Chapter 91 The Road to the Future (Part 2)

Alexei understood what Li Xiao meant. It is not impossible to cooperate with Grand Duke Constantine, but it depends on how to cooperate. If it is on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, then we can cooperate. But if Grand Duke Constantine is too aggressive, then naturally he cannot be bullied by others.

After figuring this out, Alexei will be able to figure out how to operate in the future. For them, Count Vladimir's fishbone must be picked out, and they cannot let this guy spoil their good deeds. But with Nicholas I's character and methods, it would definitely be thankless for the two of them to pick this thorn.

But if Grand Duke Constantine also took action against Count Vladimir and helped to pick thorns together, then Nicholas I must weigh it carefully. The real son and the wild son are definitely not the same. As a person who cares about face, let outsiders know that he is helping the wild son and not helping his own son, and the gossip will not be pleasant.

What's more, with Li Xiao's ability, he can set off a three-foot wave without wind. When there is wind, he can't be a demon to death. At that time, public opinion will give Nicholas I a headache.

In other words, with justifiable charges and the endorsement of Grand Duke Constantine, then a mere Count Vladimir is nothing. Even if Nicholas I was reluctant, he could only take down this wild son Block the mouth of the world.

"You really are!"

After thinking clearly about Li Xiao's thoughts, Alexei smiled wryly, because it's not impossible to do this, but it is easy to be hated by Nicholas I, but considering that someone has already filled Nicholas I's hatred Yes, there are too many lice and I am not afraid of biting.

"It's cheap, Grand Duke Constantine, he is really lucky!"

Alexei had a bad impression of Grand Duke Constantine, especially after the incident with Viscount Prozolov, the little fat man could almost be equated with the enemy in his mind. Letting him cooperate with the enemy does require some psychological construction.

"He's not really an enemy," Li Xiao persuaded, and said slowly, "Actually, not only are we not enemies, but we should still be friends."

This argument surprised Alexei, he stared at Li Xiao dumbfounded, wondering if the nonsense person in front of him was his friend.

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Li Xiao smiled wryly, "I didn't take the wrong medicine! In fact, that little fat man and we are both supporters of reform. No matter what his motivation for supporting reform is, he will always support reform!"

Li Xiao is very clear that in the history of Alexander II's reforms, the biggest pillar of the reformist faction was actually the Grand Duke Constantine. Without the full support of the Grand Duke,

There is no way this reform can be carried out at all. And as the Grand Duke was forced to resign because of his son's messy affair with a girl, Alexander II's so-called reforms were announced to have ended without a problem.

In a sense, the ups and downs of Grand Duke Constantine represent the ups and downs of the reformers, and it can be said that all prosperity and one loss.

However, in this time and space, because of the personal grievances between Li Xiao and the father and son of Nicholas I, the division of power within the Reformist Party became more complicated, and it seemed that Grand Duke Constantine was not so important, but it is undeniable that this little fat man is indeed a real deal reformist.

Since everyone is a reformist, if we can put aside personal grievances, there is actually a basis for cooperation, and we can barely be regarded as friendly forces.

It's just that it's a bit difficult for Alexei to accept this friendly army immediately, because he doesn't appreciate the little fat man's approach.

"What he does is his business," Li Xiao said, "He has his way, and we also have ours. I'm not telling us to follow his way, but to say that no matter which way we go, our goals are still the same. Yes, as long as the purpose is the same, we can cooperate. And now we must cooperate with him!"

Alexei was noncommittal about the road and the purpose, because he felt that the goals of the two parties were not completely consistent. The ultimate goal of the little fat man was the throne, not reform. But Li Xiao said that they had to cooperate with the little fat man, which surprised him!

He lost his voice: "Why?"

Li Xiao smiled bitterly: "My friend, don't you realize that we have become a thorn in the side of some people? No matter how we cover it up, we can't cover up the fact that we are carrying out reforms in Wallachia. Now those old stubborn people in St. Petersburg have seen through our disguise, Count Vladimir is just a starter, if you take him away, do you think there will be no other big dishes waiting for us later?"

Alexei was stunned, and said in a low voice: "It's not possible, I think we are quite low-key!"

"Low-key can't change what we do change what those old stubborn people value the most," Li Xiao sighed again, "Look at the recent attitudes of Duke Mikhail and Duke Alexander, can't it explain something?"

Alexey was taken aback for another moment, and then finally realized that the relationship between them and those two has become a bit ambiguous since last year. They used to be very active in contact, and they wanted to show Vala to the world. Ji Ya is covered by them. But now even if they send money over, their attitude is not salty, and there is a vague sense of alienation. It is obvious that the two old foxes may have sensed something, and they are trying to clear it up!

Alexei suddenly took a breath. He knew very well that their biggest reliance in Wallachia was the Gorchakov family as an ally. Without this important ally, relying on his own strength, I really can't mention it enough.

"Can't you try to clear up the relationship?" Alexei asked with a bitter face.

"Impossible!" Li Xiao replied with certainty, "Those two dukes are both good people. Although they are relatively open-minded, they will not do it if they are asked to clearly support the reform! So we must unite everything that can The power of unity, because I think those old stubborn people behind will become more ruthless every time!"

Alexei thought for a while and muttered: "But Grand Duke Constantine is not a strong ally! If he has a way, he won't be forced to come to Moldavia! We might as well find a way to show favor to Alexander Where is the crown prince!"

Li Xiao shook his head immediately: "It is impossible for our crown prince to accept your defeat, not only because of my relationship, but more importantly, the biggest reliance behind him is actually those old stubborn people. Do you think he will abandon those old people?" Will the old stubborn come to hug us?"

Alexei was speechless for a moment, while Li Xiao sighed: "So we have no other choice but to cooperate with Grand Duke Constantine!"
