Struggle in Russia

Does Leonid's reason hold?

Of course it is true, so is this reason strong enough?

I'm afraid it has the meaning of a fault.

I wasn't interesting enough at least for Mikhail. The risks and benefits are at most fifty or fifty. This probability is still a bit low and not reasonable enough.

But Leonid ’s reason has just begun. He continued: "Uncle, I think this is a good opportunity to expand the influence of our family. As the old men in Menshkov gradually get older, it must be empty. There are many important positions. The competition obviously starts from now on. We must seize every opportunity to show muscle and strength! "

Mikhail suddenly said that he really did not expect Leonid to say this. Once upon a time, this nephew was so naive and naive, thinking that with a chivalry and noble conduct can maintain the prosperity of the family. Today, is this kid really grown up?

Mikhail is somewhat relieved. Although Leonid's speech still has a naive side, the child is willing to think and to work for the benefit of the family. This is undoubtedly a huge progress. With this attitude and consciousness, it will be impossible to do a great job in the future.

Suddenly, the Duke of Mikhail was pleased. He patted Leonid heavily and exhaled, "Liao Nia, you have grown up. Uncle is really happy, this day I have You waited too long, and even thought that you could not wait. You finally started to mature, which is very good. It seems that the burden of the future family can be left to you! "

Without waiting for Leonid to speak, Duke Mikhail walked to the wine cabinet cheerfully, opened a good bottle of Scotch whiskey, and said, "You have to celebrate, you have to drink a glass! It was given to me by the Duke of Wellington. It was originally intended to be reopened on your wedding day, but today I ’m so happy, let ’s do it! Haha! ”

Leonid was stunned and had no idea what to say. He had never seen his uncle's side before, and he had clearly seen Mikhail wipe the corners of his eyes just now. Did that just make him so happy?

Leonid was a little uneasy and ashamed. Before, he always thought he was very good. He was always the kind of child of someone's family. He didn't need to worry about his father and uncle. But apparently it is not the case now, and from Mikhail's attitude, they are probably very worried.

Leonid could vaguely guess what his father and uncle were worried about. Before, he never thought that he had problems in that regard, and it was not enough to follow the chivalry and uphold the spirit of the knight, what could be considered.

今天 But today, especially after a few months in the 748 regiment, Leonid's mind has changed. It's not that he has become slick, but that he has found a huge gap between ideals and reality. Not all nobles valued the chivalry as much as he did, and he had seen too many hypocrite hypocrites.

Is it useful to talk to these people about chivalry? For example, Mesadov, this is a complete **** and scum, which makes no sense at all. However, Leonid heard that Li Xiao said that the cricket was going to be planted and framed. With this kind of talk about the chivalry spirit, I am afraid that he will be eaten without bones.

Leonid, who was once stunned, was confused and wondered what was wrong with Russia. Has it reached the age of moral loss? If as a nobleman you do n’t need any courtesy and shame, then what kind of nobleman?

At that time, Li Xiao told him: "My friend, I appreciate your chivalry spirit and appreciate you always abiding by the rules of the knight. This is a very noble quality. In this age of materialistic pervasiveness, your quality appears Especially precious. "

"However, life must be principled and true, but it must also be flexible. When friends come, they have good wine, and when the rich wolf comes, they must be entertained with shotguns. Use gentlemen's means to gentlemen, and villain's means to villains, don't Obstinate! "

Brian Leonid accepted the suggestion when he started to work more flexibly and think about problems. It did change, and even Alexei said he was not so old-fashioned.

At the same time, some issues he hadn't thought of before began to appear in his mind. He began to think more about political and philosophical issues than focusing on military affairs and beliefs. He began to understand that feelings and pious beliefs did not solve the troubles facing Russia, because many people in high positions were simply moral and religious.

Leonid became interested in mathematics. He found that the tool of mathematics was very useful because numbers would not lie. Those icy data could tell him whether the soldiers were training properly, whether they were full and warm, and whether anyone was embezzling public funds.

When he began to rely on numbers instead of blind character, everything changed. He can see that the situation in Russia is really bad from the statistics: the illiteracy rate is astonishingly high, the poverty rate is even higher, and the gap between the rich and the poor is polarized. Seventy-five percent of people in this country are struggling to survive ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Just under five percent live in paradise.

What this means is even frightening for a political half-assistant like him. He never felt that Russia was strong and beautiful, that those traditions were worthy of protection, that nobles were great, that the emperor was wise and mighty.

Real Russia makes Leonid feel terrible. He doesn't like this real Russia at all!

He won't hide himself, he wants to make a change. He began to think, to explore, and then to change, and then he parted ways with his past.

He no longer avoids talking about money and interests because it exists objectively. Without interests, there is not all of them. How to make the distribution of interests more fair and reasonable is the thing he wants to explore now.

So he does not shy away from talking with Mikhail about the interests, the interests of the country, the interests of the family, and the interests of the individuals, all of which he needs to pay attention to. No one can escape from all this and become a saint!

"Very good! You are indeed grown up!" Mikhail became more and more happy, somewhat old-fashioned, "It seems that you are right to go to the 748 regiment. If you knew that the grass-roots training is so Useful, your father and I should act early! "

Mikhail Haha laughed and said, "Indeed, it doesn't make sense to stay with the Hermitage and the Crown Prince. There are little foxes besides the old foxes, all hypocritical assholes, and you are too sincere and easy to be deceived by them! "

"But it's not too late for you to understand now. You said just now that these are your new friends to help you understand? I really didn't expect that the hybrid grandfather had such a side. I despised him ... so, Take a moment and ask your new friend to come to me, let's have a good chat! "
