Shuvanov was not bored watching the show. He was also surprised by Petukhov's reaction. What kind of weirdo would talk to the famous Count Speransky like this? I didn't know that this count
Is he the boss here?
You are tantamount to saying in front of your boss that you want to miss work, and in front of your class teacher that you want to miss class. Are you looking for death?
In Shuvanov's eyes, Petukhov is a real idiot and a fool. Otherwise, how could he be so stupid?
However, he is also willing to watch Petukhov destroy himself, because he also dislikes this guy. If he can anger Alexey, it will be better if he is destroyed by the latter, and it will save him trouble.
Son.
Alexei was also speechless for a while. He glanced at Petukhov and then at Fontana who was watching. His heart was full of criticism: [Let me go, why did the superiors send such a person?
Come here, weird! Is this intentional to cause trouble?】
Fontana was also a little surprised. She also thought that Shuvanov should be the one who caused the trouble and the assassination, but now it is Petukhov who is taking the lead in not cooperating. What the hell is this?
However, she thought a little deeper than Alexey. Although Petukhov seemed like a troublemaker, his attitude was not offensive, nor was he malicious or disgusting. He was more like that
I don't want to take risks and just want to paddle.
Although this kind of attitude is not a good one, it is much gentler than that of a potentially dangerous troublemaker like Shuvanov. At least you don't have to worry about him stabbing you in the back. After all, they just want to save their lives.
What's more, what Petukhov said was true. The Cossacks he had were indeed not good at secret activities such as assassinations, and they didn't say they wouldn't help. They just actively asked to be supporting actors and green leaves, and only cooperated.
So she interjected: "Earl, what the colonel said makes some sense. His people are indeed not suitable to be the main force. Is it a good choice to cooperate with us in our operations?"
Although Alexey couldn't figure out what Fontana meant, judging from what she said for Petukhov, her meaning was very clear, that is, to stop him from falling out with Petukhov and to stabilize him temporarily.
"Um!"
Alexey nodded dullly. Although he was not happy, he still agreed. But he really didn’t want to grind his teeth with Petukhov. According to his idea, since you took the initiative to apply to be a green leaf, then you should be honest and honest.
Go green!
So he turned to Shuvanov, who was more interested in the assassination, and started discussing the action: "Our target must be the highest-status gangster. Killing one can scare a large number. So I selected a
A batch of potential targets, you see which one is suitable!"
Alexey said, "Look, take a look," but without even looking in Petukhov's direction, he handed the prepared list to Shuvanov.
"I personally suggest that you choose one of the Bretianu brothers, the Catalju family and others. Not only do they have high status, they are also die-hard anti-Russians and must be punished!"
Shuvanov was also looking at this list. He had done his homework before accepting the task, so he naturally knew which people were staunch anti-Russian elements and which people should be killed to serve as a warning to others. So for Alexei’s list
It’s also quite agreeable.
It's just that after reading it, he didn't hand it to Petukhov, but handed it back to Alexei, simply ignoring Petukhov.
Naturally, it was a bit unpleasant for Petukhov to do this. Although he said that he was only willing to cooperate, he did not say that he would not participate in the operation at all. And what do you two mean by this? You just excluded my opinions and even
You didn’t even show me the list?
But Petukhov didn't say anything, and he didn't bother to ask for the list to take a look. The idea was very clear. Since you two are so good at making decisions, well, if the assassination fails, you will take the blame yourself.
Okay. So he simply folded his hands in front of his chest, looked at his eyes, nose, mouth, mouth and heart, and just ignored it.
However, before Alexei took over the list, Fontana interrupted: "Colonel Petukhov, please take a look at the list. If you have any comments or suggestions, how about we discuss it together?"
Petukhov thought Fontana was more pleasing to his eye, and felt that this woman was better at being a person and doing things than Alexei, so he didn’t show any face to her, but just smiled and said: “You’re welcome, I’m just a rough guy.
, only knows how to fight, and is not good at anything else... Since the Earl and the Colonel both feel that there is no problem with the list, then we will do it according to their wishes... My opinion is not important, I am only responsible for cooperation!"
It sounds like there is nothing wrong with this at first, but it doesn't sound that way when you think about it carefully. Petukhov's meaning is very clear - whoever makes the decision will be responsible for taking the blame. Anyway, he is responsible for cooperation and will not take any unnecessary responsibility.
bear!
To put it bluntly, this is a euphemistic way of saying that he does not support or participate. Alexey's face suddenly became even more ugly, and he felt that Petukhov was a bit annoying.
But Fontana was different from him. She still said to Petukhov pleasantly: "Colonel, you are too humble. Who doesn't know that you are a famous combat hero and you have always been brave and resourceful. In this operation,
With you participating in the planning, it will definitely be more perfect and foolproof!"
Alexey was a little strange and didn't understand why Fontana was so good to Petukhov, and kept trying to bring him in. However, although he didn't understand the reason, it didn't stop him from respecting Fontana's opinion.
So he suppressed his unhappiness and invited: "Colonel, please help us to look into the details together! Let's see which target is more suitable!"
Petukhov really didn't want to participate, but if he said no now, it would be disrespectful and disrespectful. He could only reluctantly take the list and glance at it hastily.
The list is naturally not long. There are only about a dozen names on it. Who are these people? Petukhov has no idea. If Pugachev has not met Li Xiao, then he is probably following Alek.
Xie and Shuvanov figured it out.
But after that meeting, he could probably guess some clues. For example, Li Xiao was related to the Bretianu brothers. He guessed that someone might have relied on the influence of those brothers to facilitate his activities.
, otherwise Pugachev would not have passed through the border safely in a carriage with the badge of the Bretianu brothers.
So for Petukhov, although he didn't know who to kill, he knew which one not to kill. At least it would be beneficial to them to have the Bretianu brothers alive for the time being, so he said slowly:
"I don't know much about the impact of the tasks on this list, but I think those particularly critical people are absolutely very defensive at this time. We may not be able to attack them with our manpower..."
