Chapter 52
The first round of dialogue between Golitsyn and Count Vladimir was very pleasant, but it was of no use. The two guys made false claims and no one was willing to tell the truth. Naturally, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Fortunately, these two were not fledgling youngsters either. After witnessing countless conspiracy scenes in St. Petersburg, they quickly found their rhythm again and started talking about serious business.
"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Constantine is in charge of Moldavia. Do you know the news, Your Excellency the Earl?"
Count Vladimir glanced at Golitsyn, some thoughts flashed in his mind, and then he replied calmly: "Of course I have heard that His Royal Highness Grand Duke Constantine is in charge of the overall situation in Moldavia, so it must be..."
After talking a lot of nonsense, he suddenly changed the subject and said: "But the situation over there seems to be very bad! It is said that the rebel party is very powerful and has caused a lot of trouble. Your Highness, he should be more prepared. Good!"
Golitsyn's complexion was not very good-looking. He naturally hoped that the value of his master would be too high and force Count Vladimir to make more concessions, but the other party was not an idiot, and he turned to talk about the chaos in Moldavia. , turned him into an army.
He took a breath and replied coldly: "His Royal Highness is naturally well-prepared, and how can a whole night of young people and mobs be His Royal Highness's opponent, this time His Majesty has promised His Royal Highness to have the right to make decisions!"
The so-called full decision-making power is actually that Nicholas I handed over all the government and military affairs of Moldavia to the Grand Duke Constantine, and let him grasp the military and political power. To be honest, this power is quite powerful.
After all, a person as suspicious as Nicholas I would not entrust military power casually, and the power possessed by Grand Duke Constantine is enough to make him a veritable emperor of Moldavia. It can be said that he wants to do nothing but rebel Anything is fine.
To be honest, this power makes other Russian governors only envious and jealous, but it is normal for him to be the son of Nicholas I, and it is normal to have this kind of treatment. Moreover, considering that the position of Crown Prince Alexander is becoming more and more stable, Nicholas I probably has new arrangements for the future of Grand Duke Constantine. This time, he sent him to Moldavia to clean up the mess.
It's just that the thoughts of Nicholas I are not known to a wild son like Count Vladimir. Apart from drooling over the detached treatment of Grand Duke Constantine, he can only slander Nicholas I's partiality. up.
And now Golitsyn is talking about this special gift that Grand Duke Constantine received. To be honest, Count Vladimir is a little uncomfortable, because the other party's vague pride has deeply hurt him. It's not that he is not qualified to refuse Grand Duke Constantine's kindness now,
He sincerely brought tea to Golitsyn immediately.
Seeing Count Vladimir's face darken a bit, Golitsyn was still a little proud, and said to himself: "How about it, a wild boy like you knows how powerful your son is! Make you proud!"
It can only be said that Golitsyn is really not a person who does big things, or that a guy like him can't do any serious things, otherwise he wouldn't even have this bit of vision. He never thought that if he angered Vlaky What will be the consequences of Earl Mill, the overall situation and emotional intelligence are not so bad!
It can only be said that this guy is lucky. If Count Vladimir hadn't come to him when he was in the most embarrassing time, the consequences would have been really unpredictable.
"Then I wish His Royal Highness all the best and manage Moldavia in an orderly manner!"
Golitsyn could hear the indifference and lack of interest in Count Vladimir's words, but what was more interesting was that he didn't mean to wake up, but was a little proud of it, and felt that it was a sense of accomplishment to deflate Count Vladimir .
So he said proudly: "This is natural, but His Royal Highness always believes that Moldavia and Wallachia are one, and that one is prosperous and the other is damaged. It is not enough to solve the problem of Moldavia. Lagia is holding back, His Royal Highness thinks it is necessary for the two Grand Duchess to carry out all-round cooperation!"
Count Vladimir finally came to his senses. He looked Golitsyn up and down, and felt for the first time that this guy didn't come to deliberately humiliate him. He couldn't help thinking that if Grand Duke Constantine was willing to cooperate with him and help him become the governor of Wallachia, what a wonderful scene it would be!
Thinking of this, his breath became a little short of breath, and he couldn't wait to get to the point and quickly negotiate the conditions, and then quickly stepped up to the stage to become the governor. To be honest, he was almost out of breath due to the damn debt!
It's just that Count Vladimir still has a sliver of sanity. He knows that he shouldn't be too anxious.
He didn't directly respond to Golitsyn's words, but glanced at Arkady next to him. The latter was also a little short of breath at this time. Obviously, Mr. Secretary also realized what a good opportunity this was!
Count Vladimir and Arkady looked at each other without leaving a trace, and both of them could see the greed and longing in each other's eyes, and there was no way to hide that kind of thing.
"His Royal Highness really has a heart, he is worthy of being the pillar of the empire!" Count Vladimir sighed pretendingly, and then asked: "Then, did His Royal Highness say how you want to cooperate?"
Golitsyn cast a contemptuous look at Count Vladimir in his heart - secretly said: "Fake it! You are still pretending here! I really think I can't see what you really want to know!"
He smiled and replied: "Naturally, it is an all-round cooperation. We must cooperate in all fields and aspects, and we must completely integrate the two grand duchies into one!"
Like Alexei, Count Vladimir is not interested in such nonsense. He just wants to know what he can get and what price he will pay. Save this kind of shit and talk to others!
However, it is not convenient for him to ask questions directly at this time, because it would appear that he is a little too anxious and enthusiastic. In order to hold down the price, he gave Arkady next to him a wink, and the latter immediately asked understandingly: "Let the two grand duchies It's great to be completely integrated, but what does His Royal Highness want to do? With all due respect, there are huge obstacles, and even His Royal Highness may not be able to settle it!"
Golitsyn's original plan was to continue painting big cakes, but when Arkady interrupted him, his thoughts became a little confused, so he could only haha and said, "No matter how difficult it is, His Royal Highness will not be troubled, because His Highness has already I have made up my mind to make this happen!"
