Viscount Prozolov thought for a long time but could not think of a good way to explain the situation to Grand Duke Constantine. He could only reply vaguely: "I have been observing Count Rostovtsev for a while, although I can't be sure about him.
political leanings, but I don’t think he will...will be biased towards us..."
Grand Duke Konstantin was not a fool. Although he did not fully understand what Viscount Prozolov meant, he could still tell that he suspected Count Rostovtsev of being biased.
Will it be biased?
Grand Duke Constantine also murmured in his heart. Although he had many contacts with Count Rostovtsev, it was impossible to say that he knew much about this count. At least from his understanding, this count was definitely not enlightened.
From the way of life to the way he behaves, he has a profound old fox temperament in everything.
Grand Duke Constantine felt that an old fox like this would not easily favor him. These old foxes under his father's emperor all had a common characteristic, which was to protect Crown Prince Alexander. Not to mention that they were particularly close to his eldest brother, but at least they would
Take the initiative to sell face.
And this time in Kiev, although it was a confrontation between him and Count Uvarov, the count was also very close to his eldest brother. In order to mess with him, what position would his eldest brother take?
?
Maybe his eldest brother took the initiative to give an explanation before Count Rostovtsev left St. Petersburg, and he would definitely make Count Rostovtsev cooperate with him, or at least make Count Rostovtsev not help him.
So in short, he didn’t want to get in front of Count Rostovtsev at all. He wanted the position of commander of the Kiev Gendarmerie? Let’s go to bed in the morning!
Thinking of this, Grand Duke Constantine felt a little frustrated and said dejectedly: "Am I just going to have to watch them do whatever they want?"
Viscount Prozolov carefully persuaded: "Your Highness, please forgive me, this is already the situation in Kiev and Ukraine. The best I can do here is not to continue to lose points. It will be a huge blessing... Do you still want to be here?"
A breakthrough here is really unrealistic!"
Grand Duke Constantine clicked his tongue and asked: "Then what do you think I should do next?"
Viscount Prozolov breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "I think the most important thing you should do is to get rid of this mess in Kiev as soon as possible. The best way is to act with the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrists. As long as Count Rostovtsev does not give you any trouble."
If you are being framed by a shit pot, then give up if you should!"
Grand Duke Constantine opened his mouth. He was very unwilling to give up Ukraine. However, he had to listen to Viscount Prozolov's advice. At least judging from his performance in recent times, this man still has a very good vision.
Vicious.
Viscount Prozolov noticed that Grand Duke Constantine was hesitating, and he quickly continued to persuade: "Get out of the quagmire of Kiev as soon as possible, and you can concentrate on developing Moldavia and the Black Sea Fleet. In my opinion
There are greater opportunities over there. Haven't you heard recently that Prince Menshikov has been sternly warning the Turks? Once the war really breaks out, there will be a lot of opportunities to make achievements there, which is much better than Ukraine!"
Grand Duke Constantine was a little moved, but he still had concerns. He said reluctantly: "It would be too cheap for Count Uvarov and his gang to just leave like this. These bastards have cost me several years of hard work."
How can you let it go so easily if it goes down the drain?"
"What's more, if we take the initiative to give in, they will think they are easy to bully. What will happen when they intensify their efforts to cause trouble?"
This is indeed a problem, but Viscount Prozolov does not think it is a particularly big problem. He explained: "We are not willing to give in. After all, Peter Balak and Shuvalov are destined to collapse. Speaking of which, Uva
Count Rove's losses are even greater. Next, he needs to think carefully about how to keep his position as governor of Ukraine. You don't think there is no need to pay a price for this, right?"
Seeing that Grand Duke Constantine was still angry, Viscount Prozolov said again: "If you are really upset, you can also interfere with it and create trouble for him on the issue of the Governor of Ukraine and make him pay more."
Just pay for it!”
Although he felt that this was still not particularly relieving, Grand Duke Constantine also knew that there was only so much he could do, after all, the situation was like this.
So he sighed quietly and said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but sooner or later I have to settle this account with that old man Uvarov!"
In fact, this is just a tough talk. Viscount Prozolov just laughed bitterly in his heart, and then agreed a few times casually. He just hoped that Grand Duke Constantine would quickly forget this incident and quickly do what he should do.
.
After Grand Duke Constantine vented a few words, he also found that there was no point in continuing to curse Count Uvarov in circles, and quickly asked: "Then what should I do next?"
Viscount Prozolov breathed a sigh of relief. Grand Duke Constantine finally remembered to do business. He hurriedly said: "The most important thing you need to do now is to contact Grand Duke Nicholas!"
"Nicholas?"
Grand Duke Constantine didn't understand why he wanted to contact that idiot third brother. Apart from having some use for his lower body, that guy's mind was just a mess. Why should he contact him?
Viscount Prozolov explained earnestly: "Your Highness, Grand Duke Nicholas may not have much ability, but his current position is very important. Now he is acting as the governor of Ukraine, and he has a great say in all aspects of Ukraine's affairs!"
Grand Duke Constantine curled his lips and said disdainfully: "It's just the right to speak. He still can't make decisions on business matters!"
The words were so true, but Viscount Prozolov said: "Although Grand Duke Mikhail and Count Rostovtsev still need to make decisions, he has the right to make suggestions after all! If he can help you speak, things will
It would be much easier to handle!”
Grand Duke Constantine suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "How could Nicholas speak for me? It's not like you haven't noticed that he and Mikhail are in the same group. They obey that brat's words. If he doesn't cause trouble for me, I will
Thank God!”
Viscount Prozolov shook his head and said: "No! I don't think Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand Duke Mikhail are in the same group. They can only be considered a cooperative relationship at best. As long as you can give him enough benefits,
I believe that Grand Duke Nicholas will definitely part ways with Grand Duke Mikhail!"
Grand Duke Constantine asked curiously: "How can you see it?"
Viscount Prozolov smiled slightly and replied confidently: "I have been observing them for a while, and I found..."
