Dmitri thought about it again and again, and decided to remind Pobedonostsev to pay attention to Paskovich, and not to let this old Qiuba spoil the big event!
"The Commander-in-Chief is likely to use his personal relationship to make this suggestion to His Majesty." Dmitri said calmly and without any emotion.
Pobedonostsev was stunned and stared at Dmitri in surprise for a long time before he slowly said: "I know!"
I know this, which is a bit intriguing. Dmitri thought for a moment and felt that Pobedonostsev meant: I know, but I can't do anything.
This result did not surprise Dmitry, because anyone who knew Nicholas I knew how unreasonable the tsar was crazy and paranoid. But Paskovich's status and the relationship between him and Nicholas
If he wanted to give Nicholas I private advice, no one could stop him.
As for opposing Paskovich's proposal at the Imperial Council, to be honest, Pobedonostsev was not even qualified to participate in the Imperial Council, let alone oppose it. The only thing he could do was to tell Crown Prince Alexander
Say, ask the crown prince to stop Paskovich or persuade Nicholas I.
But these two possibilities were too small. Crown Prince Alexander could neither stop Paskovich nor persuade Nicholas I. He would only be asking for trouble if he said these things.
It was not something Pobedonostsev would do to make a suggestion that would make the Crown Prince unhappy. So he told Dmitri simply and plainly that I knew but I would do nothing.
This attitude is a bit disappointing, but Demirit's reaction is not particularly violent, because it is normal, and Pobedonostsev did not lie. Neither he nor Crown Prince Alexander's influence is too limited.
There is absolutely no way to stop it.
But Dmitry is still disappointed, because knowing that something cannot be done but still doing it is a rare quality. You can't stop loving Russia just because she is conservative, barbaric and backward? After all, this is the motherland!
For Dmitry, being patriotic or dissuading the king from doing the right thing is his responsibility and obligation, and he must do it. Even if he does not get any favors, he must do it!
Pobedonostsev had been observing Dmitri's expression and could naturally guess what he wanted to do. He felt that this was really unnecessary and a complete waste of time. There was no benefit at all.
However, he could also understand why Dmitry was so insistent, that is, Paskovich's suggestion was indeed a scam. Even if he was a military layman, he could see that the risk was too great. If it failed, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops would be killed.
Pushed into the fire pit!
How many 100,000 people can Russia sacrifice at will? The military strength is already stretched thin. If 100,000 people are killed all at once, the pressure on the battlefield will be even greater, not to mention the international impact will be very bad.
Once countries discover that Russia is not invincible, and even Turkey can destroy 100,000 Russian troops, then there is nothing to be afraid of, and they can directly increase investment to kill the Russians!
Pobedonostsev is very clear about how much Russia has attracted international hatred in recent years. Once Russia is in trouble, a lot of people will definitely add insult to injury, and the sky will fall!
Of course he was not happy to see such a result, but he still believed that Paskovich and Nicholas I were stubborn donkeys and could not be persuaded at all. Instead of asking for trouble, it was better to think of ways to turn bad things into good things.
!
Please note that Pobedonostsev’s so-called turning a bad thing into a good thing is not trying to eliminate the negative impact of the possible fiasco caused by Paskovich, but trying to use this fiasco to make a fuss and help Crown Prince Alexander
and their factions seeking greater power.
This is the biggest difference between Pobedonostsev and Dmitry. The former always gives priority to the interests of small groups, while the latter considers the overall interests of Russia more.
The difference in structure between the two sides is not the slightest, so Dmitry can be considered great, while Crown Prince Alexander and Pobedonostsev and his like are just barely.
After bidding farewell to Pobedonostsev, Dmitri immediately found Li Xiao and Alexei. He also knew that he was a man of few words, and his voice alone was too low to stop Paskovich.
, only by finding more friends and speaking out together can we possibly stop that old Qiu Ba.
However, Li Xiao immediately poured cold water on him: "We already know the situation you mentioned, and we are firmly opposed to Mrs. Paskovich's military adventure."
"It's just that maybe even if we object, we won't be able to stop him. As far as I know, he has officially proposed the plan to His Majesty, and is preparing to deploy 30,000 naval infantry from the Black Sea Fleet and 80,000 army troops to conduct an amphibious operation."
Dmitri was dumbfounded. Hearing what Pobedonostsev said, he thought that Paskovich just had an idea and suddenly had an idea. But according to Li Xiao, the old Qiu Ba had already launched a full-scale battle.
The plans and plans have probably been reported to Nicholas I!
This is troublesome!
Because it was just an idea, I could still rush to debate it and tell Paskovich that it was impossible.
But they have even worked out the battle plan, and they are ready to start! I won’t beep with you at all!
"When did it happen?" Dmitri asked solemnly.
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "It's just these two days, Duke Mikhail just told us, I'm afraid that old Qiu Ba has been planning for a long time!"
Dmitri suddenly understood and thought that Li Xiao was right. Paskovich must have planned it for a long time and it was definitely not a temporary move.
It's normal when you think about it. As the commander-in-chief, he has no command authority and can only be a senior supervisor. This is definitely unacceptable to him who is arrogant and arrogant.
Even if he knew that this was the arrangement of Nicholas I, he would definitely be unhappy and would try his best to perform some actions to prove his existence.
This amphibious operation plan suits his taste very well. First of all, it is an offensive operation, which is completely different from the defensive operation that Duke Mikhail has recently insisted on. It can show that he and Duke Mikhail are completely different.
Secondly, the scale of the battle is only about 100,000 people, but if it succeeds, the effect will be inestimable. It can be regarded as a small gain. If he really succeeds, it will be a slap in the face of Duke Mikhail and tell the world
He, Paskovich, is the first Russian god of war.
"What to do now?" Dmitri asked solemnly.
Li Xiao and Alexei looked at each other. To be honest, they were unprepared for this. They didn't expect that Paskovich would make such a move. What could they do in this short time?
