Struggle in Russia - #2298 - Vol 3 Chapter 1346: Lower your head
Viscount Prozolov was so anxious, but Grand Duke Constantine had already run away and he couldn’t stop him even if he wanted to, not to mention that he might not dare to stop him.
He is a smart man and knows the temper of Grand Duke Constantine very well. Although this Grand Duke is sometimes very stubborn and refuses to listen to advice, that is because he has not touched the bottom line. Even if he does not listen to advice, there will be no future troubles.
But the current situation is completely different. Archduke Constantine has become extremely angry. He is so embarrassed that he cannot give in. If you try to persuade him at this time, he will hate you as well.
Viscount Prozolov still knows what it means to be aware of current affairs and what it means to be wise and protective. Even if he knows that leaving Grand Duke Constantine alone will cause the situation to collapse further, he will not foolishly risk being resented by Grand Duke Constantine. Risk speaks out.
A counselor is a counselor. He cannot overstep his authority. He must know how to protect himself.
Anyway, it was Grand Duke Constantine who suffered in the end. As long as he, the lord, was not afraid of losing his interests, why should he, the counselor, take risks and talk too much.
From this perspective, the reason why Viscount Prozolov is difficult to be reused is also obvious. It is impossible for a person like him to advise the Lord wholeheartedly, at least not with his heart and soul.
He is very clear about his position as a senior worker. If the boss listens to the advice, he will speak more. If he doesn’t listen, he will do his best and obey fate.
Naturally, such a state cannot be compared with Li Xiao and the others. Li Xiao and the others are fighting for their own careers. Even if they know that their temporary interests will be damaged, they will grit their teeth and persevere for the sake of long-term interests.
Li Xiao and the others are even more willing to risk their lives for their own careers. Naturally, they go all out while clocking in and out at regular intervals. Can this be compared?
Naturally, Viscount Prozolov was short of breath every time he reached a critical moment, and the difference was in his mentality.
If he could risk his life like Li Xiao to persuade Grand Duke Constantine, would he be led astray by Grand Duke Constantine every time?
Obviously, he couldn’t do it, so it’s not surprising that he was beaten all the time.
After following Grand Duke Constantine out and getting into the carriage, he sighed: “Your Highness, I must remind you that you may have to face Count Nikolai Milyutin’s full attack next, and more than one person may be arrested.” A few editors of the Voice of Liberty are so simple!”
Grand Duke Constantine asked with a straight face: “Does he still want to kill everyone?”
Viscount Prozolov smiled bitterly and said: “Killing them all is a bit exaggerated, but the scholars and intellectuals who support you will definitely be targeted by him.”
Grand Duke Constantine stopped talking. This possibility did exist. What Nikolay Milyutin said just now was already so unpleasant. It would be normal to do something that would make him uncomfortable.
But he will never give in, never surrender, he will tell Nikolai Milyutin that he is not dough and can be manipulated casually!
“Gather some men!” Grand Duke Constantine gritted his teeth. “The worst we can do is fight him. I want to see what he is capable of!”
Viscount Prozolov wants to raise his forehead. What kind of manpower should be summoned? Didn’t you call a meeting yesterday and vowed to kill the opponent until every piece of him was left alive?
But now?
It’s you who’s being hanged and beaten!
If you still want to challenge others at this level, do you think you have a short face or only have a memory of seven seconds?
Naturally, Viscount Prozolov could not watch him die, and quickly said: “Your Highness, if you must fight Count Nikolai Milyutin, I must remind you that those in the public opinion and intellectual circles may not stand up to him. You must find some stronger supporters, otherwise you have little chance of winning!”
In fact, Grand Duke Constantine also thought about this problem. The press and intellectual circles were directly beaten, which fully shows that relying on these people to challenge Nikolai Milyutin will only bring humiliation to themselves. But the problem is that these people are already his strongest supporters, and the other people are not important enough!
Viscount Prozolov thought to himself: You also know that you don’t have diamonds at your disposal, so why are you rushing to get the porcelain job?
But he couldn’t say this clearly. After saying that, Grand Duke Constantine might deal with him first, so he could only remind him tactfully: “So it’s best to consider this matter in the long run. Your Highness, let’s give up the temporary gains and losses of honor and disgrace for the long term.” !”
This was to persuade him to give up, but how could Grand Duke Constantine be willing to listen? He said angrily: “It’s absolutely impossible. If we lose this time, we will be bullied by Nikolai Milyutin in the future, and we will even be That **** won’t take me seriously either! Even if we can’t turn defeat into victory this time, we must let them see our determination to fight to the end and tell them that we are not easy to bully!”
The corners of Viscount Prozolov’s mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: That’s up to you, anyway, I don’t have anything good to do. You don’t even have a pair of aces in your hand, how can you challenge someone who has four 2s in their hands?
But it’s not enough if he doesn’t speak, UU read www.uukanshu.net because Archduke Constantine is a somewhat reliable think tank like him, who else can he ask besides Ji Yu?
This made Viscount Prozolov scratch his head in worry. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: “What is the attitude of His Majesty? Do you think you can have a chat with His Majesty…”
Grand Duke Constantine said angrily: “How can he help me? If he doesn’t help Nikolai Milyutin, it’s okay to deal with me together. What’s your idea?”
Viscount Prozolov hurriedly explained: “Your Highness, don’t be anxious, this happens one after another. At this time, both you and Count Nikolai Milyutin support the reform, and of course His Majesty does not want to see you. But if you tell His Majesty and the Count If there is a conflict and we have to fight it out, who do you think His Majesty will help?”
Grand Duke Constantine was stunned. He had never thought about it from this angle. From Alexander II’s point of view, he naturally does not want to see the reformists unite as one. He is probably very happy to see Nikolay Milyutin fighting with himself. If the reformists split like this, he will definitely be the happiest person.
Think about it from this point of view, if you go to ask him, maybe he will really stand on your side to deal with Nikolai Milyutin.
But for Grand Duke Constantine, this was really a bit shameful. What he looked down upon the most was the cowardly elder brother, who kept holding his breath to point the finger at the other party.
Now it is too shameful and frustrating for him to kneel down and beg for help with a shameful face!
But this is the only way to compete with Nikolai Milyutin. Now he needs to make a choice to see whether he wants to be humiliated by Nikolai Milyutin or Alexander II!
After pondering for a long time, he clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, “I’ll go find him right now!”
