Count Uvarov glared at Chernyshev angrily, as if he were looking at a fool.
Because Chernyshev did say stupid things, and he didn’t even think about who Paskovich was and what his temper was. When he got angry, even Nicholas I dared to contradict him, and Nicholas I also
I have to be respectful to my father.
Can Uvarov convince such a person by writing a letter? What's more, this matter is related to his vital interests. With the old guy's mentality of cherishing feathers more and more in recent years, he will allow Uvarov to
Risking his life?
Besides, you didn’t see what they were doing. If this matter could be discussed privately, then Paskovich would not put pressure on the War Department through public channels, but would write a letter to discuss it privately!
But this time, he didn't smuggle it through channels at all, but directly and openly put pressure on the War Department. Isn't it obvious what this means?
Obviously Dad thinks this matter is non-negotiable. No matter whether Chernyshov is happy or unhappy, willing or unwilling, he must be given enough reinforcements. He doesn’t care about Neserrode or other nonsense about changing the prime minister.
, he just wants reinforcements!
And Count Uvarov really didn't dare to disobey Paskovich. After all, it would not be his turn to sit in that position if the prime minister changed. But once Paskovich became unhappy and refused to cooperate with him, then Uvarov would
Earl Husband is very embarrassed among conservatives!
Count Uvarov could easily figure out which was more important, so he felt that Chernyshev was a fool.
However, Chernyshov was not really stupid, because he was the most enthusiastic and had the greatest relevant interests in the matter of defeating Neserrodie.
It can be said that once Neserrodie falls, he will be a strong contender for the position of prime minister. Looking at the cabinet situation, apart from Neserrodie who was first shouldered by the Foreign Minister, the second-ranking figure besides him is Menshi
Koff.
Although Menshikov is more favored and seems to have a greater chance, don't forget that the old man is already very old and has very little energy, and he is not enough to take on the important task of prime minister.
But he is young and powerful, and he is the first person to actively bring down Neserrodie. As long as Count Uvarov is willing to support him, he may really aspire to the throne of prime minister.
And this is also the key reason why Chernyshov has been so actively cooperating with Count Uvarov recently and has been trying to dismantle Serrodie. How could he not do his best because of his interests.
Naturally, Count Uvarov retreated when he saw it. Even if he knew that Paskovich was not easy to persuade, he still had to give it a try. What if Count Uvarov accepted his suggestion in a flash of inspiration?
It's a pity that although Count Uvarov has suffered from brain cramps in recent years, he has maintained a high level today. What's more, he is not ignorant of Chernyshev's plot, so naturally he will not help stupidly.
Chestnuts taken from the fire.
Chernyshov left Count Uvarov's residence with a disappointed look on his face. He knew that it was impossible to become prime minister for the time being. Count Uvarov's attitude was very firm, and Duke Ordorf and others
There was obvious opposition, and even Paskovich also caused trouble for him. If Nicholas I was not willing to do so, he simply had little hope!
Unwilling to do so, he was very depressed. He felt that he had been busy for so long and had not gained anything, just like a fool. Should he reconsider whether he should continue to follow Count Uvarov's path?
It's getting dark!
It has to be said that Count Uvarov's reputation and prestige have dropped extremely sharply this year. With the rise of young factions such as Baryatinsky, the challenges to him are getting bigger and bigger, including Chernyshev.
A group of buddies within the group have also gradually begun to dissociate themselves from each other. Huge cracks can be vaguely seen within the entire group, and it is not impossible to fall apart.
"You should have realized that Count Uvarov is a thing of the past!"
After bidding farewell to Count Uvarov, Chernyshov welcomed Pobedonostsev's cousin, Viscount Alexander Balak, in his office.
As the liaison officer of the Baryatinsky family in St. Petersburg, this person has also been very active recently. He has contacted Chernyshev several times and constantly persuaded him to change sides and side with Baryatinsky.
.
Before, Chernyshev thought that he had a chance to become prime minister, so he was naturally not very interested. But now a basin of cold water poured over his heart, and he felt that it was really necessary to think more about his options.
As long as you are not blind, you can see Baryatinsky's future. With Crown Prince Alexander on his back, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be the number one person in the military in the future. If you follow him, at least you don't have to worry about being marginalized after the Crown Prince ascends the throne.
change.
However, Chernyshev did not dare to place a casual bet. After all, although Count Uvarov was in a slight decline, he was not in obvious defeat. Once he changed his family, he would definitely be resented and suppressed by Count Uvarov.
You must know that his position as Minister of War was relatively stable before because of the support of Count Uvarov. Once there was no support from Count Uvarov, plus the trouble he just had with Duke Ordorf and others was not too big.
Happy, maybe he will step down first before Neserrode falls.
But you asked him to refuse Baryatinsky's olive branch, but he couldn't do it. For a while, he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to choose.
At this time, Viscount Alexander Barak smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be too entangled. After all, the relationship between the Duke and Count Uvarov has not broken down. We are all on the same side and there will be no internal strife!"
Chernyshev didn't quite believe it. He said it as if you had no disagreements before. You're lying!
Viscount Alexander Barrack continued: "Although the Duke and the Earl do have differences on some issues, these can be resolved, and the two sides are completely consistent in the general direction!"
"And the Duke does not want you to part ways with the Earl, but he hopes that if the Duke and the Earl have differences on some important key issues, you can make a more appropriate choice!"
Chernyshev was obviously stunned. He never expected that the conditions offered by Baryatinsky were so generous. He did not need to show his sincerity immediately or even express his attitude immediately. As long as Baryatinsky and Ukraine
Count Varov just takes sides when the final showdown comes.
With such good conditions, there was nothing to hesitate about. He was immediately tempted, but an old fox like him would definitely have to ask one more question:
"These conditions are very reasonable and I can agree to them, but I want to know what benefits this will bring to me?"
