To be honest, Leonid was full of irritation because of this. In his opinion, the order given by Menshikov and Grand Duke Constantine to Li Xiao and the others was really unreasonable and nonsensical. They were naval infantry and If they weren't the military police in the third part, why did the job of spying on intelligence fall on them?
And they also have to go deep into the enemy's heart to spy on intelligence. Damn, you really think they are supermen wearing underpants. Can they handle this kind of mission?
Therefore, Leonid protested strongly at that time, and the lawsuit was once brought to the imperial court, and finally Nicholas I finally settled it with his golden words - that's all.
Anyway, Leonid was so angry that he dropped the cup. He also knew that Nicholas I was probably happy to see this situation happen, so he would not embarrass Menshikov and Kon who came up with such a good idea. Grand Duke Standing instead praised them and looked very relieved.
Originally, Leonid was planning to come to Alexei to find a solution. After all, Alexei was working in the third film, and he was engaged in intelligence. He could definitely listen to this professional's opinion and see what he had. What a good idea.
Yes, Leonid subconsciously thought that Leonid had a way to solve Li Xiao's problem. He never thought about the possibility that Alexei also had numb claws. But when he came to visit, he suddenly heard He said that his good friend was about to leave for the turbulent and chaotic Austria, and he immediately became unwilling to increase the burden on his good friend.
But who was Alexei? He knew Leonid too well. As a child, he was familiar with all of Leonid's micro-expressions. Leonid could not hide his deep worry in front of him.
"Dear friend, don't lie. I know something must have happened on your side," Alexei tried half-truthfully: "It has something to do with Andre, right? People in the third film have heard the news..."
Leonid's eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed without knowing the truth: "You all know? Oh my God, isn't that the end of the world!"
Alexei smiled bitterly in his heart: [Sure enough, something happened. And it's very bad. I don't know if I can help. Hey...]
But on the surface, he was extremely calm and said calmly: "Tell me, I just heard some gossip. What happened?"
The honest Leonid saw that he could no longer hide anything, so he could only explain the matter clearly. Suddenly, Alexei's expression became a little strange. He did not expect that Li Xiao and the others were ordered to go to Va. Lakiya went to that hellish place to engage in military intelligence. Are they just so destined?
However, these years just passed by in a flash, and Alexei immediately realized the danger. Even for a professional like him who engaged in intelligence, going to Wallachia was full of dangers, but what could half-hearted guys like Li Xiao and others do? ?Did he really cross the border secretly?
Actually, it's not difficult to cross the border secretly. What's difficult is how to get intelligence after crossing the border secretly. According to the requirements of the Navy Ministry, the requirements are very high. You still have to go to Bucharest. Damn, it's such a long way. Li Xiao and the others are How is it possible to do this if you are not familiar with the place?
Alexey suddenly became irritable, because this task was so immoral and vicious, it was almost to make Li Xiao and the others die!
But Alexey quickly realized that for Li Xiao and the others, it was indeed a death sentence, but for him it was not. Moreover, he was going to Wallachia and Bucharest, so it was convenient. You can help your poor friends complete their tasks.
Alexei suddenly had an idea when he thought of this. He whispered in Leonid's ear: "You should write a letter to Andrei and the others immediately and tell them not to force their way into Wallachia. That is
Death. It is impossible for them to complete the mission!"
"My friend, to tell you the truth, my trip this time is not to Budapest, but also to Bucharest. I have many local friends there, and I can help you get relevant information by the way. Leave this matter to me...
…”
"After it's done, I will send the relevant information to Constantinople through secret channels in Serbia, and then pass it on to Andre and the others for communication... Just let Andre and the others wait with peace of mind, it will be fine!"
Leonid was not happy, because Li Xiao's trouble was relieved, but another good friend wanted to go deep into the dangerous place. This was like rejecting the tiger through the front door and entering the wolf through the back door. Both sides were his good friends and brothers. He really didn't want to
Hope either party takes the risk.
Leonid said with relief: "For Andrei and the others, this trip is risky, because they have never done my job before, and they have no one to rely on, so they are dead and without life! But I am different, I am behind
It is a huge third film, with sufficient funding and personnel, as well as local connections, so the risk is not high. Even if my identity is exposed, the Romanians will not dare to do anything to me!"
"But Andrei and the others are different. Not only do they have no one they can rely on, but they also have Grand Duke Constantine and Menshikov looking for trouble. Once their identities are exposed, the officials will not try their best to rescue them, but will be willing to use the knife to kill people."
"At that time, the annoying bastard Grand Duke Andrei will be eliminated by the hands of the Romanians, and he will also have an excuse to legally enter Wallachia. Do you think that His Majesty will miss this golden opportunity with his personality?
"
Leonid suddenly trembled, and then realized that the risk was greater than he thought, so he could only hold Alexey's hand tightly and said:
"My friend, on behalf of Andre and the others, I would like to thank you for your generosity and selflessness. Your character is purer than snow, and your friendship is more precious than gold. Please be careful, we are waiting for your safe return!
"
Alexei didn't talk nonsense anymore, gave Leonid a bear hug and patted him hard on the back: "Take care, my friend!"
Alexey's carriage disappeared under the horizon, and Leonid returned to his home full of thoughts. However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the housekeeper rushing over:
"Master, Grand Duke Andrei has sent you an urgent message from Odessa. The envelope has the top secret mark you told him!"
Leonid nodded, took the letter and returned to his study. He estimated that the orders of Grand Duke Constantine and Menshikov had been conveyed to Odessa, and Li Xiao might have asked him for advice. If it hadn't been for Ah
Alexey, he was really confused this time and didn't know how to reply. But now, although he was worried about Alexey, he felt somewhat confident.
However, when Leonid opened the envelope and read the letter, his expression suddenly changed, because Li Xiao laid out the entire plan in the letter and told him that he had entered Wallachia via Constanta...
