Seven hundred and twentieth chapters stone throwing strategy
Alexei also felt aggrieved. He was speechless when he thought about how hard they had spent to figure out the secrets inside, but in the end they could do nothing and could only watch.
Anyway, he had no desire to speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking as he sat there.
After a while, Li Xiao took the initiative to break the silence: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I received a message from Leonid in the afternoon. He has almost cleaned up the chaos in Moldavia and asked what to do next."
The suppression of the rebellion in Moldavia did not surprise Alexei at all. Those guys had limited strength to begin with, and now that they did not have the backstage forces in St. Petersburg to protect them, they naturally could not make any trouble.
It’s just that the most important thing in countering rebellion is not to eliminate the rebellious parties, but to stabilize the order in Moldavia. To be honest, at the level of Grand Duke Constantine, if left alone, sooner or later there will be rebellion in Moldavia.
"Are you thinking about Kostya?" Alexei asked.
Li Xiao nodded candidly and said: "Moldavia can't let chaos happen again, and Kostya is not a man of his word, he has to guard against it!"
Alexey nodded understandingly: "It is indeed necessary to have a good talk with him. Should you go or should I go?"
Li Xiao shook his head and said: "We are not suitable. The situation here is too complicated. We must stay in Wallachia. My opinion is to let Vishnyak go..."
Alexei was stunned because he remembered that Li Xiao had just told Vishnyak to be responsible for contacting Bulgaria and inciting them to fight guerrillas. Why was he suddenly asked to go to Moldavia?
Could it be that Li Xiao changed his mind?
"I haven't changed my mind," Li Xiao shook his head and said, "Vishniak still has to be responsible for Bulgaria's affairs, we just asked him to make an extra trip to Chisinau. He is the most suitable candidate, Boris is really not suitable
Do this..."
Of course Boris is not suitable, but Alexei has no confidence in Vishnyak. After all, Grand Duke Constantine is not an ordinary person. For ordinary people, let alone warning him, it is good that he will not be at a loss when seeing him.
Even if Vishnyak is not an ordinary person, it is not reliable to teach a powerful prince with his weight!
"Vishnyak is our best and only choice," Li Xiao said slowly, "otherwise, who would you let go? Leonid?"
Alexey suddenly smiled bitterly, it would be damned if Leonid could do this job.
He sighed and said, "When do you plan for Vishniak to set off?"
"The sooner the better! Because he has to go to Constantinople to meet the Bulgarians!"
Alexey was surprised. He didn't expect Li Xiao to be so anxious. He thought that the work of mobilizing the Bulgarians was still in its early stages, and he was still trying to build bridges. Who would have thought that the bridges were already built? What kind of efficiency is this?
!
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "There is no other way. Our situation is very tight, so we can only step up our actions!" He also added meaningfully: "We don't have much time left!"
Alexei's heart was hanging again. Although he knew that time was urgent, the urgency was still beyond his imagination.
Gu Da
After thinking for a while, he said: "Then let's go ahead and do it. I have already reached an agreement with Duke Mikhail. The Turks' weapons and equipment are ready, and he can even help us send them to Bulgaria!"
Li Xiao was not very happy when he heard the news, and the reason was very simple. Duke Mikhail was not an easy talker, and it was absolutely impossible to get something from him without paying a price.
But this time he was not as generous as usual, which also showed that the situation on the battlefield was very unfavorable. He now urgently needed someone to help him share the pressure.
"Is there a lot of pressure on the Duke's side?" Li Xiao asked.
Alexey nodded silently. After the Turks received assistance from Britain and France, although their individual combat effectiveness was still not as good as that of the Russian army, their equipment disadvantages were made up for. Especially this group of pagans who were not afraid of death at all and launched a charge.
It comes one after another, which is really too much to bear.
This week alone, the Russian army on the front line in Constanta repelled more than 50 attacks by the Turkish army of more than a thousand soldiers, and there were countless smaller-scale harassments.
The Russian troops on the front line have been exhausted and war-weary has begun to spread. A few Wallachia and Moldavia servants have even deserted.
If this continues, although the defense line will not collapse, morale will definitely be ruined. Duke Mikhail urgently needs to boost morale, or in other words, urgently needs a victory to interrupt the Turkish army's rising momentum.
"So he hopes that we can give the Turkish army some color as soon as possible and harass the Turkish army's rear as much as possible?"
Alexei suddenly smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said: "I know that according to your plan, you are not actually planning to attack the Turkish army directly from the beginning, but the pressure on the Duke is very high, and his only condition is to let the front line get out of the way as soon as possible.
The Turkish army’s attention should be diverted a little..."
Alexey needless to say what follows. Li Xiao has already understood everything. Although he has some complaints about Duke Mikhail's request, Li Xiao can understand that he has no choice but to do it. If there is no other way, he will not be in a critical condition.
Indiscriminate medical treatment.
Li Xiao touched his chin and fell into deep thought. If he wanted to meet Duke Mikhail's requirements, it would definitely not be enough to rely on those Bulgarians alone.
Those guys are a complete mob, and they may be barely qualified to bully Turkey's landlords and wealthy people.
But it would be difficult for them to face the Turkish army directly, even if it was just to face heavy logistical troops.
In other words, if you want to achieve Duke Mikhail's request, Li Xiao and his friends must be truly elite.
"It's time to call Boris back!" Li Xiao replied calmly.
Alexey also nodded: "Is it enough to rely on Boris's more than a thousand people?"
"It's definitely not enough!" Li Xiao sighed, "But only his people are the most suitable, and even though the rebellion in Moldavia has subsided, if we allocate too many troops at once, there will still be chaos there. First
Asking Boris to go to Bulgaria to make trouble can be regarded as asking for directions!"
Casting stones to ask for directions?
Alexei did not expect that Li Xiao would say this. Obviously, his confidence was not particularly strong. But this is understandable. Although Boris's more than a thousand people were trained according to the model of scouts, they have certain abilities.
We have experience in operating behind enemy lines, but this time the situation is different after all. We are completely separated from our own front and operating on the enemy side. The difficulties and troubles we face are not ordinary!
