Struggle in Russia

Alexey knew that Duke Mikhail was anxious, but he didn't expect him to be so anxious. In his opinion, sabotage behind enemy lines is nothing more than a small fuss. Even if it can cause some trouble for the enemy, it is unrealistic to expect it to share the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

It's just that Duke Mikhail specially sent someone to urge him, but he had to make a gesture. He entertained Duke Mikhail's adjutant pleasantly, and then told him that everything was going smoothly and there would be results soon.

Of course, after the adjutant left, Alexei also changed his expression. Although he didn't pay much attention to this matter, he also knew that according to Li Xiao's plan, he would first strengthen the training of the Bulgarians and help them train qualified soldiers as soon as possible. Then they will intervene in the battle.

If the Bulgarians are better trained, it is very likely that Boris's people will not directly intervene in the battle, but will be engaged in training and ensuring the safety of fund transportation.

Alexey hopes that it is best that this is the case. It is best not to play if one of your own does not play. Bullets have short eyes, so let the Bulgarians fill the holes themselves.

"It's not that simple," Li Xiao sighed after hearing about the incident: "Vishniak and Boris said that the Bulgarians have a big problem. On the surface, there are quite a few people organized, but most of them are just a ragtag group of people with little fighting capacity." Not worth mentioning at all.”

As he spoke, he sighed again and continued: "And the composition is complicated. Many of them are serfs and servants of the local nobles. In fact, they are their private armies. These guys are following the instructions but not the propaganda, and they just want to take advantage of us. Free weapons and ammunition..."

Alexey opened his mouth, wanting to curse, but he had already been mentally prepared for this. The Bulgarian's coquettish behavior seemed too normal to him. Everyone has selfish motives. His and Li Xiao's selfish motives are to grab some money from Bulgaria, and it is reasonable for the Bulgarians to have selfish motives and get weapons from them for free!

Anyway, everyone gets what they need due to their own interests, so it’s not appropriate to insist on going online.

"Then what is Vishnyak going to do? It's impossible to give them weapons and ammunition for free, right?"

"Of course not. He is not that stupid. He has almost reached an agreement. If he wants weapons and ammunition, he has to give something in exchange."

Alexei frowned and asked: "Exchange for something? Money?"

Li Xiao laughed and said: "Both he and the Bulgarians can't be that stupid. Exchanging money is a business, and our purpose is not just to make money, and it's too ugly to make money and eat like that. It's inevitable that we will be hated by the Bulgarians." In my mind...we will be at a huge disadvantage as we play away from home again!"

"Then what is he going to do?"

"Weapons and ammunition have to be exchanged for Turkish heads, which is about three heads plus ten rubles for a rifle..."

Alexey was stunned, because such an operation was simply unheard of. Money may be a small problem for Bulgarians, but it is a big problem for Turks.

If they want weapons and ammunition, they can only massacre the Turks. Seeing that the Turks are not leeks that can be harvested at will.

This forces Bulgaria to become enemies with Turkey, and even if the Bulgarians go out to harvest the Turks, it will always make the Turks crazy, and they will definitely be surrounded and suppressed. At that time, with the firepower of the Bulgarians, it was impossible not to suffer a loss in front of the Turks, and it was impossible to unilaterally strengthen their power.

In this way, the Bulgarians can only bite the bullet and confront the Turks head-on, and they will inevitably have to rely more and more on their assistance, which will be easier to control them.

"What a loss. You must have come up with this idea!"

Faced with Alexei's accusation, Li Xiao spread his hands and said: "I really didn't think of this. I just reminded Vishnyak and asked him to try to make the Bulgarians and Turks enmity. Only in this way can they Only then will they obey our arrangements.”

Alexei asked: "Are the Bulgarians willing to do this?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Of course I won't! It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that there are always those who are bold and unafraid of death. After all, not all Bulgarian nobles have a good life. There are always those who are fed up with enough anger and losses and are ready to risk their lives. Vishniak and Boris found this way A few of them, they are happy to exchange Turkish heads for things!”

Alexei's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe that a Bulgarian would really be fooled, because it was obvious that he was drinking poison to quench his thirst!

Li Xiao replied leisurely: "For some Bulgarians, drinking poison to quench their thirst is better than starving to death on the spot!"

Alexey suddenly stopped talking. If it was a few years ago, he would not have believed it, but now he has seen too many living conditions of the people at the bottom, and he knows that for those who are desperate, as long as they have a mouth to eat, they can eat anything. All are willing to do it.

Li Xiao added: "Of course, these people are still relatively small, so we must add fuel to the fire!"

Alexei subconsciously knew that this fire would definitely make the Bulgarians more uncomfortable. Someone's clever ideas and cunning operations were no joke.

"what are you planning to do?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "I hope the propaganda department will increase its efforts to report on the great achievements of the Bulgarians behind enemy lines. We must let the whole of Europe notice that they are on our side, especially let the Turks notice that the Bulgarians have done If necessary, you can make up more stories and exaggerate their achievements..."

Alexey couldn't laugh or cry. If Vishnyak's method was only 70% destructive, then Li Xiao's move was extremely vicious. This is putting the Bulgarians on the fire.

Think about it, they are incompatible with the Turks, and then the whole of Europe knows that Russia is turning against Turkey for Bulgaria. At this time, the Bulgarians are still stabbing Turkey in the back. Do you think the Turks will make it easier for them?

It's hard to say that some ill-tempered Turks will retaliate. As long as the fire is going on, they will definitely be killed in a group. At that time, they won't be able to stop even if they want to.

Alexey took a deep breath and admired Li Xiao's despicableness. Only a mind like his could come up with such a vicious and disgusting conspiracy.

"The Bulgarians will probably be pissed off by you!" he sighed.

"That's what they asked for!" Li Xiao replied nonchalantly.

Yes, he had a really bad opinion of the Bulgarian nobility. Although the main responsibility for this war lies with Nicholas I's ambition. But, some Bulgarian nobles also played a role in supporting the fire. If they hadn't been jumping up and down, Nicholas I might not have been so determined, but after the war broke out, the performance of these guys was really speechless.

Li Xiao felt that it was reasonable for them to pay a price!
