While Mikheyevich and Miyakov were worried, Kornilov was also discussing how to deal with these two miscellaneous things.
"How is the investigation going?" Kornilov asked with a serious face.
Balyakov replied with the same serious expression: "The initial inspection showed that the situation is not good. At least one-third of the materials in the warehouse are missing!"
one third!
Kornilov was not particularly surprised when he heard this number, because he had known for a long time that there would be no baskets in the place where the Mikheyevich brothers were. Mark Mikheyevich had emptied the warehouse back then.
, it’s just a miracle that it’s only one-third missing.
According to Kornilov's estimate, if there are still two-thirds of the supplies, the subsequent military operations to invade Moldavia and Wallachia should be completed relatively smoothly. After all, the Russian army has long been used to it.
In a state of shortage of supplies, it has become instinct to fight on an empty stomach.
But what Kornilov didn’t expect was that Balyakov didn’t finish his words: “One third is missing, and the other third only exists in the accounts...
"
puff……
Kornilov jumped at this point. Just because it exists in the accounts doesn't mean it doesn't exist. He asked angrily: "Doesn't it just mean it doesn't exist anymore?"
Balyakov replied expressionlessly: "Theoretically, there is, because there are no problems with the accounts, but..."
"But you just haven't seen the real thing, right?"
Kornilov cursed, he still had two-thirds of the supplies, so the war could be fought, but with only one-third of the supplies left, how could he let his troops go to the northwest?
But Baliakov told him calmly: "The remaining one-third is basically useless!"
Kornilov finally broke out and said angrily: "Why?"
Balyakov sighed and said: "The remaining food is basically moldy or mixed with sand and cannot be eaten, the gunpowder is basically damp and hardened, and most of the equipment is damaged..."
Kornilov rubbed his temples and asked in a deep voice: "How much mold has grown? You should sort out the sand mixed with it first. Fortunately, it's just sand, not completely soil. That's what those bastards used in the Caucasus last time."
He used brown soil to fool things, and he even called it Heileba. It was meant to be mixed with soil. Damn it!"
Balyakov smiled bitterly and said: "Most of it is moldy. It's all garbage. It seems that they bought it at a low price from the local grain merchants to top up their income. As for the sand mixed with it, well, it's just a pound of flour mixed with
Nine pounds of soil!”
puff!!!
Kornilov sprayed it out again. If it was nine pounds of flour mixed with one pound of soil or sand, he would accept it. Even if it was mixed with two pounds or two and a half pounds, he would accept it with gritted teeth. This nine pounds of sand and one pound of flour are
What the hell?
"These bastards!"
Kornilov jumped up, angrily snatched the notebook from Balyakov's hand, and hurriedly scanned the pages, becoming more and more angry until he fiercely pushed the booklet to the
A fall on the table:
"It's too much! It's lawless! Lawless!"
Balyakov also feels the same way. He has been a military policeman for many years and has seen corruption, but this is the first time he has seen corruption to such an extent. It is simply too arrogant and excessive!
"Take down all those in charge of warehouses and logistics!" Kornilov ordered through gritted teeth. "Let me search them later. Even if they are tortured, you have to recover the supplies for me!"
Balyakov was a little surprised, because he had communicated with Kornilov before coming here. According to him, as long as most of the supplies in the warehouse were there, he did not intend to take Izmail away.
How is the person in charge?
According to Kornilov's wishes, the war was imminent. The sudden removal of the main officer in charge of the Izmail area was likely to cause unrest or mutiny. He really did not want to cause such a disturbance at this juncture. Once it affected the recovery,
Wallachia and Moldavia's plan has unpredictable consequences, so we can't be so impulsive!
Balyakov also understood this relatively well. Nicholas I's attitude was already very clear, that is, Wallachia and Moldavia must be brought back in their entirety. This is the most important thing for Russia at the moment.
Nothing can go wrong.
Kornilov must make a compromise on this. He must not fall out with the deputy commander of the fleet and have internal strife, which would lead to a fight over wool.
But now Izmail is a mess that Kornilov cannot accept no matter what. He has nothing to ask for, no supplies, and the discipline of the army is in a mess. He actually caused the scandal of the entire battalion moving to become gangsters. This
Damn it, I want to go to heaven!
"Did anyone keep an eye on Mikhail and that Pyotr Nikolayevich?" Kornilov suddenly asked.
Balyakov nodded and said: "Of course, although you told me not to investigate them too harshly before, I still have to do what I should do!"
Yes, even though Kornilov was rude to Mikheyevich and Miyakov when he first came up, it was really just a matter of attitude. Kornilov’s intention was to punish Fra
It would be enough to be a direct party to the Si case and to clear Baron Klimov's reputation.
He has no intention of completely destroying Mikhail for the time being. That will only cause Mark Mikhail to completely break out and mess around in the upcoming military operation. He feels that he cannot give Mikhail
Mikheyevich pushed too hard, so let’s let him go for the time being.
Kornilov really didn't expect this guy to be so courageous. Any work in his jurisdiction would be a mess and would directly affect the subsequent military operations. This made Kornilov intolerable.
If this guy is left alone, he may cause trouble in the subsequent military operations, so Kornilov cannot continue to ignore it.
"What are these two bastards doing?" Kornilov seemed to be asking, but he soon answered the question himself. He mocked: "Needless to say, they must be destroying evidence and killing people, right?
"
For Kornilov, these two cases are not complicated at all. He knows all the relevant persons responsible. Based on his understanding of Mikheyevich, he must be busy wiping his own ass.
.
Balyakov also sneered, but immediately returned to his expressionless state: "Yes, I seem to have contacted the black-hearted businessman named Sergei Mikhailovich Lukav for dinner!
I guess Lukav has been dealt with by now!"
"Hmph!" Kornilov sneered, "That guy is also a scumbag, and his death would not be a pity! But since you want to touch Mikheyevich, you can't let his death be in vain. Send someone to investigate and get the evidence."
Arrive! Then we will slowly settle accounts with them!"
