Struggle in Russia

Chapter 495 Confused Dmitry

Dmitry Milyutin was a little embarrassed. Countess Antonina Bogdanova had a ghostly political idea. Although the countess followed suit and called Pan-Slavism twice, this vase might not even The Eastern Slavs and the Yugoslavs are not clear.

Naturally, it was impossible for Nesselrode to discuss any political views with such a half-assed person. Discussing how to drive is the real thing.

Of course, this is nothing in the aristocratic circle. It would be strange if beautiful female aristocrats don't have a few "boyfriends" or male licking dogs.

It's just that Nesselrode is more than six years old, enough to be the grandfather of Countess Antonina Bogdanova, this guy is still old-hearted, he is really a pure man!

Although Dmitry could hear Count Rostovtsev's teasing, he was also a little strange. According to the count, this was to make Countess Antonina Bogdanova treat Nesselro The question is, is this possible?

Dmitry knew Nesselrode very well. The reason why this man became prime minister was two-handed. He was by no means the kind of brother pig who couldn't walk around when he saw a beautiful woman and didn't know his last name. Even if Countess Antonina Bogdanova is beautiful and charming, it is impossible for Nesselrode to give up her principles.

The wind isn't too good, is it?

This was what Dmitry really thought, so he mentioned it to Count Rostovtsev, trying to dispel the count's unrealistic ideas.

"Pillow wind or beauty trap?"

Count Rostovtsev burst out laughing for a long time before saying, "My friend, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that at all! It is impossible to rely on beautiful women to seduce Nesselrode to make mistakes. That old fox is very stubborn and scheming, it is impossible for him to be fooled!"

Dmitry was confused, and asked inexplicably: "Then you asked me to contact..."

Count Rostovtsev said with a smile: "I didn't intend to let Countess Antonina Bogdanova influence Nesselrode. Someone who would make that old fox suspicious tell him a suggestion!"

Dmitry was even more puzzled. He could understand the first half of Count Rostovtsev's words. Countess Antonina Bogdanova did have a simple background. Although there were many men behind her, The courtesan doesn't belong to any particular faction, whether it's reformist, conservative, or whatever, this beauty is open to anyone who offers her shelter or money.

So her background is still very simple, and it can be seen clearly at a glance that this is just a money worshiper. But Dmitry didn't understand in the second half, why did Countess Antonina Bogdanova give Nesselrode a suggestion, and what was the other suggestion? Nesselrode will definitely listen to this last suggestion?

Count Rostovtsev smiled mysteriously, and said inscrutably: "Of course that old fox will listen, because at this moment he is having a headache about how to adjust his policies, and the advice I give him will be very suitable for him." Taste, he'll take it with pleasure!"

Dmitry was even more surprised. He really couldn't think of any suggestion that Nesselrode could readily accept. In addition, he was shocked that Count Rostovtsev could correctly grasp Nesselrode's mentality. Mind reading again?

Of course, Dmitry also knew the count's bad intentions, and he didn't intend to reveal the mystery right away, so he simply bypassed this link and asked directly: "Then what do you need me to do?"

Count Rostovtsev was very satisfied with Dmitry's attitude. Both the old Igor and Nikolai Milyutin were curious babies, and many things had to be asked clearly. Unlike Dmitry, he had a soldier Unique directness, he likes this kind of direct people.

"Your role is very important, I need you to tell Countess Antonina Bogdanova my suggestion on a suitable occasion, but you can't deliberately, everything must be unintentional, but you must ensure that the The Countess was impressed by this suggestion.

"

"Of course, if you can't find such an opportunity, I will arrange it and make everything seamless. Then all we need to do is wait, and I believe that old pervert Nesselrode will receive this message soon." suggested!"

Dmitry roughly understood Count Rostovtsev's idea. If it could be realized, it would be really ingenious. It is estimated that Nesselrode would not even understand that he had fallen into the pit even if he wanted to break his head. This made him more interested in that suggestion. What kind of suggestion could make Count Rostovtsev act so cautiously?

Count Rostovtsev did not continue the subject, but asked: "My friend, what do you think of the recent wars? Like the ones between Paskovich and Prince Mikhail Gorchakov. fiasco?"

Dmitry pouted in his heart, sighed and replied: "Prince Paskovich has nothing to say. It should be due to lack of preparation and underestimation of the fighting power of the Hungarian rebels. As for Duke Mikhail, His defeat was also due to pride and underestimation of the enemy, but there are many aspects of the Wallachia war that I can't understand!"

Count Rostovtsev asked calmly: "Oh? Where are they?"

When talking about the military topic, Dmitry immediately forgot about the advice and the countess, and said enthusiastically: "There are many strange places in the war in Wallachia. According to my previous research at the Military Academy, The battle shouldn't be so smooth, the mountains in northern Wallachia are not good for us, if the Wallachia rebels can take advantage of the terrain, they can build a solid line of defense!"

"However, in the actual battle, these solid lines of defense did not appear. On the contrary, these rebels were like a mess of loose sand, which would collapse at the first touch. According to the information I got, our army seemed to know their defense lines well, and the opponent's morale was inexplicably low , Sometimes it’s a battle to defeat more or less, it’s simply inexplicable... If I were the commander of the Wallachian rebels, I definitely wouldn’t behave so clumsily!”

At this point, Dmitry paused, and said emphatically: "But this is not the most strange thing. There may be many reasons for the low morale of the rebels. The low combat effectiveness can also be caused by the hastily recruited farmers who have not received the necessary military training. Explain. But Duke Mikhail's logistics supply is really a miracle. The last time we fought in Wallachia, the supply was a mess, but this time it was so smooth that it didn't look like our troops..."
