Grand Duke Constantine had bad thoughts in an instant. After hearing what happened, his expression immediately changed and he yelled at Messadov:
"Ulyan Ulyanovich, what are you doing! Is this how you betray the trust His Majesty and I have placed in you? Kutepov and Gashinsky broke the law before, and now there is another one.
Gerasim Gerasimovich, is your 748th regiment specially designed to hide evil and evil!"
After a pause, he angrily rebuked: "Or the root of the problem lies with you as the regiment leader. The top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked, because you are the leader!"
Big beads of sweat rolled down Mesadov's fat face like a waterfall. He was also sprayed by the Grand Duke, but the effect of being sprayed by the Grand Duke Constantine was completely different from that of being sprayed by Li Xiao.
As the assistant to the Minister of the Navy, Grand Duke Constantine naturally had the authority to manage the troops under the Navy Ministry. Let alone criticize Mesadov, he would not even dare to urinate on Messadov's head.
Of course, even without the title of Assistant to the Minister of the Navy, Grand Duke Constantine, as the favorite son of Nicholas I, still has enough intimidation. If you say a few harsh words, let alone a little shrimp like Messadov, ordinary ministers will panic.
Now this was a two-pronged approach. Messadov was successful in not being stunned on the spot. But it was even worse if he didn't faint, because it meant that he would continue to be scolded by Grand Duke Constantine.
"I don't think you should be the leader anymore... The 748 regiment has caused so many troubles before and after, each time it is more serious and more vicious... Now you are openly distributing banned books! What's the next step? What are you going to do next?
What are you doing!"
"A blatant rebellion!!!"
With a pop, Mesadov's knees softened and he knelt down. This made Grand Duke Constantine hate him even more. He not only scolded him but also sarcastically said:
"Now you know you're afraid? It's quite decisive for you to kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Seeing that Messadov was being sprayed so much that he could no longer take care of himself, Leonid couldn't stand it. Although he couldn't stand it and didn't like Messadov, he felt that many of the shortcomings of the 748th Regiment were caused by him.
. But it doesn’t make much sense to catch Messadov and criticize him about this matter today. It will make him suffer a heart attack and die, and it will not solve the actual problems of the 748th Regiment.
"Your Excellency, criticizing Captain Mesadov now will not solve the actual problem... Such a bad case has occurred, and as the deputy leader, I also have a responsibility... I think the first issue now is to find out these banned books
Where did it come from!"
Didn’t Grand Duke Constantine know that tracing the source was the primary issue? Of course he knew, but there was a reason why he caught Messadov criticizing him and talking about how the 748th Regiment was so bad.
Grand Duke Constantine, who had a keen sense of smell, immediately smelled the smell of conspiracy from the incident. If you want to say that there are officers in the Russian army who hide banned books and circulate them privately, then there must be. But in the 748th Regiment, especially he knew about Gerasimov
After Qi had been Gasinski's lackey, he simply didn't believe that such a thing would secretly hide and disseminate banned books.
He felt that Gerasimovich might have brought banned books to frame him, and the target was his annoying cousin. I'm afraid the instigator was Messadov, who was scared to his knees. But today their trick was a failure.
Well, I probably didn’t expect that someone was so well-guarded and was caught before Gerasimovich could make a move.
When Grand Duke Constantine criticized Messadov, it was a slap in the face of his brother, Crown Prince Alexander. It was tantamount to scolding Alexander for being incompetent and unable to handle even the smallest things. This was beneficial to him.
But while criticizing Mesadov, Grand Duke Constantine could not excuse Li Xiao. After all, this was his father's decision, which must be supported and implemented to the end. Therefore, the 748th Group must share the responsibility. If someone in the 748th Group is responsible, then it must be
There is also responsibility, and you can still spank someone when the time comes.
What's more important is that Grand Duke Constantine knew that he must not mention the matter of tracing the source. Messadov would definitely be killed if he traced it, and Antonov and other senior officials of the 748th Regiment would also be taken into trouble.
At that time, the matter was too big. Of course, it was good for him to make the matter so big. After all, it made his brother more embarrassed. But the decision to pursue the investigation must not be made by him. What he did was openly provoking Crown Prince Alexander. At that time, he
I won't even allow it, I will definitely come over and slap him with a backhand.
Therefore, Archduke Constantine must avoid suspicion, see through the situation without revealing it, wait until he hides in the dark, and then instigate a few horsemen to stir up trouble and rain cold arrows, the effect will be better!
This is the level of politics. Grand Duke Constantine knew the right things very clearly, and he was so good. He was indeed the favorite son of Nicholas I, and his level of scheming and power play was really high.
So when Leonid mentioned the matter of tracing the source, Grand Duke Constantine immediately began to pretend to be stupid and talk about him: "What else are you investigating? Isn't it obvious that it is this pig!"
Grand Duke Constantine pointed angrily at Messadov who collapsed on the ground: "This is what this pig did. If he hadn't been so lazy, why would the 748th regiment be like this! It pisses me off so much, it makes me so angry.
Disappointment, it hurts me so much!”
Grand Duke Constantine chattered a lot of useless nonsense. In addition to scolding Messadov, he also angrily criticized the bad atmosphere of the 748th Regiment. Finally, he scolded Li Xiao:
"Andreka! Look, look, why your company has such a scum, can you just ignore it and stand aside? If you discipline them well, something like this will happen, and you will do the same.
You cannot absolve yourself of the responsibility!"
Li Xiao had been watching his performance for a long time. The 748th Group and Messadov scolded anyone at will. No matter how angry they were, it would only have such a big impact on him. But someone feinted a gun but pointed the finger at him to cause trouble. This
I can't agree to it.
"Kostya, please make it clear that I have only seen this Second Lieutenant Gerasim Gerasimovich twice in total. Once was when he was captured by the third unit last time, and the other time is today. This
This guy has been on sick leave with Colonel Mesadov's permission, how can I discipline him?"
Grand Duke Constantine glared at Messadov again, and became more and more disgusted with the fat pig. He felt that he was too slippery and did not know how to choose a more suitable partner.
What use can someone like Gerasimovich do? If something goes wrong, someone can push you away and sue you, making your crime even bigger. How many do you have?
Only a fool would choose such a person to cause trouble!
I wonder if you can bribe someone to be with you or at least someone who has stayed in Erlian for a long time. If something happens to someone, you won't be able to shirk the blame.
But Constantine also knew that it was too late at this time. Anyway, he just hit someone casually. It would be good if he succeeded, but it didn't matter if he didn't. So he laughed, skipped the conversation, and said: "This matter
It's too big. It must be investigated strictly. Let the third department send people! They are better at this..."
