After Grand Duke Constantine made the most basic judgment, he was naturally not so angry, but he was still a little unwilling because he felt that he had never been free to do what he wanted to do.
No matter what he does, there are always a lot of people and things that interfere with him and prevent him from performing at all. For example, right now, he is obviously the governor of Moldavia and the one who should govern this country, but what he wants to do
There is absolutely nothing he can do. A bunch of outsiders are either messing with him or taking away the initiative that originally belonged to him, making him like a puppet on strings, no different from a decoration.
He very much suspected that this was because some people or forces saw that he was easy to bully, and were ready to intervene forcefully in Moldavia's affairs, and to take away the power that originally belonged to him little by little. Thanks to his father's years of education, he was very good at maintaining power.
But very enthusiastic.
Anyway, now he is very worried that his authority will be taken away and he will eventually be reduced to a human mascot.
He asked: "Even if we must maintain the current general policy, there is nothing wrong with adjusting the details, right?"
Viscount Prozolov sighed inwardly. How could he not know what the Grand Duke wanted to do? To put it bluntly, he was unwilling to be manipulated and listened to Duke Mikhail, Dmitry and the Duke.
Following my brother's orders, I always want to highlight my presence, and always want to outshine these people to prove my abilities.
It's just that in Viscount Prozolov's opinion, this is really stupid. A leader does not need to be outstanding in all aspects of quality, nor does he need to be the first in all aspects of ability.
What is leadership? Knowing people and making good use of them is leadership. Grasping the direction of major political affairs and finding the right path without deviating is also leadership.
However, Grand Duke Constantine did these two aspects very carelessly and mediocrely. He also wanted to demonstrate the authority of leadership at all times and hoped that he would be the best and most powerful person.
Isn't this convulsions?
Entrusting the right things to the right people and grasping the overall situation is the correct way of leadership. This is like the commander-in-chief and general who strategizes. You do not need to go into battle to kill the enemy and make the enemy run away to be called a famous general.
Archduke Constantine is at the very end of this trap. He is so obsessed with proving that he is better than others, that he is the most correct and powerful, but in fact he is on the road to death and will never look back.
At least Viscount Prozolov couldn't watch him commit suicide, let alone watch him mess up the situation that had finally turned around again, so he answered directly:
"Your Highness, although I agree with your opinion that Moldavia's affairs should indeed be decided by you, I have to remind you that you are very weak now and must rely on Duke Mikhail, General Dmitry and Slovakia.
Only with the support of Count Perlansky can we stabilize our position."
"What you need most now is to maintain a good cooperative relationship with them. I think His Excellency Nikolai Milyutin's warning is definitely not groundless. It must be that they have warned you not to get into trouble, otherwise the good cooperation before will be immediately
Stop it!"
"In view of the current passive situation, I suggest you be patient for the time being, hide your strength and bide your time to accumulate power, and wait for the situation to completely improve before taking action."
Grand Duke Constantine immediately showed a disappointed look. He originally thought that Viscount Prozolov would support him and give him advice on how to regain the lost power. But now it seems that this is completely impossible!
He still asked without giving up: "I don't want to make a big move. I can do it subtly or in small pieces..."
Viscount Prozolov quickly dissuaded you: "Your Highness, I advise you to be careful! This warning comes so suddenly, which means that people have been watching you, just to guard against you. Once you make a move, they will react immediately.
It will be too late to regret it!"
Grand Duke Constantine slumped on the sofa like a deflated rubber ball and muttered: "What kind of nonsense is this? As a governor, he has no power and can't decide anything. This Shirauzi Governor
If there's any point in doing so, why not go back to the Navy and work as an assistant..."
Viscount Prozolov ignored him because he just complained casually. If you really suggested that he return to St. Petersburg and sit on the bench at the Admiralty, do you think he would refuse immediately?
He is a person who is completely unsatisfied when looking at Shu. He is obviously taking advantage of the current situation, and he is still trying every possible means to behave well.
Sometimes Viscount Prozolov looks down on him, thinking that he is really outrageous. He talks a lot, but he often has high ambitions and low intentions. When he actually does something, he either ignores the benefits or loses the big because of the small. In short, there are all kinds of things.
Playing around with weird tricks.
After bidding farewell to Grand Duke Constantine, Viscount Prozolov returned to his apartment in Chisinau. This was a large house given to him by a certain Moldavia nobleman. At that time, the two parties were involved in the theft and sale of grain.
He made a lot of money through hoarding. In order to win over him, Grand Duke Constantine's number one henchman, that wealthy man spent a lot of money to give him this house.
However, only a few months later, everything has changed. The former good friend is now the leader of the rebel party and is wanted nationwide. All his properties in Chisinau have been confiscated.
According to someone's new policy, all the property outside Chisinau was also confiscated. However, nearly 60% of the country's cities and rural areas are still under the control of the rebels. Grand Duke Constantine is unable to
Just go and confiscate that person's property.
However, Viscount Prozolov believed that it was just a matter of time. He was very covetous of the large acres in the countryside. Even if most of them had to be given to those mud-legged people, he could still more or less take a bite.
Small pieces, and that small piece was enough to make his mouth full of oil.
"Petrovna is waiting for you in the drawing room."
As soon as Viscount Prozolov walked into the house, the butler told him that he had a visitor, and he was a visitor who was not easy to get along with.
Although Viscount Prozolov had some contact with Petrovna after they parted ways in Kiev, they were not very close, and they felt like they were in the same bed with each other.
The main reason is that with Grand Duke Constantine's defeat in Kiev and Ukraine, his influence and interests there have greatly declined, and the value of a certain courtesan has naturally been greatly reduced.
Viscount Prozolov was always too lazy to pay attention to people who were of no use value, so he yawned and asked: "Did this lady tell me what to do with me?"
The housekeeper answered honestly: "No, but she refused to leave!"
