Four hundred and fortieth chapters get rid of the black pot
"Menshikov's move was malicious. It was clear that he wanted the Black Sea Fleet to take the blame for him!" Li Xiao said to Kornilov and Nasimov.
"The old eunuch is under a lot of pressure. As far as I know, both Count Neserrodie and His Majesty have put tremendous pressure on him. He doesn't dare to offend either side, so he is forced to kick the ball!"
Kornilov and Nasimov nodded. Although they thought Menshikov's order was a bit strange before, they didn't think much about it. Now that Li Xiao helped them pierce the window paper, they reacted immediately.
The two of them immediately became angry. They had been indirectly tricked by Menshikov last time. Although Li Xiao helped them figure out a way to get through safely with their superior chess skills in the end. But it can't be done differently. It's too much for you to come here.
!
But what Kornilov and Nasimov didn't expect was that Li Xiao waved his hand and said: "But this time the old eunuch is not actually the most fatal. The old eunuch is at least a little damaged, but it is not fatal.
But I guess Kostya won’t just sit back and watch, he is really bad!”
Kornilov and Nasimov were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that according to Menshikov's method, Grand Duke Constantine, the acting commander, was the worst offender. If he didn't want to be tricked, then obviously he would just
They can lure others into trouble, and in the Black Sea Fleet, who else is more suitable to be deceived than these two brothers?
After thinking about it, Kornilov and Nassimov smiled bitterly as they knew each other. They didn't know whether it was right to deal with Belkh in the first place. Compared with the commander who did not do practical things, Konstantin was full of bad intentions.
Grand Duke Ding seems to be even more difficult to deal with!
Do your job and let Kornilov train the troops or fight. He will not be afraid of stubborn soldiers or the most ferocious enemies. He has many ways to make these guys honest.
But if he was asked to engage in political intrigue and play tricks with guys like Grand Duke Constantine, he was really not good at it, and he didn't like it either. He was opposed to these things from the bottom of his heart, and would not touch them if he could.
Nassimov is not much different. The two of them are actually very similar, otherwise their relationship would not be so harmonious.
So they could only stare at Li Xiao with wide eyes, hoping that Li Xiao could help them find a solution.
Li Xiao knew this was the result. Let these two fight with Grand Duke Constantine. It was really like the little sheep playing house with the big bad wolf. The most likely possibility was that the little sheep turned into a roasted whole lamb and put it on the big bad wolf.
Home dining table.
Li Xiao said slowly: "The matter is very difficult. I estimate that Grand Duke Constantine will rush to Sevastopol immediately after learning this information. Have you informed him?"
As the acting commander of the Black Sea Fleet, such a big thing must be notified, and Kornilov and Nassimov suspected that even if they deliberately did not notify, someone in the Black Sea Fleet would tip off Grand Duke Constantine.
It is impossible to truly prevent this kind of thing, and it is not necessary.
Kornilov kindly reminded: "I have informed you, but I suspect that he will be informed of the news earlier..."
In fact, Li Xiao didn't need to remind him at all. He knew that this would be the case, so he nodded and continued: "In other words, Kostya will be back in no more than a week at the latest. He will definitely cause trouble by then, so we
We must make full use of his absence to prepare..."
Kornilov and Nasimov also felt a headache when they heard that Grand Duke Constantine would be back as soon as a week. They had continued to have this headache since Lazarev's death. Whether it was Belkh or Kon
Grand Duke Standing is the kind of insidious villain who likes to cause trouble and do random things. Dealing with such villains is too difficult!
"How to prepare?" Kornilov asked with a sigh.
This is a good question, because Li Xiao doesn't have a completely effective way. After all, Grand Duke Constantine is nominally the acting commander of the Black Sea Fleet. If he insists on messing around, there are really not many ways.
If it were in the past, you could just do it under the pretext of carrying out Menshikov's orders, but now Menshikov's side also has bad intentions, and the bad guys are getting together to make trouble. How do you think this can be done?
Speaking of Menshikov, Li Xiao suddenly thought that since the old guy had made it clear that he was playing football to avoid responsibility, could he take advantage of it?
He felt a little suffocated before. How come you gods are fighting but let the brats who are doing serious things suffer? How can this make sense!
"How about teasing Menshikov into having a fight with Grand Duke Constantine?" Li Xiao said.
Kornilov and Nasimov thought about it, and it would be great if possible. Since these two are not good people anyway, it would be easier to let them bite each other. It’s just that they want to bite them.
It's not easy, after all, these two idiots are very clever.
Li Xiao also knew that it was not easy, but he had to try no matter what, so he said to Kornilov and Nasimov: "If you come up with a comparison now before Grand Duke Constantine arrives in Sevastopol,
How about a radical solution?”
A more radical solution?
Kornilov and Nasimov thought for a while and roughly understood what Li Xiao meant. Menshikov's original intention was to kick the ball and avoid responsibility. So he definitely didn't want the Black Sea Fleet to make a radical plan. After all,
If a fight really broke out, it would be difficult for him to explain to Neserrodie.
Therefore, if Kornilov and Nassimov offer him an extremely drastic plan, he will not be able to agree to it in the first place. He will definitely oppose it or simply withdraw the plan and let the Black Sea Fleet do it again.
At that time, Grand Duke Constantine was likely to have returned to Sevastopol. At this time, Menshikov rejected the radical plan, so Grand Duke Konstantin could not let Kornilov and Nasimov win a new title.
An equally radical plan dug a hole.
In this way, the most deceptive possibility is eliminated. If Grand Duke Konstantin is not convinced, then Kornilov and Nassimov will directly fly up and lift the ball to Menshikov, allowing Konstantin to
The Grand Duke and Menshikov went to fight against each other.
If they really quarrel, then Li Xiao and Kornilov can relax and just move to the benches to watch the show.
Of course, if Grand Duke Constantine does not cause trouble and does not advocate radical plans, it is impossible to stimulate Turkey with a lukewarm plan, and it will naturally not cause much harm. And Menshikov is naturally happy to see it.
If it works, then the final result may be that Nicholas I will be dissatisfied.
But what does that have to do with Kornilov and the others? This plan was jointly approved by you, Grand Duke Konstantin and Menshikov, and you have to bear the blame!
