Chapter 131 Ideas (4)

Of course, although there is a certain degree of certainty in this matter, the risk is still not small. After all, the international situation and the mood of Nicholas I are not fixed. Who knows if there will be any variables in it. To put it bluntly, what if Uncle Nicholas I came here in a few days and was in a bad mood?

Li Xiao explained the pros and cons of this to Kornilov and Nasimov one by one, but these two are also people who do big things, and after just looking at each other, they made a decision - do it!

According to their plan, when Berkh held a meeting to decide who would command the fleet to deter Turkey, Kornilov would take the initiative to ask for help, and he, the deputy commander, would take the lead.

Why Kornilov and not Nasimov? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for Nasimov, the chief of staff of the Black Sea Fleet, to command the fleet? What's more, the victory in the Sinop naval battle in history was created by this brother alone. It seems better for him to go!

But Kornilov doesn't think so. From the perspective of the fleet, Nasimov, the chief of staff, is more important than his deputy commander, because his deputy commander's authority is not that great. After all, he has a real card on his head. The commander suppressed him, allowing him to only have a say in many fleet affairs without direct command.

But Nasimov, the chief of staff, is different. He has the power to directly command the fleet, and the daily training of the fleet and the formulation of combat plans are all in his hands.

To put it bluntly, Simov is responsible for the daily activities of the Black Sea Fleet. Once he is gone as chief of staff, Berkh can legitimately intervene in the affairs of the fleet. At that time, even if the deputy commander Kornilov wants to interfere It is also very troublesome.

On the contrary, even if his deputy commander is gone, Berge will not be able to directly intervene in the daily affairs of the fleet for a while, and the impact will not be that great.

What's more, from the perspective of future accidents and Nicholas I's character, if the deputy commander Kornilov took the initiative to admit his mistake, but the commander Berge did not express anything, it would probably be impossible to accept of.

After some deliberation, Kornilov naturally stood up without hesitation. In the future discussion of the action plan on how to deter the Turkish fleet, Nasimov's task is to sing the opposite. He must oppose too strong deterrent actions. It is best to It is to be able to directly tell Nicholas I that he opposes extreme pressure.

As long as this work is done beforehand, even if something goes wrong in the future, Nicholas I cannot implicate Nakhimov. After all, Nakhimov was opposed to it before, and you can’t just clean up those who disagree Bar?

Anyway, one of Nasimov and Kornilov will not be affected, and as long as there is one of them, the Black Sea Fleet is still under their control.

After all, Berge was the only one who was cheated to the point of crying.

But Li Xiao doesn't care about Berge, he is not the Virgin, not to mention he has a lot of things to do, there is really no foreign time to care about Berge's life and mood.

"Major General Nikolai Nikolaevich Muraviyov will arrive in Bucharest for observation soon?"

This news made Li Xiao a little puzzled. He knew about Nikolai Nikolaevich Muraviyov, but shouldn't this person go to the Far East at this time to cause trouble for the Qing Dynasty? Why did you come to Wallachia suddenly?

Nikolai Nikolaevich Muraviyov, later Count Amur. Yes, in fact, when you hear the name Amur, you basically know what good things this guy has done. It is blunt to say that this guy is the bitter master of the Qing Dynasty. The "Sino-Russian Aigun Treaty", "Sino-Russian Tianjin Treaty" and "Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing" are all closely related to this guy.

From Li Xiao's point of view, this guy is an invader, but from the point of view of Russia back then, this guy is a great hero.

Anyway, Li Xiao didn't have a good impression of this guy, and didn't like this bastard at all, but, this bastard was indeed a reformer and liberal back then, at least that's how Nicholas I saw him.

It is said that it was precisely because Nikolai Muraviev was very capable but also had a strong tendency towards liberalism and reform. Nicholas I felt that although he was a talent, he was not easy to use, and he did not dare to use it. Then he was sent to the Far East to harm the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, that was in history, but in Li Xiao’s time and space, I don’t know why this man who was supposed to be the governor of Irkutsk and Siberia at the end of 1847 is still in St. I went to Wallachia for inspection, what exactly is this guy here for inspection?

In fact, don't say that Li Xiao was surprised by Nikolai Muraviov's sudden inspection, even he himself was puzzled by the second monk. He had done a good job as the governor of Irkutsk and Siberia. Ra I recalled him to St. Petersburg with a decree.

When he first got this decree, Muraviyov was very happy, because no one likes the desolate Irkutsk and Siberia. Although this area is large, except for wild animals, they are exiles. To put it bluntly, he The governor is actually a leader of exiles.

At first Muraviyov thought that he had finally won the trust of Nicholas I, who was called back to St. Petersburg to entrust him with important tasks. He also thought that he finally had a chance to show his ambitions.

But after traveling halfway around the world and returning to St. Petersburg, he realized that was not the case at all. Nicholas I just arranged an idle job for him in the Ministry of War, and then he has been hanging there.

To be honest, this was like pouring a basin of cold water on Muraviyov's head, and it gave him a chill. Just when he was very depressed and felt that it would be better to take care of the exiles in the Far East and bully the Qing Dynasty, Nicholas I suddenly gave him an order to go to Wallachia for inspection.

In the words of Nicholas I, his task was to inspect the basic situation of the Wallachia army and the Russian garrison, and observe the development of Wallachia's defense along the way.

It was only after Chernyshov's explanation that Muravyov found out that Nicholas I actually sent him as a pawn, asking him to see the real combat readiness of Wallachia and prepare for the war.

It's just that this is still very strange to Muraviyov. Even if Nicholas I wants to prepare for war, and he can't trust the governor of Wallachia, he can send someone to take a look, but there is no need to travel thousands of miles from the earth. The other end called over to perform such a small task, right? It's too much trouble to say it bluntly, I don't know what it means!
