Struggle in Russia - Vol 3 Chapter 905
In terms of political sense, Duke Mikhail is indeed lacking in meaning. He is still more like a soldier than a politician.
The reason why Duke Alexander and Duke of Ordorf were very interested in Li Xiao’s proposal was that they knew that once this proposal was passed, the person who would suffer the most must be Alexander II.
Why do you say that?
Think about why Alexander II did not honor Duke Mikhail? The reason is not because he is the tsar, he thinks that Duke Mikhail has a bit of merit and did not help him win. That’s why I deliberately disgusted Duke Mikhail.
And Li Xiao’s method is to use the way of others to treat others’ bodies. Don’t you disgust me? Then I’ll disgust you too, let’s see if it’s you or me who’s uncomfortable, if everyone suffers together, it’s considered a bad breath!
Just imagine, if you want to strictly review the lessons learned from the Crimean War, especially from the perspective of national strategy, the first problem that cannot be avoided is the strategic decision-making problem!
Nicholas I, who took the brunt of the decision to launch the war, could have been bullied by the union of Britain and France if it wasn’t for his misjudgment and misjudgment of the situation?
In short, to review the gains and losses, we must first criticize Nicholas I.
Hey, think about it again, what is the nature of doing this, even if it is that Nicholas I is not directly related to Alexander II, but that is his father after all, and it is the Tsar after all.
If the tsar’s decision-making can be discussed openly, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the emperor’s letter of authority!
Anyway, as long as Alexander II does not have water in his mind, he would definitely not want to see such a result.
What? If you say you don’t want to see it, then it’s fine if you don’t agree to stop it?
It’s not that simple! Nicholas I was a big mountain for all Russians who advocated freedom and yearned for reform. No one dared to say anything to him while he was alive, but he was dead after all, and before that he nearly made Russia doom.
In this way, how strong his reactionary suppression was back then is how strong the backlash against him is now. If it wasn’t for Alexander II’s early promise to reform, those with anger would have turned the sky upside down.
If someone starts shooting at Nicholas I and wants to review the gains and losses, once Alexander II strongly suppresses it, it is equivalent to pulling all the hatred of his father onto himself. It may be nothing for a while, but once he does not Immediately fulfill the promise of reform, even if the reform measures are not so satisfactory, they will become the target of attack in minutes.
Angry radical reformers will target him, or a series of extreme retaliatory measures.
That is to say, Alexander II is not tough on this issue, but if he is too tough, it will be counterproductive. Anyway, once someone formally raises this topic, Alexander II will have a big head.
Of course, given that the Tsar’s authority is still very large, Alexander II will not be prevented from coming down by this, at most he is very embarrassed. Afterwards, there will be crazy revenge to find out who is behind the scenes and cut into eight pieces.
That’s why Duke Alexander told Li Xiao not to act rashly. After all, he didn’t intend to tear his face with Alexander II. After all, he didn’t want the revolution to turn the world upside down. He just wanted to seek justice for his brother and restrict Alexander II a little, so Don’t call him like a marionette, the tsar.
Duke Alexander didn’t like the way Nicholas I treated his subjects. That feeling was really bad. It was simply the relationship between master and slave, or even between master and slave. So he would rather stay in Vienna as an ambassador than go back to St. Petersburg to be angry.
Now, Nicholas I has finally died. Although Alexander II was not as strong as his father, some things were subtle. Nicholas I ruled Russia for nearly 30 years, and many things hit him invisibly. ‘s imprint.
Even if he is dead, these imprints still exist and are still subtly affecting the people around him. This makes the post-Nicholas I era still operate according to the set of rules formulated by Nicholas I.
This made Alexander II uncomfortable, so he had to try to break the circle and reshape the rules.
However, the specific operation is still very careful. If you are not careful, you may offend Alexander II. This is not the result that Duke Alexander wants. What he wanted was to achieve his goals without being discovered by Alexander II.
“I’ll go find someone to spread some wind!”
After hearing Duke Alexander’s demands, Duke Oldolf offered to let him do it. It’s just that Duke Alexander was nervous before he promised Duke Mikhail.
He asked anxiously: “Is it too risky to do this? Once His Majesty finds out, the fun will be great… If it’s just for me, I don’t think it’s necessary at all…”
Duke Oldov and Duke Alexander looked at each other again, and it was obvious that Duke Mikhail’s “timidity” was also what they expected.
In a sense, Duke Mikhail also belonged to the bureaucrats domesticated by Nicholas I. Although he has his own ideas, he does not dare to take the initiative to fight against the existing rules in the general environment, and in most cases would rather compromise.
It’s just that this time Li Xiao’s suggestion is not just to vent his anger~www.mtlnovel.com~ The more important thing for Duke Alexander and Duke Aldorf is to break the unspoken rules and destroy the political atmosphere created by Nicholas I . https://
Only when this political atmosphere is broken can they live a more nourishing life. This is something that the Duke of Olddorf has only recently realized.
If you look at him, he can be considered to have devoted himself to the country and to serve Nicholas I and Alexander II conscientiously. As a result, the situation has just stabilized, and he can only leave St. Petersburg to become an ambassador in Paris.
Although there is an element of his active request, it is actually more distribution. Just like when the Duke of Alexander and Nesselrod didn’t urinate together, they went to Austria as ambassadors.
So he can see through the tricks of Nicholas I and Alexander II. For these two, it is only natural for the ministers to do their best. That is what the ministers should do. As tsars, they are naturally in a dominant position. It will be all right.
This makes Duke Oldolf unacceptable. Although serving the country is an obligation, but his subjects are not slaves, how can they be treated like this? If this iron rule is not broken, then the tsar will do whatever he wants in the future, and the whole country will become their plaything?
The dangers of the country becoming the Tsar’s personal plaything has been clearly demonstrated in the Crimean War, which makes Duke Oldov feel that it is necessary to change!
