Chapter 85: lesson
Nikola Milyukin moved. He knew that Count Rostovsev had always been well informed and informed, but it was a bit scary to know that even Grandpa Constantine had the cards in his hands.
究竟 What kind of relationship does this count have? Is he really in charge of the third part, not the Duke of Ordorf?
What worries Nicholas Milyutin is that if these were known to Count Rostovtsev, did it mean that Nicholas I also knew?
For a moment, Nikola Milyukin's back goose bumps rose. If the arrangement of Archduke Constantine was known to Nicholas I, it meant that their arrangement was meaningless. It ’s like meat buns hitting dogs without going back!
"Don't be nervous, my friend."
Count Count Rostovcev was still so calm, free and easy. He said leisurely:
"I know some things that do not mean that your Majesty also knows. Although we look at the same documents and listen to the same report, people are different."
"His Majesty did not know your specific plans, and did not even notice your small actions, and even with a little suspicion, under my misdirection, his direction of thinking was deviated."
"You are still safe!"
Cries ...
Nicholas Milyutin suddenly relaxed a lot, Nicholas I brought too much pressure, it is really not easy to want to carry this little action on the back of the emperor. Fortunately, there is a deep sea on their side. Count Rostovtsev helped to fill in the vacancies.
"But don't be too happy!"
One word from Count Rostovtsev made Nikolai Milyutin nervous again.
"Even if your Majesty is not aware, it is not easy for you to deal with Menshekov. In my opinion, the winning percentage is at most six or four!"
Nicolas Milyukin was surprised: "No! We only have a 60% winning rate? Why?"
Count Rostovsev looked up at him again and said lightly: "No, you only have a 40% chance of winning ... just because Menshkov is His Majesty, the No. 1 loyal dog after the death of Benkendorf. Your Majesty's trust in him is beyond your imagination! "
Nicholas Milyukyo has been stunned. He is a little confused and doesn't understand why this reason is so powerful. They have collected a lot of ammunition, including a lot of evidence of Menshekov, these things are really explosive!
Count Rostovtsev laughed: "My friend, you have never been clear. In our country, under His Majesty's rule, the most important thing is not ability, not ethics, not morality, not social networks, but Her Majesty. Trust. "
"Your Majesty trusts you, even if you do not forgive the evil, and you will not be troubled. No one can get you in trouble. And if your Majesty doesn't trust you, even your merit will be great, and a trivial mistake will make you dingy. Out of St. Petersburg. "
"And unfortunately, Your Majesty has enough trust in Menshekov. The things in your hands, at most, let the old **** be scolded, and it is impossible to get him out of the Admiralty building."
Nikola Milyutin was stunned, he wanted to refute, but his experience and knowledge since politics told him that Count Rostovtsev was right. Russia is so wonderful, so deformed and so speechless!
"Do you mean, are we doomed to futility?"
Looking at Nicolas Milyutin with a look of depression, Count Rostovtsev was a little sorry. Compared with his brother Dmitry Milyutin, Nikola Milyutin is more knowledgeable, more capable, and more motivated and organized, but he is far worse than him. Brother, that is calm and calm.
Nicolas Milyukin is a little bit detached, presumably because of his more active thinking relationship, so a small victory or dawn can stimulate his enthusiasm, and the same set of frustrations and failures can make him downcast.
Dmitry Milyukin is completely different. He was like a huge rock, and he was there, no one could waver. Compared with him, Nikola Milyukin is like a flame. When the fuel is abundant, the light and heat are unlimited. When the fuel is scarce or when it encounters wind and rain, you can only let the rain blow the wind.
伯 In Count Rostovtsev's view, conspiring on dangerous matters is more suitable for Dmitry than Nicholas. The latter is too uncertain and susceptible to external interference and influence. But unfortunately, although Dmitry also participated in their career, he did not reach such a key position of Nicholas. Only Nikola, the free-riding kid, could help for the time being.
"I didn't say that," Count Rostovtsev conceived his speech in a flash, and he said politely: "I mean you shouldn't set your goals too high for this action. Don't count on one A punch can knock down Menshkov, that's not realistic! "
With a little groan, Count Rostovtsev continued: "The battle with Menshekov is a long process, and it is dangerous to expect quick victory. What we have to do is shake him up a little in politics. Foundation, little by little to shake your trust in him ... "
"This may take more time, but it is safer and easier to do. And at the level of that old guy, there are countless mistakes. I will report one or two today, and report three or two tomorrow ~ www.readwn.com ~ If you accumulate less, then more ... "
Count Rostovtsev smiled faintly: "From my understanding of His Majesty, although he likes loyal dogs, he hates loyal dogs who constantly make mistakes and cause trouble. After all, he is a mean emperor and hates a person When you forget, that person was countless good! "
Count Rostovtsev looked at Nikola Milyutin and asked, "Do you understand what to do?"
Nikola Milyutin sighed, he understood what Count Rostovsev meant, but he was somewhat reluctant. This is because their December party members really hope to make a comeback and win a key victory.
If it is possible to bring down Menshekov in one fell swoop, it will be a major victory and it will greatly inspire their fighting spirit. Obviously, quick victory is impossible. Although the old **** could still be defeated in the end, it was too time consuming.
Rostovtsev could see what Nicholas Milyutin was tangling, and warned once again: "My young friend, hurry up and put away your impatience. Our career is doomed to be once and for all. . The lesson of 1825 is already tragic enough, I don't want to do it again! "
Nicolas Milyutin hurried to sit upright, because Count Rostovtsev was rarely so severe, and he immediately nodded solemnly and agreed: "Yes, Count. Follow your will!"
Count Rostovtsev nodded and asked with a smile: "My friend, don't be so nervous, I just remind you. You have done a great job before, a little flaw and impatient waiting are understandable. . "
After praising and encouraging Nikola Milyutin, he suddenly asked: "I heard that in this operation, Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich played a key role?"
