Chapter 1,180 People’s hearts are scattered (Part 1)
With Alexander II's final decision, the good days of the German party members led by Neserrode in Russian officialdom came to an end.
Although Bunge was not directly dismissed from office, anyone who is not blind can see that he no longer has a holy family, and it is impossible to control the Ministry of Finance in the future.
Not only Bunge, but the mid-level officials of the German party in the Ministry of Finance suffered even greater losses. These people were the key targets of Alexander II's review. Once they were caught, they would be dismissed from their posts, and they might not be able to return them.
Will be sent to jail and eat jail time.
For a time, the German party members felt as if they were bereaved, and they were in panic all day long.
"Gentlemen, the situation is very serious. Two directors of the Ministry of Finance have been arrested and examined, and three other directors and deputy directors have also been called for questioning. We must try to rescue them immediately!"
That's true, but things are definitely not that simple. We are not blind. How could we not see that Alexander II was really angry this time? If I had known better, I wouldn't have falsified the accounts. Look at what he did for that
The money is now like this, it is really not worth it!
"If we don't make false accounts, why don't we just watch those damn Russians spend the money we worked so hard to save, or watch them drive away the Count?"
Bunji couldn't help it anymore and scolded those who backed down. In his opinion, this was the behavior of an out-and-out villain. When you were getting money and benefits before, you were all so happy, but now you are encountering a little trouble.
Just blame everyone, what the hell!
"But now the problem has become bigger. His Majesty and those Russians have made it clear that they want to attack us. The handle is in their hands. What can we do?"
"If you ask me, the only thing I can do now is abandon the soldiers to save the chariot, push a few people out to take the blame, and calm down the situation first before minimizing the big issue!"
Bunge frowned. He had also considered this plan, but in the end he had to give it up because the two arrested directors were too important. Without them, the control of the German party in the Ministry of Finance would be reduced.
A big chunk.
And you can throw this blame away if you want? Even if the two department heads are willing to cooperate fully, you have to see if the third part and Duke Alexander and others will show off. What if they pursue you?
At this time, someone else said: "If it really doesn't work, we can only have a person with enough weight to step forward and take responsibility. As long as he takes over all the responsibilities, the matter will be solved..."
Bunji's face turned dark immediately. Didn't he just ask him to go out and carry the thunder? Good guys, what do you mean, you bastards?
It's just that he can't say he won't do it yet, because everyone is watching. What he said just now is that the situation is not good, but now he is unwilling to take responsibility. Isn't this not cutting himself off from the same party!
But, if you ask him to just stand up and carry the thunder, he will definitely not be happy!
"If I can calm down the situation by taking responsibility and sacrifice myself to save everyone, I won't back down... But the current situation is that people are coming in force. What they want is to solve me in one fell swoop and take away the financial resources."
How can you be willing to let go so easily?"
is this real?
It should be said to be half-truth and half-lie. For Duke Alexander and others, it would be great if they could kill Bunge and take control of the Ministry of Finance.
However, this possibility is not particularly high. After all, Bunge has only been in office for two months. Whether from the perspective of Alexander II or from the perspective of maintaining the overall situation, it is unrealistic to replace him.
A more practical idea is to completely eliminate the influence of German-American Party members in the Ministry of Finance, try to deal with the mid-level cadres of German-American Party members in the Ministry of Finance, and grab a few more positions of department directors and deputy directors. It is best to completely eliminate the state.
lucky.
Bunge actually got some clues about this from Alexander II's attitude in handling the matter. Later, Neserrode helped him analyze it and roughly figured out Alexander II's psychological bottom line on this matter.
First of all, we must get the money back. Secondly, we must deal with the German party members severely and give them some color to show them, so that they will not dare to do anything to them. Finally, try to maintain dignity and not make things too ugly or embarrassing.
decent.
For Neserrode and Bungi, there is very little they can do about the first two bottom lines, especially since Alexander II is still angry. If they make a mistake and do not have a correct attitude and accept the punishment, they will not be punished.
will be heavier.
The only thing they can make a fuss about and try to save the situation is the third one. If they can use Alexander II's mentality of maintaining dignity, they should be able to save a certain amount of losses.
How to start?
Neserrodie's advice was to be miserable first, accept the punishment honestly, and then inadvertently cry miserably to let Alexander II vent his anger first.
Secondly, we must make good use of the contradictions within the Russians. The Ministry of Finance is such a big piece of fat and has so much money. Who wouldn’t be jealous? If the Russians start fighting among themselves, it will naturally distract them and make them
There was no way to form a joint force to deal with the German party members.
Finally, if we can take the opportunity to set some traps, so that those greedy Russians will be caught financially, and then they will poke them out, what do you think Alexander II would think and do?
This move is called simultaneous attack and elimination. According to Neserrodie, those Russians who are not united within the party will definitely fall for it.
only……
Yes, there are prerequisites for using this trick. The first thing is to suffer misfortune. Naturally, someone must be unlucky.
So who should be pushed out and sold out?
Neserrode did not appoint anyone, he just told Bunji that he could do this. As for who should be thrown out to top the cylinder, he let Bunji and others decide for themselves.
This old fox is really unusually cunning. Why doesn't he appoint a candidate? Is it because he can't find one?
Certainly not!
He is completely unwilling to specify, because doing so will definitely offend people. If you think about it, he is about to pack up his bed and retire. If he offends a group of people at the end of the day, he will not be able to find a way to support his retirement life.
Are you comfortable?
For Neserrodie, he will not do such an unfortunate job. He is responsible enough now that he can help make suggestions. Compared with those leaders who did not care about the flood after I left, he has a strong sense of responsibility.
Model worker.
What's more, the German party members must also adapt to the post-Nesselrode era and must find the next leader as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, whoever can handle this matter beautifully will be the next leader. It would be a good idea to treat it as a trial to select a leader!
It should be said that Neserrodie's idea was quite good. He felt that doing so was the optimal solution for both himself and the German party members. But was it really the optimal solution?
