Struggle in Russia

Germans are a very special group in Russia. Perhaps in the eyes of Western European countries, the German states are not developed places, but compared with Russia, which is like a barbaric country, it is definitely an advanced country.

What's more, strictly speaking, today's tsar and royal family are also considered Germans, so Germans have been highly regarded in Russia since Catherine the Great. To put it simply, Nicholas I’s Prime Minister Neserrodie was a serious German, and even the five consecutive finance ministers were of German descent.

To put it bluntly, Germans are very powerful in Russia and are a powerful political force.

Especially since Neserrodie became prime minister, he has appointed a large number of Germans, which has expanded the power of the Germans.

It’s just that, with the loss of power in Hedong and Hexi in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, the Germans occupying the core position of the Russian court will definitely no longer exist.

It's just that the Germans naturally don't want to surrender and surrender, so they have been doing everything they can to help Neserrodie maintain its precarious position.

For Finance Minister Bunge, financial constraints are the best excuse to attack Russia's local forces. As the saying goes, a good woman cannot make a meal without rice. As long as the financial throat is blocked, Alexander II cannot easily remove him from office even if he dislikes Neserrodie.

As long as we survive this period of time, as this storm passes, maybe Neserroddie's position will be saved?

To put it bluntly, even if they can't keep the position of prime minister, they can still buy precious time for the German party. This way we can consolidate our power and prevent it from being taken away by the local party, right?

So Bongi always talks about financial constraints whenever he gets a chance. Even normal allocations have to be stuck for a while. The purpose is to let the Native Party and Alexander II know that they are not easy to mess with!

However, Duke Alexander suddenly got angry and fired directly at him, which somewhat caught him off guard.

He feels that Duke Alexander should not be so aggressive. What do you mean by asking this? Expose my background? It’s also too uncouth.

Bunge was naturally a little unhappy, but Duke Alexander's status was there. As the second-ranking figure in the cabinet under the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary's status was quite aloof, half a head higher than his third-ranking position in the cabinet.

He could ignore others, but he really couldn't do this to Duke Alexander.

After a moment of thought, he said coldly: "You don't understand financial matters, and you don't understand those boring data. How can you help? What's more, the work of reducing expenditures is the job of our Ministry of Finance. The point is, a large number of elites have tried their best but can’t come up with a good solution..."

His words were full of contempt, and the implication was that Duke Alexander did not understand finance at all and was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks on financial matters!

This is Hong Guoguo’s contempt! Not to mention Duke Alexander, even Prince Mikhail and other local factions find it jarring!
