Struggle in Russia

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】【】

Chapter 1318 Leonid is coming back. Page (1/2) Li Xiao also felt quite tired of Alexei’s rants. Thinking about that scene, carrying Grand Duke Constantine A bust paraded through the streets?

It is to celebrate that he messed up Moldavia and delayed the Crimean War. Or is it to celebrate his usual blindness and mischief?

Anyway, this news sounds quite speechless. It is a typical case of people who do not know the truth being coerced and exploited by a small group of people with ulterior motives!

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xiao didn't know how to evaluate the news, so he simply didn't say anything.

Judging from the current situation, in the future, the Grand Duke Constantine will probably continue to use various weird ways and means to attract attention.

So you really have to get used to it now, otherwise you might be disgusted in the future.

"Let's not talk about him," Li Xiao sighed: "Mentioning him makes people sick to their stomachs, just like a toad that can't scare people but is disgusting!"

These words made Alexey laugh, and he compared Grand Duke Constantine with a toad in his mind. Don't tell me that he really tastes like that. This pretentious Grand Duke is just a toad!

"Leonid is coming back soon!"

Just when Li Xiao was getting tired of it, Alexei suddenly dropped such news, which surprised him again.

If he remembered correctly, Leonid went to Paris to serve as the embassy attaché for more than a year, right? Come back so soon?

He blinked and said, "Why come back so soon? Doesn't he want to study for two more years?"

After hearing this, Alexei sighed, curled his lips and said: "According to the original plan, it should be one or two years away, but he wrote a letter saying that he had fully inspected the situation of French industry and armaments and believed that the gap was very big. I must come back quickly to revive the army..."

Okay, this sounds pretty good. The stubborn little guy finally figured it out. He knows how big the gap is with the world’s advanced level and wants to work hard to catch up.

Li Xiao just wanted to say what Alexey said: "Of course, the main reason is that the Ukrainian rebellion broke out. He, a militant, can't stay outside any longer, and he wants to come back to quell the rebellion and perform meritorious deeds..."

Li Xiao was speechless for a while. He could imagine that he might not be able to stay outside after hearing the news of the outbreak of the rebellion. For him, counterinsurgency and meritorious service are secondary. The most important thing is to maintain the country's ruling order and eradicate all those chaotic parties.

In this regard, it would be an understatement to say that he hates evil as much as he hates it.

Li Xiao could imagine that he was writing letters one after another asking to join the war, and maybe he was still trying to find connections through the back door. I'm afraid it's time to return home!

This really makes people wonder whether he has done serious research outside. I hope he won't do it half-heartedly!

Alexey seemed to have noticed Li Xiao's worry and said quickly: "He is still very serious in doing research outside. He writes to me almost every day, telling me about his experiences and experiences, almost everything is down to the smallest details, even small things like eating and traveling." To tell the truth..."

Li Xiao smiled. He knew very well what Alexei was worried about. The reason why Leonid went abroad for inspection before was because of the differences between him and Li Xiao. Leonid was not convinced and did not think that Russia needed to conduct a thorough investigation. reform.

Li Xiao was no match for the debate. He was very angry and could only go out unconvinced. Seeing is believing. It is normal for Li Xiao to doubt whether he really realizes the necessity and urgency of reform.

As a friend of both parties, Alexey naturally hopes that the two friends can work together. Although Leonid is a bit stubborn, overall he is still a good person. After all, he is better than Grand Duke Constantine, right?

Li Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, at least Leonid is still wholeheartedly doing things, while Grand Duke Constantine is full of tricks, and he does big things at the expense of small gains and forgets his righteousness. There is a huge difference between the two sides!"

Alexey quickly said: "That's okay, I think he was greatly shocked during this trip, and he probably won't stick to those old ideas anymore!"

Li Xiao was noncommittal about this. Although he did not spend as much time with Leonid as Alexei, his understanding of him was definitely better than Alexei's. Some people are stubborn and conservative because of their interests. For example, Alexander II and Count Uvarov fall into this category.

But there is another type of stubborn and conservative people who really believe the nonsense of the above people, which is equivalent to being brainwashed. Even if the reform can make them a lot of money, they will never say that the reform is good, let alone Support reform.

Their conservative stubbornness is completely due to the rigidity of their thinking, and it is not an ordinary difficulty to reverse it.

Unfortunately, Leonid is infinitely close to this type of person in some aspects. He believes in the creed he firmly believes in, and has the honor of the nobility and the maintenance of traditional order engraved in his genes.

Even though he went out to see the world and saw the huge energy brought by the new trend of thought, he still had the same old ideas in his mind. At most, it was similar to the Westernization Movement carried out in China at the same time. , in the final analysis, we still stick to the same old ways and are unwilling to change.

However, given the occasion and atmosphere, Li Xiao didn't want to complain too much. He could only smile lightly and said: "I hope so. When will he come back?"

Seeing Li Xiao's acceptance, Alexey said happily: "It will probably be this month, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com should have arrived in Berlin by now..."

Li Xiao was surprised. Normally Leonid should return home quickly, so it would be faster to return by boat through the Baltic Sea. But why did he go to Berlin again?

Alexey smiled and explained: "Originally he was going to take the boat, but Dmitry Milutinbo

Chapter 1318 Leonid is coming back (2/2) Hasn’t the rebellion been put down by the Duke? Even if he rushed back, there would be no battle to fight, so he decided to inspect all the way back to see the situation in Prussia and Austria... He felt that one of these two countries would definitely have to fight with us in the future, so he needed to investigate the enemy's situation in advance! "

Li Xiao was really surprised at this time. He really didn't expect Leonid to be of this level, and he could see that Russia's relations with Prussia and Austria would not be good in the future.

Isn't that right? In the future war, the two sides would fight, which would directly lead to the demise of all three empires. The subsequent World War II would fight to the point where every last drop of blood was shed.

After hearing this, Li Xiao suddenly had some expectations for Leonid. Maybe this trip abroad really woke him up?

Alexey, on the other hand, was talking endlessly about Leonid's interesting stories. It could be seen that his mood was really high, and he seemed to be looking forward to having his friends work together again to do something big.

At the end Alexey suddenly said: "It seems that you and Duke Alexander Gorchakov have similar views. Neither of you hopes that Leonid will come back so soon. When you heard that he was coming back, you scolded him severely. Fan…”
