Although Viscount Prozolov couldn't see the change in Ravel's expression through a mask, he could still feel the other party's hesitation. As for why the other party hesitated, he could probably guess it, which made him feel a little jealous of Ravel.
I was amazed.
Because only the most astute people realize that what he just said is full of water. For Grand Duke Constantine, it is certain that he wants to fight back and take revenge on Shuvalov, but the reality basically makes him unable to do so.
why?
Because Shuvalov was so ruthless, he not only directly eliminated Bestuzhev and Liu Ming, but also arrested many of his confidants for various reasons and charges. Those charges were all
The evidence is conclusive. Even with the wisdom of Viscount Prozolov, he cannot think of any way to exonerate so many people from so many crimes.
To put it simply, Bestuzhev and Ryumin's group of people were almost wiped out at once, and they were the main force of Grand Duke Constantine in Ukraine. Without these people, he alone would not be able to compete with Peter Ba.
Lake and Shuvalov had an arm wrestling match.
Therefore, Viscount Prozolov told Grand Duke Konstantin before, asking him to be more realistic. Even if this round can guarantee that he will not be implicated, even if it is successful, the best result is to rescue Bestuzhev.
Just a three-legged cat.
As for revenge or a comeback, don’t even think about it, it’s impossible!
Naturally, what Viscount Prozolov said just now is, at best, a embarrassment to Grand Duke Constantine, but this is also the art of negotiation. Never let the other party know your trump card or bottom line at any time, otherwise the next step
You must be the one who suffers in the transaction!
It's just that Viscount Prozolov didn't expect that his bluff would be seen through by Ravel. Although strictly speaking Ravel was just a little suspicious, it was really not easy for a low-level military policeman.
Because Viscount Prozolov had seen too many aristocratic children with good family backgrounds, and they did not have similar sensitivity at all. They were as slow as pig heads, so he could only let him fool him casually.
Compared with Ravel, they can simply turn around and shoot themselves to death.
Why, you ask, did Viscount Prozolov know that Ravel was of low status, not a noble, or even from the bottom of society?
For a human spirit like Viscount Prozolov, even if Ravel has his face covered, he can roughly guess the other person’s origin. Because face is not the most important feature of a person, for a smart person like him
It is said that the truth can be found out based on minute details such as the other person's accent, tone of voice, body language, etc.
For example, Ravel has been talking to him in Russian, which basically denies that he is a noble. These days, if you don't know French, you really shouldn't say that you are a European noble. This is the most basic skill of being a noble. In the upper class society
The only common language in the country is French. If you don't speak French, you are simply cut off from this circle.
Moreover, Viscount Prozolov also heard Ravel’s accent. He was obviously a native of Kiev, and the various details of his exposed palms also showed that he was not a pampered aristocrat. Look at the calluses on his hands.
Do nobles have so many cocoons?
This is not over yet. Viscount Prozolov did not ask about the smell of perfume or cologne from the other party. You must know that although the Russian aristocratic circle despises the French aristocrats for wearing perfume and stockings, these blends can
Basically, I learned everything over and over again.
Among today's young Russian aristocrats, if they go out without wearing some cologne, they would be embarrassed to meet people.
But none of these concoctions are economical, especially those French perfumes. All of them are horrifyingly expensive, and you really can’t afford them if you don’t have any financial resources. At least for ordinary Russian people who are struggling to make a living, these things are absolutely worth it.
Can't afford it.
Although Ravel can't afford to spend money completely, his background determines that he doesn't really care about body odor, and naturally he won't wear perfume to cover it up. Wouldn't it be nice for him to have the spare money to make more plates?
?
Anyway, for Viscount Prozolov, he almost guessed Ravel's identity and status with his nose just after meeting him. That is to say, Ravel was very careful, covered his head and face, and specially changed his clothes.
, otherwise Viscount Prozolov might be able to lock his identity to a very small range just from these details.
However, after Viscount Prozolov learned this information, he became interested in this civilian who came from a humble background but was very smart. Since his last defeat to Li Xiao, Viscount Prozolov also summed up his experience and lessons.
He came to the conclusion that his teammates were all a bunch of pigs. He believed that these so-called aristocrats were simply lacking in brains in doing things. If they hadn't held them back, he would never have lost so miserably.
But what confused him was that if he didn't rely on these nobles for help, who could he rely on?
At least based on his experience, he couldn't tell who in Russia except the aristocratic class could move into officialdom. For ordinary people, being literate was considered a good thing, but middle schools and universities were beyond the imagination.
OK.
It wasn't until he stayed in the prison of the third part for a while and came into contact with many young people from ordinary backgrounds who were arrested for their liberal tendencies that he discovered that it was not the aristocratic class in Russia that could produce talents.
Although these arrested young people are a bit ridiculously naive, talking to them will reveal that they have ideals, beliefs, perseverance, and can work hard to put them into action. These are better than those aristocratic young men who only know how to eat and wait to die.
Too many.
After making friends with these young people for a while, Viscount Prozolov found that he seemed to be moved. So after he was released from prison, the first thing he did was to go to Kiev University and meet many young people in school.
He found that these people were all valuable assets! They each had their own talents, and all they lacked was a platform for them to display their talents. It was a pity that Nicholas I could not give them this platform, or rather this
Because the Tsar could not give them a bright future, even if he would give these young people some opportunities, they would not reach the top of the pyramid even if they worked extremely hard throughout their lives.
Because there are already people at the top of the pyramid, and these people and their descendants have no intention of giving up their positions.
Anyway, after that trip, Viscount Prozolov began to understand why more and more young people in Russia began to hate Nicholas I and began to act against him. If it were him, he would be like these young people.
