Chapter 430 Stepping on 2 Boats (Part 1)

Count Uvarov hesitated. He naturally knew that Baryatinsky must be relying on something to instigate trouble at this time, and a hasty response may bring unexpected risks.

If we follow the old Adlerberg's advice and endure it for the time being, although we will lose some face or interests and have a negative impact on our reputation, the fundamentals will not be damaged. After this storm, we can slowly repair Bariagins. It would be great if Ji regains his place.

But when he thought that he had been bullied and bullied, and even a junior like Baryatinsky didn't take him seriously, Count Uvarov couldn't swallow this feeling.

If you hang up the fight-free card, you won't suffer much loss, but it is very likely to make the group of brats below even more tempted.

And once this person has unnecessary thoughts and ambitions, it will be difficult to suppress them.

Count Uvarov knew that if he shrunk his eggs to avoid the battle this time, then the little devils below would definitely jump up one by one, and then there would be chaos below.

How much damage will this chaos cause?

Count Uvarov knew how great the losses would be if the conservative forces were strong. After all, there are too many people in their faction. In the past, he was able to suppress the brats below and limit their ambitions within reasonable limits.

But once he loses control of the situation, this group of people will definitely be in chaos. How will he clean up the mess then?

It's even possible that the battleship he built after decades of hard work would collapse!

Count Uvarov couldn't accept this result at all, and he couldn't stop the kid below from restraining himself.

The only thing he can do is to go all out when faced with provocation, knock back Baryatinsky and others in one fell swoop, and deal with them to achieve the purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, so as to avoid the kind of situation where the gourd floats when the gourd is pressed. A painful situation.

So after pondering for a moment, he categorically said to old Adlerberg: "No! Baryatinsky has ulterior motives this time. He is trying to cause big trouble! If I don't deal with him, how can I continue to preside over the overall situation in the future! Deal with it! They! And we must deal with them severely to serve as a warning to others!"

Old Adlerberg felt a bit achy and bitter when he saw the murderous Count Uvarov. It was not that he had never seen Count Uvarov get angry. He thought that the count's decisive and ruthless killing methods made him brave. Trembling.

Is it difficult to say that he is going to do that again?

To tell the truth,

Old Adlerberg didn't like Count Uvarov's killing of chickens to scare the monkeys at all, because Baryatinsky was too big a monkey. How could he be a monkey? Just like an African gorilla!

With such a strong orangutan, and there are a large group of equally strong little orangutans waving and shouting around him, is this really something that the old Lion King, who already looks old and frail, can deal with?

Old Adlerberg was a little shaken, but he soon came to his senses. If he didn't follow Count Uvarov, then it would definitely not be possible to sit on the sidelines based on his situation. Because if Count Uvarov wins in the end, then he, the traitor, will be the first to be taught a lesson.

On the other hand, if Baryatinsky wins, and people's relationship with him is average, they will definitely not think of the benefits of his remaining neutral.

At that time, wouldn’t he have become a rat in the bellows and would not please both ends?

As soon as he thought of this, old Adlerberg immediately raised his mind and said decisively: "Well, since you have decided, Earl, I will fully cooperate with you!"

Count Uvarov was actually observing the attitude of old Adlerberg. He knew very well what kind of nature the father and son had. They were really better than human beings. Moreover, the father and son have always been good at pushing the envelope and not doing the actual work. If these two guys have the slightest hesitation or ambiguity, then Count Uvarov will never trust them again, and may even deal with Baryatinsky. Immediately deal with the father and son.

However, Old Adlerberg's attitude still satisfied Count Uvarov. He immediately agreed to fully cooperate without any hesitation, which was good. Although Count Uvarov still doesn't completely believe his words, at least he won't prepare any plans to deal with them.

"Very good!" Count Uvarov nodded with satisfaction and said, "You should immediately contact the people who are close and reliable to us and tell them to be ready and wait for my instructions!"

Count Uvarov did not directly say what he planned to do, and Old Adlerberg did not ask, as if both colleagues had forgotten about it.

But in fact, these two old foxes are also testing each other. As mentioned before, although old Adlerberg's attitude was very good, Count Uvarov did not completely trust him. Naturally, he couldn't tell everything about his plan. What if the old fox got the plan out of him and then sold it to Baryatinsky?

This has to be guarded against!

As for old Adlerberg, he actually really wanted to know Count Uvarov's plan. Once he knew it, he would feel confident. If Count Uvarov's plan was feasible, he would naturally follow it. But if the plan is not feasible or the risk is too great, then he will think more carefully, and maybe he will actually turn around and sell it to Baryatinsky.

He actually wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, he immediately realized that this was Count Uvarov's test, so he played it out and quickly stopped asking.

Does that mean that if old Adlerberg doesn’t ask, Count Uvarov will tell him?

The answer is no!

An old fox like Count Uvarov actually trusts no one but himself. Therefore, it was impossible for him to tell old Adlerberg the plan, so he was also acting, but his acting skills were better, which meant that he was pretending to be real.

Anyway, just one look dissuaded old Adlerberg from asking clearly. I have to admit that this mountain is even higher!

However, old Adlerberg was not a novice and could be fooled casually. After bidding farewell to Count Uvarov, he immediately rushed home and called little Adlerberg, telling him carefully what had happened. After reading it once, he said:

"Be diligent these days, go to the Crown Prince more often, and preferably strike up a conversation with Duke Baryatinsky and his gang. Whether you try to make a conversation or show your kindness tactfully, this is a good opportunity. Do you understand? ?”

What is there not to understand about this! At first glance, the old Adlerberg wanted to step into two boats. Seeing what he meant, he followed Count Uvarov, while the younger Adlerberg showed his favor to Baryatinsky, no matter what happened in the end. Whoever wins, both father and son will not lose everything!
