Struggle in Russia

"Your Majesty the Governor, can you tell me what exactly is going on?"

Ulanov looked at the smiling Nakhimov and almost gritted his teeth. He was not stupid. You could tell by the way Nakhimov and Anton were talking happily that the two people must be related. Since Anton If Dong dares to attack him as the governor, he must have someone to rely on. Maybe this Nakhimov is actually on his side!

Of course, the boot hadn't hit the ground yet, so he couldn't be sure. But one thing he was sure of was that Nakhimov had ruined his good deeds. If Nakhimov hadn't intervened, he would have definitely eliminated Anton.

His overall plan was crushed by the unexpected factor of Nakhimov. You said he was happy to have a good look on Nakhimov.

He replied angrily: "How do I know what happened? Today I went to the dock to inspect the work, and then I was attacked by Colonel Anton. I also want to ask Colonel Anton what he wants to do!"

I have to say that this guy is really smart, and he easily passed the blame to Anton.

However, Nakhimov did not ask Anton anything. In fact, he had already discussed this issue with Anton just now, and Anton had clearly told him the whole story.

He knew that Ulanov was preparing to run away, and that Anton had no choice but to do so.

He admired Anton's courage and decisiveness, but there was indeed a problem, that is, Ulanov was the governor, and he was the boss in Ukraine. All Ukrainian officials, no matter how big or small, must respect his authority as the boss and obey him. lead.

In other words, what Anton did was indeed the following, which is problematic anyway.

However, Nakhimov was not a pedantic person. He knew that Anton had no choice but to do this, so he did not ask Anton anything at all, but suddenly asked: "Come to the dock to inspect the work? Your Excellency, Governor, Kiev is now under heavy siege. The situation is not an ordinary critical situation. Why did you come to the dock when you didn't go to so many places?"

Without waiting for Ulanov to answer, he asked again: "Is there anything special about this dock?"

Special? It's definitely not special. It's just an ordinary dock, nothing special about it. The only special thing is that Ulanov has to run away from here.

Ulanov was stunned for a moment and replied unhappily: "Your Majesty General, do I need to inform you about how I perform my duties as governor? I can inspect wherever I want!"

Although this statement is somewhat unreasonable, it is essentially true. As the governor of Ukraine, he does have this power, at least without Nakhimov's explanation.

However, the purpose of Nakhimov's question was not to humiliate or make things difficult, but to bring up the topic later. He immediately said: "That is your freedom, but from now on I will inform you that this terminal will be fully taken over by me. If you still want to come to the dock for inspection, please inform me in advance to get my permission!”

"you!"

Ulanov was so angry that he wanted to resist, but Nakhimov did not give him this chance at all: "Send a team of people to take His Excellency the Governor back to the Governor's Mansion. Oh, by the way, His Excellency the Governor, according to Demeter According to Count Milyutin's order, I will take over all defense and military work in Kiev. From now on, you will only be responsible for people's livelihood issues, and I will send someone to take over the handover with you immediately!"

Ulanov was taken aback. He had never expected that Nakhimov would seize power as soon as he came up. He definitely didn't want to. In the current situation, if the general power was handed over, wouldn't he be a piece of meat on the chopping block?

But just when he was about to resist, he saw Nakhimov looking at him with a very unkind look, and then looked at the Black Sea Fleet soldiers with guns and ammunition around him. He knew that he was a prisoner and had no ability to resist.

He immediately snorted: "I strongly protest against this. I am the governor of Ukraine. All affairs in Ukraine fall within my scope of authority. If you do whatever you want without His Majesty's order, I will definitely report it to Your Majesty!"

Nakhimov said coldly: "It's up to you, but I think His Majesty's decree for you will arrive soon. I hope you can explain to Your Majesty why Ukraine has become what it is now!"

Ulanov stopped talking. It was not because he was afraid. In fact, he had long forgotten his fear after doing those things. He had been shot ten times for his crimes. If he was afraid, why would he do it?

Now that you've done it, don't be afraid, it's better to quickly seek countermeasures to see how to save the situation!

Ulanov was thinking of countermeasures while being escorted back to the house, but the methods he could use were limited. Nakhimov deprived him of his military power, and he had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

And what he is most worried about now is those sunken ships. The gold and silver treasures on the ships are his heart and soul. Without this money, wouldn't all his hard work be in vain? Without this money, how can he bribe his old friends in St. Petersburg to help him say good things?

For him, the top priority was to find ways to get back the money on the sunken ship, but he did not dare to tell Nakhimov openly: "My money is all on the ship, you have to pay it back to me!"

In that case, with Nakhimov's shrewdness, he only needs to check the evidence of his corruption and everything will be fine!

Therefore, even if he was worried to death, he did not dare to mention the ship. After returning to the governor's palace, he immediately called the housekeeper and ordered him to find ways to find out about the situation at the dock to see if Nakhimov had discovered his secret.

"Why don't you salvage the wreck?"

Ulanov was not the only one who was concerned about the sunken ship. Anton was also very concerned about it. He told Nakhimov early on what was on the ship, but what surprised him was that Nakhimov did not particularly care about it.

"Don't worry about the gold and silver. Even if you put it there, Ulanov can't take it away. What's more, if I attack the sunken ship now, he will definitely jump over the wall! The current situation in Kiev is chaotic, and all forces are waiting and watching, especially the city defense. Army, although we have controlled Nikolai Ivanovich, who can guarantee that Ulanov has no other connections in the city defense army?"

Nakhimov took a deep breath and replied worriedly: "The most important thing right now is to control the situation and control all the troops as soon as possible. According to you, the rebels outside the city are already ready to move. If we are inside at this time, If there is chaos first, Kiev will not be able to defend it at all!”

At this point, he waved his hands firmly and said: "So ignore Ulanov for now, don't irritate him, let him relax first, so as not to cause trouble for us as soon as he comes up! As for his criminal evidence, I will leave him alone for a short time. I can’t even wipe it clean inside!”

Anton thought for a while and felt that Nakhimov's words made sense. It was really not the right time to continue stimulating Ulanov now...
