Struggle in Russia

Alexei was really helpless, sometimes he felt that Li Xiao and Leonid were the magic stars in his life, otherwise why would God arrange these two people to be his confidantes. Both of these two people are extremely smart, and each of them is very persistent. They don't give up an inch in principled things. If they let these two people be his friends, does it mean that his hairline is too low?

Some bald Alexei found Leonid, and tried to persuade him: "Lonya, you have to give me some people, my side is really short of manpower, and we don't give you money and effort. , this is inappropriate!"

Leonid rolled his eyes at Alexei's request, and he asked coldly, "Andreka asked you to come, right?"

Alexei was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that he was surprised that Leonid could guess the truth, but that the tone of Leonid's words was a bit off. How should I put it? Feeling a little angry, a little annoyed, a little heartbroken.

Alexei could only say: "Don't care who asked me to come, just say whether you will give it to someone or not!"

Leonid said coldly: "What if I don't give it?"

Alexei sighed with a wry smile: "Then I can only tell you that the literacy program will be terminated, and the Governor's Office will not allocate another penny!"

Leonid was immediately annoyed, and asked, "Why have you changed, and you are now standing with Andreka!"

Alexei quickly said: "You misunderstood, I'm not speaking for Andrei, but it's a bit too much to let no one on your side, and no one can accept it! Let me put it this way, Varaji The Asia-Pacific region is short of talents, especially reliable ones, most of the government officials, large and small, are either rich or poor, and they are simply unreliable!"

As he spoke, Alexei sighed: "You may not know how worried I am after each of my decrees is released. I am really worried that these unreliable guys will turn my good intentions into a tool for them to make money. You Can you feel this feeling?"

Leonid frowned and said, "If you want someone, that's fine. I'll give you a few, but if it's Andreka, I don't have any!"

Alexei was startled, he blurted out and asked, "Why?"

Leonid snorted coldly: "You think I don't know what Andreka has been up to for the past two years, he is doing crooked ways! The talents we have cultivated with great difficulty cannot be handed over to him, this is simply blasphemy The honor of the nobility, I firmly do not allow my subordinates to become thieves who steal other people's privacy! This is too shameful!"

Alexey sighed again.

He finally understood the root of the rigid relationship between Leonid and someone. Who made Leonid a saint? There was nothing he could do about a person like him being rigid. Sometimes even his good friend felt that Leonid was a little out of date.

"I don't want to defend Andreka, maybe some of his actions are a bit too much in your opinion..."

Leonid screamed before Alexei finished speaking, and he growled: "What is a little too much?! Alyosha, you were not like this before. What about your sense of honor? Your nobleness What about character? Why is it as dirty as Andreka now!"

Alexei sighed, he felt really tired: "I can understand your worries, but I have to say, do you really have a misunderstanding about Andreka?"

"There is no misunderstanding!" Leonid suddenly became a little angry, and roared: "What is the difference between what he did and a thief who stole privacy? Are you still going to defend him!"

Alexei spread his hands and said, "I don't want to defend, and I'm not going to excuse. Maybe Andreka's actions are indeed questionable, and they are not morally impeccable, but this is also out of helplessness!"

But Leonid didn't listen at all, and still yelled: "There is no help! Can't he survive if he doesn't become a thief? He just wants to take a shortcut!"

Alexei couldn't stand it anymore, and he immediately retorted: "Do you know how difficult we have been in the past three years? Our enemies are always plotting to drive me out of power. If you don't Andreka, I can no longer be the governor, and it is even possible that I have been exiled to Siberia as a savage!"

Leonid was taken aback immediately, and looked at Alexei suspiciously, as if trying to find out that his friend was lying.

But Alexei was very calm, his eyes were firm and his expression was natural, because every word he said was true, and he sighed: "Look, you really don't know anything. You are like Ender." As Leka said, it’s like living in the purest ivory tower or heaven. You don’t care what our enemies are doing. You only know that no one can surpass your rules, even if you have the most noble reasons. Can!"

Leonid was stunned, because this was the first time Alexei had spoken to him like this. To be honest, it was a little strange, and it made him a little angry, as if he had been betrayed by his wife.

"You are still not convinced!" Alexei sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think it is easy for me to be the governor, and that everything I changed in Wallachia is unimpeded?"

Leonid didn't speak, but his expression showed that he probably thought so, Alexei shook his head again and said: "You may not know, whether it is in St. Petersburg or Bucharest, there are countless people Don't like me, don't like the changes I made, they keep trying to attack me or frame me, if we don't do anything, the consequences should be familiar to you, I may very well be the next Decembrist!"

Leonid's face was a little stern, or a little ugly, even he knew what the Decembrists were going to do. But he is still unconvinced, thinking that even if the enemy has a conspiracy, he should repel it openly and squarely!

Alexei shook his head and sighed: "You really don't know how many and powerful our enemies are. If it weren't for Andreka's preparations in advance and their internal not being monolithic, we would have ended up long ago... You are the only one who has the courage to repel them head-on! My friend, tell me, do you have the courage to oppose His Majesty and the Imperial Minister? Or do you think that you alone can change thousands of Russians? years of tradition?"

Alexei became more and more excited as he spoke. He looked straight at Leonid and asked loudly, "Tell me, do you have such courage!"
