Chapter 178 Don't Accept

Earl Kleinmichel's method is actually a typical bureaucratic solution to problems. Those that can be solved by tearing down the east wall are better than the west wall. They don't have to go to war. Peace is the most important thing. Being an official in the same field is nothing more than hello and me. Okay everyone, let's deal with it if we can.

Ordinarily, an emperor like Nicholas I should be able to accept such bureaucratic thinking. Anyway, as long as his troubles are solved, everything will be fine?

It's a pity that Nicholas I's subordinates are all bureaucrats, but he himself is a serious person. What he can't tolerate is that officials are perfunctory to him. He hopes that his country will be perfect and that he will become an emperor forever. Albert. Although his perfection must be in quotation marks, because the kind of country he likes is really not suitable for this era.

Even so, it is undeniable that Nicholas I still loves to be serious. He strives for perfection in everything, even if he is not perfect, he requires bureaucrats to be perfect. So it's not so easy to hang around under him. You have to make him feel that you did your best and did your best but in the end it was a real paddling.

Obviously Count Kleinmichel could not reach this level, so his method of forcing the east to compensate the west was obviously unacceptable to Nicholas I. The tsar's stubborn temper rose again, and he felt that the majestic Great Russia couldn't solve such a small matter well, so he didn't tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall! If you want to be him, you have to do your best!

So after a little thought, Nicholas I directly rejected Earl Kleinmichel's suggestion: "Not appropriate! Peter, who do you think can solve the problem of the Black Sea Fleet at present?"

In fact, this problem is still unsolvable, because in the view of Count Klein Michel, the problem of the Black Sea Fleet is nothing more than one point: because Berge is not strong enough to cause the defense to be fragmented, it must be replaced by another one that can pay attention to the defense of Sevastopol and the defense of Sevastopol. An excellent commander who can command fleet operations.

But what made Nicholas I very embarrassing and made officials of the ruling and opposition parties very speechless was that no such excellent candidate could be found for the time being. Please note that it’s not that there are none, but that they can’t be found for the time being, because both Kornilov and Nasimov are qualified for this role in terms of actual ability.

But because of Lazarev's relationship and the two looming reformist stances, Nicholas I and the conservatives were not at ease with them. Therefore, those who are capable and competent cannot be used, and the conservatives who can be trusted by Nicholas I are not capable enough, which is terrible.

Count Kleinmichel is not ignorant of the twists and turns here, but it is precisely because he knows too well that he gave such a suggestion to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. He just doesn't want to get involved in this matter. , secretly wanting to stay out of it.

It's just that this dream was ruthlessly shattered by Nicholas I, and he couldn't continue to shirk it, or simply say that I couldn't do anything about it.

Because after all, he was the military attaché of Emperor Nicholas I. This position is actually equivalent to a military advisor.

If Earl Kleinmichel had really been pretending to be deaf and dumb and simply pretending to be stupid, then Nicholas I would drive him away even if he missed his old love. For a king like him, there is something to be said for the friendship with his courtiers. If you are a waste, at most, you can occasionally talk with him and recall the past, and it is absolutely impossible to be reused.

Only those courtiers who have both old feelings and certain abilities can win the favor of Nicholas I, and to do this, they must show certain abilities, and must not pretend to be deaf and dumb.

So Count Klein Michel struggled for a while, and immediately resorted to the great method of kicking the ball. He replied loudly: "I don't have a good way to solve this problem for the time being. Your Majesty, why don't you do it like this? Rostovtsev The count and Count Uvarov are invited to come here, I believe the two of them must have a solution!"

This kick was so beautiful that Count Kleinmichel picked himself out without offending the two leaders of the Reformist and Conservative factions, and then satisfied Nicholas I. . I have to say that there is really a reason why this guy can play so well.

As expected, Nicholas I took this approach. He thought this suggestion was very good. As his left and right brains, Count Rostovtsev and Count Uvarov were indeed the only ones who could solve this problem. Immediately, he waved his hand and ordered: "Invite the two earls over here, hurry up!"

I have to say that this order is fatal. This is also due to the character of Nicholas I. His temper has determined that the country will always be the first in his mind, so he takes it for granted that as long as the country has needs, the ministers should Unconditional satisfaction, even though it is late at night, even though the matter of the Black Sea Fleet is actually not that urgent, but this is how he gave the order.

Fortunately, both Count Rostovtsev and Count Uvarov knew the character of Nicholas I. If you were the ministers of Britain and France at this time, you might be scolding your mother-you are so poor for such a trivial matter. Are you going crazy!

In fact, this is not the first time Count Rostovtsev and Count Uvarov were dragged up by Nicholas I in bed in the middle of the night. They have experienced it many times and are used to it. Even Count Uvarov, who is more extreme and perverted, is still complacent, thinking that it is a great honor to be eligible to be dragged out of bed by Nicholas I in the middle of the night, after all, not anyone can be trusted by the emperor so much!

What's more, in Earl Uvarov's opinion, generally only Nicholas I would be so perverted in major matters. Being able to know the major changes in Russia at the first time is also a great benefit in itself. If you know it early, you can deal with it early and think about countermeasures no.

It's just that after being called to the Winter Palace study by Nicholas I this time, Count Uvarov couldn't help but want to scold his mother, his grandma, you called me up for such a small matter?

Count Uvarov felt that Nicholas I was a bit inexplicable and excessive this time. Is Berge's little problem a big deal? Can a mere Turkey besiege Sevastopol?

Yes, Count Uvarov has the same thinking as thousands of ordinary people in Russia. They feel that it is impossible to achieve the achievement of besieging Sevastopol even if Turkey eats the bear heart and leopard courage. So what if Berge doesn't pay attention to defense work? Just because of this is he going to be replaced? I just don't know what to say!

It's just that this time before Uvarov complained or advised Nicholas I, Count Rostovtsev gave him a surprise...
