Struggle in Russia

"That is to say, after you turned around, everyone was kicking the ball?" Li Xiao asked with a sigh.

Dmitry sighed too, then nodded.

This result was both unexpected and not too surprising to Li Xiao. What was surprising was that Alexander II had clear instructions. Normally, those bureaucrats should not be so perfunctory.

But what happened to Dmitry shows that they don't even bother to make gestures, which is a bit strange.

Not surprisingly, since he already knew the attitude of Count Rostovtsev, it is very likely that he will create some obstacles, so that the counter-insurgency operation will not be carried out so smoothly.

Because at least for now, it seems that the situation that Count Rostovtsev needs has not fully emerged, and he should hope that the pressure will be greater.

Li Xiao rubbed his chin and thought about the reason. It seemed that Dmitri had no better solution than going to Alexander II to file a complaint.

But it is definitely not a good way to file a complaint, because any superior does not like subordinates to report and complain at every turn. Doesn’t Alexander II know that this matter is difficult?

Obviously he knew, and he handed over this matter to Dmitry obviously hoping that Dmitri would use his own ability to solve the problem.

So what's the use of running to complain? Make Alexander II hate Dmitry even more, and make him think that Dmitri has no ability?

Such stupid things must not be done!

Li Xiao thought for a while and asked, "Prince Mikhail said he needs time, right?"

Dmitry nodded. To tell the truth, after traveling to so many departments, it seems that only Prince Mikhail's attitude is not so perfunctory. He seems to really want to help but is powerless.

Li Xiao immediately said: "Then let's go see the prince again, maybe I can help you?"

Can I help?

Prince Mikhail didn't count on Li Xiao's help. In fact, he got a warning from Duke Alexander since he took over this bad job:

"You'd better be clear. You're just an acting minister of war. It's hard to say whether you can get rid of the word acting in the future... But based on my experience, it's unlikely that you will become a full-time official. Your majesty made it clear that he is using you to make a transition. After this limelight, you will be tossed aside..."

Prince Mikhail didn't speak, he actually felt the same way. He is just a temporary rescuer, after the rescue, it will be cool to go there. If you think about how Alexander II could have made Duke Alexander the prime minister and his own brother the minister of war, wouldn't the Gorchakov family be in power.

A normal emperor would not do such a thing, not to mention that things in Ukraine came in such a hurry this time, it seems that the sky changed overnight, but everyone knows that freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, and the problems exposed in Ukraine now may be It's just the tip of the iceberg, how bad the underground mess might be!

To put it bluntly, Ukraine is a pile of stinky shit, and no one will feel better if it is stained. So why are you so stupid to bump into it to find yourself uncomfortable?

Duke Alexander sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't? We all know that if there is a cockroach in the room, there may be many cockroaches in the invisible place. Ukraine is the exposed cockroach, don't think it is easy to clean up !"

Prince Mikhail nodded and said: "I know, but Dmitry Milutin may not understand this truth, not to mention that this time His Majesty made it clear that he wanted him to make meritorious deeds, even if he understood it, he might pretend not to understand it in order to get promoted. ah!"

Duke Alexander stopped talking, so he was worried about this. If Dmitry is really a fool and makes a scene regardless, it will be difficult for everyone.

When the two brothers were worried, the housekeeper came to inform that Li Xiao and Dmitri had come together.

Immediately, the faces of the two brothers became more and more serious. If it was Dmitry who came, it would be fine, at worst, they would be fooled away with a smiling face. But Li Xiao actually came with Dmitry, how did the two get mixed up.

"What should I do?" Prince Mikhail asked with a bitter face.

Duke Alexander sighed and said, "Let's take a step and see what they say first!"

When Li Xiao walked into the living room and saw Duke Alexander, he knew that Dmitri might have been tricked by Prince Mikhail in the morning, and this old fox was also a football player and didn't want to get involved in it.

Now things are a little troublesome, if you can't convince this one, no! If these two old foxes changed their minds, it would be really difficult for Dmitry.

Li Xiao deliberately said with a smile: "The duke didn't expect you to be here, and it just so happens that you need your help in this matter, so we don't have to go find you!"

Duke Alexander couldn't laugh immediately after hearing this. He couldn't figure out what the mess in Ukraine had to do with him~www.readwn.com~ He was in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he didn't care about money or supplies, and counterinsurgency This kind of thing has nothing to do with him.

But since Li Xiao said he wanted to ask him for help, there must be a reason. It seemed that he had to listen carefully so as not to fall into a pit without paying attention.

Seeing that he had attracted Duke Alexander's attention, Li Xiao was also slightly relieved. He was afraid that Duke Alexander would refuse him without listening to what he had to say, which would cause serious trouble.

Now that people are still willing to listen to him, things will turn around.

He said with a smile: "Count Dmitry visited His Excellency the Prince this morning. Counterinsurgency in Ukraine is not a good job. God knows how big a problem it is. If you don't pay attention, you may suffer losses or be sinners. It's very difficult to handle." !"

Duke Alexander and Prince Mikhail looked at each other, and felt a little more at ease. Li Xiao's words showed that they knew how bad Ukraine was, and they specifically pointed out the sinners they were worried about. nonsense.

As long as they don't mess around, it's easy to handle. They are most afraid of Dmitri's messing around.

After pondering for a moment, Duke Alexander replied: "It's good that you know the seriousness of the matter. Mikhail also knows that it is difficult to handle, but even if he wants to help as a new official, he is powerless. To be honest, the bureaucrats in the Ministry of War are terrible. Give him a hard time!"

Li Xiao felt like a mirror in his heart, what Duke Alexander said was a lie, and it was true that Prince Mikhail had just taken office, but it would be a big joke to say that the gang from the Ministry of War could torment him.

Who doesn't know Prince Mikhail's influence in the army, his subordinates and friends are all over the army and the army department, who dares to torment him? I'm afraid it's impossible to play sloppy with him.

This is clearly perfunctory, it seems that the pair of old foxes still don't want to help, they still want to play football!
