Igor immediately became nervous and asked hurriedly: "What do these bastards want to do again!"
Look at his attitude, as long as Count Rostovtsev names someone, Igor will immediately come to their door and have a good chat with these people, and will use coercive means to let them know what it means to touch a tiger's butt!
Rostovtsev also knew the temper of his old friend, so he did not answer but introduced: "As far as I know, they are planning to do something in Moldavia, and they are planning to do something with that Mikhail Sturza
Let’s talk to the Grand Duke and let him provide full convenience!”
Igor asked angrily: "What did the Moldavians say?"
Count Rostovtsev smiled and said: "Do you think they dare to refuse this request?"
Igor suddenly became furious and cursed: "You useless Moldavian. No wonder the country is in chaos. No wonder so many people are against him. This loser has no opinion at all! How can he be the head of a country?
!”
Count Rostovtsev did not say anything, because in his eyes, Mihai Stuerza was just a puppet in name only, and he had never had the final say in matters in Moldavia.
Count Rostovtsev believed that even if the rebellions in Moldavia and Wallachia were quelled this time, Nicholas I would be unlikely to let Mihai Stuerza continue to be the Grand Duke of Moldavia.
, because his abilities are limited and public anger is too great, replacing him with a puppet is a more appropriate choice.
If Li Xiao were here, he would definitely admire Count Rostovtsev's judgment, because in history, after Russia and Turkey jointly sent troops to bulldoze the rebels in Wallachia, they directly gave them to Wallachia and Moldavia. The sub-ruling class was reshuffled together. Mihai Sturza dismissed the get out of class sadly and replaced him with Grigory Alexander Jika V as the Grand Duke of Moldavia.
It is conceivable that although the domestic rebellion has been basically suppressed at this time, Mihai Sturza's position is very unstable, which means that this person urgently needs support from Russia, so similar to Crown Prince Alexander or Mensh
If a powerful official like Cove asks him to do something within his power or do some small hidden favor, does he dare to refuse?
Igor could figure out the key with just a little bit of knowledge. He took a long breath sincerely and sighed: "Fortunately, Archduke Andrei did not go to Moldavia. At first, I thought he was too risky, but now I see
It’s him who had the foresight to come!”
After hearing this, Count Rostovtsev suddenly showed a confused smile. He mocked slightly sarcastically: "Old friend, you are so tight-lipped! I have asked so many times, and you always say that he is here.
Moldavia, what, did you tell the truth?"
Igor didn't react much and replied calmly: "You have never believed it anyway. Besides, I'm also afraid that the people around you are talkative and unreliable!"
Count Rostovtsev smiled and said: "It is true that the people around me are not reliable enough, but can you guarantee that your friends and the people around you and the Grand Duke will be reliable?"
But Igor replied confidently: "I believe in Andre's vision, he sees people very accurately!"
Count Rostovtsev shook his head again and smiled and said: "Whatever, the fewer people who know about it, the better. In addition, tell your Grand Duke to notify the cover on the Moldavian border to pay more attention, Mark
.Mikhevich is ready to do something evil!"
Igor was taken aback and asked quickly: "What's going on? What are they going to do?"
Count Rostovtsev calmly replied: "It seems that they are preparing to send people disguised as bandits to attack your Grand Duke's friends!"
"You are trying to kill people and silence them!" Igor immediately jumped up and asked angrily: "Why did you tell me now?"
Count Rostovtsev replied calmly: "Because it is a trivial matter, of no consequence!"
Igor was angry: "How can it be insignificant! If Mark Mikheyevich discovers that Andre is not in Moldavia, everything will be ruined! They will definitely search for Andre's traces with all their strength.
This is very likely to expose Andre’s identity! That will put him in danger!”
Faced with Igor's question, Count Rostovtsev still showed no regrets at all and replied calmly: "But that will take at least a few months. The Wallachian rebels don't have a few months."
It’s time.”
Igor choked and asked in a daze: "Nicholas has decided to take action?"
"Yes, Vladimir Titov has been ordered to send a note to Turkey, requiring the two countries to immediately take all necessary measures to restore order in Wallachia! If Turkey refuses, Russia will also take unilateral action!"
Igor frowned and asked: "Something's wrong! Didn't you say two days ago that Nicholas accepted Duke Alexander Gorchakov's suggestion and put pressure on Austria to force the Austrians to agree to our decision in Warsaw?"
Do Lachia and Moldavia enjoy special status? Why do we take action without waiting for the Austrians to reply?”
Count Rostovtsev calmly uttered two words: "Pressure! Blackmail!"
"What you said about pressuring the Austrians and blackmailing Turkey is the same thing. They can be done at the same time! And this was also Neserrodie's ghost idea. He just wanted to make the matter urgent and give Alexander Gorchako
My husband’s job creates trouble and leaves him no time to function!”
Igor snorted disdainfully and said disdainfully: "That German still has such bad behavior! He has never put Russia's interests first, he only wants to poach us and benefit the Austrians... His Majesty Alexander and Ni
Gula is really blind to let him be the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister!”
Rostovtsev did not join in the complaint, he seemed completely indifferent, which made Igor a little frustrated, and he also complained about him: "You too, just watch this German talking nonsense."
What a nonsense, as Nikolai’s chief adviser, is this how you make suggestions? Is this how patriotic you are?”
Count Rostovtsev just raised his eyelids and glanced at Igor. He did not lose his temper, but calmly replied: "No matter how bad Neserrodie is, he is still worse than Peter Volkonsky or Mian."
Guys like Shikov need to be stronger! It’s easy to get rid of the Germans, but who should replace him? Replace him with a worse idiot?"
These words immediately made Igor speechless, because Rostovtsev was right. There were not many people that Nicholas I could fully trust. After Neserrodie was replaced, those who would benefit must be
The most rigid and conservative old antique, not the practical and capable people like Duke Vorontsov and Duke Gorchakov.
"Okay, my friend, politics is not as simple as you think!" Count Rostovtsev stood up and seemed ready to leave, but his last words left Igor stunned:
"What I just meant was very simple. Let your Grand Duke step up his activities in Bucharest and loot as much as possible, because there is not much time left for him to scrape the land. There will be no store like this after passing this village!"
