Struggle in Russia

Chapter 907 A Decision Has Been Made

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】 【】

Alexander II was very satisfied with Count Shuvanov's "intelligence" and "wiseness". He knew very well that in today's situation only by promoting people like Count Shuvanov could he effectively fight against the somewhat uncontrolled reformists.

As for whether the ambitions of people like Count Shuvanov would grow out of control in the future, he couldn't think about that much for the time being. For Alexander II, the most important thing was to deal with the immediate difficulties first.

However, he still had some doubts about how to use Count Shuvanov, because he had done a pretty good job in the Kingdom of Sardinia before, which fully proved that he was very capable of diplomacy. Otherwise, he should be allowed to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a troublemaker for Alexander. The Duke is causing trouble?

Alexander II was not at ease with Duke Alexander. After all, the two brothers were powerful in both civil and military affairs. Even if Neserroddie was temporarily standing in front of him so that he could not really get power, the combination of foreign minister and field marshal was still It's so unsettling.

A smart man like Count Shuvanov should be able to cause some trouble for Duke Alexander, right?

After thinking for a while, Alexander II asked: "Count, I am very satisfied with your diplomatic ability. It is a pity that someone like you does not go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs..."

Count Shuvanov's heart skipped a beat. He didn't want to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at all. The reason was very simple. Although he had done well in the Kingdom of Sardinia and achieved certain results, it had something to do with the lame status of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Like them When a second-rate country like that encounters a behemoth like Russia, it will naturally have to give in. With this foundation, it will be easier for it to handle in a long time.

But if you really let him go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and deal with great powers like Britain, France, Prussia, and Austria, then they may not really agree with him, and they might get into trouble.

What's more, he is not stupid at all. How could he not see that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be dominated by Duke Alexander in the future? This Duke is a shrewd man who is difficult to deal with. He also has a field marshal brother to support each other. With his small arms The calf is not big enough for one finger.

So he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, your will is my mission. If you want me to play a role in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then I will do my best...but I think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has Prime Minister Neserrodie." Duke Alexander is full of talents, and they are all much better than me. I can’t have immediate results if I go there.”

Alexander II looked at Count Shuvanov playfully. His refusal surprised Alexander II. However, he immediately saw through Count Shuvanov's mind and knew that this man did not dare to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was afraid of talking to Alexander. The Duke hits the front.

This couldn't help but make him feel angry and funny. Duke Alexander's strength had actually affected Count Shuvanov, which fully demonstrated the power of his power. As long as Duke Alexander was not that powerful, Count Shuvanov would not have dared to refuse when he, the Tsar, opened his mouth.

On the one hand, Alexander II was more afraid of Duke Alexander, and on the other hand, he also had a deeper understanding of Count Shuvanov's cunning. He knew that this man was too smart and slippery, and it was certainly unrealistic to expect him to be truly loyal.

Of course, he had already been mentally prepared for this. It was not like he had never seen Nicholas I's management and employment methods. The reason why he hired mediocre people like Menshikov and Paskovich was The reason is that they are not as clever as Count Shuvanov, and they don't have so many tricks.

The smart one is definitely not loyal enough, and the loyal one is definitely not that easy to use. How to use it depends on the specific analysis. At least for the time being, he still needs Count Shuvanov. He only needs to have a deep enough understanding of his nature.

Just don't delegate tasks that are too critical to him.

Count Shuvanov looked at Alexander II carefully. He knew very well what kind of impression his answer just now would leave on the Supreme Being, but he really didn't want to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so he could only gamble!

The bet is that Alexander II needs a smart dog like him now and should be able to tolerate some of his shortcomings. And he also firmly believed that as long as Alexander II gave him this opportunity, he would definitely tell the tsar with excellent results: Although he is not that loyal, he is really useful!

Finally, Alexander II spoke slowly: "Don't want to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? I thought you liked working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Then which department do you want to work for me?"

Count Shuvanov quickly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, thank you for your tolerance for tolerating my arrogance... If you allow me, I would like to go back to the third part!"

Count Shuvanov did not immediately explain why he wanted to return to the third part, because he knew that Alexander II would definitely ask, and sure enough, Alexander II immediately asked:

"In the third part, you really surprised me. It seems that you are ready to get up wherever you fall?"

Count Shuvanov nodded quickly and said: "Yes, Your Majesty. I have made some mistakes before and caused a lot of damage, which makes me always worried... I hope you will give me another chance, and I will use it." Take practical actions to wash away your previous mistakes!”

Alexander II probably knew what Count Uvarov asked Count Shuvanov to do before, but he didn’t really care about those things. After all, even Count Uvarov was in the past. Those bad things before What does this have to do with him?

However, Count Shuvanov took the initiative to bring up this issue, and he looked a little bit worried about it. Moreover, he suddenly thought that a cousin he hated very much was now the leader in the third part. Since Shuvanov The Earl Husband was very concerned about his previous setbacks, so he would definitely want to take revenge on that annoying guy. In that case, why not just go with the flow?

After thinking about this, Alexander II suddenly became cheerful and asked the arrogant Count Shuvanov to deal with Li Xiao. Even if he couldn't press the guy to the ground and rub him, he could still create some trouble for him. OK

After all, that guy seems to be very valued by Nikolai Milyutin and other reformists, who regard him as a key figure in corrupting and monitoring the third part. As long as Count Shuvanov can restrain that kid, the pressure on Konstantin Pobedonostsev can be relieved to some extent.

In this way, the latter will definitely be able to get started and control the third part faster. Once Pobedonostsev completely controls the third part, then he can sleep peacefully and not be disturbed by the slightest disturbance like now. Nervous and insomnia!
