Struggle in Russia - v3 Chapter 858 Endless harm

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Struggle in Tsarist Russia!

Count Rostovtsev despised Nikolai Milyutin the most. He always cared about Alexander II's senses. The problem is that you are obviously a reformer who doesn't like him. Even if you put yourself in his shoes For the sake of the tsar, do you think he will appreciate it, do you think he will like you?

In the eyes of Count Rostovtsev, since you are a reformer, since no matter how the reformers reconcile and retreat, they will not make Alexander II or other tsars look down on them, so why do you still have so much scruples?

Let go and do your thing, try to check and balance the tsar as much as possible, and let the tsar have to reform, isn't it much better than being a good gentleman!

Yes, Count Rostovtsev thinks that Nikolai Milyutin is a good gentleman, and the last thing reform needs is a good gentleman. After all, in order to change the old political structure and move the conservatives' interests, the most important thing is to mix mud. Once you soften the enemy, you will become hard. The reform plan that came out at that time is a bucket of mud, and in the end, there is no benefit at all.

Count Rostovtsev believes that what the current reformers need most is to insist on a bottom line but at the same time have means.

The problem with Nikolai Milyuting is that there is no bottom line. Alexander II is always a little unhappy, and he is uneasy, thinking about whether to make some concessions in exchange for Alexander II's happiness.

How do you get it?

If Alexander II is still unhappy, do you still want to reform?

So this is also the reason why Count Rostovtsev keeps beating him. If he doesn't beat him, he might become a capitulationist right away, and he even engages in a fart reform!

"What is the impact of scruples?" Count Rostovtsev reprimanded with dissatisfaction. "Is there something wrong with Grand Duke Andrei's ability? Can't he be competent for the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or other key departments?"

Nikolai Milyutin just wanted to say that this is not a question of ability, but a question of influence, but Count Rostovtsev taught him an unhappy lesson: "Nikola, you must first clarify your position. Do you support reform, or just to make His Majesty happy? If you want reform, the most critical point now is to let more people who support reform occupy a key position, otherwise who are you going to rely on to promote and implement reform measures?"

Nikolai Milyutin stopped talking, not because he was persuaded, but because he still believed that letting the reformists occupy more important positions and letting Li Xiao return to St. Petersburg were not the same thing. He is not opposed to letting the friends occupy a good position, what he is opposed to is letting Li Xiao come back and occupy a good position.

"It's no different!" Count Rostovtsev pointed out sharply: "Your objection to letting the archduke come back is nothing more than a piece of bullshit. Your Majesty may not be happy, but I ask you, those who support reform do not like His Majesty. More, can those people not be able to come back?"

Nikolai Milyutin suddenly stopped speaking, because there were indeed such calls recently, demanding that the reformers who had been implicated in the reforms or the Decembrist issue in the past be brought back to the center, and he was clearly opposed to this proposal. The reason is naturally that it is too sensitive now and should not provoke Alexander II.

And now this reason is directly taken out by Count Rostovtsev to hit the target, pointing out that he is just a compromiser who is afraid of this and that.

"If these people who have sweated and shed their blood on reform issues can't get the respect and status they deserve, who will support us in the future?"

Count Rostovtsev said emotionally: "If they can't come back, what's the point of our hard work all these years? Without the care and support of these friends, how could we hear today. You are better now. , let people forget it directly, this is a typical ingratitude, if we do this, who will support us in the future? Are you going to rely on those old fritters and old stubborn to reform? "

Nikolai Milyuting was so trained that he couldn't raise his head. He felt a lot of pressure. When the faction had privately chatted about this topic before, he could still talk about it and argue against it. But in the face of Count Rostovtsev's sharp offensive, he couldn't even parry.

He really wants to defend himself and show that he is not ungrateful, but just wants to better promote reform, what's wrong with making reform less resistant?

However, Count Rostovtsev categorically criticized: "You are not reducing resistance, but distinguishing between right and wrong! The reason why we can carry out reforms is our persevering efforts in exchange, not the gift of the tsar, nor the heaven. Drop the pie! This is what we fought for!"

"No matter who opposes it, we will persist in our struggle. This is the key reason why we are today. And you always take a firm stand. You always think that if you want to reform, you can only try to please Your Majesty to please the old stubborn, so that they don't cause trouble."

"But the question is, is this realistic? Our reforms will inevitably touch their cakes and touch their interests. Do you think you and Shimu can make a little concession in exchange for their concessions?"

"You are just dreaming! They will never give in, on the contrary, the more you give in, the more they think you are weak and deceitful~www.novelbuddy.com~ will create more and more obstacles. Only we are tough, tell them with an iron fist, or reform Either die, only one can be chosen, so that they will be honest!"

Nikolai Milyutin was covered in sweat, and he was very conflicted in his heart. He was very reluctant to admit that Count Rostovtsev's words were justified, but the iron truth was there. You see, after more than a month, he has been running around for reform, persuading the old and stubborn here, and trying to make suggestions for Alexander II there, but in the end?

In the end, although everyone knows that reform is imperative, there is still no certainty about how and when reform will begin. Even Alexander II's attitude became more and more ambiguous. Today he made a little concession on his side, and in a blink of an eye, Alexander II asked him to make new concessions.

There is no end in sight to go on like this, and he is also very worried that if it continues like this, how many of the reform clauses that can be implemented in the end will be left. It's just that he has been persuading himself with various reasons, telling himself that maybe Alexander II will soon agree to start reforms.

And now Count Rostovtsev has pierced this soap bubble forcefully, telling him that it is a bottomless pit to continue like this. It will cause endless harm!
