Chapter 285 Can Understand
Although Viscount Prozolov couldn't see the change in Raffle's expression through a mask, he could still feel the other party's hesitation. As for why the other party hesitated, he could probably guess, which made him look at Ralph with admiration.
Because only the sharpest people realize that what he just said is quite watery. For Grand Duke Constantine, it is certain that he wants to fight back and take revenge on Shuvalov, but the reality basically prevents him from doing so.
why?
Because Shuvalov's attack was too ruthless, not only abolished Bestuzhev Liumin directly, but also arrested many of his henchmen for various reasons and charges. Those charges were all well-documented, even with Viscount Prozolov's wisdom, he couldn't think of any way to exonerate so many people from so many charges.
To put it simply, Bestuzhev Ryumin's team was almost taken over in one pot, and they were the main force of Grand Duke Constantine in Ukraine. Without these people, he alone would not be able to compete with Peter Ba Lake and Shuvalov wrestled.
That's why Viscount Prozolov told Grand Duke Constantine earlier to make him more realistic. This round can be considered a success if he can be guaranteed not to be implicated. The best result is to rescue Bestuzhev. It's just a three-legged cat.
As for any revenge or comeback, it is impossible to do it without even thinking about it!
Naturally, Viscount Prozolov's words just now are, at best, putting gold on the face of Grand Duke Constantine, but this is also the art of negotiation. No matter at any time, you must not let the other party know your hole cards or bottom line, otherwise you must be the one who suffers in the next transaction!
It's just that Viscount Prozolov didn't expect his bluff to be seen through by Raffle. Strictly speaking, Ralph was just a little suspicious, but it was really not easy for a low-level gendarme.
Because Viscount Prozolov had seen too many aristocratic children with a lot of family background, they didn't have similar sensitivity at all, and they were all as dull as pigs' heads, so he could only let him fool around.
Compared with Ralph, they can simply turn around and shoot themselves to death.
Why do you ask Viscount Prozolov how he knew that Raffle was not of high status, was not a nobleman, or even came from the bottom of society?
For a spirit like Viscount Prozolov, even if Raffle covered his face, he could roughly guess the origin of the other party. Because the face is not the most important feature of a person, for a smart person like him, the truth can be ascertained based on the other person's accent, tone, body language and other tiny details.
For example, Raffle has been talking to him in Russian,
This basically can deny that he is a nobleman. These days, if you don’t know French, you really don’t want to call yourself an aristocrat in Europe. This is the most basic skill of being an aristocrat. The only common language in the upper class is French. If you can’t speak French, you are cut off from this circle.
Moreover, Viscount Prozolov recognized Lavre's accent, which is obviously a native of Kiev, and the various details of his exposed palm also show that he is not a pampered nobleman. Look at the calluses on that hand, which one? Do nobles have so many cocoons?
This is not over yet, Viscount Prozolov did not ask about the smell of perfume or cologne from the other party. You must know that although the circle of Russian aristocrats despises the French aristocrats who sprinkle perfume powder and perfume to wear stockings, these tones can I basically learned everything I learned.
Among the young Russian aristocrats today, if they go out without wearing some cologne, they are ashamed to meet people.
But none of these tunes are cheap, especially those French perfumes, all of which are frighteningly expensive, and they really can't afford it if they don't have any financial resources. At least for those Russian ordinary people who are struggling to make ends meet, these things are absolutely unaffordable.
And although Ralph can't afford to spend at all, his background also determines that he doesn't care much about body odor, and naturally he doesn't wear perfume to cover it up. Wouldn't it be nice for him to have that spare money and more plate-making industries?
Anyway, for Viscount Prozolov, he used his nose to guess Raph's status almost in a face-to-face. That is to say, Raph worked carefully, covered his head and face, and changed his clothes specially. Otherwise, Viscount Prozolov might be able to lock his identity to a very small range just from these details.
However, after Viscount Prozolov learned of this information, he became interested in this commoner who came from a humble background but was very smart. Since the last disastrous defeat to Li Xiao, Viscount Prozolov also summed up his experience and lessons.
He came to the conclusion that his teammates were a bunch of pigs, and he believed that these so-called nobles were completely lacking in brains in their actions. If they hadn't held them back, he would never have lost so badly.
But what made him feel confused was, if he didn't rely on these nobles for help, who could he rely on?
At least based on his experience, he can't see that in Russia, apart from the aristocrats, there is no one else who can play in the officialdom. For ordinary people, being able to read and write is considered very good. What kind of middle school and university, it is impossible to even think about it. OK.
It wasn't until he stayed in the prison of the third part for a while and came into contact with many young people of ordinary background who were arrested because of their liberal tendencies, that he discovered that Russia is not only able to produce talents from the aristocratic class.
Although these arrested young people are a bit ridiculously naive, but talking with them, we can find that they have ideals, beliefs, perseverance and can work hard to put them into action. These are much better than those noble sons who only know how to eat and die all day long.
After Viscount Prozolov chatted with these young people for a while, he found that he seemed to be moved. So after he was released from prison, the first thing he did was to go to Kiev University and meet many young people in school.
He found that these people are precious wealth! They each have their own talents, what they lack is a platform for them to display their talents. It's a pity that Nicholas I couldn't give them this platform, or that the Tsar couldn't give them a bright future. Even if he would give these young people some opportunities, they couldn't achieve it even if they worked hard all their lives. The top of the pyramid.
Because there are already people at the top of the pyramid, and these people and their descendants have no intention of giving way at all.
Anyway, after that trip, Viscount Prozolov began to understand why more and more young people in Russia began to hate Nicholas I and started to do right with him. If it were him, he would look like these young people...
