Neserrode was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood: [You agreed to whatever, didn’t you hear what His Majesty said? Can the Austrians agree? You must be an old fool!]
So before Nicholas I could speak, Neserrodie immediately intervened: "Duke, please note that if we want to realize all this, it will inevitably damage our good alliance with Austria!"
Does Paskovich know this? Of course he knows. The problem is, you, Austria, are still waiting for my steel army to suppress the rebellion! Don’t I need to give you some benefits to help you suppress the rebellion? You have it.
Worried about national subjugation, what happened to Wallachia and Moldavia?
According to Paskovich's idea, Nicholas I could have been more tough, and it was completely reasonable for Austria to redistribute a little more Polish territory to Russia as a reward.
Of course, no one knew Nicholas I's face-conscious personality better than Paskovich, so he also knew that he couldn't say that, at least not so straightforwardly.
He said slowly: "How can we damage our alliance with Austria? In order to save Austria and the Habsburg family, we are ready to help counter the rebellion. Isn't it better to save them from dire straits and help them turn the tide?
Do they deserve their gratitude?”
As he spoke, Paskovich rolled his eyes at Neserrode and said mockingly: "If the Austrians don't intend to appreciate such a huge favor, and don't intend to meet our trivial and reasonable demands, then what kind of alliance is this?
!”
These words touched the heart of Nicholas I. What a good thing my father said! How could the Austrians not appreciate it? How could they not meet my trivial request?
Don't worry, Paskovich hasn't finished speaking yet. He immediately added: "To say the least, the current situation in Wallachia is in chaos. These rebellious mobs are running rampant without any law. They are not only damaging our Russia."
The interests of the country also harmed Austria’s interests, and then Britain and France watched eagerly from the sidelines to encourage mischief, and Austria had no way to intervene.”
"In this way, if there is no intervention, Wallachia will completely become a paradise for Britain and France, which is equivalent to allowing them to interfere in our Balkan homeland. How can this be allowed?"
"The Austrians have nothing to do but let us, Russia, restore normal order in Wallachia and prevent the invasion of Britain and France. Isn't this the best solution under the current circumstances? Are the Austrians just ready to let Britain and France have their way?
"
This series of rhetorical questions is really quite exciting, and almost all of them get to the root of the matter. At least Nicholas I agreed very much: [It’s not like my father said, the Austrians are occupying the latrine and taking advantage of Britain and France in vain.
What does it count? Are Britain and France your ally, or am I your ally!]
Nicholas I's expression immediately changed, from a little hesitant and hesitant to full of complaints and wanting to make a big move. This drove Neserrode crazy, and he finally gave up Nicholas I's idea.
, but after a few words, he was encouraged by this old guy Paskovich again, Damn, you are here specifically to go against me!
Neserrodie was ready to strangle Paskovich, but there was one thing he wanted to say was wrong. Paskovich was here to oppose him, or in other words, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of War had always been indifferent.
deal with.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that the Army should follow the baton of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and politics determines the military. The Ministry of the Army, headed by veteran generals such as Paskovich, always feels that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in the way, always when they are making good progress and are ready to show off their talents.
Pressing on the brakes is simply a scam.
Therefore, the army generals hope to get rid of the constraints of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and fully let themselves go, so that they can fully display their skills and earn full merit.
So which side is right? On the whole, Neserrodie should be right. Military always serves politics, and military is just a means to achieve political goals. This means is not the only one, nor is it the only one.
It is necessary. Therefore, the generals must not be allowed to let themselves go, otherwise it will be a disaster!
But Neserrode was right about this major premise, because if there was a problem with the political purpose from the beginning, and this positioning was not good for the national interests, then this premise would no longer exist.
The biggest problem now for Neserrode and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs he is in charge of is that they put the so-called Holy Alliance above Russia's national interests, and safeguarding the interests of the Holy Alliance is not completely beneficial to Russia's national interests. This is why
It needs to be discussed!
No matter which country you belong to, citizens do not like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to treat foreigners better than their own people. After all, the basis for the existence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to safeguard national interests, and you are not allowed to use national interests to please foreigners and then safeguard private interests.
And now Neserrode is doing the latter. In order to maintain his political status, he sacrificed the interests of Russia. This naturally made the War Department, which was already full of opinions about him, dissatisfied and naturally would not treat him well.
The look on his face is so normal to quarrel with him.
However, Neserrodie was not aware of this at all. He still stubbornly believed that Paskovich was a dog and a mouse meddling in other people's business. He believed that he, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, should have the final say on diplomatic matters and would not tolerate it.
He was gibbering.
Anyway, Neserrode secretly made up his mind to give Paskovich eye drops after waiting here, otherwise you will have to revolt, and I, the Prime Minister, will be nothing!
However, he still held back at the moment, because there was no point in arguing with Paskovich now, and this guy was an illiterate rough man who would hit people when he got angry. His old arms and legs could not stand it.
Live this guy's blaster.
So Neserrode once again used his tried-and-true trick and said again: "Duke, please be careful, doing this will attract a lot of gossip, which will be unpleasant, and will also greatly damage your majesty's glorious image!
We have to think about the problem holistically!”
Sure enough, Nicholas I was hit again and immediately frowned, but Paskovich just sneered and replied calmly: "Gossip? Austrian?"
Naturally, Neserrode nodded repeatedly. In his opinion, Paskovich would definitely lose, but who knew that the old man would actually turn on him when the conversation changed:
"Prime Minister, this is where you made a mistake! It was you who indulged the Austrians too much and made them cunning. You let them get the benefits in vain and you don't know how to be grateful!"
"Besides, what is the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Isn't it to clarify and resolve these gossips? If you are not even useful for this, you might as well disband as soon as possible!"
