Struggle in Russia

Anton shook the thick stack of confession books in his hand and asked unwillingly: "Let them go just like that? What if they violate the law?"

Nakhimov smiled and said: "Then don't blame me for being rude, just give these things to His Majesty!"

Anton's cheeks twitched a few times and he smiled bitterly: "General, with all due respect, as far as I know these guys have committed far more than just a few mistakes. If I am not wrong, they have definitely avoided the most important and ignored the most important things." It’s not written down!”

Nakhimov blinked and said: "I know!"

Anton was surprised: "Then how much do you think this will bind them?"

Nakhimov patted the stack of confession books and said with a smile: "Of course these alone are not binding, but do you think I won't say a few more words after I give these things to His Majesty?"

Anton immediately understood that the sins in these confessions were certainly not fatal, but Nakhimov's mouth, or if he and Dmitri Milyutin made a report, it would be fatal.

As long as they say that the crimes in the confession book are just a drop in the bucket, some people have committed crimes that are outrageous and resentful, and they are not punished severely enough to make the people angry. Who do you think Alexander II would believe?

In short, this confession is just an introduction, which is to establish the fact that these people have committed crimes. If you are not guilty, why would you write a letter of repentance?

As long as you have a letter of repentance, you will naturally have problems and have to keep your head down. If you cooperate with Nakhimov in his work honestly, you can be proud. Otherwise, you will have to taste the terrible wrath of the Tsar.

Anton immediately breathed a sigh of relief after understanding this. As long as these military leaders were suppressed, it would be almost impossible for Ulanov to counterattack.

He quickly said: "General, I think the most important thing now is to figure out the whole story of Ulanov's collusion with the rebels. I suspect that he will use the rebels to make a name for himself!"

Nakhimov nodded, and it could be seen that his face was rather serious, because Anton's accusation was not trivial. The dignified governor actually colluded with the rebels. This is a head-turning thing. If it is true, Ulanov will definitely die.

But the question is how to check? I'm afraid it won't be easy to find evidence in this regard. After all, Ulanov is not a fool. This kind of brain-dropping thing must be hidden very deep. How can it be so easy to find out!

"Do you have any evidence?" Nakhimov asked.

Anton sighed and said: "There is no evidence. Ulanov is very secretive. Every time he comes into contact with the rebels, he is strictly guarded. My spies can't get close at all. They can only find out that these people came from outside the city." of……"

Nakhimov shook his head and said: "This proves nothing. Not all those outside the city are rebels. It is impossible to do anything to him just by relying on this!"

Anton quickly said: "But the evidence of corruption is conclusive. You have seen the gold and silver treasures on the sunken ship. He will not be able to save so much money in ten lifetimes of wages!"

Nakhimov also sighed and said: "But corruption and colluding with the rebellious party are not the same thing. Delaying corruption will at most make him lose his official position, but colluding with the rebellious party will result in beheading! What's more, we can't be too cautious for the time being. If you irritate him, once he is investigated for corruption, he will definitely jump over the wall, which will only make the situation in Kiev even more chaotic!"

Anton was also very depressed. It was clear that someone was a bastard, but he just couldn't catch him. This feeling was really bad. But he also knew that Nakhimov was right. For the sake of the overall situation, it was really inappropriate to stimulate Ulanov.

After thinking about it, he replied: "Today you have thwarted his escape plan. I think he will never give up. On the one hand, he will definitely try his best to get those treasures back. On the other hand, he will probably strengthen his relationship with the rebels." Contact to cause trouble for you!”

Nakhimov agreed. If he were Ulanov, he would not be able to swallow this breath. What's more, after taking such a big risk to get the money, just give it away like this? Ulanov will never give up.

At this time, Anton continued: "So I think we can start from two aspects. The first is to make a fuss about the sunken treasure, set up a trap to continue to attack his power, and see if there are any of those guys who wrote the confession just now. His people will deal with them one by one and eliminate these lurking enemies in advance, so that they will not jump out and cause trouble at the critical moment!"

After a pause, he added: "On the other hand, I will keep an eye on his every move and try to get evidence that he colluded with the rebels!"

Nakhimov immediately agreed to Anton's suggestion: "Very good, let's do it like this. We will divide our troops into two groups. I will set a trap and you will keep an eye on Ulanov. If you find anything, please notify me in time!"

Anton nodded firmly. When he fought to the death at the dock, he thought that this time it would be doomed. But Nakhimov's sudden arrival suddenly pulled him out of despair.

As human beings, those who have experienced desperate situations and those who have not experienced desperate situations are definitely on two different levels. Anton's ability was indeed good before, but he was not outstanding for the first time, but after this incident, he was different after this layer of window paper was pierced.

With a sense of enlightenment, both the ability to act and the ability to analyze logically are slowly increasing. In an instant, he grasped the key points and knew what to do next.

He even vaguely had another idea. Maybe just staring at Ulanov was not enough and he could do more!

What's going on?

He could take the initiative to collect evidence that Ulanov colluded with the rebels. Even if Ulanov did it carefully and secretly, he would definitely have to send someone to do it. He, a governor, could not personally deal with the rebels. Is it right to deal with and communicate?

He would definitely send his most capable and trustworthy confidant to handle this kind of thing. If he could find this person, if he could pry his mouth open, wouldn't everything be solved?

Anton was a little excited when he thought of this, and he immediately tried every means to contact Cassinin and asked him about the situation in the Governor's Mansion.

Cassinin was obviously in a good mood. He once thought that Anton was in danger, but who would have thought that things would turn out differently?

He replied with a smile: "Ulanov was so angry after he returned that he almost destroyed the study. This is the first time I have seen this old fox lose his temper like this!"

Anton asked again: "Apart from these? Did he summon anyone?"

Cassinin shook his head and said: "That's not true. Apart from throwing things and scolding Nikolai Ivanovich, I haven't seen anyone else."

Anton touched his chin and fell into deep thought: Haven't you seen anyone else? After such a big thing happened, didn't he need to summon his confidants to make new arrangements?
