As the saying goes, if there is no first in literature and no second in military, if Duke Mikhail is the first general and the first person in the country, then does he have to overshadow Paskovich, Chernyshov and others?
!
Especially Paskovich, who is now in direct competition with Prince Mikhail, how can his younger brothers and supporters tolerate it?
Neserrody immediately saw Chernyshov's expression change, and Menshikov also had a stern face. It was obvious that these big guys didn't like such wording, and they didn't want to just watch.
They watched Prince Mikhail step on their heads to reach the top.
So Chernyshev soon expressed his worries: "Duke Mikhail did a good job and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Turks... but the method was still a bit reckless. Fortunately, it scared the Turks, otherwise
Once a full-scale conflict is triggered, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us!"
As if to prove that he was not maliciously slandering but was dedicated to the public good, Chernyshov pointed at the map and analyzed: "We have deployed more than 200,000 troops in Wallachia and Moldavia, and we have deployed more than 200,000 troops in Ukraine.
Nearly 300,000 troops have been deployed, and we will then prepare for military operations in the diplomatic Caucasus. The most conservative estimate requires 100,000 troops."
"Almost all of our troops have been allocated to the above-mentioned areas. Once the conflict with Turkey triggers a full-scale war, we will need about 200,000 people just to deal with the Turks. We do not even rule out the possibility of British and French intervention. In that case, we
Our military strength is even more stretched..."
The smile on the face of Nicholas I, who was very happy just now, soon disappeared. He, Su Ri'an, was very happy with his success, but he was not stupid enough to know the heights of the world. There are too many things that Russia is interfering in now, and it has reached its limit.
If a trivial matter detonates the Balkan powder keg and breaks out a full-scale war with Turkey at this time, the consequences will be extremely serious!
Seeing Nicholas I's change of expression, Menshikov immediately followed up: "According to the latest information we received, the British Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet is operating frequently in the Aegean Sea. In addition, their activities in the Baltic Sea have also been greatly enhanced.
We can’t rule out that this is a demonstration!”
Although Menshikov did not mention a single word about Duke Mikhail, anyone with a discerning eye knew what he meant. This was obviously in agreement with Chernyshev in giving Duke Mikhail eye drops!
At this time, Nicholas I's joy had disappeared. He began to re-examine Turkey's protests, and he was probably murmuring in his heart.
And all of this was completely within Neserrodie's expectation. He knew that the Qiu Bahui in the military were fighting among themselves. If these idiots were more united, it would not be his turn to hold the position of prime minister for twenty years.
Of course, he also knew that the heat was not enough, so he had to add a scoop of oil to make the fire more intense!
Suddenly he lectured Chernyshev and Menshikov with some indignation: "I think this is excessive worry and unfounded worry. The Turks are just a group of cowards and they don't dare to go to war with us. As for Britain and France,
If they really wanted to protect Turkey, they would have taken action long ago. Why wait until today?"
Neserrodie sighed earnestly: "I think our frontline generals should learn from Duke Mikhail? Be as full of initiative as him? Be able to proactively analyze the pros and cons, and then take decisive measures? Will
Is there something wrong with your life outside? This is how you can seize the opportunity!"
When Neserrode said these words, he was actually so happy in his heart, because he knew the power of his words. With Nicholas I's temper, he would definitely get furious after hearing this? Maybe he would give it right away?
Prince Mikhail was dismissed on the spot, to say the least? Even if he was not dismissed on the spot? It would definitely leave a mark in his heart, and Prince Mikhail would suffer from it in the future.
So what’s the harm in Neserrode’s words? They sound like good words!
Indeed, most people think that there is no problem, thinking that Neserrode is defending Prince Mikhail? But in fact, it is so bad that it oozes pus!
What did Nicholas I hate most? What he hated most was that soldiers were disobedient? They would do whatever they wanted without listening to his orders. In his opinion, if the soldiers really refused to accept the order of the foreign emperor, then he, the tsar, would be doomed.
.
Drawing on the experience of his ancestors, especially after the lessons of the Decembrist uprising, Nicholas I on the one hand gave great importance to soldiers, but on the other hand he was very strict. Only soldiers who were obedient and consistent with his three views
Talents may be appointed. As long as there is the slightest sign of being unorganized, undisciplined and disobedient? He will take it down!
And listen to how Neserrode said nice things to Prince Mikhail just now. Those words were all about driving Prince Mikhail to a dead end, okay? This is not saying nice things at all, it is simply killing people without seeing them.
Is blood good?
Fortunately, Prince Mikhail was not alone in the court. He also had friends. Prince Ordorf, who had not spoken much, immediately became alert after hearing Neserrodie's words. He did not hesitate.
Helped to fight back:
"Your Excellency Prime Minister? What do you mean by these words? Why do I feel that they are not good words and are suspected of sowing discord? You said that Duke Mikhail took actions against Turkey on his own initiative and would not accept the order of the foreign king! But!
We all know that before taking action, Prince Mikhail has made clear his views to His Majesty, as well as the risks and countermeasures involved."
Duke Oldorf suddenly asked in a more serious tone: "Where is it that you are taking matters into your own hands? You deliberately confuse right and wrong and stir up trouble. What is your intention?"
Prince Ordolf was not polite at all, and only such an unabashed confrontation could leave Neserrodie speechless. People who play dirty are most afraid of everything being exposed to the sun. When Aldo
If the Duke of Husband tells the story, his conspiracy will naturally be revealed!
Nicholas I's expression changed again. Although there were still dark clouds, everyone could see who these dark clouds were directed at. He was very dissatisfied with Neserrodie. But he did not directly look for him.
Neserroddie settled the accounts and didn't say anything more, but went directly to the next topic:
"Bucharest has been recaptured, and the end of the Wallachian rebels is not far away. It is foreseeable that the order in Wallachia will soon return to normal in the future. In view of the previous lessons, it is necessary to
To station an army and send a governor, do you have any recommendations?"
