Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao was far less optimistic than Vishniak and Petukhov. He asked the question straight to the point: "What does it mean to complete the task before July 1? This is too general. Without specific indicators, how can we measure whether we have completed the task?" ? What should I do when the time comes? "

Kornilov immediately showed appreciation. He felt that the teacher Lazarev was right about Li Xiao. This not-so-reputable bastard grand duke is indeed shrewd and meticulous, so don't try to hide any problems from his eyes.

When he was bargaining with his superiors at first, and when the superiors offered this favorable condition, even he was a little careless, not aware of the hidden traps in this task requirement.

Complete the task before July 1st, how do you call it completed? How do you call it unfinished? If there are no specific quantitative indicators, Li Xiao and the others feel that they have completed it, but the higher-ups deliberately make things difficult for you and insist that you have not completed it. At that time, wouldn't you want to cry without tears.

Fortunately, Lazarev discovered this problem at that time, and immediately questioned how to complete the task. After some bargaining, he set a specific goal.

"To be specific, your task is to find out the city defense situation of the three cities, find out the specific number and designation of the defenders, and it is best to get a defense map. These three cities are Iasi, Canada in Moldavia. Rats and Bucharest of Wallachia."

Iasi is located in the hilly forest of northern Moldavia, very close to Bessarabia (later Moldova), which was annexed by Russia after the Eighth Russo-Turkish War, almost on the border. The city is very important and is known as the cradle of Romanian culture.

Galati is located in the southeast of Moldavia and is also close to Bessarabia. The city is located on the lower reaches of the Danube, and its southeast is the Danube Delta. It is a port city connected to the Black Sea by water. In the middle of the 19th century, it was regarded as an important sea port in Moldavia.

As for Bucharest, this city needs no introduction. In the future, the capital of Romania will also be the capital of the Principality of Wallachia, a very important hub city.

These three cities are indeed very important key points, but in terms of geographical location and importance, Bucharest is undoubtedly more important, and it is more difficult to detect.

Unlike Iasi and Galati, which are very close to Bessarabia. Bucharest goes deep into the hinterland of Wallachia, and it doesn't even border Bessarabia, and there is no way to cross the border and enter directly.

To get to Bucharest you have to go through Moldavia, and the shortest route is to Galati and then into Wallachia. This road has to cross two national borders, and it is completely difficult to be alone in the enemy's rear.

It can almost be said that this task is more than ten times more difficult than the previous two,

With Wallachia's anti-Russian attitude, if it doesn't work out, it will be a thousand miles away.

So Kornilov said: "Since the investigation in Bucharest is too difficult, I will divide this mission into two. One team will be responsible for Iasi and Galati, and the other team will be responsible for Bucharest. You can discuss it." How to distribute it, let me know the result!"

After finishing speaking, Kornilov stopped talking nonsense and sat back in his seat without any intention of directly ordering the distribution.

The reason is also very simple, because it is more fair. Even if he liked Li Xiao very much, it was not easy for Petukhov and his young man to die. After all, the source of this trouble was brought by Li Xiao and the others. Petukhov was just unlucky and involved.

Vishniak and Petukhov look at me and I look at you. Kornilov’s way of shaking hands is both gratifying and painful. Neither of them wants to go to the more dangerous Bucharest. How to persuade the other party, or How about a bargain?

Just when the two were muttering to themselves and preparing to make an offer, Li Xiao said directly to Petukhov: "Colonel, we choose Bucharest, you go to Moldavia, our previous grievances are canceled, and then you owe us a favor, how?"

Vishniak was stunned, while Petukhov was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay! Your Excellency the Grand Duke is really refreshing! I have made you a friend. If you have any requests in the future, as long as I, Petukho Husband still has breath, so he is absolutely unambiguous!"

"no problem!"

After speaking, Li Xiao stretched out his right hand to him, and the two sides shook hands tightly. After that, Petukhov stopped talking nonsense, and directly bid farewell to Kornilov and left.

"Andreka, why did you agree like that!" Vishniak was a little anxious, "You don't know what's going on in Bucharest! Even if you choose there, you can add more conditions!"

Judging from what Vishniak said, in fact, he also knew that the blame for Bucharest must have fallen on their heads, and he also knew that he couldn't avoid it. What he was concerned about was whether he could use this to get more benefits from Petukhov, but who would have thought that Li Xiao would immediately seal the deal with one hammer.

Vishniak's performance made Kornilov, who was watching by the side, feel a little bit emotional. The 748 regiment is indeed of a high level. A battalion commander and a deputy battalion commander are of a high level. Knowing that Bucharest will definitely not be able to escape, I didn't even think about it. too evasive.

Unlike some idiots who know the situation is irreversible and want to make unnecessary efforts, these two are directly planning how to take advantage of it to make more money.

"Vishka, that's not necessary," Li Xiao said indifferently, "Colonel Petukhov is actually a nice person, having more friends is always a good thing. And this is actually because we got him in the way, so there's no need Take advantage of this little bit more..."

Speaking of this, Li Xiao suddenly smiled evilly and said: "What's more, in my opinion, we actually took advantage of choosing Bucharest!"

Vishniak was stunned, but not only him, Kornilov was also stunned. They all thought that Bucharest was a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, and going there was like knowing that there were tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the mountain. How could it be said that Li Xiao took advantage of it?

Vishniak immediately stepped forward and touched his forehead, and muttered: "Don't you have a fever?" The guy slapped his hands and suddenly realized: "That's because the hangover is not sober, are you here?" Talk nonsense!"

Li Xiao pushed him away angrily, and explained: "I'm very sober! It's not drinking, let alone nonsense! Bucharest is indeed not as dangerous as you think!"

Kornilov immediately became interested, sat up straight, and asked urgently, "Your Excellency, why did you say that? Is there a specific reason and reason?"
