Chapter five hundred and forty-eight ghost thoughts
The problem is that centrists like Duke Ordorff are not cooperating. In fact, to put it mildly, the differences between centrists like Duke Ordorff and Prince Mikhail and conservatives have become bigger and bigger in recent years.
.
If it weren't for this war, Duke Ordov wouldn't want to deal with Chernyshev. He felt that these guys who were conservative to the core were completely out of touch with the times, and they were simply clinging to the past.
Therefore, it is completely meaningless for Chernyshev to deliberately steer the conversation in the direction of Neserroddie. Duke Ordov tactfully expressed his attitude in a few sentences. If he just talked about fighting Turkey, he
Can cooperate.
But if the topic of changing the Prime Minister comes up, then he will not accompany you!
This makes Chernyshev more embarrassed. Look at the other people sitting in this room. Needless to say, Duke Vorontsov is an old liberal. He is not the same as him and it is impossible to support him.
.
Nikolai Golitsyn's personal prestige is not bad, but as an academic in the military, he is interested in criticizing Kutuzov, but he is not sensitive to getting involved in such an important matter as changing the prime minister.
For a moment, Chernyshev was a little embarrassed. Almost no one responded to his words. He could only laugh and change the topic and said: "Two hundred thousand reinforcements are a bit small, but the country is indeed in difficulty. Today is a troubled time, and everyone
No one is stable and they all need the army to maintain order!"
He seems to have softened, but in fact he has not. He did it on purpose, to blackmail Duke Ordorff and others. It means that if you don't cooperate with me in attacking Neserrodie, then there is no need for me to cooperate with you and ask for more troops to support Mi.
Duke Hail.
Chernyshev felt that his move should be able to grasp Duke Ordov and others within seven inches, and he was not afraid that they would not cooperate.
Prince Ordorf and Prince Vorontsov looked at each other. They both knew as if they were in the clear mirror. They knew that Chernyshev was up to no good, and they were ready to find ways to manipulate them.
It's just that this move is a bit childish. Are they so easy to control? What's more, you think that the reinforcements are only a matter for Duke Mikhail. Do you really think that you, the Minister of War, can dominate the army with one hand?
So neither of them answered the question, and naturally the meeting couldn't go on. This made Chernyshev a little confused. Wasn't Duke Ordov very anxious just now? Why was he suddenly not anxious anymore?
He thought that the matter was too big and Duke Ordorff needed to go back to find someone to discuss the matter. He thought that there would be good news in a few days.
But he waited and waited, but there was no news and no one came to him. Count Uvarov, who had been waiting for news, became impatient.
"Are you sure they went back to discuss and discuss?" Count Uvarov asked with a frown.
Chernyshev nodded subconsciously and replied: "That should be so. Count, don't you also think that they don't have many choices? Who would agree to send more reinforcements if Neserrodie is not replaced?"
Count Uvarov did not say anything, thinking about something silently. Seeing that he was a little worried, Chernyshev immediately continued to explain: "Count, how about I go find out about the situation, and if that doesn't work, I can put more pressure on them."
obedient!"
Tsk!
Count Uvarov glared at him, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, don't be reckless! Duke Ordorf and others are not easy to offend, otherwise it will be very troublesome!"
Chernyshev snorted nonchalantly in his heart. To be honest, he felt that Count Uvarov was too cautious. Now that the conservatives have basically reached an agreement on changing the prime minister, they think that a giant ship can easily crush the blockers.
Of all the small boats on the waterway, what is there to be afraid of?
But he didn't dare to fool around in front of Count Uvarov, so he could only accompany him with a silly smile. For a while, just as Count Uvarov was about to say something to him, he heard a knock on the door. Uvarov
The old butler of the Earl Husband said loudly outside the door:
"Sir, His Excellency the Earl's secretary is here. He has something urgent to see you and the Earl!"
"Let him in!"
Count Uvarov looked at Chernyshev as he answered, as if asking: "What is going on?"
Chernyshev was also confused. Although the War Department has been very busy recently, it was all busy with the war against Turkey as a routine. There was no need to bother him with those trivial matters. So why did the secretary come here?
Soon Chernyshov and Uvarov knew the reason. The secretary told them that Paskovich had written a strongly worded letter, asking the War Ministry to quickly get more reinforcements to the imperial court, otherwise this would happen.
There is no way to fight the war.
Lao Qiu Ba's tone in the letter was extremely tough, as if he was not asking for help but ordering Chernyshev, but this made the latter dare not have any dissatisfaction, because he really couldn't afford to offend Lao Qiu Ba!
At this time, Count Uvarov sighed, because he finally figured out why Duke Ordov and others were indifferent to their proposal. They are simply confident, okay?
Yes, although everyone in the government and the public knew that Duke Mikhail was commanding the battle, the nominal commander-in-chief of the Russian army was Paskovich.
Although Lao Qiu Ba cannot shoulder the heavy command tasks due to physical reasons, his commander-in-chief is more like a senior military supervisor sent by Nicholas I. But no one dares to ignore his influence, and his character naturally cannot sit idly by.
Duke Mikhail is frustrated. After all, he is still the nominal commander-in-chief. If this war is not fought well, he will suffer the consequences!
What's more, Paskovich is not really an old fool. The reason why Duke Mikhail has been unable to make progress in the war is that Russia does not have enough understanding of this war and is not ready for Britain and France to participate in the war.
, Austria was lagging behind, and Prussia was watching the preparations for the show.
These serious strategic misjudgments are the key to the problem. It is not easy for Duke Mikhail to maintain the situation. Naturally, Paskovich will not add insult to injury, not to mention that he and Duke Mikhail are still on the same rope.
The grasshopper above will naturally help to speak!
Speaking of which, Paskovich is also a conservative, and he is also an important pillar of the conservatives in the military. Now this big boss has directly issued a request, can you not agree?
If you are indifferent and refuse to agree, then if he is assassinated, most of the conservative forces in the military will collapse. Count Uvarov also hopes that Paskovich will help curb Baryatinsky's maintenance
situation, so how dare he offend Paskovich?
Soon Chernyshev also figured out the reason. He suggested to Count Uvarov nonchalantly: "How about you write to His Excellency the Prince to explain the situation. I believe he will understand..."
