Chapter 207 Explanation (Part 1)

Li Xiao's judgment came so suddenly, it really stunned Kornilov, Nasimov and Muraviyov, because just now they were still discussing how to continue acting to delay the time, how could it be a showdown in the blink of an eye!

"Is this Peter Shuvanov really in such trouble?"

Muravyov asked this question not to question Li Xiao's judgment, but rather to disbelieve that there are still such difficult young people among conservatives. After all, this guy is only three years older than Li Xiao, how powerful is he at the age of 25?

Li Xiao replied in an unquestionable tone: "It's quite troublesome, even more troublesome than any old-fashioned person you have ever met! This person is cunning, insidious, and despicable. There is no limit to what he can do by any means!"

This kind of comment focused on one person, even Muraviev was surprised. If he hadn't seen Li Xiao's serious expression, he would probably have thought the other party was joking.

He repeated, dumbfounded: "It's such a hassle!"

Li Xiao nodded and said: "It's very troublesome! The only person who can see through our plan this time is him. It was because Baron Titov visited him before that I had to change my strategy and choose to procrastinate. Looking at it now , He really has seen through it!"

Those present all knew that Li Xiao's original plan was not like this, that plan was more direct and radical, but then someone changed his mind suddenly, which surprised them, and now they know the real reason for someone's change of mind what is the reason.

Nasimov interjected: "My friend in Kiev also told me about Count Shuvalov's deeds. This man is indeed very smart, with accurate judgment and decisive actions, very powerful!"

When Nasimov said this, his tone was very regretful. Obviously he felt that it was a waste that a smart young man like Shuvalov turned out to be a hardcore supporter of the conservatives. If young people like him can directly reform, is Russia still worried about being rich and powerful?

If Li Xiao heard Nasimov's heartfelt thoughts, he would probably scoff at him, because he knew very well that Shuvalov's intelligence must be put in quotation marks. Fundamentally speaking, this person's cleverness is petty cleverness, and all his wisdom is used in the officialdom, and he is quite good at how to observe words, how to rule out dissidents, and how to seek personal gain.

However, if you let him do serious things, such as making the country prosperous and strong, and striving for international interests for the country, he is not so good at these serious things. If you look at his later performance, the diplomacy was not to say that it was a mess, at least it was unsatisfactory.

To put it bluntly, he is an insider fighting insider and outsider fighting outsider, only clever but not great wisdom, what's more important is that he is also very conservative and only knows what to do.

Hearing that Nasimov also echoed Li Xiao's statement, Muraviyov was also nervous, and he asked, "Then what shall we do next?"

Li Xiao resolutely said: "First of all, Berge must be separated from him. Without Berge's authority, he is just a deputy director of the third department in Kiev, and it is impossible to intervene in the affairs of the Black Sea Fleet, so even if he wants to If you want bad things, you can only hit the sidelines!"

After a short pause, Li Xiao seemed to be hesitant, but in the end he said: "Also, we have to do Berge's work, and see if we can win over this guy!"

This time, not only Muraviyov was dumbfounded, but Kornilov and Nasimov were also dumbfounded. The reason is simple, they don't understand why they want to fight for Berge.

Especially Kornilov, he is strongly opposed to doing this, the reason is very simple, that is, Berge has done too many bad things in the past two years, which made the Black Sea Fleet, which was originally thriving in Lazarev's hands, stagnate. Moreover, this guy continued to use the power in his hands to amass money, enriching his own pockets and affecting the development of the Black Sea Fleet.

Anyway, Kornilov felt that if he didn't give this guy a proper punishment and ruthlessly kill this evil spirit, the evil spirit in his heart would not be clean.

So he objected without hesitation: "You must not let the tiger go back to the mountain. Berge has done so many bad things, how can he let it go lightly! You must kill others and use his example to tell others that you must never mess around in the Black Sea Fleet. !"

And these words of his were immediately recognized by Nasimov, who also felt the same way, and wished he could cut Berge into eight pieces as a warning to others. But Muraviyov didn't speak, the old man looked thoughtful, as if he had thought of something.

Li Xiao looked at the emotional Kornilov and Nasimov and sighed in his heart. From an emotional point of view, he understands and supports the opinions of these two. It is true that a bastard like Berge is not punished severely. Civilian outrage. But politics has never been about emotions. Politics only talks about results, and emotions often have no good results in politics.

So he explained patiently: "I understand the feelings of the two of you very much, and I also hope to punish the bastard Berge severely, but what is the purpose of our severely punishing him? If I understand correctly, the two also hope to maintain the Black Sea by severely punishing him. The normal operation of the fleet prevents latecomers from doing anything wrong, that is to say, we still want to protect the interests of the fleet, right?"

Kornilov and Nasimov nodded at the same time, although their faces were sullen. They really had this purpose.

Li Xiao also nodded, and continued: "The reason why I said that I hope to win Berge is actually to protect the interests of the fleet and to curb the conspiracy of the conservatives!"

Kornilov and Nasimov didn't understand immediately, but they didn't object immediately as before, but listened patiently to Li Xiao's explanation.

"The current situation is obvious. Shuvalov and Berkh must have realized that there is not much time left for them, so for them, there are two things that must be the most important right now. The first is Berkh. He wiped his ass, and the second is to try to lay mines for us!"

Li Xiao glanced at Kornilov and Nasimov, saw that the two agreed with his analysis, and then continued to analyze: "And these two things are for us, for Berkh and Shu For Valov, the importance is completely different! For us, the most important thing to pay attention to now is their mine-laying behavior, because it is related to the future. If we want the fleet to develop better, we must not allow them Playing around!"

Kornilov and Nasimov also agreed with this analysis, but they still didn't understand what it had to do with releasing Berkh. Li Xiao could only continue to explain patiently: "Of course it has something to do with Berkh." , because for him, the urgency of these two matters is completely different!"
