Duke Dolgoruky thought for a while and felt that Peter Nikolayevich should not be so unreliable. Since he said that Maxim was trustworthy, he could only choose to believe it until there was no better way.
.
Of course, an old fox like him will not help Peter Nikolayevich take risks. On the contrary, he will only throw away all risks:
"Well, since you think this Maxim is reliable, then I will believe you once... But the ugly thing is up front. If there is a problem with this mission because of this Maxim, then all the responsibility will be borne by you.
!”
Peter Nikolayevich opened his mouth. Of course he didn't want to take such responsibility, but Duke Dolgoruky didn't give him a chance to argue at all. He just waved his hand and told him to get out. This made him depressed.
Almost vomiting blood.
But he is depressed. It is not his turn to object or resist what Duke Dolgoruki decides. No matter how unhappy he is, he can only endure and hold it in, unless one day he can climb to Dolgoruki.
On the Duke's head, at that time, he could only deal with him as he pleased.
"Should we capture Maxim again and question him?"
Peter Nikolayevich was very dissatisfied with the idea given by his younger brother. It was not that he really trusted Maxim, but that he felt that there was no problem with his handling measures. At least Maxim did not show any merit.
A place of doubt.
In this case, it is pointless for him to continue to dwell on this problem if he does not doubt the people he employs and does not use them. He might as well start taking action to complete this task as soon as possible.
"Let your people take action and scare Duke Vorontsov according to the planned plan. Remember to act realistically and don't let anyone see the flaw!"
According to the results of the discussion between Prince Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev, if you want to make a fake show, it must be natural, so it is very useful to find a target with some weight and carry out a semblance of an attack.
It's necessary.
It's just that how to choose this important target is a bit confusing, because at the beginning, according to Duke Dolgoruky's wishes, the target of the attack should be Count Uvarov.
In his opinion, since the attackers were radical liberals or radical reformists, their target should be Count Uvarov, the former leader of the conservatives. This is the most real and reasonable!
However, this suggestion was strongly opposed by Pobedonostsev. It was not that he felt sorry for Count Uvarov, but that he believed that Count Uvarov was now on the cusp of the storm and any action against him at this time was
It will cause violent turbulence in the situation, and maybe there will be another violent storm.
At this sensitive moment, it is really not suitable to do this. It is best to choose a target that will have a small impact on the situation and not cause too much trouble.
It makes sense to say that, at least Duke Dolgoruky couldn't object, but the target Pobedonostsev proposed next almost made him laugh to death, because he actually suggested choosing Grand Duke Constantine as the target.
.
Duke Dolgoruky immediately saw through his sinister intentions. He was not worried that the attack on Count Uvarov would cause an uncontrollable situation. This man clearly wanted to flatter Alexander II and deliberately disgusted Kang.
Is Archduke Standing any good?
Otherwise, if you think about it, which reformist, no matter how radical, would launch an attack against one of his own people or a big boss on his own side? Do they really think that they cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy?
Although Duke Dolgoruky also doesn't like Grand Duke Constantine, he feels that this is really worrying about his IQ. By then, even a fool will see that there is something wrong here, and the people in the third part of St. Petersburg might come back and talk about these attacks.
What should we do if the person is a radical conservative?
Who will wipe this ass at that time?
It was not him who was directly responsible for the operation to wipe it out, but in the end he was no longer a human being inside and outside, but Pobedonostsev got the advantage in vain. How could this be tolerated?
So he threw Pobedonostsev's excuse back unchanged, saying that Grand Duke Constantine had too much influence and could easily make things worse, so he must not do this!
So the two men started to quarrel, and they argued for a full hour before finally giving in and choosing Prince Vorontsov as the target.
Why Prince Vorontsov?
The reason is very simple. First of all, his status is high enough. After all, he is an imperial marshal or a dignified duke. He has huge appeal and influence whether in the army, among the people or in officialdom.
No one dares to take the attacks against him lightly, and there is no fear that St. Petersburg Part 3 will not take the bait when the time comes.
Secondly, although the Duke's status is high enough, he has long been marginalized in the officialdom, which means that he will not have a direct impact on the situation and will help control the development of the situation.
Finally, the Duke is a well-known pro-British faction, which is a definite minority in Russia today. Even though he supports reform, his position is not very popular among reformers.
Therefore, it is entirely possible to attack him, at least there is no big logical flaw.
Of course, this is how Duke Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev view it. If Li Xiao knew their brain circuits, he would probably not know whether to laugh or cry.
It is true that Count Vorontsov is not very popular as a pro-British faction, but you also have to see his status and qualifications. From past history, it can be seen that he has done a lot for reforms, even if it is
Radical reformers also recognize this.
What's more, this old man's health is already very poor and he doesn't have a few years left to live. At this time, everyone just feels sad and sad. How can there be a lunatic to plan an attack on him?
But what Li Xiao didn't expect was that when Pobedonostsev and Duke Dolgoruky submitted the relevant plan to Alexander II for approval, the tsar actually agreed to the plan.
Damn, this brain circuit is really baffling!
So why did Alexander II have a short-circuit in his brain? The reason is very simple, because he felt that Duke Vorontsov was indeed a good target, both in terms of status and influence, and the most important thing was that he was not very good.
I like this old guy.
Yes, Alexander II had a strong opinion against Duke Vorontsov. The reason was very simple. After the defeat in Crimea, the Duke was one of the few people in the military who immediately suggested that he negotiate for peace and surrender.
It was Duke Vorontsov's huge influence in the army that made a large number of generals believe that continuing to fight was pointless.
Alexander II has always been worried about this, not to mention that during the subsequent peace talks, the Duke also said some words that made him very disgusted...
