Struggle in Russia

The second floor of the 748 Regiment Headquarters. Li Xiao, Vishniak, and Boris sat around the window talking and watching the people who walked into the regiment headquarters outside.

"Who is this bearded man?" Li Xiao asked pointing.

Vishniak looked up boredly, and replied sullenly: "Major Joseph Mikhainovich Antonov."

Li Xiao asked again: "What about the job?"

Vishniak was still so determined to reply: "The quartermaster is in charge of logistics."

"Whose people?"

Vishniak yawned and replied: "Colonel Ulyan Ulyanovich Samedov's son of a bitch."

Li Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Boris and asked, "Have you remembered everything?"

The big Boris was taking notes in a small notebook at this time, and he thought he was doing scientific research from his serious look. After finishing writing, he asked very strangely: "Andre, why don't you memorize it? Didn't you say that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen?"

Li Xiaolue replied with some complacency: "That's for people with bad memories. I'm the kind with a particularly good memory. I basically have a photographic memory!"

Not only Boris, but even Vishniak had disbelief written all over his face. But Li Xiao is really not bragging, his memory is really amazing, otherwise it would be impossible to memorize all kinds of materials that are as vast as the sea and boring before crossing. And after time travel, although God gave him a sick body, but I don't know if it's because he swallowed the soul of his predecessor or because his memory is also very good. ability. He recognized all these people who entered the regiment headquarters just now, like old friends who have known each other for decades.

"There's another mustache, this guy is not a good bird at first glance!" Boris pushed Vishniak, who pretended to be dead and didn't want to work, and urged: "Hurry up, this guy is Who!"

Vishniak looked up reluctantly, and complained: "Captain Grigory Alexandrovich Gasinsky, the battalion commander of your second battalion. Deputy commander Ilya Ku Japov's man, a very insidious villain!"

Speaking of this, Vishniak showed a confused look, and murmured: "Why is this guy here today? Strange..."

Boris hummed in satisfaction, and carefully recorded the information he received verbatim, while Li Xiao asked, "Is this Kutepov going to deal with that Samedov?"

Vishniak sneered: "How could the relationship be good? Have you ever heard that the number one and the second number are brothers? What's more, one of the benefactors behind them is Admiral Menshikov, and the other is Pobedono Steff, those two don't have a good relationship, how could they pee together!"

Boris was still ignorant and didn't know what was said here. After all, he had just arrived in St. Petersburg not long ago, and he didn't understand the grievances among the top dignitaries. As soon as Li Xiao heard it, he knew why the relationship between the two chief and deputy heads was so bad.

Admiral Menshikov refers to Alexander Sergeyevich Menshikov, who is the great-grandson of Prince Alexander Danilovich Menshikov. The latter was Peter the Great's little friend and favorite minister. It was this guy who dedicated the later Empress Catherine I to Peter the Great (Ekaterina I had been married before, but her husband was married to Sweden The army left, the empress came and became old Menshikov’s fire bag friend, and was recommended to Peter the Great), relying on his old lover relationship with the empress, after Peter the Great died, old Menshikov relied on his hand Holding the military power helped Yekaterina I to the throne of the emperor, and old Menshikov also became the actual ruler of Russia. Of course, later the goods were liquidated and exiled.

Little Menshikov, like his great-grandfather, also started his career in the army and participated in the war against Napoleon, so he can be regarded as a war hero.

But later, Brilliant Tengda mainly had a good relationship with Nicholas I. It is said that he was very familiar with him when he served in an army.

After Nicholas I ascended the throne, he naturally wanted to reuse the people around him. As one of the most loyal henchmen of the tsar, Menshikov naturally skyrocketed and became minister of the navy, minister of the interior, and governor of Finland, and was later rewarded as a prince title.

Of course, there is one thing to say, the great-grandfather of Little Menshikov’s great-grandfather has a lot of means, but his abilities are really mediocre, and he has almost no merits worth mentioning except for his loyalty. Fighting is almost a sea of ​​people. , Bullying the Turks, the sick man in the Middle East, is hard work.

As for Contitantin Pobedonostsev, this guy belongs to Crown Prince Alexander. Later, he once served as the tutor of Alexander II's eldest son Nicholas and second son Alexander (you must complain about the naming ability of Nicholas I's family, followed by piles of Nicholas and Alexander, such as Nicholas II, Alexander III), now this confidant of the crown prince is not of high rank, but his importance is undoubtedly.

So why do Pobedonostsev and Menshikov have a bad relationship?

It stands to reason that an emperor's confidant and a crown prince's confidant will not be in conflict. The reason is quite simple, that is, once Pobedonostsev got drunk and told a joke about sex in front of a group of noble ladies and ladies in a salon. Just talk about it, but the problem is that the protagonist happens to be Little Menshikov. He nicknamed Menshikov the eunuch in charge of the big house in public. Do you think Menshikov will be happy?

You must know that this was the pain of Menshikov's life. In 1828, Menshikov, who was in his prime, was responsible for attacking the Turkish fortress. During the siege, a cannonball came and took away his penis just as he dismounted. Since then, little Menshikov has been insulated from female sex, and was ridiculed in public as a eunuch. Do you think he is angry or not.

What's more, although the little Menshikov is weak in the waist, he is a noble family, and Pobedonostsev is just the henchman of the crown prince. He dared to laugh at him as a dignified prince. Is this bullying him to talk?

Anyway, since then, Menshikov has changed ways to find fault with Pobedonostsev. The two of them are at odds with each other, and even their subordinates are naturally at odds. Whenever there is a chance, the two sides will fight each other. Stumbling, extremely lively.

"By the way, what is the use of collecting these things?" Vishniak asked incomprehensibly.

Li Xiao rubbed his chin and asked, "Can you use the conflict between these two guys to make a fuss?"

Vishniak sneered: "Do you think they are fools? Although Kutepov and Samedov didn't deal with it, they still knew their mission clearly. These two guys are good people, no It may be used by you!"

"yes?"

Li Xiao was not angry, and looked calm, but Vishniak couldn't help it, and he complained: "I said, don't waste your time, okay, there is no chance, just accept your fate early , What are you tossing about! The one who is unlucky in the end is yourself, why bother!"
