Still ahead were and a delicate diplomatic move of Kruzenshtern (the outstripping visit to Kamchatka), and the relative failure of the embassy, and the decision by N. P. Rezanov to get off the "Hope" ship, and the unsuccessful meeting of Rezanov with "Neva" in Alaska, but already in latent form appeared the unformulated decision by Y. F. Lysyansky, explicitly adopted later, - independently, with the highest possible speed to arrive in Kronstadt. INDEPENDENTLY! AND BE THE FIRST!
A question arises, to which there is no unambiguous answer: which option would actually be safer? Option joint or option of separate floating?
And unless arrival of one - one of two - the ship wouldn't be a success in eyes of the Emperor Alexander I? Even on condition of a non-arrival of the second? International experience allowed to believe: safe finishing of a sea campaign by one of the ships would even undoubtedly be estimated as a successful completion of an expedition.
But both ships have successfully arrived!!! ("we have with glory finish our expedition... whatever happened and to what victims it wasn't necessary to come across!"). Everything has passed successfully (that was in competence of captains): and both circumnavigations, and military aid for Russian-American Company, and trade, and researches! Russia became in one level with the leading world sea powers. ("Whether not early to be the Cook, the young man?" (The words of the Ambassador Vorontsov. Is quoted on: [3])).
But while Krusenshtern's ship "Hope" flies to Japan.
The magnificent diplomatic move of Kruzenshtern: Ivan Fedorovich changes the sequence of achievement of goals. For beginning, it is not delivery of the embassy to Japan. First visit to Kamchatka. Motivation is difficult to challenge: cargo needs to be delivered urgently to Kamchatka. Firstly, the Company's representatives expect cargoes, and secondly, the conditions of navigation may change. Rezanov is forced to agree.
Rezanov is morally disorganized, in Petropavlovsk "is starting to let off steam," begins the formal proceedings. Kruzenshtern is threatened with suspension, but Kruzenshtern makes a new powerful diplomatic step: he apologizes.
Rezanov, perhaps, would like to remove him, but the deadlines do not allow: the situation will drag on. It is already tightened: ships stood in Brazil an unforeseen time, when being repaired; then - re-planned transition to Petropavlovsk (instead of Japan).
Necessary to hurry with the embassy.
The captains had already shown their qualifications, and it was clear that the success of the expedition was real.
Rezanov could not boast of any achievements at the time of the conflict settlement in Kamchatka.
If really in Brazil Rezanov had sent in St. Petersburg the reports about the "disobedience" of the captains , he could expect some kind of response, arriving to Kamchatka. (This argument, of course, conjectural. The author has no information on the speed of movement of mail).
But in any case, information sources do not contain information about Rezanov's obtaining in Kamchatka any clear answers from St. Petersburg on his reports regarding the "disobedience" of captains.
The threat of captains ' resignation and the unclear reaction of the imperial management to Rezanov's messages were one of latent culminating points of an expedition.
Rezanov realized that need to "take back".
Rezanov accepts the apology of Kruzenshtern. The Embassy ends in relative failure. Japanese Emperor not accepted the gifts, did not agree on the establishment of diplomatic relations. In general, this was not some special failure. Such was the policy of Japan. Japan at that time "distanced itself" from all European countries (except the Holland).
The failure of the embassy mission - if it had happened immediately after the conflict with Kruzenshtern - Rezanov could interpret in different ways, including redirecting some share of responsibility to Kruzenshtern. But formal reconciliation in Kamchatka took place. Ryazanov had no reason to criticize Kruzenshtern.
Of course, in Russia was hoping for success of the embassy mission , but, on the other hand, Japan's policy and position were not secrets to anyone. Most likely, Emperor Alexander I took into account the possibility of failure as very real. And the results of the embassy mission did not upset him.
The intolerable situation on the ship around Rezanov, the relative failure of the embassy. Rezanov appears in the role of an unsuccessful ambassador.
Objectively, he's nothing to blame.
Rezanov moves down out from the ship (1805).
Goes to Alaska. There - 'Neva'. Yu.F. Lisyansky learns about upcoming arrival of Rezanov. But time doesn't wait. Lisyansky hurries to China, to the Canton.
Rezanov remains in Alaska. Remains as a person with double problems: (1) The history of the conflict on the ship and (2) the relative failure of the embassy.
Rezanov comes back through Siberia to St. Petersburg.
Objectively he isn't guilty of anything. And formally there was nothing to accuse him. A person with less self-esteem, perhaps, would have experienced the situation more easily.
Naturally, position of the person who hasn't achieved success doesn't add vital forces. The en route N.P. Rezanov is dying (1807).
And at Rezanov's presence on "Hope", and at his absence, the psychological mechanism a Troyecentricity, launched by a wise Sphinx, continues to operate successfully in the direction of creation of success.
According to some references in the books by I. F. Kruzenshtern and Y. F. Lisyansky it can be concluded that "Neva" showed great rapidity (compared with "Hope"). (Competently was repaired? Impact of the shipbuilder's knowledges?)
Yu.F. Lisyansky writes in the book:
"April 15. Wind is fresh, the South East, the weather is cloudy. The ship "Hope" has disappeared from sight. At night, by cannon shots and flares, I let him know about the place where we were. In the morning I used all the diligence him to find, but my efforts remained vain. By noon a dense fog appeared and forced me to keep the proper course, especially as the wind blew a favorable one, which must be used where several hours sometimes give the greatest difference in swimming. So, this is the third time we are separated in a sudden way.
