Chapter 594: One Plan Fails

Chernyshev tried to delay time and get through, but Nicholas I simply did not follow his lead and said directly: "How long will it take to raise money as soon as possible? Is it a week or a month or a quarter? Do you, the Minister of War, Don’t you even have this number?”

Chernyshev secretly complained. In fact, the shortage of supplies was not that he could not provide Moldavia's share at all. Mainly because Count Uvarov kept him stuck, hoping that Grand Duke Constantine would fall soon.

Who could have imagined that this would happen today?

Anyway, Chernyshev is a little annoyed with Count Uvarov. Just say that you are causing trouble in secret, don't say it openly! What you said made Nicholas I come back to his senses. Not only did he fully affirm Grand Duke Constantine, but he also prepared to investigate those things that caused the stumbling block. What do you think you are trying to do today!

However, no one could help Chernyshev at this time. He could only bite the bullet and replied: "Wei Chen will do his best. It is estimated that it will take half a month to raise enough supplies..."

Nicholas I interrupted directly: "The rebellion in Moldavia has been going on for several months, and your Ministry of War has not paid attention to it, which has caused things to get out of control. I don't have half a month to give you, Within a week I will see supplies sent to Moldavia. Next month today I will see them arriving in Chisinau!”

Chernyshov suddenly had two big heads, and he was running out of time. Besides, what should Count Uvarov do?

Just when he was about to bargain again, Nicholas I stared at him coldly and asked: "Also, what about the 30,000 counter-rebellion troops used to reinforce Moldavia? It has been a month or two, and they have not arrived yet. Moldavia?”

Chernyshev did not dare to say anything, because not only did he not arrive in Moldavia, he did not set out at all. According to Count Uvarov's instructions, he told the general over there that he would not be in a hurry to get on the road if he could delay it.

If you think about it, no one is willing to go through all the trouble. Since the Minister of War said there is no need to worry, why bother?

"Why don't you answer?" Nicholas I asked fiercely, "I'm asking you where those 30,000 people are! Can't you answer such a simple thing?!"

Chernyshev's forehead was covered with fine cold sweat. He answered hesitantly: "Because the journey is long and the counter-insurgency troops are still marching, it will take quite a while to reach Moldavia..."

"It takes time again?!" Nicholas I sneered and said gloomily: "I asked you to prepare supplies. You said you needed time to prepare. You asked you to dispatch reinforcements. You also said you needed time to rush. What were you doing before that? Food? Why don’t you urge me!”

As he spoke, Nicholas I snorted heavily and said very displeasedly: "I think you are deliberately delaying and slowing down work! I don't want to listen to your nonsense now. First, all supplies must be delivered today next month. Da Chisinau, nothing less will do. Second, the counter-insurgency force must all enter Moldavia within two weeks. If not, you, the Minister of War, should stop doing it!"

After saying that, Nicholas I walked away directly. Everyone could see that he was extremely angry with Chernyshev and some people.

"Earl, you have done me a disservice!"

After the meeting, a frowning Chernyshev immediately found Uvarov.

"Where can I gather 30,000 counter-insurgency troops for him in such a short period of time?"

Uvarov's expression wasn't much better. It can be said that he lost everything in the imperial meeting just now. Not only did he fail to put some shoes on Grand Duke Constantine, but he actually made Nicholas I start to support him and his new policy one-sidedly. This was like giving him a direct cut and then adding salt to the wound.

What's worse is that with the full intervention of Nicholas I, those small moves before can no longer be carried out blatantly. After all, His Majesty has set a deadline, so how can he delay it?

However, although the situation was unfavorable, Count Uvarov did not think that he had lost. He comforted Chernyshev and said: "Don't be anxious, don't panic! The situation is not that bad, there is no need to scare yourself!"

"His Majesty didn't withdraw you directly, which means things are still improving. As for the supplies, if you squeeze in and mix them up, you should be able to get them. If it doesn't work, just send them over with shoddy goods at a fraction of the cost!"

"As for the reinforcements, this is a bit troublesome. The troops in Siberia haven't moved yet, right?"

Chernyshev nodded in frustration, but he didn't move!

Count Uvarov said decisively: "Then let them move!"

Chernyshev immediately became anxious: "But Your Majesty only gives me two weeks, even if you ask them to march in a hurry, they will not rush!"

Count Uvarov rolled his eyes at him and said contemptuously: "Are you stubborn? Troops are constantly entering Wallachia every day to participate in the war. You first divert some of it to fill this hole, and wait until the Siberian troops arrive to make up for it." It’s better if you don’t go up!”

Immediately, Chernyshev became silent. Why did this move of tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall look so familiar to him? What's more, Duke Mikhail is easy to get along with, but he is now jealous of the reinforcements and values ​​them more than treasures. It's very troublesome to take advantage of him, okay?

"It's better to be in trouble than to lose your job!" Count Uvarov snorted coldly, "Anyway, I'll think of a solution for you. It's up to you whether you do it or not. It's not my responsibility if you fail to complete the task!"

Chernyshov was full of bitterness. If he hadn't helped Count Uvarov, he would have made such a mess, but this old fox in front of him still stood and talked without pain in his back. He was really angry!

After thinking about it, he decided to advise: "Earl, now that His Majesty's defense of that person has been seen by everyone, it is unrealistic to defeat him. I think you should take your time before the time comes... "

Count Uvarov was unwilling to hear this. He retorted angrily: "Today was just an accident. If that person is not eliminated, we will not be able to settle down for a day... You think I am doing it for myself. I am doing it for myself." Everyone, only by taking advantage of this opportunity to go all out and solve the problem with one blow can the problem be solved! If we continue to delay it, we will only end up with more nightmares!"

Chernyshev stopped talking. He sighed and asked: "Then what are you going to do next? Looking at the current situation, those bastards in Moldavia are no match for that one!"

"I know! I know!" Count Uvarov replied irritably, "Aren't I just thinking of a solution? By the way, I heard that the person who helped suppress the rebellion was Dmitry Milyutin?"
