Struggle in Russia - #2305 - Vol 3 Chapter 1353: shocked

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】【】

Duke Alexander felt that there was a long way to go to teach his son. On the other hand, Alexander II also officially came to an end. For a while, the situation was quite unfavorable for Li Xiao and Nikolai Milyutin. It seemed that they were going to suffer a disastrous defeat in Waterloo!

Just when various analyzes and speculations from the outside world are emerging one after another and it seems that their failure this time is a foregone conclusion, as the parties involved, their emotions are quite relaxed.

“Sure enough, Your Majesty took action, and he sided with Grand Duke Constantine!” Nikolai Milyutin exhaled and said happily: “Your Majesty, he really has other plans!”

Nikolai Milyutin’s feelings towards Alexander II have always been very complicated. He has always been eager to persuade Alexander II to side with reform. At one time, he also saw some hope.

But as Alexander II came to power, and as he gradually expressed his attitude, Nikolai Milyutin realized that he would never truly support the reform.

Your Majesty is just stalling for time to watch and prepare for perfunctory matters.

This must have disappointed Nikolai Milyutin, but fortunately, Li Xiao, Dmitry, and Count Rostovtsev had vaccinated him more than once before.

He had already predicted Alexander II’s true tendencies, so naturally it would be difficult for him to deal a heavy blow when Alexander II suddenly revealed his true face.

Especially this time, he openly stood up for Archduke Constantine, which made him see clearly the sinister intentions of Alexander II. The czar actually planned to use Archduke Constantine to split and disintegrate the reformists in order to severely damage the reform.

This was so disgusting and made him so angry!

Based on this, he certainly cannot be as stupid and loyal as Leonid and let Alexander II slaughter him!

“I have already contacted the relevant personnel,” Nikolai Milyutin said with a sullen face, “This time we must let those who try to block the reform and try to block the train with their hands know that the reform is inevitable and no one can stop it! “

Li Xiao knew that Nikolai Milyutin was serious. In order to defeat Grand Duke Constantine and Alexander II, he personally went out to contact various big shots and did a lot of work, and put the will of a large number of powerful people into effect. They were all unanimous, and everyone believed that this battle would not only make Grand Duke Constantine unable to act like a monster again, but also let Alexander II know that reform is the general trend!

Just when outsiders thought that it was just him and Nikolay Milyutin who took action against Grand Duke Constantine, they never imagined that a large group of reformist powerful men were preparing for war, waiting for Alexander II to take action. Then he resolutely fought back and taught his majesty to recognize the reality!

Even Nikolai Milyutin met Count Rostovtsev, and the old and cunning Count also expressed his attitude that he would support them at critical moments.

Let’s put it this way, Alexander II and Grand Duke Constantine misjudged the strength of their opponents. If they thought that their opponents were only Nikolai Milyutin and Li Xiao, they would probably lose miserably!

Although the strength hidden behind the scenes is amazing, Li Xiao’s mind is very clear. He reminded: “This is a decisive battle. Although we have a certain advantage by waiting for work, we must fully estimate the enemy’s strength. It is very likely that there will be another battle.” There are other forces involved, so we must be careful of those who may disrupt the situation! For example, those neutral factions!”

Nikolai Milyutin fell silent, because he really didn’t pay much attention to the attitude of the neutralists. He only had eyes for Archduke Constantine and Alexander II, and thought that as long as he could withstand the counterattack of these two people, everything would not be a problem.

After all, the centrists have always been very restrained and do not get involved in the struggle between them and the conservatives. They just sit back and watch the fight and follow whoever wins.

Is it necessary to pay special attention to such a faction?

Li Xiao thought it was very necessary: ​​”Earl, the reason why the neutrals remain neutral is simply because they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, or they want to speculate, or more directly, they are timid. Although they seem harmless to humans and animals, you must be careful Once they think that the battle between us and the conservatives is about to be decided, they will definitely change their neutral attitude as soon as possible and go out to reap the fruits of victory!”

Nikolai Milyutin nodded. Of course he knew this, which was why he felt that the neutralists did not need to pay attention.

Li Xiao reminded: “Earl, the situation is different now. Your Majesty is about to end. For some neutral factions, this is a signal. It is difficult to say that they will not respond to His Majesty’s actions!”

Nikolai Milyutin was stunned. What he said was indeed something to be wary of. He understood those so-called neutrals. In fact, they also had conservative thinking to a certain extent. However, due to the constraints of the general environment and the fact that Alexander II was forced to relax on reforms, they hid their conservative ideas in their hearts.

Once Alexander II is personally dismissed, they may immediately change their stance and side with the Tsar!

Nikolay Milutin suddenly took a breath of cold air. UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.netｔHe indeed made an omission and underestimated the power of wallflowers. Although these people are not that powerful, at critical moments such as when the situation is tense, they It’s really troublesome to run out and cause trouble.

He immediately said: “I will contact Grand Duchess Irina immediately and ask her to do the work of these people!”

Li Xiao nodded and suggested: “It’s best to contact Duke Vorontsov. His high moral character has a greater influence on neutral people. It will be better if he comes forward to do the work!”

Nikolai Milyutin immediately agreed. Indeed, if Duke Vorontsov came forward, at least the neutral faction of the military would give him some face. In addition, Grand Duchess Irina persuaded the non-military bureaucrats that China Lipai should be able to handle it!

Immediately, he was about to contact these two people, but Li Xiao stopped him again: “Earl, don’t contact us in a hurry. In addition to the neutral faction, we have enemies that we need to pay attention to!”

Now Nikolai Milyutin was stunned. Why are there still enemies? Not that bad? Who is the one?

Li Xiao replied very seriously: “Count, we must pay special attention to Duke Alexander and Prince Mikhail. These two people are very dangerous and we must be careful!”

Nikolai Milyutin was stunned. He didn’t understand what the Gorchakov brothers had to be wary of. Prince Mikhail might have a vague attitude, but Duke Alexander was a well-known liberal and had always been He is inclined to reform and can be said to be a good partner of the reformists.

If even he has to guard against him, then who else in the officialdom is worthy of trust?

Looking at Nikolai Milyutin’s appearance, Li Xiao knew that his worst fears had come true. As expected, this man had underestimated Duke Alexander, not knowing that this was the most dangerous person who needed attention!
