Of course, although this matter seems very simple to say, the actual operation is still very laborious. Even if Li Xiao did it himself, it took a lot of effort, and the result can only be said to be dealt with, although he avoided being cheated.
Count Varov cheated, but in the final analysis it was just a passive defense, and there was nothing that could be done against this old bastard Uvarov.
Even though Li Xiao and Alexey passed the test this time, Grand Duke Constantine was not so lucky. Nicholas I was very dissatisfied with Grand Duke Constantine's performance in Moldavia and wrote a harsh letter
He gave him a lesson and warned him to immediately return his main focus to his own work, otherwise he would stop occupying this pit.
Li Xiao sighed and said: "Although this guy Kostya is indeed quite annoying, it is better for him to be the Governor of Moldavia than for other bastards. At least he won't blatantly trick us like Uvarov's people!
"
Anton also sighed and quite agreed with this. He also couldn't understand what Grand Duke Constantine was thinking. Obviously everyone is a reformist. If they don't cooperate sincerely, at least they don't have to hold each other back!
If only he could show a little more sincerity, no matter whether it was Moldavia, the Black Sea Fleet or Ukraine, they would definitely not be what they are now. It is impossible for Bestuzhev Liuming to be tricked by Count Shuvalov, and he would not do it.
Gotta look sexy.
"If he was so sensible, I'm afraid you, me, and Alexei wouldn't be so appreciated by Count Rostovtsev. I guess the Count would do everything he could to support him. Naturally, you wouldn't be able to go to Kiev either.
Come to work!”
Anton also laughed at Li Xiao's joke. In a sense, this was indeed true. It was precisely because Grand Duke Constantine was messing around and causing so many bad things that things became more and more complicated.
, also freed Ukraine from Uvarov’s control.
If you look at it from this aspect, then the great justice of Constantine is extremely good!
Just imagine, if it weren't for the fact that Li Xiao and the others didn't deal with Grand Duke Constantine and deliberately didn't remind him that something was going to happen in Bestuzhev.
If you look at it this way, Grand Duke Constantine is really a living **, and he was really helpful.
After chatting for a while about Grand Duke Constantine, Anton asked: "You rushed to Kiev, are you here specifically to discuss issues related to the constitution with the count?"
Li Xiao shook his head and said: "Of course not, I'm not that free yet. There's a lot of shit over there in Wallachia, and Istanbul also needs my attention. How can I come to Kiev just to chat!"
After a pause, Li Xiao said seriously: "On this trip, one is to deal with the issue of handing over your job. The stability of Ukraine and Kiev is very important. It is best for you to stay here to help the count's people stabilize the situation and resist Uvaro
Earl Husband’s counterattack!”
"Secondly, I must have a serious discussion with the count about the war with Turkey. Now it seems that war is completely unavoidable!"
Anton was taken aback. He really didn't expect that the situation would develop so quickly if he hadn't paid attention to the Turkish issue in the past two months. The problem is that he hadn't heard of any major changes that had happened that stimulated both Russia and Turkey?
"The Bulgarians sent a delegation to St. Petersburg. They have met with His Majesty and asked Your Majesty to help them get justice and help them escape from Turkish control!"
Anton was stunned. It was obvious that the Bulgarian delegation had arrived by chance. It was obvious that this was intentional!
At this sensitive moment, Bulgaria, the center of the whirlpool, sends such a delegation to St. Petersburg. This is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire!
Li Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, it adds fuel to the fire. It is said that this delegation was arranged by Count Neserrodie. Our old prime minister can't sit still!"
"Nesselrode!!!"
Anton cried out. In his impression, the old prime minister shouldn't be so impulsive. At least he had always opposed Nicholas I's blind expansion in the past. Why is he acting uncharacteristically now?
Li Xiao replied calmly: "He is under too much pressure. Too many people in the country are coveting his position. He has controlled the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister for too long. It would be fine if it was peacetime. The last great revolution emboldened the military.
He is so swollen that he is naturally not interested in his stuff. There are too many people in the country who want to make contributions and climb up the ladder, so they naturally target him!"
Li Xiao smiled contemptuously and said: "So the old man has been squeezed out enough. Now His Majesty and the military want to get rid of his control. If he continues to stick to the old rules, I am afraid he will have no choice but to return to Vienna to retire. He is not willing to call it a day.
We can only give it a go and prepare to vent this torrent by bullying the Turks!"
After a pause, Li Xiao guessed: "I guess he wants to let the military and His Majesty eat their fill by solving Turkey, and then transfer part of the benefits to Britain and France through manipulative negotiations, so as to ease the tense relationship between us and Britain and France...
Eventually he regains the balance he wants, and then everything is business as usual!"
This set of operating techniques is not new to Anton, and he agrees with the old fox's usual style. But he does not think that things are that simple. This time, the resentment of Britain and France against Russia cannot be dismissed by petty profits. It can be said that these two families will be eliminated.
Napoleon had no dealings with Russia from the beginning. With the last time Russia acted as the European military police to suppress European revolutions, this resentment gradually reached its peak.
For Britain and France, it is simply impossible to watch Russia continue to expand, otherwise the entire European continent will be shrouded in the shadow of Russia, and Russia may become the dominant power in the future!
Therefore, it is definitely the consensus of Britain and France to give Russia a heads-up and interrupt the pace of Russia's expansion. As long as these two countries reach an agreement, it is not particularly difficult to use their national strength to deal with Russia. At least it will interrupt the pace of Russia's expansion and give Russia
A profound lesson can be learned.
This also determined that Neserrodie's strategy of first punishing Turkey and forcing it to cut a large piece of meat to meet the needs of Nicholas I and his favorite generals, and then throwing away a small piece of meat to send away Britain and France could not succeed.
The more likely outcome is that Russia was given a slap in the face and then completely defeated. Not only was it unable to eat meat from Turkey, but it also had to cut off a large piece of meat for those jackals, tigers and leopards to let go.
And if such a result occurs, then Neserrodie will definitely collapse, and the political structure of Russia will also be completely rewritten, and everything will be reshuffled. This seems to be a good opportunity!
Anton knew what Count Rostovtsev had been planning, and this was the opportunity he had dreamed of. It was obvious that Li Xiao also saw this opportunity, so he felt that Kiev was coming.
Anton couldn't help but think about what he could do for this?
