Li Xiaoyuan was not as optimistic as Vishnyak and Petukhov. He asked the question to the point: "What does it mean to complete the task before July 1st? This is too general. Without specific indicators, how can we measure whether we have completed the task?
?What should we do if we start arguing?"
Kornilov immediately showed admiration. He felt that the teacher Lazarev was right about Li Xiao. This bastard grand duke with a bad reputation was indeed shrewd and meticulous, and he could not hide any problems.
his eyes.
When he first bargained with his superiors, when the superiors offered this favorable condition, even he was a little careless and did not realize the hidden traps in this task requirement.
If you complete the task before July 1st, how do you call it completed? How do you call it not completed? If there are no specific quantitative indicators, Li Xiao and others feel that they have completed it, but the superiors deliberately make things difficult and insist that you have not completed it. Wouldn't it be like crying at that time?
No tears.
Fortunately, Lazarev discovered this problem at that time and immediately asked how to complete the task. After some bargaining, specific goals were set.
"To be specific, your task is to find out the city defense situation of the three cities, find out the specific number and number of the defenders, and preferably get the defense map. These three cities are Iasi in Moldavia,
Lacz and Bucharest in Wallachia.”
Iasi is located in the hilly forests of northern Moldavia, very close to Bessarabia (later Moldova), which was annexed by Russia after the Eighth Russo-Turkish War, almost on the border. This city is very important.
Known as the cradle of Romanian culture.
Galati is located in the southeast of Moldavia, also close to Bessarabia. This city is located on the lower reaches of the Danube River, and to the southeast is the Danube Delta. It is connected to the Black Sea by water and is a port city. In the mid-19th century
, is considered an important sea port in Moldavia.
As for Bucharest, this city needs no introduction. It will be the capital of Romania in the future, and it is also the capital of the Principality of Wallachia today. It is a very important hub city.
These three cities are indeed very important key points, but in terms of location and importance, Bucharest is undoubtedly more important and more difficult to detect.
Unlike Iasi and Galati, which are very close to Bessarabia, Bucharest goes deep into the hinterland of Wallachia and is not bordering Bessarabia. There is even no way to cross the border and enter directly.
To get to Bucharest, you have to cross Moldavia. The shortest route is to first arrive in Galats and then enter Wallachia. This way you have to cross two borders, and you are completely alone behind enemy lines and there are many difficulties.
It can almost be said that this task is more than ten times more difficult than the previous two. With the anti-Russian attitude of Wallachia, if it fails, it will cost thousands of miles to kill someone.
So Kornilov said: "Since the reconnaissance in Bucharest is too difficult, I will divide this mission into two. One team will be responsible for Iasi and Galati, and the other team will be responsible for Bucharest. You can discuss it.
Let me know how to allocate the results specifically!"
After saying that, Kornilov stopped talking nonsense and sat back in his seat without any intention of giving direct orders to make allocations.
The reason is also very simple, because it is more fair. Even if he likes Li Xiao very much, it is not easy to let Petukhov and his boys die. After all, the source of this trouble is caused by Li Xiao and Petukh.
Hough was just unlucky and was implicated.
Vishniak and Petukhov looked at me and I looked at you. They were both pleased and pained by Kornilov's abandonment. Neither of them wanted to go to Bucharest, which was more dangerous. How could they convince the other, or
How about a straightforward bargain?
Just as the two men were muttering secretly and preparing to make an offer, Li Xiao said directly to Petukhov: "Colonel, we choose Bucharest, and you go to Moldavia. Our previous grudges will be wiped out, and then you owe us a favor.
how?"
Vishniak was stunned, while Petukhov was overjoyed and agreed hurriedly: "Okay! Your Excellency, the Grand Duke is really happy! I have made you a friend. If you have any requests in the future, as long as I, Petukhov
As long as my husband is still alive, there will be no ambiguity!"
"no problem!"
With that, Li Xiao stretched out his right hand to him, and the two shook hands tightly. Then Petukhov stopped talking nonsense, said goodbye to Kornilov and left.
"Andreka, why did you agree like that!" Vishniak was a little anxious, "You don't know what's going on in Bucharest! Even if you choose that place, you can add more conditions!"
Judging from what Vishniak said, he actually knew that the blame for Bucharest must fall on them, and he also knew that they couldn't escape. What he was struggling with was whether he could use this to get more benefits from Petukhov. Who
Thinking of Li Xiao, the deal was sealed immediately.
Vishnyak's performance made Kornilov, who was watching nearby, feel a little emotional. The 748th Regiment was indeed very capable. The battalion commander and deputy battalion commander were both very high-level. Knowing that Bucharest would definitely not be able to escape, he didn't even think about it.
Escaped.
Unlike some idiots who know that the situation is irreversible and still want to make unnecessary efforts, these two are directly preparing to make more profits from this.
"Vishka, that's not necessary," Li Xiao said calmly, "That Colonel Petukhov is actually a nice person. It's always a good thing to have many friends. And we actually got him involved in this matter, so there's no need.
No more taking advantage of this little advantage..."
Speaking of this, Li Xiao suddenly smiled evilly and said: "What's more, in my opinion, we actually took advantage of it by choosing Bucharest!"
Vishniak was stunned. In fact, he was not the only one. Kornilov was also shocked. They all felt that Bucharest was the dragon's pond and the tiger's den. Going there was equivalent to traveling to the tiger mountain knowing that there were tigers in the mountains. How could it get into Li Xiao's mouth?
Has it become an advantage?
Vishniak immediately stepped forward and touched his forehead, muttering: "You don't have a fever?" As he said this, the guy clapped his hands and said in realization: "That's because you are hungover and haven't woken up yet. What are you doing?"
Talking nonsense!"
Li Xiao pushed him away angrily and explained: "I am very sober! This is not a drunken talk, nor is it nonsense! Bucharest is indeed not as dangerous as you think!"
Kornilov immediately became interested. He immediately sat up straight and asked eagerly: "Your Excellency, why do you say that? Are there any specific reasons and reasons?"
