Of course, although there is a certain degree of certainty in this matter, the risk is still not small. After all, the international situation and the mood of Nicholas I are not fixed. Who knows whether there will be any variables, to put it mildly, what if?
What should I do if Nicholas I’s uncle comes and feels unhappy during those days?
Li Xiao made it clear to Kornilov and Nassimov the pros and cons of this one by one. However, these two people are also people who want to do big things. After just looking at each other, they made a decision - do it!
According to their plan, when Belkh held a meeting to decide who would command the fleet to deter Turkey, Kornilov took the initiative to ask for help, and he, the deputy commander, took charge.
Why Kornilov instead of Nassimov? As the chief of staff of the Black Sea Fleet, wouldn’t it be more appropriate for Nassimov to command the fleet? What’s more, in history, the victory of the Sinop naval battle was created by this brother.
It seems better if he goes!
But Kornilov doesn't see it that way. From the perspective of the fleet, Nassimov, the chief of staff, is more important than his deputy commander, because his deputy commander's authority is not that great. After all, he has a real name above his head.
The commander suppressed him, allowing him to have only a say in many fleet affairs but no direct command.
But Nassimov, the chief of staff, is different. He has the power to directly command the fleet, and the daily training of the fleet and the formulation of combat plans are all in his hands.
To put it bluntly, Nassimov is responsible for the daily activities of the Black Sea Fleet. Once he is gone as chief of staff, Belkh can legitimately intervene in fleet affairs. At that time, even if Kornilov, the deputy commander, wants to intervene and stop
It is also very troublesome.
On the contrary, even if he, the deputy commander, is gone, Belcher will not be able to directly intervene in the daily affairs of the fleet for a while, so the impact will not be that big.
What's more, from the perspective of future incidents, judging from the character of Nicholas I, if the deputy commander Kornilov took the initiative to admit his mistake, but the commander Belkh showed no expression, it would probably be impossible to accept it.
of.
After some deliberation, Kornilov naturally stood up without hesitation. In the future discussion of action plans on how to deter the Turkish fleet, Nasimov's task was to sing the opposite. He must oppose overly tough deterrence actions. It would be best if
Is it possible to tell Nicholas I directly that he opposes maximum pressure?
As long as this work is done up front, even if something goes wrong in the future, Nicholas I will not be able to implicate Nassimov. After all, Nassimov was opposed before, and you can't just deal with those who hold objections.
Bar?
Anyway, no matter what, one of Nassimov and Kornilov will not be affected, and as long as one of them is there, the Black Sea Fleet will still be under their control. In the end, they were deceived to the point of desperation.
The only one who cried without tears was Beerhe.
However, Li Xiao doesn't care about what happened to Berge. He is not the Holy Mother, not to mention that he has a lot of things to do. He really doesn't have the time to care about Berge's life and mood.
"Major General Nikolay Nikolayevich Muravyov will arrive in Bucharest soon for observation?"
This news made Li Xiao a little confused. He knew about Nikolai Nikolayevich Muravyov, but shouldn't he have gone to the Far East to cause trouble for the Qing Dynasty at this time? Why did he suddenly run away?
Wallachia is coming?
Nikolay Nikolayevich Muravyov, later known as Count Amur. Yes, in fact, when you hear the name Amur, you basically know what good things this guy has done. You are not polite to say this
The goods were the main victims of the Qing Dynasty. The "Sino-Russian Treaty of Aihun", "Sino-Russian Treaty of Tianjin" and "Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing" were all closely related to this goods.
From Li Xiao's point of view, this guy was an invader, but from the perspective of Russia back then, this guy was a great hero.
Anyway, Li Xiao didn't have a good impression of this guy and didn't like this bastard at all. However, this bastard was indeed a reformist and liberal back then, at least that's how Nicholas I viewed him.
It is said that it was precisely because Nikolai Muravyov was very capable but also had a strong tendency towards liberalism and reform that Nicholas I felt that although he was a talent, he was not easy to use and did not dare to use it.
Then he was sent to the Far East to bring harm to the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, that is history, and in Li Xiao's time and space, for some unknown reason, this man who should have served as the governor of Irkutsk and Siberia at the end of 1847 was still in St. Petersburg, and was inexplicably captured by Nicholas.
I arrived in Wallachia for inspection. What on earth did this guy come to inspect?
In fact, not to mention that Li Xiao was surprised by Nikolai Muravyov's sudden inspection. Even he himself was confused. Originally, he was doing a good job in Irkutsk and the Governor of Siberia, but suddenly Nikolai Muravyov's sudden inspection.
With a decree from Emperor Ra I, he was recalled to St. Petersburg.
When he first got this decree, Muravyov was very happy, because no one likes the desolate Irkutsk and Siberia. Although this area is large, except for wild animals, it is an exile. To put it harshly, he
This governor is actually an exiled criminal leader.
At first Muravyov thought that he had finally gained the trust of Nicholas I, who called him back to St. Petersburg and entrusted him with an important task. He also thought that he finally had a chance to show off his ambitions.
But after traveling halfway around the world and returning to St. Petersburg, he realized that this was not the case at all. Nicholas I just arranged a casual job for him at the War Department, and then he stayed there.
To be honest, for Muravyov, this was like a bucket of cold water poured over his pocket, giving him a chill. Just when he was very depressed, he felt that his life now would be better than guarding exiles and bullying in the Far East.
During the Qing Dynasty, Nicholas I suddenly gave him an order to inspect Wallachia.
In the words of Nicholas I, his mission was to inspect the basic situation of the Wallachian army and the Russian garrison, and incidentally observe the development of Wallachia's defense.
Later, Muravyov learned from Chernyshev's explanation that Nicholas I actually sent him as a pawn to see the actual war readiness of Wallachia and prepare for the war.
But this is still very strange to Muravyov. Even if Nicholas I wants to prepare for war, and he doesn't trust the Governor of Wallachia, he can send someone to have a look, but there is no need to fly him all the way from the earth.
The other end asked me to come over to carry out such a small task, right? It was so annoying to say it so rudely, and I didn’t even know what it meant!
