speak up again.

At that time, Menshkov would also offend Nicholas I when he helped to speak, and would not affect his holy family. At that time, the old **** would naturally give face.

The pressure to do so can be said to be natural, but Duke Mikhail was not reconciled and unhappy because it meant that the Russian army would have to pay a heavy price. Without these costs, it would be impossible for Nicholas I to recognize the situation. , But he still feels that these costs are too heavy!

Human lives are not numbers after all, at least for Duke Mikhail, those lives are more than just a number. If unnecessary losses can be avoided, why not do it?

Li Xiao spoke slowly: “If possible, I also hope that no mother will lose her son, and no child will lose his father, but this is impossible. At least for your Majesty and Prince Paskovic, these are simply insufficient. To convince them, the only thing we can do is to avoid greater losses within a reasonable range…”

Li Xiao finally persuaded Duke Mikhail, or that Duke Mikhail knew that it was impossible to persuade the two people, and all he could do was Weixinaner.

Sure enough, Menshkov did not resist such a request. As long as he was not allowed to persuade Nicholas I immediately, it would be fine. He is easier to feel at ease than Li Xiao and Duke Mikhail, and if necessary, let him be as indifferent as Paskovic.

The news reached St. Petersburg. As expected, Nicholas I guessed the same as Li Xiao. Although the Duke of Ordorf reminded him to pay attention to the impact of the arrival of the British and French forces in Turkey, he still wanted to continue to gamble. He bet it was just an Anglo-French expedition. The army is doing it, betting that the enemy is just a small group of troops.

“The arrival of the British and French on the battlefield is worthy of attention,” Nicholas I said, “but it is still very likely that they are pretending to be a posture. On the one hand, they pressure us and on the other hand they encourage Turkey. Only a few troops are needed. This effect can be achieved, but I will never be intimidated by them!”

The Duke of Aldorf was also helpless for his stubbornness towards Nicholas I. In fact, the reason why he reminded him at the Royal Council was that Duke Mikhail asked him to give it a try and see if he could persuade Nicholas I.

Obviously not, Nicholas I was like a block of granite, too hard.

“How is Hineada?”

Although Nicholas I did not care about the Anglo-French coalition forces, he was obviously not satisfied with Paskovic’s progress~www.wuxiax.com~Why did he not advance to Constantinople? ”

Chernyshov gave a bitter smile and bit the bullet and replied: “The previous bad weather prevented the Black Sea Fleet from going to sea and had to postpone its operations. This delayed a lot of time and allowed Turkey to transfer troops back to Constantinople. Rescue.”

He carefully observed Nicholas I’s expression and saw that the tsar’s mood had become unstable, and he quickly added: “According to Prince Paskovic, he will do his best to eliminate this issue as soon as possible. Enemy, advance towards Constantinople with the fastest speed!”

In fact, Chernyshov didn’t have much confidence in Paskovic, and he was not stupid. He understood the situation reported by Kornilov. At least one hundred thousand Turkish troops were besieging the landing troops. Paskovic can push up the follow-up main force as soon as possible, dare you say that you will be able to deal with these enemies?

What’s more, the British and French expeditionary forces have also begun to arrive on the battlefield. It is unlikely that this landing operation will have a good result.

It’s just that although he knows that the situation is not good, given Nicholas I’s head, how dare he say that he can’t do it? He can only pretend that he doesn’t know, and Paskovic will play it, and see if there is a miracle!
