Li Xiao's judgment came so suddenly, which really stunned Kornilov, Nassimov and Muravyov, because just now they were discussing how to continue acting to stall for time, but in the blink of an eye there was going to be a showdown!
"Is this Peter Shuvanov really in such trouble?"
Muravyov asked this question not to question Li Xiao's judgment, but rather to not believe that there are such difficult young people among conservatives. After all, this guy is only three years older than Li Xiao, and he is just 25 years old.
so smart?
Li Xiao replied in a tone that left no room for doubt: "It's quite troublesome, even more troublesome than any conservative element you have ever encountered! This person is cunning, insidious, and despicable. There is absolutely no limit to what he can do and he will do whatever it takes!"
Such comments were concentrated on one person, and even Muravyov was surprised. If he hadn't seen Li Xiao's serious expression, he would probably have thought that the other person was joking.
He dumbfounded and repeated: "It's so troublesome!"
Li Xiao nodded and said: "It's very troublesome! The only person who can see through our plan this time is him. It was precisely because Baron Titov visited him before that I had to change my strategy and choose to delay. Now it seems
, He has indeed seen through it!"
Everyone present knew that Li Xiao's original plan was not like this. That plan was more direct and radical, but then someone suddenly changed his mind, which surprised them. Now they know the true reason why someone changed his mind.
what is the reason.
Nasimov interjected: "My friends in Kiev also told me about Count Shuvalov's deeds. This man is indeed very smart, with accurate judgment and decisive actions. He is very powerful!"
Nasimov said this in a very regretful tone. It was obvious that he felt that it was such a waste that a smart young man like Shuvalov was a die-hard supporter of conservatives. If a young man like him was
If everyone can directly reform, then does Russia still worry about becoming rich and powerful?
If Li Xiao heard Nassimov's inner voice, he would probably sneer at it, because he knows very well that Shuvalov's intelligence must be quoted. This man's intelligence is basically a little cleverness, and all his wisdom is used in
In the officialdom, he is quite good at observing words and deeds, eliminating dissidents, and seeking personal gain.
However, if you ask him to do serious things, such as making the country prosperous and powerful, and fighting for international interests for the country, he is not that good at these serious things. If you look at his subsequent performance, not to say that diplomacy is a mess, at least he can't
Make people satisfied.
To put it bluntly, he is a man who fights internally and externally. He is only clever but not very wise. More importantly, he is extremely conservative and only knows how to stick to his limitations.
Muravyov also became nervous when he heard Nassimov echoing Li Xiao's statement. He asked: "Then what should we do next?"
Li Xiao said decisively: "First of all, we must separate Belkh from him. Without Belkh's authority, he is just a deputy director of the third department of Kiev. It is impossible to interfere in the affairs of the Black Sea Fleet, so even if he wants to
If you want to do bad things, you can only do it sideways!"
After a pause, Li Xiao seemed a little hesitant, but finally he said: "In addition, we have to do some work on Belcher and see if we can win over this guy!"
This time, not only Muravyov was stunned, but Kornilov and Nassimov were also stunned. The reason was simple: they didn't understand why they wanted to fight for Belkh.
Especially Kornilov, he was strongly opposed to this. The reason was very simple, that is, Belkh had done too many bad things in the past two years, which made the Black Sea Fleet, which was originally prosperous in the hands of Lazarev, stalled.
Moreover, this guy continues to use the power in his hands to amass money and enrich his own pockets to influence the development of the Black Sea Fleet.
Anyway, Kornilov felt that if this guy was not punished and this evil spirit was severely punished, the bad breath in his heart would not be clean.
So he objected without hesitation: "You must not let the tiger go back to the mountains. How can you let Berg go so easily after he has done so many bad things! He must be killed as a warning to others, and his example can be used to tell others that he must not mess around in the Black Sea Fleet."
!”
And his words were immediately recognized by Nassimov. He felt the same way and wished he could cut Belkh into eight pieces as a warning to others. However, Muravyov did not speak, and the old man looked thoughtful.
Thinking, as if thinking of something.
Li Xiao looked at the emotional Kornilov and Nassimov and sighed in his heart. Emotionally speaking, he understood and supported the opinions of these two people. It is indeed not enough to punish a bastard like Belkh severely.
People are angry. But politics can never be based on emotions. Politics is only about results, and acting on emotions often has no good results in politics.
So he explained patiently: "I understand how you two feel, and I also hope to punish this bastard Berge severely, but what is the purpose of punishing him severely? If I understand correctly, you two also hope to protect the Black Sea by punishing him severely.
The normal operation of the fleet prevents latecomers from misbehaving, which means we still want to protect the interests of the fleet, right?"
Although Kornilov and Nassimov had sullen faces, they still nodded in unison. This was indeed their purpose.
Li Xiao also nodded and continued: "The reason why I said I hope to win over Berhe is actually to safeguard the interests of the fleet and to curb the conspiracy of the conservatives!"
Kornilov and Nassimov immediately didn't understand, but they did not object immediately like before, but listened patiently to Li Xiao's explanation.
"The current situation is obvious. Shuvalov and Belkh must have realized that there is not much time left for them, so for them, there are two things that are definitely the most important at the moment. The first is Belkh.
He wipes his own butt, and the second thing is to find ways to plant mines for us!"
Li Xiao glanced at Kornilov and Nassimov and saw that they agreed with his analysis, and then continued his analysis: "And these two things are very important to us, to Belkh and Shu."
The importance to Valov is completely different! For us, what we need to pay most attention to now is their mine laying behavior, because it is related to the future. If we want the fleet to develop better, we must not allow them
Misbehaving!"
Kornilov and Nassimov also agreed with this analysis, but they still didn’t understand what this had to do with letting Belkh go. Li Xiao could only continue to patiently explain: “Of course it has something to do with Belkh.
, because to him, the importance of these two things is completely different!"
