When Prince Michael talked with Grand Duke Constantine, he was surprised, depressed and a little bit sick.
Why are the Duke's emotions so complicated?
Quite simply, he was surprised that Grand Duke Constantine would ask him for help. You must know that he was not close to the Grand Duke and had not had much friendship before. Normally, the other party should not ask him for help.
But Grand Duke Constantine just came to the door, and even offered a price that made Duke Mikhail very tempted. He knew that as long as he nodded, Moldavia would almost be on his dining table.
Already.
And this was the most depressing thing for him, because although the money was attractive, he knew that if he really accepted Grand Duke Constantine's kindness, he might not be able to live in the future!
Why do you say that?
Because anyone with no brain problems or blind eyes can see that the future tsar must be Crown Prince Alexander. And the relationship between this crown prince and Grand Duke Constantine is very complicated and very bad.
If you accept the good intentions of Grand Duke Constantine at this time, you will be on the opposite side of Crown Prince Alexander. In this way, when Crown Prince Alexander ascends the throne, will you be able to enjoy good fruits?
So the benefits are big enough and there are enough benefits, but Duke Mikhail really doesn’t dare to eat it. Is there anything more depressing than being able to see it but not being able to eat it?
As for the pain in the ass, it’s because Duke Mikhail thinks that Grand Duke Constantine is really a talented person, but he plays like this even though he has a good hand of cards. What kind of idiot is this!
And it is precisely because of his stupidity that the battle on his side is not smooth. Although the supply in Moldavia is not smooth, it is only a secondary reason, but if the road there is smoother, some key nodes may be opened up.
Not to say that the situation is completely different, but at least it won't be as passive as it is now.
When he thought that it was Grand Duke Constantine who caused this series of troubles, Duke Mikhail hated him. But it happened that he was the Grand Duke, and the local gangsters in Moldavia were indeed making a lot of trouble.
Dare to plan to gain greater autonomy. What does this mean? Do you really want to rebel?
Duke Mikhail knew very well Nicholas I's attitude towards the rebels. Look at how he dealt with Poland. Even the so-called reforms carried out by Grand Duke Constantine were indeed a bit excessive, but for Nicholas I
Said this is by no means a reason to rebel.
Therefore, he must be focused on suppressing it now and will never allow the Moldavia to jump up and down and continue to do whatever they want. At this time, if anyone ignores or even delays the fight against the rebellion, it is absolutely a heinous crime.
Especially for a military giant like Duke Mikhail, who is closest to Moldavia and also has counter-insurgency capabilities, he must show positive performance, otherwise it will be politically incorrect and condone the rebels.
In short, Duke Mikhail must do something to show off, but he can't do it too actively, because it will offend Crown Prince Alexander. Look at what this is, do you think he can do it?
?
After thinking again and again, Duke Mikhail replied: "Your Highness, I am also very concerned about Moldavia being ravaged by rebel bandits. However, the Turkish offensive has been very fierce in recent times. I am really nervous and I am afraid I can't take it out."
Send troops to assist you in suppressing the rebellion."
Grand Duke Constantine's face suddenly collapsed, because he felt that he was still very sincere and his attitude was at the lowest level, almost asking Duke Mikhail in a lowly manner.
This doesn’t even give you face, so what else is there to say!
Anyway, he was quite angry. He felt that Viscount Prozolov had given him a bad idea and made him lose all face.
Just when Grand Duke Constantine was about to leave, Duke Mikhail suddenly said: "But leaving the rebels alone is not an option. Moldavia is the most important logistics supply channel and base for our army. Its
Any changes will directly affect the course of the war."
Grand Duke Constantine suddenly felt a little hope again in his heart. He thought that Duke Mikhail was suppressing first and then rising. He wanted to say something immediately, but Duke Mikhail stopped him with his hand.
"But my troops are really tight here and I can't mobilize any manpower. How about this? I'll ask Count Speransky and General Dmitry Milyutin to see if there are any Wallachian garrison troops and national troops.
Yuli, how about it?"
Grand Duke Constantine was dumbfounded. He had never expected that Duke Mikhail would give such a suggestion. Judging from what he meant, he was planning to have Wallachia send troops to help suppress the rebellion. Why was this suggestion so... so...
Where's the pain in your balls?
Yes, now it’s Grand Duke Constantine’s turn to be pissed. His relationship with Alexey and Li Xiao is a mess. You said the relationship is particularly bad. Yes, both parties dig holes in each other, right?
Once or twice, he even dreamed of cheating the other party.
But, every time he dug a hole, he was always the one who got cheated, which made him hate those two people even more. However, Grand Duke Constantine had to admit that sometimes there was a basis for cooperation between the two parties.
If Wallachia is willing to help him, he is also willing to pay some prices and cede some benefits. But it is impossible to expect him to please Alexey and Li Xiao like he did to Duke Mikhail.
Even if these two people could do something that Duke Mikhail couldn't do, he still believed that the other party could gain as much benefit as Duke Mikhail.
This is the reason why Grand Duke Constantine has always been unwilling to deal with Li Xiao and Alexey. He completely depends on others, and obviously the efforts are the same, but he can willingly conquer Moldavia with both hands.
It was given to Duke Mikhail and allowed to be picked. But if it was Li Xiao and Alexey, they could only eat the scraps. Even this he felt that he had suffered a loss.
It is conceivable that Li Xiao and Alexei will definitely not recognize what Grand Duke Constantine said. Who do you think you are? You have to act like you are asking for help. Why do you think you are an uncle when you act like this?
What's there to be ashamed of?
It is conceivable that the first meeting between the two sides was not particularly pleasant. Grand Duke Constantine was trying to make a fuss, but Li Xiao and Alexey did not accept his words at all. Anyway, it was Moldavia that was in chaos.
It's not them who are burning their butts. If you want to do it, then just do it. We don't owe you anything. What's more, Moldavia is still a quagmire. If you step in, you won't get the fish you want, but you'll end up in a mess!
"Your Highness, if you have this attitude, then there is really nothing I can do!" Duke Mikhail also laughed angrily at Grand Duke Constantine's mysterious operation. He could only speak out to let someone know how serious the reality is.
