Therefore, Grand Duke Constantine was vague on the Turkish issue, which seemed to avoid the conflict with Menshikov, but in fact it made his old father very unhappy. In comparison, Nicholas I and Menshikov
Is it difficult to weigh whether a husband is more important or less important?
Kornilov asked: "Are you 100% sure that His Majesty holds a strong stance?"
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not sure, but I'm 100% sure. The turmoil in Bulgaria was completely caused by His Majesty. With his character, how can he give up if he doesn't achieve his goal?"
Nasimov said: "Does this mean that Grand Duke Constantine is going to hit a wall on this issue?"
"It's not about hitting a wall! It's about being taught a lesson. You'll see later that he can't get anything good from you!"
Kornilov frowned and asked: "In that case, if His Majesty really taught the Grand Duke a lesson, would he..."
Li Xiao knew what Kornilov was worried about. If Grand Duke Constantine didn't wake up after being taught a lesson, he wouldn't be worthy of sitting in the position he is in today. It was obvious that with his IQ, he could immediately realize that his old man was
What is my father's position on the Bulgarian issue?
In this way, he, who is trying every possible means to be a good son, will definitely be flattered in every possible way. With his unlimited ability, he may change from a hesitant fence-sitter to a violent radical who shouts for fights and killings.
In that case, he will definitely force Kornilov and Nassimov to take tough measures, which is not a good thing!
Li Xiao also fell silent, because after this situation occurred, Kornilov and Nassimov did not have many choices. They could either cooperate with Grand Duke Constantine and shout to kill, or the fake radicals would be exposed for their true nature.
The essence of a conservative.
Given Nicholas I's personality, what would he think? He must have hated Kornilov and Nassimov from the bottom of his heart, which is really a pain in the ass!
"So we must calm down this turmoil as soon as possible!" Li Xiao sighed, "This matter must be settled before Grand Duke Constantine learns His Majesty's true attitude. We must not delay it. The longer we delay, the more passive we will become!"
"What should we do?" Nassimov asked.
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "In addition to satisfying Menshikov, what else can we do?"
"You say so?" Nasimov hesitated.
Li Xiao replied categorically: "Yes, come up with a draft that Menshikov can accept. As long as the old eunuch is satisfied, it doesn't matter even if Kostya is vague and doesn't give an accurate letter!"
The truth is this. The problem is that it is not easy to satisfy Menshikov. Although this old eunuch is hooking up with Neserrodie behind the scenes, on the surface he is Nicholas I's loyal dog.
With his whole-hearted attitude of sharing his master's worries and solving his problems, no one would think that he is actually a conservative and does not want to go to war with Turkey.
In order to maintain his pretense, Menshikov definitely cannot accept a perfunctory plan that seems to have no merit at first glance. What he needs is a plan that looks tough but will not actually irritate Turkey.
Solution for sensitive nerves.
This kind of plan is not that easy to come up with. At least Li Xiao himself has no idea, but here he even gave Kornilov and Nasimov ideas and asked them to come up with a solution. This is also a scam!
"Let's try our best!" Kornilov sighed, scratched the increasingly sparse head of his head and lamented: "But this is too difficult, and we are not sure that we will be able to do it!"
Li Xiao also knew that it was indeed a bit difficult, so he also sighed and said: "If it doesn't work, you can fool him with a radical plan. If he doesn't agree, you can continue to come up with the same radical plan, even if in the end Constan
It doesn’t matter if Grand Duke Ding reacts!”
Kornilov and Nasimov looked at each other, feeling that this was a bit self-defeating. What if the war was really caused by Grand Duke Konstantin's anger, wouldn't it be difficult to explain?
"There's nothing hard to explain!" Li Xiao sighed, "We can't let us block the train, right? There are some people who want to die and we can't stop them. Instead of thinking about those nonsense,
It's better to prepare in advance. Don't put too much pressure on both of you. Try to do what you need to do. Just make the plan and stick to a radical attitude. The key point is to supervise the defense project. This is the foundation!
"
Obviously Li Xiao was prepared for the worst. Rather than spending all his energy dealing with Menshikov and Grand Duke Constantine, these two troublesome people, he might as well just jump out and do his own thing. Be prepared for war.
Being prepared for the worst-case scenario is better than anything else!
"I am also preparing to return to Bucharest. If nothing else happens, it is unlikely that I will come to Sevastopol again this year." Li Xiao sighed and said to Kornilov and Nassimov, "Friends
Everyone, I hope everything goes well for you. Be prepared for the worst and prepare sufficient supplies. The worst is coming soon!"
Kornilov and Nasimov were not in a good mood either. Not only did Li Xiao's judgment make them feel pessimistic, but these messy things also made them upset. But they also knew that there was no use in complaining and complaining.
The most important thing is to be down-to-earth and prepared.
Li Xiao left Sevastopol with a determined attitude. When he took a boat to leave the dock, he looked at the fortress city from the sea. In history, this city suffered cruel destruction. The British army, the French army,
The Russian army launched a confrontation with corpses strewn across the field. It can be said that every inch of land outside the city was soaked in blood.
Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy losses, but the soldiers and civilians in the city also had a hard time. The brutal siege lasted for a year, the plague was rampant, and it was simply a hell on earth.
But even if Li Xiao knew the tragic consequences, he was powerless to stop it. He could only hope that his friends would have better luck and not lose their lives in vain.
The atmospheres in Wallachia and Sevastopol are completely different. Although Wallachia has entered a state of full war preparations early according to the orders of Li Xiao and Alexei, it has been hoarding supplies, repairing fortifications and training new recruits almost non-stop.
But for the Wallachians, especially the Wallachian nobles, there is no nervousness at all. They are generally optimistic that a war may break out in the future. It is not that they think that the war will not break out, but that they think that the war will break out even if it breaks out.
It will end soon. Compared with the strong polar bears, Turkey is like a rough old man.
Most of the Wallachian nobles believe that Turkey will collapse in one strike, and that the liberation of Bulgaria is within easy reach, and there is no need to worry about it at all...
