Struggle in Russia

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

Alexei understood what Li Xiao meant. It is not impossible to cooperate with Grand Duke Constantine, but it depends on how to cooperate. If it is on the basis of equality and reciprocity, you can cooperate. But if the Grand Duke Constantine is too aggressive, he can’t be bullied by others.

Having figured this out, how to operate Alexei later is naturally clear. For them, Earl Vladimir and the fishbone must be singled out, and they should not be allowed to spoil their good deeds. However, with Nicholas I’s character and methods, it would definitely be a waste of effort for the two of them to pick this thorn.

But if the Grand Duke Constantine also shot Count Vladimir to help pick the thorns together, then Nicholas I must weigh it carefully. The real son and the wild son must not talk the same day. As a face-saving person, letting outsiders know that he helps the wild son or not, the gossip is not very pleasant.

What’s more, with Li Xiao’s ability, no wind can make three-foot waves. When there is wind, he still can’t be a demon to death. At that time, public opinion will make Nicholas I a headache.

In other words, with the justifiable charges and the endorsement of Grand Duke Constantine, then a mere Count of Vladimir is nothing. Even if Nicholas I is reluctant, he can only take down this wild son. Block the world’s leisurely mouth.

“You really are!”

After thinking about Li Xiao’s thoughts, Alexei gave a wry smile, because this is not impossible, but it is easy to be hated by Nicholas I, but considering that someone has already filled Nicholas I’s hatred. If there are too many lice, you are not afraid to bite.

“It’s cheaper, Grand Duke Constantine, he is really lucky!”

Alexei’s impression of Grand Duke Constantine is very bad, especially after experiencing the incident of Viscount Prozolov, the little fat man can almost equate with the enemy in his mind. For him to cooperate with the enemy, it really requires some psychological construction.

“He’s not an enemy, right?” Li Xiao persuaded, and said slowly: “In fact, not only are we both enemies, we should actually be friends.”

This argument surprised Alexei. He looked at Li Xiao dumbfounded, wondering if the nonsense person in front of him was his friend.

“I’m not talking nonsense!” Li Xiao smiled bitterly, “I didn’t take the wrong medicine! In fact, that little fat man and we are both supporters of reforms. No matter what his starting point for supporting reforms, he always supports reforms!”

Li Xiao knew very well that in the history of Alexander II’s reforms, the biggest pillar of the reformists was actually the Grand Duke Constantine. Without the great support of this Grand Duke, this reform could not be carried out at all. And as the grand prince was forced to resign because of his son’s mischief of making a sister, Alexander II’s so-called reforms were also declared to have ended without disease.

In a sense, the rise and fall of the Grand Duke Constantine represents the rise and fall of the reformists, which can be said to be both prosperity and loss.

However, in this time and space, because of Li Xiao’s personal grievances with Nicholas I and his son, the division of forces within the reformers became more complicated. It seemed that Duke Constantine was not so important. However, it is undeniable that this little fat man is indeed a real deal. Reformists.

Since everyone is a reformist, if you can put aside personal grievances, you can actually have a foundation for cooperation, and you can barely count as friendly forces.

It’s just that it is a bit difficult for Alexei to accept the friendly army immediately, because he doesn’t appreciate the actions of Little Fatty.

“What he does is his business,” Li Xiao said. “He has his way, and we also have our way. I don’t want us to follow his way, but to say that no matter which way, our purpose is the same. Yes, as long as the purpose is the same, we can cooperate. And now we must also cooperate with him!”

Alexei was noncommittal about Lu and Go, because he felt that the goals of the two sides were not exactly the same. The ultimate goal of the little fat man was the throne, not reform. But Li Xiao said that they must cooperate with Little Fatty, which surprised him!

He lost his voice: “Why?”

Li Xiao smiled bitterly: “My friend, haven’t you realized that we have become thorns in the eyes of some people? No matter how much we cover up, we can’t cover up the fact that we are doing reforms in Wallachia. Now those old stubborns in St. Petersburg have seen through our disguise, Count Vladimir is just a starter, do you think there will be no other dishes waiting for us after taking him away?”

Alexei was stunned, and said in a low voice, “It won’t happen, I think we are quite low-key!”

“It can’t be changed in a low profile. We do change the things that old stubbornness values ​​most,” Li Xiao sighed again. “Look at the attitudes of Duke Mikhail and Duke Alexander recently. Can’t you explain something?”

Alexei was stunned again, and then finally reacted. It is true that the relationship between them and the two has become a bit ambiguous since last year. They used to be very active in contact with each other. Guia is under their cover. But now even if they send money in the past, their attitude is neither salty nor indifferent, and there is a vague sense of alienation. Obviously, the two old foxes may have noticed something, this is to distinguish!

Alexei took a breath of air. He knew very well that their biggest reliance in Wallachia was to have the Gorchakov family as an ally. If this important ally is not there, just rely on it. This little strength of his own is really not enough to mention.

“Can’t we try to clear the relationship?” Alexei asked bitterly.

“Impossible!” Li Xiao replied with certainty, “Those two dukes are human spirits. Although they are more open-minded, they will not do it if they choose to support reforms! So we must unite everything we can. The strength of unity, because I guess the old stubborn ones will get tougher every time!

Alexei thought for a while and muttered: “But Grand Duke Constantine is not a strong ally! If he has a way, he won’t be forced to Moldavia! We might as well find a way to show favor to Alexander. The crown prince!”

Li Xiao immediately shook his head: “It is impossible for our crown prince to accept your loss, not only because of my relationship, but more importantly, the biggest reliance behind him is actually those old and stubborn. You think he will abandon those. Are you always stubborn to hug us?”

Alexei was speechless, and Li Xiao sighed: “So we have no other way to go except for cooperating with Duke Constantine!”
