Leonid raised his binoculars to carefully check the situation of the Turks across the river. Since the outbreak of the Velanovo incident, the border between Wallachia and Bulgaria has entered a state of high combat readiness.

The Turkish army on the opposite side has strengthened its patrols. There are patrols with live ammunition patrolling the border all day long. Those Turks were not so diligent in the past, and they would never miss it when they could be lazy.

The current Turkish soldiers are somewhat nervous. They will carefully patrol and interrogate anyone who appears in their eyes, especially those Bulgarians who look sneaky.

Leonid had seen several Orthodox brothers captured by Turkish soldiers through the telescope.

To be honest, the actions of the Turks made him very dissatisfied. In his opinion, this was an act of revenge by the Turks Hongguoguo, that is, the Bulgarians who took revenge on Vladimir Franovo slapped them in the face, so they will try their best to Make things difficult for those poor people.

"There is something coming at us!"

Leonid muttered angrily. He just couldn't see the Orthodox brothers being oppressed by Turkey. If it wasn't for Alexei's strict prohibition of all provocations, especially the behavior of shooting fire, he might immediately order a battalion of people to kill them across the river. Go get those turkey clowns.

He had a big fight with Alexei about this. He felt that Alexei didn't care about the life and death of the Bulgarian Orthodox brothers at all, and he was a cold-blooded bureaucrat. And accuse Alexei of becoming more and more disloyal to the heavenly father and the state religion, fight the Turkish heretics, expel them and kill them all, what's the problem?

"He was bound by a piece of paper..."

Leonid muttered again, and he could hear that he was still complaining about Alexei's restrictions on him. He sincerely hoped that Nicholas I would immediately change to a Wallachian governor, preferably one with a strong and clear attitude. The military came to be the governor.

"General, the commander of the garrison, General Dmitry Milyutin, is here!"

Leonid was not at all surprised by Dmitry's arrival. He had been notified three days in advance that Dmitri was coming to inspect the situation. This is not to remind Leonid to do some superficial work to deal with the inspection, because Leonid is very confident in his troops, he feels that all his work can withstand the most severe and demanding inspection, and there will be no Leaks.

Naturally, if the higher-ups wanted to check, he could just do it. Anyway, Leonid was confident. He even thought that if his superiors had the time to inform him of such trivial matters, he might as well think about how to help those poor Bulgarian Orthodox brothers on the other side of the river!

"Stand at attention, salute!"

Dmitry's ostentation was not big, and he could even be regarded as light and easy. Except for the adjutant and three guards, he didn't bring a single person with him.

This made Leonid feel a little better about him, because he had seen too many Russian generals who shouted and swarmed while hundreds of people cleared the way. What's the use of that kind of ostentation? Apart from bluffing people, it doesn't help the inspection work at all.

On the contrary, it will increase the burden on them, the reception staff. There are so many free mouths out of thin air, one meal or two is fine. If it is a long-term inspection, it will make people's scalp numb, okay!

While Leonid was thinking about these things, Dmitry was also observing the young noble general. When he himself was so young, he didn't get the rank of major general. In fact, he is only a lieutenant general now.

But considering Leonid's family background, the influence of his uncle, Duke Mikhail, is enough to make him rise to the top at a young age. What's more, his reputation in the army is still very good, and he has made no stupid achievements. He is not the kind of gold-plated embroidered pillow hiding in the headquarters.

If it was normal, Dmitry would be very happy to have such a young and capable guy under his command. But now, he only felt that Leonid was a troublesome thorn.

For the Russian troops stationed in Wallachia,

When Dmitry took office, he made clear the focus of the next stage of work, which is to improve the defense facilities and make preparations for standing on the spot. He explicitly asked the troops to treat this matter as a top priority.

Although this order caused some controversy within the garrison army, with Dmitry's status and authority, no one dared to sing against him, except Leonid!

Yes, Leonid expressed strong dissatisfaction after receiving the order. He wrote a long letter to Dmitry, which probably meant that the defensive garrison was meaningless, and the garrison should focus on attacking Tactics, ready to attack. He even bluntly said that only cowards would choose to defend when facing the Turkish army.

Dmitry read the letter several times, word for word, and he admitted that Leonid was a passionate and contagious general, and that his friendship with religion and Orthodox brothers was as sincere and warm as a flame.

But this kind of thing is meaningless to Dmitry. Although he is religious, he is not superstitious, and has no interest in things like the New Age Crusades. Moreover, Count Rostovtsev and Li Xiao had repeatedly analyzed the situation for him, and he also agreed with these two points of view, thinking that attacking Bulgaria was meaningless or even worth the candle.

Naturally, he was not interested in liberating Bulgaria, and Leonid's passionate speeches were naturally a bright spot. Dmitry's reply to him was very simple, just a few words-execute the order!

This made Leonid a little disappointed with the newly appointed commander of the garrison. If Dmitry's vigorous style and methods hadn't made the combat preparation work enter the fast lane, he might have directly leapfrogged and responded that Dmitri Terry is incompetent.

Anyway, let's put it this way, these two people are more or less disliked by each other. In Dmitry's eyes, Leonid is a prickly and stunned young man, while in Leonid's eyes, Dmitry is a coward. coward.

"General, I don't understand why you ordered the construction of these pointless fortifications!"

Stupid young Leonid is a dead man, his suggestion in the last letter was ruthlessly rejected, but it doesn't mean he gave in. Face to face with Demeter this time, he immediately repeated the old story and yelled aggressively.

Dmitry had a headache. Now he understood why Li Xiao had told him that it was best to transfer Leonid away. It would be really troublesome to keep such a guy who fired at random regardless of the occasion or his identity.

He couldn't say that he was not optimistic about the war with Turkey this time, so he could only answer vaguely: "The mission of our garrison troops is to ensure the safety of Wallachia, so what's the problem with doing a good job of defense?!"
