Although Li Xiao's activities in Hungary were hidden, they were not kept secret internally. Not only good friends like Leonid and Alexei knew about it, but also Duke Alexander and Duke Mikhail.

It's not that Li Xiao is drifting, but he knows that there are some things that it is best to communicate with these two, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings or gaps, which will be bad. In particular, these things he did in Hungary are still a bit sensitive, and it is impossible for him and a few friends to completely cover them up.

This requires great powers like Duke Mikhail and Duke Alexander to wipe their ass. Li Xiao believes that these two are also willing to help wipe their butts!

So he didn't hide anything, and roughly told about Hungary's arrangements and actions, and Duke Mikhail was dumbfounded just here.

He looked Li Xiao up and down several times, very suspicious of someone lying.

"It's all true and well-documented things," Li Xiao replied obediently, "I also did this to cause some trouble for Duke Paskovic, so as to save him from making troubles for the Hungarians." Get on the ground, isn't that nothing we have to do at all!"

Duke Mikhail smiled wryly: "But you are too courageous. If you let the old fellow Paskovich know that you sold weapons to the Hungarians, he will definitely tear you apart!"

Although Duke Mikhail spoke harshly, the smile on his face was not fake. He was willing to pay for anything that would cause trouble for Paskovich, provided of course that he could do it cleanly and beautifully like Li Xiao.

Prince Mikhail asked curiously: "Then what are you going to do next?"

"Hurry up and get rid of the last batch of arms, get the money back, and then watch the Austrians and Paskovich have a headache, it's enough to get involved in Hungary's affairs, no more is interesting... the most important thing The only thing you need to do is to hurry up on your side, otherwise it will be useless for me to do more!"

Prince Mikhail nodded in satisfaction. Li Xiao's answer showed that he was not dazzled by the momentary success. The affairs of Hungary are too sensitive, and they can be involved but not indiscriminately. If Li Xiao doesn't know how to advance or retreat and continues to mess around, it will be easy to show his feet. At that time, the Austrians and Paskovich will really not forgive him lightly. Everything can go too far, and now it is fine.

But when it comes to the current battle situation, Duke Mikhail suddenly sighed again: "You are indeed a troublemaker, you will cause trouble for me, even if you are tossing around in Hungary, the tail you left will give me a headache!"

Li Xiao was a little puzzled, because he really didn't leave any tail to cause trouble for Duke Mikhail. Looking at the sad expression on the old man's face, it didn't seem to be fake. What the hell is it?

"The set of tactics that Leonid came up with, you are the instigator!"

Li Xiao was at a loss when he said this, he no longer remembered what attack tactics he had used. Seeing that Li Xiao was in a daze, Duke Mikhail reminded angrily: "It's that wretched tactic of digging ditches and holes to bury explosives!"

Having said that, Li Xiao remembered that he had indeed proposed such a tactic in the past, but he had completely forgotten about this tactic in spite of the fact that he was engaged in intelligence and secret work later on.

He asked with some trepidation: "Is this method not easy to use? It shouldn't be..."

Duke Mikhail snorted: "Easy to use is easy to use, but the progress is too slow. Although this set of tactics has greatly reduced casualties, it has also reduced the efficiency of our army's attack on the city, otherwise a mere Bucharest will delay So much time!"

Li Xiao had no choice but to laugh at this. He thought that Duke Mikhail was lying with his eyes open. He was very clear about the traditional tactics of the Russian army. Even if it encounters a really strong fortress here, it is often helpless.

When fighting the Turks for so many years,

It is often because the attack on the city and the stronghold is not strong enough, and then I am exhausted myself, so I have to retreat.

As for saying that the new tactics delayed the efficiency of capturing Bucharest, that’s even more nonsense. Historically, Duke Mikhail’s defense of Bucharest was helpless, and after a while of siege, he gave up treatment and ignored it.

Obviously, this city is not so easy to take, at least relying on the traditional headcount tactics of the Russian army is no way at all. Looking at what Duke Mikhail means now, the battle for fortifications is steadily unfolding, and it is much stronger than in history. This is the power of the new tactics!

But this set is of no use to the old stubborn. Duke Mikhail still insisted: "Our traditional attack tactics are better! That's what a man of iron and blood should do, instead of digging holes like a rat all day long. Looks like a soldier!"

Li Xiao didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, he felt that Duke Mikhail was just eating for nothing and he thought he was big: "Since you don't like the new tactics so much, then go back to the old tactics! You are the commander-in-chief, who can do that?" I can't sing against you!"

Who would have thought that it would be okay if Li Xiao didn't say this, but when he said that, Duke Mikhail blew his beard and stared: "Who said that no one is against me, now not only my nephew is against me, but my deputy commander-in-chief La General Zarev also disagreed with me, and that Yermolov, these guys disagreed with me all day long, insisting that I switch to traditional tactics, and even planned to promote this set of wretched tactics to the entire army. Tell me I should be happy!"

Li Xiao miscalculated that if only Duke Mikhail was alone, no one would be able to prevent him from switching back to traditional tactics, but now his nephew, his deputy commander in chief, and the chief of staff he appointed all Strongly opposed, especially the latter two are highly respected, even he must be courteous, tell me he can not be depressed!

This is something Li Xiao couldn't estimate at all, because he felt that even if Leonid supported the new tactics, it would not be of much use. That is, the 748 regiment uses it for one use, and it is impossible to promote it.

But he did not expect that the 748 regiment used it so well. It took only one week and minimal casualties to capture the solid Buftea, which made the commander-in-chief, Duke Mikhail, and deputy commander-in-chief Lazarev. General and Chief of Staff Yermolov took a strong interest.

Especially for the latter two, they already have a strong humanistic spirit and hate the traditional head tactics, so once they find that the new tactics of the 748 regiment are so effective, what are they waiting for? Even if Duke Mikhail does not support them, they have to Let's use it first...
