Li Xiao's question went straight to the core of the problem. What was the purpose of this inquiry meeting? Or what exactly did Yeluofe want to achieve through the inquiry?
If, according to Yeluofei, Li Xiao's remarks had a very bad influence and interfered with naval construction, then it is indeed necessary to hold a meeting to eliminate the bad influence.
But the problem is that Li Xiao's remarks are nothing more than discussion and discussion. He is not the chief designer of the navy and cannot decide how to build ships. That is the job of Yelofei and others.
If Ye Luofei and others always adhere to their own ideas and remain unmoved, what bad consequences can Li Xiao cause?
In short, Yeluofei's "accusation" is untenable and has no facts to support it. To put it simply, he just doesn't want to hear Li Xiao's voice and wants to block the other party's mouth. To put it more deeply, it is okay.
Exaggerate the facts to gain attention and seek personal gain for yourself.
And when Li Xiao peeled them off in public, Ye Luofei was speechless. He couldn't say that Li Xiao's jabbering in the newspaper disturbed his sleep and prevented him from designing properly, right?
That's really funny. If you really say that, Yelofei will become the laughing stock of the shipbuilding industry. Suddenly, the old man was speechless.
In the first round, Yeluofe suffered a brutal K.O., which made Grand Duke Constantine so angry that he was speechless. Before, he had also simplified the problem, and he only wanted to make Li Xiao miserable, but he didn't think much about the reasonable and unreasonable issues.
Now that Li Xiao has caught the loophole, he has overturned the original intention of the questioning meeting from the very beginning - What exactly do you want to question? Can you please say it clearly and stop being funny?
However, Grand Duke Constantine reacted quickly. He knew that this trick of making someone bad would not work, so he quickly interjected: "Andrei, Lieutenant Colonel Fedinov is not questioning your right to express your opinion. But.
I question you for frequently expressing some unverified views, which may have a negative impact on the navy's shipbuilding and development!"
In fact, it was unreasonable for Grand Duke Constantine to speak at this time. After all, he was attending as a bystander in order to clear up the relationship. To take action openly at this time would be to go astray.
However, Li Xiao didn't care too much. He already knew that these were all caused by Grand Duke Constantine, and it was normal for the other party to intervene. Moreover, the other party was just a pig teammate, so it didn't matter whether he intervened or not.
Li Xiao smiled slightly and asked: "Really? Then I am very worried. May I ask, what bad impact did my remarks have on the navy?"
Grand Duke Constantine was also speechless, because there was no bad influence at all. Old stubborn people like Yelofey didn't read Li Xiao's papers and articles at all, and didn't pay attention to them at all. If Grand Duke Constantine hadn't requested it, they probably wouldn't have known about it.
What did Li Xiao do? Anyway, they were working step by step as always, and there was no impact at all.
But in order to attack Li Xiao and accuse him, it must be said that it has a bad influence! Otherwise, the play will not work.
But once Li Xiao gets to the bottom of his story, it will be clear whether it has any negative impact.
Grand Duke Constantine hesitated for a long time before saying: "I mean it may have a bad impact, we must take precautions!"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out it is possible! In other words, there are no bad effects yet?"
Now Grand Duke Constantine was immediately embarrassed, and even the whole venue burst into laughter. It was obvious that everyone was not blind, and this trick was really clumsy.
Of course, those who dare to laugh are all foreign friends. Russians are still very honest. Even if they feel extremely funny in their hearts, they can only hold it in. They must wait until the meeting is over before thinking about it carefully and having fun in their hearts.
"Nothing for now..."
It took a long time for Archduke Constantine to hold back such a response, but it was more like a dead duck with a tough mouth, and it had no effect on Li Xiao.
This made Yeluofei a little anxious, and it was a bad start. According to the original plan, Li Xiao should have been labeled and criticized by this time, and the next shipbuilding battle would just be to put a coffin board on the other side.
But now, Li Xiao has thrown away all these forced hats, and there is no handle at all. Even if he wins the shipbuilding battle later, it will be of no use, because they have not caused any bad impact and have not affected nature.
There is no need to take responsibility and we cannot be convicted!
For a moment, Yeluofei was a little panicked. He didn't know whether to continue to accuse him or to enter into a debate on shipbuilding technology. Because this was completely different from what he expected!
The poor old man could only watch Grand Duke Constantine blink frequently, hoping that the other party would give him a clear indication. Naturally, all this was seen by Li Xiao, who couldn't help but said sarcastically: "Colonel Fedinov, your eyes are wrong.
What's the problem? Why do you keep blinking at Grand Duke Constantine? Do you need to call a doctor for you? If you are really uncomfortable, I can wait until you get better to answer your questions. Don't delay your condition!
"
There was another burst of laughter in the venue, and even Lazarev and Bellingshausen, who had been serious before, laughed and shook their heads, because this play was so unsightly and clumsy.
Naturally, Grand Duke Constantine was so angry that he wanted to go up and kick Yeluofe to death: You have a disease in your brain! Why are you blinking at me all the time? Are you afraid that others can't see it? Just go and fight that bastard.
!
"Quiet! Quiet!"
Little Rumyantsev slapped the table hard and ordered Yelofe without any explanation: "Colonel Fedinov, please get to the point as soon as possible!"
Then he reprimanded Li Xiao: "His Excellency Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich, please be careful about your words and deeds! Don't mention anything irrelevant to this inquiry again!"
Li Xiao shrugged, but the disdain on his face was clearly shown. Tolstoy was also a little dissatisfied with Rumyantsev, and whispered in Alexey's ear: "This Second Lord of the Navy
It’s just a sideshow! It’s obviously Yelofei who is too clumsy..."
Alexey also felt that Rumyantsev's attitude was a bit strange. According to his understanding, the Second Navy Minister should be a member of Crown Prince Alexander. Recently, he had frequently visited the Crown Prince's salons and balls, and was often received by the Crown Prince.
He often expressed his loyalty to the emperor, patriotism and support for the crown prince.
Logically speaking, this guy shouldn't be biased towards Grand Duke Constantine, but just now his attitude was clearly towards Grand Duke Constantine. How could this be the case?
Alexey couldn't figure it out, but he had an intuition that there must be something wrong with little Rumyantsev's strange attitude. Is there a conspiracy?
Thinking about it, Alexey immediately turned to little Adlerberg. If there was a conspiracy, it must be related to this guy!
