As for Carl Nesselrode, Nicholas I appointed him to act as the spokesperson for the Russian Empire, with the primary task of keeping the Kingdom of Britain as neutral as possible.
"Your Majesty, this may require some external assistance!" Carl Nesselrode responded tactfully to Nicholas I, with the aim of prompting Nicholas I to provide some funding.
After all, exchanging some "small gifts" between ministers of foreign affairs can promote mutual friendship.
The use of personal friendships to advance diplomatic development has long become the norm.
"Choose whatever you have your eye on! As long as it achieves the goal!" Nicholas I, of course, understood Carl Nesselrode's implication and, with financial confidence, immediately responded to Carl Nesselrode.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Carl Nesselrode responded with a slight bow to Nicholas I.
Nicholas I, having assigned their respective tasks, waved his hand to signal the three present to leave.
