Struggle in Russia

Paskovich's face darkened visibly, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Kornilov coldly. Everyone in the room felt that a storm was brewing, and suddenly everyone was silent and did not dare to say anything.

"You mean what I said is wrong?" Lao Qiu Ba asked unhappily.

This question made everyone feel scared again. Who doesn't know how high Paskovich's reputation and status are in the military. Who does not know how close his personal relationship with Nicholas I was?

Let's put it this way, Lao Qiu Ba's thunderous anger could at least make the Russian officialdom tremble, if not talk about mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

No one wants to have a head-on conflict with this old guy, it is just like looking for a fight. So even if everyone knew that he had made a mistake or done something wrong, at most it would just be a sideways reminder.

Even more often, everyone just pretends not to see it, and Lao Qiu Ba is just happy.

Now that Kornilov is directly attacking Lao Qiuba's fault, who can't help but sweat?

Of course, these people are not worried about Kornilov more, but they are worried that Kornilov will be harmed if he angers Paskovich.

No one wanted to be tricked "inexplicably", so naturally everyone stared at Kornilov in unison, using various looks and expressions to signal Kornilov not to seek death, and that it was best to surrender and calm down. Make it easy for everyone.

The problem is that Kornilov also has a temper. Yes, Paskovich has high prestige and power and is not easy to mess with.

But if you just let him do whatever he wants for this reason, that goes against the most basic ethics of a nobleman!

He, Kornilov, is the Vice Admiral of the Russian Navy and the deputy commander of the Black Sea Fleet appointed by the Tsar. He is not a slave or follower of Paskovich!

He is a minister of the Tsar, not a slave of Paskovich!

It is simply wishful thinking for him to be submissive to this old Qiu Ba!

Damn it Paskovich, I just don’t like you and won’t tolerate your mistakes. What’s wrong! You have the guts to kill me!

Kornilov, who was extremely angry, made up his mind to ignore the various hints of those weaklings and peacemakers, and answered bluntly: "Yes, I think you are wrong, and how wrong it is!"

Okay! As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people around him changed drastically. No one expected that Kornilov would dare to be tough in the face of everyone's suggestions and opposition.

Doesn't this person know what he is doing? Is he so stubborn that he dares to ignore unspoken rules and respect superiors and inferiors?

Or is he just a fool?

But how could a fool become the deputy commander of the Black Sea Fleet and lead the fleet to create a series of brilliant victories?

Just when everyone was wondering why Kornilov was so angry, Kornilov continued:

"Your Excellency, Marshal, last night General Nakhimov and I took the trouble to remind you that it is never advisable to launch an attack blindly, especially in a dense formation... But what about you? You refuted us ruthlessly and called us cowards. And cowards. Now what?"

As he spoke, Kornilov sighed with emotion and said angrily: "Now I only see you sending our soldiers to hell with your own hands, and then you are extremely irresponsible and said that they are also cowards and cowards!"

"This is nonsense and an insult to those warriors who sacrificed their lives heroically! It is absolutely unacceptable! At least I personally find it unacceptable!"

"I think there is only one reason for today's disastrous defeat: you miscalculated the strength of the enemy and ourselves, and did not expect that the enemy's new weapons were so powerful. It turns out that the old tactics can no longer adapt to the current battle."

"If we want to defeat the extremely powerful enemy in front of us, we must abandon those outdated and outdated tactical ideas and actively introduce new equipment. There is no other way!"

Kornilov said all the words in his heart in one breath, which was called a joy. It's just that he felt happy, but some people's faces were very ugly.

The first person to bear the brunt was of course Paskovich. Lao Qiu Ba was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his right hand held the crutch so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

As for his face, which was even more eggplant-colored, anyone who knew him well could tell that the old man was so angry that his chest was filled with flames and he would spit out fire when he opened his mouth.

"You are so brave!"

Paskovich paused his crutches tremblingly and said viciously: "How dare you say these bastard words to me, new weapons? New tactics? These are...all things that only liberal rebels care about. !”

"Great Russia doesn't need this. We who defeated Napoleon have proven that courage is more important than anything else. As long as we have the courage..."

As he spoke, he hammered his chest hard and shouted proudly: "It's enough to crush all enemies, including the current so-called enemies with new weapons!"

Paskovich's stubbornness did not surprise Nakhimov at all, he knew that this old guy would not reflect. It would not be a big deal to sacrifice some serf soldiers who were just gray animals to him.

To him, it doesn't matter how many people die if he can win, so expecting to shock him through sacrifice is simply a fantasy.

Now Nakhimov, disappointed, is most worried about Kornilov. With his personality, he will definitely continue to argue with Lao Qiu Ba, and Lao Qiu Ba will never admit his mistakes. Maybe the two of them will get into a fight.

Of course, when it comes to debating and discussing the truth, Kornilov is very reasonable, but the problem is that Lao Qiuba is not unreasonable at all. If you reason with him, he will talk to you with his fists. If you can't win with your fists, he will use his power to kill you. .

He didn't want his good friend to be persecuted because of this, it would be a shame.

So as soon as Lao Qiuba finished speaking, he was ready to interrupt and interrupt the argument. Unfortunately, Kornilov was much faster than him.

hehe!

Kornilov sneered: "New weapons are not important? New tactics are not important? So the soldiers we lost and injured today were just unlucky enough to hit the enemy's guns and muzzles?"

"This is the second most shameless and stupid thing I've heard today. Only an idiot with a head full of stones, no! Only an idiot with a head full of shit would tell such nonsense with his eyes open!"

"If you are going to use these reasons to tell His Majesty and explain to him why so many soldiers were killed or wounded in one morning, then I just want to say that you think His Majesty is too stupid!"

As he spoke, he laughed wildly and taunted: "And don't worry, don't try to use those disgusting methods to cover up the truth. I will truthfully report everything that happened this morning to Your Majesty. I won't even bring this lawsuit to St. Petersburg." Stop, I will definitely seek justice for those people who unfortunately were killed by you!"
