Struggle in Russia

Alexey also felt aggrieved. He was speechless when he thought about how hard they had spent to figure out the secrets inside, but in the end they could do nothing and could only watch.

Anyway, he had no desire to speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking as he sat there.

After a while, Li Xiao took the initiative to break the silence: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I received a message from Leonid in the afternoon. He has almost cleaned up the chaos in Moldavia and asked what to do next."

The suppression of the rebellion in Moldavia did not surprise Alexey at all. Those guys had limited strength to begin with, and now that they did not have the behind-the-scenes forces in St. Petersburg to protect them, they naturally could not make any waves.

It's just that the most important thing in countering rebellion is not to eliminate the rebel parties, but to stabilize order in Moldavia. To be honest, at the level of Grand Duke Constantine, if left unchecked, there would be a rebellion in Moldavia sooner or later.

"Are you thinking about Kostya?" Alexey asked.

Li Xiao nodded candidly and said: "Moldavia can't let chaos happen again, and Kostya is not a man of his word. He has to guard against it!"

Alexey nodded understandingly: "It is indeed necessary to have a good talk with him. Should you go or should I go?"

Li Xiao shook his head and said: "We are not suitable. The situation here is too complicated. We must stay in Wallachia. My opinion is to let Vishnyak go..."

Alexey was stunned because he remembered that Li Xiao had just told Vishnyak to be responsible for contacting Bulgaria and inciting them to fight guerrillas. Why was he suddenly asked to go to Moldavia?

Could it be that Li Xiao changed his mind?

"I haven't changed my mind," Li Xiao shook his head and said, "Vishniak still has to be responsible for Bulgaria's affairs, we just asked him to make one more trip to Chisinau. He is the most suitable candidate, Boris is really not suitable Do this..."

Boris was certainly not suitable, but Alexei had no confidence in Vishnyak either. After all, Grand Duke Constantine was not an ordinary person. For ordinary people, let alone warning him, it would be good if he would not be at a loss when seeing him.

Even if Vishnyak is not an ordinary person, it is not reliable to teach a powerful prince a lesson with his weight!

"Vishnyak is our best and only choice," Li Xiao said slowly, "otherwise, who would you let go? Leonid?"

Alexey suddenly smiled bitterly, it would be a damn thing if Leonid could do this job.

He sighed and said, "When do you plan for Vishniak to set off?"

"The sooner the better! Because he has to go to Constantinople to meet the Bulgarians!"

Alexey was surprised. He didn't expect Li Xiao to be so anxious. He also thought that the work of instigating the Bulgarians was still in its early stages, and he was still trying to make connections. Who would have thought that the bridge has been built? What kind of efficiency is this!

Li Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Our situation is very tight, so we can only step up our actions!" He also added meaningfully: "We don't have much time left!"

Alexei's heart was hanging again. Although he knew that time was urgent, the urgency was still beyond his imagination.

Gu Da

After thinking for a while, he said: "Then let's go ahead and do it. I have already reached an agreement with Duke Mikhail. The Turks' weapons and equipment are ready, and he can even help us send them to Bulgaria!"

Li Xiao was not very happy when he heard the news. The reason was very simple. Prince Mikhail is not an easy-to-talk master, and it is absolutely impossible to get something from him without paying a price.

But this time he was not as generous as usual. From the side, it also showed that the battlefield situation was very unfavorable. He now desperately needs someone to help him share the pressure.

"Is there a lot of pressure on the Duke?" Li Xiao asked.

Alexey nodded silently. After the Turks received assistance from Britain and France, although their individual combat effectiveness was still not as good as that of the Russian army, their equipment disadvantages were greatly compensated. Especially this group of pagans who are not afraid of death at all. When they charge, one wave after another is really too much to bear.

This week alone, the Russian army on the front line in Constanta repelled more than 50 attacks by the Turkish army of more than a thousand soldiers, and there were countless smaller-scale harassments.

The Russian troops on the front line have been exhausted, and war weariness has begun to spread. A few Wallachia and Moldavia servants have even deserted.

If this continues, although the defense line will not collapse, morale will definitely be ruined. Duke Mikhail urgently needed to boost morale, or in other words, urgently needed a victory to interrupt the Turkish army's rising momentum.

"So he hopes that we can give the Turkish army some color as soon as possible and harass the Turkish army's rear as much as possible?"

Alexey suddenly smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said: "I know that according to your plan, you are not actually planning to attack the Turkish army directly from the beginning, but the pressure on the Duke is great, and his only condition is to let the front line get out of the way as soon as possible. The Turkish army’s attention should be diverted a little..."

There is no need to say Alexey’s next words. Li Xiao has already understood everything. Although he has some complaints about Duke Mikhail’s request, Li Xiao can understand that he has no choice but to do it. If there is no other way, he will not be in a critical condition. Indiscriminate medical treatment.

Li Xiao touched his chin and fell into deep thought. If you want to meet Duke Mikhail's requirements, it will definitely not be enough to rely on those Bulgarians.

Those guys are a complete mob, and they may be barely qualified to bully Turkey's landlords and wealthy people.

But it would be difficult for them to face the Turkish army directly, even if it was just to face heavy logistical troops.

In other words, if they want to fulfill Duke Mikhail's request, Li Xiao and the others must be truly elite.

"It's time to call Boris back!" Li Xiao replied calmly.

Alexey also nodded: "Is it enough to rely on Boris's more than a thousand people?"

"It's definitely not enough!" Li Xiao sighed, "But only his people are the most suitable, and even though the rebellion in Moldavia has subsided, if we allocate too many troops at once, there will still be chaos there. First Asking Boris to go to Bulgaria to make trouble can be regarded as asking for directions!"

Casting stones to ask for directions?

Alexey didn't expect that Li Xiao would say this, and it was obvious that his confidence was not particularly strong. However, this is also understandable. Although Boris's more than a thousand people were trained according to the model of reconnaissance vanguards and have certain experience in activities behind enemy lines, the situation this time is different after all. They are completely separated from their own front and are operating on the enemy's side. They face many challenges. There are more difficulties and troubles than usual!
