After Gutavov's agreement with the Luwinda Alliance, many important economic cooperation plans between the Chinese Empire and Russia were announced one after another, on the one hand, the economic benefits that the Chinese Empire gave to Russia, and on the other hand, Russia opened the door for the Chinese Empire to invest in its territory, and so on.

The cooperation between the two sides is in full swing, and Gutavov's popularity has risen in Russia through this cooperation, and public opinion polls show that his support has risen by more than ten percentage points.

And the civilian clique under him took advantage of this to build momentum and shout for Gutavov to take the crown prince.

For a moment, it seemed that the position of crown prince had become Gutavov's bag, and he would no longer think of a second person.

Just when Gutavov was out of the limelight, Zhu Ke, the first protagonist of the battle for the throne, did not make any move, it seemed that the throne was unattainable for him, and the old Tsar Nicholas II did not make any statement, and seemed to be waiting to see what happened.

The atmosphere is quite eerie, one side is in full swing, the other side is inconspicuous and silent, and the middle one who is the final judge is unfathomable, making it impossible to figure out what he is thinking.

This qiē looks quite weird, especially for Gutavov, as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, he was punching hard, thinking that he would kill the opponent with one punch, even if he couldn't die, he had to be seriously injured, but in the end, he found that his punch was like hitting the cotton, and there was no reaction at all, not only did his opponent not react, even the referee remained silent, he seemed to be busy in vain.

So, the depressed Gutavov called in his confidant, the Minister of Economy - Belinsko. Plotting further actions.

Belinsko, Minister of Economy of Russia, in his early fifties, was born with the appearance of a treacherous and slick man, he was Gutavov's distant cousin, in the strict sense of the word. He had nothing to do with Tsar Nicholas II, but because of his relationship with Gutavov, coupled with his own status and status, he also belonged to this aristocratic circle.

This man was deeply appreciated by Nicholas II, who had occupied the position of Minister of Economy for more than ten years, and was also a deeply rooted person in Russian politics, and the reason why he chose to side with Gutavov in the battle for the crown prince was because Gutavov was his cousin. On the other hand, because he has always been on low terms with the military, in order to prevent the military forces from targeting him, he must first climb a big tree.

However, this old guy really has some strength, which should not be underestimated.

"Uncle Cousin, what do you say we should do next? We have done so much, and His Majesty the Emperor seems to have no indication at all. Gutavov grimaced. The heart is heavy.

Gutavov couldn't figure out why this was the case.

Reclining in his chair, his hands crossed and his eyes closed, Belinsko frowned when he heard the grumble contained in Gutavov's words.

I'm still too young to hold my breath. He sighed inwardly.

Although he came together with Gutavov out of interest, with his shrewdness, he did not choose Gutavov as the object of his allegiance very blindly. There is something he appreciates about this Gutavov, who rose to the high position of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce at a young age, although he has nepotism as a basis, but he cannot hide Gutavov's talent.

Therefore, Belinsko is still relatively satisfied with Gutavov so far, however, he thinks that Gutavov is still too young after all, and many times he can't hold his breath and is a little emotional, but he doesn't hide it, and after a long time, as more and more human accidents are accumulated, Gutavov will become more and more mature, and Belinsko believes in his vision.

"Worf, don't be in a hurry, calm down, it's still inconclusive." Belinsko slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to be a little cloudy, but they were extremely shrewd, and slowly spat out a few words.

The more at this time, the more they have to calm down, anyway, they have already made a move, no matter whether the other party accepts the move or not, they can wait and see what happens, and they can't mess up their positions at all.

"However, I always wonder why this is not in vain, we have made such a great contribution to the empire, Your Majesty should always have something to show more or less, but, alas!" Gutavov said at the end with a long sigh.

Hearing this, Gutavov had a hint of resentment in his heart.

"Are the people we went out to find out have come back?" Belinsko did not respond positively to Gutavov, but asked.

He didn't feel that he had to show any attitude in front of Gutavov, and there were some things that Gutavov himself needed to figure out, so it was better not to say it than to make inappropriate remarks.

And Gutavov, seeing Belinsko suddenly ask about this, looked at him a little strangely, and then instinctively said: "Came back, but as we saw, as usual, nothing happened." ”

It was when nothing happened that he was in a hurry, and Gutavov was angry just thinking about it.

Belinsko, of course, understands Gutavov's feelings, and he also understands, but now is not the time to get angry, the most important thing now is what is going on in the mind of the person sitting at the top, and what the opponent is thinking, as long as they figure this out, they can formulate a corresponding response plan, otherwise, their blind guessing here will not help solve the problem.

Belinsko has been with the old tsar for many years, and he still has a certain understanding of the tsar's temper, the tsar does not express his position at this time, there must be his reason, he must want to see again, he doesn't want to draw conclusions so quickly, the person in the top position, then he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and do not tell the truth, otherwise, how can he control the overall situation, everything is under control.

Therefore, Belinsko's silence about the tsar is understandable, but Belinsko has to look at Zhu Keshi's silence differently.

In Belinsko's view, although Zhu Kefu is brave, he definitely belongs to the kind of simple-minded and well-developed character, if it is placed in ordinary times, if he is provoked like this, he is afraid that he would have already made a storm in the city, but now, he has no reaction, allowing Gutavov to have the upper hand, which does not seem to fit his personality.

But according to Belinsko's view, Zhu Keshi's biggest reliance is the military group, his mentors and friends are all high-level military officials who hold real power, these people are invincible in the siege of the city, but when it comes to this strategy, these martial artists are not as good as those literati who are full of opportunities all day long, so Belinsko does not believe that this strategy of static braking can be thought up by Zhu Keshu himself or Schikov and others.

There is obviously another master behind Zhu Keshi.

If this is the case, then it will be troublesome, for all along, the civilian clique and the military clique have relied on wisdom, and what the military clique lacks most is wisdom, of course, they do not lack the wisdom to defeat the enemy, but the wisdom of intrigue and intangibility.

And this incident made Belinsko think that the military attache clique may also have someone to plan for them, and if this is the case, it will be a great threat to their civilian clique.

Belinsko began to become cautious, and if what he expected was right, then they had to take action to dig up this person who was a threat to them, and then eliminate it, and never let this danger spoil their great affairs.

After making up his mind, Belinsko said: "Wolf, we don't have to do anything, just wait and see." ”

Belinsko already had a plan in his heart, but he didn't say anything to Gutavov, he was worried that Gutavov would not be able to hold his breath, and that would ruin a big deal, so he waited until he dug out the person behind Zhukov.

"Uncle Cousin, this, this doesn't seem to be good." Gutavov was a little stunned.

He was a little frustrated and a little unconvinced.

He has done so much for the empire, he still has to endure it, it is not fair, and the more Gutavov thinks about it, the more angry he becomes.

And Belinsko didn't know what Gutavov was thinking, he shook his head and persuaded: "Worf, the shape is unknown now, and a rash attack will only make people seize the handle, and wait until things are clear." ”

Belinsko hoped that Gutavov, whom he had his eye, would not be a reckless man like Zhukov.

And Gutavov is indeed not, although he is angry, but he knows that Belinsko has always been resourceful, he said this, there will be a reason for him, and as a superior person, one thing must be done, that is, to be good, Gutavov believes that he also has such good qualities, so he didn't say anything, just suppressed the disbelief in his heart, and then nodded lightly.

Belinsko nodded with great satisfaction when he saw Gutavov's attitude, he was very pleased, and his children could be taught. (To be continued......)
