Struggle in Russia

Chapter 163 Round 2 (continued)

Naturally, Ye Luofei didn't know who George Allie was, and he wasn't interested in knowing. Like all arrogant and self-righteous idiots, he muttered impatiently: "I don't know George Ally, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, I hope you will stop talking about him and answer my question immediately!"

Li Xiao ignored Ye Luofei, and asked again: "Colonel Feizinov, do you know the Nemesis?"

Yerofei became more and more impatient. He raised his head proudly and suggested to Rumyantsev Jr.: "Your Excellency, you have seen that Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich has always refused to answer my questions. Keep rambling, this is deliberately evading and delaying time!"

Rumyantsev Jr. did not disappoint him, and immediately warned Li Xiao: "Your Excellency, please answer Colonel Fedinov's question directly, and stop rambling! Otherwise, I can only end this inquiry and announce ..."

Li Xiao sneered, "Announce what?"

At this moment, Rumyantsev was stunned. He remembered that there was nothing to announce. Ye Luofei's accusation was impossible to stand. Even if Ye Luofei won, Li Xiao could not be held accountable. Reputation is just damaged.

After thinking about it, little Rumyantsev felt that damage to his reputation was considered a success, and was about to use this to warn Li Xiao, but Li Xiao beat him again:

"Your Excellency, how can I talk about him again and again, everything I said is answering the questions of this stupid and ignorant Colonel Fetinov, but he himself is too ignorant to react. !"

Ye Luofei immediately became angry, and said angrily: "Nonsense, what did you answer! It's just rambling!"

Little Rumyantsev was also very upset. He didn't like Li Xiao's attitude of ignoring him completely, and immediately warned: "Your Excellency, please answer the question directly, otherwise I can only agree with Colonel Fedinov's opinion! And again Warn you, don't insult my naval officer for no reason, this is extremely rude, I can only think that you despise the navy and despise the country..."

Li Xiao spread his hands and said with a smile: "All right, all right, I'll tell you soon how stupid and ignorant this Colonel Feizinov is..."

After speaking, Li Xiao said directly to Ye Luofei: "You don't know about George Ally, and you don't know about the Nemesis. It's quite normal, because you don't know anything. If you knew, you wouldn't mention that Ridiculous question of ignorance."

Then Li Xiao turned directly to the audience, and said loudly: "Mr. George Ally is a senior astronomical officer of the British royal family. In 1837, that is, ten years ago, the Royal Navy assigned the Rainbow to this gentleman for experiments. To find out the correction method to correct the disturbance of the magnetic compass by the iron ship."

"Mr. George Ally, after thorough experiments based on the research of Royal Navy Colonel B.J. Johnson, successfully found a way to correct the interference. It is simple and effective!"

Speaking of which, Li Xiao turned to Ye Luofei, who had already realized that something was wrong, and laughed, "Look, you don't know George Ally, you don't know that your so-called problem was solved ten years ago, how are you? How ignorant and ignorant!"

Then Li Xiao turned to the audience again: "As for the Nemesis, this iron-hulled steam ship completed in 1840 applied the research results of Mr. George Ally. The earth went to the Far East and participated in a series of attacks on the Qing Dynasty initiated by the East India Company, which proved that iron-clad steamships can navigate accurately and reliably when sailing in the ocean.

"

Just when the audience thought that Li Xiao had finished speaking, he suddenly added another sentence: "By the way, by the way, the Nemesis is the 28th iron-hulled steamship built by the British Laird Company. Her sister ship Hellfire Hehao has also applied the corresponding results, and the effect is even better!"

With that said, Li Xiao turned around, bowed slightly to Yeluofei and Rumyantsev Jr., and asked mockingly, "Gentlemen, are you satisfied with my answer?"

The roar of laughter rang out again in the auditorium, this time it was even louder, because Lazarev and Bellingshausen took the lead in booing. With the example of these two great figures, everyone became a little unscrupulous.

Of course, the most important thing was that Li Xiao's counterattack was too sharp, almost calling Ye Luofei and Rumyantsev Jr. stupid. But they are really stupid enough, especially Ye Luofei, as the main designer of the navy, he didn't know the technological trends ten years ago, didn't know that the unrivaled problem he thought had already been overcome, and even regarded it as a treasure, I don't know how to attack Li Xiao.

As a result, it was naturally an ugly death. The problem that people solved ten years ago, what are you beeping about! Before getting in touch with him, he still blatantly claimed that iron-hulled boats would sink when they were launched into the water, but Li Xiao told him with facts that the British Light Laird Company had built 28 iron-hulled boats.

If the iron-hulled ship really sinks when it is launched into the water, the Laird Company will work tirelessly to build a small 30th ship if it has a lot of iron and will not give up!

"Nice job!"

Tolstoy let out a triumphant cheer. He was excited by Li Xiao's demeanor that wiped out the enemy while calmly talking and laughing on the stage just now. How he wished that the person on the stage could be himself!

He also wants to be this kind of hero who leads the trend of the times, and if he wants to be able to show those clowns like Ye Luofei their true colors with a wave of his hand, he can only run away in embarrassment.

He put his arms around Alexei's shoulders excitedly, and made a series of babbling sounds, and the brat looked overjoyed.

But Alexei was not as excited as he was, not that he was unhappy, he was also happy for Li Xiao's sharp counterattack, and he wanted to praise him. But he is not a political novice like Tolstoy who knows nothing. Alexei keenly noticed the strange attitude of little Rumyantsev - this guy has been targeting Li Xiao, it's very strange!

Alexei thought that as a running dog of Crown Prince Alexander, Rumyantsev Jr. shouldn't be so kind to help Grand Duke Constantine. Little Rumyantsev made trouble for Grand Duke Konstantin a lot before, so why is he acting out of character today? Could it be that Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine put aside their previous suspicions and worked together?

If so, it would be quite disadvantageous for Li Xiao and Leonid. The reason why they were able to save the day was because they took advantage of the internal strife between the two brothers. They shook hands and made peace.

For a moment, Alexei was extremely anxious. So is his guess correct? Are Grand Duke Constantine and Crown Prince Alexander really colluding?
