The first round of dialogue between Golitsyn and Count Vladimir went well but was of no use. The two guys were making excuses and neither one of them was willing to tell the truth. Naturally, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
Fortunately, these two are not newbies. Having witnessed countless conspiracy scenes in St. Petersburg, they quickly found their rhythm again and started talking about business.
"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Constantine is in charge of Moldavia. Do you know this news, Count?"
Count Vladimir glanced at Golitsyn, some thoughts flashed through his mind, and then replied calmly: "Of course I have heard about it. His Highness Grand Duke Constantine is in charge of the overall situation in Moldavia. It must be..."
After talking a lot of nonsense, he suddenly changed the topic and said: "But the situation over there seems to be very bad! It is said that the rebel party is very powerful and has caused a lot of troubles. Your Highness, he should be more prepared.
How wonderful!"
Golitsyn's face was not very good-looking. He naturally hoped to raise his master's worth too high and force Count Vladimir to make more concessions, but the other party was not an idiot, and he actually used the chaos in Moldavia to make matters worse.
, and defeated his army.
He took a breath and replied coldly: "His Majesty the Grand Duke is naturally well prepared, and how can a group of young people and a mob be his opponents? This time, His Majesty promised that His Highness the Grand Duke has full power to make decisions!"
The so-called full decision-making power actually means that Nicholas I handed over all the political and military affairs of Moldavia to Archduke Constantine, allowing him to grasp the military and political power. To be honest, this power was quite large.
After all, someone as suspicious as Nicholas I would not hand over military power casually, and the power possessed by Grand Duke Constantine was enough to make him a veritable emperor of Moldavia. It can be said that besides treason, he wanted to
Anything is fine.
To be honest, this power makes other Russian governors jealous, but who is the biological son of Nicholas I? It is normal to have this kind of treatment. And considering that the status of Crown Prince Alexander is becoming more and more stable,
Nicholas I probably also had new arrangements for the future of Grand Duke Constantine. This time he sent him to Moldavia to clean up the mess, which was not without the intention of taking a test.
It's just that these thoughts of Nicholas I are not something that a wild son like Count Vladimir can know. In addition to drooling over Grand Duke Constantine's aloof treatment, he can only accuse Nicholas I of being partial.
Already.
And now Golitsyn actually talked about this special gift received by Grand Duke Constantine. To be honest, Count Vladimir was a little uncomfortable, because the vague pride shown by the other party deeply hurt him. If
Not that he was too stupid to refuse Grand Duke Constantine's kindness. He sincerely served Golitsyn with tea and sent it away immediately.
Seeing Count Vladimir's face darken a bit, Golitsyn was still a little proud and said secretly: "How about it, a wild boy like you knows how powerful his own son is! I'll make you so proud!"
It can only be said that Golitsyn is really not a person who does big things, or that a guy like him can't do anything serious. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have this bit of vision. He has never thought about what happened if he angered Vladimir
What consequences will Earl Mill have? His overall outlook and emotional intelligence are not that bad!
It can only be said that this guy is very lucky. If Count Vladimir hadn't come to him when he was in the most distressed state, the consequences would have been really hard to predict.
"Then I wish His Highness the Grand Duke all the best and manage Moldavia in an orderly manner!"
Golitsyn heard the coldness and lack of interest in Count Vladimir's words, but what was more interesting was that he had no intention of waking up. Instead, he was a little proud and felt that it was a sense of accomplishment to defeat Count Vladimir.
.
So he said grandly: "This is natural, but His Highness the Grand Duke always believes that Moldavia and Wallachia are one, with both prosperity and loss. It is not enough to just solve the problem of Moldavia. In order to prevent Wallachia from
Lakia is holding back, and His Highness the Grand Duke believes that it is necessary for the two Grand Duchys to carry out all-round cooperation!"
Count Vladimir finally regained his energy. He looked Golitsyn up and down, and for the first time he felt that this guy was not here to humiliate him intentionally. He couldn't help but think that if Grand Duke Constantine was willing to cooperate with him, he could help him become a
Governor of Wallachia, what a scene that would be!
Thinking of this, his breathing became a little rapid. He couldn't wait to get down to business and quickly negotiate the terms, and then quickly go to the stage to become the governor. To be honest, he was almost out of breath due to the damn debt!
It's just that Count Vladimir still has a sliver of reason. He knows that he can't be too anxious. If he is too impatient, he will easily be fooled and the price will be severely reduced!
He did not directly respond to Golitsyn's words, but glanced at Arkady next to him. The latter's breathing was a little rapid at this time. Apparently, Mr. Secretary also realized what a great opportunity this was!
Count Vladimir and Arkady glanced at each other without leaving any trace. Both of them could see the greed and desire in each other's eyes. There was no way to hide that kind of thing.
"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is really thoughtful, and he is indeed the pillar of the empire!" Count Vladimir sighed in a pretentious manner, and then asked: "Then, has His Highness the Grand Duke said how he wants to cooperate?"
Golitsyn looked down at Count Vladimir in his heart and said to himself: "Pretend! You are still pretending here! I really think I can't see what you really want to know!"
He replied with a smile: "Of course it is all-round cooperation. We must cooperate in all fields and aspects to completely integrate the two Grand Duchys!"
Like Alexey, Count Vladimir has no interest in such nonsense. He just wants to know what he can get and what price he has to pay. Leave this kind of nonsense to others!
However, it was not convenient for him to ask directly at this time, because it would appear that he was a little too anxious and enthusiastic. In order to hold down the price, he gave Arkady next to him a wink, and the latter immediately asked with understanding: "Let the two Grand Duchys
It would be great to be completely integrated into one, but what does His Highness the Grand Duke want to do? With all due respect, there are huge obstacles here, and even His Highness the Grand Duke may not be able to resolve them!"
Golitsyn's original plan was to continue drawing the pie, but when Arkady interrupted him, his thoughts were a little disordered. He could only laugh and said: "No matter how difficult it is, it will not be difficult for His Highness, because His Highness has already
