For Voronin, Anton's request was too simple. To be honest, he really didn't want to go to the study to try his luck. If something went wrong, he would sell it to him immediately because Milanchuk's urinary properties were not good enough.
If he can save his life for free and work as an official without taking any risks, wouldn't he be a fool if he doesn't want to receive this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing?
He immediately agreed, but Anton immediately warned: "Don't think this job is easy, and don't take it lightly! Ulanov is cunning and suspicious. The last time he used a little trick, he dug out a secret.
There are so many people, I don’t rule out that he will deliberately set up traps to lure you into taking the bait next time, so don’t go out of your way to inquire about information, and don’t do anything that can easily arouse suspicion. Time is on our side, and I believe Ulanov will be unable to sit still soon.
Don’t show your flaws.”
Anton's analysis makes sense. Time is indeed on their side. Every day is extremely precious to Ulanov. He never knows whether Dmitry Milyutin or Kornilov will suddenly lead the way.
The army entered Kiev.
Once these two people come, he will have no chance at all, and there will really be only a dead end!
So he must take action no matter what, whether it is trying to get back the money on the sunken ship or trying to appease the rebels outside the city who have been let go again, he cannot sit still!
In this case, to put it bluntly, Anton just needs to wait for Ulanov to make a mistake. Is it possible that he will not make a mistake?
This possibility is very slim. It is undeniable that he is indeed cunning, but there is a saying that no conspiracy can be hidden in the face of absolute strength. Although Nakhimov and Anton are not strong enough to crush them now,
Him, but it was enough to make him jump.
Soon Voronin and Milanchuk discovered that he frequently contacted Kiev Police Chief Nikolai Husky.
Speaking of which, Nikolay Hirsky actually has a very low presence in Ukraine and Kiev. He is almost a marginal character. Above him is the mayor of Kiev, the third unit of Ukraine and Kiev, and even Anton.
This military police commander can control him.
He is like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law with a bunch of mothers-in-law above her head. In addition to being cautious on weekdays, she is afraid that the bosses above her will make fun of him if they are not happy.
That is to say, Ulanov really has no one available at the moment. Apart from the personal guards of the Governor's Palace, he can't mobilize any military force, so he has no choice but to try to win over him, who also has some policemen.
For Heskey, the governor suddenly looked at him with a high look, and he was naturally overjoyed. Even though he had heard some rumors and knew that Ulanov was a bit of a memorizer, it didn't matter to him!
Even if Ulanov continues to memorize words, he is still better than his little wife who is a wife. Besides, who can guarantee that Ulanov will not have a chance to make a comeback? After all, His Majesty the Emperor has not dismissed him from his post, at least it means that
His Majesty the Emperor still trusts him and is willing to give him a chance. At this time, hurry up and hug your thighs. Maybe it won't be long before he can follow the chickens and dogs to heaven?
And to say the least, how can he not obey the orders given to him by the Governor? It is his right to give orders to a small police chief, okay?
This is probably the so-called wish-fulfillment. Anyway, this Husky is quite happy and even a little proud, and he looks very happy!
"What did Ulanov do to win over this idiot?"
Nakhimov was baffled by this, because the police chief really didn't have much power, and the number of policemen under his command was only a few thousand. In a big city like Kiev, these few people could only make do to maintain law and order.
Moreover, these policemen basically do not have long guns, and most of them only have a baton. When encountering regular soldiers with live ammunition, they will only be pressed to the ground and rubbed.
The most important thing is that the entire city of Kiev is now under martial law, which means that the entire city is under military control. What can these police do?
Anton also felt that Ulanov's move was a bit strange. He thought for a long time and thought that the only possibility was to sink the ship:
"As far as I know, the Kiev Police Department has marine police. Although they are small sampans, they can still be used to escape from Kiev..."
But he himself felt that this guess was not particularly reliable, because what if Ulanov could use these small sampans to escape from Kiev? All the money he had on hand was in the water. Even if he escaped, what would he use to clear it?
relation?
What's more, as long as he dared to run away, Nakhimov would dare to arrest him immediately. He would be slapped with the charge of abandoning the city and running away. Before he could get to St. Petersburg, arrest warrants would probably be posted all over Russia.
.
With his intelligence, it was impossible not to know what would happen if he escaped, and besides, how could his small sampan outrun the steamships of the Black Sea Fleet? Nakhimov could easily capture him if he wanted to.
Escape is simply suicidal!
"I don't know what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd!" Anton laughed bitterly.
Nakhimov waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "It doesn't matter, I believe he will take action soon, we will just wait and see!"
Nakhimov was more concerned about the movements of the rebels than the trivial matter of wooing Hesky. He asked: "Have you figured out his connection with the rebels?"
Anton shook his head and said: "I incited two of his cronies to rebel again, but the old fox was very guarded against this kind of thing, and these two people had no access to this information. I told them to pay close attention, and if there is any
I’ll know the situation right away!”
Nakhimov nodded, very satisfied with Anton's performance. If Anton had not made preparations in advance, Ulanov would have run away with the money, and the situation he would have faced when he arrived in Kiev would have been even worse.
It can even be said that without Anton, Kiev would probably have fallen, which fully illustrates his ability!
He patted Anton on the shoulder and praised: "Prince Andrei told me that intelligence work was indispensable, but I didn't take it seriously. You have proved with facts that he was indeed right. Without you,
I am afraid that Kiev will fall into catastrophe, which is definitely worthy of the Order of St. Andre!"
Anton didn't think so much. Although he had thwarted some of Ulanov's plots, the situation in Kiev was far from good, not to mention that Ulanov, a serious enemy, was still there.
Nothing careless.
He didn't want to end up with the result of a person who traveled hundreds of miles and half a century, so he immediately suggested: "I think it is too passive to just wait. Can we try to contact this Husky?"
