Struggle in Russia

There was a moment of silence in the office, and the directors didn't take the initiative to speak to Aldorf's questioning. Not only because this matter was unusually directly concerned by Nicholas I and the crown prince, but more importantly, this matter was very strange and deeply involved. Random participation is an act of dementia and brain damage, and it is not beneficial to one's life and future.

"Why didn't you answer?!" Aldorf emphasized his tone. "The case has been happening for three days. You haven't done anything, or are you so stupid that you don't know what to do?"

The heavy pressure made the atmosphere in the office very dignified. Several directors looked at me and I looked at you, but no one was willing to take the initiative to break the silence, which made Aldorf even more dissatisfied.

The old man sneered: "I tell you very clearly, gentlemen, my patience, or let's put it this way, His Majesty's patience is extremely limited, and now he is impatient. What is the consequence of making His Majesty impatient, you should very clear!"

"I don't mind using a few idiots to appease Your Majesty's anger. Three days...no! I'll give you two more days to solve your troubles. If you can't do it, you don't have to come to work anymore. That's all for you to do for yourself." !"

As soon as this remark came out, several directors finally became nervous, and hurriedly begged for mercy in unison:

"Chief, it's not that we don't do our best, but that the evidence is not in our favor!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief, and the Grand Duke refused to accept his words, biting the testimony to death without letting go, so we can't really punish him! It's so tricky!"

"Not only that, but those idiots from the 748 regiment are still making trouble, it's just... so stupid!"

These people threw out all kinds of reasons and excuses in a hurry, but in fact they just wanted to clear up their responsibilities. But Aldorf is not a rookie in the workplace. He has been in the officialdom for so many years and he knows the little tricks of the bureaucrats. Don't follow their rhythm, let them follow yours. Follow the rhythm, otherwise it is easy to be led into the ditch by them.

"I'm not here to listen to your complaints, nor to help you solve your troubles. I only want results, and His Majesty only wants results. Remember, you only have two days!"

After finishing speaking, Aldorf just slapped his ass and left. To be honest, this made him very happy. After being the chief of the third department for several years, he always got a big headache because of the gang of bastards. They have the opportunity to let these bastards taste the pain, which is very cool!

"My friend, are you not afraid that they will pick you up by doing this? Or join forces to sing against you?"

In Ordorf's private reception room, Peter Mikhailovich Volkonsky, who was wearing a neat general's uniform, was smoking a cigarette in his spare time. This veteran who participated in the war against Napoleon is now the minister of court affairs of Nicholas I. There are rumors that Nicholas I is very satisfied with his meticulous service over the years and plans to promote him as a field marshal.

This is an honor, and not everyone can get it. For example, the confidant of Nicholas I, the eunuch Menshikov, who is also the confidant of Nicholas I, knelt and licked hard enough, right? But he is still only an admiral, and there is no possibility of promotion.

"Peter, you know." Aldorf walked to the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of gin, walked slowly in front of Volkonski, and sighed: "These little people are bastards, They are all lazy, they don’t do anything wholeheartedly, they just want to be lazy and play tricks, just want to make money and gain benefits. Don’t put pressure on them, don’t use whips to drive them to do things, they will turn the world upside down!”

After taking a sip of his wine, Aldorf sat down and continued to sigh: "As for why they join forces to sing against each other... Haha... This is really a joke. If these bastards knew what unity is, I would not be sitting in this position long ago. It's up...they won't join forces, even if there is, it's a dream in the same bed, without my help, they will start fighting among themselves...Look,

My friends, they will be honest! "

Peter Volkonsky flicked the cigarette ash, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said sullenly: "That being said, my friend, His Highness is very concerned. Although I can speak for you, Menshikov , Adlerberg, Paskovich and Chernyshev are also watching you, who doesn't like your position?"

Aldorf took another sip of alcohol. What Peter Volkonski said was exactly what he was worried about. Although the chief executive of the third part was indeed difficult to do, his position and importance were self-evident. As the emperor's eyes, ears and thugs, whoever controls this department can know all the secrets of the empire. As the crown prince gradually matured, as Nicholas I gradually aged, planning for the future was something that powerful officials like them had to consider.

Aldorf didn't want the day when the new emperor ascended the throne to be the anniversary of his retirement. After thinking for a while, he asked, "I'll let those bastards get things done as soon as possible. But the Grand Duke, my people can't do their best to entertain him. If we can..."

Peter Volkonski extinguished the cigarette butt, and warned very seriously: "Put this thought away! It's impossible. Although His Majesty doesn't like the Grand Duke and is eager to punish him, but I hope it will be justified, you must produce solid evidence to accuse the Grand Duke, and then His Majesty will have to punish him!"

Aldorf sighed: "This is the trouble. The idiots of the 748th Regiment are too rough. They gave the Grand Duke a good reason. They really should shoot those idiots. They can't do simple things well."

"Now is not the time to complain," Peter Volkonsky gave Ordorf a meaningful look, "You should do your best, and I will do my best to deal with Menshikov's bastards. Hurry up and let me know the good news, Your Highness can't wait!"

As you can see above, the Sertorov mutiny case has affected the hearts of the dignitaries in St. Petersburg this winter. Old foxes and old bastards are all ready to take advantage of this case. Make a fuss.

However, the parties involved in this case, Li Xiao and Boris, were as leisurely as if they were on vacation in Hawaii. The former practiced Russian with a Russian dictionary, and the latter ate and drank hard to grow back the lost fat.

So what kind of case is this, and what did Li Xiao and the others do that required the third department and the Minister of Palace Affairs to investigate it? To make it clear, all this has to start from a few days ago. On that day, according to Li Xiao's request, a new round of food and grass was sent from St. Petersburg to the Second Company in Sertorov Town. And Shishkin's men have also received news and are ready to go...
