Chapter 730 Dialogue Between Old Friends (Part 1)

Facts have proved that Nesselrode's worries are very reasonable, because when he went to Menshikov to contact him, Duke Ordorf went directly to Crown Prince Alexander.

The two things don't seem to have much to do with each other?

In fact, it has a lot to do with it!

Because Menshikov also had to worship on the side of Crown Prince Alexander, and because of his inability to protect the master before, Menshikov was severely dissed by Crown Prince Alexander. Even if Nesselrode persuaded Menshikov this time, as long as Crown Prince Alexander firmly disagreed, Menshikov really dared not defy the will of Crown Prince Alexander.

Sure enough, Menshikov, who had a good conversation with Nesselrode at the beginning, changed his mind after one night. He sent his secretary to send Nesselrode a personal letter and returned the check after apologizing.

Holding the check for 100,000 rubles, Nesselrode had mixed feelings in his heart. When was the time when Nesselrode could not even send the money? Thinking about what he was going to do back then, that was In one sentence, they even asked the other party for money. But now it's impossible to send money. Is he really old?

"How about we find Chernyshov again, it is said that he has a good relationship with Menshikov, and ask him to help talk?"

Nesselrode directly shook his head and said, "There's no need to look for Chernyshov, and there's no need to look for Menshikov anymore. It's useless to look for anyone! Our opponent this time is not so powerful!"

Nesselrode took a deep breath. Although he was old, his mind was not confused. Menshikov agreed very happily at the beginning, and it was obvious that someone taught him behind the scenes. There are not many people in Russia who can teach Menshikov a lesson, and there are only two people on their fingers—either Nicholas I or Crown Prince Alexander, and even Grand Duke Constantine does not have this qualification.

Obviously, it was not Nicholas I who made the move, otherwise Menshikov would not have refused such a simple activity, and they would not have such an easy activity, so the one who made the move was Crown Prince Alexander!

As for why Crown Prince Alexander objected, this really made Nesselrode a little puzzled. Because he asked himself that his relationship with the Crown Prince was not too bad, neither particularly good nor particularly bad, and he had never offended the Crown Prince, so why would the Crown Prince want to ruin his affairs this time?

What Nesselrode is most worried about is that Crown Prince Alexander is on the side that opposes his foreign policy, so he can only be caught blind.

"How about we visit the crown prince?"

Regarding Schwarzenberg's proposal, Nesselrode was really speechless. What's the use of looking for Crown Prince Alexander at this time?

Is it possible that you can still persuade him with money? The most important thing now is to find out the reason why Crown Prince Alexander objected, instead of sending money indiscriminately, you really think you are being taken advantage of!

"Go and ask who the Crown Prince has been close to recently, and what opinions he has expressed recently!"

At this time, Nesselrode really realized the importance of the information. If the Duke of Ordorf could stand by his side, he would only need to say a word to know what kind of madness Crown Prince Alexander is, and why he is in such a mess right now. Ask for news.

So how was Crown Prince Alexander persuaded by Duke Aldorf? In fact, it's not that difficult. The Duke of Aldorf just told him three things. The first thing is that Schwarzenberg and Nesselrode are moving around to seek support, and they don't hesitate to spend a lot of money for it, especially He focused on the fact that Timenshkov had received a check for one hundred thousand rubles.

Secondly, Duke Aldorf mentioned the chaotic situation in Austria and the huge benefits these chaotic situations brought to Russia. He suggested that Crown Prince Alexander had better not express his attitude immediately, and it was better to be vague with the Austrians. Now is the best time for the Austrians to frantically seek support from Russia, and the asking price should be raised appropriately in order to extract more benefits.

In the end, the Duke of Ordorf also mentioned Nicholas I's negative view of Schwarzenberg, thinking that the new Austrian prime minister lacked the courage to make a fortune.

Of course, the Duke of Aldorf was pointing to the end. He did not say that Nicholas I hated Schwarzenberg, nor did he say that Nicholas I had changed his views on Austria and was not going to continue to support and support Austria.

Duke Aldorf's words were very skillful. It is completely point-to-point, which not only serves as a hint, but also prevents black and white from being dissed afterwards.

Anyway, Duke Alexander fully understood the intention of Duke Aldorf. He thought that the Duke was implying that he should rip off Austria, and that Nicholas I also had a positive attitude towards this. So he decided to raise the asking price, and followed his courtiers to slaughter Austria.

It has to be said that the Duke of Aldorf was too clever. He unknowingly distorted the truth of the situation and successfully misled Duke Alexander. Even if Nicholas I made his attitude clear afterwards, he would not be regarded as It is deliberately misleading, and it is really invincible.

Even Count Rostovtsev praised Duke Ordorf for his high level: "Ordorf is the smartest among these people, and if nothing happens, he will last forever!"

Such an evaluation is very high, because not everyone in Count Rostovtsev has such an evaluation. For example, Menshikov, the count thinks that he will quit as soon as Nicholas I is gone, and Peter Volkonsky, the count directly thinks that he is an old fool, if his family background is too deep and prominent It would never be where it is today.

"You just watched the Austrians move?"

Faced with old Igor's complaints, Count Rostovtsev just smiled slightly: "Otherwise?"

Old Igor said unhappily: "You have to help a little bit, even if it's pouring some dick soup for that old idiot Nicholas!"

"There is no need for that!" Count Rostovtsev replied very calmly, "Because even if I say it, Nicholas may not listen to it!"

Old Igor suddenly sneered: "Emotions are not omnipotent, you can't control everything!"

Earl Rostovtsev didn't care about old Igor's ridicule, and he replied calmly: "I never said that I am omnipotent, and I don't think anyone in this world is omnipotent. As for manipulating Everything? Did I say I could control everything or Nikolai?"

Old Igor curled his lips and said, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I just want to tell you, don't let my little master do useless work. If the Austrians succeed at this time, then everything will be useless!"
