There are some things that really can’t be explained, and it really doesn’t make sense once they are explained. For example, the so-called meritorious officials that Crown Prince Alexander praised and commended in Bucharest were not particularly special among these people who really made contributions to the counter-insurgency.
Most of them are unqualified, at least in terms of being worthy of being personally received and commended by Crown Prince Alexander.
But who knows that these people are all descendants of great nobles or close relatives of powerful officials? Even if they only visited Duke Mikhail's headquarters at the last moment, they have never even seen the Wallachian rebels.
One, let alone carrying out a gun and putting down the rebellion in person, but whoever gave them a strong relationship should have this gold-plated opportunity!
As for those whose backgrounds are not so good, or who are simply civilians, even if they have made great achievements through life and death, they are not qualified to receive the commendation of Crown Prince Alexander. The reason is that their status is too humble and they cannot be put on the table.
Is this fair? It must be extremely unfair, but there is no fairness in this world. If you want fairness, you have to work hard. If you don't work hard, there is absolutely no fairness. At least no one will reward you with the so-called fairness.
Of course, as the entire world begins to enter modernization, and as the traditional aristocratic order continues to loosen and collapse under the impact of new trends of thought, the world that Nicholas I liked will soon be gone forever, and his descendants will
If the children and grandchildren are still as traditional and conservative as in history, the whole family will be wiped out soon after the revolution.
But to be honest, even if the Romanov family is wiped out and the whole family is wiped out, there is no need to complain, because they are really not a thing and they deserve it!
Even though Li Xiao is now a member of this damn family, he still feels that this family really deserves it and does not deserve sympathy at all. Of course, Li Xiao does not want his children and grandchildren to be wiped out and the whole family is wiped out, so he deliberately goes up.
Climb, risk your life to change the final fate of this family, everything is for yourself! Do you think it is easy for him!
"I heard that you were promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and received a Second Class Vladimir Medal..."
Anton seemed to be congratulating Li Xiao, but judging from his tone and expression, he was actually fighting for Li Xiao's injustice. Because judging from Li Xiao's achievements, he was promoted to middle school and outside the school.
Carrying a second-class Vladimir Medal is a bit unjustifiable. It gives people the feeling of being deliberately suppressed.
However, Li Xiao was very calm, because he had long known that as long as Nicholas I and his son were in power for one day, he would be suppressed for one day. In fact, this time it was probably a second-level or first-level Vladimir Medal.
He was sent to him. He was more satisfied with Duke Alexander. The Duke helped him out with a certain degree of goodwill, and then gave him the rank of lieutenant colonel.
But what is more annoying is that although the military rank has been promoted, the position is not satisfactory. He was previously a major and deputy battalion commander. This time, he was promoted to a lieutenant colonel, not to mention a full-time battalion commander, but also to a deputy regimental commander.
Let's do it! But the stingy Nicholas I only gave him the false position of chief of staff of the regiment, but did not give him the opportunity to directly lead the troops.
Of course, Li Xiao doesn't really care about this. Because he knows how much he weighs, and if he is allowed to lead troops to fight, it would be called chaos. A half-understood time traveler like him can only be a military officer.
The dog-headed strategist can give you some epoch-making suggestions, but the actual command of battles and troops depends on professionals.
What Li Xiao really cares about is the news that Duke Alexander just revealed to him. The Duke told him that he had previously suggested to Nicholas I that Li Xiao be transferred to the embassy in Austria to serve as a military attaché for him, but Nicholas I was rejected.
Rejected without mercy.
Although the reason for the rejection was that Li Xiao did not understand diplomacy and could not do the job of a diplomatic attaché, according to Duke Alexander’s understanding through secret channels, the real reason was that Nicholas I did not want to give him a chance to show off his talents, especially not to allow him to participate in diplomacy.
The job opportunity, anyway, is to suppress him and not give him a chance to stand up.
Li Xiao still remembers that Duke Alexander patted him on the shoulder and advised him sincerely: "You must endure loneliness. I know it is uncomfortable to have such an opportunity where you are not able to display your talents. But this is Russia. You just need to slowly accumulate
If you work hard slowly, you will eventually have a chance to get ahead! Now I advise you to keep a low profile, His Majesty dislikes you very much!"
If you want to say how disappointed Li Xiao is, it’s really not because he was mentally prepared and knew it would be such a result. But if you want to say that he can tolerate and accept it completely, it’s unbearable. Who else would be suppressed like this all the time?
Come on, how can you not be angry?
Anyway, Li Xiao's heart was burning, but he concealed his emotions very well, because he knew very well that anger was meaningless and would only go to his head, and the last thing he needed now was an impulsive heart.
Mind.
Isn't it just to suppress him? So what, wasn't it also to suppress him before? Didn't he climb to his current position step by step? Although this position is still awkward, but at first he could only stand outside the Winter Palace to give Nikolai
Compared to standing guard all my life, there is a huge difference.
What's more, as he has reached the age of eighteen, he will soon have a counterattack opportunity that will make Nicholas I furious and bleed three liters. It is time for him to take back the huge inheritance left by his cheap father.
At least Old Igor has told him that the clan is discussing this issue. Although there are many objections, according to the current laws and the verbal promise of Nicholas I, all this will eventually be fulfilled.
Anyway, old Igor is making contact with everyone, preparing to vent his bad temper for eighteen years and let Nicholas I have a bad start in 1849.
Li Xiao also has some expectations for this. Although he knows that the process may be complicated and not smooth sailing, and there will even be a lot of intrigues and infighting during the process, this does not prevent him from having hope!
"Anton, there is no need for you to fight for me!" Li Xiao replied openly while sitting on the carriage, "Compared with those unfortunate people who died in this war and this revolution, my gains have already been
That’s enough. People need to be content and grateful, not to mention that if you get everything at once, what’s the point in the future? There are still many days ahead, and I don’t want to just wait to die!”
Anton admired Li Xiao's open-mindedness, at least he thought he couldn't do it. Looking at Li Xiao who was calm and full of fighting spirit, Anton felt that it would be more interesting to follow such a boss.
He asked hopefully: "Sir, what shall we do next!"
Li Xiao glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's time to wrap up our trip to Hungary!"
