Struggle in Russia

v3 Chapter 94 - The Emperor's Psychology (Part 2)

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

People talk about Nicholas I as alarmism, but Count Rostovtsev still takes it seriously. Since Count Rostovtsev said that Count Vladimir was just a flower bone in the greenhouse, he must be.

So after talking with Count Rostovtsev, Nicholas I, who was in trouble, called Peter Volkonsky and Duke Ordov directly to ask about the situation.

“Any new news from Wallachia?”

This question is a bit sudden, at least a bit inexplicable for Peter Volkonski and the Duke of Ordov who were suddenly called. Because the focus of the empire recently was not Wallachia but Bulgaria, Nicholas I suddenly asked Wallachia about it that made them a bit confused by the second monk.

However, the Duke of Aldorf was younger, and the other was more informed, not to mention that he was connected with Wallachia, so after a little thought, he probably understood what Nicholas I wanted to ask.

He replied without any emotion: “Everything in Wallachia is normal, but I heard that there is a bit of disparity between Count Vladimir and Count Speransky…”

Nicholas I nodded slightly. You don’t need to ask him about this, because Count Rostovtsev would not lie to him, he wanted to know the details.

“Tell me more details!” He ordered in an annoying voice.

If someone else listened to this order, they would definitely elaborate on the conflict between Count Vladimir and Alexei. But the Duke of Aldorf was not an ordinary person. He knew very well that what Nicholas I really wanted to know was not this, because you all have detailed reports in the third book, and Nicholas I can know by turning over the report. The situation does not need to specifically call him and Duke Peter Volkonsky.

He thought a little and replied: “Because the journey is relatively long, it is impossible to know the situation in Bucharest too clearly even in the third part, but it seems that His Royal Highness Constantine and Duke Speransky are a little unhappy… …”

The words of the Duke of Aldorf surprised King Nicholas I, because the wild son had a conflict with Alexei. Why did his own son who had just arrived in Chisinau also fell out with someone? What’s going on?

Seeing Nicholas I’s unattractive complexion, the Duke of Aldorf cautiously replied: “This is just a few words, or gossip, but the news is spread like this. I am sending someone to verify the specific situation. There is news. Will report to you as soon as possible.”

Nicholas I frowned. For the first time, he felt that his empire was too big and it was not a good thing. This made him unable to control the situation on the edge of the empire. After running for a week, the day lily has been cold for such a long time!

Nicholas I suddenly lost his good mood. He walked around the office irritably, and then suddenly asked: “What is the name of the thing that Count Speransky proposed to build before? The one that transmits the message. ?”

Peter Volkonsky’s eyes were all at a loss, because the old man really didn’t pay much attention to those things, and now his limited energy is all placed inside the court. It would be his biggest concern if he watched the old Adlerberg strictly. He was not interested in anything, other things.

As for the Duke of Aldorf, he was actually a bit nagged. He didn’t know what Nicholas I was talking about, but he knew that it was not the best policy to pretend to be dumb or stupid. This would only make Nicholas I more irritable, so he hurried up. The previous step asked: “Is it a railway? Count Speransky said before that the railway can greatly improve our country’s traffic conditions, so…”

But the Duke of Aldorf was interrupted impatiently by Nicholas I before he finished speaking. He waved his arm impatiently and said viciously: “It’s not a railway. That thing is expensive and useless, and it’s not useful. What is the name of the one that Count Speransky said, and what is the cable?”

The Duke of Aldorf breathed a sigh of relief. Don’t look at Nicholas I’s attitude a bit bad, but he knew it was okay. When the tsar was really angry, his attitude would not be particularly bad. His bad attitude meant that he didn’t take it. He and Peter Volkonski are outsiders. When the czar was furious, he was actually frosty.

And with the little hint of Nicholas I, he finally understood what the other party was trying to say. He quickly replied: “I remembered your Majesty, it was a cable telegraph! This is what Earl Speransky asked for. !”

Nicholas I also patted his forehead, and said happily: “Yes, that’s it! According to the boy’s words, the message can be quickly transmitted thousands of miles away, so that St. Petersburg can receive the first hand from thousands of miles away. Is the news?”

Of course the Duke of Aldorf had heard of it by the cable telegraph, and Count Speransky tried his best to preach this before. Call this thing together with the railway as the new thing Russia needs most. It’s just that, in conservative and backward Russia, new things have never been attractive.

Almost everyone is afraid to be interested in railways and cable telegraphs. They feel that Russia is still Russia without these, so why bother to spend the wrong money?

As for the Duke of Aldorf himself, UU reading www. uukahnshu. Although he is not as repulsive of new things as other old antiques, he does not dare to openly say how good the new things are, because there is too much uncertainty. If these new things are not so good, wouldn’t he want to help ?

So the Duke of Aldorf replied cautiously: “Yes, Count Speransky mentioned the convenience of the cable telegraph, saying that this thing transmits news very quickly… But you also know whether these new things are true It works, no one knows, I think…”

The Duke of Aldorf was ruthlessly interrupted by Nicholas I before he could finish his words. The supreme undoubtedly waved his arm forcefully and said decisively: “Then you can verify it, whether you send someone to investigate or Just build a line and try it out. I want to know as soon as possible if this thing is really that amazing!”

The Duke of Aldorf was dumbfounded again, because he really did not expect that Nicholas I would suddenly become interested in new things like the cable telegraph because of a little thing in Wallachia. He really didn’t want to tell the truth this unlucky job. Take over, because this thing is a hot potato, it is easy to make him a thorn in the eyes of others!

But when he just raised his head and saw the eyes of Nicholas I, he couldn’t say what he wanted to refuse. He hurriedly bowed and replied: “I will do it immediately, and your will will be thoroughly implemented! “
