Struggle in Russia

After returning to Sertorov town again after half a month, Li Xiao was very emotional. The first time he came to this town, he rented a carriage and went to work alone in a dreary and miserable form, and was dissed by a group of idle and miscellaneous officers.

But this time, when he walked out of the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, left the secret prison in the third part, and returned to this small town, the situation was completely different.

He was accompanied by Boris and Vishniak, and the soldiers of the second company greeted him spontaneously. He was like a general who had won a great battle, and returned home in style.

After only one month of time travel, Li Xiao has changed from a bastard grand duke despised and spurned by everyone to a folk hero who is furious in the third part and makes Alexander and Nicholas I unable to step down.

Countless people know about his legendary deeds, and countless people are curious about what he did. It feels so good to be under the spotlight!

What is the time travel for? Not just for this one!

Li Xiao felt full of pleasure and laughed non-stop from morning to night, looking like a nympho and idiot.

"Is this guy really the one who kept making Kutepov and Gazinski stumble?" Vishniak asked with a twitching corner of his mouth.

Boris also felt that someone was too hot-eyed, so he replied uncertainly: "It should be possible! Could it be that the scumbags in the third part smashed their heads?"

As he said that, the big man snapped Li Xiao's head up and down, just like picking up chickens.

"What are you doing! Stop!" Li Xiao struggled and said, "Be respectful, I'm your company commander!"

Vishniak curled his lips and said: "You also know that you are a company commander! Looking at your performance today, I thought you were promoted to marshal!"

"I confuse the enemy and let them relax their vigilance!" Li Xiao emphasized while rearranging his hairstyle: "This is called showing weakness to the enemy, do you understand!"

Vishniak cut it: "It's useless. Now that Gazinski has been sentenced, and Kutepov has been dismissed on the spot pending review, no one in the entire 748 regiment knows that this is your masterpiece. I guess you will It's no use pretending to be crazy, that Colonel Messadov must be plotting against us right now!"

This is true, after Kutepov and his gang fell, Mesadov was Li Xiao's face-to-face enemy. Without Kutepov's bondage, Mesadov, who attached great importance to Li Xiao, would definitely do everything possible to cause trouble. This is not only because of the disagreement between the two parties, but also the urgent request of Nicholas I.

Li Xiao used domestic and foreign pressure to force Nicholas I to make concessions, but this does not mean that Nicholas I will swallow this bad breath. This vindictive emperor will definitely order his lackeys to go all out to get back the scene and make Li Xiao look good.

All kinds of means, all kinds of conspiracies, and all kinds of pressure will come into battle together. Next, Li Xiao shouldn't be able to surprise the opponent with a surprise attack. Messadov, who is ready for battle, may be very difficult to deal with.

To be honest, Li Xiao himself did not expect the situation to become like this. When he set up a trap for Gazinski at first, at most he wanted to bring him down, and at most he would knock Shan Zhenhu and Kutepov a little bit of color.

Li Xiao didn't realize that the third part, Crown Prince Alexander and Nicholas I were so slow in responding, and the feedback to the outside world was really three beats behind. Waiting for the event to snowball to cause an avalanche effect, it took a long time to clean up the mess, which made it a little out of hand.

This is a good thing but also a bad thing.

Fortunately, the secret police organization in the third part has been greatly degraded, and it is no longer as lean and powerful as it was in the time of Benkendorf. Now it is like a sick patient, slow, weak, and powerless.

This institution has become more and more bureaucratic, more and more decayed, and more and more lacking in control. It can no longer monitor everything comprehensively, there are a lot of loopholes to exploit, and there is a lot to be done if you use it well!

On the bad side,

This also exposed Li Xiao prematurely. Originally, in the eyes of Nicholas I, he was just a bit of an annoying bug, and he didn't need to pay too much attention. But this time, the little bug turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain, messing up the Admiralty and the third part.

Shows enough that someone is more than just a bug. Nicholas I, who had a keen sense of smell, immediately realized the danger, and realized that he could no longer ignore Li Xiao, and must focus on it.

"This is a bad thing, but it's also a good thing!" Li Xiao analyzed soberly, "Being focused attention undoubtedly increases the difficulty of our work, but it is also a kind of advertisement. The attention of His Majesty is to promote us, in disguise Affirmation of our ability."

"In this way, those who oppose His Majesty and those who seek change will know us, and will come to contact us and draw closer to us. This is also a good opportunity for us to grow stronger!"

Vishniak agreed with Li Xiao's statement. After the incident basically came to light, the centrists in the 748 regiment who had been watching the show immediately took action. Many people asked him about Li Xiao and Boris' situation, obviously they were tempted.

"We must actively contact them and unite them. This is our good opportunity! The more people we unite, the more confident we will be in the face of Mesadov's counterattack!"

Li Xiao swung his arms heavily, and said vigorously: "We will have a lot to do! I believe that as long as we are united, it will not be difficult to defeat Messadov, and even those old stubborn people in the future!"

Both Vishniak and Boris were encouraged. Li Xiao has already proved his ability. He said that he managed to turn defeat into victory in an extremely unfavorable situation, defeating Crown Prince Alexander and Nicholas I's henchman Aldorf. This shows that the enemy is not as invincible as they imagined. They There is a chance!

Of course, Li Xiao wasn't overwhelmed. This time the victory was a fluke. The next time the enemy is fully prepared, there will be no luck to take advantage of.

So he said: "But we can't be careless and blindly optimistic. The situation is still serious, Vyshka, has anything changed in Sertorov during this time?"

Vishniak nodded, and solemnly introduced: "It has changed a lot. Major Vasily Matveyevich Muravyov's military police has been transferred away. The third department is very dissatisfied with him and thinks that He broke a major event, and he was promoted to lieutenant colonel in name, but in fact, he was given to manage the files..."

"He is replaced by Viscount Sasha Adlerberg, who seems to be the best friend of Crown Prince Alexander!"

Li Xiao nodded. He knew who this Adlerberg was, the eldest son of the court minister, Count Vladimir Adlerberg. This family is the loyal dog of the tsar. It seems that Nicholas I has learned a lesson.

"anything else?"

"There is also a new deputy commander," Vishniak looked at Li Xiao and Boris with a strange expression, and said, "It is the deputy commander of the Knights of St. Lieutenant Colonel Leonid Alexandrovich Gorchakov..."
