Marcel. Yaruger's contempt for the rebellious spirit of the Russian people not only made Herzen angry, but also made Herzen have a little approval in his heart.

After all, Russia is so docile compared to the French populace who expelled two generations of kings that any local bureaucrat can oppress them to death.

At some times, Herzen even thought that if the people of the Russian Empire could be like the people of Paris, then the officials sent by the Tsar would not dare to oppress them with impunity.

Unfortunately, the people of the Russian Empire did not have the same spirit of resistance as in Paris, and the people, who had been oppressed by the Tsar and his henchmen for many years, had already developed the habit of receit.

It is for this reason that Herzen believed that in order to achieve a revolution in the true sense of the word, it must be a revolution of a small group of people, a small elite who used unconventional means (assassination, explosives) to eliminate the Tsar, and then took advantage of the window when the old Tsar died and the new Tsar succeeded to the throne to take control of St. Petersburg, and then push the revolution in one place to the revolution of the All-Russian Empire, so as to establish a new, constitutional monarchy.

Because only in this way can the Russian Empire be truly broken and stand on its own.

Of course, Herzen himself believed that the Russian Empire still needed a tsar, but it did not need a tsar like Nicholas I and Alexander II, but a tsar who was entirely supported by revolutionaries, preferably a Tsar of the Romanov branch.

Anyone who has experienced the power of the tsar will not honestly hand over the power in his hands.

At the same time, Herzen also believed that the proposition of the Romanov branch as tsar would greatly reduce local resistance.

After all, the succession of the Romanov family was full of blood and intrigues, and neither of Paul I nor Peter III was pushed down.

Therefore, even if they kill Nicholas I, as long as they can elect a new tsar, then the local government will choose to wait and see because of the new tsar's coming to power.

When the time comes, they will only need to slowly get rid of those diehards to complete the reform of the monarchy.

Of course, all of this is nothing more than Herzen's own wishful thinking.

Deeply influenced by the anarchism of this era, he pinned all his hopes on the dream of a few people to use terrorist attacks to kill their minds and change the entire system.

He apparently forgets that the mind has power because it acts in the interests of the whole system, and if the mind chosen by the system is not in the interest of the whole system, then the mind will die.

If Herzen's desire for a constitutional monarchy was somewhat in line with the wishes of some of the nobility, then his desire for a socialist state with a constitutional monarchy was not in line with the will of the entire Russian aristocracy.

The vast majority of the nobility were reluctant to lose their privileges, and even if Herzen established a new empire, they would overthrow it.

Of course, Herzen didn't know any of these things now, and he didn't even have much hope that they would succeed.

"We do have many revolutionary-minded nobles in our organization, and some of them are commanders of the Guards." Herzen v. Marcel. Yaruger responded.

"Commander of the Guards?" Herzen's answer made Marcel. Yaruger shifted his perception of Herzen slightly.

If this organization really had the Guards involved, it would have caused some trouble for the Tsar.

"Yes!" Herzen v. Marcel. Yaruger replied.

"Alright! You have proven your worth! "Marcel. Yaruger still responded to Herzen in a condescending tone: "I am willing to cooperate with you on behalf of the Intelligence Agency!" ”

Marcel. Herzen felt a little uncomfortable with Yaruger's gesture of almsgiving, and he immediately retorted slightly: "How are you going to cooperate with France?" Are you in France ready to send troops to attack Petersburg? ”

"No, no, no!" Marcel. Yaruger shook his head and replied to Herzen: "The Russian Empire is simply too big, and my monarch will not repeat the mistakes of the past!" Therefore, we will not send troops to attack St. Petersburg directly! ”

"And what do you want to do?" Herzen asked Marcel again and again. Yaruger Road.

"Mr. Herzen, I want to ask you one thing first! Where do you fit in your organization, and can you take your place in determining the direction of something! "Marcel. Yaruger asked Herzen with a serious face: "If not, then ask someone who can make decisions on behalf of your organization to talk to me, my time is precious, and I don't want to have meaningless conversations!" ”

Herzen was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked Marcel. Yaruger said, "Minister Marcel, could you please come with me to a place?" ”

"Paris, or ......" Marcel. Yaruger's voice asked Herzen without a hint of warmth.

"It's near the Bois de Boulogne!" Herzen v. Marcel. Yaruger replied.

"Alright then!" Marcel. Yaruger stood up and said to Herzen.

Herzen and Marcel. The two Yarugers left the cabin, and Marcel. Riding in Herzen's carriage, Yaruger soon left the Bois de Boulogne, and then galloped through a large wheat field to a village on the outskirts of Paris.

By this time the smoke was rising over the village, and Herzen and Marcel entered the village, where they came to the only castle in the center of the village.

"Lord Marcel, this is it!" Herzen said as she pulled the car door and got out of the car.

Marcel in the carriage. After looking up at the castle through the window, Yaruger jumped out of the carriage as well.

The two of them arrived together at the gate of the castle, and Herzen knocked lightly on the castle gate.

A few moments later, a butler in a black coat appeared in Marcel. Yaruger's face.

"Mr. Herzen, His Excellency the Duke is resting now!" The butler said to Herzen respectfully.

"This is a guest from the Palazzo Douyinlery!" Herzen introduces Marcel in the words of the lake. Yaruger said, "He is here to discuss something with His Excellency the Duke!" ”

The butler glanced at Marcel, who was still wearing a mask. Yaruger nodded and responded, "I'll go and inform the duke!" ”

With that, the butler turned and left.

Looking at the back of the housekeeper leaving, Marcel. Yaruger was a little curious about what kind of person this Duke was.

After a while, the old butler reappeared in Marcel. Before Yaruger, on Herzen and Marcel. Yaruger said, "Your Excellency the Duke has woken up!" ”

Marcel. Yaruger and Herzen entered the castle together, and saw the so-called duke on the castle couch.

"Your Excellency!" Marcel. Yaruger bowed respectfully to the old man in front of him, whose temples were completely gray.

Judging from the Duke's facial features, the old man in front of him was probably at least a round older than Herzen in terms of age.

"Monsieur Marcel, there is no need to wear a mask here! Aren't the two of us enemies? The Duke spoke softly to Marcel. Yaruger responded.

Marcel. Yaruger simply took off his mask when he heard this, and the Duke looked at Marcel with curiosity. Yaruger then nodded to Marcel. Yaruger said, "You're a little younger than I thought!" ”

"You're a lot older than I thought you would!" Marcel. Yaruger replied.

"Oh? What should my image look like in your mind? The Duke looked at Marcel with interest. Yaruger.

"Young and passionate!" Marcel. Yaruger replied decisively.

Because only young people will have the momentum to break everything, and it is difficult for old people to have the courage to push everything back open.

At the time of the Decembrist coup, it was a coup d'état formed by a large number of young people.

"Definitely! Young people have courage that the vast majority of old people can't have! The Duke nodded sympathetically, "Just like he did back then." ”

As he spoke, the Duke fell into a reminiscence of the past.

The memories of the past have gradually become obscure, and some of those people are no longer alive.

Thinking of this, the corners of Duke Golitsyn's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

Marcel. Yaruger quietly looked at the duke, who was caught in his memory, and waited until the duke's mood calmed down a little before he spoke up: "Your Excellency, I think we should talk about cooperation!" ”

"We really should talk about it!" The Duke nodded, and then looked at Marcel with a serious expression. "But before we work together, I think there should be a simple process of getting to know each other, and I wonder if you'd like to take some time to listen to the story of an old man who is about to leave France!" ”

Marcel. Yaruger hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Of course!" ”

The duke began to tell his story, and his name was Mikhayl. Andreevich. Golitsyn, born in an aristocratic family with a history of more than 200 years, the first generation of their family ancestors once followed Peter the Great in the four directions, and his father also served for Empress Catherine (II), and even he himself briefly participated in the Russian army under the Holy King Alexander I, and followed the Russian army into France.

It can be said that both of them have been loyal servants of the Tsar for generations, and as for why Duke Golitsyn became what he is now, according to his own description, his change was due to the problems caused by the first time he followed Alexander I into France (Duke Golitsyn did not see this as a problem, he thought it was the beginning of his transformation).

When the Duke of Golitsyn, who had been deeply educated by the Enlightenment ideology, entered France, he was immediately blindfolded by the French ideas, and when he entered Paris, he did not pursue gold, silver and jewelry, as most French officers do, but shipped cartloads of books back to Russia.

It was at that moment that the mind of Duke Golitsyn began to transform.
