When he talked about Wallachia, Duke Mikhail's expression changed. From a series of excitement just now to a series of heaviness, it seemed that there was something unspeakable.
After a long time, he slowly said: "Let's talk about Count Speransky's matters later. Alexander said that it is not appropriate to get too close to them for the time being. We are a bit eye-catching to begin with, and that boy is a bit impatient in doing things. If we work together
It’s easy to cause big trouble, especially this time when we are openly fighting against Count Uvarov, it will be even more troublesome!”
As he spoke, he sighed quietly and said: "Actually, I quite admire those guys, but you should be able to figure out which ones are more serious, so let's just take it easy!"
Duke Ordorf frowned, because he instinctively felt that the matter was not that simple. How could Wallachia become a scourge, even if their connection with Count Speransky was known by Count Uvarov?
So what? If we really wanted to fight with real swords and guns, would that guy be able to swallow them all in one bite?
What's more, he felt that the reforms Alexei made in Wallachia were very measured and the scale was very well measured, so as not to cause any big trouble. He even felt that he could learn from it at home.
, some old almanacs are indeed outdated.
"Your idea is very dangerous. Anyway, I have already brought him here. It is not my request to keep distance from Count Speransky for the time being. It was Alexander who said it. If you can't believe it, I can't believe him!"
When Duke Ordorf heard that it was Duke Alexander, he couldn't help but hesitate, because he knew very well the level of Duke Alexander. The reason why their faction was able to survive under the double-teaming of Neserrodie and Uvarov
It was very nourishing, and Duke Alexander took the greatest credit, so he was still convinced by Duke Alexander's judgment.
Suddenly he sighed and said: "Okay, in this case I won't say anything more, let's get the wired telegram done first!"
As Duke Mikhail and Duke Ordov finalized the profit distribution, the cable telegram matter was basically settled. However, the old Jianghu Duke Ordov did not announce the results immediately, but continued
They are secretive and don't tell the truth, and they treat conservatives who come to lobby in kind words, pretending to be neutral.
This gesture was so deceptive that even Uvarov was deceived. He thought that Duke Ordov must have known about the matter and was hesitant, but it was because he did not know how to explain it to Nicholas I.
Deliberate delay.
The real reason is definitely not what Uvarov imagined. Duke Ordov is trying to buy time for Duke Mikhail. After all, as long as his report is handed in, the cable telegraph project is imperative. How to win this?
The project still needs Duke Mikhail to find a way, and he is delaying time just to help Duke Mikhail connect!
Half a month later, when Duke Mikhail had smoothed out all aspects of the relationship, he easily handed over the conclusions he had reached long ago, and this time the world collapsed!
Yes, for the reformists led by Count Uvarov, this was a huge disaster, because they were completely unprepared for this, and they never expected that Duke Ordorf would praise how good the wired telegraph was. They thought this matter should be
It was a big thing that turned into a small thing and was eventually forgotten!
"This old man!"
Count Uvarov rarely got angry. He slammed the table angrily: "What does Alexey Ordov mean?!"
No one can answer this question, because the conservatives are confused by Duke Ordorf's choice. They have clearly expressed their attitude. It stands to reason that as long as Duke Ordorf is not stupid, he should know how to choose.
But this time he chose to go against them. Did he eat gunpowder or steel bars?
Chernyshev asked in a low voice: "Is it possible that this is actually what His Majesty meant?"
There are many conservatives who speculate like this, because the cable telegraph thing can be said to have been initiated by Nicholas I. Maybe it was His Majesty who wanted to start this project?
"Unlikely!" Old Adlerberg denied this statement. "According to His Majesty's temper, if he really wants to build a wired telegraph, he can just issue an order directly. There is no need to go around this detour!"
Pobedonostsev also said: "This is not His Majesty's character. I think it is probably Duke Ordorf's own intention!"
But why does this answer sound so ridiculous? After all, there is only one Duke Ordorff, but there are probably no less than ten of them conservative giants. He will not even count this balance of power.
Not sure!
At this time, Baryatinsky spoke: "I think money is what attracts people. Depending on His Majesty's will, the cable telegraph will definitely be launched. This project is a big project. It's hard to say that Duke Ordorf is not interested!"
This analysis is on point. The wired telegraph project is indeed not a small one. Even the repeated objections of Count Uvarov and others at the Imperial Council could not stop Nicholas I from spending a lot of money.
Whoever gets this project will get rich, even conservatives like them are a little excited, okay?
But for Count Uvarov, it was a complete heartache. In his view, the money Nicholas I invested in the cable telegraph was the people's support of their conservatives. This money should have belonged to their conservatives and should have
If it is used to maintain their dominance, how can it be used to support the enemy and allow the reformists to pry it away!
"We must disrupt this project!" Uvarov said through gritted teeth. This was the first time he had expressed his attitude so clearly, which showed how angry he was.
But this made old Adlerberg and others look at each other, because this matter was difficult to handle. If Nicholas I did not express his attitude, it would not be difficult to disrupt the cable telegram. But once Nicholas I expressed his attitude, things would change.
The nature of it has completely changed!
In Russia, the will of the Tsar is equivalent to the will of God. No matter who you are or what your identity is, you cannot oppose the Tsar. The decision made by the Tsar must be implemented, even if conservatives do not like the decision, they must accept it.
This can actually be regarded as the core theory of conservatives. But now, according to Uvarov, the core concepts of conservatives have collapsed on themselves first. Without a team of beliefs, it will be very difficult to lead them!
Of course, the most critical thing is not just a matter of belief, but the consequences of challenging the Tsar are very serious. Once Nicholas I finds out that they are making trouble, what will be the result?
