Struggle in Russia

After instructing his subordinates to pay close attention to Bestuzhev Ryumin's movements, Berkh immediately brought up the topic again. He has not forgotten what the fundamental purpose of today's meeting is - not to resolve the big issue of Muraviyov. The problem, he really can't swallow this breath, he is really not reconciled!

"Continue to talk, think about it carefully, you must give that old guy some color! Otherwise, who will take us seriously in the future fleet!"

Berge was so anxious! He was worried that his prestige would be greatly reduced after the story of making things difficult for Muraviyov and being slapped in the face spread within the fleet. He is very clear that there are actually a large number of senior officers in the Black Sea Fleet who do not buy his account. Those people are more convinced by Kornilov and Nasimov, and they have long appointed Nicholas I as the commander of the Black Sea Fleet. Stomach grumbles.

If the news this time spreads, these guys might make up something to amuse him! It is even possible to be more honest with him. At that time, did anyone listen to what he, the commander, said and did?

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "What are Vladimir Alexievich and Pavel Stepanovich doing these days? Have they had close contact with that old guy?"

Berkh was very worried that Kornilov, Nasimov, and Muraviev would form an alliance, and that would put him under a lot of pressure as a commander!

"Vladimir Alexievich went to Nikolayev, as if to inspect some factory? As for Pavel Stepanovich these days, he is busy making plans to destroy the Turkish fleet. , I haven't heard of any particularly close contact with that old guy."

Berge was a little relieved, as long as these three people didn't "collude" together, the problem wouldn't be too big, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and always felt that something was about to happen.

But this feeling was erratic, and he couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he looked, which made him even more irritable, and he slapped the table immediately: "Then continue to monitor them closely, and give me all your hands and feet recently." Put it clean, don't be caught by that old guy at this time! Although he can't do anything about me, it's still very easy to clean up you!"

After scaring his subordinates, Berge still didn't get a good solution, so he could only temporarily give up hitting Muraviyov in the face, but ordered: "Think about it after you go back, and see if it's still good." Is there a better way, if we don't get driven out by that old bastard, we will have no peace! You don't want to be worried every day!"

What Qianlu Jiqiong was talking about was the state of Berge's group. He had no choice but to pay more attention to St. Petersburg, hoping that there would be good news for him as soon as possible, but what he didn't expect was that there would definitely be no good news. The bad news is not far from him.

at this very moment,

In Kiev, Uvarov's special envoy, Baron Ivan Andreevich Titov, walked into his good friend Count Peter Andreevich Shuvalov in Kiev official residence.

These two are about the same age and have the same temperament. They are both hardcore conservatives, and they are both conservative young blood that Uvarov attaches great importance to. It's just that the abilities of these two young blood are different. Baron Titov is better at handling daily affairs, so he is now Uvarov's personal secretary. This time there was an urgent need to report to Sevastopol. He was young and reliable, so he had to be the messenger.

As for Count Shuvanov, this man showed his talent as a secret police early on. Uvarov publicly said that he has the demeanor of Benkendorf back then, so he is temporarily serving in the third department, and now he is in Kiev. The deputy director of the lieutenant colonel of the third department.

Of course, the main task of his deputy chief was actually to monitor Bestuzhev Ryumin. Ever since Grand Duke Constantine offered Bestuzhev Ryumin the position of head of the third Ukrainian Ministry, Uvarov felt uneasy.

He is well aware of the importance of the third part. If Bestuzhev Ryumin, who has a reformist background, becomes the top executive of the third part, or even takes over the third part in the future, it will be an out-and-out battle disaster.

So in order to pull out Bestuzhev. Liuming's nail in advance, he deliberately sent Shuvanov to Liuming's side, on the one hand to monitor his actions, and on the other hand to train Shuvanov.

Shuvanov naturally knew that he had a great responsibility, because for a young man like him in his mid-twenties, even if his family was relatively strong, it would be difficult for him to get a mid-to-high-level position in the third film. But Count Uvarov casually gave him the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Gendarmerie, and promised that as long as he performed well, his future would be limitless. You can imagine how grateful he is to Count Uvarov at this moment, and to him. How conscientious and dedicated the task was!

So when Baron Titov entered his apartment late at night, he immediately attracted great attention.

"What? Your Majesty wants to replace General Berge? When did this happen?"

Hearing this, Shuvanov jumped up from his chair in shock, waving his arms with disbelief written all over his face.

Baron Titov nodded with a wry smile, and said dejectedly, "It's absolutely true, that's why Your Excellency the Earl sent me to Sevastopol to deliver the letter."

Shuvanov frowned, and walked back and forth in front of Baron Titov several times before asking: "The count means that General Berkh..." He made a gesture, and Titov looked He silently nodded his head in confirmation.

Shuvanov walked around a few more times, then sighed and asked, "Is there anything I need to do?"

Shuvanov's thinking was very clear. He knew that it was absolutely impossible for Baron Titov to find him just to rest. It must be Count Uvarov who asked him to come. I'm afraid he had something important to do.

Titov nodded again, and asked in a low voice, "Is it safe to speak here?"

Shuvanov's expression immediately became more serious. He walked outside the living room to have a look, and then he looked at the window uneasy. After confirming his safety, he walked back to Titov and nodded.

Titov lowered his voice and said: "The count hopes that you will try your best to bring down Bestuzhev Ryumin. Once Grand Duke Konstantin takes over the Black Sea Fleet, and he controls the third part of Ukraine, then their The power will expand rapidly, the Earl is really worried, and he will not allow them to grow bigger!"

Shuvanov frowned, because Uvarov's request was really difficult, and it was not easy to bring down Bestuzhev Ryumin!
