Struggle in Russia

"You have disappointed me so much," said Count Rostovtsev, shaking his head. "Don't you have any ambitions at all? Are you willing to be subdued and suppressed by Bariatinsky for the rest of your life?"

Dmitry admitted that Count Rostovtsev's aggressive method was still useful, but he didn't swell up like a puffer fish when he was angry. He's not a child anymore, how could he be so determined to do something he knows he can't do?

"No!" Count Rostovtsev was very disapproving of Dmitry's justification, and he said proudly: "This is not something that cannot be done, and it may not be the most correct choice for Bariatinsky to go for gold plating. !"

Dmitry was stunned, because although Caucasus is not considered a fat job, it is definitely not short of opportunities to be rewarded for meritorious service, not to mention that Bariatinsky is still familiar with that side, and there are a lot of opportunities.

With his ability and Crown Prince Alexander's love and trust in him, Dmitry is sure that the door of the Ministry of War will be opened for him in less than three years. At least a deputy minister of war will not be able to escape!

"Really?" Count Rostovtsev smiled and said, "What you said is very reasonable. According to the usual process, Bariatinsky really has great hopes! But..."

Dmitry pricked up his ears, he wanted to hear what Count Rostovtsev had to say, and the latter said slowly:

"But it's not a regular situation now. Nesselrode is out on the Bulgarian issue. With Menshkov's personality, do you think he can stop His Majesty?"

Dmitry was taken aback for a moment, and then said melancholy: "Menshikov can't stop His Majesty, without Nesselrode's restraint, he will do everything according to His Majesty's intentions, I'm afraid war will be very difficult. avoided!"

Count Rostovtsev patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, it is almost certain that after the new year, once the weather improves, the war will break out in June at most. It will be an unprecedentedly fierce battle. It's an opportunity to build merit, and Bariatinsky is out early, don't you think your chance is great?"

Dmitry was stunned. He knew that Count Rostovtsev would never lie to him. Since he was sure that a war would break out, a big battle was absolutely inevitable!

Then he immediately became excited again. No one is unwilling to make meritorious deeds, especially a military family like him. He asked excitedly, "Can you let me command this war?"

Count Rostovtsev rolled his eyes and said to him angrily: "My friend, do you misunderstand me, or are you so arrogant that you think you are the number one Russian soldier?" One?"

Dmitry blushed in embarrassment, and Count Rostovtsev continued: "Not only are you not qualified enough, but you also don't have any past achievements, even if Bariatinsky is going to be the commander-in-chief is more likely than you, so don't think too much about it, it's impossible!"

Dmitry asked in embarrassment: "Then you just said..."

Count Rostovtsev naturally knew what he meant, and interrupted directly: "I mean that war is inevitable, and there are many opportunities to make contributions, at least many more opportunities than being the governor of the Caucasus! You are in command!"

Well, although Dmitry is still a bit slanderous, he must admit that Count Rostovtsev did not say that, but that meaning is easily misunderstood, okay? Xiru tianlaixsw.com Xiru

Count Rostovtsev laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Even if I misled you, but your guess is not completely wrong, I do intend to let you command this war , but not as commander-in-chief,

It's part of it! "

Dmitry listened very carefully. He knew that Count Rostovtsev would never joke with him. Since he said that he could join the battle and be gilded, he would definitely be able to do it, but he was more concerned about the so-called Part of what's going on!

Count Rostovtsev explained calmly: "If there is no accident, the commander-in-chief of this war must still be Paskovich. Your Majesty only believes in that old Qiuba. As long as he is alive, he will always be the first choice!"

This news made Dmitry a little frustrated, because Paskovich has really aged a lot in the past two years. In the eyes of young people like them, that guy really can only live for the rest of his life, but here is Nicholas I. And let him be in charge, isn't this a clear distrust of these "young people"?

"Don't be too depressed, there is no way, but even if Paskovic can be in charge, it is unrealistic to expect him to really perform the duties of the coach and direct the battle, his body can't bear it! "

Dmitry asked curiously, "So?"

Count Rostovtsev grinned, and replied a little cruelly: "So the one who is really in charge of commanding the battle should be Duke Mikhail, and he may command the battle as the chief of the general staff!"

Dmitry almost didn't get dizzy, this gasp made him think he had hope! It turned out that Duke Mikhail was in charge of directing the battle, but after thinking about it calmly, he had to admit that this arrangement was reasonable.

From all aspects, it is the safest way to let Paskovich be in command as a spiritual totem, and let Duke Mikhail be in charge of the actual command. After all, these two have been the mainstay of the Russian army for more than ten years. The victory was arranged by these two. Compared with these two, neither he nor Bariatinsky has convincing records.

"Very good," Count Rostovtsev said with a smile when he saw that Dmitry had calmed down, "So you don't even have to think about the command. It's not your turn, except for that." , In fact, there are not so many really outstanding positions. At sea, it is Kornilov and Nasimov's business. On land, I guess the focus of all aspects is Bulgaria. I guess many people want to grab the positions there. Right!"

Dmitry nodded. This is indeed not a secret among the army. After all, in the eyes of everyone, the liberation of Bulgaria is a matter of hand. Mi He Mi

But Count Rostovtsev shook his head and said: "But I don't recommend you to go to Bulgaria, my friend, listen to me, there will be no merits there, only bloodshed, and this war will probably surpass you." It will never be smooth sailing!"

He said earnestly: "I suggest you go to Wallachia, where is your chance to make contributions!"
