Mikhail Gorchakov's feeling towards Mark Mikheyevich became worse and worse. Even he did not dare to underestimate Lazarev, and this idiot dared to despise a meritorious serviceman like this.
Veteran, you can imagine how bad this guy's character is.
If Mikhail Gorchakov's dislike for Mark was five points before, it has suddenly increased to seven points now.
However, with Mikhail Gorchakov's temper, he would not embarrass Mark Mikheyevich so much, because there is no need, he knows how difficult the kid is, and avoid such stinky shit
Just fine.
"General Lazarev has always been dedicated to the public good. With the war coming soon, it is normal to inspect the fleet... General Mark, how is the situation of the naval infantry? Are you ready for battle?"
Mikhail Gorchakov knew that asking this guy about the situation of the navy was definitely talking to a fool. This guy was a complete layman like his master Menshikov, and asking them was like asking a blind question.
Thinking about it, Duke Mikhail came from the army, so he should know something about infantry, right?
It can only be said that Duke Mikhail was wrong, and he was very wrong, because Mark immediately replied: "Don't worry, my boys are the best. They heard that they can follow famous people."
We are excited to go to the battlefield together with the God of War and can’t wait to say hello to you!”
Duke Mikhail did not doubt the lie, and finally showed a smile, and said casually: "Then I will go and see the boys, don't keep them waiting!"
Well, Mark Mikheyevich suddenly felt bitter in his heart. He just said casually that it would be hell if the naval infantry of the Black Sea Fleet could really do what he said, because no matter who he was, he would not have enough to eat.
How high can morale be when training without wearing warm clothes means fishing for three days and drying nets for two days?
And these are all the contributions of Mark Mikheyevich. If he hadn't been focused on making money from the naval infantry in these years, he wouldn't be like this.
Of course, this fellow was well aware of these situations, so he definitely did not dare to let Mikhail Gorchakov go to inspect immediately. Instead, he changed the subject and said: "Sir, you have been traveling so hard all the way, so you should rest first.
, go review the young men tomorrow! I have prepared a reception banquet for you, how about we go to the banquet first? "
Mikhail Gorchakov didn't like to hear this. His only purpose in coming to the Black Sea was to gain more military exploits. For him, soldiers and the army came first. As for the reception banquet, this
Growing things in St. Petersburg means having a small feast every three days and a big feast every five days. I’ve long been tired of it.
"Let's put off the reception banquet for the evening. It's still early now. I'll go review the boys first!"
Mikhail Gorchakov is the kind of strong general who always speaks the truth. Now that he has made up his mind, he will definitely not allow Mark Mikheyevich to continue beeping. Suddenly, this guy has a bitter look on his face, helpless.
Now he had no choice but to bite the bullet, and before getting on the carriage, he rushed to tell the adjutant a few words, asking the adjutant to make preparations quickly, so that the scene would not be too ugly!
Yes, just don't be too ugly, because even he himself knows that ugliness is inevitable, but the interesting thing is that Mark's "don't be too ugly" is extremely ugly in the eyes of Mikhail Gorchakov
.
The uneven formations, sluggish soldiers, and even the military uniforms are a hodgepodge. Seeing such a group of people, if Mikhail Gorchakov's expression can still be seen, then he is not
Really a soldier.
Anyway, Mikhail Gorchakov's face was not much worse than the sky before the storm. Anyway, any trace of luck he had towards Mark was completely shattered in this military parade.
Because this performance was really terrible, because Mark threw away the only fig leaf that the Russian army could use, and his performance was simply eye-catching.
What, you ask, what was the only fig leaf for the Russian army in the era of Nicholas I? It was the sense of spectacle during the military parade. This thing was the basic skill of the Russian army in this era. Even if the troops walked onto the parade ground again, they had to look like that.
That's right, because Nicholas I himself was a military parade fanatic.
His troops may not be able to fight, but they must be able to express themselves on the military parade. They must step out of Russia's momentum and show Russia's courage. But now Mark's troops have nothing and look like a group of eunuchs visiting a brothel.
, that one is so painful!
"The military appearance of the naval infantry is indeed different from that of our army!"
Mikhail Gorchakov couldn't bear it anymore and vomited directly: "These young men haven't had enough to eat for half a month, right? And these military uniforms, they must be in stock from 1829!"
Indeed, the patched military uniforms are too eye-catching, and the military posture with three swaying steps is really unique. If these are elite naval infantry, then Mikhail Gorchakov believes that he can capture a group of them from Siberia.
Exiling prisoners can also beat these guys.
Mark Mikheyevich was also a little embarrassed, but he was more slanderous in his heart: [I told you to go to the banquet first, but you insist on coming to see it yourself. Do you still blame me?]
Yes, this idiot thinks that the root cause of the unsightly scene is Mikhail Gorchakov, not his own incompetence and greed, just like some constipated people blame gravity not being strong enough. Like
Idiots like him never reflect on their own problems.
If just looking at the formation and military parade gave Mikhail Gorchakov a chill, when he continued to inspect the barracks and military supplies warehouse despite Mark Mikheyevich's objections, his whole body was filled with excitement.
Like falling into an ice cave.
"General Mark, where are the food and fodder? Where are the uniforms? Didn't His Majesty already give you orders to reserve them? Why don't I see anything?" Mikhail Gorchakov asked with a cold face.
Mark Mikheyevich wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed Mikhail Gorchakov in his heart: "Your Majesty also asked us to be honest and honest! Which official is honest?"
Alright? You guys, please don’t make things difficult for others with things you can’t do!]
Of course, he did not dare to reply like this, but explained with a smile: "I have already ordered the fleet to transport grain, grass and other supplies to Izmail. After all, it is close to Wallachia and Moldavia.
It’s also convenient to replenish supplies…”
Unless Mikhail Gorchakov is an idiot, it is impossible for him to believe Mark's lies. Anyway, his face is already very ugly. His familiar adjutant knows that the Duke has already expressed his feelings towards Mark Mikhail.
