Crown Prince Alexander was actually very clear about Neserrodie's purpose of coming. He knew very well that the old prime minister was actually having a hard time, but did Neserrodie's life have anything to do with him?
If Neserrodie has always been his die-hard supporter, then it is normal for Crown Prince Alexander to protect Ichigo. But the problem is that Neserrodie is a very slippery guy. She seems to be very respectful to him as the crown prince, but
If you expect him to go through life and death for the sake of Crown Prince Alexander, that is just a dream.
Anyway, the relationship is neither far nor close. If we say we are close, we are not particularly close. If we say we are distant, we cannot talk about it. It is just a formal feeling.
If it was Crown Prince Alexander's preference, he would be too lazy to care about Neserrodie's affairs. Anyway, it was not up to him to decide who should be the Prime Minister.
But both Duke Baryatinsky and Dmitry Milyutin persuaded him to give Ranesherro a hand, which surprised him a little. Because Baryatinsky and Dmitri were a pair of
It is difficult for the right and left arm to be so unanimous on one issue!
"Do you think it would be beneficial to help Neserrodie?"
"Yes!"
"certainly!"
Baryatinsky and Dmitry answered almost in unison. To be honest, they were a little surprised. After they looked at each other, Baryatinsky first explained: "Your Highness, it is true that the Prime Minister has said
Your support is not that sufficient, but this does not mean that his support is not important. Grand Duke Constantine has been very active recently..."
And Dmitri said: "His Majesty is not very interested in Bulgaria. Whoever performs well on this issue may be favored. This is an opportunity!"
Crown Prince Alexander feels a headache when he thinks of Grand Duke Constantine. This younger brother has not stopped at all in the past two years. He has been wooing the ministers of the DPRK and China, and has vaguely formed a force. Although his father Nicholas I has never given up.
He meant to be useless, but the guy was jumping up and down, which made him really uneasy.
If, as Baryatinsky and Dmitri said, he would perform well on the Bulgarian issue and let his father see more of him, it would indeed be attractive!
“But the risks?”
Baryatinsky and Dmitri looked at each other again, and it was the former who explained first: "Your Highness, there is no risk at all. Haven't you seen that His Majesty has already made up his mind to put pressure on Turkey?"
It must be done!"
Dmitry also said: "As far as I know, Justice Constantine is actively operating, and he has the idea to replace Radherev as the commander of the Black Sea Fleet!"
Dmitry's answer seemed completely wrong, but Crown Prince Alexander was shocked. Why did Grand Duke Constantine become interested in the Black Sea Fleet, so far away from the political core of Russia? It seemed like a stupid move.
But what if he has big plans and plans to use the Black Sea Fleet to make a fuss about Bulgaria or Turkey?
Once Grand Duke Constantine wrote this article, Nicholas I would naturally look at him differently, which was quite bad!
"You mean to give Neserro a helping hand?"
Looking at Crown Prince Alexander who was still hesitant, Baryatinsky and Dmitri replied: "Of course we have to help, but we must do enough favors! Lest the old guy turn his back and deny it in the future!"
Crown Prince Alexander immediately understood that these two people wanted to take this opportunity to take advantage of Neserrodie, so that the old fox could no longer sway, and they wanted to make it clear that they could only support him.
Crown Prince Alexander would naturally be happy if this could be achieved, but he did not think Neserrodie was that easy to deal with.
"You are very justified in worrying. That guy is indeed an old fox. It is really difficult to force him to join the team... But difficulty does not mean that it is impossible. You just need to tell him..."
With the words and deeds of Baryatinsky and Dmitry, Crown Prince Alexander finally understood their intentions, and was immediately overjoyed, because according to this plan, Neserrodie might not be able to escape.
"You know, although I have a certain influence in the military, I can't just order them around. The Bulgaria issue is related to the overall situation. The military must have different opinions. It's not easy to convince them!"
Crown Prince Alexander pretended to sigh, and his expression made Neserrodie not panic but secretly happy, because he was so familiar with this routine, it was just a prelude to bargaining for terms!
So Neserrode was not panicked at all. He waited for the next step calmly. Sure enough, Crown Prince Alexander said after a while: "You must understand my difficulty. If I can make a decision, I will definitely support your suggestion.
Use strong political means to force Turkey to submit... But the problem is that because of the existence of certain people, the military has different opinions on this. Some of their words are unpleasant, and the implication is that I lack the overall situation and am too risky..."
After a pause, Crown Prince Alexander looked at Neserrode. Seeing that the old fox was listening very carefully, he said again: "These words make me very passive. Even if I am the Crown Prince, I must pay attention to the impact, right?"
Nesselrode completely understood what Crown Prince Alexander meant. He had thought that the other party's conditions would be like this before, but after Crown Prince Alexander actually proposed it, he was still a little uneasy and surprised. He felt that Crown Prince Alexander had indeed grown up.
In the past, he would not have negotiated terms so easily.
"Of course I can understand your difficulty," Neserrode replied cautiously. "If you don't hesitate to solve this problem for me, you will receive my wholehearted gratitude and I will do my best to serve you!"
Crown Prince Alexander stared at Neserrodie, because he never expected that this old fox would be so cheerful. According to Baryatinsky and Dmitry's estimation, this old fox should at least be able to bargain a bit before being extremely unhappy.
Submit willingly.
But who would have thought that he would surrender directly and express his sincerity as soon as he opened his mouth. This was so fast that even Crown Prince Alexander didn't believe it.
He was stunned for ten seconds before he said happily: "Okay! Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am very satisfied with your attitude. I will help you with this!"
Neserrodie's mood was completely different when she walked out of Crown Prince Alexander's office. There was no longer any anxiety or uneasiness, but only the feeling of relief after accomplishing something important.
You may ask why Neserrode sold himself so readily. This really does not fit with his personality. Could it be that he actually has other conspiracy?
