Struggle in Russia

By 1847, Simmonds' life was actually very sad. More and more Royal Navy officers who once supported him began to spit him and began to despise him. And with the advancement of science and technology, the academic is increasingly able to hit his face with scientifically proven facts.

This caused Simmonds to sit on the crater, and endure day after day the scorching of lava under his butt. This is uncomfortable, but Simmonds is unwilling to admit defeat. He is the traditional old-fashioned British stubbornness, and even the Qianfu has resolutely refused to admit his mistakes.

But Simmonds ’time is really running out. The Admiralty Committee has no patience for him. If it is not for his prestige supporters, it would be difficult for him to be expelled. Otherwise, the Admiralty would have let him roll over.

As Rao Rao is so, the chief designer of Simonds has actually ended. The Admiralty no longer trusted him, and no longer assigned him any warship design tasks. Instead, the design work was delegated to the assistant chief designer. In fact, he was forced to resign automatically.

But Simmonds was unwilling to get so sloppy, he felt he could still rescue it, and the sudden birth of Li Xiao turned Simmonds into hope, even without the encouragement of the old Adlerberg, he Will also aim at Li Xiao to fire.

why?

The reason is very simple.

In Simons' view, Li Xiao is undoubtedly a soft persimmon. First of all, Li Xiao is Russian. This means that in Britain he will not have supporters, and even those who oppose him will not speak for Li Xiao out of anti-Russian needs.

Secondly, Li Xiao had no previous nationality. No shipbuilding experience, no professional college, just born like a meteor. It looks beautiful, but Simmonds thinks that Li Xiao is a rootless duckweed. As long as he focuses on attacking Li Xiao's qualifications, he can doubt all his conclusions.

In the end, Li Xiaoyu rose quickly, wrote a lot of professional articles, and won praises from many professional experts. If such a foreign academic could be defeated, then Li Xiao's reputation would all be added to his Simmonds. At that time, the position under his **** was not stable!

Symonds thinks that Li Xiao is the angel that God sent to save his career. As long as he eats this angel with a bone, he can still be the chief designer for at least ten years.

With the addition of many factors, Simmonds did not hesitate to fire at Li Xiao. Attacking Li Xiao has no experience in designing ships, attacking Li Xiao has no qualifications in designing ships, and attacking Li Xiao is a crude Russian polar bear.

Anyway, this scolding is hard to hear, and he is also aggressive and commanding, as if it is a lesson for elementary school students.

Then, poor Simond kicked the iron plate. Objectively speaking, the disadvantages listed by Simonds are indeed very detrimental to Li Xiao. At the beginning of the debate, it was really bad for Li Xiao, but as the debate continued to deepen, when Simmonds removed the title and the so-called experience bonus was completely refuted by Li Xiao, the chief designer was sloppy. Phoenix is ​​not as good as chicken.

The only regret is that these debates mainly occurred in British publications. After a month or two of debates, Li Xiao ’s reputation in the UK has risen sharply, and he is a bit of a folk scientist and a scholar of folklore. But these reputations rarely passed back to Russia, and the closed and conservative Russian Navy did not even realize the value of Li Xiao's argument with Simmonds.

Those supporters of Menshekov, the most conservative old stubborn in the Russian Navy, refused to believe that there would be a small Russian hairy head better than the chief designer of the British warship. They blindly believe that foreign moons are more round, and superstitious foreign authorities are more professional.

So it makes people laugh and cry. When Li Xiao won a great victory in Britain, he was ridiculed and despised in Russia.

"Have you heard that, there is a small company commander of the Navy Infantry 748 Group who unknowingly provoked the chief designer of the Royal Navy!"

"Haha, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard. Who gave the idiot the courage and confidence, so arrogant!"

"Couldn't it be mad. They are the grand dukes of the imperial imperial family, naturally they are superior and do not take the world into their eyes."

"Oh, that hybrid grandfather! I said he can be too frustrating, right? He was so troubled in the city before, but now he's gone abroad again, this guy is really a mess!"

"I don't know if it's a **** stick, anyway, this kid is really annoying, so no one can cure him! It's really annoying!"

"Hurry up, I heard that the boy hit the iron plate this time. You think about the level of the chief designer of the Royal Navy, where is his kind of embroidered pillows comparable, I think they will be three, five and two. He could be ashamed, and he could only run away with his tail in his hands! "

"Haha, you're right. I heard the little sister-in-law of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the chief designer of the Royal Navy has the upper hand, that hybrid is almost over!"

I have to say that Menshkov has been operating in the Admiralty for more than 20 years ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ There is no other skill, but the gang is quite a set. Under the management of the old eunuch, the Admiralty is full of conservatives, full of tapeworms. Previously, because of Li Xiao's relationship, Grand Duke Constantine prevailed, which greatly harmed their interests.

听 Listening to the wind is rain at the moment, and various rumors and rumors about how Li Xiao are unbearable and how embarrassing are widely spread.

"Master, don't you care?"

When Nicolas Milyuting entered the Admiralty building, he heard a lot of similar rumors, which made him look very bad.

Although he doesn't like Li Xiao, he doesn't like the English guy even more. I can't see where the laugh of these people is. Is our Russian Grandpa losing to the British guys so happy and so happy? Which one do you guys have?

"Why do you care?" Asked Grandpa Constantine without raising his eyelids.

Nicholas Milyutin frowned, saying, "That William Simmonds not only attacked Prince Andrei Konstantinovich, but even criticized your navy reform plan, how are they all enemies ... ... "

The expression of Grandpa Constantine was not good at all. When he mentioned this, he was in a state of anger. The reforms on his side were so popular, but who thought that an Englishman thousands of miles away suddenly pointed at him and scolded him. , Is the goods a neurosis?

Grandpa Constantine felt that he had been affected by Li Xiao. He scolded indignantly: "It's all Andre's **** doing things. If he didn't stimulate the British guy, the British guy would find trouble? After he was a wanderer, but he was involved in my innovation plan. This **** was completely intentional. I think he is my biggest enemy! "
