Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 1097: prepare for the worst

Anton felt that Kassinen had a godsend opportunity in front of him, as long as he seized the opportunity, he could open the door to the new world.

Yes, if you openly become a second-five boy, you will definitely find your own way as a secretary, and you will never think about being a secretary for a big shot again in this life. No big shot is willing to trust a 25-year-old boy!

But, is your lifelong wish, Cassinen, to be a secretary for a big shot, a clown who does dirty work and never gets on the stage?

Who doesn't want to be on their own? Who wouldn't want to stand upright in front of the world and scold Fang Qiu?

Anyway, Anton didn't want to be a slave. He believed that Kassinen was equally unwilling to remain in a ridiculous role like a servant forever.

He solemnly said to Kassinin: "If you just want to be a little secretary forever, you can covertly report Ulanov or not at all, but then you will always be just a little secretary? Your ambition?"

Kassining stopped talking, and sat there blankly frowning, without saying a word, feeling very uneasy about the battle between heaven and man.

Anton continued: "The Kassining I know and know well is a man with big ideals and ambitions, not a timid and ridiculous little secretary!"

Kassinin sighed, and said with a wry smile: "But the risk is very high! You and I are not Ulanov's opponents at all. You don't know that although he has no great ability, he has a very well-developed network of relationships. As long as he is willing to You can destroy us casually! It's too dangerous to rashly make an enemy of him!"

Anton replied contemptuously: "It's true that he has connections, but how do you know we don't?"

Kassinin looked at him and asked, "You mean Count Speranski?"

Anton smiled and said: "You don't need to test me, I can only tell you that many people are on our side, including Earl Speranski, and many big men who are stronger than him. Compared with them Ulanov is nothing but a ridiculous buffoon!"

Cassining looked at Anton in amazement, hesitating even more in his heart. It would be a lie if he said he was not interested, but after working as a secretary for so long, he still had some secrets about the officialdom, and he knew that some things were not like watching Arrived as simple as that.

After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, I will report him anonymously, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Anton interrupted very rudely: "Anonymous reporting is a joke. Do you think that if you want to be anonymous, you will not be exposed? There are thousands of ways to find anonymous people in Russia. As for the understanding of the third part, as long as they want to find you, they will definitely be able to find you!"

After a short pause, he continued: "Besides, anonymity seems to be safe, but it doesn't do you much good. What is your purpose of reporting him? Is it just to get him to go to justice?"

Anton laughed and said, "If you have such great sentiments and don't care about personal gain or loss, then you can report anonymously. It's just that the reward for meritorious deeds later on may not have much to do with you!"

Cassinin was stunned, because the words were too straightforward and obvious, but the truth was very real. He took such a big risk just to uphold justice?

nonsense!

He's not that great, okay? If you put in so much effort and don't get any benefits in the end, what's the difference between being taken advantage of?

After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said, "It seems that if you want to gain something, you have to work hard. Every penny you sow brings you a lot. There is absolutely no free lunch!"

An Dongxin said that you don't know this truth, do you? No wonder I struggled with it for so long.

Of course, it wasn't the first day that Kassinen knew this truth, but he always subconsciously felt that he and Anton were too far from the governor-level figures. It is too dangerous to be an enemy of such a big man, and it is better to avoid nature.

Unexpectedly, Anton told him that the governor was not a big man, and they could make the governor suffer without underestimating themselves.

"How can Count Dmitry Milutin reach Kiev?" Kassinin asked.

"It should be soon," Anton said worriedly at this point: "It's just that there are rebels around. Even if the count rushes here, it will not be so easy to enter Kiev!"

This is indeed a big problem. Even Kassinin knows that there are rebels active around Kiev. What if there is really the main force of the rebels?

Kassinin knew that the main force of the rebel army was not that easy to deal with, otherwise the troops Ulanov sent to counter the rebellion would not have been beaten up, let alone let the rebel army sweep across most of Ukraine.

It was precisely because the rebels were so strong that Ulanov was blocked in Kiev, which made this guy only want to make money.

Thinking of this, Kassinin asked worriedly: "How many troops does Count Dmitry have?"

Anton shook his head. Li Xiao just sent a letter telling him that Dmitry was ordered to come to suppress the rebellion, and hoped that he would cooperate fully, but he did not tell him how many troops were there to suppress the rebellion.

But, Anton also knows what the country is like now, there is a lack of money everywhere~www.readwn.com~ It is simply unrealistic to expect St. Petersburg to send hundreds of thousands of people to counter the rebellion in one go.

He felt thankful that the counter-insurgency army had 100,000 people.

So he warned: "Don't expect too much. The treasury has no money at all. It is impossible to dispatch too many troops to counter the rebellion. I estimate that the counter-insurgency operation will be very difficult. You'd better be psychologically prepared for the worst."

Cassinin was astonished, because the worst mental preparation was what he hadn't counted at all.

"No matter what, it won't be less than 100,000 horses?" He asked cautiously.

"I don't know, and it's hard to say," Anton replied bluntly, "but I think that's the number at most!"

Kassinin suddenly became cold. Others don't know how many rebels there are in Ukraine, how can he not know? According to the most optimistic estimate, the number of rebels is more than 300,000.

Although these rebels are scattered across the vast land of Ukraine, it doesn't seem like a big deal when they spread out. But according to the information obtained in the previous paragraph, most of the rebels are actually concentrated around important cities in Ukraine, such as Kharkov, and Kiev!

Even by the most optimistic estimate, there are around 150,000 rebels around Kiev, and the lowest minimum will not be less than 100,000.

What, you said that this is similar to Dmitry's troops, but you have to know that Dmitry's troops cannot all enter Ukraine in one go, and it takes time to dispatch troops to organize supplies. If you enter Ukraine for the whole month, it will be considered fast.

Therefore, Dmitry's troops in the early stage will never be too many. How can such a small number of troops solve the rebels around Kiev?

Kassinin is very aware of the huge demand for supplies in Kiev. Without the continuous delivery of various supplies from surrounding areas, hundreds of thousands of people in Kiev will have problems eating, okay?
