Does Li Xiao want to get help from his friends? Of course he does, because Nicholas I has been staring at him, making his life extremely miserable. He was a dignified Grand Duke of Tsarist Russia, but he spent the first eighteen years living with a run-down nobleman.
A virtue, tell me what it is called.
It is true that his cheap mother is Polish, but so what? No matter what, you have to give him some face. Not to mention enjoying the luxurious package treatment of the Grand Duke of Tsarist Russia, at least it should not be too shabby. Nicholas I even
I have already taken care of the little property I have, and I don't intend to give him anything.
This uncle can tolerate his aunt, but he can’t!
Li Xiao was naturally very unhappy, and naturally wanted to change the current embarrassing situation. But he also knew that he could not eat hot tofu in a hurry, and his group of friends were very loyal. As long as he asked for help, these people would stab him in every possible way.
Help.
However, things can't be done that way. After all, you can't just think about yourself in everything, you also have to think a little more from the position of others. Leonid and Alexei have a deep family background, and the other has just become the governor of Wallachia.
He is considered a high-ranking official in the border area. If they want to pull him over, it should not be too easy.
But in this case, they must have hated Nicholas I. Li Xiao knew very well the personality of this petty old cunt and cheap uncle, and he would definitely retaliate. If you make him uncomfortable for a while, he will make you uncomfortable for the rest of your life.
There is no need to let a moment of happiness hinder the bright future of these two good friends. Anyway, Li Xiao is very open-minded. He is only eighteen years old and has plenty of time to wait. And how long does his old cunning uncle have left? He always counts.
Seven or eight years. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, let alone seven or eight years!
So Li Xiao is not in a hurry at all, he is just slowly accumulating contacts and resources. Wallachia is the first step. As Alexey establishes a foothold here, as he further consolidates his ties with Gor
It's not too difficult for the Chakov family to slowly climb up the ladder, but it's just not possible to reach the top in one step like those normal royal relatives.
Is it great to rise to the top in one step? Of course it is very exciting, but the foundation is not solid. Take Grand Duke Constantine as an example. He became a rear admiral and assistant to the minister of the navy at the beginning. The starting point is frighteningly high.
But does he really understand the navy and is an expert on the navy?
I'm afraid that's not the case. This person knows very little about the navy. Most of his energy is focused on online gangsters and fighting for power. Naval affairs are only half a bucket of water. And professional matters are most afraid of half a bucket of water. He seems to understand.
, but in fact I don’t know why.
If Nicholas I hadn't always liked this son, Grand Duke Constantine's true level would be nothing!
Moreover, this guy didn't know anything about the grassroots level of the navy, so he could easily be fooled by the people below him. Anyway, Li Xiao didn't want to be fooled by others.
What's more, what if you can be the head of a department now? The whole of Russia has to revolve around the will of Nicholas I. Do you want reform? Do you want to start a career? It's just a dream!
Look at Grand Duke Constantine, who always wanted to carry out reforms in the navy, but even though he was Nicholas I's favorite son, he was still beaten by old stubborn Menshikov and could only stare.
Anyway, Li Xiao has had enough of being aggrieved like this. He would rather hide below and develop his power freely, and then climb up when the time is right.
Naturally, Li Xiao just patted Alexei on the shoulder and accepted his kindness. Now he was just going to have a good relationship with Duke Mikhail or Duke Alexander and go to the embassy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs abroad.
Errands, such as going to Austria to hang out with Duke Alexander, would be great.
With Duke Alexander protecting you, you can do things with confidence, so why not?
Naturally, no pretender to the Grand Duke of Wallachia would dare to refuse Alexey's request. As for Duke Mikhail, he is naturally happy to see it come true. What soldier doesn't like medals? Even from Wallachia.
Although foreign medals are incomparable with domestic medals, they cannot stand the higher level of medals given by others!
Soon, almost a month later, Nicholas I's reply came. His Majesty drew a circle in the list of candidates submitted by Alexei, and Barbu Shtilbey got his wish and became Vara.
The new Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Guia.
And this also means that the conferment of honors and knighthoods planned by Li Xiao can be opened. The first thing is of course the conferment of honors. Duke Mikhail was the first to be awarded the title of Wallachia, which was established with emergency approval by the Wallachian Provisional Parliament.
Legion of Honor.
According to the resolution of the Provisional Parliament of Wallachia, the Legion of Honor is the highest honorary medal in Wallachia and is awarded to domestic and foreign generals who have made outstanding contributions to Wallachia.
The medal is made of gold and weighs about fifty grams. It has a cross structure and is surrounded by sword, rifle and cannon elements. The most precious thing is that in addition to a ten-carat ruby inlaid in the center of the cross, the two sections are also covered with broken diamonds.
.Anyway, the value of the material of the medal alone is as high as about 100,000 rubles, which is really extremely valuable.
Of course, for a big boss like Duke Mikhail, money is not important. What is important is the honor, because he was also awarded the title of Guardian of Wallachia, which is really awesome.
At the same time, General Lazarev also received the Wallachian Legion of Honor, and he also received the title of Count of Bucharest. Then the generals at the next level also received the Wallachian Cross and the title of Viscount.
.
Then at the middle and lower levels, such as small officers like Vishniak, many people with outstanding performance also received the title of baron and the Wallachian Gold Star. Finally, there are those with lower merits, such as Boris and Li Xiao.
Yes, there is only one Wallachian Gold Star Medal.
Anyway, after the investiture meeting, Boris was envious of Vishnyak, because the baron ribbon on his body really made him salivate. For a down-and-out nobleman like him, he was willing to risk his life for such a title.
.He was even willing to trade his fiancée, Miss Pafra, with Vishnyak for the title of baronet.
"It seems that Vishka's mental settlement has been opened," Alexei looked at the two people and said to Li Xiao with a smile: "Your method is indeed effective, but it only hurts Boris and can only make him feel wronged.
Just a moment."
Yes, according to Alexey's original plan, Boris also had a baron title, but Li Xiao persuaded him to remove it. The reason is very simple. Boris's gains are already big enough, and this can also make Vish
Nyack was even happier. After all, if Boris was also a baron, his surprise would be much smaller.
What's more, this is also an irritant for Boris, lest he be content and only think about his wife and children and lose his fighting spirit...
