Struggle in Russia

Alexei was a little discouraged, while Shuvanov, Petukhov and Pugachev were watching him on the other side. It's just that the ideas of the two groups are quite different.

Shuvanov was carefully observing and analyzing all of Alexei's emotional manifestations. Generally speaking, he was observing what kind of person Alexei was, what weaknesses and flaws he had, and how he could eliminate them in one fell swoop if necessary.

That's right, he's doing what he does. Generally speaking, Alexei is regarded as the object that must be eliminated, that is, his goal.

He didn't regard Alexei as a superior in his heart, even though Nicholas I and the Duke of Ordorf gave him this instruction. But he selectively paid more attention to the latter observation and the slight hint.

All in all, Shuvanov didn't think very highly of Alexei, and felt that Alexei was too fragile. Although he didn't know what Alexei and Fontana whispered, but from Alexei to him quietly I glanced here a few times, and immediately my expression changed drastically.

He felt that the earl might have sensed his purpose. And this made him despise the young earl even more. First of all, he had to be reminded by a woman to realize his purpose of coming. This is simply too naive, a naive child.

Secondly, even if you know it, and you only know it after being reminded, you must have a little bit of self-cultivation and calm willpower. How can you be so happy and angry!

Such a thing is not worthy of being mixed in the political arena at all, forcibly mixed in is the life of delivering food!

Anyway, Shuvanov thought that Alexei was nothing more than that, he was just a well-born dude. Thinking about his mission again, he felt that the assassination case was likely to be problematic, so the superior ordered him to be a scavenger!

If Alexei knew that Shuvanov had these views because of his little sense of loss, Alexei would definitely regret it, because maybe Shuvanov’s analysis was right, but the assassination case was really not so What happened!

It's just that it doesn't help. Who made Alexei himself imprudent and childish. Childishness has to pay the price!

On the other hand, Petukhov's first impression of Alexei was not particularly good. Like Shuvanov, he is not blind in his moves. He can see and think as much as Shuvanov can see and think.

Especially after comparing the Earl who Jane was in the heart of the emperor with another grand duke who was not liked by the emperor, he also felt that Alexei was too far behind Li Xiao. Although he didn't know what Li Xiao did during his trip to Bucharest.

But after listening to Pugachev's brief account of the meeting,

He felt that Li Xiao was not easy. It's so good that it doesn't rely on any official relationship, and it's even good to prevent the official people from making trouble and hindering it. But Alexei, who has the support of official power, is so naive, and even engaged in such a big brother's basket of an assassination case. It's like a sky and an underground, okay!

If Li Xiao hadn't said that he and Alexei were good friends, he would have despised Alexei from the bottom of his heart. In fact, he had already secretly despised him in his heart!

Petukhov was secretly a little anxious and worried about Alexei. Anxious that he might not be the opponent of Shuvanov, the insidious poisonous snake, and afraid that he would be plotted against. I'm even more worried that such a naive earl will drag them down and act as a drag, will it hurt them!

Poor Alexei, it's really a bit bitter to be looked down upon by the United after just meeting heads. However, for the time being, he doesn't have much thought about whether it is hard or not, because there is a serious business to meet this time.

"Gentlemen, the situation in Wallachia is already very clear... The puppet regime will be destroyed sooner or later, and everything will return to normal... This is a good thing, but our task is not only to restore order, but also to punish those traitors! They must not be allowed to get away with it!"

With manpower, Alexei naturally wants to do something big. If he can cut off some of the culprits before the arrival of the regular army, it will be both a warning and a demonstration, and it will greatly deter those who are half-hearted about Russia. They didn't dare to have presumptuous thoughts any more.

Shuvanov didn't feel much about this, because he often did similar jobs. When he was in the country, he was responsible for cleaning up those rebels who were not loyal to the tsar. There are also assassinations in Poland, Finland and other places to eliminate those dissidents.

After this trip, he also wanted to do something, let the big bosses in the country see his skills again, and make some preparations for promotion.

So Shuvanov agreed without hesitation, but Petukhov is different. He is not interested in doing big things. His only wish is to return to China safely. Heart home is king.

Moreover, although he has a large number of people, he is better at direct combat and not good at assassination. So he was not interested in Alexei's proposal.

It's just that he can't say clearly that I disagree, so he can only object in a very subtle way: "I'm not familiar with the place, so it's too hasty to take action rashly?"

Alexei frowned slightly. He thought Shuvanov would be the objector, but the situation turned out to be completely opposite. Why is this Cossack colonel so timid? Why did the country send him here?

A soy sauce party like Petukhov who was forced to go to Liangshan naturally has a very complicated mind. It is normal for Alexei to be unable to figure it out, and there is no need for him to guess, because he has decided on this matter.

"Colonel, you don't need to worry. I have natives from Wallachia to cooperate with me, and I will lead your people to familiarize themselves with the surrounding situation in the near future. I won't act rashly!"

Petukhov was a little speechless, he was not worried about these things, he just didn't want to be cannon fodder. It’s just that Alexi’s meaning is that he has made up his mind, and he can’t object, so he can only object tactfully again:

"This is naturally good, but my people are better at frontal combat. They are good at fighting with swords and guns. They are not good at assassination and destruction, so my people are more suitable for professionals like Colonel Shuvanov... If it’s too difficult, it’s very likely that something bad will happen!”

When Alexei heard it, he felt even more weird, and couldn't help but look at Petukhov again. The Cossacks he knew were not so cowardly, okay? If you want to cooperate, this is too much, right?

Immediately, his impression of Petukhov was even worse. If it wasn't for the cultivation of the nobleman to keep him polite, he really wanted to piss off Petukhov...
