Leonid raised his binoculars and carefully checked the conditions of the Turks across the river. Since the outbreak of the Velanovo incident, the border between Wallachia and Bulgaria has entered a state of high combat readiness.

The Turkish army on the opposite side has stepped up patrols, and patrols with live ammunition are patrolling the border all day long. In the past, those Turks were not so diligent, and they would never miss it when they could be lazy.

The Turkish soldiers now feel a little nervous, they will carefully patrol and check anyone who appears in their eyes, especially those sneaky Bulgarians, who are the focus of their investigation.

Leonid had seen through his binoculars that several Orthodox brothers were captured by Turkish soldiers.

To be honest, the Turk’s actions made him very dissatisfied. In his opinion, this was the retaliation of the Turk Hongguoguo. It was revenge for the Bulgarians of Vlanovo and hit them in the face, so they would try their best. Make things difficult for those poor people.

“There is a kind of come at us!”

Leonid murmured bitterly, he just didn’t see the Orthodox brothers being oppressed by Turkey. If Alexey hadn’t strictly banned all provocations, especially wiping off guns, he would have ordered a battalion of men and horses to kill across the river. Go and solve those Turkish clowns.

He had a big quarrel with Alexei about this. He felt that Alexei didn’t care about the life and death of the Bulgarian Orthodox brothers at all. He was a cold-blooded bureaucrat. Moreover, he accused Alexei of becoming increasingly disloyal to Heavenly Father and the State Church, fighting a decisive battle with the Turkish heretics, expelling them and killing them, what’s the problem?

“He was bound by a piece of empty paper…”

Leonid murmured again, and he could hear that he was still complaining about Alexei’s restrictions on him. He sincerely hoped that Nicholas I would immediately be replaced by a Wallachian governor, preferably with a strong and clear attitude. Soldiers come to be the governor.

“General, General Dmitry Miluting, commander of the garrison, is here!”

Leonid was not surprised at Dmitry’s arrival. The above had notified him three days in advance that Dmitry was coming to inspect the situation. This is not to remind Leonid to do some superficial effort to cope with the inspection, because Leonid is very confident in his troops. He feels that all his work can withstand the harshest and most demanding inspections, and there will be no Flaws.

Naturally, if the upper person wants to check, he will check it out. Leonid is confident anyway. Even if he felt that he had time to inform him of such trivial things, he might as well think more about how to help those poor Bulgarian Orthodox brothers on the other side of the river!

“Stand at attention, salute!”

Dmitry’s ostentation is not great, he can even be regarded as a light car Jane, except for the adjutant and three guards, he did not bring one more person.

This made Leonid feel a little better for him, because he had already seen too many Russian generals who urged hundreds of people to clear the way. What’s the use of that kind of ostentation, besides bluffing people, it doesn’t help the inspection work at all.

On the contrary, it will increase the burden on the reception staff. With so many free mouths out of thin air, one meal or two is enough. If it is a long-term inspection, it will simply make the scalp numb, OK!

While Leonid was thinking about these, Dmitry was also observing the young noble general. When he himself was so young, he didn’t get the rank of major general. In fact, he is just a lieutenant general now.

However, considering Leonid’s family background, the power of his uncle, Duke Mikhail, is enough to make him even at a young age. What’s more, his reputation in the army is still very good. He has established a meritorious service, not the kind of embroidered embroidered pillow that hides in the headquarters.

If it were normal, Dmitry would be happy to have such a young and capable guy under his command. But now, he only felt that Leonid was a troublesome thorn.

For the Russian troops stationed in Wallachia, Dmitry clearly defined the focus of the next phase of work when he took office, that is, to improve the defense facilities and prepare to stand on the spot. He clearly asked the troops to treat this matter as a top priority.

Although this order has caused some controversy within the garrison, with Dmitry’s status and authority, no one dared to counter him clearly, except Leonid!

Yes, Leonid expressed strong dissatisfaction after receiving the order. He wrote a very long letter to Dmitry, which probably meant that defensive garrison is meaningless, and the garrison should focus on the offensive. Tactics, be prepared to attack tough ones. He even bluntly said that only cowardly cowards would choose to defend when facing the Turkish army.

Demetrius read this letter several times. He admitted that Leonid was a very passionate and infectious general. His friendship with religion and Orthodox brothers was sincere and enthusiastic, like a raging flame.

But this kind of thing is meaningless to Dmitry. Although he believes in religion, he is not superstitious and has no interest in things like the Crusades of the New Age. Moreover, Count Rostovtsev and Li Xiao repeatedly analyzed the situation for him. He also agreed with these two viewpoints, thinking that it was meaningless to start Bulgaria and even the loss outweighed the gain.

Naturally he was not interested in the liberation of Bulgaria, and Leonid’s enthusiastic speeches were naturally a secret cast. Dmitry’s reply to him is very simple, just a few words-execute the order!

This made Leonid somewhat disappointed with the newly appointed commander of the garrison. If it weren’t for Dmitry’s next vigorous style and methods to make the combat readiness work into the fast lane, he would probably Directly leapfrogged up and said that Dmitry was incompetent.

Let’s put it this way, these two people look at each other somewhat unpleasantly. In Dmitry’s eyes, Leonid is stingy and stunned, but in Leonid’s eyes, Dmitry is cowardly. Coward.

“General, I have no idea why you ordered the construction of these meaningless fortifications!”

Frozen green Leonid is a confession, his suggestion in the letter was ruthlessly rejected last time, but this does not mean that he has succumbed. Opposite Demeter this time, he immediately revisited the old thing and yelled aggressively.

Dmitri had a headache, and now he understood why Li Xiao had told him before that it was better to transfer Leonid away. Such a guy who fired indiscriminately regardless of the occasion and his identity, it was indeed a trouble to keep it.

He could not say that he was not optimistic about the war with Turkey this time, so he could only answer vaguely: “The mission of our garrison is to ensure the safety of Wallachia, so what’s the problem with doing a good job of defense?!”
