Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 1113: most important quality

The adjutant Konstantin Nikolaevich stared at Dmitri without saying a word. Only then did he realize that Dmitri was serious. I am afraid that Colonel Alexander Vasilyevich would Bad luck!

Of course, he soon realized that it wasn't just Alexander Vasilyevich who was unlucky, he was also unlucky!

After all, he just spoke for Alexander Vasilyevich. Although this is not a big problem, considering the seriousness of Dmitry's attitude, he is obviously very unhappy about it.

As an adjutant, if he offended the boss, it would be almost tantamount to self-destructing his career. Suddenly Konstantin Nikolaevich became nervous!

"General, I didn't...I didn't mean to..."

Dmitry reached out his hand to stop him, and said solemnly: "Konstantin Nikolaevich, as an adjutant, you are the eyes and ears of my observation troops, and you need to give me truthful feedback. This is the most basic requirement... But I haven't seen you perform this responsibility very well during this period of time, and I'm really disappointed!"

Konstantin Nikolayevich swallowed, feeling more and more that his future was not good. It's just that he didn't dare to argue or even interrupted, because Dmitri's expression was really serious and shocking!

Dmitry looked into his eyes and said solemnly: "To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with your work in the past period, which makes me feel more and more that it is a mistake to agree to His Majesty's request to let you be my adjutant."

Konstantin Nikolaevich swallowed again, and couldn't help but start thinking about what would happen if he was returned or simply driven back to Fort St. Pump.

First of all, he will become a laughing stock. The aristocrats are not all good things, but their reputation is more important than anything else. If a nobleman does not have a good reputation, it means he has no future.

Secondly, in order for him to become Dmitry's adjutant, his father spent a lot of money, whether it was dredging the relationship in the army or dredging the relationship in the palace, it was not just money!

If he was driven back in such a disheveled manner, it would mean that everything before was in vain. It is conceivable that his old man would swallow him alive!

Finally, in the longer term, it was almost impossible for him to seek a similar position in the future. Dmitry judged him unqualified, so who will use an unqualified adjutant in the future?

At least those with status and real power, especially those who have a good relationship with Dmitry will never use him!

In an instant, Konstantin Nikolaevich felt his heart go cold, and he felt that he had fallen into a bottomless pit. If he had known Dmitri's attitude earlier, he would not have followed Dmitry if he was killed. Alexander Vasilyevich mixed.

When Konstantin Nikolayevich was in a mess, Dmitry also watched the adjutant again.

From his point of view, this guy's performance is really bad, not because he is on the wrong team. As the "proud son" from a traditional aristocratic family, it is not surprising that he will be on the side of Alexander Vasilyevich .

Since they are the same kind of people themselves, it is not surprising that he covers for Alexander Vasilyevich, it would be strange if he did not.

Dmitry understands his position, it is quite normal for a young man like him to make such a choice. Wrong, but not surprising.

Dmitry made similar mistakes when he was young, but the difference was that he was not panicked. He remembered arguing with Prince Vorontsov, explaining in detail why and why he did it. And the duke patiently explained his mistake.

All in all, it was a very useful exchange and he learned a lot from it.

Just imagine, if he was as frightened as a quail like Konstantin Nikolayevich at that time, without any explanation, without daring to say anything, would Prince Vorontsov still look at him high?

Certainly not!

It's not terrible for an adjutant to make mistakes. Young people will make mistakes. What makes mistakes is that they don't know how to think or communicate.

This is terrible, because such a person will never become a military officer in his own right. In the future, as long as I encounter pressure, I will waver, and finally become a sad answerer and head-knocker who has no independent opinions.

Dmitry felt that Konstantin Nikolayevich had the potential to become a respondent, and his timid and timid appearance really didn't look like a responsible man!

This is what **** him off the most!

Who told you that you are the nephew of Prince Bariatinsky, thank God for giving you a good fetus, even if you are not a man, I have to take care of nurturing you!

Dmitry sighed, he knew what Alexander II meant by inserting Prince Bariatinsky's nephew. As Alexander II's most trusted general in the military, Bariatinsky and him are the pillars of Alexander II's force. The more powerful the two of them cooperate and the tacit understanding, the more stable Alexander II's position will be.

Therefore, it is for granted that the Tsar hoped that he and Bariatinsky would have a harmonious relationship.

Letting him bring Bariatinsky's nephew with him will create an additional bond between them and a bridge of communication in the future.

And Dmitry really can't refuse this bond, at least he can't just drive Konstantin Nikolaevich away like this, that's tantamount to dumping Bariatinsky, and even hitting Alexander II's face.

He can only reluctantly educate this problem child!

Yes~www.readwn.com~ Konstantin Nikolaevich is a child who has not grown up in Dmitri's view. He is really naive and has no responsibility and needs to be trained.

"Do you know what the most important quality of a soldier is?" Dmitry asked suddenly.

Konstantin Nikolaevich was obviously taken aback, and he didn't quite understand why Dmitry would ask this question. Aren't we talking about Alexander Vasilyevich? What does the most important quality of a soldier have to do with this?

His mind was in a mess, and he always felt that this was Dmitri's test and beating on him. Maybe this was what the other party was hinting at him?

After hesitating for a while, he tentatively replied, "Are you obeying orders?"

He felt that his answer should be pretty much the same. Didn't he make a mistake because he didn't obey Dmitry's order absolutely.

But Dmitry snorted coldly, and corrected him very displeasedly: "The most important quality of a soldier is strength! Stronger than steel!"
