Kornilov naturally saw that Alexander Benkendorf was asking him for help, and he knew why as long as he thought about it for a moment. But he was a little hesitant, because after all, he was actually a relatively
I agree with Markov's opinion and feel that the reason for falling into the current passivity is entirely Paskovich's fault.
Especially Markov's last words go straight to the core of Paskovich's problem. If Paskovich was just a little too presumptuous in starting the landing operation and formulating this plan, then he was trapped in a tight siege and knew that the enemy was so
It was powerful but refused to retreat. It was only after Nicholas I issued an order that the troops were allowed to retreat.
This is unbearable!
He felt that Markov was right. Paskovich was simply irresponsible. If he had even the slightest sense of responsibility, would he be like this now?
So now you ask him to help Alexander Benkendorf go down the stairs to criticize or accuse Markov against his will, he really can't do it.
But Kornilov also knew that if he didn't help, he might offend both Paskovich and Alexander Benkendorf.
One of these two people is a military attache to the Tsar. Although his position is not particularly prominent, his family connections are really strong. His ability to get things done may not be strong, but his ability to twist his mouth and tell bad things is second-to-none.
As for Paskovich, it goes without saying that Nicholas I's "father" is easy to offend. Even though he seems to have annoyed Nicholas I this time, he will never break his muscles.
After a while, Nicholas I may have forgotten this incident, and then Lao Qiu Ba will definitely become extremely terrifying again.
Especially considering this old guy's vengeful personality, the consequences of offending him will be serious!
Kornilov looked at Alexander Benkendorf, then at Paskovich, and finally at Markov, who was in trouble. He was not a person who was afraid of trouble, but let him talk to Paz at this moment.
Kovic turned against him. He really couldn't do it. After all, he was now responsible for commanding the retreat. A considerable part of Ineada's troops were commanded by Paskovich's confidants. Without the cooperation of these people, he wanted to defeat the Russian army.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it out.
After pondering for a moment, Kornilov simply pretended not to see anything, neither responding to Alexander Benkendorf's request for help, nor joining Markov in condemning Paskovich.
This approach can't be said to be particularly good, but at least for the time being, people can't find too many faults. After all, he didn't express his position. Even if Markov and Paskovich PK in the world, it has nothing to do with him, at least.
Paskovich couldn't find fault with him based on this.
And this makes it a little difficult for Alexander Benkendorf. Kornilov can remain silent and pretend to be deaf and dumb, but he can't!
You see over there Paskovich is blowing his beard and staring. What do you think we should do?
What's worse is that Markov is still staring at Paskovich like a dumbass, with a completely unconvinced and helpless attitude.
If Paskovich doesn't teach him a lesson, he won't be able to get down the stairs, okay?
After a long while, Alexander Benkendorf sighed in his heart, but said: "Your Majesty, my task is to convey His Majesty's will, and I have completed this work. As for other things, His Majesty has not given it to me.
My relevant authority... If you are dissatisfied with General Markov's performance, you can report it to His Majesty and the Minister of War, or you can tell the person in charge of the battlefield. As for how to deal with General Markov, that is His Majesty, the Minister of Army and the person in charge of the battlefield.
It’s a matter of the actual person in charge…”
Alexander Benkendorf finally chose to play football, and he almost said it, telling Paskovich: Dad, it’s not that I don’t give you face, but that I don’t have the authority... If you
I really want to deal with this kid Markov and report to His Majesty! If you can’t do that, just tell Kornilov! I really can’t help you with this!
The ball was kicked away, but Paskovich was not led astray by him. Probably Lao Qiuba knew very well that Kornilov was unlikely to buy into him. After all, the two sides had been very unhappy before, and they were almost at odds with each other.
Dislike.
In this case, it is entirely possible for Kornilov not to give face, not to mention that Paskovich is also the one who wants face.
It was already embarrassing enough to be dismissed by Nicholas I, but what was even more embarrassing was that his authority was handed over to the annoying Kornilov. You asked him to tell Kornilov to let him deal with Markov.
Where does this put his old face?
Paskovich really couldn't afford to embarrass this person, so even though little Benkendorf had spoken thoroughly, he still insisted on clinging to him.
"No matter how much, I will naturally respond to His Majesty when I return to St. Petersburg! But this is not St. Petersburg, and I can't wait that long, not to mention that finding and solving problems is my style. As the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty, you represent His Majesty's
Will, even if you are not the person in charge, you still have the authority to deal with some rat shit!"
This is simply unreasonable, or nonsense. But it's so normal for Paskovich to do this, because that's the kind of person he is.
But Alexander Benkendorf was in pain. Even though Paskovich raised him very high, as if he was very dignified, he knew that this was just Lao Qiuba's strategy to make him get something out of the fire. Once this was passed
Do you think Lao Qiu Ba still takes this so-called imperial envoy seriously?
If he really foolishly goes up to give orders, it will be a lot of fun. First of all, Kornilov is very likely to be unhappy and refuse to agree. After all, Markov is now his subordinate, and he was obviously biased towards Marko just now.
On your husband's side, do you think he has any objections to your dealing with his people?
And little Benkendorf knew very well that Nicholas I really just asked him to run errands. At most, he wanted him to see what Ineada was like. He definitely did not give him the authority to give orders, especially to give orders beyond Kornilov.
power.
If he dared to intervene, Kornilov would only need to report the matter to Nicholas I, and then he, the second generation ancestor who relied on me to influence him to get to his current position, would probably be ruined.
Little Benkendorf was not stupid. He knew that he was not favored by Nicholas I at all. If he did not know how to restrain himself and acted recklessly, he might even lose his job.
So even if he didn't want to offend Paskovich, he could only bite the bullet and reply: "To make His Majesty the Prince laugh, I am indeed just an errand boy and cannot represent His Majesty's will. If you really have any objections to this matter, I will
I can convey it to His Majesty for you, but the rest is beyond my control..."
