Li Xiao is not the only one whose butt determines his head. Kornilov and Nassimov are also typical. But it is understandable that for Li Xiao, when Moldavia is stable, no one will hold him back. For Grand Duke Constantine
It is said that with the officers of the Black Sea Fleet, they can make great achievements. It is even a good thing for Russia to have these officers to help Grand Duke Constantine.
But for the parties involved, Kornilov and Nassimov, if so many experienced grassroots officers ran away, it would have a subversive impact on the grassroots companies and seriously affect the combat effectiveness. This would not affect their brothers.
Are you two preparing for a fight?
It can be seen that no matter how good something is, it depends on who is right. After all, there is nothing in this world that is beneficial to everyone. It is more beneficial to some people at the expense of the vital interests of others. At that time, how to choose is the key
Sex problem.
If everyone only cares about their own personal interests, and is as selfish as the scholar-bureaucrat class in the late Ming Dynasty, then even the Galaxy Battleship will be sunk.
Fortunately, neither Li Xiao nor Kornilov nor Nasimov are the kind of extremely selfish people. They can accept reasonable trade-offs of interests, as long as they do not maliciously hinder their interests.
And this is why Li Xiao allowed the two brothers to relax and let Grand Duke Constantine toss him around. He told them with a smile: "In the short term, the impact on the fleet, especially the naval infantry attached to the fleet, will indeed be greater..."
Yes, the focus of Archduke Constantine's poaching was precisely the naval infantry of the Black Sea Fleet. After all, serious naval officers were of little use to him. His Moldavia did not rely on the sea, and he did not have the financial resources to build it.
A fleet.
Therefore, the key target of Archduke Constantine's poaching is the naval infantry officers of the Black Sea Fleet. Although there is a difference between the Marine Corps and the serious army, the naval infantry is indeed better than the average, both from a global perspective and from Russian history.
The army is more elite and better at fighting, and the level of its officers is naturally better.
It should be said that recruiting a group of naval infantry officers to strengthen the volunteer army has great benefits. Archduke Constantine has made a profit!
And it is precisely because the naval infantry has higher requirements, which naturally has a greater impact on Kornilov and Nassimov, that's why Li Xiao said this.
However, the main point Li Xiao wanted to say was not here. Instead, he immediately changed the subject and said: "But in the long run, Kostya actually helped you solve difficult problems!"
Kornilov and Nasimov were both stunned. They didn't understand where this started. Why didn't they find out what trouble Grand Duke Constantine helped them solve!
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Don't you think these officers are a big trouble? If I guess correctly, these people who can be attracted by Kostya are basically old enough but have no hope of promotion, and they have no other support for their families.
You have a problem with your living skills, officer!"
Kornilov and Nasimov were stunned. If you say it from this perspective, it is true. It is this type of people who are interested in the recruitment of Grand Duke Constantine. Those who have the ability and connections will definitely be promoted.
Even if they can leave, the promotion path for younger officers still exists and they still have enough time to survive, so it is impossible for them to leave.
Only those officers who have no hope of life and are extremely stressed will be interested in Archduke Constantine's volunteers. And this group of people is not actually that important to the Black Sea Fleet!
Li Xiao analyzed them carefully: "With no hope of promotion, these officers will naturally become indifferent to everything. Honors, medals or military merit are dispensable to them, and they will naturally not fight for these things!"
"In addition, because of the huge pressure in family life, they will naturally not be particularly dedicated to the daily management of the army, and they may just muddle through and muddle through."
"It is not even ruled out that some people are particularly oily and will try their best to embezzle property and make the army a mess!"
"You guys are talking about such a group of living treasures. If they stay in the team, they are like time bombs. They may explode at some time. Maybe once the war breaks out, the impact of this group of people on the morale of the army will be negative. You are so
What do they do with them, honey?”
Kornilov and Nasimov were stunned. If you look at the problem from this perspective, Li Xiao's words are absolutely correct. This group of people is indeed not that precious. It might be a good thing to let them leave the army as soon as possible.
However, these two men were not stupid. They reacted as soon as their minds turned around. They said to Li Xiao in a dumbfounded voice: "What you said makes sense to a certain extent. There are indeed such officers, but this type of officers is always a minority...
…Such people are not universal among those officers who are interested in the Volunteer Army. There are still many outstanding and good officers!”
Li Xiao curled his lips and said: "But the outstanding and good officers among them are not universal, and the habit of laziness is more common among that group. I don't believe that your Black Sea Fleet is an exception!"
Li Xiao said it categorically because he knew the Russian army officers too well. There is no shortage of excellent officers in the Russian army, and they are no worse than their counterparts in Western Europe. However, this type of officers can never resist the poor treatment of the Russian army.
The bad influence it brings is that a prostitute can be a prostitute for a while but cannot be a prostitute for a lifetime. It is impossible to make someone a prostitute forever by relying only on honor and chicken soup.
Because even if *** himself can live without food, clothing, and a house, ***'s wife, children, and parents also have to eat, clothe, go to school, and live in a house. You cannot let *** not get married, have children, or honor your parents.
Star?
These practical problems have always existed. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, they will always exert influence at a specific time. When the enthusiasm of youth fades, how to boost morale and maintain the belief of the army?
Chicken soup for the soul alone won’t do it!
And this is the most fatal problem of the Russian army. The treatment is really anti-human and the effect of dissuading people to quit is too strong. Among the Russian army, perhaps except for a few aristocratic officers like Leonid who are both rich and particularly confident, they can consistently do so.
Keep the faith and never expect too much from other officers.
As a result, corruption and laziness have become common phenomena among Russian military officers. Even if the Black Sea Fleet has better treatment and some officers with higher quality, it is still only too strong. The principles that apply to common phenomena in the Russian military still apply to the Black Sea Fleet.
Applicable.
This also determines that there may be outstanding talents among the officers who are interested in Constantine's Volunteer Army, but generally speaking, the proportion of problem officers will probably be higher!
