Alexey knew that Duke Mikhail was anxious, but he didn't expect him to be so anxious. In his opinion, sabotage behind enemy lines was nothing more than a small fuss. Even if it could cause some trouble to the enemy, he expected to rely on it to share the burden on the front.
The pressure on the battlefield is too unrealistic.
However, even though Duke Mikhail specially sent someone to urge him, he had to make a gesture. He entertained Duke Mikhail's adjutant in a pleasant manner, and then told him that everything was going smoothly and there would be results soon.
Of course, after the adjutant left, Alexei also changed his expression. Although he didn't pay much attention to this matter, he also knew that according to Li Xiao's plan, he would first strengthen the training of the Bulgarians and help them train qualified soldiers as soon as possible.
Then they will intervene in the battle.
If the Bulgarians are better trained, it is very likely that Boris's people will not directly intervene in the battle, but will be engaged in training and ensuring the safety of fund transportation.
Alexey hopes that it is best that this is the case. It is best not to play if one of your own people does not play. Bullets have short eyes, so let the Bulgarians fill the holes themselves.
"It's not that simple," Li Xiao sighed after hearing about this: "Vishniak and Boris said that the Bulgarians have a big problem. On the surface, there are quite a few people organized, but most of them are just a ragtag group of people with little fighting ability."
Not worth mentioning at all.”
As he spoke, he sighed again and continued: "And the composition is complicated. Many of them are serfs and servants of the local nobles. In fact, they are their private armies. These guys are following the instructions but not the propaganda, and they just want to take advantage of us.
Free weapons and ammunition..."
Alexei opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but he had already been mentally prepared for this. The Bulgarian's slutty behavior seemed to him too normal. Everyone has selfish motives, and his and Li Xiao's selfish motives came from Bulgaria.
They want to grab some money, and it is reasonable for the Bulgarians to be selfish and get weapons from them for free!
Anyway, everyone has their own interests and wants to get what they want, so it is not appropriate to insist on the outline and the line.
"Then what is Vishnyak going to do? It's impossible to give them weapons and ammunition for free, right?"
"Of course not. He is not that stupid. He has almost reached an agreement. If he wants weapons and ammunition, he has to give something in exchange."
Alexey frowned and asked: "Exchange something? Money?"
Li Xiao laughed and said: "Both he and the Bulgarians can't be that stupid. Exchanging money is a business, and our purpose is not just to make money, and it's too ugly to make money and eat like that. We will inevitably be hated by the Bulgarians."
In my mind...we will be at a huge disadvantage as we play away from home again!"
"Then what is he going to do?"
"Weapons and ammunition have to be exchanged for Turkish heads, which is about three heads plus ten rubles for a rifle..."
Alexey was stunned, because such an operation was simply unheard of. Money may be a small problem for Bulgarians, but the Turks' brains are a big problem.
If they want weapons and ammunition, they can only massacre the Turks. The Turks are not leeks that can be harvested at will.
This forces Bulgaria to become enemies with Turkey, and even if the Bulgarians go out to harvest the Turks, the Turks will always go crazy, and they will definitely be surrounded and suppressed. At that time, with the firepower of the Bulgarians, it was impossible not to defeat the Turks.
If you suffer a loss, it is simply impossible to unilaterally strengthen your power.
In this way, the Bulgarians can only bite the bullet and confront the Turks head-on, and they will inevitably have to rely more and more on their assistance, which will make it easier to control them.
"What a loss. You must have come up with this idea!"
Gu Niao
Faced with Alexei's accusation, Li Xiao spread his hands and said: "I really didn't come up with this. I just reminded Vishnyak and asked him to try to make the Bulgarians and Turks enmity. Only in this way will they
Only then will they obey our arrangements.”
Alexey asked: "Are the Bulgarians willing to do this?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Of course I won't! It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that there are always those who are bold and unafraid of death. After all, not all Bulgarian nobles have a good life. There are always those who are fed up with enough anger and losses and are ready to risk their lives. This is how Vishniak and Boris found this
A few of them, they are happy to exchange Turkish heads for things!”
Alexei's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe that a Bulgarian would really be fooled, because it was obvious that he was drinking poison to quench his thirst!
Li Xiao replied leisurely: "For some Bulgarians, drinking poison to quench their thirst is better than starving to death on the spot!"
Alexey suddenly stopped talking. If it was a few years ago, he would not believe it, but now he has seen too many living conditions of the people at the bottom, and he knows that for those desperate people, as long as they have a mouth to eat, they can eat anything.
Everyone is willing to do it.
Li Xiao added: "Of course, these people are still relatively small, so we must add fuel to the fire!"
Alexey subconsciously knew that this fire would definitely make the Bulgarians more uncomfortable. Someone's clever ideas and cunning operations were no joke.
"what are you planning to do?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "I hope the propaganda department will increase its efforts to report on the great achievements of the Bulgarians behind enemy lines. We must let the whole of Europe notice that they are on our side, especially let the Turks notice that the Bulgarians have done what they have done."
If necessary, you can make up more stories and exaggerate their achievements..."
Alexei couldn't laugh or cry. If Vishniak's method was only seventy-seven times destructive, then Li Xiao's move was extremely vicious. This was like putting the Bulgarians on the fire.
Think about it, they are incompatible with the Turks, and then the whole of Europe knows that Russia is turning against Turkey for Bulgaria. At this time, the Bulgarians are still stabbing Turkey in the back. Do you think the Turks will make it easier for them?
It's hard to say that some bad-tempered Turks will retaliate. As long as they keep the fire going, they will surely be killed in a massacre. At that time, they won't be able to stop even if they want to.
Alexei took a deep breath and admired Li Xiao's despicableness. Only a mind like his could come up with such a vicious and disgusting conspiracy.
"The Bulgarians will probably be mad at you!" he sighed.
"That's what they asked for!" Li Xiao replied nonchalantly.
Yes, his view of the Bulgarian nobility is really not good. Although the main responsibility for this war lies with the ambition of Nicholas I. But, some Bulgarian nobles also played a role in stoking the fire. If they hadn't been jumping up and down all the time,
, Nicholas I may not be so determined, but after the war broke out, the performance of these guys was really speechless.
Li Xiao felt that it was reasonable for them to pay a price!
