Muravyov soon noticed the change in attitude of Belkh and his group, because it was too obvious.
In the past, when Muravyov went out, Belkh and his group arranged their entourage in advance in a very stupid way. He only needed to give an order and they could set off immediately.
But now, when Muravyov goes out, these considerate henchmen are nowhere to be seen. Belkh only sent a major in charge of logistics to wait at the door. As for the car and the escort, that's all.
there is none left.
"There are not many people today!" Muravyov looked at the major in charge of logistics and joked with a smile.
This was a very difficult thing to say, at least the major in charge of logistics didn't have the ability to answer it well. After all, he was just a lowly shrimp, and he was temporarily assigned such an unfortunate task by Berg.
He was definitely caught as a young man.
He could only explain with a dry smile: "Sorry, Your Excellency. The Commander and others have important matters to deal with, so I can only accompany you on your inspection."
Muravyov was not angry either. He looked the poor major up and down and said calmly: "Oh, that's it! Let's set off then! Go to the shore defenses and I will continue to supervise the progress of the project.
!”
The poor major looked at Muravyov and then around, as if he wanted to say something, but he seemed very embarrassed, and he couldn't manage to say a word for a long time.
This amused Muravyov, who smiled and said: "What's going on? Why haven't you arranged a ride?"
The poor major's face turned red and he said blankly: "Sir, there is no driver!"
Muravyov deliberately asked loudly: "There is no driver? How could there be no one? How can I go to inspect without arranging a driver? Is it possible for me to walk?"
The major was almost crying. He stuttered and replied: "I'm extremely sorry, Your Excellency. When I received this mission, there were no drivers or other entourage arranged. I was only asked to receive you. I thought
You have a driver here..."
Of course Muravyov knew that this was Belkh's trick. Ilya had reminded him yesterday, so he was not surprised. However, Belkh's reaction speed was quite amazing. If he was doing serious things,
It would be great to have this kind of efficiency!
The current situation is actually quite easy to resolve. Rather than embarrassing Muravyov, it would rather make him lose face. After all, it would be a joke if the dignified envoy was so despised. If word spread, it would be a joke!
Anyone else would have been furious, but Muravyov was not like the others. The old man was thick-skinned first, and he didn’t take losing face seriously at all. When he was in charge of Siberia, in order to deal with the local monsters and monsters,
, he has done all kinds of shameless things, this is nothing!
Secondly, Muravyov also wished that Belkh and his group would engage in more such unsavory little tricks, because on the surface it seemed that Belkh was slapping his special envoy in the face and not taking him seriously as his special envoy.
But actually? Isn’t this just a slap in Muravyov’s face? This is a slap in the face of Nicholas I as well!
After all, Muravyov was the special envoy sent by Nicholas I. No matter how annoying he was, he still represented Nicholas I. If he did not give him face as the special envoy, it would be equivalent to not giving Nicholas I face.
Can people who don't give honor to Nicholas I have good results in Russia? There is no need for Muraviev to report to Nicholas I himself, as long as the local third department reports these things to St. Petersburg.
That was enough to cause Belcher to suffer a hidden loss.
Why is it said that Belkh is not successful enough to achieve big things? The reason is that this guy's structure is too small. In fact, there are many better ways for him to make things difficult for Muravyov, but he just chose this
This method may seem like a slap in the face and make you angry, but in fact it is not very useful and will bring disaster to yourself.
Let's put it this way, Berkh's way of looking for trouble is actually what Muravyov is most happy to see. The old man will cooperate with him to make the matter known to everyone. Only when everyone knows it becomes news, this
Only then did the news reach the ears of Nicholas I!
So he immediately became "livid". When he saw the old man staring angrily, he stood on the street and loudly reprimanded the poor logistics major. His voice was as loud as he wanted, and his voice was extremely clear and repeated.
Forte repeated, fearing that the onlookers might not understand.
Naturally, this matter spread immediately, and in an instant everyone in the Black Sea Fleet knew about Berhe's glorious achievements in neglecting the special envoy. Berhe naturally knew about it, but he was not aware of the problem yet, and he still
Having fun there!
"Hahaha, that old guy is finally defeated! Did you see that this is the consequences of offending me? So what if the special envoy! This is my territory. If a dragon comes, I have to protect it. If a tiger comes, I have to hide it.
Stay!"
And his scoundrels didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and they all agreed and ridiculed Muravyov!
It was quite a laugh, but in the end someone with a little more brains raised a very realistic question: "Commander, what will happen if that old guy comes to the headquarters to cause trouble later?"
Belkh was stunned. He really hadn't thought much about this issue before. Before, he just wanted to slap Muraviev in the face with a bad breath. He didn't even think about what if the old man came to the headquarters and asked for it.
What should he do?
After all, he is still a special envoy. If he makes a fuss, the scene will not be pretty! And if he really makes a fuss, he won't solve the problem?
When he thought of this, Berhe suddenly became less happy, because after he was done, he suddenly realized that this climax came and went quickly, which was not satisfying. And after he was done, he still had to do something if someone made a little fuss.
The explanation is to rearrange the car. This seems a bit weird!
Immediately, Belhe became unhappy, and he replied with a straight face: "Even if he comes later, I won't be able to give him a good look. As for the reception treatment, everything must be simple. Use the worst.
I just need to let that old guy know the consequences of offending me, I just want to slap him in the face so hard that he won’t be able to get down the steps!”
It can only be said that Belkh was really motivated. Think about it, Muravyov made a big fuss in the first place. Needless to say, everyone would be watching, and then you waited for them to finish the trouble and then did it.
Even if you fool around with the worst treatment, even a fool knows it’s still a slap in the face!
The problem is that before, you could still fool the envoy by saying that the people below were ignorant and neglected the special envoy, forcing you to do nothing wrong. But now that you know everything and still do this, isn't it because you are openly slapping the special envoy and slapping Nicholas I in the face?
