In Li Xiao's view, Russia's protection of Romania can only be described as a failure. It neither established a controlling puppet regime nor won the recognition and support of the Romanian people.
These two most important tasks are a complete mess, with no bright spots at all. People really don’t know how to evaluate them.
Of course, to be honest, it is definitely difficult to do both of these two things well. Almost no one in the world can do it. Russia can't do it, France can't do it, and the British can't do it now. After all, it's hard to win over people's hearts.
It is especially difficult for an outsider to influence the local indigenous people.
However, Russia is not without convenient conditions in this regard. First of all, there is a Turkish master who Romania hates even more, who is fronting the hatred. How can hundreds of years of national hatred be forgotten?
Secondly, Russia also has the great killer weapon of the Orthodox Church, which is the biggest thing the two countries have in common.
But what is shocking is that after more than ten years of operating in Wallachia and Moldavia, the Russians have only accomplished one thing, successfully replacing the Turks as the Romanians' most hated target.
What kind of magical means can this be accomplished? This makes people speechless, okay?
What’s even more ridiculous is that since Russia is no better than other invaders and colonizers and can’t use gentle methods well, then its iron-fisted methods must be hard enough, right?
What's ridiculous is that there is no iron fist or power. The Bibescu puppet regime that was established is basically paper, and it was blown away by a gust of wind. In short, Russia is a joke in Romania, and everything
Not done well.
What is not funny to Li Xiao is that through this joke, it can be clearly seen that Russia is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and the polar bear is nothing more than a bluff.
Although historically the national liberation movements in Wallachia and Moldavia were quickly extinguished by the Russian army and did not cause any waves, that was in history. Li Xiao still knew about the butterfly effect. Who knows?
Can you guarantee that his arrival will not bring about a series of chain reactions, allowing some old foxes in Britain and France to see through Russia's lies?
Once Russia's falsehoods are seen through, and when the polar bears can't scare Britain and France by showing their teeth and claws, the two countries will definitely teach the polar bears a lesson because of their dissatisfaction with Russia's expansion. You know, there are many in London these days.
British politicians are clamoring to completely dismember Tsarist Russia and solve the big problem of polar bears once and for all.
Once Russia fell into such a predicament, with Nicholas I's donkey temper, he would definitely rather be in pieces than in ruins. It would definitely be a full-scale resistance. By then, the scale of the war would be extremely large, and the number of people affected would be extremely wide.
An unpleasant bastard like Li Xiao will never escape the fate of being cannon fodder.
Li Xiao is not interested in being a dead unknown hero. He has no feelings for Russia. He just wants to live happily and happily. To escape that terrible fate, he may have to work harder in Romania, at least
Russia must be allowed to put down this "rebellion" as easily as it did in history without making too many mistakes.
"Compatriots, we must take up arms and fight the Russians. Only by defeating the Russians can we gain true freedom..."
Listening to the passionate speeches of Romanian national liberation propagandists outside the window, Li Xiao felt helpless. Along the way, he could see similar scenes in cities and villages. Farmers and handicraftsmen were gathered together and indoctrinated.
The idea of Russian hatred.
Maybe you won't see anything in a day or two, but as time goes by, the seeds will sprout and grow.
"These Romanians listen very carefully, but I don't know if they understand." Anton commented with a sour taste.
Yes, Anton is a little envious of these Romanians. It is impossible to see such a scene in Russia. The military police in the third part are all sharper than dogs. They can't hide the slightest trouble from them, let alone a public meeting.
and gave a speech, and it was about national democracy and freedom.
The latter two are high-risk words in Russia. According to Nicholas I, these words should not be in the dictionary. Let alone saying them openly, thinking about them in the mind is a crime.
Russia's high-pressure policy is really suffocating, but in faraway Romania, this is something that everyone can say and everyone can trust. It would be strange for Anton not to envy him.
Li Xiao also sighed: "Why can't you understand? Even if you don't understand now, you will understand in the future. Because this is inevitable!"
Anton didn't understand why it was inevitable, but seeing that Li Xiao was not in a good mood, he did not ask further questions, but changed the topic and asked: "Sir, how should we start this trip?"
Anton was really curious about this, because when he set out, he only knew that he was going to Bucharest to explore the way, but he had no idea how to explore the way. After all, the entire 748th Group should be unfamiliar with that city, and there was no way to
utilization relationship.
"There's really no network to tap into."
Li Xiao also sighed. This is the biggest problem he faces. He can only fight alone. This kind of action actually requires the cooperation of several departments in the entire system, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Third Department. But the problem is that
It is impossible for the two departments to cooperate with him, and he does not trust each other.
"But the road always comes out. In Constanta, no one thought we could succeed, but haven't we entered Wallachia safely now? Miracles are always created by people, and I believe we are
A group of people who can create miracles!”
If someone else wanted to create a miracle, no one in the Second Company would believe it, but if the person speaking was Li Xiao, it would be completely different. When someone first came to the Second Company, who would believe that he could overthrow Messadov?
?Who believes that he can keep his word and keep the whole company and even the whole regiment fed, clothed and living like a human being?
Although Li Xiao usually doesn't speak much in the whole regiment and his position is not high, he has a very high degree of support in the 748 regiment. The whole regiment, whether they know him or not, all trust him inexplicably, because
He does what he says!
The same is true for Anton. Since the company commander said it can create miracles, it must be possible to create miracles. We mortals can just follow the company commander.
Li Xiao really didn't expect Anton and the others to be so confident, because this guy actually has no confidence at all. Wallachia is no better than Constanta. Even if the Turks don't like the Russians, they don't dare to openly quarrel with them.
The Romanians do not have this concern. If the risk in Constanta is 10, then the risk in Bucharest is 100.
They couldn't be compared at all. The most important thing was that he didn't even think about how to go about this step of exploring. Should he contact Uncle David's friends? Or should he try it out on his own?
