Struggle in Russia

"It's so deceiving! I'm so mad! This bastard!"

After Messadov returned to his private house, his anger could no longer be contained. He angrily overturned a table, smashed his favorite Chinese porcelain, and sprayed dogs all over his head and face.

But still can't let him turn off, because Leonid embarrassed him too much today!

"Mr. Commander, thank you for coming to welcome me. But at present, I think this kind of welcoming ceremony is completely unnecessary and a waste of time. Our focus should be on rectifying the troops, reshaping discipline, clearing away pests, and letting the 748 regiment Become a fighting team again!"

"Your previous work, with all due respect, has been a mess, and you are responsible for such a serious crime. You and your officers need to review and act immediately instead of wasting time welcoming me to this subordinate!"

Messadov and his dog legs were confused by this harsh lesson, and they wondered if their ears were hallucinating. How can there be such a shameless person, who stretches out his hand without hitting a smiling face, what are you going to do? Is it MT's own mocking skills?

Anyway, the scene was very embarrassing, Mesadov and the others were very embarrassed and did not know how to step down. Especially after Grand Duke Constantine also followed Leonid's words and reprimanded them severely, this group of mediocre bureaucrats felt the burning pain on their faces and felt that their future was uncertain and their fate was unpredictable.

"Captain, what does the marquis mean?" Antonov asked anxiously.

Messadov's heart was in a mess, and he couldn't figure out what it meant. It was clear that Admiral Menshikov had given instructions: He was required to integrate the 748th regiment as soon as possible, and continue to surround and oppress a certain hated grand duke. They are required to do everything possible to find faults in the egg under the condition of reasonable and legal procedures, and the newly appointed Colonel Sasha Adlerberg Gendarmerie will cooperate with them in carrying out operations. All in all, if you want to torture the Grand Duke to your heart's content, you must ruin his reputation.

At first, Mesakov didn't think it was too difficult. After all, no matter how cunning someone is, he is only a company commander. Now that Kutepov is gone, it is easy to replace the key positions of the 748 regiment with his people. At that time, the 748 regiment will be full of his troops, even if someone is Monkey King, he will not be able to escape his Wuzhishan.

But the sudden appearance of Leonid made things even more variable, and the position of deputy head was immediately occupied by him. Let Mesakov's confidant, Major Antonov, continue to stand aside. Moreover, he caught Mesakov's confidantes a lesson as soon as he came, almost pointing his nose and calling them trash, what does this mean? Is it to grab the class and seize power?

Mesakov couldn't figure it out, when did the 748 regiment become a sweet potato? Need to let a young and talented Marquis with a deep relationship background be so interested? Or did he offend the young Marquis before, and this one came here to slap him in the face for revenge?

Anyway, Mesakov's mind was full of question marks, and he didn't understand what Leonid was going to do. But no matter whether he can figure it out or not, his mission is fixed. If Li Xiao can't be solved, then his superiors must solve him. He has to fight for his future.

Mesakov waved his hand domineeringly: "Leave him alone, our most critical task now is to deal with that bastard prince, and everything will go according to the established plan!"

The so-called established plan is to chase and intercept, put pressure on Li Xiao up and down to create difficulties. The first step is to occupy the position of the battalion commander of the second battalion. This is someone's direct superior. If you control this position, you can continuously give someone orders and tasks. As long as someone can't finish it or it's not perfect enough, they can easily hit the board.

According to Mesakov's plan, he planned to send his confidant, Captain Georgy Nikolaevich Lodkin, to take over the Second Battalion. This man was thoughtful and ruthless, and he would definitely be able to subdue Li Xiao.

But the next day, at the plenary meeting of officers above the 748 regiment company, Mesakov's wishful thinking was hit head-on by Leonid.

"I object to this appointment!"

Leonid said bluntly: "I don't think it's a good idea to appoint Captain Lodkin as the commander of the second battalion!"

Leonid shook the document in his hand, and said slowly: "I just checked the resume of Captain Lodkin. This gentleman has served as engineer platoon leader, logistics officer, logistics assistant, and deputy director of military supplies. He has almost no command line. The experience of the army. It is too hasty and unreasonable for such an inexperienced person to be suddenly promoted to the battalion commander in charge of the 1st Division, it is simply irresponsible and inexplicable!"

Lodkin's face turned blue and red. He thought that his promotion was a sure thing, but who would have thought that he would be beaten head-on by the new deputy head at the beginning. The other party almost made it clear that he was not suitable to be a battalion commander and should not be promoted. Why don't you say he's not angry!

It wasn't just Lodkin who was angry, Mesadov also turned black with anger. Yesterday Leonid gave him a big blow, and today he came to knock the mountain and shake the tiger again. Did he think he was a bully, so he kicked his nose in the face!

Mesakov, who was full of anger, immediately gave Antonov a wink, and the latter immediately said understandingly: "Your Excellency, Deputy Commander, this statement is wrong! Although Captain Lodkin has not directly commanded the front-line troops, his resume Sufficient, good performance, is the most suitable candidate for the second battalion commander among all the officers above the company in the regiment..."

Leonid interrupted Antonov very bluntly, and asked: "Sufficient resume? Good performance? Major Antonov, are you sure you are not joking?"

Leonid asked imposingly: "Just now I looked at the resumes of the officers of the regiment above the company, and they have experience in leading troops in the front line. There are no less than a dozen officers who have served as platoon commanders, company commanders, and battalion commanders. There are seven or eight people!"

"And among these seven or eight officers, there is no Captain Lodkin you mentioned. Among these officers, Captain Lodkin is not only the one with the shortest service life, but also the one with the least military exploits and qualifications!"

Leonid looked directly at Antonov and asked, "Now you tell me that Captain Lodkin has the most comprehensive resume. Are you illiterate?"

Antonov was so angry that his face was flushed and he couldn't say a word. Lodkin's resume is of course not sufficient, because from the beginning Mesakov excluded those "centrists" who did not deal with him and were assigned officers. It is impossible for these thorns not to be on Mesakov's list.

Antonov could only bite the bullet and say: "Maybe, but Captain Lodkin's work performance is outstanding..."

Leonid interrupted him forcefully again, and asked: "If I read correctly, Captain Lodkin was previously the deputy director of the arsenal, right? The management of the arsenal was in a mess before, and he even made Gassin Even if Shirokov is mainly responsible for such a bad case as Ski, is Captain Lodkin not responsible at all?"

"Ignoring Shirokov, ignoring the rules and regulations, ignoring Gazinski's embezzlement of arms, is this called outstanding work performance!"
