With the support of these powerful local factions in Moldavia, even if Grand Duke Constantine shows that he refuses to cooperate or is deliberately trying to make a name for himself, there is no need to worry too much. At worst, it will be enough to unite with the powerful local factions to provide him with a back-up.
However, Vishnyak felt that there was a high probability that Grand Duke Constantine would not do this. The previous rebellion had severely damaged his vitality, and his control over Moldavia had reached its lowest point. If there were no Russian counter-insurgency troops
With reinforcements from Wallachia, I'm afraid this guy won't even be able to stay in Chisinau, and will have no choice but to get out in despair.
In this case, his uncooperative attitude is more like a bargaining method, nothing more than an attempt to extort some benefits.
Vishnyak believed that as long as Grand Duke Constantine received the news that he was cooperating with the powerful local factions in Moldavia, his attitude would soon soften, and he could only close his mouth and accept the reality honestly.
Vishniak's guess was correct. After Archduke Constantine learned of his movements, he was really confused. His original plan was to blackmail Wallachia. After all, this rebellion had left him completely destitute.
Even the reputation and prestige have dropped to the lowest point.
If he doesn't do something quickly, he really won't be able to survive!
According to Viscount Prozolov's suggestion, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reach out to Vishnyak. He didn't ask for a big mouthful of meat, as long as he could get a bowl of soup!
But Vishnyak's response immediately made him and Viscount Prozolov dumbfounded, because Vishnyak's attitude was not to mention leaving a bowl of leftover soup, he didn't even leave any water to wash the pot.
!
What's annoying is that they don't even have the means to counterattack in the face of Vishnyak's "tyranny" and "unreasonableness".
What? Impossible?
It's not impossible. Grand Duke Constantine really has no countermeasures. With the few volunteers he has, he can only control the areas around Chisinau. The main force in countering the rebellion is from Ukraine.
The Russian army and the so-called national army from Wallachia.
These two groups control nearly 70% of Moldavia's territory, especially the key transportation hubs and nodes, almost all of which are under the control of these two groups.
You said that the Russian troops in Ukraine should give Grand Duke Constantine face? In principle, this is right, but unfortunately, these Russian troops who are fighting the rebellion mainly obey the command of Duke Mikhail, and Crown Prince Alexander imposed
In terms of influence, basically these Russian troops only listen to the orders of Dmitry Milyutin.
It is obviously impossible for Dmitry Milyutin to really give Grand Duke Constantine face, not to mention that he has a very good relationship with Li Xiao and others, and everyone wears the same pair of trousers.
Who could Grand Duke Constantine count on?
Without the support of the army, the governor was almost like a grass-headed king. The only thing he could do was to cry to Nicholas I.
But the problem is, now he has to think twice even about making small reports.
why?
It’s not that he messed up everything. Although the rebellion in Moldavia was quickly put down, it did not cause particularly bad and irreparable effects. But if such an incident comes out at this moment, what do you think Nicholas I will think of it?
What would you think?
valley erosion
The reason or excuse for his war with Turkey is that Turkey mistreats Orthodox believers, and he went to liberate his Bulgarian brothers.
But if Moldavia is in chaos and crying for autonomy, what will international public opinion think?
Anyway, the British and French were sarcastic and sarcastic. The implication behind their words was that Nicholas I was a fake liberation and a real invasion. He was an invader under the banner of liberation and a hypocrite!
How shameless was Nicholas I that he could bear such cynicism? And who was it that made him suffer such humiliation?
He’s not the unlucky Grand Duke Constantine!
If you think about it, at this time, he already disliked Grand Duke Constantine and was still very angry. Then you actually said that he was being ignored and could not control the overall situation. Nicholas I could only think that Grand Duke Constantine was too incompetent.
It’s not enough for big things, right?
Anyway, after Viscount Prozolov analyzed it for Grand Duke Constantine, the latter decisively gave up the idea of snitching. Now he can only break his teeth and swallow it, while silently hiding in bed and secretly
Cried.
"Your Highness, I don't think things are as bad as you think," Viscount Prozolov still tried his best to help Grand Duke Constantine with advice. He analyzed: "I think Governor Speransky sent someone to contact those Moldavians.
The demi-human is more of a gesture, I don’t think he can be that awesome!”
Grand Duke Constantine asked: "You mean this is to exchange money on land?"
Viscount Prozolov nodded and continued his analysis: "Not completely, but I'm afraid it's also a warning! If you really don't cooperate, then I'm afraid he won't be polite!"
Archduke Constantine's face was naturally extremely ugly. After feeling secretly sulky for a while, he asked depressedly: "What should we do now?"
"We can only continue to have a good talk with them. If that doesn't work, we can only cut off our flesh to protect ourselves..."
Grand Duke Constantine's cheeks twitched, although he knew that Viscount Prozolov's so-called mutilation was not really a knife on his body, but giving up part of Moldavia's control or interests in exchange for Wallachia's cooperation.
.
As the good son of Nicholas I the Iron Rooster, he was naturally unwilling to do such a loss-making business, but right now, he really had no choice. Regardless of whether he cooperated or not, others would find ways to cut him off and actively cooperate with them.
It might be better to use the knife more gently. If he resists to the end, I'm afraid they will cut him into eight big pieces and eat them until no bones are left.
After much thought, Grand Duke Constantine decided that he would be a hero and not suffer the immediate consequences. However, he resented Alexei and Li Xiao even more in his heart, and vowed to repay today's shame hundreds or thousands of times in the future.
"Okay..." He sighed leisurely and reluctantly ordered: "Viscount, just go and have a good talk with them and strive for the best terms..."
At this point, he paused, and then said earnestly: "If possible, we must try to get financial assistance. Without money, we can't do anything!"
Viscount Prozolov couldn't help but spit out "Fuck me". Who's not financially tight these days? Whether it's St. Petersburg or Bucharest, everyone is tightening their belts to get by. At this time, you still want to reach into someone's pocket, right?
Should I say you are naive? Or should I say you are shameless?
No matter what it is, Viscount Prozolov thinks it is impossible to do it...
