Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Validating Ideas
"If this isn't called taking a drug, what is it?"
Duke Alexander Gorchakov laughed and patted Li Xiao on the shoulder. It could be seen that his mood suddenly improved, and he increasingly felt that the little bastard Grand Duke in front of him was really a quickie. If his subordinates had such
If his subordinates are intelligent, his work will be ten times easier.
For a moment, Duke Alexander Gorchakov couldn't help but want to vomit Nicholas I. He felt that His Majesty was a waste of resources. Although there was indeed a problem with someone's bloodline, so what? As long as someone agreed with Russia's will
He serves Russia and has outstanding abilities, so why not give him a chance to get ahead?
On the contrary, this kind of constant suppression is a stupid trick. It will only make someone dislike your family less and less, and want to work for your family less and less. In extreme cases, they may even plot against your family.
son.
It's better to give someone the space to display his abilities and let him work hard. As long as your family doesn't act stupidly and destroy the Great Wall, what's the point to worry about?
Duke Alexander Gorchakov's idea is undoubtedly right. If Li Xiao can be used in this way, I guess he himself has no objection. But the problem is that Nicholas I has a mental mysophobia in a sense, and any inappropriate
He hates people and things that meet his ideals. He will destroy such people or things without caring about the cost-efficiency ratio.
Li Xiao didn't know what the Duke was thinking, but replied very humbly: "I just did what I should do."
Duke Alexander Gorchakov nodded silently and patted Li Xiao on the shoulder again, but what he was thinking about was whether there was a way to transfer Li Xiao to his subordinates. With such a capable subordinate, his
The work will be much easier, and it will be easier to talk to Neserroddie.
[After I go back, I’ll see if I can do some of His Majesty’s work. I hope I can convince him!]
Of course, Duke Alexander Gorchakov did not directly recruit him, because if he failed to convince Nicholas I, it would destroy the friendly relationship between the two. Some things are most taboo.
So he just said lightly: "Then when do you plan to return to Bucharest, Your Excellency?"
Li Xiao could tell that Duke Alexander Gorchakov did not mean to see him off, but to ask him how long he could stay in Vienna. I am afraid that the Duke intended to have a good contact with him to gain more information.
friendship.
Of course Li Xiao will not refuse this. Although he is a little stronger now than when he first traveled through time, the situation is still not optimistic. And Duke Alexander Gorchakov will be a great man who will aspire to the throne of prime minister in the future. He should do well with this.
The benefits of relationships are huge.
So he replied very humbly: "I plan to stay in Vienna for a few more weeks and plan to learn from you, the Duke..."
Duke Alexander Gorchakov smiled, not because he was being flattered, but because he knew that the other party accepted his kindness and planned to develop a good friendship with him. So he put his arm around Li Xiao's shoulders and said with a smile: "I already
When you are old, the future will definitely belong to you young people, and the only thing I can teach you is some old experience..."
The two foxes, one old and the other young, smiled tacitly, and then stopped talking about these complicated government affairs, and turned to talk about feelings. Duke Alexander Gorchakov praised Li Xiao's cheap old man.
He is so handsome and handsome that women love him, and Li Xiao praised the old fox for having a good son. All in all, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
It wasn't until after dinner that the two got down to business again. Duke Alexander Gorchakov first suggested: "Andreka, let's do this. I'd like you to pretend to be my personal secretary and contact various people in Austria with me.
Fang forces, help me see their quality..."
Rather than saying that Duke Alexander Gorchakov asked Li Xiao to help him see people, it is better to say that it was the old man who helped him recognize people and helped him get in touch with and familiarize himself with diplomatic situations. It can be seen that the old man really planned to do this.
Looking for someone from Nicholas I.
Li Xiao naturally has no objection to this. It is always good to know a few more people. Maybe they will be useful in the future? Of course, he did not forget to remind you: "Thank you for your kindness, but you know, my uncle
He doesn’t like me interfering in foreign affairs... Once the news about me in Vienna is known to him, I’m worried that he will have a problem with you!”
Duke Alexander Gorchakov smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. As far as I know, no one in Vienna knows you. You don't need to worry about your identity being revealed... I will declare to the public that you are my private secretary."
Sent by my wife to deliver letters home."
Li Xiao nodded. Anyway, as long as Duke Alexander Gorchakov is not afraid of being remembered by Nicholas I, what does he have to fear? Even if it is leaked, he will be beaten to death if he refuses to admit it.
Of course, the reason why Duke Alexander Gorchakov is confident that Li Xiao's identity will not be leaked is actually because he has some friendship with Duke Ordov. If the clues are really discovered in the third part, he is also sure to let Austrian know.
Prince Erdorff helped to block it.
"So, Andreka, which Austrian force do you most want to meet now?"
Li Xiao thought for a while and replied: "Let's meet the Grand Duchess Franz Karl first! For the time being, she is our only partner. You also said that this woman is very extraordinary. I want to meet her!"
Duke Alexander Gorchakov nodded secretly. In fact, he was also inclined to take Li Xiao to meet the Grand Duchess first. After all, he and the Grand Duchess still had a lot of business to do. Li Xiao could help him to find out more about it.
Take a look at this terrible woman.
"No problem, what next?"
Li Xiao blurted out: "Then by the way, I will meet the Grand Duke Franz Joseph. I am also very interested in this Grand Duke!"
This answer was beyond Duke Alexander Gorchakov's expectation. He didn't understand why Li Xiao wanted to meet that ambitious boy.
Li Xiao explained with a smile: "On the surface, the one who suffered the worst defeat this time was Wendy Schreitz, but I think the one who suffered the worst defeat was actually the Grand Duke... Without our intervention, he is very likely to lose
He is the next emperor of Austria..."
"Well," Duke Alexander Gorchakov nodded and asked, "So what do you want to verify when you meet him?"
Li Xiao explained: "It's not to verify anything. I just want to see his truest thoughts, because he is likely to be our most dangerous opponent in the future! Understand the reality in advance so that you can prepare in advance!"
