Chapter 1007 Is It Too Dangerous?

Count Rostovtsev knew very well that with his status, he would definitely not be the Prime Minister, and naturally he would not be able to use the authority of the Prime Minister to forcefully promote reforms.

Although the director of the third department has great power, he is in charge of the secret police and spies across the country, and can respond to hot issues at the first time at any time. But this position is too restrictive. The most important thing is that it is easy to expose political stance.

It is currently necessary for Count Rostovtsev to maintain a relatively vague political stance. Only in this way can we have both sides, and only in this way can we penetrate into the heart of the enemy.

Once this coat is gone, he will be very passive and may even be unable to say or do anything.

Therefore, when planning to deal with Duke Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev, his fundamental purpose is not to win the third part in one fell swoop, but to weaken the enemy as much as possible and try to wedge more secrets inside the enemy. .

This time, after Duke Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev failed in their mission, he would take the initiative to try to help them clean up their mess and try to hint that Alexander II was unreliable. Finally, at the right time, he would Recommend a dark child that looks reasonable but is actually poisonous to insert.

In this way, the enemy is weakened without exposing one's own position, and one can advance and retreat calmly without any further trouble.

Dmitri suddenly interrupted and asked: "Do you have a suitable candidate for your so-called dark son?"

This issue is indeed critical. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if we put in so much effort but end up with no suitable candidate?

The reason why Dmitry asked this was very simple, because he felt that there was no such a suitable candidate, at least among the reformists, there was no such person.

Think about it, if you want to be this secret agent, you must at least be a staunch supporter of the reformists. Otherwise, you can't get a die-hard conservative to be the second or fifth agent, right?

But the problem is that Alexander II is not blind. He is now very afraid of reformists. How could he watch Count Rostovtsev insert another reformist into the third film?

And even if he is sometimes blind, he will always react afterwards. Will he doubt Count Rostovtsev's true political stance at that time?

You can't expose Count Rostovtsev's true political stance for such a big bastard, right?

Anyway, Dmitri felt that this was not worth the gain and there was no need to do this.

Count Rostovtsev replied with a smile: "Of course it is impossible for me to make such a stupid mistake. It is certainly impossible for me to send someone who supports the reform at first sight to be a spy..."

Dmitri was dumbfounded because he originally thought that this was Count Rostovtsev's mistake. After all, a wise man must make mistakes. Although Count Rostovtsev is powerful, he cannot completely avoid making mistakes, right? .

But according to Count Rostovtsev, he has already thought of this problem, and it seems that he is planning to use a conservative to act as a backbone. How is this possible? And isn’t this nonsense!

"Of course it is possible," Count Rostovtsev replied unhurriedly. "If conservatives use it, they can also play a key role. The key is how to use it and who uses it!"

Dmitry and Nikolai Milyutin looked at each other. They had no idea how to implement such a difficult operation. At least the two of them are incapable of "instigating rebellion" against a conservative element. Does Count Rostovtsev really have such power? Can conservatives be made to realize their mistakes and change their past?

"I don't have the ability to do that!" Count Rostovtsev denied such a possibility. "And it's not necessary for me. It's not worth taking such a risk!"

Dmitry and Nikolai Milyutin looked at each other again. The two brothers were increasingly confused about what kind of Western trick Count Rostovtsev was playing.

Seeing that the two brothers were getting more and more confused, Count Rostovtsev simply revealed the answer to the mystery: "What do you think of Count Shuvanov? Is he the most suitable candidate to be the undercover?"

Both Dmitry and Nikolai Milyutin are familiar with Count Shuvanov. If their memories are correct, Count Rostovtsev seems to have said that this guy is the most die-hard conservative, and quite Cunning and dangerous.

In this case, why use such a dangerous guy as such a key secret? Could it be that Count Rostovtsev is an old man who has eaten arsenic to live longer?

Count Rostovtsev was not angry in the face of the two brothers' doubts, and calmly explained: "Count Shuvanov is indeed quite dangerous, but it is precisely because he is a die-hard conservative and cunning and capable enough. This makes him more in line with the requirements of being a secret agent... After all, I can't recommend a reformist or an idiot who looks like a waste to His Majesty, right?"

"But he is too dangerous!" Nikolai Milyutin whispered.

Count Rostovtsev nodded: "It is precisely because he is dangerous that I am loyal enough to your Majesty, and your Majesty will believe that this recommendation does not contain the slightest selfishness, so he would never have thought that Count Shuvanov would be us people!"

It sounded like that, but Dmitri said: "That's true, but how can you guarantee that Count Shuvanov is willing to be your accomplice? Are you not afraid of his backhand? Betrayed to you?"

Count Rostovtsev chuckled and said: "Don't be afraid. Today I took the opportunity to give him a good beating and shock. For a while, he didn't dare to do any tricks... and he always thought that I was also a conservative. I thought my purpose was to compete with Count Uvarov, Baryatinsky and Pobedonostsev!"

Having said this, Count Rostovtsev smiled unusually happily, and Dmitri and Nikolai Milyutin could feel that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Count Rostovtsev said while laughing: "So he thought this was their internal struggle for power, and never thought that I was also a supporter of reform... Haha, this guy probably never thought of who he was helping in his entire life. work!"

Dmitry and Nikolai Milyutin really found it funny when they said this. They had to admit that Count Rostovtsev's disguise was so successful that he deceived almost everyone in the government and the public, especially Alexander II. And those die-hard conservatives were even more deceived.

If they were told that Count Rostovtsev was the boss behind the reformists and the remnants of the Decembrists they had always wanted to eradicate, I really don’t know what their expressions would be...
