Golitsyn's words didn't answer the question at all to Count Vladimir. He didn't want to know how determined Grand Duke Constantine was. This had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to know what benefits he could get. Suddenly
He was a little impatient.
"You should tell me what His Highness is going to do! If it can be useful to get my place, and if His Highness's plan is indeed feasible, I will not exclude the possibility of assisting His Highness!"
Count Vladimir's words were well-measured. He neither said that he would definitely help Grand Duke Constantine nor said that he would not help. He just asked the other party to say something practical. To be honest, it was still a test.
But it’s understandable even if it’s a trial. After all, Golitsyn can’t just draw a picture and make a decision on such a big matter. You have to tell the ABCD before it can be carried out!
Golitsyn thought for a moment. In fact, this guy didn't know what to do. At least he knew that the set of things he used to persuade Alexei might not be able to get it, but he didn't know what to open.
The price is quite appropriate.
It’s not just about the price. He came to Count Vladimir just because of his superior nature. He actually didn’t think through the overall plan, such as what Count Vladimir can help Grand Duke Constantine and how to help Vladimir.
When Count Mir became the governor of Wallachia, he actually did not think clearly about these things.
Golitsyn was slightly encouraged by Melikov and then got a little excited, thinking that finding Count Vladimir was the way to go, and then he came. As for what to do specifically, in fact, his mind was still blank.
But now that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, he couldn't tell Count Vladimir that he had just imagined it!
Fortunately, this guy was still a bit quick-witted, so he replied calmly: "Of course, other people will discuss these specific matters with you in detail. The main purpose of my visit is to convey His Highness the Grand Duke's goodwill to you.
I don’t know if you understand it, Your Excellency!”
Count Vladimir frowned, because goodwill depends on the specific charter. If Grand Duke Constantine's bid is unfair or simply taking advantage of him, then it is not goodwill, but a scam!
He doesn’t want to be deceived, so he has to give him something real to identify whether the other party is kind or not! But now there is nothing real, it’s all Golitsyn’s mouth that says it. Is this reliable?
Count Vladimir felt a little unsure. He glanced at Arkady next to him. The latter's expression was as solemn as his, and he was obviously not sure whether this was a good intention or not.
After thinking about it, Count Vladimir decided to explore the details before making a decision: "Of course I welcome Grand Duke Constantine's goodwill, but His Highness the Grand Duke must tell me how to cooperate! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a letdown if something goes wrong?
Your Highness the Grand Duke’s kind words! Besides, I’m a humble person, and I can’t help with some things if they are beyond my ability!”
Golitsyn was a little unhappy. He felt that Count Vladimir was a little too slick. He had clearly said it was good intention and also told the other party the specific plan. Naturally, someone told him. Now he only needs to answer whether he accepts this kindness.
How difficult is it? Unless the other party wants to make a name for himself, why bother so much!
Suddenly, Golitsyn looked at Count Vladimir with a bad look. If he didn't have a better choice, I'm afraid he really wouldn't want to discuss cooperation with this guy.
He asked solemnly: "Count, what do you mean?"
Count Vladimir thought to himself: "What do you mean by asking me? Shouldn't it be you who can explain it clearly and give me reassurance? And what do you mean by your tone? I really think that you, the Marquis, are older than me, the Earl."
, I’m sure I’m done?”
Fortunately, Count Vladimir still remembered that he owed a huge debt, otherwise there was a real possibility of falling out. He could only suppress his anger and replied cheerfully: "I don't mean anything else. It's just that you can't explain clearly. Let me
It’s a bit confusing! Could you please explain it in detail?”
Golitsyn was stunned for a while, because he really couldn't explain anything, after all, he had no preparations. But judging from Count Vladimir's expression, if he really didn't explain, this cooperation might really go wrong, so...
So Golitsyn was really a little flustered, but a shameless guy like him concealed it well even if he was a little flustered. At least everything seemed to be normal on the surface. Instead, he looked at Count Vladimir with disdain, as if he disliked it.
The other party is generally cautious.
This look made Count Vladimir feel a little hairy. He turned his head and looked at Arkady, as if asking: "Shouldn't I really ask clearly?"
But before Arkady could react, Golitsyn spoke: "What's the explanation for this?" He replied with a look of disgust: "Of course you will be the governor of Wallachia after it is done.
Then cooperate with His Highness the Grand Duke in governing Wallachia and Moldavia!"
I have to say that Golitsyn really has the talent of taking the easy way out. Strictly speaking, his answer is no different from no answer, but it seems that he has given Count Vladimir another promise, which seems quite reasonable.
, and Count Vladimir will surely be happy, after all, he can be the governor!
However, Count Vladimir felt that this explanation was strange, and he always felt that something was missing. However, before he could ask the question this time, Golitsyn spoke in advance: "Isn't this satisfactory? Don't forget that you are now
But you are just the commander of Bucharest city defense, and you are far from being the governor! His Highness the Grand Duke has made an exception for you to be the governor!"
Count Vladimir naturally knew that this was indeed an exception, but the question was, was this what he was struggling with? What he wanted to know was why Grand Duke Constantine made him the governor. After all, the governor of Wallachia was not Grand Duke Constantine's.
, do you think he will give it to whomever he says he will give it to?
But Golitsyn didn't dare to go into detail, and besides, he would have exposed his secret, so he waved his hand impatiently and said: "I really don't know what you are worried about, count? With His Highness the Grand Duke's promise, plus
With your background, is it difficult to become a governor? I really didn’t expect you to be so timid and fearful. If you are afraid of Count Speransky, just say so and I will find someone else who is brave and knowledgeable to cooperate!"
Come on, Golitsyn stood up and was about to leave. Now Count Vladimir had no choice at all. He only had one chance and he couldn't not seize it. Moreover, what Golitsyn said just now made sense. He and Grand Duke Constantine were married.
He has a wild son, so it should be a piece of cake for the two sons together to deal with Alexei...
