"Mr. Gorchakov!" A look of worry also appeared on Nesselrode's face, "Do you think His Majesty sincerely wants peace talks?"
Gorchakov instinctively shook his head, then said politely, "Even if His Majesty doesn't want peace talks, he should consider the current predicament the Russian Empire is facing!"
Gorchakov's remarks made Nesselrode burst into laughter.
"Minister Nesselrode, is what I said incorrect?" A look of frustration appeared on Gorchakov's face.
"Mr. Gorchakov!" Minister Nesselrode stopped laughing and instead spoke to Gorchakov in a mentoring tone, "In terms of talent and wisdom, you are not inferior to me, and perhaps even surpass me.
But do you know why you have remained in your position as an envoy for decades without any progress?!"
"It's all thanks to you, Minister!" A look of sarcasm appeared on Gorchakov's face, and his tone took on a mocking quality.
