Chapter 102 Difficult

When it came to Wallachia, Duke Mikhail's face changed, from a series of excitement just now to a series of heaviness, which seemed to be unspeakable.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Let's talk about Earl Speranski's matter slowly. Alexander said that it is not appropriate to get too close to them for the time being. We are a bit conspicuous, and that kid is a bit impatient. If we get together It's easy to make big things happen, especially this time, it's even more troublesome to fight Count Uvarov openly!"

As he spoke, he sighed faintly and said, "Actually, I admire those boys quite a bit, but you should be able to figure out which one is more important. Let's take it easy!"

Duke Ordorf frowned, because he instinctively felt that things were not so simple, how did Wallachia become a scourge, even if they were connected with Count Speranski and Count Uvarov knew so what? If you really want to do it with real swords and guns, can that guy swallow them all in one gulp?

What's more, he thinks that the reforms made by Alexei in Wallachia are still very measured, and the scale is very good, so as not to cause any big troubles. He even thinks that he can learn from it in China. , some old almanacs are indeed outdated.

"Your idea is very dangerous. Anyway, I have brought it to you. It is not my request to keep a distance from Earl Speranski for the time being. It was Alexander who said it. If you don't believe me, I won't believe him!"

Duke Aldorf couldn't help hesitating when he heard that it was Duke Alexander, because he knew the level of Duke Alexander very clearly. It was very nourishing, and Duke Alexander took the most credit, so he was convinced of Duke Alexander's judgment.

Immediately, he sighed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't say anything more, let's finish the cable telegram first!"

As Duke Mikhail and Duke Aldorf finalized the distribution of benefits, the matter of cable telegrams was basically settled. It's just that the old Duke of Aldorf did not announce the results immediately, but continued to cover up and not tell the truth. He also treated the conservatives who came to lobby with kind words, pretending to be neutral.

This posture is very deceptive, and even Uvarov was concealed from it. He thought that Duke Ordorf should have hesitated a lot when he knew about the matter, but it was because he didn't know how to explain it to Nicholas I. Deliberately procrastinating.

The real reason is definitely not what Uvarov imagined. Duke Ordorf is helping Duke Mikhail buy time. After all, as long as his report is submitted to the cable telegraph, this project is imperative. How to win this project? The project still needs Duke Mikhail to think of a way, and he is delaying time here to help Duke Mikhail make a connection!

half a month later,

After Duke Mikhail had almost cleared up all aspects of the relationship, he easily handed over the conclusions he had reached a long time ago, and this time the world fell apart!

Yes, for the reformists headed by Count Uvarov, this is a catastrophe, because they are completely unprepared for this, and they never imagined that Duke Ordorf would admire how good the cable telegraph is. They thought that this matter should be turned into a small matter and finally forgotten!

"This old man!"

Count Uvarov went mad in a rare way, and he slapped the table angrily: "What does Alexei Ordorf mean?!"

No one can answer this question, because the conservatives are confused by the choice of the Duke of Aldorf. They have clearly expressed their attitude. It stands to reason that as long as the Duke of Aldorf is not stupid, he should know how to choose.

But this time he chose to fight against them. Did he eat gunpowder or steel bars?

Chernyshev asked in a low voice: "Is it possible that this is actually His Majesty's intention?"

There are a lot of conservatives who speculate like this, because it can be said that the cable telegram was created by Nicholas I. Maybe it is His Majesty who wants to start this project?

"Impossible!" Old Adlerberg denied this statement. "According to His Majesty's temper, if he really wants to build a cable telegraph, he can just give orders directly, and there is no need to go around this detour!"

Pobedonostsev also said: "This is not His Majesty's character, I think it is mostly Duke Ordorf's own meaning!"

But why does this answer sound so ridiculous? After all, there is only one Duke of Aldorf, but there are probably no less than ten conservative giants among them. He can't even figure out this power balance!

At this time, Bariatinsky said: "I think it's money that moves people's hearts. Seeing His Majesty's intention, the cable telegraph will definitely be launched. This is a big project. It's hard to say that the Duke of Ordorf is not tempted!"

This analysis hits the point. The cable telegraph project is indeed not a small one. Even Count Uvarov and others repeatedly opposed it at the imperial meeting, but they could not stop Nicholas I from spending a lot of money.

Whoever gets this project will get rich, even conservatives like them are a little bit excited, okay!

It’s just that it was a complete heartache for Count Uvarov. In his opinion, the money Nicholas I invested in the cable telegraph was the anointing of their conservatives. The money should have belonged to their conservatives. How can it be used for the cause of maintaining their dominance, and how can the reformists pry it away with the help of the enemy!

"We must mess up this project!" Uvarov gritted his teeth. This is the first time he has expressed his attitude so clearly, which shows how angry he is.

It's just that this made the old Adlerberg and others look at each other, because this matter is difficult to handle. If Nicholas I did not express his attitude, it would not be difficult to disturb the cable telegram. But once Nicholas I expressed his attitude, the nature of the matter changed completely!

In Russia, the will of the tsar was tantamount to the will of God, and no matter who they were or what their status was, they could not oppose the tsar. The decision made by the Tsar must be implemented, even if conservatives do not like this decision, they must accept it.

This is actually the core theory of the conservatives, but now according to Uvarov, the core ideas of the conservatives collapsed first, and it would be very difficult to lead without a team of beliefs!

Of course, the most important thing is not just a matter of belief, but the consequences of challenging the tsar are very serious. Once Nicholas I finds out that they are playing tricks, what will be the result?
