Struggle in Russia

Chapter 362 Prozolov's Strategy (Part 2)

Viscount Prozolov thought for a long time but failed to come up with a good way to explain the situation to Grand Duke Constantine, so he could only reply vaguely: "I have been observing Count Rostovtsev for a while, although I can't be sure political leanings, but I don't think he will...not be biased toward us..."

Grand Duke Constantine was not a fool either. Although he didn't fully understand Viscount Prozolov's meaning, he could tell that the other party suspected that Count Rostovtsev was being biased.

Will it be sideways?

Grand Duke Konstantin also murmured in his heart. Although he had a lot of contact with Count Rostovtsev, it was really hard to say that he knew more about the count. At least from what he knew, the earl was definitely not an enlightened person. From his life style to his conduct, he showed the deep old fox temperament of the city.

Grand Duke Constantine felt that an old fox like this size would definitely not easily favor him. These old foxes under his father's emperor all had one common feature, that is, to protect Crown Prince Alexander. Not to mention that he has a very close relationship with his elder brother, but at least he will take the initiative to sell face.

And this time in Kiev, although it was a confrontation between him and Earl Uvarov, the earl is also very close to his elder brother. In order to mess with him, what position does his elder brother take? ?

Maybe his elder brother took the initiative to explain before Count Rostovtsev left St. Petersburg, and he would definitely let Count Rostovtsev cooperate with him, at least so that Count Rostovtsev would not help him.

So in short, he didn't want to please Count Rostovtsev at all, he wanted the position of Commander of the Kiev Gendarmerie? Take an early wash and sleep!

Thinking of this, Grand Duke Constantine was a little frustrated, and said dejectedly: "Can I just watch them do whatever they want?"

Viscount Prozolov carefully persuaded: "Your Highness, please forgive me, this is already the situation here in Kiev and Ukraine, and it would be a great fortune for me not to lose points here at most... Do you still want to be here?" A breakthrough here is really unrealistic!"

Grand Duke Constantine clicked his tongue and asked, "Then what do you think I should do next?"

Viscount Prozolov breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "I think the most important thing you should do is to get rid of this mess in Kiev as soon as possible, and the best policy is to go with the determination of a strong man, as long as Count Rostovtsev does not give you a dog on your head." If the shit pot is planted and framed, then give up what should be given up!"

Grand Duke Constantine opened his mouth. He was very unwilling to give up Ukraine, but he had to listen to Viscount Prozolov's suggestion. At least judging from his recent performance,

This person's vision is still very vicious.

Viscount Prozolov noticed that Grand Duke Constantine was hesitating, and he hurriedly continued to persuade: "Get out of the quagmire of Kiev as soon as possible, and you can concentrate on developing Moldavia and the Black Sea Fleet. In my opinion The chances are greater over there. Didn’t you hear that Prince Menshikov has sternly warned the Turks recently? Once the war really breaks out, there will be a lot of opportunities to make achievements there, much better than Ukraine!”

Grand Duke Constantine was a little moved, but he still had concerns. He said unwillingly: "It would be too cheap to just leave like this. Count Uvarov and his gang, these bastards have cost me years of hard work." It’s all in vain, how can I let it go so easily!”

"What's more, if we take the initiative to give in, they will definitely think they are easy to bully. What if they will intensify their troubles?"

This is indeed a problem, but Viscount Prozolov does not think it is a particularly big problem. He explained: "We are not taking the initiative to give in. After all, Peter Barek and Shuvalov are destined to collapse. Speaking of Uva Earl Rove’s loss is even greater. Next, he needs to think about how to keep the position of Governor of Ukraine, you don’t think there is no price to pay, do you?”

Seeing that Grand Duke Constantine was still angry, Viscount Prozolov said again: "If you really feel uneasy, you can also make trouble for the governor of Ukraine and make him pay more. The price is good!"

Although I feel that this is still not particularly relieved, Grand Duke Constantine also knows that there is only so much he can do, after all, the situation is like this.

So he sighed faintly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but sooner or later I have to settle this account with that old man Uvarov!"

In fact, this is a dead duck with a hard mouth. Viscount Prozolov just smiled bitterly in his heart, and then echoed a few times casually. He only hoped that Grand Duke Constantine would quickly forget about this and do what he should do quickly. .

And after Grand Duke Constantine vented a few words endlessly, he also found that it was meaningless to continue to draw circles and curse Count Uvarov, so he hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do next?"

Viscount Prozolov heaved a sigh of relief, and Grand Duke Constantine finally remembered to get down to business. He hurriedly said, "The most important thing you need to do now is to contact Grand Duke Nicholas!"

"Nicolas?"

Grand Duke Constantine didn't understand why he wanted to contact that idiot third brother. Apart from the use of his lower body, that guy's mind was completely muddled. Why should he contact him?

Viscount Prozolov explained earnestly: "Your Highness, Grand Duke Nicholas may not have much ability, but his current position is very important. Now he is acting as the governor of Ukraine and has a great say in all aspects of Ukraine!"

Grand Duke Constantine curled his lips and said in disdain: "It's just the right to speak. He still can't make a decision on the matter!"

The words are so true, but Viscount Prozolov said: "Although Grand Duke Mikhail and Count Rostovtsev are still needed to make decisions, he has the right to make suggestions after all! If he can speak for you, the matter It’s so much easier!”

Grand Duke Constantine smiled wryly and said: "How could Nicholas speak for me? It's not like you didn't see that he and Mikhail were in the same group. He obeyed that brat and he didn't make trouble for me. Thank goodness for that!"

Viscount Prozolov shook his head and said: "No! I don't think Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand Duke Mikhail are in the same group. They can only be regarded as a cooperative relationship at most. As long as you can give him enough benefits, I believe Grand Duke Nicholas will part ways with Grand Duke Mikhail!"

Grand Duke Constantine asked very curiously: "How can you see it?"

Viscount Prozolov smiled and replied confidently: "I have been observing them for a while, and I found that..."
