Neserrodie was so out of breath that he fainted, because he never expected that Paskovich would be such a rogue. He simply did not respond to his unique skills head-on, but instead hit him with a rake and kicked the problem back to him.
Will the Habsburg family gossip and slander Nicholas I? Paskovich said: "Yes!" But there is a way to solve it, what way? His answer was: "Ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Diplomacy
This is what the Ministry does!”
Is there a problem with this? There really is no problem at all. This is not what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does. If there are no problems, no disputes, and no disputes between countries, then what is the need for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Then it is better to raise more people.
A good dog is useful for guarding the home!
But this is very unfriendly to Neserrodie. According to Paskovich, it is the duty of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to persuade and clarify the work, and it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs if it fails to do so. What is the truth?
?
[Why should my Ministry of Foreign Affairs wipe your ass for the bad things you have done? I won’t do it!]
Neserrodie was about to retort, but soon he looked up and saw Nicholas I looking at Paskovich with a face full of joy. It was obvious that this sentence spoke to his heart, and Nicholas I agreed very much.
Paskovich's opinion!
This was very bad for Neserrodie. If he jumped out to object at this time, it would definitely not bring good results. It would make Nicholas I feel that he and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were incompetent. Otherwise, why would he do such a small thing?
not good?
So don’t hit the hard top at this time, you can only win by taking advantage of the situation!
Neserrody caught on to the plan as soon as his eyes rolled, and he immediately suggested: "Of course the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will go all out to complete every task assigned by His Majesty. We have the confidence and the ability! But...
"
"However, such detailed work requires a lot of time, and it is difficult to achieve the desired results quickly in a hurry. I personally implore your Majesty to give me more preparation time so that we can fully consider all aspects of the issue to achieve the best result."
Effect!"
Otherwise, Neserrodie is cunning! This is where his cunning lies. On the surface, it seems that he is using delaying tactics, intending to stall for time. Then, as the situation in Austria worsens, at that time Nisserrodye
Even if King Gula I was interested in Wallachia, he had to maintain the existence of the Holy Alliance first.
But please note that this is just a deception, used to trick Paskovich into taking the bait. However, the old illiterate Paskovich did not have his IQ, so he was immediately fooled.
"Prime Minister, the situation is serious now, how can we have so much time? We must take decisive action! Do what we should do as quickly as possible! There can be no delay!"
Neserrode laughed secretly in her heart: [Old man, you have been fooled!]
Then he immediately replied: "If action must be taken immediately, there may be omissions and oversights, which may cause unknown adverse effects!"
Do you see? The meaning of this thing is very simple. Let our diplomatic department put pressure on Austria. Due to the tight time and insufficient preparation, there may be omissions, so the result may not be ideal. When the time comes, the Habsburg family will gossip.
That's not the fault of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs! It's all the fault of big bosses like Paskovich, it's all their impatience that caused the mess!
This is still the first level of meaning. The second level of meaning is naturally to do the work of Nicholas I, which is to say: "Your Majesty, doing this is unsafe and will probably ruin your reputation. Let's stop doing it!"
"
Neserrodie's combination of punches was really powerful. He unknowingly neutralized Paskovich's sharp attack just now. It was a perfect example of using softness to overcome strength. Anyway, he was a little proud of himself and glanced at Paskovich.
Skovich, the contempt and ridicule are quite obvious.
However, Neserrodie laughed a little too early. Paskovich was a big boss, so it was not surprising that he fell into his trap. After all, there was an IQ crushing him. But Paz was not the only one present.
Kovich, the big boss, and Nicholas I!
As a monarch who was at the top of the Russian history in terms of power desire and political means, what kind of bureaucrats has he not seen? How come he doesn’t know the little tricks of bureaucrats to take advantage of them? As long as he takes a closer look, he will know what Neserrodie wants.
do what!
Yes, Nicholas I did want to save face, and he was also a model of saving face. But this does not mean that he is stupid! Translated, Neserrode’s words just now actually mean that they are just a tactic used by bureaucrats to avoid doing things. To put it bluntly,
He just didn't want to do it, so he deliberately emphasized the difficulty.
Suddenly, Nicholas I felt unhappy. He had not been deeply impressed by what Paskovich had said about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he did not think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was really as incompetent as Paskovich said.
But now, Neserrode was trying to make excuses because he didn't want to put pressure on Austria, which made Nicholas I come to his senses: "You just don't want to do it! You just don't obey the command! Otherwise you would find so many things"
What is the excuse for? If you really agree that you want to do it, you will definitely do it first. Instead of emphasizing the difficulty!]
Suddenly, something was wrong with the way Nicholas I looked at Neserrodie. What he hated most was when his ministers were perfunctory and contradicted him. But now Neserrodie was both perfunctory and contradictory. Although the latter was not obvious, but
Obviously Neserrodie just doesn't want to put pressure on Austria! How can I tolerate this! Check him!
"Is it so difficult? Prime Minister, how much time will it take for you to be ready?" Nicholas I asked.
Neserrodie was not aware of the danger yet, thinking that Nicholas I was hesitating again, and quickly replied: "Considering the seriousness and complexity of the matter, it will take at least one or two months to prepare!"
Nicholas I's expression was naturally even uglier, but Neserrodie misunderstood, thinking that Nicholas I had no patience to wait and was no longer interested in Paskovich's proposal, so he added: "
Then, if we spend one to two months doing work on Austria, we should be able to achieve better results."
Well, Nicholas I was really angry. It would take three or four months. Damn, where can I find this American time? What’s more, such a trivial matter would take three or four months. You’re kidding me.
Son? It seems that you are really itchy, old man, and I have to deal with you! Otherwise, you will have to go to hell!
"It takes so long!" Nicholas I said slowly while trying to restrain his emotions: "It seems that diplomatic work is really complicated... Prime Minister, it seems that you have to manage national affairs and be responsible for diplomatic work. The burden is too heavy.
, the pressure is too much, I should lighten the burden on you!"
