Chapter 605 See You Again

After Grand Duke Constantine made the most basic judgment, he was naturally not so angry, but he was still a little unwilling, because he felt that he had never been free to do what he wanted to do.

No matter what he does, there are always a lot of people and things that interfere with him and prevent him from performing at all. Just like now, it is clear that he is the Governor of Moldavia and the one who should govern this country, but he can't do what he wants to do. A bunch of outsiders are either messing with him or taking away the leadership that originally belongs to him. , making him look like a puppet, no different from a decoration.

He very much suspected that this was because some people or forces saw that he was easy to bully, and were ready to intervene forcefully in Moldavia's affairs, and to take away the power that originally belonged to him little by little. Thanks to his father's education for so many years, he was very good at maintaining power. But very enthusiastic.

Anyway, now he is worried that his authority will be taken away and he will eventually be reduced to a human mascot.

He asked: "Even if we must maintain the current general policy, there is nothing wrong with adjusting the details, right?"

Viscount Prozolov sighed inwardly. How could he not know what the Grand Duke wanted to do? To put it bluntly, he was unwilling to be manipulated and listened to Duke Mikhail, Dmitry and the Duke. He always wanted to highlight his presence and outshine these people to prove his ability.

But in Viscount Prozolov's opinion, this was really stupid. A leader does not need to be outstanding in all aspects of quality, nor does he need to be ranked first in all aspects of ability.

What is leadership? It is leadership to know people and make good use of them. It is also leadership to grasp the direction of major political affairs and not deviate from the course to find the right path.

However, Grand Duke Constantine was very careless and mediocre in these two aspects. He also wanted to demonstrate the authority of leadership at all times and hoped that he would be the best and most powerful person.

Isn't this convulsions?

The correct way to lead is to leave the right things to the right people and grasp the overall situation. This is like a commander-in-chief and a general who plans strategies. You don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy and make the enemy run away to be called a famous general.

Archduke Constantine is at the very end of this trap. He is so obsessed with proving that he is better than others, that he is the most correct and powerful, but in fact he is on the road to death and will never look back.

At least Viscount Prozolov couldn't watch him commit suicide, let alone watch him mess up the situation that had finally turned around again, so he answered directly:

"Your Highness, although I agree with your opinion that the affairs of Moldavia should indeed be decided by you, I have to remind you that you are very weak now and must rely on Duke Mikhail, General Dmitry and Slovakia. Only with Count Perlansky’s support can we stabilize our position.”

"What you need most now is to maintain a good cooperative relationship with them. I think His Excellency Nikolay Milyutin's warning is definitely not groundless. It must be them saying hello and warning you not to get into trouble, otherwise the good cooperation before will be immediately Stop it!"

"In view of the current passive situation, I suggest you be patient for the time being, hide your strength and bide your time to accumulate power, and wait for the situation to completely improve before taking action."

Grand Duke Constantine immediately showed a disappointed look. He originally thought that Viscount Prozolov would support him and give him advice on how to regain the lost power. But now it seems that this is completely impossible!

He still asked without giving up: "I don't want to make a big move. I can do it subtly or in small pieces..."

Viscount Prozolov quickly dissuaded you: "Your Highness, I advise you to be careful! This warning comes so suddenly, which means that people have been watching you, just to guard against you. Once you make a move, they will react immediately. It will be too late to regret it!"

Grand Duke Constantine slumped on the sofa like a deflated rubber ball and muttered: "What kind of nonsense is this? As a governor, he has no power and can't decide anything. This Shirauzi Governor If there’s any point in doing so, why not go back to the Navy and work as an assistant..."

Viscount Prozolov ignored him because he just complained casually. If you really suggested that he return to St. Petersburg and sit on the bench at the Admiralty, do you think he would reject it immediately?

He is such a person that he doesn't know how to be content at all. He is obviously taking advantage of the current situation, and he is still trying every possible means to behave well.

Sometimes Viscount Prozolov looks down on him, thinking that he is really outrageous. He talks a lot, but he often has high ambitions and low intentions. Once he actually does something, he either ignores the benefits or loses the big because of the small. In short, there are all kinds of things. Weird tricks and messing around.

After bidding farewell to Grand Duke Constantine, Viscount Prozolov returned to his apartment in Chisinau. This was a large house given to him by a certain Moldavia nobleman. At that time, the two parties were involved in the theft and sale of grain. He made a lot of money through hoarding, and in order to win over him, Grand Duke Constantine's number one henchman, that man spent a lot of money to give him this house.

However, only a few months later, everything has changed. The former good friend is now the leader of the rebel party and is wanted nationwide. All his properties in Chisinau have been confiscated.

According to someone's new policy, all the property outside Chisinau was also confiscated. However, nearly 60% of the country's cities and rural areas are still under the control of the rebels. Grand Duke Constantine is unable to Just go and confiscate that person's property.

However, Viscount Prozolov believed that it was just a matter of time. He was very covetous of the large acres in the countryside. Even if most of them had to be given to those mud-legged people, he could still more or less take a bite. Small pieces, and that small piece was enough to fill his mouth with oil.

"Petrovna is waiting for you in the drawing room."

As soon as Viscount Prozolov walked into the house, the housekeeper told him that he had a visitor, and he was a visitor who was not easy to get in touch with.

Since their departure from Kiev, Viscount Prozolov has had some contact with Petrovna, but it is not very close, and they feel like they are different bedfellows.

The main reason is that as Grand Duke Constantine lost completely in Kiev and Ukraine, his influence and interests there have greatly declined, and the value of a certain socialite has naturally been greatly reduced.

Viscount Prozolov was always too lazy to pay attention to people who were of no use value, so he yawned and asked, "Did this lady tell me what to do with me?"

The housekeeper answered honestly: "No, but she refused to leave!"
