Chapter 69(2/2)
This is a good idea, let you handle it."
Ekaterina smiled evilly.
The meaning of this smile was quite complicated. Rasputin thought it was a favor, and a complacent expression immediately appeared on his face.
But in Brauchitsch's eyes next to him, it meant something else.
Taking money out of other people's pockets is something that everyone hates.
Rasputin was still proud of himself, but he didn't know that his move had already laid the foundation for his own death.
Those local powerful people would certainly not dare to bear grudges against Ekaterina.
Even holding grudges is useless!
Why do you still dare to rebel?
But not hating Catherine does not mean not hating Rasputin.
Now that you are famous, these people certainly don't dare to do anything bad.
But the people of Ming Dynasty said it well, flowers don’t bloom for a hundred days.
It's hard to say how long Rasputin would be favored by Catherine's love of the new and dislike of the old.
One day I got tired of being played by Ekaterina, hehe...!
These people would pounce on him like hungry wolves and tear poor Rasputin into pieces.
I've seen this happen a lot before, but not many have learned from it.
Rasputin is just another guy on the verge of bad luck!
The Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty said it well: before he saw him building a Zhulou, before he saw him entertaining guests, before he saw his tower collapsed.
"Your Majesty, Prince Peter is back."
Brauchitsch was thinking wildly when Rasputin suddenly said something.
The brain is instantly alert!
Prince Peter has been missing for half a month, and no one knows where he has gone.
Even close ministers like Brauchitsch didn't know.
More people didn't even know that Duke Peter was missing.
For a while, Brauchitsch even speculated whether Prince Peter was being detained by the secret police.
Now that Rasputin said it, Brauchitsch immediately pricked up his ears.
He saw that when Rasputin was speaking, he glanced at Brauchitsch intentionally or unintentionally.
"Your Majesty! I still have something to do." Brauchitsch understood in an instant and hurriedly saluted Ekaterina, preparing to leave after receiving permission.
Although he really wanted to know what Prince Peter was going to do, his intuition told him that it would be safer to leave honestly.
"Brauchitsch, you are still useful in this matter, you don't have to leave." Ekaterina waved her hand to Brauchitsch.
Prince Peter came back from outside!
His face looked a little bad, and his whole body looked dusty.
"His Majesty!"
"Thank you for your hard work! How was the discussion?"
Ekaterina asked straightforwardly.
"I met Murat, Winston and Bismarck.
They welcomed us back into Europe and they readily agreed to our terms."
Prince Peter looked very excited.
"Really?" Ekaterina didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.
"The process was not smooth, but after my efforts, the three prime ministers still agreed to our suggestions.
And there are no harsh conditions attached." Prince Peter deliberately made things difficult.
In fact, his biggest hardship was drinking wine with Murat.
You may be a Duke, but you are still a bureaucrat after all.
Those things in the officialdom were familiar to him since he was a child.
How could Ekaterina take credit for herself if she didn't tell the story in a twist?
Although he has been honored as a Duke, his children still need to be rewarded.
For the longevity of the family, some things have to be carefully considered.
"Very good! Thank you for your hard work, Duke. I will keep your achievements in mind. When will the coalition launch their attack?"
"The time is set for March or April next year, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. The roads are muddy!
The Ming army's supplies will be greatly restricted, and the coalition forces are ready to launch an attack at that time.
At that time, we will cooperate with the coalition forces and attack the Ming army's supply centers and command institutions from the rear.
The most important thing is that we will attack the Ming Dynasty Marshal.
It’s best to capture him alive. If he can’t be captured alive, it doesn’t matter if he’s a corpse.”
After listening to Prince Peter's words, Brauchitsch felt a little dizzy.
Just now, Duke Peter said that he had met with the three prime ministers of the coalition, and alarm bells were already ringing in his mind.
Now that Prince Peter said this, he immediately understood what had happened.
Russia...is going to rebel.
I don't know why, I just know that they have reached an agreement.
"This is a preliminary letter of intent." Duke Peter handed a sealed volume of documents to Catherine.
Ekaterina took the letter of intent, unfolded it and read it word for word.
After a long time, Ekaterina finished reading.
Brauchitsch saw Ekaterina let out a long breath and looked relieved.
"You'd better leave the rest to Brauchitsch." Ekaterina looked at Brauchitsch behind her.
"Uh...! Your Majesty, I still don't understand what happened." Brauchitsch pretended to be confused.
"We have already held peace talks with the coalition forces, and Russia's national strength no longer supports our continued fighting.
We want to end the war as soon as possible!" Ekaterina said that the peace talks were very concerned about the country and the people.
"From now on, it's up to you to communicate with the coalition forces.
Prince Peter will tell you our principles, and you can talk about the rest."
With a big stone off her mind, Ekaterina wanted to relax.
At least, his position was saved.
Seeing Rasputin and Catherine leaving hand in hand, Brauchitsch looked directly at Prince Peter.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Prince Peter looked at Brauchitsch strangely.
The two were old friends, and this was the first time Prince Peter saw Brauchitsch with this expression.
"What are you doing?
If you betray the Ming Dynasty like this, the Russian nation will be destroyed.
You don’t know how vindictive the people of Ming Dynasty are!
Her Majesty the Queen was so instigated by Rasputin that she lost her head. Could it be that you also lost your mind?"
Brauchitsch looked at Prince Peter angrily.
"So, we have to kill the Ming Dynasty Marshal.
As long as he is killed, Ming Dynasty will be in disarray.
His younger brother and his subordinates will fight to the death for power.
They don't care about us."
A wicked smile appeared on Prince Peter's face.
"You don't understand the Ming Dynasty at all, and you don't understand the status of the Grand Marshal in the Ming Dynasty.
One of his brothers controlled the navy, and the other brother controlled the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
The Army is full of his most loyal partners.
The Li family controlled the army, and they also controlled everything in the Ming Dynasty.
What you did today will put the Russian nation in jeopardy.
