Leonid's intervention made Duke Mikhail breathe a big sigh of relief. He really didn't want to let a weirdo like Tolstoy enter his staff. He didn't want to have to face such a weird kid every day.
That would suffocate him.
It is perfect that Leonid is willing to train Tolsto. He can handle the situation externally and stay out of trouble internally. The only thing that makes Duke Mikhail hesitate is whether this will give Leonid
Virtue brings trouble.
He knew that Leonid and Li Xiao still had a lot of troubles, as did Nicholas I, Grand Duke Constantine, Crown Prince Alexander, and, yes, the old eunuch Menshikov. So many big shots who made people feel sorry for them.
Staring at the 748th regiment, the pressure is very high, coupled with an inexplicable naughty boy?
Duke Mikhail felt sorry for Leonid and Li Xiao. But what Duke Mikhail did not expect was that Tolstoy, who was considered troublesome, was more troublesome than he imagined.
He didn't appreciate Leonid's kindness very much.
"Sir, I'm sorry, what is your army?" Tolstoy asked seriously with a critical expression.
It can be seen from his expression that if he felt that Leonid's troops were not doing well, he probably would not "condescend" to go there.
"The 748th Naval Infantry Regiment," Leonid introduced very calmly, "I am temporarily the acting commander of this regiment."
"748th Naval Infantry Regiment!!!"
Tolstoy's voice suddenly rose three octaves, which could almost be called impolite. He said disdainfully: "I'm sorry, is it the 748th regiment that is considered a shame to the navy?"
Well, this answer made Leonid a little embarrassed. The reputation of the 748th Regiment was indeed too bad. Almost everyone who heard him would laugh at it, which made him a little embarrassed.
Prince Mikhail disliked Tolstoy even more. He felt that this weird boy was too mean and disrespectful. My nephew kindly provided you with an opportunity, but you still laughed at him? What do you mean? Blatantly.
Come for a slap in the face?
Anyway, the angry Prince Mikhail is very difficult to talk to. He has made up his mind that as long as Tolstoy refuses, even if he is surrounded by messages and gossip, he will not give this naughty kid a chance and let him get away as far away as possible.
!
Leonid was not as careful as Duke Mikhail, and he was not angry. Although Tolstoy was indeed a bit too straightforward, he basically told the truth. The 748th Regiment did have a bad reputation.
The acknowledged shame of the Navy.
Even though the atmosphere has changed a lot recently due to the efforts of a few of their friends, outsiders have no way of noticing, right? If you want to completely wash away the shame of the past, you have to speak with facts.
Leonid made up his mind to make a name for himself in the 748th Regiment. He must make the 748th Regiment shine in his hands and let everyone know that the 748th Regiment is not a disgrace, but the best and most elite unit!
So he answered calmly: "It's the 748th Regiment, but this regiment has a bad reputation for a reason. Since I joined the regiment, the atmosphere of the regiment has changed greatly. In time, I will definitely get the title of Guards!"
Tolstoy was still dismissive of this. In his opinion, anyone can say nice things, but how many of them can actually do it? Since he decided to join the army, he studied the war history of the imperial generals in detail.
After studying each heroic unit in detail, there were not many that he could recognize.
Prince Mikhail and his troops could barely tell what was going on. Tolstoy wanted to go to Vorontsov's troops. But the problem was that this veteran of the empire was not under the influence of Nicholas I.
I like it so much that I have already stepped aside and semi-retired, and there is no chance to lead troops on the battlefield.
When Tolstoy became a soldier, he did not really want to receive military training. He really wanted to go to the battlefield and make meritorious deeds. Therefore, he preferred veterans who had made great achievements and could go to the battlefield in the near future. Among them, Mikhail
The Duke is definitely the best choice.
As for the 748th Marine Infantry Regiment, what the hell is that? It's just a bunch of rubbish and scum. Which commander in his right mind would allow such rubbish to go to the front line? Are he really prepared to kill the enemy?
Tolstoy did not think that the 748th Regiment had a chance to achieve meritorious service, and looked down upon the 748th Regiment. Naturally, he was very indifferent to Leonid's proposal.
This made Vishnyak laugh at Li Xiao: "Andreka, it seems you made a mistake. There is no shadow of us in this child's eyes. In his eyes, we are just a mob!"
"No!" Boris corrected: "It's complete rubbish!"
Finally, Boris added: "I don't like this kid. Although he is different from those playboys, his personality is really bad and annoying!"
Vishniak also agreed: "I agree, this kid is definitely a thorn and troublesome, and I don't want to work with him!"
Li Xiao smiled bitterly. He actually suffered from the time traveler's squirrel syndrome on a whim. It felt wonderful to collect celebrities and let historical celebrities sing praises for him. When he thought of future generations reading Tolstoy
If you mention in the author's preface that the prototype of a certain character is him, or pay tribute to him in the book, it will be full of a sense of accomplishment!
It's just that Li Xiao underestimated Tolstoy's difficulty. He was really a bit unreasonable. His wishful thinking was wiped out in a minute, and he severely offended him in less than a minute.
Two good friends.
Li Xiao also hesitated. Do we really want such a prickly kid to join the 748th regiment? This weirdo will definitely cause a lot of trouble, and his identity is particularly difficult to deal with. Think about calling Leonid back.
.If we don’t have that diamond, we can’t do that porcelain job.
It's just that Li Xiao realized it too late. Because Leonid's sense of honor was stimulated by Tolstoy, he extended the invitation more enthusiastically, which made Tolstoy find it hard to refuse.
"Count, I sincerely invite you to come with me to the town of Sertolov to see the real situation of the 748th Regiment. If you still feel that the 748th Regiment is hopelessly bad when you get there, then I will never
I won’t force you to stay.”
"But if you think the 748th Regiment is not that bad, or even okay. I sincerely hope you will give me this honor and let me be the leader of your military career?"
Tolstoy was very hesitant. He wanted to continue to refuse, but Leonid's enthusiasm and kindness were too hard to refuse. He was in a dilemma and had to turn to Duke Mikhail for help, but this man who hated him very much
The Duke smiled and said nothing. In desperation, he could only agree:
"Your enthusiasm is too much for me to refuse. I agree to go to Sertolov Town with you... But if the 748th Group cannot satisfy me, then please forgive me for my rudeness and offense..."
