Struggle in Russia

How could Leonid not be excited?

He once left Crown Prince Alexander amidst the incomprehension and ridicule of many friends and colleagues. At that time, everyone felt that he was self-deprecating and hopeless, and almost everyone except Alexei was ready to see his jokes.

Especially the crown prince Alexander, Leonid will never forget the look in the crown prince's eyes when they parted ways, it was clearly disgust or contempt.

This look deeply hurt Leonid. Although he didn't say anything at the time, he firmly remembered the humiliation that day, and vowed to let everyone, especially Crown Prince Alexander, see his choice. is correct.

At first Leonid thought it would take a long time to achieve this. But over the past two months, he has proved with his own actions that there are only bad generals and no bad soldiers. As long as the moths in the army are removed, even the scum like the 748th regiment will be rejuvenated.

Last night, he suddenly received a personal letter from Crown Prince Alexander. In the letter, the crown prince apologized to him and admitted his mistake:

"My dearest Lionia, I now know how correct what you said is. There are indeed a large number of corrupt and incompetent officers in our army. They must be cleaned up so that our army can become strong again..."

"The same is true of Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich. I underestimated the ability of this cousin. He is indeed a capable person. I should treat him more fairly, as you said' There is nothing perfect without rules' Only by following the rules can we safeguard our country and our honor!"

This letter gave Leonid too much motivation, and he almost burst into tears. He felt that he finally saw the wise and virtuous crown prince once again, and saw the incomparably brilliant future of Russia.

The excited Leonid almost stayed up all night. He felt that he had to repay the friendship and trust of the crown prince and make greater achievements. The most simple and direct way was to make the 748 regiment even better and make the 748 regiment a role model!

So he can't wait to shine in the coming year and repay Crown Prince Alexander's trust with honor!

Looking at Leonid who had fallen into a frenzy, Li Xiao felt his ass hurt. He really only wanted to develop insignificantly, and he really didn't want to be too showy. The tree was so big that he shot the first bird, and he was stared at by Nicholas I. If he showed the limelight, the narrow-minded guy would definitely be more jealous of him and deal with him even more. He really doesn't want to die, okay?

It's just that Li Xiao's idea was ruthlessly crushed by Leonid, Vishniak and Boris!

"I must repay the Crown Prince's trust and prove to him that my choice is correct!"

"I have been delayed for several years, and I don't want to continue to waste time. I want to make a career, become a general and make meritorious deeds. I want my mother to no longer endure humiliation, and I want her to be proud of me!"

"I came to St. Petersburg to honor the lintel. I want to let the world know my name, and I want to become the greatest general in Russia!"

Seeing the eager and passionate eyes of his friends, Li Xiao knew he couldn't go on. His current situation depends entirely on the help and support of his friends. Without Boris and Vishniak, his first day in the 748th regiment might be over. Without Leonid's support he could not have done anything in the 748th regiment.

He's already enjoyed so many of his friends and it's time for him to give back to these lovely friends.

"Then we'll be busy next time!" Li Xiao replied very seriously, looking into their eyes.

The three of them replied in unison: "No problem, you can tell me!"

Li Xiao stretched out a finger: "First, we have to ensure that Leonid becomes the commander of the 748 regiment, not just a precarious deputy commander. Only if you become the commander, we will do our best for the 748 regiment." changes can be sustained,

Instead of dying! "

Vishniak and Boris nodded approvingly, this is indeed the most important question. Without Leonid's cover, they couldn't do anything with peace of mind, and they were always worried that their superiors would find fault.

Leonid didn't expect Li Xiao to attach so much importance to him. He didn't realize his importance, so he said modestly: "This is still subject to the orders of the superiors. We can't give and receive in private. What will it look like?" ?”

Li Xiao pointed out mercilessly: "No, my friend. We may have to give and receive in private."

After a short pause, Li Xiao pointed out very seriously: "Don't think that we can sit back and relax without Messadov. There are many bastards like Messadov in the army, and Messadov's friends in the same party are even more serious. It's like Jiang Zhiqing. What's more, the measures we have taken have touched the interests of many people, those guys will not make it easy for us, and will try their best to find faults and make things difficult for us!"

"And the position of the commander of the 748 regiment is very important. If you are not the commander, what if there is another Messadov? Do we have to be passive and endure the beating and fight endlessly with these moths? Then we Where is the time to do serious things?"

Leonid was silent. Judging from his personality, he quite hated this kind of unruly and private awarding and accepting of official positions, and even more hated taking shortcuts through the back door. He hopes that everything will be done according to the rules, and everyone will walk through the back door based on their ability rather than their relationships.

But what makes him speechless is that it is the norm in Russia to fight for relationships and go through the back door, and it is more like a joke based on ability.

Especially now, if he didn't fight for his relationship and his background, he might not be the head of the regiment if he walked through the back door. Because as Li Xiao said, they have already offended a large number of people, how could Menshikov's henchmen see them enjoying themselves?

"We have the right to do things!" Vishniak interjected, "We are not doing this for ourselves, but for the officers and poor soldiers of the 748th Regiment and the 748th Regiment who really want to do things!"

Boris also said: "Yes, you don't want to make them suffer any more, do you let them struggle in despair?"

Leonid was shaken and began to agree with this statement, but he still couldn't pass the test in his heart. I always feel that it is despicable to do this. How will others think of him? Do they think that he is also the kind of hypocrite who says one thing and does another thing more strictly than self-discipline and others?

Li Xiao spoke again: "I know what you are worried about? But I think that kind of worry is meaningless, only those hypocrites who only care about their own small details and their own reputation will worry about it. For those who really want to For those who do things and want to make a difference, what is the slander of others and the rumors of mediocrity?"

"Compared with what we are going to do, these things are not worth mentioning. You don't need to teach you which one is big or small. If I were you, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will do it!"
