Struggle in Russia

Although Li Xiao is fully prepared, even if Wallachia leaves the control of Russia again after the Crimean War, he has backup means, but he still hopes that this day will never come.

It’s just that these things are not his turn to make decisions. In the past two years, Nicholas I has become more and more excited. He really regards himself as the savior of Europe. His arrogance makes his ambitions swell day by day, and he takes risks. One day is really not far away.

“Leonid’s letter!”

Li Xiao, who was immersed in his thoughts, was awakened by a call. He didn’t need to look up to know that it was Boris. Only this polar bear’s voice was so loud and bold.

Boris’s body shape is getting stronger and stronger, unlike other nobles after marriage that quickly loses their shape. His muscles are getting stronger and stronger, more and more like a devil muscle man.

Leonid was no longer in Bucharest at this time, because the relationship with Turkey continued to be tense, this self-assertion applied to Nicholas I to go to the south of Wallachia to train the troops. Now appointed by King Nicholas I and Grand Duke Kogelniceanu as Commander of the Southern Army of the Grand Duchy of Wallachia, this appointment allowed him to successfully cross the threshold of a school-level officer and is now a major general in infantry.

To be honest, Li Xiao actually disagreed with Leonid’s training in southern Wallachia, because in his opinion Wallachia’s importance could not be compared to Bucharest. In particular, he vacated the position of Bucharest City Defense Commander as soon as he left. In the past two years, because Wallachia has become rich and rich, more and more people are coveting this side. The reforms of Li Xiao and Alexei urgently need the support of the military. Leonid’s move reduced their control of Bucharest by one dimension.

Anyway, at that time, Li Xiao bluntly opposed Leonid’s going to the south of Wallachia. He hoped that Leonid could stay in Bucharest. Unfortunately, the sage brother would not be able to bring back the nine cows once he made a decision. The master.

The result of that conversation was naturally unhappy, and Leonid finally left, making Li Xiao horrified.

“What does the letter say?” Vishniak asked.

Boris looked at Li Xiao and then at Vishniak. Although his polar bear was dull, he didn’t know anything. After Li Xiao and Leonid broke up last time, he clearly felt that there was a problem between them.

Before Li Xiao heard Leonid’s letter, he would definitely ask questions enthusiastically, but now he hasn’t even raised his head, he is completely indifferent.

This look made Boris feel uncomfortable. He liked the previous feeling better. At that time, although the group of them had a hopeless future, they could only fight with each other in the 748 group, but their hearts were twisted from one place to another. It was the brothers who made a concerted effort. gold.

And now, even if they are all five and six people, they feel that their feelings have faded for no reason. Boris didn’t like this feeling at all, as if he had lost something precious!

After a moment of silence, he replied: “The letter mentioned his experience in the south, and focused on his feelings about training soldiers. He was very satisfied with the new rifle, but felt that the bullets were too expensive…”

The so-called new rifle was naturally produced by Li Xiao, the latest product produced by the arsenal joint venture between him and the Duke Mikhail. As usual, Russia is definitely not interested in purchasing. For Nicholas I, the old-fashioned rifle was the most reliable reliance, and he was not interested in spending the wronged money!

Naturally, these new rifles can only be tried in Wallachia. Anyway, Alexei is the governor. He said that he wanted to purchase a new rifle, Kogelniceanu, and he could not object to it. He could only pay for it.

Although this new rifle that uses edge-fired ammunition is still a single-shot rifle, its rate of fire is at least three times faster than that of the old rifle. A well-trained gunner can shoot fifteen rounds a minute just like playing.

Although this is not comparable to the magazine rifle of the subsequent revolving back-pull bolt action, this era is truly revolutionary. Leonid was very satisfied with this new weapon anyway, and he almost yelled for another shot.

Anyway, Leonid felt that if he were given 100,000 soldiers equipped with new rifles, it would be no problem to flatten Turkey, and it would not be impossible to even beat European powers.

“If he knew that France and Britain had begun to popularize similar or even better rifles, he would not be so optimistic!”

Li Xiao’s words were like a basin of cold water, just poured it down. Both Boris and Vishniak were a little stunned, because before, even if he had a disagreement with Leonid, he would not object so sharply. Now he really feels a little bit of arrogance and confrontation.

Vishniak and Boris glanced at each other, and both saw the worry in the eyes of each other. They felt that this could not go on any longer. It was obvious that everyone was good friends, so why did they compete so much?

“Andre, are you being too harsh on Leonid!” Vishniak said deliberately.

Boris also nodded in agreement: “Yes, even if he suddenly goes south to make us a little passive, it won’t be…”

Boris did not come up with a suitable adjective when he searched his stomach, and caused Li Xiao to roll his eyes. UU reading www.uukanshu.com he replied in an angry manner: “Where does he make us a little passive, he makes us extremely passive! You didn’t see what the new **** looks like!”

The so-called new **** is Vladimir Alekseyevich Nikolaev. This is the Bucharest City Defense Commander newly appointed by Nicholas I and a major cavalry.

This one really didn’t deal with Alexei, or he didn’t put Alexei in his eyes at all. The reason is also very simple. Who makes a good dad!

This product is actually the illegitimate son of Nicholas I, but it was adopted by the Marquis Nikolayev. Although Nicholas I was very harsh on these illegitimate children, he almost never looked at them with his eyes, but everyone knew This is just the disguise and reservedness of Nicholas I. In fact, he still cares about these sons.

For example, this Vladimir, although his ability is mediocre, but Nicholas I still gave him a fatness. And he was promoted to major cavalry at the age of 29, which is one of the few in the Russian army.

All in all, after arriving in Wallachia with a deep self-sustaining background, he was a bit outrageous. He did not deal with Alexei and Li Xiao on many issues. Less than three months after he was in office, there had been conflicts between the two sides. As many as five or six times, Li Xiao and Alexei were bothered!
